As the oldest film festival in the world and the first international film festival in the world, the Venice Film Festival is not as good as Berlin and Cannes.

Even Christopher, the jury and president of this year's Venice International Film Festival, was criticized for the opening ceremony and various film screenings of the Venice International Film Festival as if it were a country cinema......

Attached to Venice, a water city, in order to create an atmosphere of combining "man and nature", the organizer specially invited art designers to design a retro "night open-air screening", with the sound of swaying water and the full moon hanging high, and the misty exotic atmosphere to create a wonderful movie-watching experience and make people forget to return......

It was really beautiful, but within a few days of the screenings of these films, they encountered a continuous drizzle, forcing the organizers to find a way to move part of the screening area indoors......

When it was finally possible to stabilize the screening of films, the awards ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival at the end of the year was particularly unsuccessful.

"Poor to the bone!"

"Engaging in literature and art, pretending to be high, so poor that I have to eat, and I don't even let go of the audience's pockets......"

"The international film festival should strike a balance between business and art, you see how successful Cannes is, it perfectly combines business and literature and art, and it is getting bigger and bigger, as if it is the first of the three major film festivals in Europe......

"I don't even want my face!"

Similar invective arose just days before the opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival.

This year's president, Christopher, has smeared the overall sanctity and atmosphere of the entire Venice International Film Festival a lot.

Sell Tickets!

And it's also a ticket for the festival!

Why don't you die?

Focusing on the excavation of literary films, commercial films can't enter the Venice International Film Festival at all, the purpose of making the Venice International Film Festival more and more poor, plus a few European judges boast of being high-minded, picking and picking some commercial sponsorships, pointing fingers, for fear of affecting the authority of the Venice International Film Festival, and because of the host's designer's operation, this Venice International Film Festival is finally held in a painful ......

But despite the scolding, filmmakers from all over the world still held up half the sky.

The boats on the edge of the water city were all crowded, and there were even some capsizing accidents......

Zhou Yang saw several graceful and luxurious crews rolling in the river, and finally made it quite undignified in the sunset, and was once photographed by various people......

………………………………

"Damn, I don't even want my real face, rent a venue, spend so much money!"

"I pride myself on not getting involved in any commercial factors, but I start selling exhibition space ......"

"Be a bitch again, and set up a memorial arch again......"

"Is this the Venice International Film Festival?"

Sunset.

Feng Kai scolded and took the bill, standing at the door of the Venice International Film Festival, feeling very gloomy in his chest.

The reputation of this year's Venice International Film Festival is really collapsed, not only selling tickets, but even fooling filmmakers of money.

There are only two films at the Venice Awards Ceremony of the Chinese Ginseng Family, but there are quite a few films invited to participate in the exhibition, and in half a month, a rough count shows that there are nearly 20 Chinese films released.

Among the more than 20 movies, although the quality is online, the content is uneven, and commercial, literary and artistic, BL, and even some banned films that Zhou Yang has never heard of......

There are all kinds of movies!

Well......

The so-called invitations are actually all disguises, and the money is basically spent internally, and there is a lot of money, all in millions of dollars and millions of dollars.

Feng Kai's "Jin Yiwei" has a good reputation in China, but in the West, especially the Venice International Film Festival, which focuses on the field of literary films, it is a little looked down upon......

"Invited screenings" are very different from normal screenings.

Not only is the film schedule time relatively underworld, but also the screening place is very far away from the screening area, basically hanging the name of "invited" screening, leaving you to fend for yourself, at first there were some people, but then there were fewer and fewer people, and all of them were attracted by the normal screening area on the other side.

Film festival insiders, and even many judges, do not admit that these "invited to screen" films have anything to do with them!

This made Feng Kai inexplicably feel cheated.

But other directors are very excited, especially some directors who have just lifted the ban, smashing pots and selling iron to take the film to the Venice International Film Festival, various screenings and promotions, and they are also immersed in the dream of international directors.

Of course, there are some advantages to the films that are invited to be screened, that is, each film can have a red carpet invitation and a ticket to the film festival......

