1485 Last arrival
While riding the wind and waves, the private yacht slowly docked at the dock. Under the gaze of friends, Lanli left the cabin and came to the deck.
The flash lights and the burning sunset shine together, and the cold silver and bright orange blend together naturally, like God's brush, slowly outlined Lan Li's slender body shape
The smoke-gray vertical striped shirt paired with a navy blue casual suit and trousers, and the leisure of the vacation also brought a hint of elegance and dignity; the sea breeze blew the slightly curly short hair, and the eyebrows and eyes were hidden in it, and the gently raised curve of the corner of the mouth attracted all eyes.
The earth-shaking screams and shouts swept across like a tsunami, as if the entire Lido Island had felt the arrival of Lanli.
The yacht finally stopped completely, and then Lan Li took a step forward from the deck of the surging sea waves to the down-to-earth pier. After feeling the solid sense of gravity stability again, he walked along the direction of the dock wooden boards towards the red carpet of the movie palace.
"Lanli, here, look here!"
"Young Master, wait, wait."
"Baron Hall! Baron Hall!"
The entire dock was already crowded with people, as if every corner was full, and you could even see incredible stunts, which was eye-opening. Everyone tried to attract Lan Li's attention. In desperation, there were a variety of names, which could be said to be useless, and everything was just for taking a photo.
In fact, Renly was not fast; on the contrary, he always liked such occasions.
Of course it is not because of the cheers, shouts and sieges. Even now, Lan Li is still more inclined to keep a certain distance. The fear of being in the dense crowd has disappeared, but in order to avoid any accidents, he still has to be careful; but because of the enthusiasm, madness and concentration, isn’t this the greatest charm of the film festival?
Compared to Cannes, Renly prefers Berlin and Venice. It’s not because Cannes is bad, but the atmosphere of the movies in Berlin and Venice is purer and simpler. What’s more, this is Venice full of memories.
Lan Li walked calmly, nodded to the reporters on both sides with a smile, suddenly stopped, took two steps back, and sounded reminder, "Be careful."
The reporters were unaware of this, so Lan Li had to go forward and signaled the gap behind the crowd with his right hand, "Be careful, don't retreat anymore, otherwise the Coast Guard will be dispatched."
Before he could finish his words, his feet were surging, and he could see someone's center of gravity deviating. Lan Li had only time to stretch out his right hand and exclaimed, "Beware!" Then the next second, his handsome eyebrows frowned, and a strong smile appeared in his eyes.
Plop. Plop.
Even though this scene was definitely not a funny moment, the smile still laughed and rose up. Three and four reporters fell to the dock like dumplings, falling into the sea one after another.
But the smile lasted for only a moment, and then it began to panic, and the entire dock seemed to be in turmoil.
In order to capture the exclusive shot of Lanley landing in Lidu Island Film Palace as soon as possible, more than forty reporters were crowded in a small area near the dock. Usually, even twenty people gathered here, it was already extremely crowded. Now the situation is even more so that people are close to each other, and no gap can be found.
Then, a little panic began to trigger a chain effect, and then two more reporters fell down.
Is this a recurrence of the nightmare?
Is the chaos at the Lincoln Center's premiere for "I Against Cancer" going to be staged again?
Those memory fragments surged into my heart again, and Renli's heart contracted slightly. He quickly turned his head and waved to the security guard standing not far away, "Someone has fallen into the water, hurry up!"
Then he turned his head and looked at the reporters in front of him. Lan Li waved his hand repeatedly and shouted, "Calm down! Calm down!" At the same time, he made a gesture of introversion, indicating that everyone should not retreat but to withdraw.
However, when I looked around, I found that the commotion of the reporters flashed by in a flash. In the blink of an eye, everyone calmed down and shouted to each other, "Go forward. Go forward." The orderly scene in the chaos gradually calmed down the chaos on the scene. There was no fear and fear as I imagined, but a cheerful atmosphere was filled with.
What's going on?
Lan Li looked around and looked around. The reporters on the other side were smiling and joked one by one. The atmosphere was not only not tense, but also... it was also... happy? It was like a comedy conference scene?
Not only that, the security guards also walked over slowly, with a calm expression that they were used to. One of the staff members took the initiative to walk forward and said in English with a strong Italian accent, "Don't worry. This happens every year, and we have made arrangements in advance."
