Chapter 833: Brokeback Mountain

A small yacht slowly passed through the river in Venice and headed towards Lido Island. Along the way, there were many enthusiastic movie fans waving to the main creators of the crew on board.

Anne Hathaway pursed her lips into a line, stood beside Ronan, and kept waving in response.

Ang Lee, Jack Gillenhill, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams and others also stood on the deck and responded frequently to both sides of the shore.

"This is the first time I've been on a boat to attend the premiere," Anne Hathaway whispered to Ronan.

Ronan's voice was also low and he replied: "It's the first time I'm."

Anne Hathaway asked: "Can this film win the Golden Lion Award?"

"How do I know?" Luo Nan shrugged slightly: "Everything depends on what happened after the release."

The yacht was not fast, but it gradually approached Lido Island.

This small island is the traditional venue for the Venetian Film Festival.

Anne Hathaway's hair was a little messed up by the wind, and Ronan took the initiative to help her clean up.

Looking at Ronan's careful appearance, Anne Hathaway sighed softly. Ronan is always the best when they get along.

But Anne Hathaway knows, don't expect him to think about you when he is not in front of you.

"By the way, Ronan." Anne Hathaway quickly gave up these little thoughts. After all, the positioning of the two was very clear from the beginning: "I heard that Long Howard's daughter Bryce Howard will also participate in the heroine audition for "Alice in Wonderland"?"

Although she thought she had completely crushed Bryce Howard from appearance to acting and appeal, she did not have any confidence in winning when she learned that Bryce Howard had among her competitors.

In this circle, interpersonal relationships are sometimes more important than abilities.

Otherwise, Spielberg's godsons and goddaughters could make a relatively easy move?

Ronan understood Anne Hathaway's thoughts, gently squeezed her hand and said, "Prepare for the audition with peace of mind. This is my project. After all, the audition effect determines the candidate for the actor."

Anne Hathaway instantly calmed down: "I read the end of the script, Alice has some action scenes and a fight scene with a sword, and I plan to do some action training in advance."

"It's good." Luo Nan suddenly thought of Catwoman: "The road ahead will be wider and wider with diversified development."

Anne Hathaway nodded slightly: "Well, I'll listen to you."

Ronan was still very satisfied with Anne Hathaway and said, "There will be many film projects in the future for Relativity Entertainment. Anne, don't fall behind midway."

Anne Hathaway promised, "I will follow you." She leaned into Ronan's ear and whispered, "I have prepared some special things and wait for you in the room tonight."

Ronan smiled: "It's indeed my favorite Princess Anne."

The boat arrived at the dock, and the red carpet kept coming from the theater. Jack Gillenhill was the first to get off the boat, standing by the boat with a very gentlemanly manner, assisting the others to walk down.

Ronan asked Ang Lee to leave first: "You are the director, this is your movie premiere."

Ang Lee smiled and nodded, and took the lead in walking on the red carpet.

Although he suffered the failure of "The Hulk", Ang Lee is still quite famous in Europe. With the film type, both the audience and the media reporters are quite enthusiastic.

At European film festivals, the most popular ones are always the kind of films that tell taboo themes.

Jack Gillenhill walked on the red carpet alone, and the couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams followed hand in hand.

Then, Ronan and Anne Hathaway walked through the red carpet one after another.

Ronan saw members of this year's Venetian film-level judges in front of the theater.

The chairman of this session is from Italy, but it is Dante Ferreddy, a famous art director in Hollywood who is working hard in the United States.

His works include "Night Visit to Vampire", "Casino Storm", "New York Gangster", etc.

The latest work is "The Aviator" which Martin Scorsese failed at the Academy Awards ceremony this year.

This man has a close relationship with Martin Scorsese and has worked with him many times.

So, when Ronan shook hands with Dante Ferreddy, he specifically said: "I have heard director Scorsese mention you many times, saying that you failed to participate in the "Walking Walker" project, which is his biggest regret."

Dante Ferreddy knew that Martin Scorsese was working with Ronan and said, "I accepted the invitation from the Venice Film Festival first, and I really couldn't get away with it. Mr. Anderson, I'm very sorry to miss this collaboration."

Ronan said with a smile: "We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Dante Ferreddy said: "There will definitely be."

Although he started his film career in Italy, he has been working hard in Hollywood for nearly twenty years. Dante Ferreddy has long been assimilated by Hollywood and is more aware that Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, is now one of the top production companies in the Hollywood industry.

Ronan did not say anything to Dante Ferreddo anymore, and the reality was not allowed to say much.

