Chapter 712 Extra: I am an Actor: The King of Venice (Subscription Request)
The sponsors invited many celebrities.
Most people are familiar with Huang Kevin, after all, he is not undeservedly called the Medal King.
If you want to attend the premiere, you won’t be able to get in without some fame.
As for Italian actors, they can even buy premiere tickets with their own money.
You can show your face here and meet many top Italian directors. It's worth the money if you can be remembered by a director.
"Congratulations, Kevin!"
Roberto Goizueta, former CEO of Coca-Cola, walked up and said with a smile.
"Congratulations! Last year, Coca-Cola was the most valuable company in the United States."
Kevin Huang joked.
The old man once said that Coca-Cola would become the most valuable company in the United States in 2020, but in 2020, all the companies at the top were technology companies, with Apple ranking first.
Roberto Goizueta coughed twice and said, "One, one."
Although Kevin Huang has always been the spokesperson for Pepsi, Coca-Cola has not given up.
Are there any eternal enemies for capitalists?
Seeing Beatrice, Kevin Huang and the eldest lady came over and asked with a smile, "Where's Ricardo?"
Beatrice rolled her eyes and almost raised her middle finger.
How many children don’t know what’s going on in his home?
The eldest lady smiled and pulled Beatrice over and said, "Let's go. Don't pay any attention to this guy."
Kevin Huang shrugged and stood there.
Huang Kevin, who was strolling in the lobby, saw Abu and quickly went over to give him a bear hug and said, "Thank you for the aircraft carrier."
"They are all minor matters. There is no point in Russia keeping them."
Abu asked curiously, "Are you planning to connect with Italy or China?"
"No, prepare to blow up in the movie."
Huang Kevin quickly shook his head and said.
Who the hell dares to use the Russian aircraft carrier?
India picked up the ship for free, and then spent $30 billion on repairs.
Huang Kaiwen suspected that the 2000 million would not satisfy their appetite at all.
Fortunately, this aircraft carrier only needs to be refurbished before being blown up.
"That's a shame. I want to see the Kuznetsov restored to its former glory."
Abu shook his head and said.
It was almost time before Kevin Huang entered the venue.
Galliani immediately posted: "Regarding the awards, the three major European awards are all exclusive. Cannes requires that the films be selected from the competition units of other film festivals. However, we can send them to Cannes first and ask Venice to change the rules."
"never mind."
Huang Kevin shook his head and said, "There is no need to do this. It will cause dissatisfaction among many directors and actors, and it will also reduce the value of the Venice Film Festival."
“So which film festival are we attending?”
"The Venice Film Festival is coming soon, have you signed up?"
"I've registered in advance, so if you don't want to go, just let me know."
"Venice."
Huang Kevin said.
At this time, the lights in the theater dimmed.
Galliani shut up.
The big screen lit up.
Kevin Huang plays football in prison wearing prison uniform.
Italian officials came to visit and asked him to work for the Italian government for 5 years, and he could be free. Huang Kaiwen agreed.
Then the Italian officials asked him to go to the Americans and retrieve a piece of ancient Roman art.
The scene changed and Kevin Huang had sneaked into the US Embassy in Italy.
Through superb skills, and the support of his teammates, he easily stole the artwork.
Inzaghi pointed to the screen and said: "See, that's me."
He made a cameo appearance as an agent in the movie and only had a brief scene showing his face.
Angela Robusti patted her husband's hand and said, "If you want to develop in the film and television industry, you should retire in Milan."
It's rare for him to still be playing for Milan at the age of 47.
She suspects Inzaghi will remain on the Milan bench until retirement.
"I'll think about this matter again. After all, I only got a five-year contract." Inzaghi said perfunctorily.
The older he gets, the less willing he is to change.
It's pretty good to be able to stay in the team all the time. Coach Wenger will give him vacation directly if there is something going on at home. It's not easy to find such an easy job with no performance requirements.
The majestic classical music sounded, making people think that Agent Kevin was going to attend a dance party.
But it is not like that.
What follows are all sharp and fast editing. Each event only takes a few seconds or tens of seconds, but it allows people to see that Kevin Huang is personally involved in it.
He jumped out of a plane, blew up a dam, fought for people's lives with a rapier, brought a truckload of munitions to suppress terrorists, and even saved an old lady who was forced to abdicate.
Even if it is not made clear, the audience can recognize who the owner of the fat old lady is when they see the villain using his pet dog to threaten him to abdicate and the Union Jack.
