Alberto Barbera is a typical Italian. His deep facial features are marked by years. The hairline over sixty years old is receding. However, his neat short hair is slightly stained with gray and white, which still shows a mature and stable temperament. His broad shoulders and straight spine set off a basic suit with elegant demeanor, As the director of Italy's National Film Museum for many years, he burst out a scholarly atmosphere from the inside to the outside. He exuded a man's charm between his actions and actions. Years of polishing made that temperament more and more precipitation.
Who is he?
He is the current president of the Venice Film Festival! Langley didn't expect that Alberto was on the set. Even with all his imagination, he couldn't speculate that the elder, who only met once, would be in New Orleans - because they didn't really have much friendship.
But Alberto stood right in front of him.
The hale and hearty old man has his hands behind him and a gentle smile on his face. He doesn't have any special movements or gestures, but he always gives people the impression of "handsome". It's easy to make people feel close. It seems that it's OK to sit down and have a drink at any time.
Seeing Langley coming from a distance, Alberto asked, "what's up? Is the shooting over? Or is it coffee break? "
Coffee, with Italian characteristics of the opening remarks, Alberto's English with a strong accent, or to show his own characteristics.
Lanli chuckled. "Coffee time is over. It's time for a bottle of beer." In southern Europe, such as Italy and Spain, dinner time is usually after nine o'clock; After work in the evening, they will go to the pub in pairs, first enjoy a bottle of beer, relax and chat, relieve the fatigue of working all day, and then enjoy dinner.
Alberto grinned brightly. "Do you have the same habit here in America?"
"No, you know, this is America - the cultural desert." No make complaints about it. "If you go to a bar, there is only one reason: you want to drink." Or to watch football. "
"Ha, I don't agree with rugby, but I agree with football. What else can match a beer and a game? " Said Alberto brightly.
"I don't know. A movie and a bucket of popcorn?"
"Haha, no, no, for Italians, nothing can be compared with football, not even movies." Alberto waved his hand and said with a smile. He was not partial because of his identity. He was still very firm and expressed his ideas directly.
"So should the UK." Lanli didn't mind either, and said, "but obviously, the land under our feet is another model."
Alberto opened his hands and looked at lanli, expressing his helplessness. He looked around, then lowered his voice deliberately. "I think we'd better stop here. If we go on, we don't know what will happen. I can't shake my fist now. "
"A bottle of beer? We can find an Italian restaurant, so it's much safer - I strongly don't recommend that you watch with British fans Lan Li answered casually.
Alberto burst out laughing. "If they play Germany, it's OK."
A short opening speech, Langley and Alberto did not greet, did not ask, so chatting about coffee and football, the atmosphere is very harmonious. Although they only met in Venice a year ago, meeting again has no effect, just like a long time no see friend.
"May I introduce you to the crew?" "You shouldn't be interested in commercial movies, though," Langley said friendly
"No, no, I'm very interested in commercial movies. 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, which should have been self mocking, but his expression was so sincere that he had no sense of humor. However, Alberto did not continue to say, but turned to look at the scene of the cast. "I came to visit the cast specially. Out of politeness, I should say hello to you. How about, would you like to introduce me?"
"Of course, my pleasure." Lan Li said gracefully.
Then, Langley led Alberto to visit the crew, 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 unreachable sacred stage. Even though Venice has been left behind by Cannes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the world influence of Shuicheng is still among the top ranks, which is definitely the dream place of the actors. As the president of Venice, Alberto is the most influential first-class actor in the whole European film industry.
There was a bit of excitement in the cast.
Alberto kept enough patience, which was a part of his work. He met with the crew one by one, and then visited the crew. He sincerely appreciated the warm welcome of the crew and said, "I hope to see you in Venice in the future."
Alberto even half jokingly said that he sincerely hoped that "Jurassic world" could change its release schedule and go to Venice to hold its global premiere, which should be very interesting.
Although everyone knows that this is just a polite remark, excitement and excitement still can't help surging up, and all eyes are cast towards lenley. They all know that if the film wants to go to Venice Film Festival, the only thing that can promote the whole thing is lenley
Didn't you see that? Alberto has come to visit New Orleans in person! No matter what the purpose is, Alberto did not choose to communicate by telephone, but went to the door in person, which is very rare. This honor is absolutely one of the top treatment in Hollywood.
In the face of Alberto's jokes and the expectations of the crew, Langley was dumbfounded and said, "don't make a wish, or it will come true." That meaningful look is to look at Alberto, he is aware of the Venice Film Festival situation, Alberto is far from looking so free.
This made Alberto a little embarrassed. He could only shake his head repeatedly. "I heard that lanli was a eloquent man before, but now he has a real feeling."
The cast members all burst into laughter, but after calming down, they realized that there should be no hope to go to Venice. To be more precise, hope was extinguished before it was ignited. Turning around, everyone was relieved. Anyway, this work was not aimed at the film festival, was it?
Then, the crew went back to work.
Alberto's choice of time to visit the crew is very ingenious. It's approaching the end of the whole day's work. The main parts of lenley and Bryce have been shot. Finally, the crew has shot three more side shots. Alberto is not impatient to wait around to watch the shooting, waiting for the crew to finish all the shooting, and then he leaves the crew, Turn around and leave with lenley.
"Why did he come to visit Langley?"
"Is there any cooperation between Raleigh and Venice?"
"I didn't come here to invite lanli to be the judge, did I?"
After Langley and Alberto left the cast, everyone began to chatter, unable to hide their excitement and excitement. After the word "judge" was put forward, the scene became more explosive.
"No? Lanli is only twenty-four years old! The 24-year-old judges of three major film festivals? That's an exaggeration
"Why not? The judges of the three major European film festivals are involved in a wide range of subjects. Age is not a consideration, but influence and professional strength are, OK? "
"That's it. And the jury list in Venice is really full of confusion. I often can't understand it."
"I think Venice is good, Berlin is really not understand, OK?"
"The point is, I think lanli is fully qualified. He is constantly making history."
"Don't think about it any more. Anyway, it's impossible this year. The jury list of Venice has been announced. There is no blue rite."
"What about next year?"
"Next year is too early to mention now."
"Ah... That's a pity. I really think it's good for lanli to be a judge."
This is true of the composition of the jury of the three major European film festivals. Every year there are unexpected unexpected unexpected events. Some unheard of names often appear, and even names that have no direct connection with the film industry. 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 rhythm and style tone, but even the chairman is no lack of surprise.
For example, the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival was eventually presided over by the French composer Alexander Desplat.
It's not that Alexandre dipura is not qualified, nor does it have anything to do with the composer's identity - in fact, he is a master in the European film soundtrack industry, "Queen", "rejuvenate", "King's speech", "Philomena", "Budapest Hotel", "hunting Ben * *," Godzilla "," fleeing Teheran ", etc "Imitation game" and other works are all his representative works. His strength and glory can stand the test absolutely.
However, it's more or less unexpected for dipra to be the chairman of the jury, because composers tend to look at the film from a slightly different perspective and in a slightly different way, which undoubtedly adds many variables to the selection of this year's Golden Lion awards. People can't help but wonder about the direction of the final awards.
Well, if dipura can be the chairman of the jury of Venice, it's no surprise that Randy will be a member of the jury. Although he is only 24 years old this year, even now Randy is the chairman of the jury of the three major European film festivals, it shouldn't be too frightening.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it may not be the invitation of the judges.
