Venice, the beautiful Italian water city, has always been known as a paradise of art.

In the eyes of people's anticipation, the annual Venice International Film Festival, which is well-known in the world film industry, finally kicked off here on August 30.

The audience was as enthusiastic as ever.

A total of 62 films from 27 countries were shortlisted for each major section. More than 2,000 domestic and foreign journalists, and even more so ordinary film lovers, crowded the tiny island of Lido, where the festival is held.

Expensive movie tickets don't dampen the enthusiasm of movie fans, many of whom even queue up at the door an hour before the movie is shown, which is really surprising at the huge appeal of the movie to the public.

Recently, "chinoiserie" is still in vogue.

In recent years, with the rise of understanding China, Chinese films have become indispensable guests of major film festivals. At the last Venice Film Festival, Chinese films blew a lot of "Chinese wind" on Lido Island. "Seven Swords", "If Love" and "Song of Long Hatred" were released at the same time, and in order to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Chinese films, the film festival also opened a special Chinese film screening unit.

Although this year is a "small year" for Chinese films, the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan together have a full 6 Chinese films selected for the main unit screening, and even the Italian film "Lost Stars" tells a story that happened in China.

Not only that, in order to make up for the regret that there are no Chinese mainland films participating in this year's festival, the "surprise" film that is added to the competition unit at the last moment every year is customary.

It has just been confirmed that it belongs to Chinese mainland, the film "Three Gorges Good People" produced by Wang Meng and directed by Jia Zhangke.

It can be said that the reason why Wang Meng and Jia Zhangke have such the right to the last train is somewhat political.

However, the excellence of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is also inevitable.

As expected, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" competed for the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in the competition unit.

Of course, Chinese films can shine in Venice, and Marco Müller, who has served as president of the Venice Film Festival for three consecutive years, also played a key role in the middle.

Muller is an out-and-out "China fan", he had studied in China for many years, was proficient in Chinese, loved Chinese culture, and was obsessed with Asian films, especially Chinese films, to the point of madness.

His unexpected kneeling at the premiere of "Night Banquet" this year was not so much about falling under the latter's pomegranate skirt as being impressed by the great charm of Chinese culture.

This scene in this life also happened, and the international chapter greatly brushed his face for this.

And Wang Meng's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", after being nominated and conducting the final competition, the Chinese filmmakers who came to participate in the Venice International Film Festival came to congratulate them.

Including Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kexin, the opponent of the last college student film festival, international chapter and international fan and other big stars.

"Director Wang, is Director Jia confident?" Feng Xiaogang said that this time he brought "Night Banquet" to come, and Venice has decided that "Night Banquet" on September 3 will be the first opening film.

"We have confidence, and the films participating in the Golden Lion Awards this year are not simple, I can't say for sure." Wang Meng said modestly.

"It's still about the quality, I watched your "Good Man of the Three Gorges", it's very good." Chen Kexin comforted.

"That's right, I'm sure the Venice Organizing Committee will be fair." The International Chapter said.

At this moment, the international chapter is the pinnacle moment, that kind of arrogant attitude, Wang Meng doesn't like it very much, maybe only after the two 'doors' and the 'crooked nut' boyfriend incident, will it be reined in.

is like Fan Ye who is standing on the sidelines and watching, Fan Ye is much quieter at the moment, just coming to rub the red carpet, people don't say anything, and they are polite to everyone, this is the mentality of the final counterattack.

"Do your best, I'm lucky to lose my life, we can see it very well." Wang Meng sighed.

"What should be ours is us, no one can snatch it away, it's not that we can't force it, take your time." Feng Xiaogang said.

Chen Kexin also said: "Actually, I like Director Wang's whimsical ideas very much, such as "This Man". Therefore, even if you don't win the award this time, as long as Director Wang still has such a classic script, you will definitely succeed in the future. ”

Chen Kexin did not hide that he liked science fiction, which was beyond Wang Meng's expectations, didn't he say that Chen Kexin loves literature and art the most?

Then, everyone was very busy, chatted a few words and left......

In fact, Wang Meng has been very hit in the past few days, and his reputation in China has almost exploded.

However, when I got here, I realized that Nima, not even a vegetable.

Look at those Hollywood big names, look at those popular movie stars, that's popularity.

Although he, Jia Zhangke and others were shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award, they didn't want you.

I remember that when he walked the red carpet yesterday, after he and Jia Zhangke and others walked on the red carpet, they were at a loss, and the reporter didn't know who it was.

Fortunately, there were a few reporters in China who greeted them very face-savingly.

Fortunately, the emcee said that the movie of 'these people' was shortlisted for the final award.

Such! The dazed reporters hurriedly took a few photos.

It can be described as embarrassing to be neglected.

It's been a long time since I've felt like this, and since "This Man is from Earth", Wang Meng's topic has always attracted attention.

Now that I think about it carefully, the road is still far away, and it is not the top in China, let alone at such a large-scale international film festival.

Therefore, Wang Meng didn't want to suffer such a blow, and decided to go back after attending the premiere of Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" on September 3. Wait until September 10th to compete for the final prize.

It's not that the glass heart, but I finally have a clear understanding, and it's still a long, long way off.

Don't talk about others, just look at Jackie Chan, you know that in the same scene, the eldest brother became very popular after he appeared.

The call of "Jack Chen" continues, and this is his goal, and even beyond.

For this reason, Wang dreamed of Chen Kexin's words.

That sentence had a great impact on Wang Meng, he became famous for his science fiction, and he rarely went to the road of science fiction recently, thinking back to his past life, including this life.

The most influential film is still science fiction, since I have so many classic science fiction movies from my previous life, why not imitate them?

It seems that after "You at the Same Table", I am going to move closer to science fiction, at least I want to get the title of "Chinese Science Fiction Master".

……

On September 4th, Wang Meng, Zhang Lantian and Jia Zhangke returned to the magic capital after explaining clearly.

At this moment, in China, due to the shortlisting of some Chinese films such as "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", there has been a commotion.

Wang Meng didn't expect the news of his return to China to be exposed, and as a result, there were more than 50 reporters at the airport, which was better than the media records that Wang Meng encountered......
