As a tourist destination and a resort destination, the water city of Venice is lively and lively all year round, even in the cold winter. Warm sunshine, noisy crowds, lazy life, wonderful food, ancient buildings, rich culture and friendly people, everything attracts people to come to this city and secretly cherish the comfort and beauty of the sun in the winter in the northern hemisphere.

This is even more so during the Carnival in February and the Film Festival in September.

This year marks the special anniversary of the 70th anniversary of the Venice Film Festival. All activities and ceremonies are unique. Three days before the opening ceremony, people from all over the world began to flock to Italy, entering the small land floating on the edge of the Adriatic Sea like a rolling tide.

Before the film festival officially kicked off, the bustling rumors and hot discussions have already begun to boil in advance

Regarding the power struggle within the organizing committee, the determination of the chairman of the jury, bernardo-bertolui, to support Italian films, concerns about the quality of works in the main competition unit, the fork in the 70th anniversary of the road is located at the future development plan of the festival... and so on.

It is precisely because this is the special day of the 70th anniversary of Venice that the mainstream Italian media and senior executives of the film industry believe that this is a memorable year. If the Italian local film can stabilize the Golden Lion Award, then this is of positive significance for the future of the film festival and the development of the local film industry.

However, different voices appeared within the organizing committee. Some people insisted that the film festival should be a film festival, and everything is mainly based on the film itself. It is not the film environment of the 1930s and 1940s. In order to support local films, we can learn from Berlin's practices, but the film festival still needs to win by quality.

In other words, it is actually a debate about home court advantages.

People often say that Italy is the China of Europe, and there are many similarities between the two countries, from culture to tradition, from customs to habits. You can know the future development plan of the Venice Film Festival.

It can be predicted that this year's main competition unit will inevitably attract more attention; more importantly, in order to celebrate the 70th anniversary, the Venice Film Festival spent countless thoughts and invited many big names to come to the festival to support it. Looking back now, it is impossible to determine whether this is a good or a bad thing. If you are not careful, you may create an epic embarrassment.

However, the big names who arrived in Venice first have no time to pay attention to the competition for the main competition unit. After all, there are still a few days before the opening of the film festival, and the hottest figure in recent days is Renly Hall.

Andre Hamilton, the head of Scotland's top whisky brand, and the youngest son of the family of the hereditary noble Duke Hamilton, held a private party in the name of Renly Hall, inviting guests to gather in their own private residences to enjoy a wonderful night together and warm up the global premiere of "Georgeism".

This private party has become a hot topic in the European film industry.

The reason is simple: there are only 200 party invitations.

Looking at the European film industry, there are definitely not many top figures who can stand at the top of the pyramid, but there are definitely more than 200 people. In addition, some of the invitation letters that night were sent to real nobles in Europe and Asia, covering Sweden, Britain, France, Denmark, Arabia and other countries that still retained the royal family and aristocrats.

In other words, this is a small group of the most top and most noble groups, most of which are names that have heard of but never had the opportunity to pay homage. Now, this party has only two hundred places open, and no one can be an exception. This is the real weak water of 3,000 only one scoop.

The competition became far beyond Oscar Night.

Every elite and every upper class are eager to get an invitation, not only to broaden your connections or open your horizons, but also to prove your social status and join the so-called top class. It is not money, not glory, not reputation, but honor.

It is precisely because of this that the name "Arthur Hall" spread among the upper class of Europe for the first time, because he was the party planner and he had a list of invitations in his hands. Many people began to inquire about how the names on this list were selected.

Is it selected by Renly and Andrei himself? Or recommended by an acquaintance? Or recommended by himself?

In addition, what is the level of the invitation? The prince or princess of the first heir? The chairman of the listed group, the head of the family? Or one at a lower level, so as to ensure that the party will not become a dull and polite social occasion, but will retain the carnival atmosphere of the film festival?

Overnight, Arthur became very popular.

