2053 of great importance
Alberto Barbera is a typical Italian. His deep facial features bear traces of time. His hairline, which is over sixty years old, is receding, but his neat and neat short hair is slightly dyed with gray and gray. It is white, but it still shows a mature and stable temperament. The broad shoulders and straight spine make it look elegant in a basic suit. Because of its many years of serving as the director of the Italian National Film Museum, it exudes a bookish atmosphere from the inside out. , every move exudes a manly charm, and the years of polishing have made that temperament more and more settled..
who is he？
He is the current president of the Venice Film Festival! Renly never expected that it would be Alberto who appeared on the set. Even with all his imagination, he could not guess that this old man, whom he had only met once, would actually appear in New Orleans - because there were really not many people between them. Friendship is possible.
But Alberto stood right in front of me like this.
This energetic old man has his hands behind his back and an elegant smile on his face. He has no special movements or postures, but invisibly, he always creates a "handsome" impression in people's minds. He can easily impress people. Creates a sense of closeness, and seems to have no problem sitting down and having a drink at any time.
Seeing Renly coming towards him from a distance, Alberto took the initiative to ask, "How's it going? Is the filming over? Or is it coffee break time now?"？”
Coffee, the Italian-style opening remarks, and Alberto’s English with a thick accent still showed his own characteristics..
Renly chuckled, "The coffee time has passed, and now it should be time for a bottle of beer." In southern European regions such as Italy and Spain, dinner time is usually after nine o'clock; after get off work in the evening, they will all have three-and-five Head to the small bar as a couple to relax and chat over a bottle of beer before having dinner.
Alberto laughed heartily, "We also have this habit here in the United States.？”
“No, you know, this is America - a cultural desert." Renly complained without hesitation. "If you go to a bar, there is only one reason: to drink. Or to watch football..”
“Ha, I don't agree with rugby, but I agree with football. What else can compare to a glass of beer and a game? "Alberto said cheerfully.
Renly spread his hands, "I don't know, a movie and a bucket of popcorn.？”
“Haha, no, no, no, for Italians, nothing can compare with football, not even movies." Alberto waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, without any bias because of his identity, his attitude remained the same. Very firm and expressed his thoughts directly.
“The same should be true for Britain." Renly didn't mind, and said along the way, "But obviously, the land under our feet is a different model..”
Alberto spread his hands and looked at Renly, expressing his helplessness. He glanced around, and then deliberately lowered his voice, "I think we should stop this topic here. Let's continue. , we don’t know what will happen, I can’t shake my fist now.”
“Then a bottle of beer? We can find an Italian restaurant, which will be much safer - I strongly advise against watching the game with British fans." Renly replied easily..
Alberto laughed cheerfully, "If they play against the German team, that's no problem..”
After a brief opening, Renly and Alberto neither greeted nor asked, just chatting about coffee and football, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Although the two had only met once in Venice a year ago, but again Meeting has no impact, just like a long-lost friend.
“Do you need me to introduce you to the crew? "Renly said kindly, "Although you should not be interested in commercial movies..”
“No, no, I'm very interested in commercial films, and I don't want to make the same mistake last year again. No one can underestimate the power of 'Gravity'. Obviously, I made a mistake." Alberto said sincerely, It was supposed to be a self-deprecating joke, but because his expression was so sincere, there was no sense of humor. However, Alberto did not continue, but turned to look at the crew, "I came here specially Visiting, out of politeness, I should say hello to everyone, how about you, would you like to introduce me?？”
“Of course, it's my pleasure." Renly said calmly..
Afterwards, Renly led Alberto to visit the set and introduced Colin, Bryce, Nick, Jack and others to Alberto..
For the directors and actors of "Jurassic World", the Venice Film Festival is still an out-of-reach sacred stage - even though Venice has now been left behind by Cannes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the water city's global influence It is still among the top ranks and is definitely a dream place for actors. As the chairman of Venice, Alberto is a first-level big shot with strong influence in the entire European film industry..
The crew is a bit lively.
Alberto remained patient enough, which was an integral part of his job. He was really at home, meeting the crew members one by one, and then took a small tour of the crew, and sincerely thanked the crew for their warm welcome. “Hope to see you again in Venice in the future.”
