The reason why Venice is called a water city is naturally because it is located on the water, with large and small water lanes covered with the city, the Venetian spire boats called Gondola and more than 400 bridges, forming a unique scenery and attracting tourists from all over the world.
The specific venue for the film festival is on the slender island of Lido, southeast of Venice, and is a resort as famous as Libya in France, Miami and Hawaii in the United States.
There are both private beaches and public baths here, and there are all entertainment facilities such as casinos, restaurants, nightclubs, theaters, etc., so it is perfect to hold a film festival here.
The opening ceremony was on August 27, and Adrian arrived in Venice with his team a day early.
It was said that it was a team, but in fact there were only five people, including himself, Katherine, Dennis and two assistants. As for other things such as applying for the competition, Lafone flew over from the United States a week ago and took on the responsibility.
Adrian was a little worried because the deadline was tight, and the first version edited did not achieve the best effect in his mind, but it was successfully passed under Lavern's operation. I have to say that his ability is very outstanding.
Think about it, Paramount's CEO 7 years ago is now Dinis CEO Michael Eisner. As one of the assistants of powerful figures who can develop Dinis to this level today, Lavern must not be underestimated.
This is why Adrian finally acquired Bosworth Film Company when he had a better choice and was cheaper.
After arriving at the hotel, Adrian took a short rest and found Lavern to discuss.
Although he has been following his film company, Los Angeles and London are separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the Americas, and their current bulky mobile phones do not support global communications. If you want to contact them, you either use a wired phone to make international long-distance or use a satellite phone. It is really troublesome.
Moreover, after the filming, most of his energy was spent on the later stages, while a small part of his energy was spent on Catherine, so it was very necessary to take this opportunity to talk face to face and ask about the specific situation.
Eddie Black of the Planning Department, and Clarice Sando of the Editorial Department.
After a few greetings, Adrian got to the point. Although I promised them that no employee would be fired within half a year, I also said that they would be inspected during this period.To be honest, the performance of these two people does not satisfy me.
I think there must be some misunderstandings in the middle.
Lafen said after looking through some of the information mentioned by Adrian. Although Edith and Clarice are not the best employees, they are also considered conscientious.
But it's always true that something goes wrong, right?
Adrian smiled, then raised his hand before Lavern spoke, OK Laver, I just made my own comments and.Since I have given the company responsibility to you during this period, I will definitely trust you and respect your opinions.
Thank you, Mr. Cowell.Lavern said after a few seconds of silence.
Just call me Ed and now let’s talk about the film festival issues.Adrian changed the subject.
OK, Ed, the organizing committee has accepted "Two Big Blows" as an independent film.Lafone said as he handed over the documents he had with him to Adrian.
Very good, so we can save some.Adrian nodded as he looked through.
The key to giving up the name of a film company and participating in the film festival with independent films is that there are laws in the United States that film production companies are not allowed to take into account the production and distribution of the same film.
In other words, if a film company produces a movie and wants to be released, it must be handed over to another film company for operation, which is extended from the antitrust law.
For those groups in Hollywood that own several film companies, this law is just a piece of paper. Replacing the distribution is just a hand from the left hand to the right hand. You should know that even if the Anti-Monopoly Law clearly stipulates that film companies are not allowed to own theaters, these large groups still think of ways to exploit loopholes in the law and indirectly control theaters while small and medium-sized film companies have to abide by this law.
Actually, this is nothing. Hollywood has a complete hair style channel and doesn’t have to worry about someone interfering in the middle, but Adrian doesn’t want to waste that little release fee.
When you start a career, all your money should be used on the edge, so why not participate in the film festival in the name of independent films and hand it over to your own film company for distribution?
Anyway, he has completed it from investment to production, right? There are people from the company to help, but this is not a problem, right?
Have you seen the sample?What do you think?Adrian asked at this time, seeing Lafone hesitating and adding: It's okay, I just want to hear your opinion.
Well…it should be said to be very interesting, but I'm not sure how many people will like this British-style Cult film, and it's basically impossible to be below R level, which will have a big impact on the number of viewers.
Lafone said carefully.
