The Venice Film Festival is over.

It can be said that he went away with the excitement and returned with the defeat.

Comrade Jiang Wen was very injured and dragged Qin Muchu to get drunk that night.

However, the news that Li Yu won the Golden Lion Award again came back to China, and it was a carnival.

In 2004, Li Yu won the Golden Lion Award for "Brokeback Mountain", but "Brokeback Mountain" is a foreign film, and the award-winning "Lust, Caution" is a real Celestial Empire film.

The national pride exploded instantly, and the major media overwhelmingly reported the information about "Lust, Caution", and Tang Wei, the heroine of the movie, also became famous in one fell swoop.

has become the most discussed female star at the moment.

Especially when the uncut version of "Lust, Caution" was released on Hong Kong Island, the large-scale plot put her on the cusp for a while.

There are both praise and criticism, but on the whole she is positive, thinking that she is dedicated to art.

……

The time came to October unconsciously.

"The voice is calmer, like sharing your day with someone in small talk, a little lighter, not so heavy."

In the dubbing room, Qin Muchu was dubbing Zhang Songwen instructing Zhang Songwen.

The characters' lines are fine, but there is a problem with the narration part of the movie.

Zhang Songwen's understanding is different from Qin Muchu's, and he uses a very heavy tone when narrating, as if he wants to show the suffering of the character.

After listening to Qin Muchu's words, he nodded and readjusted, and entered the recording studio again.

After a while, it was over again.

"Speak a little slower, don't be too rushed."

Again......

The dubbing work is so boring, word by word, and the actors are very tired psychologically and physically.

Fortunately, most of the scenes in the movie are recorded on the spot, and only in some very noisy places, there is no way to record live, so the post-dubbing is chosen.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

"It's hard work, go back and rest early, it should be about the same in two days." Qin Muchu patted Zhang Songwen's shoulder.

"It's not hard." Zhang Songwen waved his hand again and again.

There was some hesitation on his face, and Qin Muchu saw it:

"Brother Wen, just say something."

Zhang Songwen smiled embarrassedly:

"I heard that our movie is going to win an award, I don't know, what award is going to be awarded?"

Looking at Zhang Songwen's expectant eyes, Qin Muchu could also understand his curiosity, no actor could refuse the temptation of the award.

Qin Muchu didn't hide it, and directly told him the result:

"Berlin and the Oscars."

"Berlin!? Oscar!? ”

Zhang Songwen's eyes widened instantly, his face was half surprised, half worried.

swallowed saliva;

"Come up and play so big? Don't think about the domestic ones? ”

"Consider it, go to those two first, and go back to the Hong Kong Island Academy Awards in April next year, the time is just right.

We have a clear goal, as long as the first two can be shortlisted for the main competition unit and nomination, we will make further efforts at the Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Qin Muchu said with a smile.

It's not that he's modest, it's true.

Jiang Wen's Venice escort not only hit Jiang Wen, but also silenced Qin Muchu's previously restless heart.

"The Sun" can be regarded as a literary film, and it is an absolute literary film, it stands to reason that this kind of film should be particularly loved by film festivals, and there is a great chance of winning awards.

But "The Sun" was upset, and the particles were not received.

Therefore, the award presentation of the film festival is really unpredictable, Qin Muchu has already followed the fate, lest he be the same as Jiang Wen, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

At this time, I was coaxing my son at home, very depressed, and said that I would accompany the child and give the child a complete childhood.

The co-authorship did not win the award, and it also has the effect of awakening father's love.

As for why Qin Muchu didn't sign up for the recent Golden Horse Awards, it started in December.

Two reasons.

The film is expected to be completed in November, and if it is released directly without considering the schedule after production, it will barely catch up with the Golden Horse Awards.

But this year's Golden Horse Awards have basically been decided - "Lust, Caution".

Everyone has won the Golden Lion Award, and the Golden Horse Award jury will not give it an award if it has no problem with its brain.

What, are you better than Venice?

Okay, you can play by yourself, and everyone won't participate in the future.

Although the Golden Horse Awards have a lot of operations in the underworld, they don't dare to do this, and their credibility has completely collapsed.

Therefore, this Golden Horse Awards is bound to be swept by "Lust, Caution", and Qin Muchu doesn't want to be cannon fodder in the past.

Another reason is that the Berlin Film Festival gives priority to films with world premieres, and Qin Muchu cannot reduce his chances of being shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival for the sake of the Golden Horse Awards.

If it weren't for these two reasons, in fact, Qin Muchu still wanted to participate in the Golden Horse Awards, after all, in this era, the Golden Horse Awards are indeed the most valuable awards for Chinese films.

Both the golden rooster and the golden statue have certain limitations.

In particular, the Golden Statue is very reluctant to films outside Hong Kong Island.

