The same is true for premieres. In China, generally speaking, after the premiere, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, the creative team will routinely accept interviews with the media after the premiere.
But this is Italy, this is the Venice Film Festival.
There is an unwritten unwritten rule here. Unless your movie gets a good response, you will be qualified to be interviewed by the media on site. Fans and guests will also stay to listen to the creative staff share their creations.
My thoughts on the movie, otherwise, the audience would leave without any shame!
Of course, most of the time, when the film is selected as the opening film of the film festival, there will be no situation where people leave directly after the film screening is over.
However, in the premiere screening room of "Cinema Paradiso", the applause resounded for a long time before it stopped.
What's even more rare is that in the huge theater, no one left the show early.
This is not so easy for a movie.
After all, this is the Venice Film Festival, one of the most influential film festivals in film art.
The audience who come here to watch the opening film of the film festival are either senior film practitioners, elites in the industry, or lovers of art films.
Therefore, to a certain extent, conquering these people is not as easy as winning the box office with a commercial movie.
Li Yi and other creative members became the focus of the audience as soon as they took the stage, especially Li Yi.
Because the birth process of this movie is not known to everyone, but at least it is nothing new.
Therefore, most media interviews are about the plot content of the movie.
For example, the first question asked by a reporter from "Screen", the official magazine of the Venice Film Festival, is the one that may cause the most controversy about this movie.
"What right does Alfredo have to deprive Duoduo of his life? Break up his love with Elena? Just because he thinks Alfredo's career is more important than love?"
Other reporters and guests at the scene also looked at Li Yi with curiosity, wanting to know how Li Yi, the creative director, would answer this question.
Because actually many people also have this doubt in their minds.
When the gray-haired Duoduo yells "I will never think so" to someone on the phone, and when he returns to the place of success and fame but is filled with sadness and is not interested in all awards and accolades, can we still say that he is happy?
Judging from the movie, for Duoduo, the most important thing in life is not career, but the true love that can never be let go!
Therefore, Duoduo's life is incomplete. And this incompleteness was given by Alfredo. Maybe Alfredo must have good intentions at the time. He thought that this way he could explore Duoduo's potential and allow Duoduo to achieve a career. But career
Do you really need love to fulfill your needs?
Li Yi was already prepared for this problem.
"I think Alfredo played a very important role for Duoduo, as an elder, as a father, and at the same time, he also became the guide on Duoduo's growth path.
He once said to Duoduo: This place seems to be cursed. You have to leave this place and remember that we never look back, never write letters, and never compromise. This is a vent to the fallen city and also a response to the collapse of the city.
The anger of life is also a kind of suppression of life. It’s just that he is getting old and nothing can be changed whether he talks or not. He regards Duoduo as another continuation of his own life. So he personally reluctantly and deliberately separated Duoduo and Ai
Lina. It’s another kind of expectation for life, even though love has been broken up.
If Duoduo had not left the town, he would have been a projectionist for the rest of his life like Alfredo. Like the villagers of the town, he would have been a projectionist for the rest of his life. And Alfredo knew that Duoduo and Irene
Na's identity is a gap. If Duoduo stays, he is just a projectionist. How can he marry the banker's daughter?
The young Duoduo thought that love was everything, but Alfredo knew that without the realization of dreams as the support of real life, any love will eventually be shattered.
Duoduo has been very smart since he was a child. Alfredo has said many times that Duoduo has his own way and he cannot be a projectionist.
When you stay in one place for a long time, you will think that it is the whole world!
Maybe Alfredo also had many stories and opportunities when he was young, but he just didn't want Duoduo to repeat them.
Leaving the town and being unfettered is the only way out.
Every choice a person makes is a giving up.
If you want to get some, you must let go of some.
Is it possible to have a complete life?
And I think it is precisely because of such imperfections that it makes people remember it!
Because everyone’s life is imperfect…”
As a result, Li Yi still underestimated Western reporters' persistence in issues such as "love" and "freedom".
"But because of Alfredo's obstruction, Duoduo lost his love! Isn't it?" The reporter asked persistently.
Li Yi was also a little helpless.
But this question still needs to be answered.
After thinking about it, Li Yi said: "Do you still remember the last shot of the film? Duoduo was watching Alfredo in the screening room, splicing the intimate clips that had been cut together into a film.
Duoduo, who was still a child at the beginning of the film, once asked him why he didn't cut the films back together. Alfredo said that he had forgotten the correct position. The pieces of film that were cut out were like the relationships that were missed due to the force of life.
You may never be able to correctly connect them to the original film, but you can splice these fragments together to form a film that will move people, because this is life.
Duo Duo may be able to win love by staying, but he will definitely not have any subsequent achievements. Gaining and losing are always the most difficult choices in life. It is said that Alfredo hindered Duo Duo's love.
Rather, it is Duoduo who made the choice himself, because only he can choose everything!"
"What does the kiss scene at the end of the movie represent?" asked a reporter from another magazine.
Everyone is very curious.
Because it can be said that the collection of kiss scenes at the end of the movie, not to mention too many, is definitely the most unforgettable scene among the movies they have ever seen.
Li Yi smiled and said: "What does it mean? What do you think? I think everyone may have their own answer in their hearts!"
Some things don’t need to be said too clearly, because movies are meant to be left to the audience to experience for themselves.
It's the director's business to make the movie, but it's the audience's business to interpret the movie.
Everyone showed a knowing smile.
Li Yi did not answer this question, but the reporter did not continue to pursue this question.
Afterwards, reporters also interviewed other creative members.
Berto Manning smiled and said to Li Yi: "Li, thank you for filming this story and bringing it to Venice. It's even better than I imagined!"
"No, I should be the one to thank you. Without your help, I think it would be difficult for me to make the movie so smoothly!" Li Yi said with a smile.
