Looking at the mixed-race beauty who had had a brief contact, Jiang Yan took a sip of juice.

It's normal for that mixed-race beauty to know herself, but why don't you find out when you meet?

Jiang Yan wanted to ask Lao Xiujie next to him, if he knew her, but he saw that Lao Xiujie was focused on appreciating the "beautiful scenery", so he probably asked in vain.

"It was the labor guide who brought me here."

Jiang Yan threw the pot to Lao Xiujie, and Jiang Luoli was embarrassed to say anything, after all, she was not familiar with Lao Xiujie.

In the evening, Lao Xiujie, who is very familiar with Venice, acts as a tour guide and leads everyone to the famous local attractions.

Halfway through, Jiang Yan left the team and accompanied Jiang Luoli to go shopping.

In the hotel, Jiang Yan, who was finished shopping, first took a shower and lay down on the bed to rest, and three days after the Venice International Film Festival awards ceremony, it is said that the Italian national treasure director Norris was invited to be the host.

Knock Knock Knock –

Just now feeling sleepy, Jiang Yan heard a knock on the door.

I thought it was an old lady, but who knew it was Lao Xiujie.

"Director Lao, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yan completely opened the door and let Lao Xiujie in.

"Norton held a banquet tonight, inviting many well-known directors and actors, as well as the heads of major theaters, are you interested in going and having fun together?" Wearing a suit and dressed quite formally, Lao Xiujie said.

"I don't know these directors and actors very well."

Jiang Yan refused.

"If you're not familiar, you have to go, I just happen to have two invitations."

Looking at Lao Xiujie's impatient expression, Jiang Yan knew that there must be beauties at the banquet.

I thought I was an old critic, but I didn't expect that Lao Xiujie, who is very serious on weekdays, is also an old critic!

"I'll change my clothes."

It was difficult to resist the hospitality, and Jiang Yan was embarrassed to refuse.

Soon the car stopped next to a villa, Jiang Yan looked at the surrounding environment, and Lao Xiujie explained on the side.

I have to admit that Lao Xiujie, who participates in the Venice International Film Festival every year and accompanies him every year, has never won the award, but he knows many well-known foreign directors and knows the limelight of Venice well.

With the invitation, Jiang Yan walked into the villa unimpeded.

As Lao Xiujie said, all the directors and actors who participated in this party were shortlisted for the awards of the Venice International Film Festival.

And the topics everyone talked about were nothing more than movies and acting, Jiang Yan held red wine and greeted him with a smile under the introduction of Lao Xiujie.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan saw a familiar figure.

That half-breed chick!

Why is she here?

"Hello, Jiang Yan, meet again."

Xia Wanqing was dressed very grandly, with a black evening dress and a V-shaped neckline, which was soft and snow-white.

Xia Wanqing is very tall, about 175, comparable to the long legs of a supermodel, plus it is a mixed-race person who adds a bit of charm.

"Hello." Jiang Yan greeted politely, thinking about the identity of the woman in front of him.

Xia Wanqing seemed to see Jiang Yan's thoughts, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and her watery eyes were full of agility.

"I'm Xia Wanqing, the person in charge of the Imperial Cinema Line."

Hearing the Imperial Cinema, Jiang Yan's thoughts were instantly clear.

Isn't the Imperial Cinema Line the cinema chain of Xitian Entertainment Holdings?

"The Tuner" was released in European countries, and the name of the movie theater is the emperor, in other words, Xia Wanqing is a happy person.

"It's a pity that I didn't let Mr. Jiang Yan put sunscreen on me in the afternoon, and my secretary is still thinking about you."

In the summer evening, Qing Qing's watery eyes stared at Jiang Yan, and his expression was quite regretful.

"I'm glad I didn't give you sunscreen." Jiang Yan muttered in his heart.

Being able to gain Xi Ronghua's trust and become the person in charge of the Imperial Cinema Line abroad across the ocean, Xia Wanqing is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

What made Jiang Yan curious was why Xia Wanqing confessed her identity when she didn't meet, deliberately hiding it, she seemed to have expected it when she attended the Norton banquet by herself, and she came over as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry too." Jiang Yan said with a smile.

The banquet gathered a large number of well-known directors, not only Xia Wanqing, but also many theater directors came to try to have a good relationship with these directors, which is conducive to the development of the theater.

Xia Wanqing continued to chat with Jiang Yan's words, the topic was very explicit, and Jiang Yan faced it easily without changing his face.

Jiang Yan chatted with Xia Wanqing while listening to the topics discussed by the few people next to him.

At this moment, the content of everyone's chat at the banquet is without exception, and the three sentences are inseparable from Norris.

Xia Wanqing also noticed this, and keenly noticed that Jiang Yan was very interested.

"Norris's film "Life is Like a Play" hit the street at the box office, with a global box office of only 10 million US dollars!" Xia Wanqing said.

Jiang Yan was a little surprised.

Norris, an Italian national treasure director.

This internationally renowned director, Jiang Yan has also seen the movies he has made, most of which are romantic literary films, which are very tear-jerking and touching.

The global box office is only 10 million US dollars, you must know that this is a global release, and the blood loss is simply a loss to grandma's family.

As for "Life is Like a Play", Jiang Yan has heard of this movie, and it was taken off the shelves on the second day of its domestic release, and it was arranged for midnight.

The reason given by domestic theaters is that Norris's "Life is a Play" movie is often too long, up to four hours, and there is no bright spot.

If it weren't for the name Norris, the domestic theater premiere would not be too lazy to premiere.

Normal theatrical movies are generally 90 to 120 minutes, and 240-minute movies are really rare, I don't know if I think Norris is doing a lot of work!

No wonder everyone at the banquet was talking about Norris...

"It's magical, I think it's amazing, this is Norris, a genius director who made a movie with $10,000 and a box office of $20 million, and everyone can't believe that "Life is Like a Play" is a movie made by Norris."

Xia Wanqing said.

At this time, the most painful, even heart-dripping blood, is none other than Norris's entertainment company, the Lion.

The film "Life is Like a Play" invested $200 million, took three years to shoot, and invited many Hollywood superstars to participate.

The investment of 200 million US dollars, not counting the global publicity costs, consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and the global box office was only 10 million US dollars, and all the theaters released were basically taken off the shelves the next day after the premiere.

This movie caused Norris International Film Master to be questioned, and Lion Entertainment lost so much that it vomited blood, and it has also become the hottest topic at the moment.

"Aren't you the lady of the afternoon?" Lao Xiujie looked at Xia Wanqing beside Jiang Yan.

"Hello Mentor."

Lao Xiujie squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Yan, and he didn't want to call you, how long did it take to hook up with a beautiful girl, and she was of mixed race.

"Jiang Yan, have you heard about director Norris, when I was still studying at the Yenching Drama Academy, the teacher often mentioned Norris and commented that he was a talented director, who knew that when he reached the age of success and fame, he would fall to such a point."

Lao Xiujie was full of emotion.

"Jiang Yan, are you listening to me?"

Looking at Jiang Yan who was standing in place in a daze, Lao Xiujie asked.

"Listening, I'm wondering how Norris's "Life is Like a Play" was filmed for four hours, is there a possibility that this movie is more than four hours?"

Some people died, but not completely......
