"Is it directed by Babette Schroeder?" Milos Forman showed a very strange smile on his face. He said, "The works directed by Schroeder are very good, but according to Mr. Lin's age, there seems to be nothing you can do.

Let’s watch his movies?”

Forman's joke made Lin Junxiu realize that few of the works of European art film masters are family-friendly. If you don't put some content that is not suitable for children, what else would you call an art film? This year's film directed by Schroeder participated in the exhibition

It's called "The Killer's Virginity", and it sounds like it's an autobiographical movie about a killer. But in fact? The opening scene is a hand-to-hand battle between an old killer who plans to retire and a newbie killer, and it's a paid kind.

The old killer and the young killer went from kidney to heart, so the young killer became the lover of the old killer. The old killer took the young killer to his hometown to buy real estate, preparing for the two of them to live in the countryside. But let the old killer

The killer was angry that his lover, the young killer, was killed! So the old killer began to investigate the murder case, during which he met another young killer. Therefore, men are still very philanthropic in love, and the old killer

While investigating the murder of his lover, he slept with this new young killer.

At the end of the investigation, the old killer discovered that it was his new lover who killed his old lover. The old killer was reluctant to kill his new lover, so he let the new lover leave. In the end, the old killer did not avenge his old lover. After all, he was a man.

...In addition to the meaty scenes between men, the whole movie also has various real gunfight scenes. Different from Hong Kong gunfight movies, here it is very real that one shot is shot, and then the plasma explodes, killing a person.

It’s gone. Therefore, this kind of movie is not suitable for high school students to watch.

"Okay." Lin Junxiu shrugged. "It seems that there are not many movies suitable for me to watch at this film festival."

"The Venice Film Festival believes in not interfering with the creative freedom of film creators, and only focusing on their pioneering work in film language. Therefore, we will not have any restrictions on the subject matter and scale of the participating films, so it is not suitable for minors like you.

It's also a pity." Forman said. "Mr. Lin, do you know why I invited you to dinner?"

Lin Junxiu shook his head and thought, how can I guess what you big guys are thinking? So just pretend to be a good boy.

"Probably by coincidence, I saw your first directorial work, "Call for Love in the Center of the World."" Forman said, "Although it is a commercial genre film with a love theme, I have to admit that

, you have a special talent in mastering movie lenses. I am amazed by the way you use different tones of lenses to hint at memories and displays, to highlight happiness and hints. It is true that there are many directors in this world who are good at using tones.

, but they only use color tone as part of their lens language, while you have used lens color tone to create a way of expressing lens language. Although this language is still a bit immature, I see its infinite possibilities in the future.

.Especially, after I know your age."

When Forman said this, he sighed. "Then I managed to watch your "Five Boys", a critical reality-themed satire hidden under the comedy category. After watching this movie, I

That's why I trust you. Because I'm worried that you will pursue the color tone of the movie lens too much. The picture of the movie is indeed the carrier of the movie story, but no matter how powerful it is, it is just a carrier.

An excellent movie can use very immature or even childish lens language, but it can never have a blank storyline. You can tell a story well, and at the same time, you can integrate your thinking and criticism into the story for the audience to understand.

That's great! When I knew you were filming "Midnight Flight", I had a magical feeling that it might be a special movie. I dare not judge whether the movie is great or not, because everyone has a different opinion about greatness.

Understanding is different; similarly, there are many aspects involved in appreciating whether a movie is excellent or not, and it cannot be determined by one person's subjectivity. However, I can guarantee that it is special."

"Thank you, Director Forman, for your evaluation of my movie." Lin Junxiu replied with a smile. Lin Junxiu was a little proud to be praised by a film master. "And Director Forman specially arranged the opening film for me.

treatment.”

"I did not arrange the opening film." Director Forman winked slyly. "I am just the chairman of the jury. The person who can arrange the opening film is the director of the organizing committee. Therefore, the person you need to thank is Alberto Ba

Mr. Bella."

Alberto Barbera is the director of the Italian Film Museum, and he has twice served as the director and artistic director of the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee. Barbera does not have many film works, and his energy is more concentrated on film reviews and film festivals.

Organizationally. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, he was the chairman of the Italian Friendship Film Association and founded his own film review magazine. In 1982, he became the secretary-general of the International Youth Film Festival and later became the chairman; in

During his tenure, he reformed the International Youth Film Festival into the Turin Film Festival, becoming the second largest film festival in Italy after the Venice Film Festival and an international B-category film festival.

It should be noted that Category B Film Festival does not mean that it is a lower level than Category A Film Festival, but compared to Category A Film Festival, which is a non-themed competitive film festival, Category B Film Festival is a specialized themed competitive film festival.

