Chapter 572: Dizzying, explosive points one after another
"So, "Cinema Paradiso" will participate in next year's Venice Film Festival?" Zhou Qingquan asked again.
All the media reporters looked at Li Yi with curiosity and excitement.
It is an Italian film, and it also received the help of director Berto Manning, chairman of the Venice Film Festival jury and a famous Italian director.
So wouldn’t it be a natural progression for this film to compete in next year’s Venice Film Festival?
Is Li Yi going to compete at the Venice Film Festival after winning the Oscar for Best Picture and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival?
And with Bertolt Manning's relationship, the probability of winning is very high!
As we all know, in fact, the three major European film festivals also have their own hidden rules. Moreover, the power of the chairman of the jury can be said to be very great. In many cases, the preference of the chairman of the jury can directly affect the final award of the award.
.
And Li Yi's "Cinema Paradiso" is really promising.
Not to mention anything else, the birth of this movie is quite miraculous. There is such a story besides the movie. So as long as the movie is not bad, the probability of winning the award is really very high!
Although you may not be able to win the Golden Lion Award, you can always win the Silver Lion Award, right?
"Director Manning did mention that, of course, it all depends on how the film turns out." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Cinema Paradiso" Li Yi is quite confident. The three major film festivals are different from each other and compete for influence.
Cannes created a double-egg golden palm and gave it to Li Yi. This stunt immediately became a famous story and attracted countless attention to the Cannes Film Festival this year.
As for "Cinema Paradiso", for the Venice Film Festival, as long as the Venice Film Festival has the idea to increase its influence, it will give a film like this, directed by the famous Chinese director Li Yi, but it turns out that it is a local Italian story.
movie, and such an amazing birth process, which is enough to give this movie a gimmick that will make the media write a book about it.
What's more, this movie can be said to be a love letter to cinema. I believe it would be difficult for any filmmaker to reject such a movie.
For the Venice Film Festival, naturally it will not be easy to let this movie go home empty-handed.
Of course, there is a premise for this, and "Cinema Paradiso" must at least produce that kind of flavor.
After everyone listened, everyone was very excited.
Many people have even begun to prepare the headline for this news.
"Li Yi's new film "Cinema Paradiso" has won the favor of the former jury chairman of the Venice Film Festival and may be booked for awards at next year's Venice Film Festival!"
It can be said that this trip is really worth it. By the way, it would be even better if I could interview director Bertolt Manning himself.
"Director Manning..." Zhou Qingquan said, and then looked at Li Yi hopefully.
Li Yi immediately understood Zhou Qingquan's thoughts.
He thought for a while and shook his head: "I can say hello, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to accept your interview!"
Although Li Yi said this, they all thought it was appropriate!
Don't say that the domestic media favors foreigners. In fact, this kind of opportunity is really rare.
The Venice Film Festival is still very influential.
In the past, some domestic celebrities would stand next to a certain foreign famous director and take photos or something, and there would be a lot of stories about how the famous director and xxx had a happy conversation.
This kind of news that is obviously for show at a glance can make many netizens talk about it, not to mention a real interview with a director like Bertolt Manning, and it is also real. You can ask him what he thinks of Li Yi
, thoughts on Li Yi’s new movie.
The reality is just as they thought.
There's no way Bertolt Manning could say no to something like this.
After all, on the one hand, he helped Li Yi out of his love for Li Yi's movies, but on the other hand, he also hoped that through Li Yi and Li Yi's movies, he could win the Venice Film Festival and gain access to the Chinese market.
What is the purpose of more attention?
Therefore, he has no reason to refuse such a thing.
Sure enough, Li Yi called Bertolt Manning and told him that domestic reporters were here and hoped to interview director Bertolt Manning.
The old man agreed without saying a word and would be here soon.
This news can be said to have made all the reporters who came here feel excited.
This trip was really worth it, and Li Yi really gave them enough face.
There is so much useful information. It can be said that after this trip, you won’t have to worry about news materials for about a week after you go back, and it will definitely be the news on the front page.
Look, Venice Film Festival, Italian film.
A hallowed director in the Italian film circle.
Wait, wait, wait, these are the news that domestic netizens love to read!
And then they interviewed Gil Toledo, which gave them full surprises.
Many foreigners and domestic people have completely different reactions when facing the camera.
Many domestic people are usually more reserved when being interviewed by the media, but Gil Toledo is different.
He was very cooperative and what he told reporters from China liked to hear.
Gil Toledo admired Li Yi very much and was extremely grateful to Li Yi for letting him become the assistant director of this film.
In addition, this movie is inextricably related to his family, him, and his grandfather.
So, what reason did he have to tell the story to these media reporters from China without exaggerating it?
When this group of domestic reporters heard that Gil Toledo was full of coincidences, magic, and incredible fate, they all felt that their trip was worthwhile.
Li Yi heard a story about a Paradise Cinema in Sicily, so Li Yi came here to look for it, and he actually found it.
And coincidentally, when Li Yi found this Paradise Cinema, he actually met Gil Toledo, a movie enthusiast, who was making a movie.
The two parties got to know each other, and as a result, there were many overlaps between the stories Gil Toledo told about his grandfather and the stories Li Yi heard.
What is this if not fate?
It even made them all feel like, why do stories outside of movies feel more exciting than movies?
As expected of you, Director Dog, you can make trouble when traveling.
And it also caused such a big thing.
Directly book an award-winning movie at the Venice Film Festival and shoot it immediately.
The inspiration for the movie, the birth process of the movie, the process of Li Yi being discovered and bumped into, etc., etc., are all enough for them to write about.
And soon, Mr. Berto Manning arrived.
Director Berto Manning also seemed very enthusiastic towards reporters from China.
After figuring out the identity and status of this old man in the Italian film industry and the European film industry, domestic reporters paid more attention to this old man.
