In early July, Venice Film Festival chairman Barbera told the media in public: "May is too early. For movies that want to judge awards in autumn and winter, it is not the right time to debut, but September is just right. So, we don't compete with Cannes. We should go to Cannes where we should go to Cannes, and those who should come to Venice where we should come to Venice. These are two production cycles."

There is a lot of information in the words.

History is always similar. Three years ago, Cannes, which was neglected, repaired its relationship with Hollywood. With the power of capital fueling, it became the film copyright trading center between Hollywood and Europe, and thus became the most influential film festival in Europe.

Venice, who has lived in the shadow of Cannes for many years, finally followed the footsteps of Cannes, and went to the same path with the same path, all taking advantage of Hollywood's trend.

In addition, for three consecutive years, the opening film of Venice was a sarcastic world in the following North American awards season. As a result, Hollywood producers defaulted to the starting point of the annual Oscar Rally to the Water City in Italy.

In fact, there are two films in the opening of this year's Venice Film Festival, "La La Land" and "The First Lady".

Although the various publicity of this Venice Film Festival is "the strongest in history" and "masters gather", the most movie tickets sold for all the films that were screened or released during the film festival is "The First Lady", which is the opening film. The average pre-sale of the ten screenings was nearly one-fifth.

In this era, such pre-sales are really low enough. If it weren't for Natalie Portman's strong fan appeal, it would probably not have such a "high" pre-sales.

It's incomparable to our Beijing Film Festival.

The Beijing Film Festival is sold out in 10 seconds!

Because of its good publicity, "La La Land" has barely reached one-seventh of the pre-sale.

There is no way, foreigners are really poor!

...

In Lido Island, in the Venetian Movie Palace, the screening of "La La Land" is approaching its end.

The audience at the scene was a little excited and could vaguely hear the woman's sob.

"…Is this so touched?"

Shen Lin looked at Dirire, who was bloating his nose hard, for some reason.

"Is it because my brain circuit is too long?"

Until the end of the film, Shen Lin only felt a little emotional, but most of the audience, including all the judges, had red eyes.

By the way, a film critic who was over 80 years old behind him was also in tears.

The big screen turned dark and the subtitles fell. Sam Mendes was the first to stand up from his seat and slapped his palms with the greatest strength. Even if the filming hurts, he never thought of stopping!

Then the eight members of the jury team around the chairman of the jury also stood up and applauded warmly, including our Zhao Junqi.

Standing ovations from everyone behind, including hundreds of journalists and ordinary audiences sitting in the back!

Shen Lin heard a tsunami-like applause from behind him, and was not surprised at all.

Originally in time and space, the reputation of "La La Land" was spread from the Venice Film Festival!

Zhao Junqi actually doesn’t like singing and dancing movies very much, it’s understandable.

Shen Lin couldn't appreciate the song and dance films. To be honest, he has always gotten the song and dance films. Every time he hears the actors singing inexplicably, he gets goose bumps all over the floor.

If it weren't for the fact that "La La Land" was so famous, he probably wouldn't have watched it repeatedly with a learning attitude, and then personally experienced the shooting in this life.

However, Zhao Junqi is definitely a little more woman than Chen Lin, and she was moved by this story.

The love in "La La Land" is simple, but it is also very realistic.

‘The love of an unfamous artist is unreliable!’

Robert De Niro once said: "There are three homes of movie actors in Los Angeles: the home of the ex-wife, the home of the current wife and the third home in Hollywood."

In fact, most artists in our country are like this. Even the young master Chen Lin, a man with kidney deficiency, has an ex and a wife. By the way, he also has a North American goddess-level body fluid exchange object and mistress...

Who doesn't have an ex?

The applause continued, and the momentum that had not subsided for several minutes.

This film may not be popular enough, not popcorn enough, but this is the Venice Film Festival, not the summer season.

Chen Lin and the main members of the crew also walked to the stage in front of the screen with applause.

"Thank you for your love for this movie. In fact, Damien Chazerre, another director of this movie, is the real protagonist. Because I had something to do on the fly, I only filmed the plot part. Most of the song and dance content was handled by him, including the script, and he directed it. However, because of this, he fell, so I led the crew to participate in this film festival."

After a few words, Chen Lin got off the stage. I was embarrassed to say too much. On the one hand, there was still a movie to be played later. On the other hand, five minutes later, there was a press conference, and Chen Lin took the crew members to attend.

...

Hundreds of journalists filled the huge news hall of the Venetian Film Palace. Almost all journalists who came to report on the Venetian Film Festival attended the press conference. Not only were the seats prepared by the organizers far insufficient, but even the aisles and corridors were filled with reporters.

Well, more than half of them are media in our country.

Although we have no works shortlisted for the main competition unit, we have some judges, and the key is that Da Linzi is still there, so of course we have to support it.

With public travel, the scenery in Italy is still good!

The questions asked by European media are quite normal, mostly focused on the movie itself, and rarely ask about privacy or something.

But we ourselves ask questions without any hesitation.

It's a hk media.

"Director Chen, I heard that Li Yitong and your company are employees. You brought them to the Venice Film Festival. Isn't it a bit of favoritism or fraud?"

"Water?"

Chen Lin signaled the reporter to ask again.

Of course he heard it clearly, but he was a little disbelief.

What's the thing?

“…”

The Phoenix News reporter had to repeat the question again.

"They act very well, and even drug addict artist Ke Zhendong can come to Venice. Why can't I bring them here?"

"…But they are just supporting roles, logically..."

"Please be more cautious and agree with the movie itself, thank you."

"Okay," the reporter thought for a while, and then asked: "Director Chen, what is your purpose in filming "La La Land"? Why don't you choose to orient it?"

"I think the choice of movies is universally acceptable. It is impossible for most orientals to dislike a classic Hollywood movie. On the contrary, because movies are art. Moreover, after getting this script, I did think about orientalizing it. However, considering that the way of singing and dancing films can better reflect its original flavor, I moved it out intact."
