"Kung Pao Chicken is here!" Zhang Bufan held a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, as he had done countless times before, walked to the table, gently put the plate on the table, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, I'll open a bottle for you again, you eat and drink first, I'll go get two more dishes, let's drink two more cups today." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll drink too much?" said Tian Xiangzhuo.

"It's better to drink too much, just get a good night's sleep, I've been tired for so long, it's time to take a good rest, right?" Zhang Bufan replied with a smile, turned around and took a half-catty bottle of Red Star Erguotou, opened it and filled it to Tian Xiangxing and himself, "Uncle Lai, let's go first, and I'll go to make the rest of the two dishes." ”

Ping!

The two wine cups touched lightly, each drank it all, Zhang Bufan entered the back kitchen to cook, and Tian Xiangxiang picked up chopsticks and picked up the kung pao chicken, "It's time to take a good rest, I haven't made such a anxious movie." ”

Don't you worry, although the Venice Film Festival will only be held at the end of August, in fact, the registration deadline is only until May 31, and then no applications will be accepted.

So theoretically, in fact, "Five Flavors of the World", which was only completed in June, has been overdue, but who makes it matter.

With Chen Chong's relationship, they simply played a tricky operation - first took a rough cut version, signed up with the help of Chen Chong, and then waited until the later stage was completed, and then gave the official version in June.

This is actually very risky, not only the Venice Film Festival's disagreement, but also the review of the film in China, even if the Venice Film Festival is fine, but if the film can't pass the review in China, then everything is in vain.

Of course, Zhang Bufan can also choose to ignore the domestic audit and forcibly participate, but ...... Look at Lou Ye, Jiang Wen, well, and Tian Zhuangzhuang himself, these are all "pioneers" in this area - taking films that fail to pass the review and going abroad to participate in film festivals and awards, the result is at least 5 years of ban.

Speaking of which, the director of this movie is also Tianzhuang, if such a situation really happens, he will be a unique "habitual offender" in the history of Chinese films.

Uh-huh.

To get down to business, although Tian Zhuangzhuang himself doesn't care about this, and Zhang Bufan doesn't really plan to be a director, it is of course good to be able to avoid this situation.

Fortunately, "Five Flavors of the World" did not have any "touching the line", and it easily passed the domestic review, and it also gave up the idea of "being the first person in domestic films".

Therefore, under the hurried and slow rush of Tian Xiangxiang day and night, "Five Flavors of the World" still successfully signed up for the Venice Film Festival.

I picked two pieces of chicken and a peanut into my mouth, took a sip of wine with taste, nodded in a field-like shape, turned my head and said loudly: "It's okay, Zhang'er, my cooking skills haven't fallen at all!"

"That's a must!" Zhang Bufan replied loudly inside, and after a while, another dish came out, which was not a big dish, but it happened to be served with wine, like this pot meat.

I went into the back kitchen again, and this time it came out faster, because the dish was simpler - shoot cucumbers.

The two of them began to drink on these three dishes, although they said that they wanted Tian Xiangxiang to drink more, but Zhang Bufan didn't really keep instigating it, after all, Tian Xiangxiang was already old, and he was very tired during this time of busy "Five Flavors of the World", so he really drank too much, and Zhang Bufan was still worried that the old man would drink it well.

Picked a piece of back to the pot and chewed it slowly in his mouth, chewed out the oil and fragrance of the pork belly, then swallowed his stomach, and took another sip of wine, Zhang Bufan let out a sigh of relief, and smiled at Tian Xiangzhuang: "Uncle, this time Venice, aren't you going to come back with a best director?"

"Cut. Tian Xiangxiang sneered, picked a cucumber and chewed it slowly, and said: "Don't think about the best director, the competitors are too strong to compare!"

"Yo, it's the first time I've seen Uncle Tian you are so unconfident, what kind of poetry are you talking about, so powerful?" Zhang Bufan asked curiously.

"I don't know anything else, after all, the list of nominees hasn't come out yet. Tian said, took another sip of wine, and continued, "But there is one person, I guess will definitely appear in the main competition unit, his name is Andrei, Andrei What Lovesky, Mao Ziguo." ”

Tian Xiangxiang said over there, and Zhang Bufan took out his mobile phone and began to search for this person.

Tian continued, "This is a great man, he was born to win awards, and his first feature film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, which was a few decades ago, and since then, he has won various awards in Cannes and Venice back and forth I don't know how many times." ”

"Andrei Koncharovsky?" Zhang Bufan also found out here, looking at this person's information, Zhang Bufan also gasped, this one is really the same as Tian Xiangzuo said that he was born to win the award, and not only him, his family is a cow!

Tian Zhuangzhuang ate a few more bites of food and said: "The "Postman's White Night" he filmed this year is very hopeful to win the best picture and the best director at the same time, well, I'm optimistic about him anyway, so ah, what is the best director, don't think about it." ”

"But. He suddenly glanced at Zhang Bufan, "Although I don't have a show, but you kid may not be necessarily, maybe you can really get the best script back." It's a pity, the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival has no awards for film music, otherwise, it should be no problem to win an award for Zhao Jiping's soundtrack. ”

"Are you so confident in me?" asked Zhang Bufan with a smile.

"Of course, do you think I'll just agree to be a director? Tian Xiangxiang glared, and he was right.

Yes, you are picky, and then you pick, uh, what's it called? Yang Guifei's woman?

By the way, it's called "The Woman of the Dynasty, Yang Guifei", Zhang Bufan finally remembered it.

As for what is in this movie? Zhang Bufan thought about it again and again, a big director, a big star, and a big investment......

Other than that, there's just a classic shot of creating a new word.

Ma Zhen!

It's not a person's name, it's a verb, well, a verb on the horse's hooves on the ground.

Of course, Tian Xiangxiang didn't know what Zhang Bufan was complaining about, picked up the wine cup that Zhang Bufan had just filled, drank it all, exhaled a breath, and said: "It is said that over the years, the stick country movies have been getting better and better, but our Chinese movies are in decline, heh, let them take a good look at it this year, in Asia, our Chinese films, are still big brothers!"
