Chapter 89: The film festival exhibition is famous
Valentina has feelings for him, Chu Shun knows, but he really doesn't fall in love so quickly, Valentina has more emotional worship.
There is a category of girls who are particularly talented, and Valentina belongs to this category.
Valentina said, "Chu, should we go to the film festival to have a look." ”
"If you want, no problem. Chu Shun said.
The two of them took a small boat and came to the Lido to go to the exhibition hall, there are so many tourists during the film festival, rubbing shoulders, if you have sharp eyes, it is easy to see the stars.
There are many in the exhibition hall, in fact, it is similar to the cinema, the number of popular award-winning films is more, and the main competition unit generally has 20 films shortlisted, and sometimes it may be 21, which is not fixed.
There are film critics and film companies in the corridor, and there are occasional security patrols, but this security guard is relatively idle, and his main job is to remind guests not to use their mobile phones to shoot.
Valentina looked at the various posters and didn't know what movie to watch for a moment.
"Betty", "Harvest Dress", "Adonijah" and so on, "Harvest Dress" is an ethical film, and "Adonijah" knows by looking at the name that it is a historical film, telling about King Solomon.
Suddenly, she saw the familiar poster, and Valentina asked, "Chu, I heard Mr. Liang say that the movie poster was also designed by yourself?"
"That's right, it's easy to make a poster. Chu Shun said.
There are two posters of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", one is a still of Marlena and Reinado looking back, both of them have one thing in common, their eyes are very confused.
At that time, Marlena couldn't play this kind of gaze several times, but Chu Shun thought of a way...... The story here is a bit long, tens of thousands of words, so let's not talk about it.
The other is the most classic, with Marlena wearing a floral dress, bending over and touching her ankles.
It's all European versions, in fact, Chu Shun wants to use the propaganda posters of the island country, which is really top.
"I like this one better, it feels more like an artistic story. Valentina pointed to the poster she was looking back at.
"Actually, this one has a story. Chu Shun took out his mobile phone and searched the map of Italy.
"You look at this map, and then you look at this poster," he said. ”
"Huh?" Valentina was a little puzzled at first, but after a closer look, she realized: "My movements are like Italy, I mean the actions I play in this poster are very similar to Italy." ”
Italy is in addition to the main island, and then Sicily is the ankle position, and Sardinia is the vision of Reinado, regardless of whether he designed this poster with this intention or not, anyway, Chu Shun did it on purpose, and also deliberately adjusted it according to the proportion.
"I don't think Malena's experience is like Italy in World War II. Talking about the connotation of the movie, Chu Shun, the son of the system and the film understander, said that he could play five.
"The same is true of the Italian people in the Second World War, to be precise, in the war ordinary people all over the world are the same, there is no choice. ”
Chu Shun said: "Let me tell you a little story, in the past, my relative's children came to my house to play, I was reading, he asked me what books I was reading, I replied "War and Peace", and then he said whether it was a book about war, I subconsciously replied, the main thing is not war, it is peace. ”
"I laughed to myself, he was young, he didn't understand this, but other adults should understand. Chu Shun said.
Valentina felt from the first meeting that Chu Shun really knew too much, and her thoughts were completely different, although she had never filmed before, she had also met the director, and she didn't give her this feeling at all.
No wonder when she shot the poster before, she deliberately asked her to adjust her movements, and she only thought it was strange at the time, because as a model, the posing is professional, and she didn't think the action was beautiful, so it was.
"That's it, Chu you said it's easy to make a poster?" Valentina really couldn't think of a poster that she thought had no story to do, but actually hid so many things.
"It's very simple, I designed it casually. Chu Shun replied lightly.
Valentina felt the contempt from her intelligence and decided to change the subject, she asked, "Chu, should we watch "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"?"
Chu Shun wondered: "Why do you want to watch the movie I made myself, I know the plot." ”
"Because you can look at the feedback from the critics. Valentina replied.
"No, I have faith in my films. "Chu Shun has great confidence in Tornatore and Morricone, which is about the same as confidence in himself.
"Watching Betty," I heard that this movie would be our biggest rival. Chu Shun chosen.
The director of "Betty", Odia, is the world's most famous Italian director, and has already had a Venice Film Festival for Best Director.
"Listen to Chu. ”
The two progress into the hall, "Betty" is the name of the heroine of the story, this movie is about Betty's three periods, girl, mature woman, and old age, the overall tone of the movie is very gloomy.
Coincidentally, Odia's arrival in the exhibition hall of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" today coincided with the arrival of its biggest competitor.
Why did they come when it was almost over, because Odiaa was busy partying with friends, as a person born in Lazio, Italy, and also lived in the Lomba area all year round, he must have a lot of friends, and there are many famous directors intersecting.
