tearjerker director

Chapter 573 Difficult to watch, explosive points one after another

"So, "Cinema Paradiso" will participate in next year's Venice Film Festival?" Zhou Qingquan asked again.

All the media reporters looked at Li Yi with curiosity and excitement.

It is an Italian film, and it still won the help of director Berto Manning, the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival and a famous Italian director.

So, wouldn't it be a matter of course for this film to compete for next year's Venice Film Festival?
Could it be that Li Yi is going to go to the Venice Film Festival after winning the Oscar for Best Picture and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival?
And with the relationship of Berto Manning, the probability of winning is very high!

Everyone knows that the three major European film festivals also have their own unspoken rules. Moreover, the power of the chairman of the jury can be said to be very powerful. In many cases, the preferences of the chairman of the jury can directly affect the final ownership of the award. .

And Li Yi's "Paradise Cinema" is really promising.

Not to mention anything else, the birth of this movie is quite miraculous, and there are such stories outside of the movie, so as long as the movie is not bad, the probability of winning the award is really very high!

Although it may not be possible to win the Golden Lion Award, but the Silver Lion Award is always possible, right?

"Director Manning did mention it, of course, it still depends on the final film." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Paradise Cinema" Li Yi is still relatively confident. The three major film festivals are different from each other and compete with each other for influence.

Cannes produced a double-egg golden palm and gave it to Li Yi, making this gimmick a popular story, and it also attracted countless attention to the Cannes Film Festival this year.

And "Paradise Cinema" is the same for the Venice Film Festival. As long as the Venice Film Festival has an idea to increase its influence, then give such a film, directed by Li Yi, a famous director in Huaguo, but it turns out to be a local story in Italy. The movie, and such an amazing birth process, is enough to make this movie a gimmick that makes the media write a lot.

What's more, this movie can be described as a love letter to movies. I believe that for any filmmaker, it is difficult for them to refuse such a movie.

For the Venice Film Festival, naturally, it will not be easy to let this film go away empty-handed.

Of course, there is also a premise for this, "Cinema Paradiso" must at least have that taste.

After everyone listened, everyone was very excited.

Many people have even begun to prepare the headline of this news in their hearts.

"Li Yi's new work "Cinema Paradise" was favored by the former jury chairman of the Venice Film Festival, and may be booked for awards at the Venice Film Festival next year!"

It can be said that this trip was really worth it. By the way, it would be even better if we could interview Director Berto Manning himself.

"Director Manning." Zhou Qingquan said, and then looked at Li Yi with hope.

Li Yi immediately understood Zhou Qingquan's thoughts.

He thought for a while and shook his head: "I can say hello, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to accept your interview!"

Although Li Yi said so, they all thought it was right!
Don't say that the domestic media worship foreigners. In fact, such opportunities are really rare.

The influence of the Venice Film Festival is still great.

In the past, some domestic celebrities stood next to a famous foreign director, took a photo or something, and there were a lot of things that such and such a famous director had a good conversation with XXX.

This kind of news that is known to be a show at first glance can make many netizens talk about it, not to mention the real interview with a director like Berto Manning, and it is still true. You can ask him about Li Yi. , Views on Li Yi's new movie.

The fact is also as they thought.

Bertolt Manning couldn't possibly say no to this kind of thing.

After all, on the one hand, he helped Li Yi out of his liking for Li Yi's movies, and on the other hand, he hoped that through Li Yi, through Li Yi's movies, the Venice Film Festival could win the Huaguo market The purpose of more attention?

Therefore, he has no reason to refuse this kind of thing.

Sure enough, Li Yi called Bertoll Manning and said that domestic reporters came here, hoping to interview director Bertoll Manning.

The old man agreed without saying a word, and he will come over soon.

This news can be said to make the many reporters who came here feel like chicken blood.

This trip was really worth it, and Li Yi really gave them face.

There are too many dry goods. It can be said that after this trip, after returning, there is no need to worry about news materials for about a week, and it must be the headline news.

Look, Venice Film Festival, Italian cinema.

Italian film circle, hall-level director.

Wait, wait, it's all news that domestic netizens love to watch!

And then they interviewed Jill Toledo, which gave them a lot of surprises.

The reactions of many foreigners and domestic people are completely different when facing the camera.

Many domestic people are usually more reserved when interviewed by the media, but Jill Toledo is different.

He cooperated very well, and the content he talked about was also popular among domestic journalists.

And Jill Toledo admired Li Yi very much, and at the same time, he was extremely grateful to Li Yi for letting him become the assistant director of this movie.

In addition, this movie is inextricably linked to his family, him, and his grandfather.

So, what reason does he have to add oil and vinegar to the story without exaggeration before telling these media reporters from China?

As for the domestic reporters, they heard that Gil Toledo was full of coincidences, magic, and unbelievable fate, which made everyone feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Li Yi heard a story told by someone. In the story, there was a Paradise Cinema in Sicily, so Li Yi came here to search for it, and he really found it.

It just so happened that when Li Yi found this Paradise Cinema, he actually met Jill Toledo, a movie lover, who was making a movie.

The two sides got acquainted because of this, and as a result, the story of his grandfather told by Gil Toledo and the story Li Yi heard overlapped a lot.

Isn't this fate?
It even made all of them feel that the story outside the movie is more exciting than the movie?
As expected, you, the dog director, can do things in tourism.

And it's such a big deal.

Directly book an award-winning film at the Venice Film Festival.

The source of inspiration of the movie, the process of the birth of the movie, the process of Li Yi being discovered and bumped into, etc., etc., are enough for them to write a special book.

And soon, Mr. Berto Manning came.

Director Berto Manning also seemed very enthusiastic about the reporters from China.

After figuring out the identity and status of this old man in the Italian film circle and in the European film circle, the domestic reporters paid more attention to this old man.
