When Lan Li's figure appeared in the lobby of Venice International Airport, the whole space was boiling, the surging heat wave was rolling in, the salty sea moisture and the sticky summer heat were blowing in the face, and every corner of the sight was filled with crowds, dense and bustling, and the hall that was not spacious was now even more watery, and it seemed that even a place to settle down could not be found.

The blind, scorching flashing lights rumbled like a silver waterfall, and the whole world was plunged into light and shadow.

Compared to Cannes in May and Berlin last year, Venice welcomed the arrival of the Blue Rite in the highest order.

Although this year's Venice Film Festival is really star-studded, Canadian talent director Xavier-Dolan (Xavier-Dolan), Scarlett Johansson, who has gradually turned to commercial cinema in recent years but still has a strong appeal in the art field, James Franco, who directed three films in one year, and Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki, etc., all gathered in this year's Mizuki to participate in the main competition.

But Lan Li is still unique, no one can compare with him, literally, not one. Of course, even in the world, there are only a handful of actors who can now reach the level of the Blue Rite, not just in Venice, but even in Cannes four months ago.

According to statistics, at least more than 800 reporters gathered at the airport, and this is still the number in the reception hall, some reporters simply took the same flight or a similar flight to Venice, and began to follow and shoot from the inside of the airport, and media from all over the world gathered together just to take pictures of Lan Li's landing in the country.

As all journalists know, the space at Venice International Airport is really limited, and in order not to affect the normal entry and exit of other passengers, and in order not to affect the daily entry and exit of other directors or actors or publicity personnel, it is impossible for journalists to complete interviews at the airport, and every actor or director who visits the Venice Film Festival will not be interviewed at the airport.

But...... No one can afford to miss it, and no one wants to miss it.

The situation at the whole scene is very chaotic, the sound of chirping is like thousands of mosquitoes at the same time in the ears noisy and noisy, annoying, as if the world is about to explode, but it can be seen that Lan Li's mood is very good, relaxed and comfortable, bright and brisk, even if he is wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, covering half of his face, he still can't hide the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

A simple light gray linen shirt, plain dark blue casual pants, light sky blue round-toe cloth shoes, a surprise dome woven straw hat, and a sports mechanical watch on the wrist of the right hand.

Under the cover of eight bodyguards, Lan Li appeared in the water city of Venice lightly, looking like he was coming to the film festival at all, more like a special vacation, grabbing the tail of summer and breathing the smell of sunshine in the city;

After all, Lan Li's footsteps did not stop too much, under the airtight escort of the bodyguards, he quickly left the airport, took a small private yacht at the pier that came to pick up the airport, bathed in the flash and drove away, leaving behind a long string of white splashes, as well as unfinished discussions and heated discussions, belonging to the craze of the film festival, it seems that because of the arrival of Lan Li, this officially kicked off.

Sitting by the porthole of the yacht and enjoying the scenery outside the window, the turbid water is completely not as clear and translucent as Cannes, but full of simplicity and noise that belongs to Italy, which makes people unbutton their shirts, roll up the sleeves of their shirts, and let the wind pass through the messy hair, leaving behind all the restraints of etiquette.

In a trance, Lan Li seemed to see himself again when he was young, as well as Matthew, Andre and Eton, bathed in the humid sea breeze, like a canary escaping from the cage, laughing wantonly, the loud voice broke the peace and tranquility of the early morning in the water city, and then ...... The whole world comes alive.

It's a really interesting thing.

After the filming of "Burst Drummer", the memories of Lan Li-Hall's life gradually became vivid, like a dusty oil painting in the corner, revealing the original color and light little by little, and those seemingly insignificant memories gradually made the weight of the soul become solid.

It is a city known as the "City of a Hundred Islands", with scattered islands scattered around the main island: Venice Marco Polo International Airport is located on a small island called Tessera, and the Venice International Film Festival is held on a small island called Lido, both of which are some distance away.

