On September 15, the 46th Venice Film Festival ended successfully.

Although the Venice Film Festival has repeatedly advertised its literary and artistic quality to distinguish the increasingly commercial Cannes Film Festival from the politically-focused Berlin Film Festival, after a series of publicity by various media, the "Little Little" has been firmly marked with the anti-war label. Under the current turbulent world situation, Island Cry finally successfully won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.

After the results of the award came out, after Disney's tireless publicity, the fame of "Cry on a Island" undoubtedly overshadowed "City of Sadness", which won the Golden Lion Award this year.

Of course, most people admit that a film like "City of Sadness", which depicts the joys and sorrows of little people in the context of a big era, is far more artistic than "Frightening Island" and has a more humanistic flavor. But this is a profit-seeking world after all. Although "City of Sadness" won the highest honor, as an art film, it is destined to not do much commercially.

Although "Frightening Island" won the Venice Silver Lion Award, but through the screening in Venice, as long as there is no problem with vision, distributors all over the world know that this is a commercial film, and it is also a very exciting plot with huge box office potential. commercial film. Therefore, when "Cry on the Island" won the Venice Silver Lion Award as the icing on the cake, filmmakers from all over the world who had already started negotiating with Disney for distribution flocked to it.

On the day the winning results were announced,

Disney has successfully sold distribution rights in 12 countries around the world, with more countries and regions under negotiation.

Of course, Disney will certainly not forget its domestic publicity. Although with the rise of Hollywood, the decline of European cinema. The influence of the three major film festivals in North America is getting lower and lower, but the fact that Hollywood films can win awards abroad must be something that Americans can be proud of. After a frenzied bombardment by the newspapers and media. The fame of "Cry on the Island" is quickly known to everyone.

Immediately, Disney announced the film's schedule. November 1st, Halloween. Although this is not the most popular schedule, some people even propose to put "Cry on the Island" in the summer schedule next year, but after communicating with Eric, Michael Eisner determined this a lot No one is optimistic about the schedule.

In fact, the reason why Eric made this suggestion also had his own considerations in it. "Frightening Island" is not the kind of traditional western horror film that relies on blood and violence to attract audiences into the cinema. It focuses on the suspense and plot in the heart, and its pg-13 rating will not hinder the festival during the New Year. The whole family went to the cinema together, so there was no problem in putting it on the New Year's schedule.

What's more, who said that horror movies are not suitable for the New Year's gear, Eric remembers very clearly that the famous "Scream" in his previous life was released during the Christmas period, and he obtained 100 million at a cost of more than 10 million. more box office. That's a real R-rated horror movie that relies on violence and gore as its selling point, and even a poor person was caught in the opening minutes by...

In early September, most of the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle" had already rushed to Seattle ahead of schedule to prepare for the preparatory work for the film. It was not until September 16 that Eric completely dealt with the recent affairs of Firefly and was ready to leave for Seattle to start filming. "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Home Alone 2" will be produced next to each other. Therefore, the shooting After Hanks's role in Seattle, Eric will rush to New York to shoot Nicole's main role, "Seattle" filming, and then start "Home Alone 2 Lost in New York". Since the previous sequel was still a great success, Eric did not plan to change the script.

Although time is tight. But Eric, who is used to this kind of shooting rhythm, doesn't have too much pressure. He just feels uncomfortable now. The location is in the Los Angeles Airport lobby. In addition to some of the staff who are going to follow Eric to Seattle, there are several women who are next to him, Drew, Elizabeth and Julia on one side, and Aniston on the other. and Nicole.

Not far away, the flash light came on from time to time. Except for the paparazzi who were stopped by the airport security several times but still relentless, even bystanders raised their cameras to participate.

After all, among these women, except for Elizabeth, the other four little girls are all famous actresses. Although Eric has been reducing his exposure, he wants to work hard in the direction of some kind of behind-the-scenes mastermind, but he is helpless. His fame is getting bigger and bigger, and the media has never been less concerned about him, so the passengers in the airport don't want to know him.

It is conceivable that there will definitely be ambiguous lace headlines such as "Playboy's crew starts, five beauties surround sweet farewell" in tomorrow's newspapers.

Of course, there must be no sweetness. If his eyes have a substantial shape, he has now been dressed by various sharp tools and can go directly to the barbecue.

Take a look at a few women, although they are all dressed up beautifully, but with those eyes and expressions, the little girl has a narrow face, Aniston is full of resentment, and Nicole's ridicule can no longer be contained. Elizabeth, if you pretend it doesn't matter, just pretend to the end. Why are you stepping on your feet? You don't know that you are wearing high heels. And Julia, what kind of expression is that, sometimes helpless, sometimes resentful, sometimes low, just showing a nonchalant expression and then a little sadness, do you want to show that your acting skills are the best in this group? ?

Although they came to see him off, the women seemed to have discussed it, put him aside, and chatted in two groups on their own.

It is understandable for Nicole and Aniston Eric. The newspapers have been hyping the relationship between the two of them during this period of time. The two went shopping together, ate together, and the photo of Nicole visiting the "Friends" studio was taken. a whole lot.

Many newspapers attributed Nicole's "Sleepless in Seattle" heroine to Aniston's recommendation to her boyfriend, but Nicole wisely did not refute it. Of course, Eric is happy to see this. After all, among the heroines of several movies related to him, Eric and Nicole are the most 'innocent' because of the very good cover up of the maid experience. .

It is estimated that this is why Aniston and Nicole become good friends. Eric even thought that when Xiaoyi did this, she must have kept the idea of ​​preventing herself from stealing.

But the other three women, Eric, are a little confused. They seem to be very familiar. He knows Elizabeth and Julia. What's going on with Xiao Nizi?

After so much patience, finally, after half an hour of torment, the incomparably pleasant announcement of the airport announcer rang, and it was time to board the plane.
