This is his truest thought.

good.

It's just good.

Even though he could tell, Jesse admired this movie.

The reason is also very simple.

On the one hand, this movie is indeed beautifully shot. The director used the camera to give everyone a visual feast in Rome, a city that... well, it can indeed be called a "beautiful city".

Paired with the hymn arias that ring in the ears from time to time, as well as the works of art that have been given souls by famous artists throughout history, coupled with the lens composition, pictures, etc., the movie does have an artistic level of beauty.

.

But……

He himself is also a camera player.

Perhaps for ordinary viewers, the scenes in this movie can achieve the beauty of the trinity of [sound, emotion, and painting]...

But to him...it's really just the same thing.

He admitted that the other party's photos were great.

But the great thing is not really how fantastic his shots are, but the artistry endowed with the city of Rome itself.

And his storytelling is essentially a point of view.

That's cynicism.

Cynicism believes that the pursuit of universal good is the purpose of life, and for this purpose all material enjoyment and sensual pleasure must be abandoned.

This movie, based on this core point of view, tells the story of a writer who was lost in Rome's feasting and debauchery, spent most of his life in a muddle, and finally came to his senses in his twilight years.

That's all.

Even in his opinion, the director is quite a thief.

It proposed a big proposition, and based on the heritage of Rome, the capital of art, as a source of nourishment, it recorded a very empty film with a camera, but it happened to be able to embed a philosophical outlook and turn the empty space into a driving force.

.

And on the other hand...he also added a religious overtone.

He didn't know who Mother Teresa was. But he thought she must be a great person to win the Nobel Prize.

But the scene where the other party finally lives in the protagonist's house and a group of birds "show themselves" seems to him like a mouse droppings in a pot of good food.

He has no problem with religion.

But I really hate the "religious" view.

And I really don’t understand what the use is of letting a hundred-year-old man kneel on the ground and climb steps.

Highlight the sacredness of the video?

maybe.

But as a Chinese who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, he really couldn't empathize with it like Jasmine.

The so-called sense of sacredness is simply incapable of empathy.

But these words seemed a bit disrespectful to Jasmine's faith, so naturally he wouldn't say them, he could only keep them in his heart.

But at this moment, Jasmine said:

"Xu, it is considered to be the most favorable contender for the David Award. It is considered by many film critics to be the only one of its kind!"

"Well……"

Xu Xin was stunned.

Apparently he understood the subtext of her words.

In fact, Xu Xin could almost say that.

Even as the heroine of "Perfect", in her heart, she now feels that the movie tentatively named "Beautiful" is better.

So, he said:

"Jesse, do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"

Jasmine didn't say anything, she held up a wooden-handled frying spoon and looked at him.

The talented director just shrugged lightly and said:

"In awards competitions, it's normal for there to be winners and losers. As for how much love this film will receive from the judges, I actually don't care too much. As for the end... if, I mean, if I lose to it...

…I don’t think it’s what I lost.”

Speaking of this, Xu Xin paused, shook his head slightly, and expressed his truest opinion with the calmest emotion:

"I just lost to Rome."

"..."

Jasmine was speechless.

…

No. 23.

David Award.

The crew members who haven't been together for a long time are reunited.

And Xu Xin finally saw how relaxed the Italian buddies were when they attended the ceremony.

Because they were still drinking together at around 3 p.m.

I definitely didn't drink too much wine.

Jasmine and Antonio hosted everyone at their home.

It's like a small party, where everyone gathers together to chat, drink wine, and rest their stomachs.

It's a pity that Liu Yifei didn't come.

On the one hand, she was not nominated this time, but on the other hand, she was still filming, so she really couldn't leave.

As for everyone, no one actually mentioned any awards or anything like that.

Italians are also very superstitious.

Not plugging in FLAG seems to be universal.

A "party" was held at Jasmine's house until after 5 o'clock in the evening.

Although I kept drinking, I didn’t actually drink much.

On the contrary, everyone had a great time chatting.

Then when the time was almost up, we formed a group and headed straight to the David Award ceremony.

As the movie that currently leads the local box office, "Perfect Strangers" has naturally received a lot of attention.

The moment a group of people appeared on the red carpet, there were bursts of cheers and screams.

And...the welcome to Xu Xin.

Looking at the vegetable baskets filled with delicacies... Xu Xin couldn't say he was moved or he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

What is touching is that our old man Xu is really welcomed by the Italian grandmother.

For so many years, whenever I attend an event, I will definitely have these foods.

And, they are really delicious.

What's funny is...the quantity is really large.

It doesn’t matter if one or two carry them, the audience holding the baskets high over there are all gathered together...

If he really ate these things, he might really be buried in Italy.

So, after taking a group photo on the red carpet, Xu Xin could only accept a basket symbolically without asking what was inside, then took out his mobile phone, turned his back to this group of lovely audiences, and said "321"

"After the countdown, I saved a photo of everyone together in my phone.

He has Twitter.

It's just that there aren't many fans.

Just a thousand or so.

He really couldn't figure out how to repay his second hometown for being so kind to him. He could only keep this moment with good wishes in the image and on the Internet to express his gratitude.

Carrying the basket, I walked to the interview area.

Many people were calling Wario and Jasmine's names along the way.

As the film that currently ranks first among Italian local films with a revenue of 53 million US dollars, they really have a lot of fans.

Countless reporters also raised their cameras to record this scene.