Odya is fifty-three years old this year, for the director, this young is really not big, the hair is gray, but the black-framed glasses, the eyebrows are quite dark, there is no beard, and the shave is very clean.
"A Chinese director, coming to Sicily for the first time, made a film about Italy in Syracuse. Odya couldn't help but smile when she thought of this.
He doesn't think that the Huaxia director is not good at shooting, how can the film that can be shortlisted for the main competition unit be bad, and it is still the opening film, Odia is just curious, what kind of story will the Huaxia director shoot.
The exhibition hall was all seated, the movie began to show, and Odya put his mind down first.
Accompanied by the separation of sound and picture, the first shot is the middle scene of the deep alley, and there are no important people appearing, all of them are background boards.
"The scene is very well set up. "Odya didn't go through the forties, but he's Italian.
Looking at the characters' clothes again, Odia noticed the elements, most of the people behind the scenes invited by this Chinese director should be Italians, and they are very professional, as a director, he knows that many scenes look simple, but they are very troublesome.
"It seems to be a story about the youth of a boy. ”
Odia saw that the main tone of the film was sunshine, and the backstory was Mussolini's declaration of war on Britain and France, and it was very simple at first, through the male protagonist Reinado, who told the story of his first meeting of Marlena at the age of twelve and a half.
One day in 1940, Reinardo got his first bicycle.
Here's a line that kind of stabs Odia, and the boss tells Reinado that "the frame is from the UK, the gears are from France, and the brakes are somewhere, I forget, but the chain is Sicilian, and it's definitely safe enough to be greasy." ”
"Did I think too much?" Odia continued to read, and soon he felt that this line was not that he was thinking too much.
A group of children used a magnifying glass to play with the ants until they were killed, and a group of children began to pray.
Reinado rode a new car and got permission to join his friend's team, when suddenly someone shouted: "She's coming" and sat down in a row, Reinado was confused and didn't know what was going on, but he also sat along.
Valentina played Marlena appeared, with long hair and a white dress, especially the skirt that was close to the figure, accompanied by a brisk soundtrack, it was really beautiful, and some people in the exhibition hall whispered that this actor was so beautiful.
Reinado saw Marlena for the first time, and the little brother saluted himself.
"Interesting. Odia smiled: "The riding picture, the picture of playing tricks on ants, the picture of declaring war, and the scene of the heroine dressing, the parallel montage of the four shots, the scenes have no intersection, and the heroine will appear in the end, which is very thoughtful." ”
After Marlena walked over, a group of people rode and rushed to the front of Marlena to wait, just to see more.
Just took a look at the crowd one more time, and never forgot your face, it is very appropriate to use this lyric to describe Reinado, anyway, since that day, my mind is full of Marlena's figure, even if it is during the day.
Tossing and turning at night, following Marlena, and digging a hole at night to spy on people's homes, yes, it's an idiot.
The main conflict in the early stage was the trousers, Reinado stole his father's pants and changed them into long pants to wear, because it was a child who wore shorts, and he wanted to grow up because of Marlena.
With the plot, Marlena's identity slowly becomes clear, she is the daughter of a deaf Latin teacher in the town, and she has a husband but her husband joined the army, so she can only live alone.
Because he is so beautiful, the men in the town will basically be distracted when they see him, while the women are extremely jealous, so they maliciously slander him in the back.
"I love the design. Odya praised: "Instead of directly explaining what kind of person Marlena is through the plot, but through Reinado's voyeurism, the audience understands that Marlena is a single-minded person." ”
"Because the audience is looking at Marlena from a voyeuristic point of view, which is more acceptable to the audience, I like this design. Odia said it twice in a row.
The film explains these frivolous rumors for Marlena very simply, with Marlena holding a picture of her husband and dancing at home.
Reinado bought the same vinyl feature as Marlena, then took it home and put it away, listening to the same song as Marlena, as if Marlena was right next to him.
It's a fantasy plot again, Ouyadi thinks that this movie will shoot a lot of fantasy plots, such as Reinado's fantasy that Marlena asked him to buy cigarettes before, and now Marlena is holding him.
Reinado that night, troubled the right hand.
Reinado began writing love letters to Marlena, but when he finished, he would tear them apart and throw them into the sea.
The story moves to the next plot point, Reinado once again rides a car to follow Marlena, but Marlena comes to a strange place, this strangeness refers to Reinado's strangeness, and then he sees a man throwing the key from upstairs and letting Marlena enter the house.
Could it be that Marlena really became someone else's mistress?, Reinado pondered.
Next is one of Tornatore's most classic skills, which can be said to be his signature, and of course it will become Chu Shun's signature in this world.
