現(xiàn)在人們習(xí)慣把馮小剛、張藝謀和陳凱歌看成中國(guó)最成功的三位導(dǎo)演。相比于張、陳，《夜宴》作為馮小剛第一部邁向國(guó)際市場(chǎng)的作品，似乎來(lái)得晚了些。7月27日，馮小剛導(dǎo)演的新片《夜宴》正式收到了來(lái)自第63屆威尼斯國(guó)際電影節(jié)的邀請(qǐng)，并確定9月3日在威尼斯電影節(jié)上，舉行這部熱門(mén)影片的全球首映。當(dāng)然，由章子怡飾演的婉后則被推崇為《夜宴》的靈魂。 |

| Zhang Ziyi in "The
Banquet" |
Chinese director Feng Xiaogang's martial arts epic
"The Banquet," starring "Memoirs of a Geisha" actress Zhang Ziyi, will
have its world premiere at this year's Venice Film Festival on Sept.
3.
It will be the first full-length showing of the film after last year's
promotion in Berlin, Cannes and the United States, Wang Yang, spokeswoman
for Huayi Brothers Film Investment Co. Ltd., China's biggest private film
maker, told Xinhua Wednesday.
Feng and actors Zhang Ziyi, Ge You and Zhou Xun will promote the film
at the festival, she said.
The 20-million-U.S.-dollar film, coproduced by Huayi Brothers and the
Hong Kong Media Asia Films Company, will be released across Asia on Sept.
15.
Set during the tumultuous Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period
(907-979), "The Banquet" recounts the tragedy of an empress, played by
Zhang Ziyi, who is destroyed in a struggle for power inside the palace,
Feng said.
The 130-minute movie was composed by Oscar
winner Tan Dun and choreographed by Yuen Wo-Ping, both
acclaimed for the Oscar winner "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
It represents a major change of style for Feng, one of the most
bankable Chinese film directors, who has shot modern comic movies like
"Big Shot's Funeral,"
"Cell Phone" and
"A World Without Thieves ."
The movie's distribution rights in the United Kingdom, France and Spain
have been sold, according Wang.
