Chapter 1484

As a tourist resort as well as a resort, Venice is lively all year round, even in the cold winter. Warm sunshine, noisy crowd, lazy life, wonderful food, ancient buildings, rich culture and friendly people all attract people to come to the city, In the winter of the northern hemisphere, I secretly treasure the comfort and beauty of a ray of sunshine.

This is especially true during the carnival in February and the film festival in September.

This year is the special anniversary of the 70th anniversary of the Venice Film Festival. All the activities and ceremonies are different. Three days before the countdown to the opening ceremony, people from all over the world began to swarm into Italy, just like a rolling tide into this place floating on the edge of the Adriatic Sea.

The film festival has not officially opened, the bustling rumors and hot discussion has already started boiling ahead of time——

About the power struggle within the organizing committee, about the determination of Bernardo Bertolucci, the chairman of the jury, to support Italian films, about the concerns about the quality of works in the main competition unit, about the future development plan of the 70th anniversary fork in the film festival, and so on.

It is precisely because this is the special day of Venice's 70th anniversary that the Italian mainstream media and film industry leaders believe that this is a memorable year. If the Italian local film can stabilize the Golden Lion Award, it will be of positive significance for the future of the film festival and the development of the local film industry.

However, there are different voices within the organizing committee. Some people insist that the film festival should be a film festival, and everything is based on the film itself. Now it is not the film environment of the 1930s and 1940s. In order to support local films, we can learn from Berlin, but the film festival still needs to win by quality.

In other words, it's a debate about home court advantage.

It is often said that Italy is China in Europe. There are many similarities between the two countries, from culture to tradition, from customs to habits. As for the future development plan of Venice Film Festival, we can see a little.

It can be predicted that this year's main competition unit is bound to attract more attention; What's more, in order to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the festival, the Venice Film Festival has spent countless efforts and invited many big figures to come to the festival. Now looking back, we can't be sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. If we are not careful, we may be brewing an epic embarrassment.

However, the first big names to arrive in Venice are not in the mood to focus on the competition for the main competition unit. After all, there are still a few days before the opening of the film festival. The most popular character in recent days is Langley hall.

Andre Hamilton, the leader of Scotland's top whisky brand and the youngest son of the hereditary noble Duke of Hamilton, held a private party in the name of Langley hall, inviting guests to gather in their private houses to enjoy a beautiful night together and warm up for the global Premiere of gravity.

This private party has become a hot topic in the whole European film industry.

The reason is simple: there are only 200 party invitations.

If you look at the European film industry, there are not many top figures in the pyramid, but more than 200 people; In addition, some of the invitation letters were sent to the real nobles in Europe and Asia, covering Sweden, Britain, France, Denmark, Arabia and other countries that still retain the royal family and nobles.

In other words, this is a small group of top and most respected people, most of whom are names that have been heard but never met; Now, there are only 200 places open for this party, and no one can be an exception. This is the real weak water.

The competition has become much more intense than Oscar night.

Every elite and upper class are eager to receive an invitation, not only to expand their contacts or broaden their horizons, but also to prove their social status and to be among the so-called top class. It's not money, it's not glory, it's not fame, it's honor.

Because of this, the name of "Arthur hall" can be determined that each name is full of weight, low-key and luxurious. This is the real aristocratic party.

It is worth mentioning that all the invited London nobles attended the party.

For outsiders, they simply do not understand the context of the invitation, so they will not be able to understand the significance of today's invitation; For insiders, they know exactly what this invitation means, or what this party means.

Although the name of the invitation is Andre Hamilton, not Langley hall; Although the invitation is for young nobles aged 20 to 35, rather than the people in power who are now the masters of the family; Although the number of invitation is limited to 15, for a formal party, it can only be said to be a sprinkling of water.

However, every London aristocrat who did not attend clearly knew that this was the first time that Langley hall formally invited the aristocrats as an actor, not "the youngest son of the hall family"; Furthermore, this is the first time that Arthur hall officially held a private party in his personal capacity, building a bridge between the aristocracy and the film. Then, of course, the meaning is extraordinary.

When the 15 invited guests arrived in Venice, attended the party and enjoyed a wonderful night, the attitude of the upper class in London was obvious.

On the other side of the English channel, the British upper class began to speculate, does this mean that Langley will officially return to London's social circle?

However, their conjectures are all wrong - at least not 100% correct. On the one hand, it is Andre's idea that Langley invited London aristocrats. He hopes to improve the quality of the party, and it is undoubtedly the simplest to use his own contacts; On the other hand, it's Langley's idea, for Arthur.

Langley never mentioned it, but Arthur knew it.

Blue Li didn't give any affirmation on his mouth, but behind his back, he was doing his best to support him, just like he supported Edith at the beginning, now it's Arthur's turn.

This is not an important move for Langley. Even if he stands up for Arthur, it means a tit for tat confrontation with ALF, he doesn't care about ALF's mood at all; But for Arthur, it was vital support.

Everyone said that there was no family relationship between nobles. Arthur used to think so, but now he has changed his mind.

Behind a party, there is still a war without smoke, not as fierce as before, but it still exists.

Maybe no one cares about lanli's identity as an actor now, but compared with the professions of banker, lawyer and gallery owner, it seems that acting is still not a profession worth reading. Let alone aristocracy, even many upstarts or ordinary people don't care too much.

Lanli is destined to be a different kind.

But now there's another group of different people around Langley, Andre, Matthew, Eaton, Edith... And Arthur.

After the private party ended, almost no one could know the content and details of the party. Those top leaders were not willing to be interviewed at all. Even Alfonso Caron, Scarlett Johnson, Judy Dench and others who attended the party were all smiling and closed their mouths.

Then, another party was finished by you, and I came on stage. This time, the protagonist was still gravity, but the organizer became Warner Brothers.

On the night before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, Warner Bros. held a warm-up party for gravity. The party was still planned by Arthur hall, but the invitation object was much more approachable. Many celebrities who came to Venice to attend the festival received invitation letters, and even many top journalists were invited.

This is a simple premiere warm-up party, but it's different because of Arthur Hall's plan.