Save the Queen!
I wonder if the British would be happy to see such a plot.
The scene changes again, and Agent Kevin has returned his license to kill, received his pension, and bought a small house in Milan.
The audience then came to their senses and started discussing the scene.
“Kevin is so handsome!”
“And it was very natural.”
"Yeah, it feels like Kevin is an agent."
"These shots look really dangerous. No wonder the insurance companies are protesting."
"It should be edited. I think a body double will be used. Kevin has so much money, why would he risk his life?"
Ramos frowned and looked ahead. Damn, are you thinking of treason?
Kiara quickly squeezed her boyfriend's hand.
Although Ramos's beating is not illegal, it is also troublesome.
Ramos continued to watch.
Huang Kevin, who has returned to a peaceful life, is no different from an ordinary person.
No, not even as good as ordinary people.
I go for a regular morning run every day, cook for myself, and spend the rest of the time either painting or doing some sports.
But Ramos keenly discovered a problem.
Even though Huang Kaiwen participated in a lot of sports, he lacked the necessary social interaction.
When faced with other people's kindness, he always politely keeps his distance.
But in Huang Kaiwen's paintings, he shows unparalleled passion.
Ramos felt that this was a sign of a retired agent who longed for warmth but was also full of vigilance, yet was also afraid of bringing trouble to those around him.
"The Sistine Madonna expresses that the Madonna is both a god and a human being, and a mother. It also implies that the agents are also human beings who want to live an ordinary life."
The whispers of the people around him caught Ramos' attention. Seeing that the other person was taking notes in a notebook, Ramos immediately thought of an almost extinct profession - film critic, which inevitably distracted him.
"The light has changed, which proves that passion is about to appear in the dull life. Catherine and Mary, mother and daughter, are they referring to Henry VIII's wife and daughter..."
Ramos nodded, not expecting that there was such a saying in the name.
Kevin and Catherine, mother and daughter, often meet each other. Catherine and the little girl Mary always greet Agent Kevin warmly, but Kevin is very cold and doesn't respond.
This caused Catherine to have a bad impression of him.
Little Mary, however, thought he was not a bad person.
The first contradiction was born.
Little Mary left school early, and her mother didn't know about it, so she could only wait for her mother to come back in the heavy rain.
Kevin couldn't bear it and invited Mary to his house to take shelter from the rain. When Catherine came back and saw Mary had changed her clothes, she misunderstood.
"Lily Collins's emotional expression is too direct and crude, and her emotions are completely superficial. The level of her first performance can only be described as average, but both Kevin and McKenna Grace are much better than her in acting. Both are commercial films, both are mothers, but she is far less impressive than Sarah Connor in The Terminator."
But Lily did a great job in the sweet moments after the misunderstanding was resolved.
After all, this only requires acting in your true colors.
Until the second turning point came.
Little Mary was kidnapped.
Catherine cried heart-wrenchingly.
Kevin's face was full of struggle.
The desire for a peaceful life, the hatred for people who disturb his life, the annoyance of not getting what he wants, and the worry about Mary.
In the end, all his expressions turned into determination. He said a few words to Catherine and rushed out of the house in his high-tech modified Alfa Romeo.
The eldest lady whispered, "I didn't expect Lily to act so well."
“This scene took a week to shoot.”
Huang Kevin glanced at Lily and whispered, "The director is going crazy, and so am I."
Unexpectedly, even though I spoke so quietly, Lily still heard it, and she punched Huang Kevin on the arm.
The eldest lady looked as if she was enjoying a good show.
With the help of his old colleague (Inzaghi), Kevin Huang took a truck of arms and embarked on a journey to find Mary.
It was just a traffic jam, and the driver of the car behind provoked him, so Huang Kevin taught him a lesson.
“Wonderful! After his life fell apart, the beast in his heart was released. Kevin’s performance was really wonderful. If Mary hadn’t been kidnapped, it would have been like schizophrenia, and he would have been a completely different person. However, from an elegant agent to his ordinary self, to finding the true meaning of life, and finally becoming an Avenger, the transformation along the way was explained clearly and reasonably. Just by looking at his eyes, you can feel Kevin’s danger.”
Ramos nodded frequently, thinking that this film critic was of quite good level.
The plot then reaches a climax.
The audience exclaimed continuously.
