Alberto Barbera is a typical Italian. His deep facial features bear the traces of time. The hairline of more than 60 years is receding, but his neat and tidy short hair is slightly stained with gray and White, but still showing a mature and stable temperament, broad shoulders and upright spine lined up a basic suit style. Because of the relationship between the director of the National Film Museum of Italy for many years, he burst into a book from the inside out. , There is a masculine charm in every gesture, and the tempering of the years has made that temperament more and more settled.

Who is he?

He is the current chairman of the Venice Film Festival! Lan Li did not expect at all that it was Alberto who appeared on the crew. Even with exhaustive imagination, he could not guess that this one-sided elder would actually appear in New Orleans because the two really didn’t have much friendship. Words.

But Alberto stood in front of him like this.

This energetic old man has his hands behind his back, with an elegant smile on his face, no special gestures or gestures, but invisible but always makes people think of "handsome" impressions, which can make people easily. I feel close, and it seems that it’s okay to sit down and have a drink at any time.

Seeing Lan Li approaching from a distance, Alberto asked, "How is it, is the filming work finished? Or is it time for coffee break?"

Coffee, an opening statement with Italian characteristics, Alberto's English with a strong accent still shows his own characteristics.

Lan Li laughed lightly, "Coffee time has passed, it should be time for a bottle of beer." In southern Europe, such as Italy and Spain, dinner time is usually after nine o'clock; after get off work in the evening, they will be three or five. Go to the small bar in pairs, enjoy a bottle of beer, relax, chat and chat, alleviate the fatigue of working all day, and then have dinner.

Alberto laughed heartily, "Is there such a habit here in America?"

"No, you know, this is the American cultural desert." Lan Li said without hesitation, "If you go to a bar, then there is only one reason: I want to drink. Or to watch football."

"Ha, I don't approve of football, but I approve of football. What else can be compared to a glass of beer and a game?" Alberto said heartily.

Lan Li spread his hands, "I don't know, a movie and a bucket of popcorn?"

"Haha, no, no, no, for Italians, nothing can be compared with football, not even in movies." Alberto waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile, without any partiality because of his identity, his attitude Still very firm, he expressed his thoughts directly.

"It should be the same in Britain." Lan Li didn't mind, and said along the way, "but obviously, the land under our feet is another model."

Alberto spread his hands and looked at Lan Li, expressing his helplessness, glanced around, and then deliberately lowered his voice, "I think we should stop here on this topic. 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, so it is much safer. I strongly don't recommend you to watch the game with the British fans." Lan Li replied easily.

Alberto laughed straight out and said, "If they play against the German team, then it's okay."

In a short opening remark, both Renly and Alberto did not greet or inquire. They just chatted about coffee and football, but the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. Although the two had only met in Venice a year ago, seeing each other again has no effect, as if they had not seen each other for a long time.

"Need me to introduce you to the crew?" Lan Li said kindly, "though you should not be interested in commercial films."

"No, no, I am very interested in commercial films. I don't want to make the mistake of last year again. No one can underestimate the energy of'gravity'. Obviously, I made a mistake." Alberto said sincerely. It was supposed to be a self-deprecating ridicule, but because his expression was so sincere that he lost his sense of humor, Alberto did not continue to speak, but turned to look at the scene of the crew, "I made a special trip here. The crew is visiting, out of courtesy, I should greet you, how about it, would you like to recommend it?"

"Of course, my honor." Lan Li Luoluo said generously.

Then, Lan Li led Alberto to visit the crew and introduced Colin, Blyth, Nick, Jack and others to Alberto.

For the directors and actors of "Jurassic World", the Venice Film Festival is still an unreachable sacred stage. Even though Venice has now been thrown down by Cannes, the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the world influence of Water City remains. Being among the top ranks is definitely the dream place of actors. As the chairman of Venice, Alberto is the first-level leader with strong influence in the entire European film industry.

The crew is a bit lively.

Alberto remained patient enough. This was originally part of his work. He was really in a good position to meet the crew members one by one, and then visited the crew a little bit, and sincerely thanked the crew for their warm welcome. "I hope I have a chance to see you again in Venice in the future."

