tearjerker director

Chapter 572 The media people who are swarming, all beaten

The domestic media is more efficient than Li Yi imagined.

On the second day alone, Li Yi met media reporters from all over the country.

Among them are several familiar faces.

Li Wen from Penguin Entertainment and Zhou Qingquan from Movie Weekly.

Reporters from CCTV, Kumao Entertainment, Southern Weekend, etc. also came.

The group of people was not small, because none of them came alone, at least they brought a photographer with them.

They came from afar, so Li Yi naturally would not refuse their interview.

After all, everyone carries the sedan chair.

Therefore, Li Yi specially asked Jill Toledo to entertain this group of domestic media reporters.

"Director Li, you are really good. You came to this small town in Italy to shoot a new film. No wonder no one in China can't find you." Li Wen couldn't help laughing.

"Actually, I came here only for tourism. As for making a movie, it was purely an accident, or a coincidence." Li Yi replied with a smile.

All the reporters were surprised.

"It seems that there is a story in it? Director Li, you know, those of us in the media like to listen to stories the most." Zhou Qingquan joked with a smile.

"It's not that you media people like to listen to stories, but the public likes to listen to stories, right?" Li Yi retorted with a smile.

"It's all the same, haha, it's all the same!" Li Wen and other media reporters who came from afar from China couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard Li Yi's words.

They entertainment media reporters must like to listen to stories, especially stories about famous directors like Li Yi and his movies.

There is nothing wrong with what Li Yi said. It is because domestic netizens like to watch this kind of stories with stories, and as media people, they naturally have to do what they like.

Why did they rush over this trip?
It's because Li Yi's appearance in Sicily, Italy this time is very special.

And the way of being discovered is even more special. In addition, Li Yi's "War Meridian" has only just been released, so a new film has started?

What type of movie is the new film?

Why did travel become a job?

Why was it filmed here in Sicily?
Wait, wait, they are full of questions, and this is also the question that domestic movie fans are most concerned about.

"Director Li, is it convenient to answer some questions first?" Li Wen asked.

"You are all here, can I say no? You can ask!" Li Yi shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Are you really here to travel?" Li Wen asked first.

The others also looked curious.

"I really came here for a tour! As you all know, "War Meridian" hadn't been released at that time, and the donkeys in the production team didn't dare to use it like this, do you think so? I also need to rest, so I came here Traveling." Li Yi replied with a smile.

"Then why did it suddenly become a movie again? By the way, I don't know the name of the movie yet?" Zhou Qingquan asked.

"It's a long story. The reason why I came here is actually because I heard a story about this place, so it can be regarded as a purpose. There is a movie theater in that story, called Paradise Cinema, so I said I thought about coming here to find out if there really is a Paradise Cinema.”

"So, you found it?" Someone asked again.

"Yes, I found it, no, that's Paradise Cinema." Li Yi pointed to an old building not far away with a rusty signboard that said "Paradise Cinema" in Italian.

"Actually, when I first came here, I met someone else filming." Li Yi said with a smile again.

Li Yi's words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. This is really a magical experience.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Gil Toledo. I met him at the time and he was filming. However, he is not a serious director, but a film lover. What he wants to shoot is about him. A love story that my grandfather once had in this movie theater."

"By the way, I forgot to mention that this Paradise Cinema belongs to their family!" Li Yi continued.

Everyone couldn't help looking at Gil Toledo who was standing aside.

"For the rest, in fact, you can go and interview Gil Toledo first. He knows everything about me and this movie!" Li Yi smiled to the group of reporters from China they said.

"We will interview him, but Director Li, we are all here, so you can talk more." Everyone said one after another.

"Okay, what else do you want to ask?" Li Yi said helplessly.

"Is this movie called "Paradise Cinema"?" A reporter asked.

"Yes, this movie is called "Paradise Cinema"!" Li Yi nodded.

"Is it convenient to reveal the content?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The movie is about this theater, this small town, a friendship that we made years ago, an unforgettable first love, and an unforgettable childhood. It can be said that what I hope to show through the movie is everyone's childhood. Everyone's hometown, everyone's first love. I hope that after watching this movie, people will inadvertently discover their own shadow, about youth, about love, about dreams."

"Then why was it filmed here, and it was an Italian movie?" Li Wen asked.

"Because, the story I heard originated from here. I actually thought about adapting it into our domestic movie, and even approved the project at the beginning, but it was shelved in the end, because, I always feel that the adaptation , The background has changed, so the taste has also changed, the story originally happened here, so filming that story here is the original flavor." Li Yi said with a light smile.

"Actually, this movie can start shooting so quickly, and I have to thank one person!" Li Yi brought up another topic that everyone was very interested in.

"Thank you for a person?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I would like to thank director Bertoll Manning, because you know, I am here, I am not familiar with the place, and I just met Gil Toledo, but he is just a movie lover, not A real filmmaker, Jill helped me find the director Berto Manning, who also happened to live in Palermo, Sicily. After hearing the story of "Paradise Cinema", he helped me set up the crew and found a suitable filmmaker. The assistant director also helped me find a group of very suitable actors, so the filming can start so smoothly." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Berto Manning? Is it directed by the famous Italian director Berto Manning? The chairman of the jury at the Venice Film Festival last year?" Others are still a little unfamiliar with Berto Manning, but Zhou Qingquan of Film Weekly is very familiar with it. .

"Yes, it's Director Manning!" Li Yi nodded.

Everyone's eyes are shining with gold, which is another big hit.

Berto Manning, a legendary director in Italy, has also served as the jury, judge, chairman and so on of the Venice Film Festival for many times.

Zhou Qingquan popularized Berto Manning's identity to everyone, and immediately every media reporter felt as if he had been beaten to death.
