Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

The plane landed at Venice Marco Polo Airport. At the airport, Shanhe and his party were greeted not only by Venice Film Festival Chairman Marco, but also by Italian Minister of Tourism and Culture Dario, as well as many Italian cultural and business celebrities.

As China grew stronger and Shanhe's international reputation grew, his travels attracted more and more attention from the media and governments of various countries.

They often give greater practical meaning to the visits of mountains and rivers.

Today, all countries around the world know that China's rise is a fait accompli, and no one can stop it!

China's corporate investment and tourist resources are the target groups that many countries strive to strive for, and European countries are no exception.

Shanhe is the undisputed opinion leader of China's younger generation. He has great influence among the Chinese public and also has huge global reputation and influence.

Therefore, Shanhe is the best media and propaganda figure. To a certain extent, he represents the non-governmental exchanges between China and other countries.

Singapore is a typical example. Due to the VIP treatment Shanhe received in Singapore last time, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Singapore has increased significantly.

It is foreseeable that once "The Young and the Restless" is released globally, more Chinese tourists will choose to visit Singapore.

Not only has it brought immeasurable economic benefits to the local area, but it has also played a significant role in promoting all aspects of exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.

Although the Italian reception this time was not as grand as the previous one in Singapore, the standard was still high. The Italian side made the scene extremely high-profile.

Faced with the VIP-level reception in front of the airport, Shanhe and his party were well prepared. After the experience in Singapore last time, Shanhe already had a clearer understanding of his travel.

Unconsciously, his identity is no longer a simple director and writer. He has become one of the important representatives of China's strong rejuvenation.

Shanhe is proud of this and is willing to shoulder its responsibilities.

After receiving the flowers from the airport stewardess, the old man Marco came forward with a smile and gave Shanhe a kiss on his face.

"Haha... Qiu, welcome to Venice again. Let me introduce you to you. This is Dario, the Italian Minister of Culture and Tourism!"

"Hello, I'm honored to receive your warm welcome!"

"Hello, Qiu, you are a leader in the global cultural business community. Italy and Venice both welcome your visit!"

The Italian Minister of Culture and Tourism held Shanhe’s hand and said very officially,

"Both China and Italy have ancient history and civilization, and there should be more cultural and commercial exchanges and cooperation between the two countries!"

Shanhe smiled and replied,

"The name of Venice Airport represents the history of exchanges between China and Italy, and Marco Polo is equally popular in China!"

"Haha... Qiu, you are also well-known in Italy. You have many book fans and movie fans here, and I am one of them. "Room" is very touching and broke the first-week sales record for foreign literary novels in Italy. !”

"I'm honored, thank you for your support!"

…

"This is Umberto Eco, a world-renowned philosopher, semiotician, historian, literary critic and novelist!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Umberto!"

"Welcome to Italy. "The Life of Yi" and "The Room" shocked the entire European literary circle. I hope to have the opportunity to talk about literature and philosophy together!"

…

"You should be familiar with this person, the global luxury goods industry giant Giorgio Armani!"

"Hello, Mr. Armani, Armani has a very high reputation in China! Anne also bought Armani suits for me!"

"This is my honor, Qiu. You and Armani have a natural fit. You are elegant, noble, simple and elegant. What a pity. You should be the best spokesperson for Armani!"

…

After a period of polite greetings and welcome etiquette, Venice also arranged a brief press reception at the airport.

The reporters would not let go of Shanhe, the most eye-catching figure in the world, and rushed to ask him questions. Shanhe dealt with it quite easily.

"Qiu, what do you think of the global feminist uproar triggered by "The Room"? Do you support their remarks?"

“I don’t know much about the feminist movement, but I support equality between men and women and the protection of the rights of women and children from infringement!”

"Qiu, how confident are you that "The Young Man" will win the Venice Golden Lion? What are your expectations for the box office of "The Young Man"?"

"I didn't come to Venice simply to win awards. Awards are never the most important thing to me. Excellent filmmakers from all over the world gather in Venice for exchanges and progress. Faced with these outstanding films, "Young Man" There is not much advantage. As for the box office, I think this is not an issue suitable to be discussed in Venice. This is the palace of art and does not care about the box office!”

