Chapter 958: The Country With The Most Handsome Guys




Translator: Lan_ Editor: Efydatia

Venice was not a welcoming city . It was the least popular major European film festival that hadn't nominated Qin Guan for an award .

It was like a shy maid in a mask who dared not reveal her face .

However, that ceremony was different from the previous ones . Qin Guan had been shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor Award . Plus, he was also one of the nominees for the Best Actor Award with his role in "Lust, Caution" .

The organizers also attached great importance to his presence there . Thanks to his status, they had generously granted him an independent position on the red carpet .





As everyone knew, stars could show up with the directors or other members of the crew at international film festivals . This was the best chance for everyone to show off .

Sometimes, the organizers arranged for all the members of a film to walk on the carpet as a group, with a few steps between them to facilitate the host's interviews and the reporters' questions . However, most people would rush or stall so they could stand out and create the illusion of being the sole person on the carpet . This way, the studio and the invited reporters could collect better material .

The reporters were not qualified to walk on the carpet . The only ones who could were the members of the judge committee and international superstars .

Being a superstar meant that more than half of the international reporters recognized one's face .




Thus, the organizers of the Venice Festival thought that Qin Guan qualified . Plus, he was exactly what the festival needed .

The Venice Film Festival was an indie festival, so it was inferior to Cannes in terms of commerce and to Berlin in terms of politics . The proud festival, which had started in 1932, had the longest history out of the three .

It sure couldn't sacrifice its status in favor of money or politics . Venice focused on art .

Because of the festival's purity though, the other two festivals were much more influential and popular than it was, which made things very awkward .

The sustainable development of an international film festival lay in the quality of its films and its global influence . Venice had reached a dead end by over-emphasizing on art and filmmakers from around the world .





Novelty films and unique skills were encouraged . Although they had some flaws, creative projects were very welcome in Venice . The organizers advocated that films should be strictly dedicated to art . Such a film festival couldn't attract the attention of the new generation or find its place in modern life .

Thus, the organizers had gradually made things worse . The selected films were mostly projects of unknown directors . Talented people were rare in the world . Not all independent filmmakers were real geniuses .

It was during this awkward phase that Qin Guan would come and bring world-wide attention and audience ratings .

The organizing committee could foresee that this would be the ceremony with the highest ratings .

A few days before the ceremony, reporters from around the world had already filled most of the local hotels . Fans were also pouring into the city, embarrassing the locals, who couldn't accommodate them .

The principal of the festival was very annoyed . It had been his choice to arrange for Qin Guan to walk alone on the red carpet .

However, now he was pondering the issue of security . Soon, he got a message from a man named Salvador, who had negotiated with the Italian police and solved the problem .

The police had made an internal selection and picked a group of handsome men who would attend the festival to show Italy's good image .

Italians were blessed, in a sense . The rate of handsome guys in Italy was two to one .
