1478 Late summer in Shuicheng
Renly answered carefully, and Arthur nodded gently..
As time went by, the topic expanded in a shallow way, without going into depth, but it was enough..
Arthur paused for a moment, "As the film opens in Venice, publicity must be the focus, so it definitely needs to hold a celebrity party on the island. Can you leave this party to me?？”
Finally said it out.
It was more difficult than I imagined, but once I opened my mouth, it was easier than I imagined. In just one appetizer, it was condensed into countless days and nights of tossing and turning, and everything seemed to happen in five minutes. within, but he has been waiting for this moment for too long.
Arthur didn't know whether his choice was right, nor did he know what challenges he would face in the future. However, he had to admit that at this moment, he was joyful and happy, as if he had finally breathed a breath of free air. Fear doesn't make life better, freedom does.
Before the smile on his lips could rise, Arthur felt a little uneasy, worried that Renly might refuse, worried that he might not do well, worried that Elf might be hurt, worried that George and Elizabeth might be furious... ...The feeling of worrying about gains and losses keeps surging in my chest..
“Okay." Renly said.
Arthur was slightly stunned and stared at Renly quietly. What was surprising was the answer, and what was even more surprising was the crispness of the answer. Without any hesitation or hesitation, he gave an affirmative answer..
Renly didn't wait for a response and nodded again, "I said, okay..”
Arthur was a little embarrassed. He quickly lowered his eyes to hide his panic, but just for a moment, he chose to give up hiding and raised his eyes to look at Renly again, calmly showing his true nature at this moment..
Then, Arthur looked at Renly in front of him, calmly maintaining the same sitting posture. He could not detect any fluctuations, but he could faintly catch a touch of relaxation. After coming back to his senses, Arthur gradually understood, " You did it on purpose, right?？”
Renly still didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't know what Arthur was talking about..
However, that calm look and gesture were something Arthur was all too familiar with. He knew that he had guessed it right. He shook his head helplessly, and at the end, a smile crept up the corner of Arthur's mouth again, " Leave the party before the official screening and the party after the opening ceremony to me." This is not a soliciting tone, but a commanding tone..
In fact, Arthur knows that top parties at such film festivals are definitely important occasions. Producers usually invite professionals to prepare, and formal invitations are even issued. For any party planner These are opportunities for self-expression that are hard to buy for money..
Don't say that Renly is just an actor. Even if he is a producer, he needs to be the one with real power among the producers to have the power to arrange party planners. In other words, Renly does not He must have the right to make the decision. Even if he takes action in person, he will definitely need to go through some negotiation and negotiation..
But in order to retaliate against Renly's teasing just now, Arthur deliberately made such a request, an excessive request..
Unexpectedly, Renly still had a light smile on his face, closed his eyes slightly again, and expressed his understanding, "Okay..”
Such a simple and clear answer made Arthur feel a little restless, but in the end he didn't say anything superfluous. He just nodded and accepted it calmly, showing a satisfied expression..
Elf said that Renly is a selfish guy. He always only thinks about himself and lives for himself, even leaving the family's reputation and glory behind..
Elf also said that Renly is a selfish guy, narcissistic and arrogant. He doesn't love anyone in the whole world but himself. Everyone else is expendable..
But, is this really the case?？
Or, aren't they like this? George Elizabeth Elf. What’s the difference between them?？
Killing the soul of every independent individual in the name of the family, in the final analysis, is for the so-called family glory and reputation, and to maintain their identity and status in upper class society. Elf asked Arthur to give up his persistence for the sake of the family, then How is it different from what George and Elizabeth originally asked for Renly?？
Arthur was a little confused. In other words, he knew the answer. He had been fed the same answer since he was a child, but he couldn't help but wonder: Is this really the case? Renly is the selfish one.？
Arthur's eyes fell on Renly for a long time, as if he really got to know Renly for the first time today..
Until Renly noticed something strange, raised his eyes and cast a questioning look, Arthur showed a smile, shook his head and expressed denial, "I was just wondering if I should call Andy. a guest list.”