It is rumored that an invitation letter has been hyped up to 100,000 euros in the black market. But the rumors are just rumors, because every person who receives the invitation letter does not care about 100,000 euros at all, and there is no shadow of the invitation letter in the market at all.

In the end, two hundred people were two hundred. Andre Hamilton did what he said, and did not open up more possibilities because of the popularity of the topic. As for whether the guests who received the invitation were present, Andre didn't care at all.

That night, a large number of news media gathered in the private pier at the entrance of the Duke of Hamilton's private residence. They were all on the sea and could not hide their traces at all. So they simply guarded the door openly, blatantly filming, and counted every guest present.

Unexpectedly but reasonable, most of the guests' faces are relatively unfamiliar, and only a few senior entertainment reporters can tell some of the rules because these are the big guys who are truly hidden behind the scenes. They rarely show up in public, but they have real top resources in their hands.

What is certain is that every name seems to be full of weight, low-key and luxurious. This is the real aristocratic party.

It is worth mentioning that all the invited London nobles attended the party.

For outsiders, they don’t understand the ins and outs of it at all, so they naturally cannot understand the importance of today’s invitation; but for insiders, they clearly know what this invitation means, or what this party means.

Although the invitation was Andre Hamilton, not Renly Hall; although the invitation was young nobles aged 20 to 35, rather than the rulers who are now in charge of the family; although the number of invitations was controlled at fifteen, it can only be said to be a splash of water for a formal party.

However, every London noble who attended the unattended London knew clearly that this was the first time that Renly Hall had officially invited the nobles as an actor, not the "little son of the Hall family"; furthermore, this was the first time that Arthur Hall officially held a private party as an individual, building a bridge between the nobles and the movies. Then, the meaning was naturally extraordinary.

When all the fifteen invited guests arrived in Venice, attended the party that night, and enjoyed an incredible night, the attitude of the upper class in London was already obvious.

The British upper class, far away on the other side of the English Channel, began to speculate whether this means that Renly will officially return to the London social circle?

However, their guesses were wrong at least not 100%. The reason why Lanli invited the London nobles was on the one hand and Andre's idea, which he hoped to improve the quality of the party and use his connections was undoubtedly the simplest; on the other hand, Lanli's idea was for Arthur.

Lanley never mentioned this, but Arthur knew it very well.

Lan Li did not give any affirmation on her mouth, but behind her he was trying his best to support him, just as he supported Edith at the beginning, and now it was Arthur's turn.

This is not an important move for Lanley. Even if he stood up for Arthur's sake means tit-for-tat with Elf, he would not care about Elf's emotions at all; but it was a crucial support for Arthur.

Everyone said that there was no affection among nobles. Arthur used to think so, but now he has changed his mind.

Behind a party is still a war without gunpowder, not as fierce as before, but it still exists.

Perhaps no one minds Renly's identity as an actor now, but compared to a profession like a banker, a lawyer, and a gallery owner, an actor still doesn't seem to be a profession worthy of writing. Not to mention aristocrats, even many nouveau riche or ordinary people don't care much.

Lan Li is destined to be an alien.

However, now there are another group of aliens gathered around Renly, Andre, Matthew, Eaton, Edith... and Arthur.

After the private party ended, almost no one could know the content and details of the party. The top tycoons were unwilling to accept interviews. Even Alfonso Caron, Scarlett Johnson, Judy Denchi and others who attended the party laughed and closed their mouths.

Immediately afterwards, another party was finished. This time the protagonist is still "gravity", but the organizer has become Warner Bros.

The night before the official opening of the Venice Film Festival, Warner Bros. held a warm-up party for "Georgia". The party planner was still Arthur Hall, but the invitation was much more approachable. Many celebrities who came to Venice to participate in the film festival received invitation letters, and even many top journalists were inviting.

This is a simple premiere party, but it becomes unique because of Arthur Hall's planning.
