Before the unveiling of the 857

The third update today, please subscribe, please recommend!

Lido Island is a narrow island no more than eleven miles long and is a well-known health resort. The long sandy beach along the Adriatic side of the island becomes an annual summer resort. As the venue of the Venice Film Festival, Lido Island is always lively in September every year, but this situation is only limited to summer, and when the tourist off-season comes, not even a person can be seen on the island.

Coming to Venice during the Venice Film Festival is obviously the busiest time of the year. The carnival young people went all the way from the pier along the coastline, and under the bright sunshine, people clearly felt the atmosphere of "feast". In the streets and alleys, young people with film festival work cards can be seen riding bicycles constantly, making final preparations for the upcoming film festival.

Along the Adriatic coast on the side of the main island, the open-air cafes along the road decorate the island leisurely, and facing the Venetian Lagoon, you can also see the romantic black pointed boat gondola. Walking through the river and the sea, the characteristic mansions, churches and monasteries with pointed roofs and colored window lintels in sight reveal a rich antique flavor, making people think that they have entered the 18th century.

At least half the length of the island facing the Adriatic Sea is a beach. Under the calm sea, the golden sand covered by the sun and the slowly sloping riverbed are the best places to enjoy the sun and sand. At the northern and southern ends of the island there are two huge public beaches, one of the most important in Italy. Thanks to the beautiful environment, many films have chosen to shoot here. The famous German writer Thomas Mann's "Soulbroken Venice" was completed on this beach.

When you come to Venice, no one will not linger for its unique water city charm. After walking through all kinds of stone roads, narrow streets, and countless bridges all day long, the tranquility and serenity of Lido Island is just right. is what tourists need. Lido Island is the most "relaxed" place in Venice, with long and charming beaches and hotels with different characteristics. Here, even breathing has a relaxing atmosphere and a unique Venetian charm.

Lido Island is very small. It is a well-known area for the wealthy because it operates vacation and recuperation industries, so life is relatively simple, and the prices are much more expensive than the main island. Every time during the film festival, the room rate of a small hotel rises to more than two hundred dollars per night. Few film crews will stay in hotels-because of such a large amount of expenses, it is very difficult for film crews to participate in film festivals. It is a heavy burden, and everyone will choose to live in an apartment or a villa.

The entire crew lived together, went in and out together, cooked together, had long conversations at night, and argued for the movie. Local residents are very happy to rent out their apartments or villas. In just a dozen days, the general rent is more than 1,000 euros. It is very cost-effective for them to sit on the ground and collect money.

Even with the high price tag, these homes are in high demand and need to be booked in advance. As early as when "Mysterious Skin" decided to sign up for the Venice Film Festival, Teddy Bell asked the international public relations to find a house on Lido Island and paid a deposit of 800 euros in advance, obviously full of confidence in Evan Bell : You know, if "Mystery Skin" is not shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, then the 800 euros will be lost.

The location of the "Mysterious Skin" crew is a villa by the sea. Blake Lively and Amanda Seyfried live in a room. After the two entered the room, they began to unpack their luggage and put themselves The clothes and cosmetics were taken out and placed. Close the door, open the window, and breathe in the smell of the sea.

Blake Lively stood in front of the window, facing the sea breeze, and there were all kinds of trivial sounds in the air. The residents knew each other and stood on the side of the road chatting loudly; children played together, laughing and sparring; from time to time, there were chainsaws The voice came, it was like talking to this island.

The voice of Evan Bell ordering takeout in Italian downstairs made people laugh. He tried to communicate in German, French and English, but unfortunately all failed. The bad Italians only know Italian. This makes Evan Bell a little frustrated.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the boys were sitting on the steps of the door, discussing whether they should go to the beach. The beach was less than thirty yards from the entrance of the villa, and it was plated with a layer of gold. Sand is very attractive, not to mention bikini girls strolling on the beach. Two young boys, Zachary Gordon and Nathan Gamble, who had been lethargic from jet lag and a long flight when they first got off the plane, are now chasing and fighting on the cobblestones ahead in good spirits. .

Compared with the liveliness of being surrounded by reporters just now, this kind of tranquility with a big gap makes people a little uncomfortable.