Following the other party's sight, Lan Li saw that the lifeboat was approaching as soon as possible and was organizing rescue activities. Moreover, the height of the dock was not scary, and it was even less than one floor high. Even if it fell into the sea, it was not as terrifying as I had imagined.
The panicked heartbeat gradually calmed down. Only then did Lan Li realize that she was still fussing and shook her head helplessly, "So, is this a fixed routine every year?"
"Yes, every year." The staff nodded unwaveringly and expressed their affirmation, "But this year is earlier than expected. The main competition unit has appeared before it even started. In fact, we also bet to see if someone will fall into the water today." The staff blinked at Lanli, showing a proud expression, "I won."
It's indeed Italy.
Lan Li's tense mood was really relaxed completely. When she recalled her actions just now, she made a big fuss.
The reporters seemed to have noticed Lan Li's expression, and some people in the crowd shouted, "Lan Li, thank you for your concern. The guys who just fell down must be very excited."
Then someone joked, "Young Master, everyone says that you have a bad relationship with the reporter, this must be a lie! Now we can finally clarify it." A burst of laughter suddenly rang out next to us.
On the North American continent, reporters are dealing with Lan Li in a cold manner. Since the "explosion drummer" accident, news reports about Lan Li have disappeared; but on the European continent, Lan Li is still the darling of reporters because they do not care about gossip news, and the only thing they look forward to is Lan Li's professional performance.
Faced with such a kind joke, Lan Li did not refute, but accepted it calmly, and even nodded to make a thank-you move, as if it was just a performance. The atmosphere became more and more cheerful.
After the unexpected episode, Lan Li did not leave immediately, but stayed there. After confirming that all six reporters fell into the water had been rescued, she took a step forward, but still did not speed up completely.
Passionate and friendly fanatical fans gathered on both sides of the dock and continued to both sides of the red carpet of the Movie Palace Square. Just by roughly estimating from the perspective of sight, at least more than 2,000 moviegoers arrived at the scene. Before the film festival was officially unveiled, they came to express their support for "gravity" and Renli.
Lanli's pace slowed down, signing, shaking hands, hugging, taking pictures... and even a simple conversation. It was a distance that could be completed in just five minutes, but Lanli stayed on the red carpet for nearly forty minutes before reaching the official background board photo area at the end of the road.
One after another, the crew members and invited guests all appeared on the red carpet; at the same time, because it was the world premiere of "Georgeous" and the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, the jury judges from various units also made a collective appearance.
I have said before that among the three major European film festivals, Venice is the one with the closest relationship with the Asian film industry, especially Chinese films. They had a golden decade in the 1990s, and countless Chinese-language films have expanded their influence around the world after making their debut in Water City.
It is worth mentioning that Venice is the only place among the three major film festivals where two Chinese directors have twice won the highest award Golden Lion Award. Zhang Yimou has successively won the title with the "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" in 1992 and "No one can be missed" in 1999; and Li/An has also relied on the "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005 and the "Lust, Caution" in 2007 to capture the Golden Lion.
Two Asian faces appeared among the eight members of the jury of the main competition unit this year, Jiang/Wen from China and Ryuichi Sakamoto from Japan. Unfortunately, the overall quality of Chinese-language films has shown a downward trend in recent years. There is only one Chinese-language work that can enter the main competition unit of Venice this year, Cai Ming/liang's "outing".
As the guests arrived at the scene, the red carpet gradually became noisy and noisy. Because the main competition unit had not officially started, everyone was relatively relaxed, and greetings seemed much more relaxed. The atmosphere in the entire square was a harmonious and relaxed freehand style.
Renley is discussing enthusiastically with Xavier Dolan and Philippe Garrel. The former is a Canadian genius director who emerged in 2009 with a movie "I Kill My Mom", while the latter is an important director between the French New Wave and the Post-New Wave era.
The three of them gathered together to exchange their views on the movie. Unconsciously, a small group of people gathered next to them, becoming a beautiful landscape on the red carpet.
In the bustling noise, Lan Li noticed a figure appearing on the red carpet, her eyes left Xavier and Philip, and projected towards the petite figure:
Rooney arrived in time after all.
Chapter completed!
