Chapter 177: Opening
Many people may think that the scene of an international film festival must be very high-end, with red carpet reporters and bright stars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because this is basically the kind of scene you see on TV and in newspapers. But the film festival lasts for so many days, and the opening and closing ceremonies are only two days old. At other times, the crew is busy with screenings, the reporters are busy with their own work, everyone has their own goals, and they won't all get together. Therefore, the film festival is more often a film screening.
For a lot of films, it's important to show them. Because when your film is screened, you can attract studios from all over the world, and you can also attract journalists, and expand the popularity of your film through journalists. So, a good screening venue is important.
Gu Wenwu and his entourage had just finished breakfast, and Lao Huang came as promised. Today's weather is good, and it is a very common phrase to describe it, that is, the weather is sunny and sunny, which is very suitable for traveling. There are still a lot of places to play on Lido Island, so after asking the opinions of Gu Wenwu and his party, Lao Huang Shou took this group of people and began to walk around the island.
"This is the most prosperous street on the whole island of Lido, Santa Maria Elisabeth, which straddles Lido from the shallow sea on the Venetian side to the Adriatic Riviera."
"Many of the beaches on Lido Island are private, but there are two huge public beaches at the southern and northern ends, and this beach is the southern public beach, where many movies have been filmed, and it is on this beach that the famous German writer Thomas Mann's "Soul Breaks Venice" was written."
"This hut is the hut from the movie "Death in Venice", and there are costumes from the movie, if you are tired of playing, you can also go into the hut to rest."
……
Lido Island is a small island in itself, and there are no magnificent natural landscapes, which attract tourists more by relying on the rich cultural landscape. Lao Huang has been on Lido Island long enough, and naturally he has a lot of treasures about the landscape on Lido Island. In half a day, he took Gu Wenwu and his party to visit all the distinctive places on the island.
After all, the crew is not here for tourism, so it is impossible to spend a lot of time on this, so just take a look.
After visiting these interesting places, it's time to get down to business. After the group finished lunch, Lao Huang took Gu Wenwu and his party to the screening venue prepared by the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival for the crew of "Fireworks in the Day".
Since "Fireworks in the Day" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, the screening venue was arranged with the help of the organizing committee. The opening ceremony will be followed by the screening of the films, which will not end until the closing ceremony on September 10. If the film wins, there will be a re-screening of the winning work.
There are many screening venues on Lido Island, but the attention of each venue is very different. In many cases, some venues are full, while others are poignant. In addition to the SalaGrande Theater, the main hall, other famous clubs include the Palabiennale Theater, the Sala Darsena Theater, the Sala Giardino Theater, and the Sala Perlad Theater. As a film shortlisted for the main competition unit, the venue arranged by the crew of "Fireworks in the Day" is also excellent. In addition to the SalaGrande Theater, the main hall, there are also screenings at the Palabiennale Theater.
"Director Gu, the screening place of your crew can be said to have taken up the best location, these two halls are excellent venues, especially the main hall, so you don't have to worry about the attendance rate at all." Lao Huang brought Gu Wenwu and his party to the screening venue, and there was a little unbelievability in his tone. He has been in the Joint Department for so many years, and such treatment is rare.
According to Lao Huang's many years of experience, the organizing committee arranges venues to watch dishes, which film lineup is stronger, which film is of higher quality, and the venue will be relatively better. So, which kind of "Fireworks in the Day" belongs to?
"Oh, is that so, that's not bad." Gu Wenwu was not too happy, after all, the quality of the venue had no impact on winning the award.
"Not bad......" Seeing that Gu Wenwu was so calm, Lao Huang didn't know what to say.
After seeing the venue, the time was almost up, and Lao Huang's task was basically completed. He wasn't needed much for the rest of the matter. After all, the Star Review Club is not anyone's nanny, and it is already very good to be able to help with the reception, so you can't ask too much. With the help of the star review committee, the crew can adapt quickly, which is already a great help.
The group invited Lao Huang to have a meal and parted ways with him. In the next two days, the crew had nothing to do, and they were all preparing for the next red carpet of the opening ceremony and the subsequent screening. The organizers of the film festival also sent people to discuss with Gu Wenwu about the red carpet at the opening ceremony.
The time was neither fast nor slow, and soon it was August 31 (the previous text was written incorrectly, which has been corrected), and with the evening breeze of Xi, the opening ceremony of the 62nd Venice Film Festival officially began.
At this year's Venice Film Festival, Xia Guo films cannot be underestimated. The two films shortlisted for the main competition unit are Gu Wenwu's "Fireworks in the Day" and Guan Jinpeng's "Song of Long Hatred", the opening film is Xu Ke's "Seven Swords", the closing film is Chen Kexin's "If Love", and the Horizon unit that rewards film newcomers also has two Xia Guo directors shortlisted, namely Li Yu's "Red Face" and Ning Ying's "Infinite Motion". In addition, "Initial D" was unveiled in the non-competition section. So many Xia Guo movies have naturally attracted great attention in China. The opening ceremony of the film festival was broadcast live on major web portals, and many people stayed in front of their computers early, refreshing the web pages, waiting for the latest reports from the front.
The time when the crew of "Fireworks in the Day" walked the red carpet was in the middle, slightly ahead. Before them, the famous French director Patrice Charlotte, who appeared on the red carpet with the creator of the movie "Gabriel", immediately killed countless films. This person has worked as an actor, screenwriter, and now a director, and is internationally famous. The work brought this time is the same as "Fireworks in the Day", and the screenwriter and director are all him.
The appearance of Tris Charlotte sparked a small climax, which also made these reporters look forward to the next appearance.
"The next one to appear is Wen Wugu, a young director from the Eastern Xia Kingdom, behind him is the main actor of his film "Fireworks in the Day", "Fireworks in the Day" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of this film festival, let's look forward to the work of this young director." The host's introduction was decent, but as soon as his words fell, the reporters on both sides of the red carpet made a lot of noise.
Needless to say, the reporters of the Great Xia Kingdom are in the limelight in China, and they must report it well. But in addition to these reporters from the Great Xia Kingdom, some foreign reporters also raised their cameras one after another to face the crew of "Fireworks in the Day" who stepped on the red carpet.
"Hey, man, what's there to shoot for a young director in Xia Kingdom?" A foreign reporter looked puzzled at his colleague holding up the camera next to him, this director is young, looks very raw, should be just a newcomer, even if he is shortlisted for the main competition unit, he feels that there is no need to shoot.
"Nonsense, that's a civil and military Gu, he's so famous, he's not worth shooting, so who else is worth shooting." The peer looked at him with a strange look, as if he were looking at an idiot.