"hehe…"

Shanhe's answer caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and Marco laughed the loudest on the stage.

"Forbes has ranked you and Hathaway among the top 20 richest people in the world, and predicted that you will become the next number one family. Do you agree with their ranking and prediction?"

"Really, am I that rich? Money is one of the signs of success, but it is not the only criterion. I think this ranking is boring and there is nothing to say!"

…

After nearly two hours of struggle, Shanhe entered the hotel under the guidance of the Venice Mounted Police.

After settling in and resting for a while, Xu Ahui reported to Shanhe about her trip in Venice.

"Boss, in addition to the opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival, you will also attend the Sino-Italian Cultural Forum, Chinese Movie Night, Venice Filmmakers Forum, and exclusive interviews with Italian National Television's "Focus" column. These are all scheduled , there should be some additional things added along the way.”

Shanhe frowned and looked at the itinerary handed over by Xu Ahui. There was no problem with the process of participating in the film festival. He didn't want to participate too much in other activities.

"What is the nature of this Sino-Italian cultural forum, and what type of column does "Focus" belong to?"

"Venice and our country's Suzhou and Hangzhou are sister cities. The China-Italy Cultural Forum is a non-governmental exchange project held by the two cities every year. You can just show up. "Focus" is similar to our domestic CCTV's "Face to Face", it is a program in An influential high-end interview in Europe, the people interviewed in each issue are well-known cultural, political or business celebrities! ”

After hearing this, Shanhe thought for a moment, nodded and replied:

"That's it, don't add to it, I'm not suitable for participating in too many social activities!"

"Okay, I will reject other invitations as you wish!"

The next day, Shanhe and his party set off from the hotel half an hour early and headed for the Venice Cinema Palace.

Shanhe was deeply impressed by the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, which he first attended seven years ago.

At that time, the crew of "The Black Dahlia", which was the opening film, had an embarrassing scene of being late because they got lost in Venice. At that time, Shanhe complained about it. He could not make this mentally retarded mistake.

Shanhe arrived at the Venice Cinema Palace Square early and received a warm welcome from European movie fans.

The crew of "Youth" was quickly surrounded by fans waiting in front of the movie palace.

Among them were many female book fans who were holding up "Room" and screaming and shouting at Shanhe, hoping to get his autograph.

Shanhe did not disappoint them. In front of the Cinema Palace, a small autograph signing event was naturally formed. More and more book fans came after hearing the news, and a large proportion of them were young girls. The entire Cinema Palace square was packed with people. There was a huge crowd.

The Venice Film Festival has never had such a lively opening ceremony!

Guests attending the opening ceremony lamented that the Venice Film Festival had not invited popular Hollywood stars to support the event in the past, but no one could trigger such a scene.

The influence of Huaxiaqiu is really incredible!

An hour later, with the help of film festival staff, Shanhe waved goodbye to the enthusiastic European fans.

There was another round of screams and cheers in the square,

"Qiu, I will always support you!"

"We all love you, Qiu!"

"You are the most graceful and charming man!"

…

Shanhe looked at these passionate European girls and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

It seems that "Room" has indeed brought many female book fans to itself!

Soon afterwards, the red carpet ceremony for the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival began. Shanhe met his old friend Jiang Wen, who attended the opening ceremony as a judge of the main competition unit.

The two did not communicate on the red carpet, they just looked at each other and smiled.

Jiang Wen was unusually low-key on the red carpet. She wore a black dress and did not stay too long on the red carpet. She even avoided the cameras of photographers and reporters and walked quickly into the movie palace.

Shanhe and Tang Xiaoyu walked on the red carpet as the finale guests. It was the first time for Tang Xiaoyu to face such a scene, and he was very nervous and unfamiliar.

Shan He was on hand to handle the requests and cheers from reporters and fans.

After walking on the red carpet, the two entered the hall. Shan He looked at Tang Xiaoyu who was sweating on his forehead and couldn't help but smile.

Did you look like this when you first walked on the red carpet?

Shanhe can’t remember clearly!

The opening ceremony was very tight, with the festival chairman and judges appearing one after another.

The chairman of the jury, Bernardo Bertolucci, who is over 70 years old, met everyone for the last time in a wheelchair.