In fact, Lido is a holiday island that people love to come to, even if it's not the Venice Film Festival, without much amenities and activities, just to enjoy the sand, sea and sun, away from the hustle and bustle of the main island, and quietly enjoy a holiday of their own.

The Duke of Hamilton's private residence sits on the main island. For the aristocracy, the convenience of life, lively parties and bustling strips are one of the important symbols of status, and even during vacations, enjoyment is an absolute theme for them.

Moreover, many mansions or properties inherited by hereditary aristocrats can often be traced back to distant historical trajectories, which may not have been the center of the city, but gradually developed with these areas as the core of the city's development trajectory.

The main island is undoubtedly the busiest and most prosperous part of Venice, but the Duke of Hamilton's private residence has a unique location.

Not only does it have its own private pier, so you don't have to worry about crowded water traffic at all, but it also faces the sea with the city buildings of the main island in its back, facing the vast and vast ocean, and on a clear day, you can also see the silhouette of the colorful islands, glass islands and Lido islands in the distance.

The cobweb-like staggered canal passages are simply unrecognizable, and the familiar buildings and bridges make Lan Li gradually lose her direction, unable to distinguish the road and the scenery, leaving only some fragmented, plausible familiarity to fly quickly backwards in front of her eyes, but for Lan Li, this is not unfamiliar, and it has always been the same when she was on vacation in Venice before-

He could never remember the location of the Duke of Hamilton's private residence, and he could never tell where he was.

Lan Li couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and spread it slightly, catching the viscous moisture in the air, as if he had just arrived here, and his hair had become wet.

In the distance, a large area of noise appeared in the line of sight.

On the left side of the waterway is a row of uneven old buildings, some of which are about four stories high, others only two stories high, some of which appear to be complex and ornate, some of which are plain and low-key, some of which seem to be crumbling, and some of which have just been renovated.

It seems to be chaotic, but it is precisely this casualness that belongs to the characteristics of European history.

In modern society, the planning of top cities is becoming more and more standardized and neat, but it has gradually become the same, and the history, culture and heritage of the city have all been overturned and rebuilt in one go, and little by little they have disappeared into the long river of time, and there is no difference between Eastern cities and Western cities.

But European cities have always stubbornly maintained their original flavors, even a little chaotic, and the flavor of history can be captured brick by brick.

At the end of the row, you can faintly see the outline of a domed church.

It used to be a church frequented by the faithful, but it has since decayed due to leprosy/wind/disease, and the main church is now on the top of Piazza Marco Polo, where tourists come and go, and this deserted church has become a place for charity organizations to give alms and other activities.

Looking up at the right side of the waterway, there was a vast and silent sea, diagonally opposite an island with a church on the left side of the road, but on the other side it looked a little deserted and dilapidated.

Because, after the rampant leprosy/stroke/disease, no effective treatment could be found, and the local government/government could only transport all the patients to the church on that small island to be supervised and treated, but it was also isolated from the world. Eventually, thousands of sick people were trapped and died on the island, which is now a place of remembrance.

All of this was a familiar sight to Lan Li, because the few of them had personally landed on the opposite island to explore, and saw a mess of scars in the inner walls of the church, some of which were dilapidated, some of which were blurred, and some of which were still profound, outlining the hellish scenes of the past. Those memories are still vivid, and naturally the scenery around you will not be forgotten.

But...... He was still unsure where the Duke of Hamilton's private residence was located.

At this moment, there are large crowds of people gathered on the vast water, and at least seventy or eighty small boats can be seen on the empty sea on the right, including speedboats, small boats, long-tail oars, and gondolas, densely scattered in all corners of the sea, and then forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement, extending from the right side all the way to the left, and the entire open water area has become a calm inland sea.

Not only that, but the dock at the entrance of the building on the left can also be seen flowing past, although it is not a dense arrangement of the hull against the hull, but it is also gathered in twos and threes, like the onlookers on both sides of the fashion stretch.

So lively and so prosperous, reminiscent of the noise and madness of the carnival in February:

It's just that everyone in front of him is to welcome the arrival of Lan Li.