Huang Kevin, who picked up the gun again, was clean and efficient. He tracked down clues all the way and would not let the bad guys go every time he got a clue, which made the audience very excited.
They have had enough of Hollywood-style brainless protagonists who are soft-hearted at critical moments and bring themselves into a lot of trouble.
There are even more exciting car chase scenes, as well as cool sports cars wiping out a small gang, various real shots, and Fiat alone has produced quite a lot of cars and empty shells to explode, with the main focus on a big scene.
Next, he chased him from the road to the river.
The other party fled on a boat, and Agent Kevin chased after him by rappelling with a rope.
The other party changed to a helicopter, so he stole a jet and gave chase.
The scene of jumping from a small plane to a helicopter had been edited before. Kevin Wong wanted to actually shoot the jump, but the crew didn't dare to do so.
The lively scene made many people forget the snacks in their hands.
Kevin Wong slaughtered the villains in various ways, using whatever he had in his hands. In the end, he ran to the villain's lair alone, carrying a bag of weapons and wiping out the Albanian gang, which made the audience scream with excitement.
Especially the scene with Mads Mikkelsen, the two of them created the biggest climax since the beginning of the movie.
The audience saw a fierce villain being tortured and then killed by Kevin Huang, without giving his opponent any chance at all. There was huge applause and cheers in the theater.
They were previously portrayed as being too evil, and what they did was almost as bad as what the United States did. It feels more refreshing to see them physically disappear now.
Including Italy, there are girls abducted from Eastern Europe.
However, it is still mainly concentrated in Germany and the Netherlands, and the current exporting countries are mainly Berbatov's homeland Bulgaria, and Ukraine will be added in the future.
Among the buyers, there are actors from the Netherlands and Germany, and this is also an attempt by the old literary youth to satirize the hypocrites of these two countries.
They mock Italy's conservatism while doing the dirtiest things.
At this time, almost no one in the theater was talking.
The compact plot makes people dare not take their eyes off the screen.
"'500 Miles', I guess it won't be long before this song becomes a big hit again. The American singer who changes boyfriends frequently might be targeting Kevin."
Ramos pouted.
I like Kevin a lot.
Kevin, who was resting in Sardinia, had a big meal. After the meal, he went to the beach to observe the deployment of warships and returned to the hotel to check the weapons. All of this indicated that a big war was about to begin.
Even Ramos, who knew the plot, couldn't help but get nervous.
The flesh and blood bodies and the steel battleships formed a sharp contrast. What Huang Kevin is going to face next is the regular army with the highest military expenditure in the world.
The exciting soundtrack sounded.
Kevin Huang's various tricks on the speedboat make people smile.
Next, he boarded the warship, and while the American soldiers were still in a daze, he turned into a killing god.
After killing many people along the way, Kevin Huang finally met the highest officer on the ship, Colonel Smith, played by William Dafoe.
Colonel Smith was completely terrified, and without his soldiers, he had given up the struggle.
The conversation between the two is also quite interesting? "Superhero?"
"No, Agent."
"MI6 or KGB, why?"
"No reason, you touched someone you shouldn't have touched."
"Who, which one, I can release. If you kill me, the U.S. government will not let you go."
"Ha." Agent Kevin said disdainfully: "Only death can wash away sins!"
Gunshots rang out and Colonel Smith also received his lunch box.
Kevin Huang rescued the children and planted a bomb on the boat.
boom--
With an explosion, Kevin Huang carried Mary away without looking back.
The scene finally returned to calm.
clap clap-
There was warm applause in the theater. Ramos jumped up and clapped vigorously. Even though this was not Kevin Huang's movie, he still enjoyed watching it very much.
All kinds of big scenes made his adrenaline rush.
Clean and neat, implementing the principle of eradicating all evil, leaving no chance for the villains at all.
Ramos has decided that he will watch it ten times first.
At this time, the screen lit up again, and Agent Kevin returned to his peaceful life again. It was completely hard to tell that he had just killed a group of American soldiers and wiped out a gangster.
Mary in his arms called out "Mom" and ran over to Catherine's arms.
At this point, the film ends completely.
The lights in the theater came on, but many audience members were still sitting there, reminiscing about the movie they had just watched.
Ramos also saw clearly the critic next to him. The other person had a Mediterranean hairstyle and looked like a literary and artistic worker.
Even though the weather was very hot, he still obediently tied his linen shirt to the top, which was consistent with his understanding of an artist.
