514 , the public release of the crime of trafficking
"We both got up!" But a certain big director kept procrastinating and refused to go out.
It was until eight o'clock, when it was really too late if we didn't go out.
A certain great director blushed with embarrassment and was pushed and pulled out of the room by his wife.
Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling, the two junior sisters, could not be said to share the same hatred, but they could also be said to work together.
They all focused their attention on Director Dai, with the same idea.
"Oh, our Director Dai...are you up?" Zhuang Ling narrowed his eyes.
"Did you enjoy the wine last night?" Xia Yu smiled.
Dai Chengbi blushed, glaring at them like a ripe red apple.
‘If you don’t open the pot, pick it up!’
Zhuang Ling followed closely and said leisurely, "I don't know if I'm happy or not, but I'm snoring quite happily!"
Dai Chengbi was immediately defeated and almost knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Two aunts, I was wrong. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have stayed in the room and wasted your time. Please don't hurt me. Let's get ready to leave quickly. The screening is less than half an hour away. !”
"You still know there's not enough time?" Xia Yu muttered.
The two of them didn't mean to make a big joke. A little "small punishment but big warning" would be enough to end the story.
Song Xi is still here, so we have to give him enough face as a great director, so we can’t just make fun of it.
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
Song Xi smiled——
She didn't mind.
I just think it’s really good to have these friends!
…
Chen Ning walked on the streets of this exotic and romantic country, feeling the enthusiasm everywhere——
And occasionally, a whistle would sound in admiration of her beautiful appearance.
She ignored it indifferently, but couldn't help but sigh, "How long has it been since the last time Xia Yu's movie was released?"
This is a bit far-fetched.
It was probably the time when "The Cure" and "Jinling Festival" were both released at the Cannes Film Festival the year before last, right?
This is also another "publicly funded" trip since the last one.
In the past two years, Chen Ning has no longer been working alone.
The year before last, she had founded a self-media studio with a few colleagues in the industry who were compatible with her three views and were enterprising, and she was the actual person in charge. The reason why she was so excited about this publicly funded trip was not just because of the "publicly funded" "Two words.
Simply because this time, it was "Xia Yu"'s money that was spent alone. Who would dare to believe it? Fans would be jealous to death.
As early as mid-August, Xia Yu Studio, hosted by Meng Dong, selected ten "lucky geese" from Weibo fans to win a ten-day and ten-night film and television trip to the 72nd Venice Film Festival!
We arranged a small group so that the ten winning fans could experience the quality of the three major film festivals for free, and the most important thing was to be able to watch many films including Xia Yu in advance before their domestic and global premieres!
Of course, regarding the visa issue, after all, there is only half a month, and many people may not be able to apply - therefore, the ones drawn also have corresponding visas, signed long ago, and can travel smoothly, while the remaining ones do not meet the conditions, but they win the prize Yes, there are other arrangements.
According to age, the rewards include "five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation, including multiple luxury gifts, and a redemption coupon!"
Those who have not finished the college entrance examination can wait until the college entrance examination is over and use the gift certificates and college entrance examination scores to get the best family travel package.
In this event hosted by Meng Dong, more than 50 people won the prize, and only ten places were collected.
This event will check the level in real time to avoid "black-hearted scalpers" making the middle price difference!
Chen Ning was unlucky and didn't win the lottery, but due to her strength, Meng Dong took the initiative to contact her and sent her an extra, film and television game——
She was already prepared to pay for it out of her own pocket. She definitely wanted to go. How could she not go?
But unexpectedly, Meng Dong gave her a surprise and at the same time gave her a special opportunity for discussion.
Chen Ning has been wandering around the Venice Film Festival for a week. Although she has long known that Xia Yu will not attend the red carpet of the opening ceremony of this film festival, she is still very regretful - after all, Xia Yu's red carpet style is almost like that of the Chinese fashion circle.
The red carpet benchmark!
Each set is a textbook level of domestic entertainment red carpet styling, and it can "kill everyone" every time!
...That is, this textbook is a bit biased - because those makeup styles are used to their fullest on her. When worn on other actresses, there are not many who can completely suppress the dress. Most of them are just imitations.
But if you can hold on, that’s really beautiful!
Chen Ning did not come alone, but also had several partners in the studio. When they learned that Chen Ning was treated specially by Xia Yu, several partners were also upset for a while. They joked, "They are all big Vs in the industry, what's the difference?"