Alberto even said half-jokingly that he sincerely hopes that "Jurassic World" can change the release schedule and go to Venice for its world premiere. That should be very interesting.

Although everyone knows that this is just a polite remark, excitement and excitement can't help but flow up, and all eyes are projected towards Lan Li. They all know that if the film wants to go to the Venice Film Festival, The only thing that can promote the whole thing is Lan Li:

Didn’t you see it? Alberto has come to visit New Orleans himself! No matter what the purpose is, Alberto did not choose to communicate over the phone but went to the door in person. This is very rare. This honor is definitely one of the top treatments in Hollywood.

Faced with Alberto’s joking and the crew’s expectations, Lan Li laughed blankly, “Don’t make a wish casually, or the wish will most likely come true.” The meaningful look was at Alberto, he Knowing the situation of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto is far from as free as it seems.

This made Alberto a little embarrassed, he could only shake his head again and again, "I heard that Lan Li is an eloquent man before, and now I have a real sense of reality."

The crew members all burst into laughter, but after calming down, they realized that there should be no hope for going to Venice. To be more precise, hope was extinguished before it was ignited, and when you turned your head, everyone was relieved. Anyway, this work was originally not aimed at the film festival, was it?

Subsequently, the crew went to work again.

Alberto chose the time to visit the crew very cleverly. It was approaching the end of a full day's work. The main scenes of Renly and Bryce had already been filmed. Finally, the crew shot three more side-shot scenes, Alberto I didn't rush to watch the filming and waited for all the filming of the crew to finish. Then I left the crew and turned to leave with Lan Li.

"Why did he come to visit Lanly?"

"Could it be that Renly and Venice have any cooperation?"

"Isn't it a special trip to invite Lan Li to serve as a judge?"

After Lan Li and Alberto left the crew, everyone started to talk, and it was difficult to conceal their excitement and excitement. After the word "judges" was proposed, the scene became even more fraught.

"No? Lan Li is only twenty-four years old! Twenty-four-year-old judge of the three major film festivals? This is an exaggeration!"

"Why not? The judges of the three major European film festivals have been involved in a wide range of subjects. Age is not a consideration, but influence and professional strength are the factors, okay?"

"That's right, and the list of the jury in Venice is really full of confusion. I often don't understand it."

"I think Venice is already calculated, but Berlin is really incomprehensible, okay?"

"The point is, I think Lan Li is fully qualified. He is always making history."

"Don't think too much about it. It's impossible this year anyway. The list of Venice's jury has been announced, and there is no blue gift."

"What about next year?"

"Next year is too early. It is impossible to mention next year now."

"Ah...that's a shame. I really think that Lan Li is a good judge."

The composition of the jury of the three major European film festivals is indeed like this. Every year, there are always unexpected surprises that are not big or small. There are often names that have not been heard before, 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 members of the jury, the chairman of the jury is the position to grasp the core of the rhythm and the tone of the style, but even the chairman is not without surprises.

For example, the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival ~lightnovelpub.net~ was finally chaired by the French composer Alexander Dipra (alexander-).

It’s not that Alexander Dipura is not qualified, nor that he is a composer. In fact, he is a master in the European film music industry, such as "Queen", "Rejuvenation", "King's Speech", "Filo Mena", "Budapest Hotel", "Hunting the Ben**", "Godzilla", "Escape from Tehran", "Imitation Game" and other works are all his masterpieces. His strength and glory can definitely stand the test. of.

However, it is more or less surprising that Dipura is the chairman of the jury, because the composer’s perspective and way of examining the film are often slightly different. This undoubtedly adds a lot of variables to the selection of this year’s Golden Lion Awards. People can't help but be a little curious about the direction of the final award.

So, if Dipura can serve as the chairman of the jury in Venice, it is no surprise that Renly is a member of the jury, although he is only 24 years old this year, and even now Renly is the judge of the three major European film festivals. The chairman of the delegation should not be too frightened.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it might be... not the invitation of the judges.
