The water city of Venice, the capital of the province of Venice, Italy, the birthplace of the famous Venetian painting school, the high sky is floating with layers of tile-like white clouds, a green river crisscrossing the whole city, seven points of water, three points of the city, the whole street is like a jade belt surrounding, red, pink, yellow houses like lotus flowers blooming from the water, domed churches with ancient European obvious style stand quietly in a building of high-rise office buildings, ancient style and modernity, skillfully blended together.

Lin Xiao's plane landed on Marco on the island of Tesera in Venice. At Polo Airport, he was woken up by Christina, who had recently been tormented by the script and a lot of references, and couldn't even lift his spirits in broad daylight.

As soon as he got off the plane, he immediately put on sunglasses, not only to prevent the dense flash bombardment, but also to hide the big dark circles under his eyes.

Walking down from the VIP passage, before he could take a few steps, several men in suits and leather shoes immediately walked up.

"Hello, distinguished sir, are you Mr. Lin, the main creator of Chibi?"

As soon as Lin Xiao nodded, the man who took the lead smiled and said, "Sir, your agent has contacted us, your condition is not good, you need to recuperate, the airport has concealed the news of your arrival, you see ......"

Lin Xiao glanced at Christina, the other party's face was already serious, and she couldn't see the impact of the financial turmoil on her at all, and said solemnly, "Lin, you are now a quasi-superstar, and you can't show the slightest flaw in front of the camera." This not only represents your image, but also implicitly involves your endorsement, and no company will use a spirited artist as an endorsement. ”

Lin Xiao smiled, took off his sunglasses and said to the man, "Can't you just leave?" ”

"Oh my God...... You have dark circles...... Smith! Hurry up and take Mr. Lin to the lounge! The man exclaimed, then immediately smiled and bowed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, if you let you go at Venice Airport, the reporters outside will rush in." Everyone knows that your chibi is the biggest winning film in Venice this year. ”

He made a gesture of please, Lin Xiao was also quite helpless, the higher his status, the more he had to pay attention to his image, this was something that could not be helped.

Entering the VIP room, oxygen inhalers, refreshing drinks, hot towels, plus a stylist for foundation, the whole person is not good...... No, it's all new.

"Why are you so concerned?" Lin Xiao asked Christina with his eyes closed while letting a few new stylists nervously put on his makeup—he even smelled cologne.

Christina raised the information bag in her hand, "Cartier has a few rings that want to enter the Asian market, who else but you?" An announcement has been sent. The theme is marriage, which is the spokesperson of the Asian region, not a country. Your image is very important, and now if you see any place stealing your image rights, remember to tell me immediately, it is a few million dollars at a time, and you can't cheapen those pirated copies. ”

The makeup artist was surprised and delighted when she heard this, and sure enough, she followed the right owner...... Cartier, along with Tiffany, Swarovski, Mimotogi, and BOUCHERON, is one of the world's top five jewels, and his spokesperson for the area is basically the top artist in that area.

So, they took care of him more carefully, and it took half an hour before they let him go.

Walking into the hall, Lin Xiao seemed to have come to Cannes again, on both sides were two or three meters high posters, posters, for the entire Venice Film Festival to build momentum, without suspense, he saw Chibi, the largest poster in the audience, four or five meters high, five or six meters long, full of lines of English below.

The huge English words are dazzling, "The world's first 2 billion box office masterpiece!" "The same water, the same boat, two giant ships to create a global box office myth!" "Pioneer of history, the first 3D masterpiece!"

And so on, and so on.

It can be seen that the tourists who often come out take photos under the super large posters of Chibi, and Venice at this moment is full of people.

At the gate of the airport, there were already many reporters from all over the world, and Lin Xiao could see many Chinese reporters waiting for him with excited faces and cameras.

Chinese films shine at world film festivals, how can they not make the Chinese film and television industry, which has always been unfavorable, raise their eyebrows?

"It's coming, it's coming!" As soon as Lin Xiao and his entourage of ten people appeared at the exit of the station, the reporters were already in a commotion with excitement, especially a few reporters with "CCTV6" signs, their faces were full of red light, and they squeezed forward with their cameras, attracting countless blank eyes.

"Kakaka!" At the moment when he walked out, the thunder flashed at the door, and even behind his sunglasses, Lin Xiao felt that his eyes were stabbed.

"Mr. Lin! I'm a reporter for CCTV Channel 6! I would like to ask you what you can expect from this Venice Film Festival! ""林さん、私は日本の「影画のファッション」誌記者! あのは赤壁、ごは何点だったのだろうか? ”“Mr.Lin,couldyoutellmefor3dset,howdoyouthinkofthisidea?”