Is it that big?”
But they all know that Chen Ning was able to receive this special treatment because of Zhenzhen's support for seven or eight years - and her ability to gradually shine like gold in the industry!
Their media studio has gradually grown in size and is no longer simply the preserve of a certain actor or artist. It is also constantly involved in new businesses, such as film reviews, interviews, exclusive interviews... In the past two years, it has become somewhat famous in the industry.
This time, the main task of their studio was to conduct an exclusive interview with Xia Yu - they would definitely not be able to do it themselves, but after learning that Chen Ning had obtained the "Exclusive Interview Invitation Letter" in advance, they did not hesitate
I bought a ticket and came over.
"Do you think we can meet Yu Bao during the public screening?" Chen Ning and the other co-stars are not big fans of Xia Yu or anyone else. When they first entered the circle, they just wanted to chase after stars.
Either the house has collapsed, or it has withdrawn.
If you keep chasing, you won’t chase anymore - when you reach your age, chasing stars? It has no practical meaning...
Just because I could make money in this industry, I stayed.
They finally looked at Chen Ning, "Chen Ning?"
In Chen Ning's bag, there is also a movie ticket for the "Trafficking Crime" theater that she just received yesterday.
But she can't say - I'm going to sit next to Xia Yu and watch a movie together today, right?
She pursed her lips and said, "After all, it's a movie being released, so the chances are pretty good."
The eyes of both of them were suddenly filled with expectations that neither of them knew clearly——
They now express their disapproval of any actor or star.
But for Xia Yu, Cheng Yun, Yu Junhao... this group of people, they still have accumulated good feelings.
Colleagues were also puzzled and asked her in surprise, "Ning'er, how have you persisted for so many years?"
"Why have you persisted for so many years?...You mean, persisted in liking Yu Bao for so many years?"
"Yes! Appearance? Yu Bao is very good-looking, but after looking at it for a long time, it actually feels the same?"
Chen Ning thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you, but you just persisted like that year after year, right?"
She can't always say, 'It starts with appearance and is loyal to character? Appearance is just Xia Yu's least worth mentioning advantage?'
Although the two partners are compatible with each other in terms of personality and outlook, they are not familiar with each other yet, and they would become annoying if they talk too much.
No need to talk so much.
The hotel they stayed in was not too far from the Movie Palace. They walked around a few streets and arrived.
Compared to the huge crowds on the day of the opening ceremony, when the film festival came on the 9th, there were not many people.
After all, you can see the films released during the film festival all over Venice. Except for foreign tourists who want to explore the Cinema Palace, there is really no need to crowd into this small place.
But even though it was early in the morning, there were still a lot of people watching the movie. Several people patted their chests and said with emotion, "Fortunately, we grabbed the tickets in advance!"
The Venice Cinema Palace was built a few years ago and has only three cinemas, with only two to three thousand viewers at a time.
After all, unlike Cannes and Berlin, the place here is really not big. The total length of Lido Island is only 18 kilometers. The places where houses can be built have been built long ago. It is said that this new movie palace has been obtained through hard work.
Chen Ning's partners were relieved. If they had to go to the site to buy, they might not be able to find a good location.
Because it is not a premiere, although there is still a red carpet, there are not many media reporters anymore. It is not officially hosted. You can take photos if you want, but the kind of formation is completely different - because as long as you hold the movie ticket,
Just walk around.
In the center of the movie palace, there are three large posters, and the middle one is the poster for "Crime"!
The color tone is relatively dark, and I used one or two photos from the final makeup release for design synthesis - a photo of Xia Yu and Jiang Tong!
On the left are Zhang Yuqin and Binbin, on the right are Zhang Yuqin and Tongtong, their eyes are different!
With just one glance, Chen Ning couldn't help but hold her breath and tighten her hands.
Very much looking forward to it.
The arrangements of the film palaces of the three major film festivals are similar, with a large giant-screen hall and a series of ordinary cinemas.
But after all, it is a relatively formal event. There are also media, video, and cameras in the hall. Most of them are for image, and there is no queue jumping.
Most of those who can survive this period are richer in heart and have more qualities.
They all queued up to enter the movie palace in an orderly manner, and then entered the theater with their movie tickets.
The giant screen auditorium can only accommodate more than 300 people instead of a thousand people, but the sensory experience is no worse than the main auditorium in Cannes.
