After arriving at Lido Island by bus, Evan Bell did not hide himself in a hurry, but followed the tourists who disembarked in an orderly manner, and then walked along the path of the pier towards the Cinema Palace. at the pace.

At this time, it was during the Venice Film Festival. In addition, summer was the peak holiday season. The entire Lido Island seemed very lively. The movie fans who came here were excitedly talking about the movies they watched in the past two days and the stars they met. But when Evan-Bell walked to the main venue, he was stunned by the slightly deserted scene at the venue's ticket booth. He couldn't help but look around! This is indeed the main venue of the Venice Film Festival. However, the scene of less than two hundred spectators cruising around really surprised Evan Bell.

The gathering of more than 200 spectators was actually very lively, but compared to the world's three major film festivals, such a scene seemed inconsistent. Looking back at the scene of the Toronto Film Festival and the Huina Film Festival, the crowded and crowded scene is definitely one of the labels of the film festival. Even the Venice three years ago in Evan Bell’s memory is also full of excitement. The film palace in front of you. , It is similar to the scene when Evan Bell participated in the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year. Is the decline of the Venice Film Festival also so rapid in recent years?

Evan-Bell went to the ticket booth to inquire about the movie tickets for today's screenings. As a result, several well-received movies such as "Tessa" and "Paper Warrior" still have tickets, which is really rare for a film festival. However, Evan Bell soon understood the reason, a movie ticket actually cost 40 euros! This is no different from stealing money, more than three times the price of a movie at 12 euros three years ago. Afterwards, Evan-Bell inquired about the package tickets for the participating films, and it actually cost 130 euros, which was 30% higher than three years ago.

For Evan Bell, such a fare is naturally not expensive, but even if the Bell family is rich now, they have never been the type that likes to splurge. On the contrary, during the trip of the past three months, Evan and Bell have arranged their expenses as reasonably as possible, and have no plans to squander it at all.

Fortunately, the price of the short film has not increased too much. At eight euros per game, Evan Bell bought a movie ticket for the short film "The Eve". This is the directorial debut of Natalie Portman. Landed in Venice. After buying the tickets, Evan Yibel looked around on the bookshelf next to him, frowned slightly, and asked the conductor, "'Excuse me, do you have any English publications?"

The answer of "no mouth" was Italian. Although Evan Bell knew German, French and Spanish, he did not dabble in Italian. He only knew a few basic Italian vocabulary because he lived in the Bensenhe district when he was a child. So, facing the conductor's answer in Italian, Evan-Bell's frown widened instead, feeling a little dumbfounded, "So, you can't speak English?"

"Okay, may I have anything I can help you with?" The conductor's tone was sincere, but he still carried the laziness unique to Italians.

Evan Bell has traveled in Europe for a long time, and naturally knows this. Italians and French are very famous for being lazy, but the Huiner Film Festival has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, and this situation has improved a little. On the contrary, the Venice Film Festival has been in the throes of reform, and the situation has not improved. Evan-Bell didn't plan to compete with the conductor, but asked again "'Is there no English edition here? I only saw Italian."

"Sorry, no." The conductor's answer was in English this time, but unfortunately it was still concise.

Hearing such an answer, Evan-Bell was stunned. It was the first time he heard that an international film festival did not have an English edition. Although the Venice Film Festival is held in Italy, and Italian is bound to be the official language, it is definitely the first time that there is no English-language publication. "Is it all taken away, or there is no mouth"

The conductor didn't want to give up when he saw Evan Yikul, so he explained, "If you want to see information about the film festival, please log on to the official website of the Venice Film Festival, and there is a physical edition of the English edition on it. We don't provide it."

Evan Bell must admit that this year's Venice Film Festival has refreshed his bottom line. Although he doesn't like the Huiner Film Festival and has some hatred for the Berlin Film Festival, compared with this trip to Venice, Hui The preparatory work in Nader and Berlin was clearly more than a notch better. Evan-Bell doesn't know what Mark Muller thinks. He has also taken over the Venice Film Festival for four years. How could he be negligent in these details?

