Kuching International Film Festival,
After twelve years of development, the Kuching Film Festival has become the most famous film festival in the world, and can even be called the top one. It is one of the four major international film festivals in the world, along with the Cannes International Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival. Its highest award is the "Golden Palm Award".

This film festival, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, has been extremely international from the beginning. When it was founded, Europe was rebuilding from the ruins, and the United States was the only major country. A timely film award attracted the attention of European countries, and filmmakers from European countries began to gear up, hoping to find channels for overseas investment and distribution. After all, the market for European films was very limited.

“…The strong desire stimulated the idea of ​​filmmakers to participate in the film festival, so in the first session, it attracted filmmakers from many countries including Britain, France, Germany, Italy and others to come to Kuching to participate in the exhibition.”

Looking through the car window at the bustling streets, Li Yian said with emotion:

“It was from that time that the Kuching Film Festival truly entered the international arena and became an international A-level film festival. Compared to Europe, Kuching’s film industry now surpasses Europe in both quantity and quality, and is even on par with Hollywood.”

Of course, all this is thanks to me!

Li Yian is proud in his heart. The reason why Kuching's film industry is so developed, besides the need to play the cultural card, is another unknown reason - to attract immigrants.

By showing the life here through movies, the audience can see the modern, comfortable and affluent life, which is in sharp contrast to the ruins and hunger in Europe.

In fact, the most fundamental reason why the United States replaced South America and became the place that Europeans longed for after the war was the influx of American films after the war.

People saw a better new world through movies, but South America? It was just an idyll.

Although the description in the movie is a bit exaggerated, for the people in the post-war hunger and ruins of Europe, all that was still what they dreamed of.

As for Kuching, they just followed suit and used movies to promote the area. It was also through movies that Europeans got to know this land, and it began to become their immigration destination.

In order to give full play to the role of film and make it a tool to attract immigrants, the government, as the driving force behind the scenes, is extremely enthusiastic about funding film.

Market demand has further promoted the development of the film industry. The interaction between the government and the market has made the local film industry increasingly prosperous.

Relying on the huge local market, Kuching has been known as the "Hollywood of the East" since about ten years ago.

With the prosperity of the film industry, it is natural to think of organizing a large-scale international film festival. Under the manipulation of official agencies, the film festival was held in a grand manner. With the help of the film festival, Kuching's films have further entered the world.

Thanks to the film's storyline and excellent shooting quality, Kuching's films have been sought after all over the world in the past decade or so.

The Kuching Film Festival naturally attracts filmmakers from all over the world, and of course tourists.

As it is now, the streets outside the car window were filled with tourists from all over the world.

"Thousands of filmmakers come here from all over the world every year, including film directors, stars, and of course many tourists."

Nancy was standing nearby.

“I heard about this film festival when I was in the United States. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I came here.”

Here you can not only enjoy the tropical scenery and watch the latest movies, but also see many movie stars. It is easy to imagine how attractive it is to young people.

Looking at the girl next to him, Li Yian suddenly said:
"How about watching a movie?"

See a movie?
How can you come to Kuching and not watch a movie?

What movie should we watch?

There is a wide choice of films; after all, there is an international film festival going on right now, with cinemas big and small showing films from all over the world.

But there was only one spot in line.

The line stretched for hundreds of meters, with people whispering and discussing in various languages. From time to time, someone would look forward, as if trying to figure out when it would be their turn.

Looking at the long line, Nancy asked:

"What are they looking at?"

Looking towards the cinema, Li Yian raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Okay, let's watch this movie!"

Privileges are everywhere. No matter how you try to hide it, it is a reality. Movie tickets that are hard to come by for others are actually very easy to get for some people.

While they were queuing, Li Yian and Nancy had already entered the second-floor box of the cinema through the cinema's staff passage.

"Is this movie really that good? There are so many people watching!"

After sitting down, Nancy looked at the packed theater with some curiosity and said:

“Science fiction movie!”

Li Yi'an said:
"The movie has started."

As he finished speaking, the screen lit up.

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."

The moment the familiar scrolling opening credits came out, the corners of Li Yian's mouth turned up, and his expression became somewhat wonderful.

Yes, this is Star Wars!
From the day when he came up with this idea two years ago, he personally wrote the script of "Star Wars", which was actually just the story outline. After being filled in by several playwrights in Kuching, the script came out.

The rest is filming. Although there are no computer special effects now, the real-life special effects of movies in this era are still very good. The special effects of "2001: A Space Odyssey" a few years later are no worse than those of "Star Wars".

In fact, this kind of physical special effects was mature as early as the 30th or 40th generations.

The only question is...how much time and money are you willing to invest!
As a major production that will establish Kuching’s film reputation worldwide, more time and money could certainly be invested in it.