And the reason why Qin Muchu would consider participating is because there are a large number of Hong Kong Island actors in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", although there are not many scenes, it can also be regarded as the first half of a Hong Kong film.

The second is ......

Playing shady with Qin Muchu on Hong Kong Island, can you stand it up to the emperor and the emperor?

……

In a private room of the hotel.

"Is "Lust, Caution" really so exciting, I heard that Tang Wei and Liang Chaowei left the country naked, is it true? Isn't it? ”

Yang Mi leaned over with a curious expression, her eyes flashing with a desire to learn.

"Lust, Caution" has not yet been released in the mainland, and the news from the media and Hong Kong Island is very yellow and violent.

And it is foreseeable that when "Lust and Caution" is released in the mainland, the large-scale shots in it will inevitably be deleted.

Therefore, Yang Mi currently only asks Qin Muchu, who has watched the full version at the film festival, to understand "Lust, Caution".

"Well, naked." Qin Muchu replied.

Yang Mi was even more excited, and asked after her:

"Is the soup in shape good? What about Liang Chaowei? I heard that they are really doing fake plays, is it true? ”

How to answer this kind of question.

I'm looking at the film with the eyes of examining art, and what do you ask is like watching a tertiary film.

Vulgar!

Dirty!

Qin Muchu glanced at Yang Mi up and down, shook his head and sighed:

"You're not destined to be an artist."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why she suddenly pulled the artist's question.

But these were quickly left behind by her, and she locked Qin Muchu's neck from behind:

"Less nonsense, say it quickly, how is your figure? Is it a fake show, isn't it? ”

It's big and it's soft.

Qin Muchu felt the "fluctuating" heart coming from the back of his head, but he definitely couldn't say that on his lips, unless he wanted to feel Yang Mi's fighting skills.

"Why don't you just buy a ticket and go to Hong Kong Island to see it?"

"Come on, I don't have time to go to Hong Kong Island."

While he was messing around, there was a knock on the door of the box.

Only then did Yang Mi let go of Qin Muchu, glared at him and walked to open the door.

Outside the door was a girl wearing a hat and mask, covering it tightly.

"Sissi!"

"Mimi!"

The two girls cheered and hugged each other.

Qin Muchu pursed his lips.

That's the difference between a boy's friendship and a girl's friendship.

Qin Muchu swore that if Zhou Jiaolun met with him to come to this scene, he would definitely kick him to death.

"What about Sister Li, Sister Huimin?"

Liu Xiqian took off her hat and mask and asked.

Today is a gathering of their friends.

Yang Mi's "Wang Zhaojun", Liu Xiqian's "The King of Kung Fu", Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin's "Journey to the West" have all been filmed, and Qin Muchu also has time, everyone gathers together, eats and chats.

"Let's shoot commercials, it seems to be some kind of endorsement, the two of them are together."

Qin Muchu was a little unsure.

He heard Zhao Mingyu mention this matter when he was doing the late stage of the film in the company during this time, saying that a big brand found Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin, and the endorsement fee was given a lot, over eight figures, per person!

So Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin changed their salted fish state and ran to shoot commercials.

Sure enough, money is everything, as long as there is enough money, salted fish can become diligent.

"What endorsement?" Yang Mi asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

Zeng Li's endorsement is a big brand, and they have found a lot of big names to endorse before, and Qin Muchu's company has also done a background check, and only after confirming that there is no problem did the two of them take it.

Qin Muchu didn't pay much attention to it.

is below a small goal, and it is also worth worrying about my President Qin?

"Hmph, what a boss!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

Then I asked about the gossip of "Lust, Caution".

"Lust, Caution? I was also auditioned for this drama at that time. However, the scale was too large, and in the end it could not be negotiated. ”

Hearing Yang Mi talk about "Lust, Caution", Liu Xiqian spoke.

"Huh? It's true? Sissi, that scene is going to be naked, but it's good that you didn't act. ”

Yang Mi held Liu Xiqian's hand.

There are still very few actresses who are willing to act naked in the Celestial Empire, especially in the mainland.

This is something that is inconsistent with the three views of the Celestial Empire.

"Well, so I didn't agree, Director Li Yan said that he wanted to be naked, so he directly refused." Liu Xiqian said with a smile.

did not regret not taking that scene at all because "Lust, Caution" is now popular, and Tang regretted not taking that scene because of the soaring sky.

It was the first time Qin Muchu had heard of this.

Liu Xiqian played "Lust, Caution"?

In his mind, he replaced Tang Wei's role with Liu Xiqian......

Amitabha, sins and sins.

Qin Muchu shook his head and drank saliva to calm down.

"What are you doing?" Yang Mihu glanced at Qin Muchu suspiciously.

"Drink water, can't you see?" Qin Muchu calmly put down the water glass, not panicking at all.

