Chapter 617 Movie Ratings and Repercussions
There is no difference from the Venice Film Festival in previous years, but whenever there are Chinese-language films, whether they are local Chinese or Chinese in other European countries and regions, many people will watch them as long as they have time.

Especially some domestic students studying abroad in Europe, most of them are Zhou Xia's movie fans and fans, so naturally they will also come and see.

After watching "Starting Line", they were all deeply moved by the film's comedy-filled and extremely realistic plot.

Two generations and three families, in order for their children to go to school, all kinds of familiar things they went to school when they were young are staged one by one. The originally very ordinary ordinary life, after artistic processing, the joy presented in the movie makes people smile In the end, what was left was deep emotion.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and every family is parents who hope their children will become a success. Generation after generation, it seems to be doing an infinite cycle. What connects these is the love of parents for their children, and their responsibilities and obligations for the family. In pursuit of a better life, the tenacious vitality of continuous struggle!
Chen Qiao is a student of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Venice. He comes from Zhouzhuang, a famous water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Since he was a child, he has longed for Venice, a city with water, and is very interested in the rise and fall of Italy in the Renaissance era.

After growing up, he finally came to Venice to study abroad with his own efforts and family support. This time, he and his classmate Jiang Peiling served as volunteers at the Venice Film Festival to do some reception work for Chinese-speaking people.

When the day's work was over and they could finally go to the cinema to watch a movie they were interested in at night, they chose Zhou Xia's "Starting Line" without hesitation.

If they were in China, they would probably have to wait several months to see the movie released. This time, they were very happy to see their favorite Chinese-language director's movie in advance through the film festival.

At the end of the 112-minute movie, the two walked out of the movie theater with emotions on their faces. Neither of them spoke first, they were both thinking about some plots of the movie.

"Chen Qiao, I plan to write a movie review and introduce it to friends in China when I go back. Before I went to see the movie, several friends have already asked me about the movie."

After Jiang Peiling came out of the emotion after watching the movie, she immediately said to her friends on the side.

"Well, I also want to write a film review. However, some domestic media reporters who came to the film festival, they should have won the film review after watching the film. Why don't we post it on the post bar, forums, Weibo, and fan groups first? Let's talk."

Chen Qiao made a proposal.

Just when the two international students went back to their residence to surf the Internet and started chatting about "Starting Line" with some people who had watched the movie, Zhou Xia also used the computer in the hotel to watch the reactions of the screenings these days.

Douban's rating was somewhat unexpected to Zhou Xia. Although there were only more than 200 people who rated it, the score was as high as 9.6.

Most people gave five-star reviews, only a few people gave four-star reviews, and even fewer gave three-star reviews, only two people.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xia was in a particularly good mood, and hurried to read some of the most praised movie reviews.

A film review by a film and television enthusiast named "The Red Leaves of Champs" is very popular with many people.

"A movie is at its best when it touches the heart."

"After watching "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" the year before last, many people expressed their feelings on the Internet when will domestic directors be able to make such a film, such a film about education and the meaning of life, I would like to proudly say today, that The day has come.

Being overseas, I can see such a realistic movie where each of us grows up and is full of comedy. I think it is worth the trip from Paris.

It's a great movie that can make people grow. It's about reality and the education system, as well as the different but similar attitudes of the rich and the poor towards education. The power of a positive life.

Family and dreams, children and themselves, relaxed life, and responsibilities to the family, what young people need to learn and experience, is shown through the three generations and three families in the film, through the structure of the double loop, through the young couple themselves There are also various stories about their children's schooling, which let us see the changes in the concept of people in the whole society in the era of great national changes in the past 30 years...

Yes, life is a long-distance race, life is a race, one step faster on the starting line will make you one step ahead, but in the journey, you still need to run fast, otherwise you will be overtaken, overtaken, and trampled. During the gestation process of life, we also have to race against 3 million sperm..."

Zhou Xia was watching seriously, when he heard the bathroom door rattle, Tangtang had already come out after taking a shower.

"Yiyi, what are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and take a shower." Tangtang came to Zhou Xia smelling delicious, leaned in front of the computer and took a look, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't help reading aloud what she saw. A film review.

"Originally, I was a little worried about the heroine's acting skills, but Tangtang's performance, as well as the performances of the other characters in the whole movie, have reached a very high level, which makes the movie better overall and has the foundation to become a classic... , the ones who impressed me the most are the male lead Zhe and the female lead..."

Zhou Xia listened quietly to her reading, satisfied Tangtang's happy mood, and then got up and went to the bathroom.

When he got out of the shower, he found that Tangtang was logging into Weibo on his computer to reply to some netizens.

These people are basically people who have watched the movie at the film festival, and Tangtang responded to reporters from major media overseas. They wrote short comments after watching the movie. Some people @甜甜和周Xia, Tangtang would be in a good mood now, so she simply replied to the two of them.

"You are really free. By the way, tomorrow is the last day of the film festival, and we can finally go back to China. I don't see you buying some gifts to take home as gifts."

Zhou Xia stepped forward to touch Tangtang's soft hair that had been blown dry, sat down next to her, and watched her reply to those people boringly.

"Isn't it all your fault? You agreed to travel with me to other European countries during the film festival, but I didn't expect to write a script in a hotel!"

"Hehe, didn't I spend a day with you in Venice and Rome..." Zhou Xia shook his head helplessly.

After all, the two of them are public figures. Although they are overseas, there are many Chinese people in some famous scenic spots. They can be easily recognized. It is better not to do these troublesome things.

"Okay, you use your mobile phone to go to Weibo, and I'll read some other movie reviews."

Zhou Xia patted Tangtang's buttocks, and under her dissatisfied gaze, hugged her aside, sat in front of the computer by himself, and the two started to do their own things.

Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, several judges and the chairman of the Venice Film Festival jury were arguing about tomorrow's film awards.

The entire list will be handed over to the film festival officials by [-] o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest, and trophies, certificates, etc. will be produced by then, so the time is quite tight.

The chairman of the jury, Bernardo, looked at the other seven judges from all over the world and said: "Since everyone has different opinions, why don't we vote for each person, and write down the awards we think, so as to seek common ground while reserving differences. Let's talk about where we disagree!"