Then, he shook hands with other judges one by one.

In other words, in such public occasions, you can get to the judges legitimately. The film festival stipulates that judges are not allowed to accept invitations from the film crew participating in the competition unit in private.

These judges are all innocent, and the only thing I remember is that Claire Dennis, one of Leonardo's past rumored girlfriends.

Of course, this is also an actress with long blonde legs and looks like a model.

At this time, Ronan met Ang Lee and entered the VIP room together, waiting for the entrance ceremony to pass the meeting.

"The publicity is almost the same, right?" Luo Nan asked.

Ang Lee said: "The European branch of the Embassy Film Industry has cooperated with the crew to do a lot of preparations. Whether the award can be won depends on luck."

Ronan said directly: "Our primary goal is the Golden Lion Award. I watched the internal preview of this film, which was really outstanding. As for the chairman of the jury, before the festival began, Martin Scorsese had a phone call with Dante Ferreddy because of his cooperation with me. He would not be embarrassed by the excellence of "Brokeback Mountain".

Ang Lee just smiled and nodded.

The selection of any award is relatively fair and will be affected by many off-site factors. For example, the chairman of the jury has a great say in the selection results of the three major European film festivals.

Similar to the Cannes Film Festival, if the chairman of the jury wants to promote a quality film to win awards, it can basically be achieved.

But most people cherish their feathers, and not everyone wants to care like the ruffian Quentin.

Ronan reminded: "No matter what the final result of the Venice Film Festival is, the North American awards season at the end of the year is our main battlefield, and all our work is to prepare for the end of the year."

Ang Lee understood what this said: "I will cooperate with you with all my strength if I need to do."

The failure of "The Hulk" has caused Ang Lee to suffer a lot of frustration, and Ang Lee wants to explode in the awards season at the end of the year.

Only he himself knows how much effort the film "Brokeback Mountain" has taken, and it is also his back-to-back battle in Hollywood!

Ronan could see Ang Lee’s thoughts and said, “Relax, this film is very excellent. In my opinion, Brokeback Mountain will leave its name in history.”

Ang Lee is confident in his video and knows that after Ronan has watched the preview, he has always been optimistic about "Brokeback Mountain", but he did not expect that Ronan's evaluation was so high.

When others say such words, Ang Lee will only treat them as a compliment, but Ronan, the gold medal producer, said so. Will the film really bring something different?

Ronan didn't say more. "Brokeback Mountain" is indeed excellent. Even people who hate homosexuals will find it difficult to get disgusted with the film itself after watching it.

Ang Lee's movie is really beautiful and very subtle.

There is a group in North America and even the world who need such a film very much, and Brokeback Mountain needs to speak out for them.

The voice of this movie is getting louder and louder, and it won't take long to become a group that can't be offended.

As long as they make some appropriate promotion, they will definitely put Brokeback Mountain on the altar.

Because of the movement of this group, a movie that is widely circulated is needed to speak for them and endorse them.

The equal rights movement across the United States is becoming more and more intense. Hollywood, a left-wing concentration camp, is bringing Hollywood to another extreme. "Brokeback Mountain" can be said to be a coincidence and meets the needs of the general environment.

The success of "Brokeback Mountain" was definitely not the success of the film itself, there were too many complex factors behind it.

Similarly, this film will also be criticized by many people, especially conservatives.

Luo Nan had already reminded Ang Lee, and Ang Lee was also mentally prepared.

Ang Lee went to discuss with the agent, and the couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams found Ronan's side.

"Hi, Ronan." Michelle Williams has worked with Shahai Entertainment for many years and is very familiar with Ronan: "I didn't expect you to come here in person."

Ronan said directly: "This "Brokeback Mountain" is an Oscar-seeded player prepared by Relativity Entertainment this year."

Michel Williams said deliberately: "So, I have the hope of getting an Oscar nomination?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "The plan is the best supporting actress. Whether you can get the nomination depends on your luck." He turned to Heath Ledger and said: "You can prepare more, and the crew will also apply for the best actor."

Heath Ledger said: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Anderson for your support."

Luo Nan resisted the urge to mention something again. After all, he had said it twice. There was no need to continue to get entangled. He just said slowly: "Your character is very outstanding."

Heath Ledger was confident: "I believe this will become a turning point in my career."

Michelle Williams quietly pulled him and interrupted: "Ronan, Heath will work with you next. He passed the audition for "The Dark Knight" director Nolan."

Ronan said: "I know, director Nolan has a very high opinion of Heath."