Film festival. In other words, the difference between B-type film festivals and A-type film festivals is that B-type film festivals have special themes. After the success of the Turin Film Festival, Barbera began to take charge of the Venice Film Festival and served as the director of the Italian Film Festival.

Museum curator.

"He likes young directors, and he also likes directors who are keen on exploring the art of film." Forman explained to Lin Junxiu, "There is also competition among the three major film festivals, and each film festival hopes to have its own direct directors.

."

Among the three major film festivals, the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival are more famous in China because the Berlin Film Festival favors Chinese directors more than the other two film festivals; while the Cannes Film Festival is the largest film festival in the world.

Festival, the influence is naturally large enough, and this large influence comes from the Cannes Film Festival’s continuous marketing and recruitment of directors.

A successful film festival comes from two aspects, one is commercial success, and the other is artistic success. Commercial success is the popularity of the film, and this popularity usually comes from media reports, and the media pays attention to

It is the number and quality of film stars from various countries who come to the film festival. The artistic success lies in the award-winning works of this film festival and the future development opportunities of award-winning directors. What is important is the quality of this film festival’s jury. In fact, it is very simple.

If a director wins an award at a certain film festival, he is a director trained by this film festival, and the jury of that year is basically his connections. His success and degree of success represent the future of this film festival.

Grade, and the positions of the jury members, etc.

It is because of this that the three major film festivals are constantly cultivating their direct line directors and using these direct line directors to influence the film circles of their countries. Although Japanese films are declining in modern times, this does not mean that there will be no successors in the Japanese film circle.

It is reasonable for the Venice Film Festival to start investing in the new generation of Japanese films. What’s more, in the eyes of Europeans, aren’t Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese and Japanese all Asians? To attract a new generation of Asian directors, then

It is the key to opening up Asia’s huge population market.

After Forman's explanation, Lin Junxiu suddenly realized. What was left was that the two people, one old and one young, were enjoying Italian seafood while chatting about topics about film art. Many of Lin Junxiu's problems were discussed in some film art studies.

The reporter seemed a little naive, but Forman answered very patiently. In Forman's view, Lin Junxiu's current achievements in film art are more a reflection of his talent, so some too simple questions are inevitable.

things.

After having dinner with Forman, Lin Junxiu went to prepare the opening film. Generally speaking, the opening film and closing film of the film festival are the responsibility of the film festival organizing committee. The film festival organizing committee has no influence

Jury, but the opening film and the closing film are still considered to be the biggest hits of the festival. Because of this, the premiere of the opening film is usually very popular, not to mention the director who was selected as the opening film this year

He is also an unknown Japanese director.

"Why choose a Japanese movie as the opening movie? In my impression, there seems to be no movies in Japan, right?" There are many movie lovers at the film festival, and compared with ordinary movie audiences, the appreciation level of these fans will be lower.

Slightly higher.

"You can't say that. Directors like Kurosawa Akira and Ozu Yasujiro are still very talented." Someone objected, "And the earlier Takeshi Kitano was also very good. I really like the violent themes he shot.

Movie."

During these conversations, there were several Asian faces queuing up. But unlike these viewers who needed to buy tickets, they had special passes in their hands. Although it was not like a critic pass that allowed them to watch any movie at will, this

This kind of pass is enough to ensure that they can watch the main films of the film festival. Like other audiences, they also communicated while queuing up. One of them said: "If the movie title hadn't been in Japanese, I would have thought it was us when I saw the director's name.

Where are the Chinese people?"

"Yeah, at first I was wondering when China had a new director named Lin. After reading the title, I realized it was Lin from Japan. Hey, there was a little oolong." People around him

He nodded and said, "But isn't this subject a bit too small?"

"Venice is different from Cannes and Berlin. What they pursue is the artistic expression of movies, and they are not so strict about the ideological aspects." The Asian who started to speak seemed to know Venice movies very well, so he explained, "I watched their movies.

Poster, this director still has something new in terms of film composition and tone selection."

Since a work by a Japanese director was entered into the main competition section of the Venice Film Festival, it immediately aroused the attention of the Japanese people. Media like NHK, which has its own European correspondent bureau, is naturally first-come-first-serve and has reported early.

group, and even produced a small feature about the Venice Film Festival. Such scale of coverage surprised the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee. After all, the Venice Film Festival has always been the "last" of the three major film festivals, and even

There are questions internationally about whether the Venice Film Festival is still one of the "big three".

In addition to NHK, TV Asahi has also obtained first-hand news materials through their cooperative media. Only other broadcasters are a little anxious now, because of the special situation of Japanese TV media, the news reports of Japanese TV media have always been incomplete, and even more
