The three major film festivals in Europe were like holy places before the Chinese market took off.

After getting up, I didn't take it very seriously, as you can see from the participants: in 2010, Fan Xiaopang was still wrapped in a dragon robe to compete on the red carpet, and in 2019, even Internet celebrities can go to rub it.

The Venice Film Festival is known as one of the most artistic, but in fact, it means the most boring.

This year's 51st edition is set against the backdrop of the 1994 Film Fantasy Year, and there is a tide of good films as usual.

Chinese-speaking forces have attracted attention, such as Taiwan's Cai Mingliang's "Long Live Love", Hong Kong's Sunglasses King's "East Evil and West Poison", and the mainland's Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day".

Historically, the film was disbanded on the spot after filming.

Xia Yu went back to Qingdao to study, but Lao Jiang didn't plan at all, so he went to Venice in an emergency. When I found Xia Yu, there was only a week before the award ceremony, and I didn't have time to get a passport, so I didn't go.

Later, a reporter told him that he had won the award, and the school also issued him a "special student certificate".

Now, Mr. Xu said that he would look at the time, but in fact, he decided to go to Venice early and started to apply for a passport a few months in advance. So there were nine of them, plus Yu Jiajia and a stylist.

as well as Dou Shoufang and the interpreter and other entourage.

This year, going abroad to participate in the exhibition was a political event, and it was agreed by the Department of Radio, Television and Foreign Affairs, accompanied by relevant leaders.

"Your hair is too dry, use some good shampoo...... Don't move, I'll fix it for you. ”

In the hotel, the stylist gave Xia Yu a look at it and changed into a custom suit and bright leather shoes.

Xu Fei looked at it and pointed: "You don't usually need to be too formal. Change into jeans, wear a shirt on top, and look like a dirt bun in a suit. ”

"Hehe, I feel awkward too. ”

Xia Yu grinned, unable to hide his excitement and nervousness.

It's the first time I've been abroad!

After changing into casual clothes, Yu Jiajia asked him and Jiang Wen to stand on the terrace and take pictures.

She is now terrible, "Alive" exclusive material, one of which has a photo that has been widely circulated: Cannes beach, open-air café, Ge You holding a certificate to the side of the camera, with the moon behind and the sea next to him.

"Why don't you just go to a film festival, you, trouble!"

Old ginger was impatient.

"The publicity needs to be good or not, cooperate with it. ”

Xu Fei said bluntly: "The three major European platforms are very effective promotion platforms, I will lead it this time, and you may come by yourself next time." You come by yourself, you can't stand it if you take a few photos, what else are you promoting?"

Belch!

Xia Yu was secretly speechless, the first time he saw someone talking to the director like this.

In fact, Jiang Wen is not stupid, from shooting to submitting for review, to going abroad to participate in exhibitions, this series understands a lot, and it is not so easy to make movies. It's just a matter of character, and I hate this kind of thing.

After taking the photo, Xu Fei took the schedule and looked through it.

""The Rainstorm is Coming", "Natural Murderer", "East Evil and West Poison", this session is good!"

He drew a few circles, and suddenly thought of something, "Hey, old Jiang, do you know English?"

"Learned. ”

"Can you read a movie?"

"Even Meng guessed. ”

"That's okay, let's go take a look. ”

As he spoke, Dou Shoufang came in.

"Are you free? Come with me to meet the Hong Kong compatriots. ”

"What about Taiwan?"

"How can you see it nowadays when you're so sensitive?"

The well-mm-huh incident has caused extremely tense cross-strait relations.

......

Sunglasses King, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, Liang Chaowei, this is the lineup of "East Evil and West Poison".

It is not surprising to them that during the difficult period of communication between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, the international film festival has become a chat platform. Of course, Dou Shoufang was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that there was a Taiwanese here.

Jiang Wen's fame has not yet spread, and Xu Fei doesn't know it, and the two sides have politely greeted each other.

Teacher Xu only stared at Zhang Manyu, who was just 30 years old, far from the skinny anorexia of later generations, and there was a bit of purity and taste in maturity.

"I heard that Miss Zhang announced her retirement?"

"Uh, yes. ”

"It's a shame, when an actor is at his best, I really wish I could see your work. ”

“......”

Zhang Manyu is inexplicable, and Mandarin is not good, "This, the reason is ......"

After holding back for a few seconds, he subconsciously said something in English, and was about to apologize, but the other party quickly replied.

After sitting for a while, everyone took their leave. Lin Qingxia was curious and asked, "What did you just say?"

"He wants to cooperate. ”

Zhang Manyu shrugged, feeling that he was a very strange guy.

............

Many crews are very economical when they go to the three major ones, and they eat instant noodles in their rooms.

Xia Yu was lucky, and with the strong support of the capitalists, he spread out to play in Venice. Everyone loves to enjoy it, and Lao Jiang also awkwardly shouted that it was really fragrant.

In the next few days, the daughters-in-law went to play by themselves, and Xu Fei and Jiang Wen watched movies everywhere.

Lao Jiang's evaluation is very objective, rhythm, picture, music, these things are indeed insufficient in China, but in terms of ideology, Europe and the United States are the same.

It's really not crazy.

In the eighties and nineties, a large number of films with a high degree of ideology were produced in China, and the themes were wide and the scale was amazing.

For example, "Back-to-Back Face-to-Face", which was also released this year, focuses on the selection of a cultural center director and department-level cadre, with intrigues, exquisite and clear human feelings, and all kinds of endless officialdom ugliness.

This is called realism.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 9th, morning.

Teacher Xu slept steadily until dawn, got up and took a look, all of them were successful in cultivating immortals, and they were listless.

"What are you doing? Can you pick up customers in this state?"

"Xiao Li, quickly put on makeup, cover up the dark circles under your eyes. ”

After some scrutiny, Xia Yu felt that it was a formal occasion, and he wanted to wear a suit, but he was slapped by Xu Fei, and changed his jeans aggrievedly.

After breakfast, head straight to the theater.

The venue is small and can accommodate several hundred people. Xu Fei led Jiang Wen to run up and watched the projectionist stuff an Italian copy into it.

The general version is in English.

The relevant person in charge hurriedly apologized, and Lao Jiang learned again, he really had to stare at it!

The audience sat for a while, and the judges appeared. The chairman is David Lynch, who has filmed "Mulholland Drive" and "The Elephant Man".

The rest is more familiar with Uma Thurman, the heroine of "Vulgar" and "Kill Bill".

"Whoa!"

In the applause, the judges were seated in the front row, and Xu Fei waited in the second row.

The host came to the stage and said: "Good morning, everyone, today we are enjoying a film from China, which is the director's Virgo.

When the film was submitted to the film festival, we were all amazed that it was completely different from the previous impression of Chinese films, and it was a new spirit and technique.

We feel the genius of the director, let's enjoy it together. ”

"Ahem!"

Jiang Wen coughed twice unconsciously, and there seemed to be an extra thorn under his buttocks, and he moved unconsciously. Needless to say, the significance of this film is finally officially unveiled at this moment.

The lights dimmed and the screen lit up.

With a pitch-black background, a list of production staff appeared, followed by a melodious and slightly sad music, accompanied by Jiang Wen's low monologue.

"Beijing, it has become so fast, I can hardly find anything in my memory......"

"My stories always take place in the summer, when it seems like it's always summer, and the sun always comes out to accompany me, and the sun is so bright that it makes it dark in front of me. ”

The monologue stopped, the music stopped, and the title came out on the screen:

"Sunny Day"
