"Hello!" Yu Dongqing took the initiative to shake hands.

Soon, a reporter found out that there was a situation here and began to take pictures.

"This is your friend?" Bastian glanced at Cheng Cong, who was standing next to Yu Dongqing.

"Yes, one piece."

Bastian smiled but didn't say anything, and had a pleasant conversation with Yu Dongqing.

He was originally a senior director in France, and he naturally talked about films.

Bastian admired Yu Dongqing's approach to photography, which used a lot of handheld photography.

"The short film "Leave Me" you shot was all shot with a camera, and "The Tuner" and "Chinese Youth" also had a lot of handheld photography to create a tense and exciting atmosphere, and I like this way of shooting very much."

"Thank you, this perspective from the language of the lens sets an almost out of order tone for the film as a whole. The shaky sense of the camera implies a state of disorder in all the relationships throughout the film."

The two had a heated discussion about how the film was filmed.

Originally, Cheng Cong planned to leave, but when he saw that some reporters had started to take pictures of the two, he immediately changed his mind, stood aside with a smile, and listened carefully.

After chatting for about a few minutes, Bastian said, "Mr. Yu, I sincerely wish you success at the festival this time, and I hope that your next film will compete in our main competition." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

After chatting with Bastian, Yu Dongqing was about to enter the main venue to attend the premiere, when Cheng Cong whispered: "Thank you, Director Yu." ”

"You're welcome." Yu Dongqing said a word, and suddenly thought of something when he was about to leave, turned his head to Cheng Cong and said: "Although you can't enter the main venue, there are still many exhibited films at the film festival, since you are here, take a good look." ”

"Well, well, I will." Cheng Cong hurriedly agreed.

Yu Dongqing nodded when he heard this, turned around and entered the movie palace.

The long film festival has begun.

The Venice Film Festival, which usually lasts for about two weeks, screens the films in three cinemas on the island every day, and this year two outdoor open-air screenings were built on the Biennale Garden and the ice rink on Lido.

All cinemas require a ticket to enter, and I heard that there are discounts for young people under 26 and seniors over 60 years old.

Of course, for Yu Dongqing, he doesn't need to, he has an official invitation from the organizing committee and can watch any movie for free.

Compared to the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival is small and delicate.

It does not have a large number of commercial cinemas and a complex rail network, only the blue sea that surrounds the island and 74 years of precious light and shadow history.

There are only a handful of screening rooms on Lido Island that host the entire festival.

Each theater has its own unique style, and the most eye-catching one is the Sala Giardino Screening Hall, which appears in a bright red shape. Its large area of bright red color contrasts sharply with the clear blue sky, and at the same time is different from the solemn elegance of the White Movie Palace, which is particularly lively and attractive.

Unlike the Cannes Film Festival, there is not a strong commercial atmosphere here, and there are not many investors who come to buy films, that is, mainly to see the films or enjoy the wonderful scenery of Venice.

Yu Dongqing departs from the hotel every morning and takes a ferry to the island, sometimes accompanied by Nick, and Elena has flown to the United States with her groom, sometimes alone.

If you're interested in a movie, you'll always want to watch it, but most of the time is spent strolling along the beach and watching the blue sea and blue sky, or going to the city to take a boat to visit the monuments.

The days are very leisurely.

After watching a movie today, Yu Dongqing just came out of the cinema and met Cheng Cong, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, sunglasses, and a cool outfit.

When she saw Yu Dongqing, she quickly took off her sunglasses and smiled: "Director Yu!" ”

"Hello." Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Director Yu, thank you for taking care of me that day, let me invite you to dinner, right? There is a Korean restaurant on the island, and the taste is not bad. Cheng Cong sent out an invitation.

Yu Dongqing originally wanted to refuse, but he had been eating Western food for the past few days until he wanted to vomit, and when he heard that there was a restaurant opened by Koreans, he was moved.

"Okay."

"It's not far from the northwest corner of the island, and we can ride our bikes there."

The two of them each rented a bicycle and soon arrived at the Korean restaurant.

One person served bibimbap, and ordered fish cakes, kelp soup, cheese rice cakes, and kimchi, and the two of them ate it.

The taste is not bad.

"Director Yu, I really appreciate you." Cheng Cong started to talk about what happened a few days ago, but was stopped by Yu Dongqing.

"You've said thank you, you're welcome."

"I really didn't expect you to help me that day." Cheng Cong said in a low voice.

"After all, you are still a bright roommate, besides, we are all Chinese, right? It's not easy to be away from home. ”

Hearing Yu Dongqing say that it was not easy to go out, Cheng Cong's eyes were sour.

Coming from China to Venice, where she is not familiar with life, only she knows best how many difficulties she encounters in the middle.

"You, you shouldn't laugh at me for being embarrassed on the red carpet, right?" Cheng Cong stirred the soup spoon with a spoon and said quietly.

Yu Dongqing did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If you want to walk the red carpet, why don't you go to the Cannes Film Festival?" From a business point of view, his influence is much greater than that of Venice, and I heard that the price of the red carpet there is clearly marked. ”

"Yes, I have inquired, the price of the opening or closing ceremony is equivalent to 100,000 yuan, and other performances are lower." Cheng Cong said and raised his head to look at Yu Dongqing:

"But I don't have any money, and my savings have been spent on coming to Venice this time, including round-trip air tickets, meals and accommodation, so I can only come to the free red carpet."

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly in her heart and didn't say anything.

"Director Yu, maybe you think you love vanity and want to be famous, but I can't help it, the entertainment industry is like this, if you are not famous, if you are not popular, no one will pay attention to you, I haven't received filming for more than a year."

Yu Dongqing remembered the scandal between her and Li Shaohua this spring, which really had a great negative impact on her personally.

Maybe it was in a foreign country, seeing someone she knew, and helping her, Cheng Cong talked more.

"I know that the domestic Internet scolds me for being a junior and meddling in other people's families, but I really don't have such thoughts. I really wanted to read the script that night. To be honest, I was also prepared in my heart, worried that he was nonsense, and wanted to leave as soon as possible after getting the script, but I didn't expect him to be so despicable and shameless that he was drugged in a water cup! ”

When Cheng Cong said this, he looked very angry, and his chest fell together, but when he saw Yu Dongqing's face, it was still faint.

It was clear that he was not interested in who was right in the matter.

After eating, the two left separately, and Yu Dongqing went straight back to the downtown hotel to rest.

The chance encounter with Cheng Cong and his help were just a gesture for him, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

But it had an unexpected effect on Cheng Onion.