All kinds of languages have become a hodgepodge at the moment, so noisy that no one can hear them clearly. Christina immediately stopped in front of Lin Xiao, and several bodyguards followed her to stop the crazy reporter.

Damn Venice Airport sold himself, Lin Xiao complained in his heart, but what was reflected was a smile full of Hexi, he couldn't hide from the interview, and he had to express it.

He waved his hand, and a dozen reporters swam over like sharks, and the cannon-barrel-like microphone was almost stuck in his mouth.

"For Chibi, I am very satisfied, but not the most satisfied, my next movie, will surpass Chibi."

At this moment, there was no other sound at the scene except for the sound of the "click" camera, the reporters were excitedly recording, remembering, and as soon as they finished answering, someone immediately asked, "Mr. Lin, so what are your expectations for this nomination for Best Actor and Best Screenplay?" ”

"There must be expectations, and the biggest expectation is to win a unique international award, but other artists have also performed very well, and it depends on the judges of the organizing committee."

"But as we all know, Zhou Yu is not outstanding, and your nomination was originally Best Supporting Actor, why did you suddenly become Best Actor and the Supporting Actor disappeared?"

Suddenly, a voice appeared, and everyone looked at them in surprise.

This is dismantling Lin Xiao's platform, and the implication is to ask Lin Xiao whether he is operating in the dark, questioning a quasi-superstar in the dark, or on this occasion, they all want to see who is so short-sighted.

But when they saw the "CW" TV network sign on the other party's chest, everyone frowned and stopped talking.

This is a TV network owned by Time Warner, and the reason why the other party asked such a question is self-explanatory.

Lin Xiao just swept his gaze and said lightly, "This is the review of the organizing committee, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"So can you go on and ask Mr. Lin, there is no precedent for China to come into contact with 3D, and there are very few IMAX theaters, why did you think of this? Or rather...... Someone else involved in the creation of Chibi? And I didn't see anyone else on the screenplay. ”

The words were asked very politely, but the meaning was not polite at all, this is to give Lin Xiaoan a name of deception and stealing his name, plagiarism is a felony in Hollywood, once found, there is no body!

"Who are you?" Lin Xiao finally snorted coldly, "This is Time Warner's attitude?" I've contributed to the global film process, and Time Warner doesn't have to? Someone who co-created and still hasn't said anything? I'm sorry, I don't want to take your question, but I can also ask you rhetorically, are you the other member of the CW network? ”

Before he could finish speaking, the bodyguard immediately pushed the reporter out, and while pushing, the reporter could still be heard shouting "Shameful plagiarist!" "Deceive the world and steal your name!" and so on.

Lin Xiao sneered, turned his head to Christina and said, "Sort out the information, tomorrow I will sue the CW TV network for defamation." ”

"......" Everyone around them let out a soft gasp, except for the Chinese reporter's face flushed.

This is the toughness, behind the CW is AOL Time Warner, which is simply a face that is not given to Warner in public.

"Doesn't it mean that Chinese don't like lawsuits?" A reporter frantically recorded while muttering to himself, "Why is he so tough?" ”

"Hehe, others make their own production, Sony publishes, Sony can't wait for Warner to go out of business tomorrow, do you remember when Sony was knocked down by Warner for 800 million...... Now with the world's No. 1 film that obviously wants to be filmed, or developed into a series, and hundreds of millions of dollars, who will bird Warner......" someone next to him laughed.

That's what Warner thought at the beginning, and it lost tens of millions.

Lin Xiao's thinking is not in this era, he knows very well that in foreign countries, the law is the most powerful means to protect his interests, not to mention what is his identity? Everyone came to discredit him, and he wasn't in the mood to distinguish them from the flies one by one.

Killing an example is the best result, and the CW TV network dares to make a big statement in public, and he doesn't believe it without Warner's instructions behind his back.

At the end of just fifteen minutes, a short and intense temporary interview, Lin Xiao saw the organizing committee's car, and as soon as he walked over, two Chinese men walked out of the car.

Zhang Yimou, and another man he hadn't met.

"Long time no see." Zhang Yimou barely showed a smile on his old-fashioned face, and shook hands with Lin Xiao, "Win glory for China, do a good job." ”

"Who is this?" Lin Xiao asked.

The man smiled, "The Olympic Organizing Committee of the Central / Propaganda Department, Section Chief Zhao Yongguo." ”

Central/Propaganda Department! Olympic committee! Lin Xiao's nerves jumped suddenly, this is the big head of the big head, there is still a year when the Olympic Games are about to kick off in Beijing, and the Central / Propaganda Department is now in the spotlight of ten thousand people!

"Section Chief Zhao came here to look for you." Zhang Yimou smiled, "Let's go, I have prepared lunch at noon, and everyone will chat while eating." ”