He ended with a famous movie quote: "Movies cannot change the world, but they can create a world."

The last process of the opening ceremony, and the most eye-catching part, then began, and "Youth" began its global release process.

Without too much introduction, almost all the guests and audiences present have read the original work of "The Young Man" and are very familiar with Shanhe's phenomenal work. Everyone wants to know what kind of fantasy drifting Shanhe will bring to the global audience. journey of?

In the next two hours, Shanhe did not disappoint the audience and guests.

Starting from Singapore in the 1950s, the movie brought everyone into a dream world. The audience experienced an extremely wonderful rafting journey with the young Yi.

The smooth plot, Tang Xiaoyu's amazing performance, and the extremely shocking and wonderful 3D special effects scenes make people lose their free time to think. The only thing they can do is to follow the rhythm of the movie.

Compared with Ang Lee's original film, Shanhe's version of "The Young Man" is more delicate and restrained. Shanhe does not deliberately ask the audience to get any inspiration from the movie, nor does it add too much personal way of thinking, nor does it have the slightest influence on the film. Preaching and incitement.

Everything is hidden in the smooth story. Through the growth of young Yi and the fantasy of the drifting journey, concepts such as philosophy, religion, and faith are naturally included.

Moreover, Shanhe also made certain changes in the plot and scenes, and did not copy his original work.

Lifestyle is more colorful than in the novel, with more dazzling light and color.

The scenes and level of 3D special effects production have been upgraded to a higher level than the original work!

In addition, Tang Xiaoyu's performance is also a great highlight. His explosive power and character tension are more than one level higher than that of the Indian boy in the original film.

It is precisely because Shanhe has memories of the original film and his own novel-adaptation writing that he has strong control over the film.

The whole movie is impeccable to watch, without any ambiguity, and it is so mellow and smooth that people can't help but be drawn into the plot and scenes.

Two hours later, deafening applause erupted in the Venice Cinema Palace, and all the audience and guests stood up to give their praise and recognition.

Everyone knows that this will be another Huaxia Qiu-style masterpiece with both box office and word-of-mouth success!

The applause lasted for a full six or seven minutes, and then gradually subsided after the curtain call from Shanhe and the crew.

Early the next morning, the Venice Film Festival and major media outlets around the world gave the movie "Youth" a very high rating.

The Venice screening gave it a score of 3.4 points, and the film review title was: Telling the most complex proposition in the gentlest way.

"...Qiu still maintains his own style that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, and even takes this advantage to a new level. When you set your sights on the big screen, you lose all speculation and doubt and can only follow the ups and downs of the young boy on the journey of growth. In the dream of rafting, after you end this fantasy rafting journey, the aftertaste he brings to you will not dissipate for a long time. Qiu has hidden a lot in the movie, which needs your careful aftertaste!"

"Sight and Sound" gave it a nine-point professional rating.

It has a smooth plot, amazing acting skills, and is like a dream. 3D special effects, I can't even imagine what method Hua Xiaqiu used to combine real-life shooting and special effects animation so perfectly. Of course, Qiu's movies have never lacked thinking, but this time he hid these things deeper. The movie is more The novel is more restrained, but the philosophy and speculation hidden in the movie are profound and long-lasting. In China, this technique is called blank space. On the surface, there is nothing there, but the artistic conception is very brilliant! "

As the most professional Hollywood film review magazine, "Today's Film Critic" also gave an A+ rating:

"Don't doubt Hua Xiaqiu's commercial ability to generate box office. He always allows people to experience the beauty of immersion. No one will refuse a dream-like experience. The most amazing thing is that you can feel a lot while immersed. Unfathomable things, such as sadness, struggle, faith and the complexity of human nature, if I had to describe the whole movie in one sentence, I would call it The End of the World and Cold Wonderland!”

…

While everyone praised the movie, Tang Xiaoyu's performance also received unanimous praise.

The media have used words such as "genius performance", "stunning", "perfect debut" and other words to describe Tang Xiaoyu's performance in the film.

With the dual efforts of "Young Yi" and "Room", it can be predicted that the next two months will be a time for mountains and rivers.

At this moment, the world will pulsate according to his rhythm!
