Venice, Italy, in the words of Uncle Benshan, is really full of artistic germs.

I won't mention the glorious history of the arts, just talk about the film aspect.

The Venice Film Festival was the first film festival in the world.

Perhaps from the current point of view, it is indeed in decline a lot.

Europe is not as good as the Cannes Film Festival, and the world is not as well-known as the Oscars.

But the standard of this film festival is still there after all, and it is not a joke that it is one of the three largest in Europe.

2005 was an interesting year.

From the perspective of Europe and the United States, there are more and more Asian films.

It is said that many awards may not be won, but Asian films, especially Chinese films, often participate in a lot.

For example, the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Yuan Yuan showed off his style, changed his clothes a day, and it is said that he was one vote away from getting the actress.

Of course, not only her, but also many films participated in the Cannes Film Festival.

You know, Shuangbing hasn't competed on the red carpet yet.

And this time Venice, Yuan Yuan didn't come, but there were a lot of other Chinese movies.

Xiang Yang came to Venice, and the film festival has opened, and the opening blockbuster is "Seven Swords".

In this commercial martial arts movie from our China, Master Xu is ambitious, a star from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, plus South Korea's Kim Taeyeon, the momentum is very strong.

At this time, King Yan was still a young student, and Zhang Jingchu in this movie was glamorous on the opening red carpet.

To tell the truth, this sister's appearance is really strong.

Xiang Yang has the kiss of the master, of course, he won't look at it more...... Just two eyes.

However, Xiang Yang knows that the film "Seven Swords" is a completely bad movie, and there is no big problem with the bullet and Li Riyue's performance, but the story of this movie is very speechless.

But there are other films after "Seven Swords".

"Long Hate Song", "If Love", and other films, "Long" This is a movie directed by Guan Jinpeng and starring Xiuwen, and "If Love" has Zhou Gongzi, Xueyou, and Jincheng.

There are even those that Xiang Yang hasn't heard much of, such as "Infinite Motion".

The name of this movie is so strange, and the main creator is even stranger, Hong Huang, the most important event that this woman has to do with the movie is probably her love affair with the great director Chen Kaige.

What happened at the beginning...... Anyway, we outsiders can't say it well, and later it was the first sister of CCTV, and she was a peerless beauty, Chen Dadao is not shallow, but don't underestimate Hong Huang.

Xiang Yang had heard that back then, Hong Ke was much more powerful than the peerless sister, and her salary was calculated in US dollars, with a minimum guarantee of 7,000.

The power of $7,000 at that time can be imagined.

There is also a special movie called "Red Face", Xiang Yang's focus is on the director of the movie, she is Li Yu.

This woman hasn't met Bingbing yet, and the two of them have collaborated on many literary films later.

In fact, in the final analysis, these things have little to do with Xiangyang.

Even, even the many awards of the Venice Film Festival have little to do with Xiangyang.

He is a fledgling boy, and in this glorious entertainment industry, there is no light.

It's clearly people from different worlds.

Therefore, I thought about it before, and what I said to my master Lao Li was also sincere.

He doesn't care about this award or anything, and it's not possible to say it, but since people have already invited us, they are also coming out of politeness.

Xiang Yang is probably the actor with the best mentality in the entire Venice Film Festival.

However, there is another mentality that is also very good.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here. ”

"Come on, come on, look at these pigeons, haha......"

"Is there any way to feed the pigeons?"

St. Mark's Basilica is a beautiful building in itself, and the square in front of it is also impressive, especially with its many pigeons.

Tourists, pigeons, churches, these are intertwined, and it is really impossible not to linger.

The same is true for Tan Zhuo, her fawn-like eyes are always smiling, as cheerful as if a fawn has eaten some fairy grass.

The film festival will take more than ten days, Xiang Yang's original plan was to stay in the hotel and mix up the ten days, after all, the hotel was set by the management, and breakfast was also provided, and out of the hotel, of course, it was all kinds of expenses.

Breakfast can be eaten until 12 o'clock, Xiangyang's money-saving method is, simply don't eat in the afternoon and evening, I just drink the bottled water provided by the hotel.

But there is no way, Sister Tan doesn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, she is also from the bottom, so there are not many opportunities to go abroad, and it is still a film festival.

So, the soft grinding and hard bubble pulled Xiangyang as a companion, and also emphasized one point.

Everyone has no money, so if they can't spend it, they won't spend it.

Therefore, feeding the pigeons, whether it will cause financial losses in the end, this makes Tan Zhuo very entangled.

Xiang Yang couldn't help but be attracted by Tan Zhuo.

Sister Tan, who is wearing a light blue dress, can really be said to be convex and concave, the key is that she still has a pair of long legs.

At this moment, in front of the flock of pigeons, looking like a little girl, innocence and sexiness appear at the same time.

"Ahem......" Xiang Yang coughed twice a little uncomfortably.

"What's wrong with you?" the fawn's eyes rolled again.

"No, nothing. "St. Mark's Basilica, also known as the Golden Cathedral, has more than 500 columns, including ancient Roman art, oriental Byzantine art, and ......"