“You can look for Andre, and his list will be more complete." Renly said with a smile, "He is also preparing for related work in Hollywood, and he should have a lot of job opportunities. If I remember correctly, he will be available soon. Andre was also looking for a suitable party planner before, maybe you can talk to him.”
Then, the main course was served.
In London outside the window, the drizzle has completely stopped. A ray of golden sunshine falls through the layers of clouds. The green sycamore trees and burgundy walls gradually become translucent in the gold. The whole city is heavy and heavy. and the depth quietly fade away, revealing bit by bit the youth and vitality that belongs here..
London always makes people want to wander around when it rains and the weather shines.
……
Quietly, August slipped through the fingertips, September's footsteps were already beating on the eardrums, and the red and yellow colors of golden autumn swept the world in an instant. At the same time, it is an annual event in Hollywood. The awards season has begun to slowly begin again. The craze for summer movies has not completely dissipated, and the film industry has begun to get busy again..
Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival are about to debut.
When I think of Berlin, what comes to my mind is the weight and seriousness of the ice and snow; when I think of Cannes, I naturally think of the sparkling sunshine and the sea; and when I think of Venice, what comes to mind?？
Is it the gondola walking through the canal path, with its long swaying paddle making waves, like a mother's embrace? Or is it the carnival every February, where everyone hides their face in the gorgeous Behind the mask, I gained the long-lost freedom.
Or maybe it's the girl's skirt blooming in the gentle sea breeze, her wheat-colored skin and bright red skirt corners, and her unrestrained and tender smile, which is enough to melt the heart of every passer-by; or it's the romance of wandering in the moonlight. , as beautiful as rippling water.
This is a fascinating and daunting city.
For Renly, the memory of Venice has always been the romance of walking through the winding water alleys. The moonlight falling on the sea faded little by little, outlining the figures of fishermen who got up early to go to sea. The smell of the sea was still mixed with the morning breeze. The moisture of the fog travels between the simple and dilapidated buildings, and the haziness and trance of staying up all night touch the other side of the world, which is as beautiful as a fairy tale world.
The laughter and sighs left on the water tell stories that no one knows..
Founded in 1932, the Venice Film Festival was the first film festival in the world at that time, and naturally the oldest film festival in the world. Known as the "Father of Film Festivals", it was the golden age of film from the 1930s to the 1960s. During this period, countless film masters were born here, and neither Berlin nor Cannes can compare with them..
But now, people’s emotions towards the Venice Film Festival are the most complicated. It can be said to be a mixture of love and hate..
The reason why I love it is because the Italians’ love for movies has not faded. They always open their warm arms to welcome movie lovers from all over the world. It is not as cold as Berlin, nor as commercial as Cannes. The audience You can always find your own place.
Not to mention the graceful scenery of Venice, just being in it is like a dream that is too romantic to wake up from, just like the water city under the lens of "Death in Venice", the city during the cholera period seemed It was filled with an aura of death, but it became wonderful because of this city and those people..
The reason for the hatred is because Italians are too paranoid about their love for their own films. Even though they welcome exhibitors and attendees from all over the world, the news media is always struggling with "Why has Italian film declined?" and "Why are we watching again in Venice this year?" Not great local movies?”.
Not to mention Venice’s high prices, humid weather and rotten buildings. This city built on the water cannot be renovated or rebuilt. The sea water and moisture are corroding the city bit by bit. All the buildings on this piece of land faintly reveal an aura of corruption and fragility..
Everyone is eager to come here and truly stand on this land, but they can’t help but regret it. Until they leave, that kind of reluctant attachment sprouts up again. This is a unique building. The city makes people resist and miss it at the same time.
Renly still likes it here.
It's not that I like this city, or that I like a certain island, but that I like the memories left in this city, those memory fragments of my youth in midsummer, hidden among the long and winding rivers, hidden in the clouds. In the falling morning mist, there is the fishy smell of sea water, wanton and flamboyant, as if even the sticky sweat on the skin is so fresh.
Those lazy afternoons, those murmurs in sleep, those bitter desperations, everything is left here.
