When Tsui Hark led the crew members to interact on stage, the opening movie of the Venice Film Festival was officially played.
In the ethereal and magical music, a little boy rides on a boat-shaped moon, the angler in the water.
Oh, I know the opening of this movie. It turns out that "Shushan" is a DreamWorks movie!
Immediately, the audience exclaimed that as Hong Kong films grew more and more prosperous, Jiahe, DreamWorks and New Art City have several movies sold into the European market every year.
Among them, there are the largest number of Hong Kong films released in France and the UK, and there are also a few in Italy. There are even a group of European audiences who specialize in watching and collecting Hong Kong films, so the opening of DreamWorks is no stranger to Italian movie enthusiasts.
After the opening of DreamWorks ended, the icon of Tsui Hark Film Studio was followed, and the main film was officially launched.
There were many mountains with mist and mist appearing on the theater screen, and suddenly a stream of light passed by the sky.
Everything in the camera was that an old man with a long bearded came stepping on a sword, holding a person like a chicken in his hand.
Like an arrow offline, the old man with long beards suddenly left, with only a small figure left in the camera.
Wow, it's so cool, is this an wizard from the East?
It should be that they used swords to fly instead of brooms.
……
Ordinary audiences were immediately excited, and they focused on the beautiful pictures of the Eastern fantasy world and the magical flying magic.
The film colleagues who came to enjoy the opening film were shocked by the special effects technology of "Shushan". The scenes of more than ten seconds just now were really difficult to shoot.
Of course, the special effects of "Shushan" are not against the will of heaven. "Star Wars" ten years ago was an epoch-making special effects change, and then it continued to innovate on this basis.
The special effects of "Shushan" are created by Industrial Light and Magic. They are basically the techniques explored when filming "Star Wars", but occasionally there are some innovations in the places.
These special effects will look rough after ten years, but when they are shown at this moment, coupled with the beautiful and novel oriental landscape scenery, the shocking power it brings to the audience is no less than watching "Star Wars" back then.
Real person, Deng Yin has brought it back!In front of the Taoist temple where Dream Factory paid for renovation on Qingcheng Mountain, the old man flying with his sword threw a young man to the ground.
In the original novel "The Legend of Swordsman of Shushan", Changmei and Deng Yin are brothers, but in this "Shushan", Deng Yin is the junior nephew of Changmei.
The long-browed real man trembled his eyebrows and shouted: "A evil disciple, you betray the rules of Shushan Gate and kill fellow practitioners indiscriminately, but you still have something to say!
Deng Yin said disdainfully: That person plotted against me first, could I stand and let him kill?
After a questioning, the long-browed real man raised his sleeve and hit his palm out of the long sleeve. The palm wind hit Deng Yin's chest, but five palm prints were printed on his back.
Deng Yin was directly hit by this palm to the foot of the mountain, and his entire body of skills was abolished and he became an abandoned sinner of the Shushan Sword Sect.

Director Tsui Hark’s work!
When the six Chinese characters and their English subtitles appeared on the screen, Yu Yingnan, a scholar played by He Jiajin, was already running into the ruined temple in the heavy rain with a bookcase on his back, while Deng Yin, who was expelled from the sect, drank in it, and the whole story began to officially unfold.
Dangdangdang...
BIU , BIU , BIU ……
Boom, boom, boom...
The endless magic weapons in the movie show various light and shadow and sound effects in the battle, and combined with the scenery like ink and water landscape paintings, the audience can't stop watching.
At this time, the three-hour original version of "Shushan" was screened, with a slower pace than the theater version, but it is more conducive to Western audiences to understand the movie, and it also has some literary and artistic colors of Eastern philosophy.
Especially with the Guzheng and the bamboo flute, Yu Yingnan, who went down the mountain for the first time, was a hero and righteous man. The battle with the little villain in the bamboo forest was so beautiful that it was pleasing to the eye.
The scene was filmed in Zhuhai, southern Shu, and was planned by Kang Jianfei and strongly asked Tsui Hark to add more.
Originally, Tsui Hark was quite resistant and thought the scene was irrelevant and occupied valuable time for the film, but after the final cut it proved that the bamboo forest battle added a lot of color to the film.
Three hours are extremely long for a movie. If it is a slow-paced art film, it can make the audience fall asleep.
But "Shushan" is not like this. Although most European and American audiences cannot understand the deep meaning of the plot, the beautiful pictures and the plot of fighting monsters are enough to make them happy to watch.
At the end of the film, Yu Yingnan and Li Yingqiong defeated the villain Deng Yin with the help of everyone. They carried long swords on their backs, stepped on the flying boat, walked through the rolling clouds, and headed towards the sunset in the sky.
Slap sex...
The audience burst into applause, which lasted for several minutes.