Alberto even half-jokingly expressed that he sincerely hopes that "Jurassic World" can change its release schedule and go to Venice for its world premiere. That should be very interesting..
Although everyone knew that this was just a polite word, the excitement and excitement could not help but surge up. All eyes were directed towards Renly. They all knew that if the film wanted to go to the Venice Film Festival, The only one who could possibly push this whole thing forward is Renly.：
Didn't you see it? Alberto even came to New Orleans to visit the class in person! No matter what the purpose was, Alberto did not choose to communicate on the phone but came to the door in person. This is very rare. This honor is definitely one of the few top-level treatment in Hollywood..
Faced with Alberto's joking and the crew's expectations, Renly laughed dumbly, "Don't make wishes casually, otherwise your wishes will most likely come true." That meaningful look was directed at Alberto. He knew the situation at the Venice Film Festival, and Alberto was far from as free as he seemed..
This made Alberto a little embarrassed, and he could only shake his head repeatedly, "I heard before that Renly was a very eloquent person, but now I have a real sense of it..”
The crew members all laughed, but after calming down, they all realized: there should be no hope of going to Venice. To be more precise, the hope was extinguished before it was ignited. When they turned their heads, everyone was relieved. Come on, this work wasn’t originally aimed at film festivals, was it?？
Afterwards, the crew went back to work again.
Alberto chose a very clever time to visit the crew. It was nearing the end of a long day's work. The main scenes of Renly and Bryce had been filmed. Finally, the crew filmed three more side-shot scenes. Alberto He waited patiently and watched the filming, waiting for the crew to finish all filming. Then he said goodbye to the crew and turned to leave with Renly..
“Why did he come to visit Renly?？”
“Could it be that Renly has some cooperation with Venice?？”
“Didn't he come here specially to invite Renly to be a judge?？”
After Renly and Alberto left the crew, everyone began to chatter, unable to conceal their excitement and excitement. After the word "judge" was mentioned, the scene became even more heated..
“No way? Renly is only twenty-four! A twenty-four-year-old judge at three major film festivals? This is too exaggerated！”
“Why not? The judges of the three major European film festivals have a wide range of backgrounds. Age is not a consideration, influence and professional strength are, okay?？”
“It is, and the jury list in Venice is really confusing. I often can’t understand it..”
“I think Venice has already figured it out, but Berlin is the one that really doesn’t understand, okay?？”
“The point is, I think Renly is fully qualified. He is constantly making history..”
“Don’t think too much, it’s impossible this year anyway, the Venice jury list has been announced, there is no Renly.”
“What about next year?？”
“It's too early to mention next year now..”
“Ah...that's such a pity. I really think it's good to have Renly as a judge..”
The composition of the juries of the three major European film festivals is indeed like this. Every year, there are always some unexpected surprises. Some names that have never been heard of often appear, and even names that have no direct connection with the film industry. , and age is often the least important factor.
Compared with the list of jury members, the chairman of the jury is the one who grasps the core of the entire rhythm and style tone, but even the chairman has his share of surprises.
For example, the jury of this year’s Venice Film Festival was ultimately chaired by French composer Alexander-Desplat..
This is not to say that Alexandre Dupra is not qualified, nor does it have anything to do with his identity as a composer - in fact, he is a master in the European film scoring industry, including "The Queen", "The King of Youth", "The King's Speech", "Philomena" ", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "The Hunt for Ben", "Godzilla", "Escape from Tehran", "The Imitation Game" and other works are all his masterpieces. His strength and glory are definitely worthy of his reputation. to test.
However, it is more or less surprising that Dupra serves as the chairman of the jury, because composers often have slightly different perspectives and ways of viewing movies. This undoubtedly adds many variables to the selection of this year's Golden Lion Award. One can’t help but wonder where the final awards will go..
So, if Dupra can serve as the chairman of the jury in Venice, it will not be surprising at all if Renly serves as a member of the jury. Although he is only twenty-four years old this year, Renly even serves as a judge at the three major European film festivals. Chairman of the League, you shouldn’t be too frightened..
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it may be... not an invitation from the judges..
