Chapter 264 Lonely Temperament (Earth)

"The Wave" was shot with a handheld DV, so in the first impression of the screen, it has a non-professional life temperament, but this is not enough to be a reason for the audience and judges to reject it, because the main purpose of the Venice Film Festival This is to encourage innovators in film technology or thought.

When it comes to the purpose of establishing the Venice Film Festival, it is necessary to go back to a fundamental question, what is the ultimate goal of the art category of film.

The answer given by the Venice Film Festival is "films serve serious art", and artistry is the most important judging criterion of the Venice Film Festival.

The movie screen is opened.

The first shot is two Asian men and women sitting on the sofa. The two leading actors are young and beautiful, including the man, who is so beautiful that it makes people play, but soon these professional audiences got rid of the appearance. Influence, to focus on the plot.

The Venice Film Festival will provide Italian subtitles for all films, and there will be a separate monitor for English subtitles.

But this design made Lu Linlang frown.

In "The Wave", the male and female protagonists communicate in Chinese and Japanese throughout the whole process. Using their own language but being able to communicate without barriers, this shows a kind of estrangement in identity and spiritual integration between foreign couples.

That's very important, but it disappeared in the Venice film show, because most audiences from Italy or European countries can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese. Of course, as long as the judges can see it, it's fine, after all, the final award decision Power is in the hands of the jury.

So Lu Linlang glanced at Hei Yixiong, just in time to see Hei Yixiong frowning, her heart sank, but she reluctantly withdrew her mind and turned to the movie screen. After all, at this time, worrying is useless, and they have no ability to lobby the jury .

The plot continued on the screen. Truman was hanging on Mikami Natsuka's big white legs. Mikami Natsuka was digging his ears while talking. After translation, it can be seen that Mikami Natsuka was saying that only mothers in Japan can Picking ears for my son, but I can't treat you like a son.

And Truman is saying that Chinese wives will also dig ears for their husbands, but you must be the most gentle Chinese daughter-in-law.

Misami Xiahua chatted about some interesting things about her mother when she was still alive. Truman echoed her voice from time to time, expressing her own opinions. The content of their chats was full of a wonderful sense of rhythm. It would be understandable, but obviously not.

This kind of patchwork dialogue has a wonderful sense of rhythm. From this moment, the unique temperament of this film begins to truly show.

"Yes, temperament." A reporter from The Paper recorded these two words in his notes.

Among the more than 100 moviegoers present, reporters accounted for one-third, and media from China accounted for another third of the reporter group. The Chinese film that was shortlisted again after two years attracted more than domestic media. , It also attracted a lot of European media.

Journalists from The Paper, Aiguanying, Fengying and other media will rate all the films of the Venice Film Festival during these ten days. Yes: ICS program, Italian program and international program.

Including the Chinese-language show magazines and called the four major show magazines, each of the show magazines includes reporters from different media, scoring and comprehensively scoring a movie, with five stars being 5.0 as the highest standard, statistics are made every night, and the second Released every day, the show catalog score will greatly affect the jury's rating of a movie, and it can even be said to be a weathervane-except for the Chinese show catalog.

Although there are inevitably biases in this, for example, this reporter from The Paper looked for the bright spots in "The Wave" with admiration, but when a large number of reporters voted on average, these biases were within the allowable deviation range.

Back to the film itself.

The ending of the whole "The Wave" plot is very simple, there are only three scenes of interior, restaurant and playground, but from the first scene, keen movie viewers have noticed that the reason why this movie was selected is its unique temperament .

The two protagonists are close and distant, they will gather together on the sofa to play intimately, like lovers who will never be separated, but in fact the difference between the two is not in the soul but in the country.

Before switching to the second scene, the two protagonists expressed the signs of a soul-mate and the need to break up. This contradictory relationship forms a strong dramatic tension.

If the audience can understand the ingenious setting of using two languages ​​in the play, it will double the tension. Unfortunately, only 30% of the Chinese and Japanese audiences in the entire theater can experience this.

So, what is this temperament?

The reporter from The Paper was hesitating in his notebook. At this time, the scene in the movie had progressed to the two driving a car trip. They came to the reserved restaurant and took out the reserved cake. It seemed whose birthday it was , but it can be seen from the dialogue between the two that this is not the case, it is just an anniversary.

What kind of anniversary was that?
No one said anything, but they understood each other.

And this doubt also exists in the hearts of the audience, or they may not understand until the end of the film that it is the anniversary of the breakup of the two, but this anniversary does not need to be remembered.

At this point, the owner of the restaurant thought it was their birthday, so he reminded them to take a photo and hang it on the commemorative wall of the restaurant.

Faced with the kindness of the restaurant owner, the two readily accepted it, and waited for the restaurant owner to take a Polaroid to take a photo of them, but they asked for the photo, and burned the photo carefully by the light of the candle. Lose.

In the firelight, the eyes of the two were reflected. They were laughing, but there seemed to be tears hidden in their flickering eyes.

This scene is very touching. In the whole plain plot, its existence is like a piece of ice protruding slightly from the Arctic sea. It takes careful thinking and exploration to get in touch with the huge iceberg under the sea.

When everyone was thinking, there was a soft weeping sound from a corner of the theater, which attracted the attention of people nearby. When they looked over, they saw the Asian woman who was one of the leading actors in the film, comforting another woman beside her. A woman, seeing everyone looking over, the leading actress bowed to everyone, expressing her apology for disturbing them.

This is understandable.

This passage is really touching.

At this time, the reporter of The Paper finally wrote the answer about the temperament of the film in his notebook.

Only two words:
lonely.

　This part of the Earth may be a bit longer, let’s say chapter [-] or thirteen, it’s going to be this long even without talking about a word of nonsense.