If you don't have any acting skills, how can you mix in the entertainment industry.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the box room again, and Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin also came.

After a hug like a combination, Zeng Li took out something from his bag, put it on the turntable on the table, and turned it to Qin Muchu.

"What's that?"

Qin Muchu picked up the things on the table and asked.

It is boxy, wrapped in yellow paper, about a finger's width and thick, and looks a bit like a book.

"Hui Min and I wanted to go to the company to pick you up, but Mr. Zhao said that you were gone, and said that he had just arrived at a package sent from the United States, which was for you, and let us bring it to you." Zeng Li explained.

Sent from the United States?

Qin Muchu scratched his head, he didn't have any acquaintances over there, how could he still send something.

Is it a fan of the United States?

He directly tore the wrapping paper on the outside, revealing the contents of the package.

A book, and a letter.

"What's that?"

Yang Mi leaned over curiously.

"Comic books, and a letter."

Qin Muchu put the letter on the table, and the moment he saw the comic book, he had probably guessed who sent it to him.

Why write a letter, though?

Isn't it good to send it directly by email?

"Comic books? Letter? ”

Yang Mi looked puzzled, then thought of something, her eyes widened, and she pointed at Qin Muchu:

"You have a godfather over there, too?"

Qin Muchu was stunned by Yang Mi's sudden sentence, and knocked her on the head with a comic book:

"Are you alright?"

Yang Mi snatched the comic book into her hand and said while turning it over:

"Aren't comic books just for kids?"

"So that's what my American godfather sent me to see?"

"Look, you admit it!"

"Huh."

Qin Muchu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yang Mi, and reached out to her to ask for the comic book back:

"Do you understand? Give me back, don't break it for me. ”

"Who do you look down upon? I'm past level 4 in English, right? ”

Although she said so, Yang Mi watched it for a long time, and she really didn't understand a word, and only saw an iron armor flying everywhere in the comics.

"Stingy! Don't look at it! ”

With a wave of her hand, the secret sister slapped the comic book in front of Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu smacked his lips:

"I admire your illiterate but untimid appearance."

"You have to take care of it!"

Yang Mi hammered Qin Muchu in shame.

I don't mix Hollywood, why is English so good?

Qin Muchu didn't mess with Yang Mi, and after putting the comic book away, he picked up the letter again, opened it and read it.

One second, two seconds......

Qin Muchu put down the letter.

"Finished reading it so soon? Didn't your dad say a word to you? Yang Mi leaned over her curious little head again.

But Qin Muchu handed the letter to Liu Xiqian:

"Translate it."

"Haha, you also say that I am illiterate, don't you also can't read English?"

Yang Mi was as happy as if she had discovered a treasure, and immediately took revenge on Qin Muchu's taunt just now.

Qin Muchu touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

He can't be blamed for this, the English in the letter is written in consecutive words, which is a bit sloppy.

His level of English is only enough for daily communication, and it is not impossible to read English at this level, but it is as time-consuming and laborious as doing English reading comprehension.

It's better to let Liu Xiqian, who grew up in the United States, translate.

On the other side, Liu Xiqian got the letter handed to her by Qin Muchu, took a general look, and was a little surprised:

"This man's grammar and some words were from a long time ago, and now Americans don't speak like that."

"You can read it, right?" Qin Muchu asked.

"Almost."

Liu Xiqian cleared her throat and began to translate:

"Dear Mr. Qin, I am an old man on the other side of the distant ocean. It is with gratitude that I write this letter and send it to you along with my child.

I didn't use my email, although many young people advised me to use that so you could get my thanks sooner.

But I think the letter is more solemn and sincere.

I have also learned about the culture of your Celestial Empire, in your ancient times, friends exchanged letters with each other, and I think the same is true of our relationship.

If you're willing to be friends with me, an eighty-over old man, haha.

Oh, it seems to be a bit nagging, it's always like that for older grades.

Let's get back to the topic.

In my more than eighty years, comics have been with me the longest, and I have created one character after another, and thankfully, they have also been loved by children.

And now times have changed, and children can get out of the paper and become characters on the screen, so that more people can see them.

But it all needed money, and that was what I lacked the most, so I had to mortgage my children, one after another.

Believe in the heartache of a father when making such a decision.

Thankfully, you helped me to put fewer children on the shelves and feel more at ease when I went to bed late at night.

I don't know how to thank you for your help, you didn't even bother to intervene with such a large investment of money, and your generosity and open-mindedness make me ashamed of myself as an old man.

Now, the film is about to be completed, and I invite you to witness this moment, I am its father, and you are its savior, and only your arrival can make the film complete.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Oh yes, my mailbox is on the opposite side of the letter, please reply to me with the mailbox, after all, you know, the old man has less and less time and is always impatient, haha.

Your forever friend, Stan Lee. ”