"Oriental Fantasy Invasion of Venice"
"Shushan premiere won hotly, and the applause lasted for five minutes"
"Flying Sword Replaces Broomstick, Incredible Oriental Magic"
《……》
The premiere of "Shushan" won praise in Venice, mainly because of its excellent special effects and the novel oriental fantasy world, which brought these foreigners a strong sense of freshness.
Of course, some people scolded the Venetian Film Festival judges for being degenerate, saying that they actually chose a commercial film with no meaning as the opening film, but this statement cannot cause much storm.
In the next half month, actors such as Li Saifeng and Zhao Yazhi followed Tsui Hark and his wife, running between the venues, attending some publicity activities everywhere, and sometimes accepting interviews from foreign media.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Ye Zhiming began to contact local issuers, but never signed a contract.
Because "Shushan" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, if you can win the award in the end, it will be extremely beneficial to the box office, and DreamWorks can also gain more benefits from publishers.
It was not until the end of September that Hong Kong had already completed the preliminary preparations for "A Chinese Ghost Story" before the Venice Film Festival ushered in the closing ceremony.
In the Movie Palace, the award presenter opened the envelope: What I want to announce is the special prize of the jury, which is "Tango, Gadell's Exile" directed by Fernando Solanas...
The special awards of the jury are not fixed awards. Sometimes they are awarded once every two or three years, and sometimes several trophies are awarded in one night. The main awards are for those movies that cannot win the Golden Lion Award and Silver Lion Award, but some judges especially like.
Tsui Hark is self-aware. Although he has expectations for the Golden Lion and the Silver Lion, he also knows that it is difficult to get the commercial film "Shushan", so his positioning was to win the special prize of the jury.
When Tsui Hark heard the award presenter read the co-production between Argentina and France, he felt cold and missed the only opportunity to know him.
Tang Shuxuan knew Tsui Hark’s thoughts and comforted him: Next time, there will be opportunities in the future.
Shi Nansheng also quietly held her husband's hand and silently gave Tsui Hark support. She thought that after "Shushan" was selected as the opening film, she had a great hope of winning the jury's special award.
I'm fine.Tsui Hark exhaled a slutty breath and said with a forced smile.
For Tsui Hark, the time after that was almost like a year, and he just wanted to finish his life and go back to the hotel to sleep early.
Amid endless applause, the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress were settled, and the awards ceremony began to enter the highlight of tonight.
The winner of the 42nd Best Picture Silver Lion Award was Tsui Hark from Hong Kong.
Tang Shuxuan was so shocked that she sat upright. Shi Nansheng was stunned for a moment and turned to look at his husband, while Tsui Hark himself seemed to have not heard it.
Lao Xu, "Shushan" won the award!Shi Nansheng pushed Tsui Hark violently.
Tsui Hark then realized, smiled and hugged the people around him, and joked: I thought I had heard it wrong.
The Golden Lion Award for Venice Film is positioned as the best film every year, while the Silver Lion Award is much more flexible. It can be awarded to a distinctive film, or a good director's debut, or even awarded for its unique directorial techniques.
The applause at the scene became warm again. Many people knew when "Shushan" was selected for the opening film that this movie would most likely win awards at the Venice Film Festival.
But they were the same as Tsui Hark’s expectations, and they also believed that “Shushan” won at most one special prize on the jury. Unexpectedly, the jury actually awarded a Silver Lion Award to “Shushan”.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Ye Zhiming also laughed happily. "Shushan" won a Silver Lion Award, and they became much richer when they negotiated with the publisher.
Thanks to the judges of the Venice Film Festival, Tsui Hark took over the Silver Lion Trophy and said in his arms that there were too many surprises for me this trip to Venice."Shushan" was a big wake-up call, but unexpectedly, the more exciting one was still there.I must thank all the colleagues in the crew of "Shushan" for my parents and friends, and I also want to thank my wife Shi Nansheng, who has always encouraged me and helped me complete this movie.Finally, I want to thank my boss Mr. Kang Jianfei. This video is a super big investment in Hong Kong, and I also stopped filming and denied the previous script. It was Mr. Kang who gave me financial support to enable this movie to finally be released. Thank you Mr. Kang!
After the award ceremony, Tsui Hark and all members of the crew of "Shushan" became the focus of media attention.
There is no way, "Shushan" won the second largest award at the Venice Film Festival, and it was the opening film, so it was not enough to be low-key.
So, everyone who planned to return to Hong Kong early had to stay in Venice for a few more days.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Ye Zhiming have also become the targets of many publishers, spending time in foreign countries tired and happy in bargaining.
If you can win the Venetian Film Silver Lion Award, more importantly, this movie is still a commercial blockbuster with great visual impact. It would be strange if those wise and quick publishers don’t steal the head!
In the ethereal and magical music, a little boy rides on a boat-shaped moon, the angler in the water.
