In fact, Director Zhang had won the Venetian Golden Lion once in 1992 for "Qiu Ju Fighting" and won the Silver Lion of the Jury in "The Big Red Lantern" and won the first and second prizes.

There are only two directors who have won the Golden Lion twice in history. Director Zhang should understand that "There is a good thing to say" is too weak and it is difficult to become a third person. It is not very meaningful for someone like him to come and win a small prize.

But this spirit of advancing difficulties is worthy of unconditional support from Su Changqing. If he hadn't been allowed to suffer this crime, he might not have been willing to suffer this crime.

However, two years later, Director Zhang won the Golden Lion Award for the second time with "No One Can Leave", and also won three small awards by the way, which is also the return of the king.

After drinking last night, Mu Mu also asked in a low voice: "We are here to win the grand prize. Even our own people are in a competitive relationship. Is it a bit of a fool to stand up for others?"

No matter what kind of sentiment is, he is like a fool to stand up for his competitors, and ordinary people do not know how to do it.

However, the situation of Su Changqing and Director Zhang is different. They are brothers from Peking Film Academy. Many of the professional courses in school were taught by the same teacher. If there was no such relationship, they would not drink together, and they would not ask for a drumming momentum between each other.

For both of them, participating in the competition is like evaluating advanced workers in a workshop. They still have to follow a set of ethical values ​​unique to the Chinese. They cannot hurt their feelings for an honor. This is an emotional intelligence issue.

Besides, the level of their works is there, and they will not change just because they stand on each other.

Before entering the room, Ajiani also said to Su Changqing: "Let's relax and rest, this is just Venice."

She always looked down on Venice, a sense of French arrogance.

Compared with Cannes and Berlin, the Venetian Film Festival takes a different approach. Some films that deliberately reject commercial and entertainment tendencies are more focused on film experimenters from various countries. They encourage films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some flaws, they can be accepted by the film festival as long as they are innovative, which is a bit alternative.

Moreover, the scale is relatively small. Each unit exhibits about fifty works, which are only one-quarter of the other two major film festivals.

In addition, the venue for the film festival is also quite special. It was not in the downtown area of ​​Venice, but was placed on Lido Island more than ten miles away, and the arrangement was incredible.

Lido Island is small and quiet, with most of the land privately owned. Apart from the road, there is only a public beach. It is crowded as soon as the film festival arrives. It is said that the locals are in trouble.

The reason why it is not placed in the city of Venice is of course because this ancient city cannot find a suitable place to hold it, so it has to be placed on a small island, which limits the scale of the film festival.

So this is a relatively professional film festival, with few novelties, and publishers are far less interested in Venice than Cannes and Berlin.

Someone has calculated that the award-winning movies in Venice are basically lost money, and making money is very rare. This is not friendly to investors. After all, investing money requires a good meal, not making a name for nothing.

However, Su Changqing's movies are not worried about release for the time being. "Black Swan" should be able to break this curse with both artistic and commercial considerations.

He only wanted to win the prize once, and he might not come again again. He did not have the motivation of Director Zhang to repeat and repeat.

The premiered at 2:00 p.m. the next afternoon, everyone gathered in the afternoon, boarded the pre-ordered luxury speedboat from the dock behind the hotel and headed straight for Lido Island.

Although it is midsummer and the temperature in Venice is not very high, twenty-five or six degrees, all men are dressed in black and white dresses and bow tie, and the sea breeze is a little hot no matter how hard it blows.

The ladies were all dressed in cool clothes. Ajani was in a Roman white robe and had Roman boots on her feet. She putting a torch on her was a bit like a free girl.

Mu Mu and Liu Yufei both wore Chinese-style long skirts customized by Chen Jin, as elegant as immortals.

Qu Ying was wearing a black tight black forged long skirt with her edges spread high, which was very sexy.

Director Zhang specially asked Qu Ying to prepare suitable silk clothing, which was easy for models.

Westerners are extremely interested in Chinese silk brocade, and Ajiani is particularly fond of it. She said that the newly-filmed "Queen Margo" contains a large number of silk clothes, all made of fabrics imported from China. After the film was completed, she specially collected two sets of costumes.

She praised Mu Mu and Liu Yufei's dresses and was surprised when she learned that it was customized by Su Changqing's fashion company: "I didn't expect you to enter the fashion industry. Why don't such exquisite clothing expand into the European market?"

She seemed to have conducted background checks, but she was obviously very humble. She didn't know that Su Changqing's Siwei Group's fashion company is also a big shot, with hundreds of stores across the country and a very professional modeling team.

It is a good idea to enter the European and American markets. Jingge has been deeply engaged in China for four years and has become a first-tier brand. If it does not advance, it will retreat. If it cannot open up new markets and go to the next level, it will soon decline. Paris is the world's fashion capital.

When he started his business, he didn't make much money by making movies. Siwei was supported by fashion income. Su Changqing had a lot of affection for the Jingge brand and was willing to invest resources to become bigger and stronger, and go to the world with him.

"Our fashion company focuses on Chinese characteristics," Su Changqing smiled and said, "When I go back, let our designers customize a few sets of clothes for you, which is what I will give you."

Ajiani was not polite or refused: "I think I will like it."

If Jingge enters Europe and the United States, it will require a lot of image advertisements, and Ajiani will be the best endorsement of mature women.

And she quickly reciprocated: "I have many friends in the Paris fashion industry. If I need to cooperate, I can introduce them to you."

The kindness Ajiani showed to Su Changqing was obviously beyond the film collaboration.

While drinking last night, Ajiani asked Su Changqing why she didn't invite her to visit China. There was a special smell inside, which was almost like a blame for acting coquettishly.

Fortunately, Mu Mu and Liu Yufei were not good at English, so they were not paying attention to other topics at that time.

However, Director Jiang and Gong Li who understands English obviously heard it, Benshanzi, Ge You and others also saw it, so they finally dared to ask Su Changqing to bring Ajiani with them today.

This made Su Changqing a little embarrassed. His relationship with Mu Mu has been rumored for a long time. If someone thinks that his relationship with Ajiani is ambiguous, then he will be a senior brother and Director Zhang.

Especially Gong Li, who said he was the same as Director Zhang, looked at his expression and not only referring to his speaking style.

"Of course, let's find time to talk about this."

Of course, this cannot be refused. Su Changqing and Ajiani don’t have much time to worry about fashion. At that time, you might as well let Chen Jin directly connect with his business.

Lido Island is very close, only a dozen minutes by boat, and a large number of ships shuttle between Venice and Lido Island. The island will be overcrowded on the first day of the film festival.

You can see a huge Roman pillar from afar, with a golden lion spreading its wings and flying, which is a little mottled by the wind and rain.

The sand on this island is dark. During the film festival, there are many people on the beach and there are also many people swimming. More men and women put on colorful towels to sunbathe, and they can’t see at a glance.

The nominated film team has dedicated docks and roads that can lead to the main screening venue of the San Marino Cinema without being disturbed by fans.

Su Changqing and his group of people docked, but unexpectedly it caused a commotion soon.
