Chapter 432 Farewell My Concubine!

Huang Baiyou enjoyed the opening ceremony of the movie "Ice Spring". He is still an "Alan"-style protagonist. He has an ordinary job, has neither good nor bad relationships with his colleagues, and has an ordinary family environment. He is just a little cold-tempered and not good at words.

The turning point came when he saw a dog die in front of him.

The plot of Alan Samdson's film is unique in its plot. The general logic of film and television is "rescue the puppy", because the pet is saved in both directions.

But the reason for the redemption of the male protagonist in "Ice Spring" is that the puppy died in front of him, which made him scared. He was afraid of affecting his peaceful life, so he tried hard to keep "the same level" as usual.

"This actor's acting skills are very good, but not as good as Thirteen." Yu Mo was quite confident after reading the evaluation.

"Are you confident that you will win the Golden Lion Award?" Sister Han asked.

How to talk, what Yu Mo said is that the leading actor in Allen's movie is not as good as Huang Baiyou, and the overall quality of the movie.

"I might win," Yu Mo said.

The five seconds of applause is enough to prove that most film critics and even peers are satisfied.

"Movies that discuss propositions like [average] and [ordinary] are very popular at film festivals." Yuan Xiangshi put down his glasses. He was a bit farsighted.

"The plot feels weird. Seeing the death of a dog makes me so scared that I have nightmares. Is it reasonable to meet a dead dog?" Dong Gong said.

"It makes sense." Master Yuan Xiang said, "Maybe it was intentional by the director, because ordinary people don't encounter dead people in their lives."

As the name suggests, the opening movie is the first movie played on the opening day. It can also be said that the closing movie is the last one played.

Basically all the guests will watch it. Not everyone likes this kind of movie that is calm on the surface but has an undercurrent underneath.

Wen Yubing looked listless...

"Some of the movies directed by Allen need to be controlled by radio waves." Huang Baiyou stretched and rested for a while before going to the movie palace to watch the next movie.

He is very concerned about another film in the main competition, the horror-themed "Obstacle".

Everyone knows that horror and science fiction themes are not popular at film festivals, so it is worth looking forward to being shortlisted for the main competition!

The film festivals mentioned above do not include the world's three major fantasy film festivals. These three film festivals specialize in fantasy, thriller, science fiction and horror themes. Many people who want to find good movies will go to the three fantasy film festivals.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that there was a small accident on the red carpet at the opening ceremony - a certain British internet celebrity got an invitation from somewhere and refused to go on the red carpet.

So the red carpet process was skipped. Huang Baiyou doesn't rely on his reputation anyway, and he also discovered one thing. This catwalk show has both domestic and foreign "carriers".

"Although it's a bit bragging, the decision to refuse to endorse foreign luxury goods is so right." Huang Baiyou thought to himself.

At 15:21 Rome time, the world premiere of "Farewell My Concubine" opened.

The English name of "Farewell.My.Concubine.Adieu.Ma.Concubine" (Farewell, My Concubine) is a very ambiguous name.

Director Yu Mo is a little famous in Europe and the United States. After all, Thirteenth Prince of the South China Sea also won many awards, but the peers, film critics, and media who came to the premiere were all here for Standing.

You must take a sneak peek at the new roles since the world-famous Joker. Visconti, the editor-in-chief of Italy's most authoritative film and television magazine "Cinema", is aiming for Huang's name.

"Cinema" is very good. The famous "Manifesto of Neorealism" was published on it by Humberto Barro. Many people who study film and television directing have probably taken this exam.

"Come and see Standing's performance. I had a conversation with him yesterday. He is an artist." Allen came with the screenwriter of the same crew. Before the movie started, he spoke about Amway.

Also in the same row were two directors, Pei Wen and Conan Bolin, both of whom had different ideas.

""Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" should be the pinnacle of your career. If you perform another type of opera, you will not be able to cross your own mountain." Pei Wen, who was on the left, thought to himself. To be honest, he was here to witness Huang Baiyou's failure. .

It cannot be said to be a failure. Huang's acting skills have been tested many times and cannot be bad, but it cannot be better than Jiang Yulu.

Conan Bolling, who is seated on the right side, is here to witness the "miracle" and to teach his leading actor Sarif.

Oh, by the way, the important guest is Marco Muller, the former chairman of the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee and the director of the Italian National Film Museum.

As an aside, Marco Muller was the first person to let Chinese films go overseas. In the 1990s, most of the successes of Chinese films abroad were made by him. He even wrote "Electric" "Shadow" is a book dedicated to introducing the history of Chinese films.

Marco has a deep love for Chinese movies and even said, "It is precisely because of Chinese movies that I feel that I should continue to dedicate my time to movies and even host large-scale international film festivals." Therefore, he will definitely not be absent. The premiere of "Farewell My Concubine".

The important guests in the audience are almost introduced here, because the lights in the audience are turned off and the movie starts to show——

The movie opens with Cheng Dieyi, played by Huang Baiyou, and Duan Xiaolou, played by Yuan Xiangshi, walking into the gymnasium together in their outfits.

In just a few words, the identity of the two characters was clearly explained. They were famous "Beijing Opera" actors and they were here for rehearsal today.

But the two said they haven't performed in opera for many years.

"I haven't sung an opera in twenty-one years."

"It's twenty-two years."

"We brothers haven't seen each other for ten years."

"It's eleven years."

The lines are very concise. In just a few sentences, you can tell that Huang Baiyou's character values ​​the past more.

Director Yu Mo said that his skills are also on display. The strong light from the front seems to submerge the two of them, and through the lens, you can feel the weight of the entire environment on people.

Sometimes failure is not due to lack of ability, but rather to making the wrong thing. Even good movies of this era may not be seen by anyone.

Therefore, Yu Mo’s level is absolutely fine!

As soon as the footlights hit, the opening subtitles of the movie appeared——

"Sure enough, it's a flashback." Everyone here can basically see that the previous few words of dialogue have laid a huge amount of foreshadowing, which must be revealed.

There must be a story about why a famous Beijing Opera actor stopped singing for twenty-two years, and why two people with a good relationship did not see each other for eleven years.

The opening prologue ends with a lively market, with the camera following a mother holding a child in the Temple of Heaven Park in Beijing. The scenery, props and costumes are all quite real, and the audience is immediately drawn into that era.

"Old-fashioned people." Actor Sarif commented on the beginning of the plot.

It started as a street performance, but then the little leper in the troupe wanted to escape, and was dissatisfied by the onlookers. If the street performer is not good, he will be kicked off...

Then the half-sized little stone performed a ruthless trick, breaking the brick with his head to break the siege.

However, when I returned home, I was beaten by the master, because singing is not a circus (foreigners understand), and you have to use your singing and body movements to win applause, and you cannot use this method.

"Is this brave little boy the taller one at the beginning?" some viewers speculated.

However, Conan Bolin used the director's intuition and directly guessed, "It's the burly one, and the thin one is probably the child being held by the woman."

"In this case, his mother is a call girl?" Some viewers came to their senses.

The woman who was hugging the child just now was fighting with the man on the street. Her identity was obvious. A lot of information was revealed at the beginning of the movie.

Once you have to read the subtitles, and again you have to think about the plot.

One more thing, starting from 2018, the participating films, except for non-English and Italian films, will be subtitled in these two languages.

The cinema halls of the Cinema Palace all have English subtitle machines.
