Chapter 143, Wang Cong's unexpected discovery

As China's largest online media reporter, Wang Cong's purpose in coming to Venice is very clear, "Golden Age" directed by Xu Anhua, and Xu Anhua himself is the chairman of the jury of the horizon unit of this year's film festival. and the Chinese independence system zuò Wen Yan.

At this year's Venice International Film Festival, Chinese faces are still passing by. Although the "Dear" team led by Chen Kexin has Zhao Wei, Tong Dawei and others, they still have not received much attention.

The status of Chinese culture, and even Oriental literary style, in the Western world can be seen. To tell the truth, Wang Cong was somewhat disappointed in his heart.

And the Venice Film Festival, which is known as one of the three major film festivals in Europe, is full of a sense of starry dimness from beginning to night. And the opening ceremony was very simple. Although the organizers did deliberately do this, the real participants were somewhat uncomfortable with such a somewhat cold atmosphere.

Just after Wang Cong finished interviewing Xu Anhua, he was about to take a few sets of photos at random and leave, when suddenly a burst of cheers overwhelmed the whistle on the other side for the first time.

The Venice Film Festival is no surprise with the annual protests and demonstrations. This year's especially fierce demonstrations still outnumbered the onlookers and passers-by!

In such an atmosphere, it was the first time that Wang Cong heard cheers overpowering protests. Even she could clearly hear the protests much weaker.

She looked back in surprise and saw a group of people coming together. And the most surprising thing is that there are four Asian faces in this group. Wang Cong asked the people on the side with some depression: "What kind of team is this?" ”

A well-meaning Western colleague answered her doubts: "That's the crew of "Birdman". ”

Wang Cong's strangeness has not been completely eliminated, she quickly took out her mobile phone and searched for the movie "Birdman". But strangely, there are no Asians in the film's starring role.

Wang Cong had to ask his peers again: "Excuse me, do the Asian faces in their crew also participate in the movie?" ”

The colleague was stunned by her question: "You don't know them?" ”

Wang Cong took a serious look when he heard this, but her myopia, coupled with the limitation of distance, was really a little powerless.

The Western colleague looked at her with a tangled look, and suddenly laughed: "Beautiful Oriental girl, those people are not the main actors of the movie." One of them is a screenwriter, producer, and the others are guest performers! It's Zheng's friend! ”

"Zheng?" Wang Cong has completely given up on treatment, and his face is lost anyway, so he doesn't care about losing a little more!

"Zheng Zhi! You listen to their cheers! Western counterparts motioned for Wang Cong to listen.

Sure enough, it was Zheng Zhi who caught his ears, but the Western tone was a little weird. Wait, Zheng Zhi? This seems to be a Chinese name, huh? Wait a minute, it seems that this name has been mentioned by anyone.

Suddenly, Wang Cong looked up in shock. "Is that him? That Zheng Zhi who plays basketball? After all, Wang Cong is the media, although Zheng Zhi has never set foot in Asia before. But an ALS concert still made many Chinese know this Chinese superstar. Not to mention the fact that he also has an amazing number of fans in Chinese mainland.

It's just that Wang Cong has heard more about him and doesn't know much about him. At this time, I couldn't help blurting out: "He can still write scripts?" ”

Western counterparts laughed. But nothing more was said.

Wang Cong suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have a sense of pride, a kind of pride, such a pride. She could feel the recognition of this peer for the international superstar who had been reported to be Chinese. It seems to recognize him as a member of the Western mainstream. This is the first time Wang Cong has entered this industry and has dealt with Western media for so many years.

She opened her mouth slightly, but found that she seemed to have nothing to say.

This superstar, who should have been the pride of the Chinese, has become a capital for Westerners to show off to themselves. It made her a little confused. How should this account be calculated?

Was it this Chinese compatriot who betrayed the entire Chinese people, or did the Chinese circle ignore this outstanding compatriot?

Wang Cong stood on the spot in a daze, listening to the countless voices shouting 'Zheng Zhi' around him, watching these Westerners cheering for an oriental face, excited, so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.

After a long time, she made the next decision: I must interview him. I'm going to bring him into the eyes of my countrymen. It's no longer a glimpse. It's a real all-round report!

