Chapter 430: Farewell My Concubine!

Huang Baiyou enjoyed the opening ceremony movie "Ice Spring", still the protagonist of "Aaron", with an ordinary job, the relationship with colleagues is neither good nor bad, and the family environment is ordinary, but his temperament is slightly cold and not good at words.

The turning point was that he saw a dog die in front of him.

The plot of Aaron Samdsson's movie is unique, and the general film and television logic is "save the puppy", because pets get two-way redemption.

But the reason why the male protagonist of "Ice Spring" was redeemed was that the puppy died in front of him, which made him scared, afraid that it would affect his peaceful life, so he tried his best to keep "one layer unchanged" like peace.

"This actor has good acting skills, but not as good as Thirteen." After reading the evaluation, Yu Mo was quite confident.

"Are you confident of winning the Golden Lion?" Sister Han asked.

How to speak, Yu Mo said that the actor in Aaron's movie is not as good as Huang Baiyou, and the overall quality of the movie.

"I might win." Yu Mo said.

The five-second applause is enough to prove that most film critics, and even peers, are satisfied.

"Films that discuss propositions like [average] and [ordinary] are very popular with film festivals." Yuan Xiangshi put down his glasses, he was a little farsighted.

"I feel like the plot is weird, I am so scared that I have nightmares when I see the death of a dog, it should be reasonable to meet the dead, right?" Dong Gong said.

"Makes sense." Yuan Xiangshi said, "Maybe the director did it on purpose, because ordinary people can't meet dead people in their lives." ”

As the name suggests, the opening film is the first film to be shown on the opening day, so it can also be said that the closing film is the last to be played.

Basically, the guests will watch it, and not everyone likes this kind of movie that is calm on the surface but has an undercurrent underneath.

Wen Ruibing looked listless......

"Some of the films directed by Aaron need to be on the airwaves." Huang Baiyou stretched, rested for a while, and then went to the movie palace to watch the next one.

He is very concerned about the other part of the main competition unit, the horror-themed "Barrier".

We all know that horror and science fiction themes are not popular themes in film festivals, so it is worth looking forward to being shortlisted for the main competition unit!

The above-mentioned film festivals do not include the world's three major fantasy film festivals, which specialize in selecting fantasy, thriller, science fiction and horror themes.

Oh yes, I forgot to say that because there was a small accident on the red carpet of the opening ceremony - a British Internet celebrity didn't know where to get the invitation, and he didn't leave on the red carpet.

So the process of the red carpet was skipped, anyway, Huang Baiyou didn't eat with his face, and he also found one thing, this catwalk, "bringing goods" at home and abroad.

"Although it is a bit of a suspicion of boasting, the decision to refuse to endorse foreign luxury goods is too right." Huang Baiyou pondered in his heart.

At 15:21 Rome time, the world premiere of "Farewell My Concubine" opens.

The English name of "Farewell My Concubine". Concubine, a very ambiguous name.

Director Yu Mo is a little famous in Europe and the United States, after all, Nanhai Shisanlang has also won a lot of awards, but the peers, film critics, and media who came to the premiere are all for Standin.

The new role after the clown who has become popular all over the world must have a sneak peek, and Visconti, the editor-in-chief of Italy's most authoritative film and television magazine "Film", is aiming for Huang's name.

"Movie" is very good, the famous "New Realism Manifesto" was published by Wimbberto Barrow on it, and many film and television directors are estimated to have done this exam.

"Come and see Stantin's performance, I spoke to him yesterday, he's an artist." Aaron came with the screenwriter of the same crew, and before the movie started, he spoke Amway first.

In the same row are also two directors, Pei Wen and Conan Boleyn, who have different thoughts.

""The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" should be the pinnacle of your career, and no matter how you interpret the opera genre, you can't cross your own mountain." Pei Wen, who was on the left, thought in his heart, to be honest, he was here to witness Huang Baiyou's failure.

can't be said to be a failure, Huang's acting skills can't be bad after many tests, but it's impossible to surpass Jiang Yubiao.

Conan Boleyn, who is on the right side of the seat, is here to witness the "miracle", and by the way, he leads his male protagonist Sarif to study.

Oh yes, and the important guest is Marco Müller, former president of the Organizing Committee of the Venice Film Festival and director of the Italian National Film Museum.

As an aside, Marco Mill was the first person to make Chinese films go overseas, and in the nineties, Chinese films were able to make some achievements abroad, most of which were made by him, and he even wrote "The Shadow of Electricity" a book dedicated to the history of Chinese films.

Ma Ke has a deep love for Chinese films, and even said, "It is precisely because of Chinese films that I feel that I should continue to dedicate my time to films, and even host large-scale international film festivals." Therefore, he will definitely not be absent from the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine".

The weighty guests in the audience are almost introduced here, because the lights are turned off and the movie begins to show -

At the beginning of the movie, Cheng Dieyi played by Huang Baiyou and Duan Xiaolou played by Yuan Xiangshi walked into the gymnasium together.

In a few words, I will explain the identities of the two characters, they are famous "Beijing Opera" actors, and they are rehearsing today.

However, the two said that they hadn't sung for many years.

"I haven't sung in twenty-one years."

"It's twenty-two years."

"We haven't seen each other for 10 years."

"It's eleven years."

The lines are very concise, and in just a few sentences, you can see the role of Huang Baiyou, and he values the past more.

Director Yu Mo said that his skills are also shown, and the strong light on the front seems to drown the two of them, and through the lens, he feels the heavy pressure of the whole environment on people.

Sometimes failure is not due to inability, but to shoot the wrong thing, and good movies in this era may not necessarily be watched.

Therefore, Yu Mo's level is no problem at all!

As soon as there are a dozen footlights, the opening subtitles of the movie appear -

"Sure enough, it's a flashback." Everyone present can basically see that the previous three-word dialogue has buried a huge amount of foreshadowing, and it must be revealed.

Why did the famous opera actor in Beijing not sing for 22 years, and why the two who had a good relationship did not see each other for 11 years, there must be a story.

The prologue ends with a lively market, and the camera perspective follows a mother with a child in her arms, filmed in the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing, and the set props and costumes are quite realistic, which suddenly pulls the audience into that era.

"The old-fashioned one." Actor Sarif commented on the plot at the beginning.

At first, it was a street performance, and then because the little leper of the troupe wanted to run, he was dissatisfied with the onlookers, and the street performance was not good, so he was going to be thrown into the stall......

Then the half-sized stone performed a ruthless job, breaking the brick with his head to break the siege.

However, when I went back, I was beaten by the master, because singing is not a circus (foreigners understand), and you can't use this method to win applause with your singing voice and figure.

"This brave little boy is the one who was more burly at the beginning?" There is speculation from the audience.

However, Conan Boleyn directly guessed with the director's intuition, "It's the burly one, and the thin one should be the child held by the woman." ”

"In that case, his mother is a call girl?" There are viewers who come back to their senses.

The woman who was holding the child just now was pulling with the man on the street, and it was obvious that her identity could be seen, and there was a lot of information revealed at the beginning of the movie.

I have to read the subtitles again, and I have to think about the plot again.

As an aside, films that have been in competition since 2018 will be subtitled in both languages, except for films in languages other than English and Italian.

The cinema halls of the Palais du Cinema have English subtitle machines.
