Flying from Beijing to Hong Kong, Shen Lian joins Liang Chaowei and Tang Wei in Hong Kong, and then travels to Venice to meet Ang Lee, and then they are about to walk the red carpet together that is of historic significance to Shen Lian.

The Venice International Film Festival is an international film festival held from August to September in Lido, Venice, Italy, and is one of the three major international film festivals in Europe, along with the Cannes International Film Festival in France and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany. The highest award is the Golden Lion. Founded in 1932, the Venice Film Festival is the world's oldest film festival, the world's first international film festival, known as the "father of international film festivals".

With more than 4,000 films participating in this year's festival, which is the largest number of entries in recent years, "Lust and Caution" was able to stand out from so many films and become one of the 22 films in the main competition unit, and its praise has naturally attracted attention.

The film festival's "Lust and Caution" is an unabridged version, so it is even more touching, Ang Lee is a delicate person, he is good at using the small to see the big, he shows the potential of the actor, and shows the turbulent Shanghai in the thirties of the last century from a unique perspective.

This year's Venice International Film Festival can be said to be a battle of the dragon, each film is a work of high quality, from last year's starlight is bleak and there are few newcomers, to this year's brilliant situation, discerning people know that this year's Golden Lion Award competition is bound to be a thorny road, and no one has the confidence to win.

On August 28, the crew of "Lust and Caution" took the lead in the media screening, which was the first competition film to appear in addition to the opening film. The screening hall was packed, and journalists from all over the world lined up to enter. A few days before the opening of the film festival, it was reported that "Lust and Caution" was classified as NC-17 by the MPAA in the United States, and the reporters who watched it were fortunate to test the MPAA's tolerance for erotic scenes for the first time. The bareback scene of Tang Wei and some of the bed scenes that were spread on the Internet before are actually just the tip of the iceberg of most of the film's ** scenes. Liang Chaowei and Tang Wei have several frontal nude scenes, even the positions are quite outstanding, and there is even no shortage of sadomasochistic scenes, and the bold Cheng Dù is not inferior to Peter Greenaway, who is also on the list this time. In short, this time Ang Lee gave the audience and Zhang Ailing a big surprise. Town's screen debut is amazing, and it's not just what you've seen in the trailer: she's very flavorful in the film. Moreover, we have never seen a Chinese actor present his body so calmly and without giving people a sense of dirt and inferiority. -- Gao Feng, a Chinese journalist covering the Venice Film Festival

"Lust and Caution" is different from all Ang Lee movies in the past, and the only thing about Ang Lee is that it is very good. During the screening, you can feel the atmosphere of the entire theater staring with bated breath, especially the ** scene in the second half.

The next day was the red carpet and the awards ceremony, Shen Lian's dress was designed a long time ago, tailored to his figure, although there was not much luxury, but its low-key gorgeousness could not affect the senses.

After changing the clothes, Shen Lian shook it in front of the mirror for a while, and then the stylist sent by the company helped solve the matching problem. What kind of shoes and accessories should be matched with this set of clothes, these fashion things, Shen Lian is not good to express any opinions.

"Your all-black suit can show off all your elegance and style, so the design is not bad, and you don't need more combinations."

Looking at himself in the mirror, with a black suit, black shirt, black tie and black leather shoes, Shen Lian sighed sincerely: "I don't know if it's a good omen or bad luck." ”

That night, the rest of the people rested, but Shen Lian didn't feel sleepy at all, he lay on the bed, his eyes staring at the ceiling, and the excitement in his heart didn't stop for a moment. This is the first time he has participated in such a world film festival, and he is inevitably a little nervous. Although as a supporting actor and a newcomer, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to go on stage even if he wins an award, but Shen Lian, a Golden Lion Award-winning film in the world, is still looking forward to it on his resume.

"Knock knock." Someone knocked on the door outside, Shen Lian took his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already more than 11 o'clock. Who is it? Shen Lian didn't think much about it, got up and opened the door.

"I knew you weren't resting yet." Seeing Liang Chaowei standing outside the door, Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief. There are no familiar people here, and if it is Tang Wei who knocks on the door, it will be a bit of a big trouble.

"Brother Chaowei. You can't sleep either? Shen Lian let Liang Chaowei enter the door and picked up the water bottle and poured a glass of water for Liang Chaowei.

"It's not the first time I've participated, so I'm certainly not nervous." Speaking of which, Liang Chaowei already has a Cannes actor, the only actor in China who has won this level of actor, so he is relatively calm: "I'm here to see you." ”

"Oh, thank you, Brother Chaowei." Shen Lian hurriedly thanked.

"Why is "Red Cliff" pushed so resolutely?" Liang Chaowei asked.

"The filming of "Casting a Name" was too tiring, and the role of Jiang Wuyang finally pulled out, wanting to slow down, and I really didn't like the role I was given." Shen Lian didn't hide anything.

"Do you think the script is bad?" Liang Chaowei asked with a smile.

"It's a sure thing that you don't deserve the cast." Shen Lian said bluntly.

"Both Er Dongsheng and Chen Xinxin have praised your ability to study the script, which is really great. I resigned from Zhuge Liang because of this consideration. It's just that there are still some things that can't be helped, and the favors owed before always have to be repaid. Liang Chaowei nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with Shen Lian. Shen Lian is different from him, a bad movie may have a great impact on him. The previous "The True Colors of Men" disappointed many fans who believed that Shen Lian's production must be a high-quality product. And he is different. Many actors, the audience pays more attention to his upper limit works, and is much more tolerant of some of his failed works.

"I also understand what Brother Chao Wei meant. But I believe that Brother Chao Wei will definitely be able to play the role of Zhou Yu well. No matter what the reputation of the movie is, Brother Chao Wei's expression will definitely be wonderful and worth learning from. Shen Lian said sincerely.

"You don't have to be a sycophant." Liang Chaowei scolded with a smile, still very proud in his heart. has been together for a long time, and Shen Lian's words about being an idol are definitely more than just talking. It's reverence from the heart. "This afternoon, I went with director Ang Lee to meet a Hollywood heavyweight."

"Is Brother Chao Wei going to Hollywood?" Shen Lian said enviously. Previously, during the filming of "Casting a Name", Li Lianjie also said that if he had the opportunity, he would take Shen Lian to Hollywood to make a film.

"It's not me, it's a surprise that Director Ang Lee prepared for you." Liang Chaowei's words were astonishing.

"Me?" Shen Lian jumped up, very surprised.

"I shouldn't have told you in advance, I'll go first." Liang Chaowei made a gesture to get up.

"Brother Chaowei......" Shen Lian was anxious and hugged Liang Chaowei. He was tall and big, and he detained Liang Chaowei to death. "Sss Before Shen Lian could be happy, his ribs were pumped and he directly unloaded.

"It's a shame that you're still learning Wing Chun." Liang Chaowei looked at Shen Lian contemptuously: "I've only been practicing for a year before I hit your weakness." "The Grandmaster of the Generation" with Wang Jiawei requires a good foundation in Wing Chun, and during the filming of "Lust and Caution", Leung Chaowei began to drive wooden stakes. I have also consulted Shen Lian a lot. "A science fiction movie. Produced by Sony. The director is a newcomer, and the producer is the famous Peter Jackson. ”
