The Rossini Cinema is one of the most famous cinemas in Venice, with a one-metre-square window with posters of upcoming or ongoing films, and with the Venice Film Festival, the crowds are growing. And the seemingly wide gate is already overcrowded, and even the road is full of people. Its two roads are separated, one leading to the cinema and the other to the underground garage.

At the Venice Film Festival, there are official competition units, non-competition units and horizon units that are the main body of film screening.

In the official competition section, more than 20 feature films with world premieres compete each year for the Golden Lion. Out of competition is often the most important films of the year, especially those by directors who have won awards at the Venice Film Festival. The Horizon section focuses on showcasing new trends in cinema.

Li Yihua's "Chainsaw", as the opening film, is placed in the official competition unit, and the opening film is definitely a strong competition for the award, which can attract a large number of attention, which can be said to be the key to competing for the Golden Lion Award.

The opening film of the 42nd Venice Film Festival, "Chainsaw", was screened at the Rossini Cinema, because the street in front of the theater is not wide, so there is a long queue here an hour before the screening.

The one-meter-long window is pasted with a brand-new poster, on which Liang Jiahui's broken face is filled with a large amount of plasma, which makes people full of reverie at a glance, and also makes the whole poster full of impact.

Most of the people in line arrive here in small boats, so the city on the water, with only the boat as a means of transportation, can also be described as a romantic trip. There are only a few major roads here, and the rest are basically cobblestone alleys, which are really difficult to walk from the boat.

Although he arrived in Venice for a short time, Li Yihua also did some research, and his film was nominated for three times, namely: Golden Lion, Best Director, Best Actor, and became the opening film, becoming a popular film competing for awards at this Venice Film Festival.

Because of the mysterious surname of the film, "Chainsaw" here except for the judges who have seen the movie, the rest of the media and fans from all over the world have not seen it, and they are not optimistic about their own film, although Hong Kong movies also have a certain reputation in the world, but the impression it brings to European and American audiences and media is still Bruce Lee-style martial arts scenes, and even limited to death Hong Kong movies can only be watched by those kung fu films.

Of course, because "Saw Horror" is the opening film and has been nominated for three awards, although many people are not optimistic, on the night of the premiere, there are still many people queuing up early to enter the venue. There are also many film critics who want to see the difference between Hong Kong films that have been recommended by the jury and appear at the festival for the first time, and have also been nominated for three awards?

"Carl, shall we go and watch that Li Yihua's "Chainsaw"?" Pooh was surprised and a little worried when he heard that Li Yihua's film was the opening film.

"Go, why not? I'm going to see what kind of movie that yellow-skinned monkey is making. Can it be used as an opening film? Karl was surprised, too, but he was more curious than surprised.

The two came to the Rossini Cinema as they spoke, and when they saw the long queue, they were all surprised, they didn't expect so many people to come. They have been in this group for so long and have met a lot of people, so in the long line of the opening film, you can often hear greeting them.

"It turned out to be Carl, you also came to watch the Hong Kong people's films? I heard that you made a bet with this director, didn't you? Matt turned his head and saw a familiar face again, "Hey, Pooh, you're here too." ”

"You're talking about the yellow-skinned monkey, I'm still waiting for him to admit defeat, I heard that today's opening film is his, of course I'm going to come and see how it sucks, and there will be a topic for him to learn when the time comes." Karl said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, this film should be okay, otherwise the jury wouldn't have given it three nominations." Matt Road.

"Absolutely not, I bet we'll be disappointed. You must know that only Bruce Lee movies can be watched in Hong Kong, and the rest are shit! Carl touched his nose ring

"Hurry up, you see that there is such a long queue outside, and you don't know if you can see a movie at a mysterious time?"

"Mary, why are we going to see this movie, it's scary to see the poster?" A grinning black girl said scaredly.

"Cardi, don't believe those so-called posters, they are all deliberately done by the director to promote the movie, it's so terrifying, you won't be timid to watch it." Mary said triumphantly, looking like a senior person.

"Who said I didn't dare to watch it, just watch it, I hope it doesn't disappoint us." Cady grinned with his white teeth.

"It shouldn't be much worse to be chosen as the opening film, and I've heard that there are new shooting techniques in it, and if it's not good, I'm going to make a big deal about it and make their film not sell."

"How's it going, aren't you a little nervous?" Li Yihua looked at Liang Jiahui and the others beside him, a few of them had been mixed in the long line outside very early, but because they were in wheelchairs, they were still very conspicuous. Some of the discussions in the crowd were also remembered by them, some were not optimistic about the film, and some were unsure about the film, which also made the few people who were originally full of confidence begin to waver.

"I'm really nervous, and I don't know if these foreigners will like our films, and if we don't win an award, it will be ugly." Wang Zhuxian looked at Li Yihua and said, they are not sure whether they will win the award or not, the nomination is already a big step for them, but if they don't win the award, then the bet will be lost, and they will definitely be embarrassed and thrown home.

"Anyway, it's going to start soon, it's the mule or the horse coming out for a walk." Li Yihua looked at a few people, but he didn't have too much worry in his heart, he was very confident in this movie, Li Yihua filmed this "Chainsaw" according to the style of Hollywood, I am not afraid that these foreigners will not accept it, but it is not something he can grasp to what extent he can accept it, but he is still more confident in his film.