The other party didn't notice Ramos's gaze at all, and was still recording to himself: "No wonder they are called Catherine and Mary, because her marriage to Henry VIII caused Henry VIII to leave the Roman Church, so Kevin said that he hoped God could forgive me... This line design is really like Tornatore's style, and the last warm scene also completely explains everything. Anything done for the family can be forgiven. However, as a retired agent, he did such a big thing in Italy, and his future life may not be so peaceful. This is the foreshadowing left for the sequel.
As a commercial film, it is quite successful. Kevin and the two villains' acting skills have elevated the film to a higher level."
……
The Space Cinese Odeon.
Warm applause broke out.
The film was far more exciting than the audience expected, and the performances were also outstanding.
Several main creators came on stage together to thank the audience for their support.
Applause started again.
William Dafoe whispered, "It's too enthusiastic. It's hard to handle."
"Let me perform a magic trick."
Huang Kevin said.
Willem Dafoe asks, "What magic?"
Kevin Huang did not answer, but took the microphone and said: "I am going to perform a magic trick as the last part of today. First, let our Colonel Smith hand over the wallet to me."
The audience started to make a noise, and Dafoe had no choice but to hand the wallet to Kevin Huang.
Huang Kevin clapped his hands and the wallet disappeared.
Boom—the atmosphere in the theater reached its peak again.
Huang Kaiwen watched the magicians bow in thanks.
Dafoe whispered, "Come on, give me my wallet back."
"What wallet? I don't know."
After being stunned for a few seconds, Dafoe looked at Kevin Huang's back and cursed: "At least give me back my credit card and driver's license, bastard!"
……
crazy!
Italy's single-day box office was $980 million.
"Avengers 4" grossed $270 million in Italy in a single day.
Considering Italy's economic and demographic situation, and the fact that many people can't buy tickets, this movie's popularity completely crushes Marvel's superheroes.
The next day, the film grossed $1800 million in the UK on its first day, which was twice as much as "Avengers 4".
Mexico took in $1400 million on its first day.
The film grossed $700 million on the first day in Russia, setting a record for the highest box office for a Russian film or TV series.
The Russians are finally no longer the villains in European and American blockbusters.
Even in Taiwan, it earned NT$9817.8 million, NT$4 million more than "Avengers 1800".
It earned 4100 million reais in Brazil, with more than 200 million people watching the film on the first day across the country. The hit was still "Avengers 4."
Even in the United States, which is known as a football desert, it earned $3100 million on the first day and is expected to exceed $8000 million over the weekend.
Not to mention in China, there is Kevin's Tea and various activities of sponsors, which are aimed at creating box office records from the beginning.
Kevin Wong thinks his movie is more interesting than a remake of a fat man boxing.
Huang Qiuwang should be able to become a domestic billionaire actor after releasing two films.
The situation is even crazier in Japan. Because of the popularity of the movie, there are obviously more middle school students working part-time, and many middle-aged women also go to brothels to take orders anonymously.
Even though the number of screenings continues to increase, movie tickets for mainstream cinemas are still difficult to buy.
Apart from anything else, Liben’s fans are really fucking easy to cut off.
Huang Qiuwang doesn't get married. No matter how many girlfriends Huang Qiuwang has, they don't care. Instead, they think they may have a chance to become one of his girlfriends in the future.
The most important thing is that Huang Qiuwang’s movies have a very good reputation.
The football world was almost unanimously cheering for him, and many people even advised the King of Football to concentrate on his career as an actor.
The currently popular movies "Black Widow", "Wonder Woman 2" and "Fast & Furious 9" have all been affected, but the impact has not been felt in North America yet.
However, South America, Europe, Asia, and even Africa have all seen a precipitous decline. There is not a single player who can compete in the entire schedule. The power of the screen debut of the No. 1 player in the history of the sport far exceeds that of Big Ivan.
"Top Gun 2: Maverick" scared Tom Cruise and announced that it would change its release date.
The big ship of 98 was long-lasting and stable, and Kevin Wong's "The Black Panther" showed a momentum of swallowing everything from the very beginning.
Driven by sponsors, it seems as if there is only one movie this year, and there is no promotion for other movies at all.
If anyone speaks out and says something bad, even if the fans let him off, the sponsors won't let them off.
Red Bull alone has invested 2.5 million yuan, and they are just waiting to reap the rewards.
Whoever stands in their way is their enemy.