"The Point Guard Is Here"

This made many actresses who have international dreams collectively happy, wearing fancy clothes and showing their faces on the edge of the red carpet, the younger ones are quite conservative, and they still protect a little protrusion, and those older actresses care about you, scratching their heads and posing all kinds of things, and they can't wait to let the photographer put the camera on their chests, and they want to have more fun.

"Wow! Mr. Zhou! ”

"Wow Mr. Zhou, can we take a photo?"

"Mr. Zhou, my name is Han Yaya, I am a singer, I admire you very much......"

"Mr. Zhou......"

“……”

Before the red carpet, Zhou Yang saw a lot of speechless things.

After countless Chinese actresses saw him, as if they had seen something fragrant, they collectively posted it, eager to squeeze Zhou Yang with those proud places.

Zhou Yang was embarrassed, tried to keep his distance, and hinted that he didn't like this, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of these people......

Especially when walking on the red carpet, Zhou Yang even felt that his body was not his own......

Zhao Zhen's buddy is even more miserable, the movie "Lighthouse by the Sea" is too influential, not only many Western actresses have posted it, but even many male stars have also posted it......

"Mr. Zhou, I was kissed by that black man......"

"Gross!"

"I suddenly don't want to make that movie......"

After the red carpet was over, Zhao Zhen ran to the bathroom as soon as possible, and when he came back, his stomach was still churning, and he was obviously frightened.

Zhou Yang smiled bitterly and did not speak, but walked towards the award ceremony hall.

This circle seems to be like this, everyone is competing in various ways, trying every way to build relationships, and the competition is as cruel as the battlefield full of gunpowder in ancient times.

After taking a seat, Zhao Zhen's side was even more crowded, and countless producers and directors surrounded Zhao Zhen and surrounded him, making Feng Kai jealous for a while.

"Zhao Zhen is a big name in the circle...... I heard Christian's inside information, Zhao Zhen is very likely to win the award, damn, it shouldn't be the actor! ”

"No, I think it's the best newcomer... Zhao Zhen is a newcomer at the Venice International Film Festival......" next to "Infernal Affairs", Li Qiang, the head of the post-production team wearing a Rolex and a human-like dog, shook his head.

"The Best Newcomer Award is also awesome, this is the main competition unit award!" Feng Kai stared at Zhao Zhen, who was being embraced, and his eyes were dripping blood.

"Director Feng, what if the best actor is Mr. Zhou? The best newcomer is Mr. Zhou? Mr. Christian, one of the judges, has a very good relationship with our Mr. Zhou, and he will be a little more inclined to ...... And our "Infernal Affairs" has a lot of Asian actors, Liu Hua, Zeng Jiabao ......"

"That's right! Recently, I've been hearing people talk about "Lighthouse by the Sea" in Venice, and I've heard it so much that my ears have grown calluses......"

Feng Kai turned his head to look at the crew of "Infernal Affairs" next to him.

After seeing those people, Feng Kai's mood was still quite complicated.

The last time he had this expression was when Zhou Yang won an award in Berlin......

That time, he was a supporting character in front of a television set.

This time it was a little better, with the qualification of "invited to screen", he came to the scene and sat in a relatively high position.

But......

is also a supporting role to witness others.

Liu Hua, who was not far away, heard someone mentioning him, so he unconsciously looked up and looked around, and then sat back in the chair.

Senior Zeng Jiabao patted him on the shoulder......

Liu Hua, as the king of heaven, has experienced the era of the three kings of Xiangjiang, seen strong winds and waves, and praised the artists of film and television songs, which should have been peaceful, but at this moment, he seemed a little nervous.

Over the years......

His acting skills have always been criticized.

Although he has been nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Actor many times, and has also won an award at the Millennium, he has been ridiculed by the outside world and major media as "the most water actor of the Millennium" and "the beginning of the collapse of the Hong Kong film circle......

He didn't pay attention to these rumors at all, and he was always immersed in the joy of success.

But as Xiangjiang movies began to get worse and worse, and after the continuous outflow of talents, these rumors began to become mainstream remarks, and even many film critics began to feel so.

