Chapter 55: A first-line director
Italy, at noon on September 8, local time, Lin Han's plane slowly landed at Marco Polo International Airport, and soon after, Lin Han and Anne Hathaway, dressed in black, were guarded by Li Qiang's four bodyguards, and drove to the foothold.
Venice is a famous tourist and industrial city in northeastern Italy, and the capital of the Veneto region.
Venice is known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic Sea", in which 117 waterways in the urban area cross vertically and horizontally, so the style of Venice is always inseparable from the water, the winding water alleys, the flowing clear waves, like a silent girl, the eyes are pouring tenderness.
Venice is "born because of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water", enjoying the reputation of "water city", and its architecture, painting, sculpture, opera, etc. have an extremely important position and influence in the world.
Lin Han naturally wanted to visit this romantic and elegant water city with his beloved Anne Hathaway, but he didn't come to play, but to participate in the Venice International Film Festival.
To be precise, he came to attend the Venice International Film Festival Awards Gala in the evening.
This year's Venice International Film Festival will be held for a total of 12 days, and today is the last day, and in the evening, the final awards and closing ceremonies will be held.
Limham's stop is not a hotel, but a family hotel hosted by two ruddy-looking, loving Italian couples.
This time he came to receive the award, Lin Han did not bring Yang Yi as usual, and Yang Yi also took the staff to Taipei City to prepare for the next signing city on the grounds of helping Lin Han prepare for the next signing city.
Although the room prepared by the host and his wife for Lin Han and the two is not large, it is quite warmly furnished, with the window opposite the bed and the Venetian water alley with clear waves outside.
"Come, let me kiss it!" After holding Anne and sitting for a while, Lin Han's hands began to be dishonest, Anne knew that Lin Han wanted to, but thinking that there were two old people next door, she refused to obey.
But Lin Han is a veteran of the old hand, under the attack of his hand and mouth, Anne's eyes soon flashed with soft waves, and somewhere warm place was already extremely slippery.
"Hmm...... Hum...... Shh......h
However, Lin Han's body was too strong, and not long after playing with Annie's two mutton fat jade balls, somewhere began to hum and swell again, Annie saw the evil smile on Lin Han's face, so she could only bend her head and use her lilac tongue to serve this beloved man.
After the spear opened for the second time, Lin Han was finally a little satisfied, hugged Anne and rested for an hour, and then began to have dinner with the host and his wife, as for Li Qiang's four bodyguards, there are many people around, and they don't worry that they will be hungry, and the food and beverage subsidy of 100 US dollars a day is enough for them to eat and drink well.
During the dinner banquet, the male host gave Lin Han a thumbs up and blinked again, and the hostess next to him suddenly glared at him, and then said sorry to Anne Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway immediately knew that she had a good time with Lin Han in the room in the afternoon and did not hide it from the two old people next door, after all, this was an old house, and the sound insulation was not very good.
Thinking of this, the blush on Anne's face suddenly spread, and the little hand skillfully rotated the soft flesh on Lin Han's waist in a 180-degree twisting method, and Lin Han immediately bared his teeth and grinned.
When the host and his wife saw it, they immediately looked at each other, and then seemed to remember the romantic absurdity of their youth, holding each other's wrinkled hands, affection, fermenting in a small space, and then diffuse.
At six o'clock, Lin Han and Anne Hathaway set off, this time, Li Qiang didn't have to drive an SUV, because this is the water city of Venice, six people, hired two small boats, and slowly sailed to Lido Island, the venue of the Venice International Film Festival.
At the 59th Venice International Film Festival, there are 21 shortlisted films, most of which are films with strong artistry, that is, they are films with average box office.
Of course, Lin Han's "Chainsaw" is not among them, and the global box office of more than 400 million US dollars cannot be compared with all the other shortlisted films combined.
This year's Venice International Film Festival, the chairman of the jury is Gong Li from China, and there are six judges, namely French director Jacques Odia, Russian poet Yepgeny Yevtushenko, German producer Ulrich Folsberg, American-Hungarian photographer Laszlo Kovacs, Italian actress Francesca Nelly, and Turkish director Yesam Ustaogu.
Well, Lin Han is not very familiar with this group of judges, only photographers Laszlo Kovacs and Francesca Nelly are a little impressed, the former is the photographer of "The Third Kind of Contact", and the latter has starred in "The Silence of the Lambs 2: Hannibal", of course, Lin Han is most familiar with Gong Li!
