tearjerker director

Chapter 567 The Enthusiasm of an International Famous Director

"Honey, do you want to meet that director Manning?" Xu Nannan was also quite moved.

When Li Yi was hesitating, Xu Nannan suddenly said.

Li Yi looked at Xu Nannan in surprise.

"I also want to see how you make movies!" Xu Nannan said expectantly.

Li Yi couldn't help holding Xu Nannan's hand, feeling a little guilty.

He is the director, but Xu Nannan has never seen how he filmed.

Because Li Yi seldom filmed abroad, and Xu Nannan never went to China to find Li Yi, so on the contrary, he really didn't really go to see how Li Yi filmed.

"Li, I'll call Director Manning right now, OK?" Jill Toledo looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi looked at Xu Nannan, then nodded and said, "OK!"

"Great!" Jill Toledo said excitedly.

Then, that immediately called Bertoll Manning.

As a result, after hanging up the phone, Gil Toledo said excitedly: "Director Manning is very happy, he also wants to meet you, and he learned that Sicily is coming, he asked us to wait for him, he will come soon come over!"

"It's not good to let him come here in person, right?" Li Yi frowned slightly.

"No, no, no, Li, Director Manning said, you are a distinguished guest when you come to Sicily, how can we let a distinguished guest like you go around?" Jill Toledo shook his head repeatedly.

About two hours passed.

Jill Toledo received a call from Director Manning.

A car stopped at the gate of Jill Toledo, and a middle-aged man got out of the car. He opened the back door of the car, and an old man with gray hair stepped down from it.

"Li, welcome to Italy, welcome to Sicily!" The white-haired old man found Li Yi as soon as he got out of the car, walked over quickly, and said in English with a big smile!
"Thank you, Director Manning!" Li Yi greeted him with a smile.

"Li, I should have known you earlier. In that case, there might be no Cannes events! "The Truman Show" should come to the Venice Film Festival!" Bertoll Manning said.

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

In fact, the focus of the three major film festivals can explain the problem.

The Venice Film Festival focuses more on the exploration of human nature and the artistry of the film itself, and encourages film innovation.

"The Truman Show" can be said to be very in line with the style of the Venice Film Festival.

After all, the creativity of "The Truman Show" is king, and the movie also has many discussions about human nature, so this movie is indeed more in line with the taste of the Venice Film Festival.

On the contrary, "Suyuan" is not so suitable for the Venice Film Festival.

Because Cannes prefers realistic themes and films with artistic value!

"It's not too late now, is it?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Yes, it's not too late. I heard from Toledo, Li, you came to Sicily for a movie? And it's a movie about Sicily?" Berto Manning asked curiously.

"Ahem, Director Manning, shouldn't we go in and talk about it?" Jill Toledo couldn't help but said.

Jill Toledo's backyard, where Li Yi and others were sitting.

After listening to Jill Toledo talking excitedly about how he and Li Yi met, Li Yi's purpose for coming to Sicily and the "Paradise Cinema".

Bertoll Manning and the middle-aged man beside him looked at Li Yi and Jill Toledo in surprise.

After all, what Toledo said was a bit mysterious and magical.

But Li Yi saw the same thing. The middle-aged man couldn't help asking: "Director Manning, this is my girlfriend Xu Nannan. You haven't introduced me to the gentleman beside you yet!"

Berto Manning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is Piato Risi, he is also the director!"

"Director Li, it's a pleasure to meet you! I finally saw you in person. As soon as the teacher heard that you came to Sicily, he urged me to drive faster!" Piato Risi said.

"Hello, Director Risi! Nice to meet you too!" Li Yi also greeted with a smile.

Berto Manning is very talkative, especially when it comes to movies, he can't stop talking.

What Li Yi didn't expect was that Berto Manning's favorite Li Yi's movie was "The King of Comedy"!Li Yi was quite surprised.

And hearing him talk about "The King of Comedy", Li Yi knew that he was not being polite, but had actually seen this movie, and more than once.

"The final ending part is very ingenious, making people seem a bit abrupt, but it seems to imply that it is just a dream."

You must know that "The King of Comedy" was not released outside of Asia, so Li Yi was really flattered that Berto Manning knew about this movie and had seen it.

After all, through Gil Toledo's introduction before the other party came, Li Yi knew that the director Berto Manning was a real top director in Italy.

He can be said to be full of peaches and plums here.

He taught several disciples of famous Italian directors.

And has served as a jury member and chairman of the Venice Film Festival for many times.

It can be said that in the Italian film circle, it is definitely a top existence.

Simply put, the force is very high.

"By the way, Toledo, are you making a movie?" Berto Manning suddenly asked with a look of astonishment.

"Ah? Yes, it's just a pity that making a movie is really not as easy as I imagined." Jill Toledo blushed a little.

"Hahaha, no, no, no, actually it's easy to make a movie, but it's really hard to make a good one!" Bertoll Manning couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Maybe this time you can follow Li and see how he makes movies!" Berto Manning said again.

"That's what I think!" Gil Toledo looked at Li Yi with some embarrassment while speaking.

"Li, if you need help, just ask." Berto Manning also looked at Li Yi and said.

"I need actors, high-quality actors, and a crew, a mature crew, and a local assistant director, translator." Li Yi thought about it and said what he needed.

Li Yi said a lot, but in fact he did it helplessly. "Cinema Paradise" must be an Italian movie, and he is not familiar with the place where he was born. Without the help of local people, it is impossible to make it.

Therefore, he almost mentioned everything from behind-the-scenes to front-stage staffing.

To put it simply, if this movie wants to be made, apart from him as the director, Berto Manning needs to help everything else.

"These are all fine!" Berto Manning agreed without hesitation.

These may be difficult problems for Li Yi, but for him, they are extremely simple.
