Venice was the last of the three major European film festivals that Qin Guan hadn't won any awards.
When it came to the discovery of Cannes and the pursuit of Berlin, Venice was like a conservative girl wearing a veil hat, always hiding behind people, tentatively holding hands, giving the other party a little hope, then running away like a rabbit.
However, this year's Venice Film Festival was different.
Qin Guan had been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and his role as Mr. Yi in "Lust, Caution" had made him one of the contenders for the Best Actor Award.
The organizers of the Venice Film Festival attached great importance to Qin Guan.
Thanks to his status, the Venice Film Festival generously gave him a seat on the red carpet.
On the red carpet of the International Film Festival, stars who had participated in the competition could appear together with the director or other members of the nominated film crew.
Usually, the red carpet was a big event. Anyone with a role would take advantage of every opportunity to show off on the international stage.
The organizing committee had arranged for all the members of the same film to walk on the red carpet as a whole.
This not only made it convenient for the host on the stage in front of them to interview them, but it also gave the surrounding media a clearer opportunity to gather information.
However, most people would more or less lengthen the timeline or slow down their pace to make their figure stand out in order to create the illusion that they were walking the red carpet alone. It was convenient for the accompanying studio and the media to hype themselves up and get better material.
They wanted to walk on the red carpet alone, but they were not qualified to do so.
Any movie star who was qualified to walk the red carpet alone at the International Film Festival was either a member of the jury or a world-renowned superstar.
What was the standard for a superstar?
That was, more than 50% of the media from all over the world who had gathered outside the venue wanted to know him.
The organizers of the Venice Film Festival believed that Qin Guan's fame had reached that standard.
The Venice Film Festival needed him to be a hot topic.
As the most artistic of the three major film festivals, the Venice Film Festival was not as commercial as the Cannes Film Festival, nor was it affected by politics like the Berlin Film Festival.
The famous Venice Film Festival in Italy was the oldest film festival in the world. It had been held as early as 1932, so it had an unprecedented prestige.
No matter what, he was known as the 'Father of the International Film Festival', so how could he lower his own status and walk on the red carpet like France did with just a little money? How could he lower his status like Germany, where the political leanings of the country's upper echelons decided the nominees this year?
The Venice Film Festival was dedicated to art.
But because of its purity, the other two European awards, which were supposed to follow behind it, had much more influence and popularity on a global scale than it did.
That was embarrassing.
The final factor for the sustainable development of an international film festival was the quality of its films and its global influence.
Only when you have enough influence will you be able to attract more outstanding films to apply for the nomination.
Venice, on the other hand, had reached a dead end. It had placed too much emphasis on art and focused on underground film experimenters from all over the world.
The organizers encouraged them to make new and unique films. Even if their films had some flaws, as long as they were innovative, they would be accepted by the Venice Film Festival.
They even put forward a slogan: "Film is for serious art."
How could such a film festival attract the attention of more young people? How could it survive in the increasingly modern world?
That was why the organizers of the Venice Film Festival felt like the sun was setting in the west. More and more films were produced by unknown directors.
The kind of people who could be called geniuses in this world were always the rarest kind.
Among the huge number of independent filmmakers, there were not many talented people.
Just like how gold would always shine.
The directors and films waiting for the Venice Film Festival were getting scarcer and scarcer like leaves in the autumn sky.
Qin Guan had arrived at the Venice Film Festival in an awkward time.
He had attracted the attention of people all over the world, as well as a group of gossipy onlookers.
The organizers of the Venice Film Festival were sure that the festival would have the highest audience rating in the world.
Two days before Qin Guan's red carpet appearance, the media from all over the world had filled up most of the hotel rooms in Venice.
And according to the feedback from the municipal department, a large number of fans, who would probably make the entire city's reception system feel strained, were also heading towards Venice.
After all, the countries in Europe were friendly federations that traded with each other. Coming to Venice to cheer for their idols was like giving themselves a temporary holiday.
The organizer of the Venice Film Festival was both sad and happy.
He had placed Qin Guan among the superstars who would walk alone on the red carpet, so Qin Guan was the inevitable choice.
The reason was obvious. The red carpet of the Venice Film Festival was going to be crowded like never before.
How many security guards would the organizers have to send to ensure that the red carpet would go on smoothly?
Just when the organizers were in a terrible predicament, someone had lent a helping hand.
An unknown young man, a man named Salvador, had a sincere talk with the Italian police. He had found the most solid backing for the security of the Venice Film Festival.
For the prosperity of the country, for the development of the tourism industry, and for the world to see Venice as the most beautiful city.
The laziest police team in the world had been mobilized.
For this trip, they had also conducted a big selection within the police circle and selected a group of tall and handsome Italian guys to participate in this operation.
They had to establish a good image of the Italian police in front of the media.
Italy was a country that was blessed by the heavens. It was a little unscientific in terms of ethnography.
The ratio of handsome men to handsome men had reached a ratio of 2: 1.