This made Liu Hua so angry that he didn't know what to say, the whole person fell into depression for a while, and he has been eager to prove himself over the years, but many things are like this, the more you prove yourself, the more cheating you become, in six years, you have received countless bad movies, although the influence in Huaxia still belongs to the top-level seniors, but the whole person seems to be nailed to the pillar of shame......

He was invited to participate in "Infernal Affairs" to prove his ......

Although Zhou Yang is young, his resume is very amazing, especially in the international film festival, he can beat some veteran artists in the Huaxia coffee position.

At the age of 26, he participated in four international film festivals.

Two Cannes, one Berlin, one Oscar!

He won both awards, and at the Oscars, he won an individual award like Best Screenplay.

Why don't you follow Zhou Yang?

This time, "Infernal Affairs" was indeed nominated for the award!

And there are many nomination awards.

Best Screenplay Individual Award, he and Zhou Yang won the Best Actor Award at the same time......

Three nominations!

You know, this is the Venice International Film Festival!

Among the three major film festivals in Europe, the film festival ranks first in terms of gold content as a whole!

Thinking of this, Liu Hua and Liu Tianwang, who were already in their forties, stared at the big screen again, and their nervousness deepened a little.

Then he looked at "Night Walker" on the other side.

Li Yaozong of "Night Walker" Li Yaozong Li Tianwang was also sitting not far away......

"Night Walker" has also received several nominations, even for awards like the Silver Lion for Best Director.

During the period when the Three Kings competed for hegemony, his appearance and acting skills were not as good as Li Tianwang, and his singing and dancing were not as good as Guo Tianwang, which belonged to all-round development, but he was not one of the outstanding among the three heavenly kings.

Compared with Liu Hua's bad luck, Li Tianwang definitely got the script of the actor, and he won the Academy Award for Best Actor not long after his debut, and the second movie "Returning to the People in the Late Night" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor......

Several times Liu Tianwang became a background board at the award ceremony, watching him come to the stage to accept the award.

This time, it won't be either......

The award ceremony was noisy.

In the hustle and bustle, Zhou Yang's expression remained calm, although it was the first time to come to the Venice International Film Festival, and many things were very novel, but there was not much excitement.

Since that escape from the death of "Struggle", Zhou Yang's mood has never been calmer, and now he is very satisfied and wealthy in his life, and he does not have a particularly competitive spirit, and it doesn't mean much to him whether he wins or not.

Just as the award ceremony was about to start, Zhou Yang felt a familiar figure walking over.

He turned his head, but saw that the figure was Song Yiyi.

"Teacher Song, are you ...... I thought you weren't coming......"

"There are too many media to come too early, so I come when there is less media, and I am less crowded......"

"Oh."

"Zhou Yang ......"

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

After Song Yiyi sat down, she glanced at Zhou Yang, seemed to stop talking, and finally shook her head again, turned her head and looked at the big screen in front of her calmly.

Zhou Yanghu looked at Song Yiyi suspiciously, he always felt that Song Yiyi seemed weird.

Zhou Yang hadn't thought about what was going on, and saw a familiar figure walking over again.

"Director Zhou......"

"Director Jiang, hello ......"

Director Zhou...... I ......"

"Director Jiang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's good, it's good......"

Django hesitated for a moment, his face flashed a little bit of speech, and finally nodded again, returning to his position in Nightcrawler.

Zhou Yang looked at Django's back and frowned.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that Django has really changed a lot, he seems to have matured a lot, and he is a little less hostile to himself, but he seems to be a lot haggard......

When he sat in his position, Zhou Yang found that Django did not speak to King Li and his group, and looked lonely, as if separated by a transparent horizontal membrane.

"Little Zhou ......"

"Huh?"

Zhou Yang turned his head again and saw another figure coming over and patting him on the shoulder.

"Listen to my uncle's advice, the water of superheroes is too deep, you can't grasp it...... Don't make any "Spider-Man"...... It's not a movie you can make right now......"

Zhou Yang turned his head and saw Zhou Yilin, who he hadn't seen for a long time, also coming over, and his first sentence was serious.