Evan-Bell originally wanted to say something, but in the end he waved his hand and gave up, his face full of helplessness. In fact, English-language publications are also what foreign journalists need. Most of the audience who really come to the Venice Film Festival are local Italian audiences, and they have no problem reading Italian. It can only be said that the Venice Film Festival does not give preferential treatment to foreign journalists, which will definitely offend many professional media.

Is there a problem with the operation of the Venice Film Festival? Judging from Evan-Bell's current experience, the increase in fares and the reduction in service quality are undoubtedly directly linked to funds. It is also possible to think about it carefully. The Toronto Film Festival held after Venice is getting more and more rapid, which makes Venice and Berlin face the same problem, that is, the schedule is crowded out by strong opponents, Berlin is crowded out by Oscar, and Venice has to cooperate with Berlin competes high and low. The quality of the films exhibited in Venice this year is generally not high. In addition to the follow-up impact of the screenwriters' strike, the Toronto Film Festival that will be held next is also a huge threat. Therefore, it is estimated that the Venice Film Festival has also encountered problems in terms of budget and sponsorship.

Shaking his head and throwing his thoughts out of his head, Evan Bell picked up an Italian magazine and walked towards the screening hall. I can't read Italian, but the posters and dates can still be read. In fact, there are not many days left until this year's Venice Film Festival. September 6th is the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, and most of the entries have been screened. Evan Bell looked at "Rachel's Wedding", "The Hurt Locker", "The Wrestler" and "Juno" are the highlights of the remaining three days, from the way the main committee filmed It can be seen that an American work is arranged at the end and they still hope to use Hollywood's attention to attract more attention.

At this time, the premiere of the short film unit has ended, and the short film has never been the most watched part, so there are not many audiences in the screening hall, and only one-third of the audience sits in the more than 400 auditoriums. After Evan Bell sat down, "Eve" began to play, but the seventeen-minute work was quickly screened.

Evan-Bell walked out of the field by the dim light, recalling the short film he just watched. Suddenly a voice came from the front, "There are pillars in front." Evan Yibel immediately raised his eyes and looked forward. A petite figure stood in the bright line of sight in front. Due to the backlight, the shadow projected on the ground stretched out for a long time, and the person in front of him was completely wrapped in a halo and could not be seen clearly at all.

Evan Yibel took two steps forward, "Is this the so-called pillar?" Evan Yibel looked at the person in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Standing in front of Evan Bell is the director of "Eve". Natalie Portman said, "How is the movie?" Natalie Portman came to watch her for the second time. Works, different from the feeling of watching in the editing room, the effect in the cinema is always easy to be infinitely enlarged. The advantages are the same, and so are the disadvantages.

"I don't like it." Evan Bell curled his lips and said, for Natalie Portman, he has no intention of greeting and polite, and it is the best choice to express his meaning directly.

This answer did not exceed Natalie-Portman's expectations. "At the premiere, the audience left early, and there were quite a few." She shrugged, trying to express that she didn't care, but the loss on her face It was revealed between the resolute eyebrows.

The two walked out of the Movie Palace side by side~www.readwn.com~ and walked straight to the beach along the main road. At this time, the whole sky seemed to be on fire, and the quaint palace across the sea was dyed red! The red seaside swaying around is like a raging flame, setting off the building beautifully.

"The Eve" tells the simple story of a grumpy, humorous grandmother who goes out to dinner with her new boyfriend and her granddaughter. From the handling of the lens, we can see the delicateness of Natalie Portman as a female director.

"The focus of your shots on the characters is too deliberate, the foil effect of the surrounding environment and the lines are completely out of line, and the transition and processing of the picture are also very blunt." Evan-Bell expressed his point of view" "You know, The most important thing for a short film is to focus all the core ideas on one thing, and finish it with simple and neat camera language. The details are too complicated and delicate, but it makes the theme scattered."

Natalie Porter listened attentively, although she was far more senior than Evan Bell in the role of an actor, but in the role of a director, she only had to listen, "It's too deep, be more specific. ."

Evan-Bell said with a smile, "My fees for classes are not cheap." As a result, Natalie-Portman scowled.