Zheng Zhi somewhat expected today's scene. Although the Venice Film Festival claims to be one of the three major film festivals, its main direction is for innovative films. It is basically unwelcome to commercial films with greater influence. This also makes it seem a bit lonely and widowed.

When Zheng Zhi came here not for the Golden Lion Award, but more for the hotter in advance. There are only two months left before his movie is released.

He is ready to start doing all kinds of publicity. He is not ready to introduce this film to China. Instead, they set their sights on Japan and South Korea.

In the final analysis, the movie "Birdman" is more for awards. For its box office, Zheng Zhi does not have great expectations. Of course, you won't lose money.

His ambitions for the film were not in Europe. And on the other side of the ocean, the Oscars, which is known as the highest temple of world cinema! And he has confidence. Because, this movie in memory will bring him supreme glory.

After attending the opening ceremony, when Zheng Zhi was about to enter the infield, he was stopped by media reporters again.

Wang Cong's position is relatively low, and her weight is still a little insufficient. At this time, she could only rush forward with all her might. In the end, Wang Cong was defeated in vain and watched Zheng Zhi turn around and leave.

Suddenly, she remembered Xu Anhua. Although she doesn't have Xu Anhua's contact information, her leader does!

As the chairman of the jury of the Horizon unit, she believes that she will definitely be able to let herself into the infield and interview Zheng Zhi.

Soon she contacted her boss and told the boss about her thoughts. Her boss immediately made a decision. As the largest Internet video platform in China, his vision and courage are undoubted. For Wang Cong's idea, he naturally agreed with both hands.

When Wang Cong came to the infield with the help of Xu Anhua, Zheng Zhi was already sitting in the area where the crew was. Wang Cong saw that there was still a vacant seat beside him, so he hurriedly walked there.

Xu Anhua didn't say anything, she believed that the other party had her own measure. As the chairman of the unit jury, she has her own place.

"Hello!" Wang Cong greeted after taking a seat next to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi didn't care when he found that there was a person sitting next to him, because the organizer of the Venice Film Festival was simple, so the number of invitations was very small.

At this time, there are empty seats everywhere in the exhibition hall. Although there are a lot of media people at the scene, they will not come here to interview him. After all, the film screening is about to begin. That's a bit rude. And most of these media people who were invited into the infield were film critics. They're not the entertainment media. They are a little stricter.

Zheng Zhi heard Wang Cong greet him, and just politely replied. Taeyeon is not there. Preparing for the show backstage. They are indeed special guest performers this time.

And the performance time is just before the film is played.

At this time, there were three empty positions on Zheng Zhi's right hand. The left-hand side is occupied by Wang Cong.

Wang Cong saw that Zheng Zhi didn't react much, so he had to speak again: "May I ask if you are Mr. Zheng Zhi?" ”

This time, Zheng Zhi turned his head and looked at the person on the side with some confusion. An Asian face. It's not like a movie crew, it's more like a journalist.

Wang Cong saw the meaning of the inquiry in the other party's eyes, and hurriedly introduced himself: "I am a reporter from an online media in China. My name is Wang Cong. I ・・・・・・・"

"You can speak Chinese!" Zheng Zhi interrupted her suddenly.

Wang Cong was slightly startled, and then looked at Zheng Zhi in disbelief, an international superstar who has never set foot in China, actually knows Chinese?

Why has no one reported it? It seems that he has not been interviewed by the Chinese media very much. She suddenly thought of a comment she had once heard. That's why there's been a lack of interest in China's coverage of him.

Thinking of this, Wang Cong didn't know what to do for a while, the other party did not accept interviews with Chinese media, would he be severely humiliated if he stepped forward so rashly?

Zheng Zhi seemed to see her concern. smiled slightly: "Let's watch the show first." When today's screening is over, let's have a good chat! “

After speaking, Zheng Zhi turned around again and sat in his place. The complexion is calm and elegant. Inexplicably, there is a momentum that is fully revealed. This is indeed a man with a temperament.

Wang Cong gave an evaluation in his heart. At this time, I had to watch the show.