Now, this epic masterpiece, which took two years, cost millions of dollars and almost ten tons of gold to create, is finally released!

Accompanied by the classic yellow title sequence of Star Wars and its theme song, almost at the beginning, Nancy and many other audiences were inexplicably attracted by the passionate theme song.

What will be presented to the audience next?
It is a bizarre science fiction world.

In the vast universe, various spaceships are wandering around. A team wearing uniform uniforms and carrying peculiarly shaped guns on their waists are patrolling all directions. On the surface, various races with strange appearances coexist harmoniously, forming an extremely unique landscape.

Unlike the original film, the planet where Luke lives was filmed on location on Elysium Island. Unlike the small town built when Lucas filmed it, this movie fully displays the unique landforms of Elysium Island. Plants such as the dragon blood tree and desert rose that look like alien plants fully demonstrate the uniqueness of "alien".

Compared with the original film, both the special plants and the alternative terrain constitute an alternative "planet", which is by no means comparable to the simple desert in the original film.

Of course, there are deserts here, but compared to the desert, the alien-like plants create a natural setting, making the alien scene more realistic.

Of course, the magnificent scenery of Paradise Island is also shown in the movie. Unlike other people who are watching a movie, Li Yian is watching the scenery that is "closest to alien space".

He believes that with the popularity of this movie, Paradise Island will surely come into the sight of tourists from all over the world, and in the future Paradise Island may really become a "paradise".

Of course, what is more important is that with this movie, Kuching’s film industry will establish its own image worldwide, just like Hollywood in the future. When it is mentioned, it means blockbuster, and these two words are often a guarantee of box office success.

……

As the plot progressed, hundreds of viewers in front of the screen widened their eyes in surprise as they nervously watched the space scenes presented in the movie.

People even watched this epic masterpiece with a pilgrimage mentality!

This is inevitable!
Now is the time when human beings are full of endless imagination about space. It has been less than ten years since human beings sent satellites into space, and only six years since human beings first entered space.

People are curious about space and are full of imagination!

And at this time, a space-related movie suddenly burst into people's sight. You can imagine what kind of shock it brought to them.

What "Star Wars" presents is not only the vast universe, but also an epic space war, and of course what is even more attractive is the extremely grand story background.

It is for this reason that when "Star Wars" was first released at the film festival, it immediately caused a viewing craze and even became the undisputed star of the film festival.

There were long queues in front of several cinemas showing "Star Wars". Audiences from all over the world lined up to watch this space epic over and over again.

It has to be said that in many cases, human aesthetics are universal. Even though it was released 14 years earlier, this space epic still attracted countless audiences, and the shock it brought was even much stronger than 14 years later.

After all, in this era people had just entered space and were still full of countless imaginations about the moon.

Because of this, the impact it brings is unprecedented.

Like many people, Nancy was completely immersed in this epic movie. Of course, there are many amazing things in the movie, such as the male and female protagonists, whether it is Luke or Princess Leia, are played by teenagers in their teens. Their mothers are of European descent, the male is handsome, and the female is beautiful.

As soon as the princess appeared in the movie, her stunning appearance made everyone's eyes light up, and Nancy couldn't help but exclaimed:

"She is so beautiful!"

They are very beautiful. Princess Leia and Luke were personally selected by Li Yian from many actors, and their looks are absolutely impeccable.

Her costume was also carefully designed. Unlike the old version, it looked a bit forced. She was said to be a princess, but she was dressed like a maid.

What is the first step in cultural communication?
Of course it’s the first impression. The grand worldview constructed by Star Wars is one, but the male and female protagonists are also very important, especially the external image. Why can the Korean wave sweep the world? Isn’t it relying on handsome men and beautiful women?
Of course Han Solo is also very important, and the actor is none other than Bruce Lee.

When watching Bruce Lee appear on the screen, Li Yian showed a smile on his face. Sometimes, life is so wonderful. Who would have thought that he would come to Kuching and audition for "Star Wars".

Although this movie does not show his kung fu skills, the several fight scenes in the movie still made the audience exclaim in amazement.

Compared to the master-disciple duel in "Star Wars" that was criticized by countless Star Wars fans and was just a simple few gestures, it was replaced by a wonderful lightsaber duel.

The exciting lightsaber duel made everyone scream with excitement, and even Nancy couldn't help but scream.

……

The two and a half hour movie finally ended. When it was over, Nancy, like many others, was still immersed in the world created by "Star Wars". Finally, someone started to applaud first, and then thunderous applause echoed in the cinema.

This is perfectly normal.

Even after leaving the cinema, Nancy couldn't help but gesture with her hands to indicate the light, and even whispered:
"May the Force be with you!"