In addition to those obtained from the organizer, those who can grab this cinema are all lucky geese.
Because there are not many seats, when Chen Ning and his party came in, less than half of the people were already seated.
"It seems that Yu Bao is still somewhat influential internationally?" Partner Chen Ning was surprised.
Because these days, I have watched a lot of films from various countries, and I also went to watch another one that was shortlisted by China, "Sorrow".
In a large venue, until the end of the movie viewing, there are only a few people. As the saying goes, if there is no comparison, there will be no gap.
Chen Ning is not embarrassed to take all the credit to Xia Yu. Although she has been nominated for the best actress in the three major film festivals several times, she also owes it to camus’ uninterrupted global advertising, as well as Dai Chengbi and director Dai’s years of hard work.
of credit.
She said, "Don't forget, Director Dai actually won the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival for "Smoke and mirrors"——"
Also, the subject matter of the movie "Trafficking" has also attracted considerable attention from fans who love the Venice Film Festival.
Chen Ning also pointed out, "Look, half of the people coming in now, not counting the three of us, have Oriental faces——"
"It's true!"
The two partners suddenly understood.
Then the three of them moved to the corresponding seats based on the tickets they bought. Chen Ning’s ticket was in the best viewing area in the middle, and the two partners were also in pretty good seats. Therefore, they didn’t feel that Chen Ning’s seat was good.
Something is wrong.
Because at the time of voting, her position had already been chosen.
They can only attribute it to Chen Ning's luck.
As soon as Chen Ning sat down in her seat, she couldn't help but become nervous. Most of them were nervous, and a small part of them were excited.
"...I haven't seen Yu Bao for a long time!"
…
At the same time, outside the movie palace, two groups of people gathered together and were shaking hands and exchanging greetings.
If Chen Ning hadn't entered the screening room so quickly, she would have probably been able to recognize these two groups of people at a glance——
One group is naturally Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi, the main creative team of "Trafficking Crime"; the other group is led by Chen Lin, who has become the head of China's official film review column and one of the directors of the Film Critics Association, and he
A group of film critics.
This group of people are also on official business.
But unlike Chen Ning, they were invited by Great Wall Film and Television to watch the movie.
[If there is no box office and only awards, that’s fine too!]
[But if there are awards, and if you hype it up and promote it, you can increase the box office, wouldn’t it be great! 】
This is Great Wall Film and Television, or Yao Yuanqian’s idea!
Who would think that the money is too much? Isn’t it true that I invested so much money in "Trafficking Crime"?
It's hard not to be grateful to Chen Lin, Xia Yu and Dai Chengbi. It was because of his comments that the box office explosion of "Cure" was possible!
Afterwards, Xia Yu didn't have time, but Dai Chengbi really had a meal at his lover's house——
In the previous year's China Golden Rooster Awards, as one of the members of the second jury, the group had already known each other.
I happened to meet them, so I naturally wanted to touch them, and I saw Xia Yu, who was wearing a very low-key dress, and Zhuang Ling, who was very high-profile.
It's hard for Chen Lin not to complain.
'With a combination like yours, it's really hard to avoid being photographed by the paparazzi, okay?'
But Chen Lin was quite serious about Xia Yu, "Yubao!"
Xia Yu also smiled slightly, "Teacher Chen Lin."
After saying hello, Chen Lin asked with a puzzled smile, "Why are you two alone? Isn't Teacher Cheng Zhiqing here?"
As he spoke, he walked inside.
Queue and check in tickets.
Speaking of this, Dai Chengbi showed a hint of helplessness on his face. Cheng Zhiqing and Xia Yu were nominated for Cannes for the first time. They meant the same thing, "Anyway, the chance of winning the award is equal to zero. If I have this time, I might as well prepare more and prepare for national dramas."
Tour.'
But it was difficult for Dai Chengbi to say this. He only said, "The Imperial Theater where my old uncle works will have a national tour in November——"
Chen Lin is also a good person. As soon as he heard it, he roughly understood it and smiled and did not continue.
The Film Critics Association was included in the official list, and naturally it required examinations. Chen Lin had caught wind of it early on.
As one of the first batch of people to take the exam, they have outstanding abilities. In two years, their positions have been steadily improved.
In the past year, as a senior executive of the Film Critics Association, I have been extremely busy.
