"Brother Linzi, why don't you seem to be very happy?"

Fat Di noticed that Shen Lin's face was not very good-looking, and asked a little strangely.

"Hey! Venice can't compare to Cannes after all! ”

Shen Lin looked around, and then whispered to Fat Di.

"There are really too few fans."

Ryan Gosling echoed and nodded.

Although it is a bit unauthentic to say this, the facts are in front of us, the most important thing in a film festival is, of course, the audience, otherwise no matter how much the country promotes, it will be useless.

"Be content, I heard that this year has been the most visited in the last five years!"

Shen Lin waved his hand to the audience on the side, then walked to the front of the movie palace, exchanged a few words with the judges led by Sam Mendes, and then walked into the main gate of the movie palace under the leadership of the staff arranged by the organizer.

specially said hello to Zhao Junqi.

The latter had been a little anxious recently, and reluctantly smiled at Shen Lin.

Ay! A generation of Hua Dan made it like this, why bother?

However, Shen Lin will not have anything to do with her for the time being, this thing is too easy to harm the pond fish.

……

The Venice Film Festival, which has been focusing on film art for 70 years, has been surpassed by the rising star Cannes Film Festival in terms of prestige, and has been squeezed out by the Toronto Film Festival of the same period in terms of commercial importance, and even attracts less journalists and audiences than the Berlin Film Festival.

Such a disadvantage did not develop overnight, and the reasons for this are very complex.

It may not be clear for a while, but it has a lot to do with the Italian way of working and organizational management.

Think about it, Italy in World War II can be called responsible for selling cuteness, and Serie A, which was originally called the small World Cup, can also be tossed by them into a darker existence than the Chinese Football Association, how reliable can the film festival hosted by them be?

The shrinking European market and the sluggish Italian film industry could not save Venice from declining, as you can see at the opening ceremony, the most popular are always Hollywood stars!

After the 90s, the globalization strategy of Hollywood films began, just like the original NBA dream team, like the earthly version of the gods, both the European film industry and Asia have been seriously impacted.

In Europe, the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Berlin Film Festival have all been crushed to varying degrees.

Although the domestic media reports are 'embattled', is the Venice Film Festival really in decline? Or' 'The Venice Film Festival: Keep working hard, you will reap the rewards!' ’

Albert Barbera, the festival's president in charge of film selection, took office in 2011 and is renewed this year and will lead Venice until 2020.

It has always insisted on excavating films from the world's periphery and countries with no history of filmmaking as the top priority of this longest-running film festival.

At the beginning of his tenure, the Italian domestic media said, "Barbera is trying to separate the Venice Film Festival from Hollywood, and independent art may become the new feature of the Venice Film Festival." ”

The so-called separation from Hollywood is actually the meaning of saying goodbye to popular art!

For the eighth year in a row, the Venice Film Festival has become more and more distant from Hollywood, and the number of films with Hollywood backgrounds in Venice is decreasing.

It has been several years since a Hollywood film has won several major awards at the Venice Film Festival.

Shen Lin is absolutely very skeptical about whether "La La Land" can win the Golden Lion Award.

The reason why the Venice Film Festival agreed to "La La Land" in the competition and was also selected as the opening film is that it is clear that the festival needs the topic and attraction that he and "La La Land" bring.

Entering the movie palace and following the staff into the screening hall, there was a warm applause at the scene.

"La La Land" will be screened soon.

……

Zhao Junqi has been annoying lately.

What kind of experience is it for an actress who is loved by more than half of the Chinese people to suddenly fall directly from the top to the cliff?

Tricks to death!

Originally, it was just a very simple movie, and she didn't get to make such a big fuss.

I guess she couldn't figure it out.

It's very simple, if you don't live the way we imagined, you're wrong!

However, her team did get mentally retarded.

When you are filming, you like to use whoever you like, but when you laugh and use a suspected politically sensitive person like Dai, please also smile and take the corresponding political risks, don't talk nonsense about freedom and democracy, which country pays attention to political correctness!

So it is in North America, and so should we!

……

This is a story about music and love.

The story takes place in Los Angeles, and the heroine, Mia, whose ambition is to be an actress and playwright, is influenced by her aunt, who is obsessed with old movie stars.

Mia worked as a waitress in a café during the day, auditioning for countless roles in her spare time, but without exception, she was never heard from.

In fact, she has no dreams, and there are many posters of Hollywood's Golden Age movies hanging in her bedroom, but she has not even seen "Rebellion Without a Cause", and lives in a rented house with 3 other girls, lingering on boring dates and parties.

After another failed audition, Mia is a little disheartened, dragged by her best friend to a carnival party, and returns late at night only to find that she has no house key, Mia has to wander the empty streets, and is suddenly attracted by the melodious sound of the piano from a restaurant, where Mia meets Sebastian for the first time and has a crush on him.

Forget it, it's not watery, in fact, the story of "La La Land" is very simple, it is nothing more than two young people with dreams floating in Los Angeles, falling in love and encouraging each other, but reality is blocked and separated.

The heroes and heroines of the whole "La La Land" have no particularly serious problems, and their way of looking at feelings is relatively mature.

The relationship between them is also simple and surprisingly simple, there is no national hatred and family hatred, no time and space travel, no identity disparity, no gender exchange, it is a simple love between men and women, but it can be deeply touching.

Yes, the male and female protagonists never even shed tears from beginning to end. When they finally met, the male protagonist played their tune for the female protagonist, and the female protagonist left the stage with her husband after listening to this song, smiling lightly, and the male protagonist also smiled and continued the band's performance.

Not a single frame of superfluous footage!

Shen Lin watched "La La Land" for the second time, and this time he watched it more seriously.

He was hardly involved in the post-editing of the entire film, of course, he was in charge of the style and style, with Damien Chazelle as his deputy.

The two have surprisingly the same perception, and the more bland the plot, the better.

There are no senseless misses, pseudo-climaxes that don't need to know each other but don't recognize each other, and the lives of ordinary people can also touch the heart, which is what a mature film and television work can do.

The female protagonist does not need to abandon her husband and children for "true love", and the male protagonist does not need to be depressed for "true love". All the fantasies of the two about love are in the music played by the male protagonist for the female protagonist, and in La La Land in the male protagonist's mind, which is enough!

Because true love would not have been so vigorous.