I heard that the venue of next year's Venice Film Festival will leave Lido Island, where transportation is inconvenient and expensive. Therefore, most of the people who can come to enjoy the film festival are professionals and big producers, which makes the Venice Film Festival stagnant. Cannes is in stark contrast to the prestige of Venice and the openness of Berlin. Berlin is a big city. People who like movies can rely on relatives and friends. There are various ways to reduce the cost of living to participate in the film festival. Therefore, during the Berlin Film Festival, you can see young artistic people from all over the world with luggage, rushing to the video. In the world, it is a pity that the competition films of the Berlin Film Festival have always been high and low, and they are unwilling to compromise with business, so in terms of overall prestige, it is always a little worse than Cannes and Venice, but the civilian color and open attitude are unforgettable. If the Venice Film Festival can really be held in a relatively cheap place, it may be a boon for many young people who love movies. Instead of renting expensive villas, they can live in a youth hostel, take a map, and carry a backpack. Eat a sandwich and watch your favorite movie.

Blake Lively's serenity didn't last long, though, and Teddy Bell was quick to greet everyone together, not only to fill a hungry stomach, but also to negotiate the upcoming Venice Film Festival.

Blake Lively walked to the lobby on the first floor. Evan Bell was flipping through the Venice Film Festival on the sofa. The pizza on the table had been opened, and there were stacks of magazines next to her. She also took a copy to begin. Read it up. The Venice Film Festival is divided into several units, digital unit, horizon unit, competition unit, midnight unit, short film unit and so on. The competition in the official competition unit of "Mysterious Skin".

Blake Lively listened quietly, Teddy Bell was discussing with the crew about what to wear at the unveiling ceremony, how to eat meals, what level of hair and makeup should be used, and what might happen at the press conference... ...Except for Evan Bell, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai by himself, the other actors seemed a little nervous. On the international stage, this is not the same for any actor.

Everyone took their notebooks and wrote down their own notes, which made Blake Lively feel that the war was coming. This tense and pleasant atmosphere was fascinating, a little bit of anxiety, a little bit of excitement. Only then did Blake Lively discover that the happiness brought by the movie is not only the dreamy feeling of life on the other side in front of the camera, but also the blooming of life. He is like a budding flower, between passion and expectation. Bloom slowly. Immediately, Blake Lively felt that it was good to be an actor.

Since this is an international film festival, many people are based on the country. For example, the Chinese delegation and the Japanese delegation, which have attracted much attention this year, will hold a grand party. And Evan Bell has undoubtedly received an invitation. Blake Lively paused and whispered to Teddy Bell beside him, "Can I see Hayao Miyazaki."

Teddy Bell couldn't help laughing, "Miyazaki never participated in film festivals, including when he won the Golden Bear in Berlin a few years ago, he did not go to accept the award." Blake Lively couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Evan Bell sat next to him but laughed, "People are called masters. People like me still don't have enough personality." Others said that Evan Bell was absent from the Oscars and dismissed the awards season, but the truth On the other hand, compared to a master figure like Hayao Miyazaki, he is also a "lay man".

Joseph Gordon-Levitt didn't lift his head, and replied directly, "You don't have enough personality? Then your so-called personality is so full that you can't let the college send people to turn around."

This sentence is nothing, but Ryan Gosling murmured next to him, "Aren't the academics not embarrassed enough now?" Suddenly everyone in the living room burst into laughter.

The meeting soon talked about the costumes of the starring actors. Just like the Oscars and Grammys, on the international stage of the Venice Film Festival, the costumes are naturally competitive and will inevitably attract everyone's attention.

Men's clothing is okay to say, but it's just a little more thoughtful on the basis of suits, while the two ladies' clothing is more troublesome. Amanda Seyfried and Blake Lively have both found dress sponsors with the help of Catherine Bell, and now Catherine Bell is working together on the "Eleven" brand flagship store , Naturally, there is no time to design evening dresses for girls alone, even if Anne Hathaway sought the help of other designers for the premieres of the two films this year.

However, it is obvious that the two girls are the first time to appear at a large-scale film festival. They are inexperienced and have made various mistakes in the choice of clothes. For example, Amanda Seyfried's six sets of dresses are mainly black. , and Blake Lively's dress is different in color, but there is not much difference in design. There will be press conferences, premieres, dinners and other different occasions on the same day. If the changed clothes do not show Difference, which is bound to lose a lot of color in the eyes of reporters.

It's okay for men to dress conservatively, but women should never make this mistake.

In the end, Evan Bell came up with an idea to use the different matching of jewelry and headgear, as well as the ingenuity of shoes, to slightly change the style of clothing arrangement, which distinguishes different occasions, which is a solution to two problems. A little girl's urgent need.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the official opening of the 61st Venice Film Festival.