It's like an endorsement.

"Hahaha...... Tan Zhuo was overjoyed, "Yangzi, you know so much." ”

Xiang Yang had no choice but to blush and admit, "I read what was written in that brochure before." ”

Tan Zhuo laughed even more when he heard this, "You just can be funny." ”

Xiang Yang is actually covering up on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wants to show his knowledge.

But at this time, it is still ......

"Let's go for a walk. ”

"Shall you go inside the church?"

"Forget it, it might ask for money. ”

"Oh well. ”

The two of them are really poor travelers.

So, what's next?

"Yoko, I heard that there is a famous one called the Bridge of Sighs. ”

"Oh, that, in the past, death row prisoners used to walk across that bridge before they were hanged, hence the name. ”

"Wow, I can't imagine you're so knowledgeable. ”

"Ahem...... Still from the brochure. ”

Tan Zhuo laughed again after hearing this, and only felt that the younger brother Xiangyang in front of him was indeed too interesting.

Xiang Yang, he actually always felt that there was something special in Sister Tan's eyes.

"Then go to the Bridge of Sighs. ”

"Actually, there's nothing to see. ”

Although Xiang Yang said this, he also followed Sister Tan's footsteps.

……

Some people are relaxed, but some people are absolutely not.

The most famous means of transport in Venice is the 'gondola' boat.

This kind of ship has two pointed ends, but it can also carry a lot of people.

Li Yang had been in Venice for a long time, and he knew that if a film wanted to win an award at a film festival, it had to do some extra work.

At the moment, he is on a gondola that can hold 8 people, and he doesn't care about the few Asian tourists who come from afar, the key is the one next to him.

"Brother Cheng, this time it's all up to you to help. ”

"Brother Li, what you said is not right, I'm just a judge, I can't help you, if I want to say what I can help, I still have to watch your movie in the end. ”

"Exactly. ”

"Well, besides, it's better for us to see each other less, melon fields and plums. ”

"I understand, I understand. ”

This person who was called Ah Cheng by Li Yang looked like he was sixty years old, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes with glasses were very bright.

He was one of the judges of this year's film festival, originally a writer, his pen name was 'Ah Cheng', and later he became a screenwriter.

The fame is very great, and the famous work is "The King of Chess".

There are many stories in this "Chess King", and the book written by Ah Cheng was made into a movie by the well-known director Teng Wenji, but this story is not over.

Later, a writer in Taiwan also wrote a book called "The King of Chess".

Xu Laowei later saw that he made another movie called "The Chess King" in 1991, but this movie is very interesting, and it softens the content of the two novels of the same name together.

Ah Cheng later wrote the screenplay of "Furong Town", and his main job is currently to serve as the screenwriter of the movie "Wu Qingyuan".

Li Yang...... It's just looking for a relationship.

In fact, only those who are really mixed in the literary and artistic circle really know that the relationship is important.

For example, so-and-so's painting was a blockbuster, why?

It's not a famous character yet, but that guy's work is good.

It's the same with movies, not to mention the Venice Film Festival, Cannes, the Oscars, the relationship is crucial.

Even if a film can be entered, but no one helps to say good things or make recommendations, those so-called judges, or those who have the right to vote, I'm afraid they don't even bother to watch it.

That's the reality.

Especially our Chinese movies, if there is no one to help talk about them, those foreigners will be able to understand them if they have a translator?

Probably, every time a Chinese film wins an international award, there are either Chinese filmmakers or people who know China very well in the judges.

Otherwise, there is almost no chance of winning a prize.

Li Yang deeply understands this truth, and he has found a relationship with Ah Cheng, the teacher, and now he ......

"Hey, Director!"

"Huh?"

"Director, we're here!"

Li Yang was engrossed in his relationship with Achengla, and did not notice that the gondola had come to the vicinity of the Bridge of Sighs.

Someone on the shore called him, so at a glance, who is Xiang Yang and Tan Zhuo?

Ah Cheng was also attracted by this voice, and looked over and found that it was two young people.

That young man is dirty, and the girl next to him is quite good.

It's just swept with his peripheral vision, and he doesn't want to talk.

Li Yang had seen it at the moment, so he greeted him with a smile and shouted.

"I'll tell you the good news, our movie has been shortlisted for the main competition unit!"

The main competition?

Xiang Yang knew that this was indeed tall, but for him, it was not a big deal.

Best movie, actor or something, it can't be "Blind Mountain" or him.

This year's popular "Brokeback Mountain" and the well-known movie star George Clooney have all come to Venice.

As a result, Xiang Yang's mentality is still very peaceful.

But.

"Great...... mu！”

Tan Zhuo didn't think so, she knew what the main competition unit meant, and she was happy, but she didn't care, and she took a bite at Xiang Yang's cheeks.

"Sister Tan......" Xiang Yang covered his mouth with a loss-stricken look.

"Haha...... You're not happy!" Tan Zhuo shook his eyes happily.

The interaction between the two of them made Li Yang laugh when he saw it.

Ah Cheng naturally looked at it all in his eyes, and didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little complicated.