Adrian originally wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan. Lavern only analyzed it from the perspective of the US market, so it cannot be considered a mistake.
How are the release time arranged?Adrian asked again.
On the 31st, Flett Theatre.Lavern replied briefly.
Then let's talk about it after it is released.Adrian smiled and changed the subject again. How is the adaptation rights of those novels?I heard you have encountered some trouble before?
Mr. Stephen King has agreed to sell the adaptation rights of the novel to us, and it may have been signed now; Mr. Michael Clayton's novel is still in negotiations, and it is still very likely to be obtained based on the current situation; the main problem lies with Mr. Winston Glum, who insists that he must participate in the adaptation of the script.
Lavern explained.
Adrian frowned immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke: It is best to get Clayton's novel adaptation rights as soon as possible. If necessary, he can make some concessions, and even let him participate in the adaptation of Glum.... Does he have no intention of letting go?
Yes, Mr. Glum said it was a necessary condition.Lafone sighed.
Adrian was silent for a few seconds: I can understand his idea. A work is equivalent to his own child. No one is willing to dress up his own child at will. But the problem is... His work is a political satire novel, and I want to adapt it into an inspirational movie.If he participates in the adaptation, we will inevitably not have conflicts. This is why I emphasize that this book must obtain full adaptation rights.
What a troublesome guy. Paramount might be forced to do that, right?
He pinched his fingers, thought about it, then said: Let's do this, Laver, you can agree to this condition, but at the same time prepare a special contract, to ensure that after a conflict occurs during the adaptation and cannot be reconciled, we can kick him away from the production alone without any obstacles.
Lafone raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but then nodded without saying much.The conversation between the two ended, and Adrian went back to his room to have a good rest.
The next day, the film festival officially opened in front of the cameras and cameras of countless reporters. The opening film is a work in Italy.
After walking on a red carpet that is not a red carpet, after attending the opening ceremony and listening to the speech of the organizer's chairman, Adrian took Catherine to visit the streets and alleys of Venice.
He has little interest in communicating with European directors, and his goal is not here, and he is just a new director.
Of course, there were still several heavyweight figures from the United States. Martin Scorsist came to the film festival with his new work "Good Guy". He was originally an Italian-American, so he naturally had a special liking for the Venetian Film Festival.
Even his movie themes are often the identity of Italian-Americans, the Catholic sense of sin and redemption, and the violence in American society, etc. This is probably one of the reasons why Oscar has not dumped him for more than ten years.
Since Scorsis is here, Robert De Niro, who has worked closely with him since the 1980s and is also one of the protagonists of this "Good Guy", will naturally not fall behind.
Adrian didn't have much feelings for Scorses, but he liked De Niro's performance very much. But as he said before, he is just a new director now. Even if he encounters a few conversations at most, he will not be too naive. So why should he join in the fun?
In addition, all the movies have been handed over to Lavern, and the holiday was originally part of the film festival, so he felt at ease to play in Venice with Catherine.
The Governor's Palace, Bridge of Sighs, Palace of Rezonico, Piazza San Marco and Church of St. Mark are naturally indispensable. Sitting on the gondola through the water alleys with spider webs is also one of the must-do things. The two even went to the library where "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" was filmed.
In three days, they visited Venice for most of the time.
Venice is so beautiful, I love this place!Catherine couldn't help but say in praise when she came out of the water lane and looked at the undulating seagulls in the distance above Gondola.
If you like it, we will take time to travel once a year in the future.Adrian said with a smile on her waist.
Catherine didn't say anything, with a slight smile, looked at Adrian with Mingmèi's eyes for a while, then wrapped around his neck and kissed him on the mouth.
Adrian took the opportunity and hugged Catherine in his arms and kissed her deeply. The two of them were entangled together enthusiastically, completely ignoring the scenery around them, no different from those couples who were in love.
Seeing this, the boatman sitting at the end shaking his oars immediately started singing. Although he was in Italian, the affectionate taste sang very vividly.
Perhaps because of this love song, the two people kissed became even more enthusiastic.
The specific venue for the film festival is on the slender island of Lido, southeast of Venice, and is a resort as famous as Libya in France, Miami and Hawaii in the United States.