I wonder what the Chinese American who starred in the flopped version of "Mulan" would think.
Kevin Huang directly proved that it’s not that the yellow race lacks box office influence, but that none of these 85 flowers can compete.
"The box office forecast has been raised again. According to estimates by professional organizations, it is certain that Kevin's movie will surpass Avengers 4. The Chinese and Japanese markets alone have already exceeded $14 billion, and the movie is still in theaters. The final box office may be fixed at a number that we can hardly imagine."
The Times: "Kevin's popularity is undoubted. We can take pictures of Premier League players watching movies every day. They also have a very good evaluation of this spy movie. Kevin's success seems to have made the players see another possibility. Maybe they think they can become the next Kevin."
Bild: "We have no doubt that Italian agents will replace 007 and become synonymous with agents in the future."
Le Parisien: "Famous director Leo Carax said that making commercial films would be a waste of Kevin's talent. The New Wave director hopes Kevin can pursue more artistically."
Volkskrant: "Kevin rips off the fig leaf in Amsterdam where Bulgarian girls are being lured to work abroad and sold into the red-light district."
Komsomolskaya Pravda: "In Hollywood movies, the villains are generally Russians. Kevin used his courage to fight back against the hegemony of the United States and exposed the truth of this world. The biggest evil forces in the world are the Americans and their allies!"
Folha de São Paulo: "Some mafia organizations showed The Black Panther in the favelas, which affected the box office to a certain extent. However, when we interviewed Kevin over the phone, Kevin generously said that he didn't care about the box office gains and losses, as long as he could bring joy to the teenagers in the favelas."
With the global box office heading towards $30 billion, Galliani suddenly became the busiest man in the world.
This screen debut completely proved Kevin Huang's personal appeal, and the manufacturers were eager to renew the contract.
The Germans were even willing to offer an absurdly high lifetime contract.
Even though they developed a personal brand with Kevin Huang, they were still afraid of being poached by the Americans.
Even Inzaghi, his former colleague, has taken on a lot of endorsements.
As of September, some cinemas were still showing "The Golden Circle", and the box office of the movie had exceeded 9 billion US dollars, directly raising the global box office record by one third.
As long as Kevin Huang nods, there will be countless scripts for him to choose from.
The Venice Film Festival is divided into the main competition unit and the Horizon unit.
The Horizon unit is mainly aimed at young directors.
"The Secret Service: The Beginning" has registered for the main competition unit.
The president of the jury for the main competition unit was originally Cate Blanchett, but for some reasons, she was replaced by the famous Italian actress Monica Bellucci by the organizing committee.
Together with British director Joanna Hogg, Italian writer Nicola La Gioia and French actor Ludivine Seigner, half of the eight members of the jury are acquaintances of Kevin Wong.
Venice Lido Island.
Kevin Huang had already thrown his coat to Galliani and was sitting at the entrance of the theater drinking a cold drink.
The weather in Italy this year is hotter than usual.
"The organizing committee's intention is to give as many films as possible opportunities," Galliani said.
"What do you mean?"
Huang Kevin asked.
"I think Ms. Collins deserves the Best Actress award. We also deserve the Best Supporting Actor and Best Director awards. As for the Best Actor award, the whole world recognizes your acting skills. This is the perfect balance between business and art. If it is not given to you, then someone is behind this. We must investigate it thoroughly."
Galliani said quickly.
"I think so too. Film festivals can't always divide the pie." Huang Kaiwen said while biting a straw, "You see, Oscars often have films winning multiple awards, and the Italians are still dividing the pie to show fairness. This is outdated."
"Yep!"
Galliani, who was squatting there with Huang Kevin, nodded vigorously.
Kevin Huang saw many Asian faces.
Although the influence of the three major European awards is declining day by day, they are still very important to Asian film practitioners, who often go to great lengths to get on the red carpet.
I heard that Hideo Kojima is here too.
Kevin Huang just wanted to ask the Japanese when the new Metal Gear Solid game would be released.
"Let's go back first. If we don't go back now, Lily will be waiting anxiously. Let's see how her dress is prepared."
Huang Kaiwen stood up and said.
Galliani finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If he squats any further, his old bones will die.
Several plainclothes policemen in Venice signaled to each other and followed.
This time the director has issued a strict order that anything can happen during the film festival, but Huang Kevin's safety must be guaranteed.
Asking for monthly ticket recommendations
