Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 363 Submitted Movies Rejected

Christian is a famous Italian director and the chairman of the jury of the horizon section of this year's Venice Film Festival.

The horizon unit is one of the two official competition units of the film festival, which focuses on encouraging film experiments and innovations to capture the future trends and trends of international films.

The horizon unit belongs to the exhibition unit, and the participating films do not participate in the competition for the Golden Lion Award. The participating micro films belong to this competition unit.

He has watched the 5-minute movie "Leave Me" several times, and he is full of praise for the storyline, narrative technique and shooting skills of the film.

He estimates that if this short film enters the competition, there is a high probability that it will win the best short film award.

But what is regrettable is that there is a big Canon camera LOGO close-up in the movie!

Immediately turned this well-conceived literary film into a micro-movie advertisement for Canon!This violates the purpose of the Venice Film Festival to "serve serious art".

Didn't even pass the first trial!
It is a great loss for the Venice Film Festival that such a good film cannot be exhibited.

But things of principle cannot be violated. Even if he appreciates it, he cannot open this back door. He can only reluctantly part with it and return it.

Can the author revise it?

At the same time as the official email receipt, Christian also sent a private email.

After three days of touring in Paris, the three of Yu Dongqing are going to fly to Venice tomorrow.

"So many things, how do you take them? We still have to go to Italy." Yu Dongqing was helpless when she saw the large and small bags in the hotel room.

"Dad, there is a courier. I made an agreement with my aunt. My things will be sent directly to grandma's house, and hers will be sent to school."

I.
Yu Dongqing suddenly had nothing to say.

At noon the next day, the three of them flew directly to Venice, Italy by plane. The plane landed at Marco Polo International Airport. When they got out of the station, they saw Elena in a miniskirt and flaxen hair in the waiting hall.

"Intimate Mingmei, you are finally here." Elena gave Mingmei a warm hug.

"Tongtong."

"Brother-in-law."

The enthusiastic Elena hugged each other, and then led them out of the terminal and boarded the bus leading to the city.

On the way home, the two girls chatted non-stop.

"Mingmei, did you enjoy your trip?"

"I'm very happy. We visited all the attractions in London and Paris. By the way, we also went to Castleborough, which is not far from London. It's a very interesting seaside town."

"That's right, my brother-in-law also wrote a song "Casbro Market", which is very nice."

"how do you know?"

"Susan also talked about this on her Twitter, admiring this song so much, and she is going to cover it, and her brother-in-law's original song has been on the Spotify new song list."

"is it?"

Mingmei patronized and played this day, so she didn't pay attention to it.

Yu Dongqing didn't care even more, and sat in the back with Yu Tongtong to watch the scenery outside.

Cocoa Polo International Airport is only eight kilometers away from the city of Venice, and soon entered the city. Yu Dongqing and the others followed Elena to the water bus.

It is an indescribable enjoyment to stand on a boat and enjoy the scenery of the Venetian architectural complex.The buildings on both sides of the waterway are very beautiful Gothic and Renaissance buildings.

Elena's home is located in a street near St. Mark's Square. There are three floors of a building. Elena told Mingmei that her parents went to Milan to visit her grandma and grandpa, and she was the only one in the house, so you don't need to stay. The hotel is directly at my house.

"It's so lonely at home alone, it's best to have a companion!" Elena said excitedly.

The room had already been packed, and it was still Yu Dongqing's room. Mingmei and Yu Tongtong lived next door. After the two packed their luggage, Elena called them out.

"I'll take you to our local specialty - cuttlefish noodles! Shrimp polenta and Branelli biscuits!"

Hearing that there were so many delicious food, Yu Tongtong was drooling, and immediately yelled to go out.

In a small restaurant on the side of St. Mark's Square, four people sat at a table by the window, eating delicious food while admiring the scenery outside.

At this moment, Mingmei's mobile phone notified that she had received two emails.

"It's an email from the jury of the Venice Film Festival!" Mingmei was startled, and quickly opened one of them.

Immediately disappointed.

The content is very brief.

It is said that the films of the Venice Film Festival are "serving serious art" and do not accept over-commercialized films, let alone participating in the award competition in the form of advertising micro-films.

But at the same time, Mingmei also received a private email from the chairman of the jury, Christian.

In the letter, Christian made no secret of his affirmation of the artistic value of this micro-movie, and appreciated the author's talent very much. He strongly suggested that the author make revisions or remake a micro-movie for submission.

This?
"What's the matter, Mingmei?" Elena asked.

Mingmei showed everyone two emails.

This result was somewhat unexpected.

"How about, brother-in-law, follow Christian's suggestion, let's remove that LOGO and use the original version." Mingmei suggested.

She estimated that the problem lies in the Canon logo.

Yu Dongqing shook her head.

"Since the contract has been signed with Canon, we have to act according to the contract."

"Then just make another one!" It was Elena who spoke.

"Elena, I came to Italy for tourism, not for filming!" Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Traveling and filming are both good things. I heard from Mingmei that you only took three days to shoot that "Leave Me" and post-production."

"That's right, brother-in-law, it's a rare opportunity. Christian is a well-known director in the world, and he appreciates you very much. Make persistent efforts and win another award!" Mingmei said.

You have so much faith in me?

But it is.

We can't win the Golden Lion Award, but we can win the Best Short Film Award, right?
Yu Dongqing was a little moved.

but
"Liangmei, Elena, even if you want to make a micro movie, how can you do it now that you don't have any equipment or actors? I don't plan to use a camera this time."

"Leave this to me!" Elena immediately took over the topic: "One of the world's three major film festivals is held in Venice, you can imagine the prosperity of our Venice film industry!" Elena said proudly: " As long as you are willing to shoot, I will help you find equipment, venues, and even actors!"

Ah?
OK then.

In the original time and space, there was another excellent short film.

In a small restaurant on the side of Marco Square, Yu Dongqing told the two girls the script of another micro movie.

Adrian is a talented pianist who has been studying piano for 15 years.He failed in the coveted Bernstein Piano Competition, and his life fell to the bottom.

After a period of adjustment, Adrian regained his strength and became a blind piano tuner.

In fact, he only wears contact lenses, which will make others think that his hearing is more acute, and thus get more sympathy and consumption, and even spy on other people's lives and privacy. Being in a busy city seems to be in a detachment outside the world.

One day, he came to work in a family, but he didn't know that a murder had just happened here.
This is the original micro-movie "Tuner" that was famous in time and space!
