Chapter 266 It's About to Fire (Earth)

At the Venice Film Festival, generally speaking, there is only one screening of a participating film, unless there is a strong demand from the audience to see a second screening.

Judging from the current situation, "Inspur" is not highly rated in the four major magazines except the Chinese one.

The ISC show magazine said: "...an excellent short film that shows another meaning of love to life, but it loses its points because of its thin and short length, which fails to show the whole picture."

The show magazine of the Italian University believes: "...the shooting technique is novel, and the unprocessed images show the talent and spirituality of the director. I look forward to his next work."

The international magazine thinks: "...a cutting-edge director from China and Japanese actors have shot a film that is full of reverie. It exhibits a shocking oriental charm in the plain, and we think that the score of 4.0 is still not enough to describe. It's wonderful."

The higher score given to "The Wave" by international magazines may be due to the fact that the magazines that make up the international magazines are more international, with a broader and more inclusive vision.

In short, as Lu Linlang said, there is little hope. The number of films invited to participate in the Horizon short film selection at the Venice Film Festival is not many, and the ratings of several other shows are higher than "The Wave".

"The Wave is too short." Xing Shuwen discussed with Lu Linlang, "It's only 40 minutes, "Afternoon of Anger" is 80 minutes, and "The King of Belgium" is 90 minutes. This is a fatal shortcoming."

"So... What can Master Xing do?" The reason why Lu Linlang agreed to meet Xing Shuwen was because Xing Shuwen said he had a solution.

Xing Shuwen said: "I am familiar with Hei Yixiong of the jury committee, and I can introduce Truman to meet with the jury members through him. This will increase their impression of Truman. After all, this film was written and edited by Truman himself. Directing and acting, the jury is very willing to meet such a talented young man."

After hearing Xing Shuwen's suggestion, Lu Linlang's heart moved for a moment. It was indeed very attractive, but after thinking about it, she began to shake her head hesitantly: "Master Xing, this is impossible, Truman can't do it."

"Can't do it?" Xing Shuwen was a little surprised, what does that mean?
In Xing Shuwen's eyes, Truman is a young man with a not pure mind, who is proficient in psychological tactics and using his own advantages to exert coercion. Now recalling how he got along with Truman at the Golden Song Awards, Xing Shuwen still feels chills down his spine, as if Unless he is now in the same camp, he is unwilling to contact Truman again.

"Really not, Truman is not very good at talking." Lu Linlang was having a hard time explaining, Xing Shuwen was a scheming man, how could he be wrong when he saw Truman?Lu Linlang can't say that Truman's mind is not very good. What you see is false, that would be too hurtful.

……

Regarding the fact that "The Wave" was rated at the bottom of the show catalogue, the eating fish fan group is also taking action, but they can't do much except to mobilize fans to request the official screening of "The Wave" at the Venice Film Festival.

Truman has no reputation in the world now, which is like a blank sheet of paper. Without a personal image, he cannot attract fans. Fans of eating fish have nothing to do about this cold situation... It's not like they can't do anything.

The turning point of the matter came from an interview with Natsuka Mikami by an Italian magazine.

This magazine is "Cinema Handbook", a very professional and authoritative magazine in Italy. Its interview with Natsuka Mikami was originally a routine matter, but when digging out the past experience of this outstanding actress, it got a surprise. expected answer.

"...porn actress?"

The editor-in-chief of the magazine showed surprise when he saw the report.

"Yes, she has made hundreds of pornographic films. Japan's pornographic film industry is very developed, and she is the representative of female actors among them." The reporter was a little excited, this is a news point that no one has discovered.

"If my understanding is correct, pornography filmed in Japan is 18 years old, right?" the editor-in-chief asked.

In 2021, Italy abolished the film censorship system and established a film classification committee to classify films as unsuitable for 6 years old, 14 years old, and 18 years old. The 18 ban means that even open Europeans must be 18 years old. Movies that can only be watched after the age of [-].

"Yes, that's it. She has acted in hundreds of 18 banned movies!" The reporter nodded.

"That's really interesting~" the editor-in-chief became interested.

……

Day 4 of the Venice Film Festival.

An article from a reporter from Cahier Cahire magazine was published in the Italian show magazine. The title of the article is:

The behind-the-scenes story of "The Wave": She, who is used to being naked, wore a beautiful dress and an elegant crown on the Venice film.

The content of the report is mainly based on Mikami Xiahua, but what Sanshang Xiahua narrated in the length is all about Truman and the story of the entire movie shooting. How did an actress who made hundreds of 18 banned movies Who entered the eyes of the Venice Film Festival judges?The ups and downs of this story are the highlights of the sudden emergence of this Venice Film Festival.

Movies are important, and so are the behind-the-scenes stories.

"The Horse Breeder", which won the best documentary at the Venice Film Festival in 19, is that the photographer entered the Gypsy settlement for five consecutive years and filmed the changes in the family during the five years. During the five years, the mother, The sister and the horse they raised died in accidents respectively. The film does not have any artistic exaggeration, but the desperation of fate revealed makes people palpitate.

If "The Horseman" as a documentary shows the impermanence of life, then "The Wave" chooses the best of the Japanese AV actress family as the actress, which shows the modern film industry, especially the Japanese cultural hierarchy. The sarcasm is vivid on the paper.

The report article of the Italian field magazine attracted many people's attention.

They may have been one of the viewers of "The Wave", but during the viewing process, they did not conduct careful analysis and research on the background of the heroine. Looking back now, they feel that they need to watch "The Wave" again .

And those moviegoers who did not have the opportunity to watch this movie were also full of curiosity about it, and this curiosity reached a peak when they learned about the movie career of Japanese AV actresses.

The official response of the Venice Film Festival was quick. On the fifth day of the film festival, they arranged the second and third screenings of "The Wave" before the public opinion on "The Wave" further fermented.

The reason why the response was so quick was that the request for re-screening initiated by the Fish Eaters fan group had been known to the officials, and after receiving so many applications, a third screening was arranged.

During the second screening.

Lu Linlang saw that the auditorium was full of moviegoers. In addition to the seats full of people, there were also many people sitting on the carpet closest to the movie screen, and there were also many people standing at the door. In the past, only famous directors and big productions could see it at the Venice Film Festival, but now they all come for Truman and "The Wave".

It feels like we are going to be popular... Lu Linlang quietly took pictures of the grand occasion in the live screening hall with her mobile phone.