Therefore, after walking on the red carpet, Lin Han went straight to Gong Li, Gong Li didn't dare to hold it up, talked with Lin Han very happily, and introduced Lin Han to various film industry people who participated in the film festival.
I have to say that Gong Li's trick is flattering at both ends, for Lin Han, he is worried about not knowing people, for other directors and actors, Lin Han is not only a director who has become a cutting-edge director with "Chainsaw", but at the same time, Lin Han is also a big financier.
In the entertainment industry, of course, you have to have a good relationship with all kinds of big moneymen, maybe the next investment movie will think of yourself, and you will become popular because of it!
Many directors are extremely envious and jealous of Darren Lynn Bowsman who took over the guide of "Saw 2" from Lin Han, and everyone knows that under the escort of Lin Han, the creator of "Chainsaw", it is only a matter of time before Bowsman becomes a Hollywood director.
Just walked around, just recognized the faces of the people on the scene, and the awards party was ready to start, which had to make Lin Han sigh: This kind of thing is really time-consuming!
Most of the guests were local Italian celebrities, but also journalists from international media, all of whom gathered in the front left of the auditorium to take pictures of the winners.
Gong Li is a judge of this Venice International Film Festival, and also the master of ceremonies of the awards party, different from the tension of the previous life, this time, Gong Li seems to be down-to-earth and generous, confident and calm, and the film organizer also intimately prepared small headphones for it, this qiē difference is attributed by Lin Han to Gong Li is the world's second superpower behind him - Huaxia!
The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, and in the same way, people who are strong will not be despised wherever they go, Gong Li represents China, and the Italian side naturally does not dare to slack off, and no one wants to face the anger of the Oriental Dragon!
After Gong Li announced the nominated films one by one, he began to announce the winners, first of all, the best film won at the Venice International Film Festival was "Sisters of the Green Mansion", directed by Peter Moulin from Scotland.
After the veteran director who starred in "Braveheart" won the Golden Lion Award, he was quite calm, and stepped down after saying his acceptance speech as usual.
Then there was the Grand Jury Prize, which was won by Russian director Andrei Konkarowsky for "The Asylum"!
On stage, Gong Li continued with a smile on her face: "Next, I want to announce who won the best director this time, who is he?" Well, the winner of the best director at the 59th Venice International Film Festival is Lin Han!! Let's congratulate him! As soon as Gong Li finished speaking, there was a round of applause at the scene!
Anne Hathaway, who was beside Lin Han, looked extremely excited, Lin Han stood up and gave her a big hug, and then, Anne gave her a heavy kiss on the face.
The romantic Italians suddenly whistled, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Anne smiled and said to Lin Han: "I knew you were the best, go ahead, get your award back!" ”
Lin Han nodded, walked up to the stage, and while walking, Lin Han also felt a little unreal, in his previous life, he worked so hard that he almost dedicated his life to the movie, but in the end, he only won the best supporting role.
In this life, he was only nineteen years old, only nineteen years old, he won the honor of best director at the Venice International Film Festival, in addition, he is also a singer who is popular all over the world, and his second solo album "Love" has sold more than five million copies in two months, and the combined sales of two personal Chinese albums have exceeded 10 million copies!
And his solo English single "u-make-me-wanna" has also swept the major charts in Europe and the United States, with more than 10 million auditions and more than 100 million MV hits around the world!
In addition, he is also a best-selling author, and his latest fourth book, "Bubble Summer", has successfully sold more than one million copies in just one week, and the total sales of his works have exceeded 5 million copies!
Standing on the podium, Lin Han first hugged Gong Li, and after accepting the congratulations of Gong Li and the male host, Lin Han thought about it and said his acceptance speech into the microphone.
"I feel honored and lucky to be standing here, there are many people I want to thank, but the woman who has been silently supporting me behind the scenes, and the woman who has given me happiness in the future, is the person I want to thank the most!"
"This is just the beginning, I will not stop my steps, I am Lin Han, I speak for myself! Thank you! ”
In the applause, Lin Han smiled and bowed, winning the best director at the Venice International Film Festival this time also means that Lin Han has been promoted from a new Hollywood director to a Hollywood first-line director, as long as he directs a large-scale commercial blockbuster, Lin Han's status can be completely consolidated!
PS: The stomach is eroded, and he is very sick, and he is recuperating.
