"Li Tang, good news! "The Third Man" was shortlisted! Ney said excitedly on the phone.

Li Tang, who was lying on the bed, was suddenly shocked by the news, and hurriedly said: "What are you shortlisted for, the main competition unit?" ”

"Wow, you really dare to think that it's against the current of the unit. Lao Ma just called, and the competition is particularly fierce this year, with a total of 40 films shortlisted in the two competition units. ”

People are like this, they never dreamed of being shortlisted before they were shortlisted. I was shortlisted, but I regretted that I was not shortlisted for the main competition unit.

"How many Chinese films have been shortlisted this time?" Li Tang then asked.

Among the three major European film festivals, only the Venice Film Festival has always been friendly to Chinese-language films, such as director Zhang Yimou, who has won the Golden Lion twice; Gong Li and Xia Yu have won the best actor at the Venice Film Festival; Others, such as Wanwan director Hou Hsiao-hsien, also won the Golden Lion, and Zhang Yuan's "Coming Home for the New Year" won the Best Director Award and so on.

"Lao Ma didn't disclose it, but as far as I know, Hong Kong director Cheng Guo's new film "Hong Kong Has a Hollywood" was shortlisted for the main competition unit this time, don't forget to congratulate Xiao Zhou."

That's right, the last time Zhou Xun went to Hong Kong to shoot was "Hong Kong Has a Hollywood" directed by Cheng Guo. Being shortlisted for the main competition unit means that Zhou Xun is eligible to compete for the queen of the Venice Film Festival this time.

To say more, director Cheng Guo's "Durian Piao" last year was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival. Although this film went home empty-handed at the last Venice Film Festival, it shined at last year's Golden Horse Awards in Wanwan and this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, with the heroine Qin Hailu, a newcomer also from the 96th class of Chinese opera, winning the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer and Best Actress in one fell swoop, as well as the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

After hanging up Nai'an's phone, Li Tang couldn't wait to dial Zhou Xun's phone.

The bell rang for a long time before it was connected.

"Sister Xiaoxun, congratulations!"

"Ah, congratulations on what...... Uh, you got it, too? ”

The weekly news on the other end of the phone was obviously a little late-sighted, but she obviously already knew the news that the film she starred in was shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival.

"Well, congratulations! Maybe in two months, we'll have another Venice actress. Li Tang said with a smile.

"I can't think about it...... Hey, the list hasn't been released yet, how do you know? ”

"Because my film was also shortlisted for ......"

Before Li Tang finished speaking, he heard Zhou Xun exclaim: "Really? Is that the movie you invested in? ”

"Well, yes. It's just that I'm not as good as you, I'm not qualified to compete for the Venice actor, and I was shortlisted for the unit against the current. Li Tang said with a smile.

"Well, that's not bad! Hey, what do you think is wrong with the two of us this year? After filming this drama, he had to cooperate with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and now they can go to the Venice Film Festival together. ”

"It means that we are destined."

Speaking of which, this year, he and Zhou Xun went around and around, and they could always get together.

"By the way, when are you leaving?" Li Tang asked again.

"The day after tomorrow, there will be two more shots tomorrow."

At this time, it was late July, and Zhou Xun's scene had been completed according to the script, but Desjie had a whim to make up two more scenes.

Originally, according to the plan, "The Little Tailor" would be completed by the end of July, because after Chen Kun came back from Chongqing, he was in a very bad state for a period of time, and he dragged on, so that the scene in Zhangjiajie was not completed for a long time.

August 3 is the launch conference of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Li Tang and Zhou Xun will attend. In fact, this day is also the day when "Hero" was launched, but fortunately, Zhang Ying did not engage in these so-called press conferences with empty heads, otherwise it would crash.

It is said that "Hero" has arrived in the Northwest Desert, and the rivalry between Liang Chaowei, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi and the male No. 1 Li Lian are concentrated there. As for when Li Tang will join the group, it depends on the filming progress over there.

And "The Little Tailor" still has a few rivalry scenes between Li Tang and Chen Kun in Shanghai, and it is estimated that he can only come back to shoot again after Li Tang goes to Beijing to attend the launch conference of "Shooting the Condor".

……

"Hey, director, it's enough to make a lot of money!"

Li Tang took a bottle of perfume from the prop, which was impressively printed with the words "YSL Baby Doll", YSL, Yves Saint Laurent is a famous luxury brand in France, translated into Chinese called Saint Laurent Love Dou, if romantic can also be directly translated into Paris Love Dou.

Such a bottle of perfume can cost at least a few hundred dollars in the United States.

Dai Sijie smiled, "It's just an empty bottle, the perfume in it is blended, if it's true, I can't bear it." ”

Twenty-seven years later, Ma Jianling returned to Phoenix Mountain to give the little tailor a gift.

At this time, Li Tang was wearing a wig with long gray hair, and the makeup on his face was also full of vicissitudes. Because the Three Gorges impoundment (another sensitive topic of interest to foreigners) Phoenix Mountain is about to be flooded, Ma Jianling, who is far away in France, learned the news and made a special trip back to his hometown to revisit. It's just that he searched for a long time and didn't find the little tailor.

Today is the last scene, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone is crowded into the reservoir next to the house of educated youths to release river lanterns. Since the daytime, Zhao Chunlin has directed hundreds of extras from the surrounding villagers to rehearse.

And today is a rare good weather, there is not a trace of clouds in the sky, the eye of the sky in the distance is clearly visible, and the shooting window is just half an hour of sunset and dusk, otherwise the sky will all be dark, and the Tianmen Cave in the distance will not be visible.

Fortunately, the extras on the scene were very powerful, there were no mistakes, and the first two shots were shot very smoothly. The last scene is someone telling Ma Jianling that the people who put river lanterns around him will write their names on the paper stacked boats, and Ma Jianling actually took off his clothes and went into the water to find out if there were any river lanterns put by the little tailor.

As he watched the paper boats floating on the surface of the water gradually burning and sinking, he realized that he might not be able to find the little tailor.

So the bottle of YSL Baby Doll perfume brought from France also remained in this water.

“Cut！ Okay, over it! ”

As Dai Sijie shouted to stop, the two small boats next to him quickly rowed towards Li Tang, and the two field workers who put on pulled Li Tang, who was only a pair of shorts, into the boat and quickly wrapped them in bath towels.

Although it was the end of July, even if it was hot during the day, as soon as the sun set, the temperature would plummet, and the water in the reservoir in the mountain was very cold.

After going ashore, hurry down the mountain to the hotel, take a hot bath, and drink ginger soup. In a few days, it will be the press conference of "Shooting the Condor", and this is definitely not the time to get sick.

……

"Ahh

Walking out of the cool airport hall, a heat wave rushed towards him, and Li Tang couldn't help but sneeze heavily.

After the filming that day, he still caught a cold. After sneezing, the two nostrils that were badly blocked were finally briefly opened.

After getting in the car, Zeng Jia took out the cold medicine as soon as possible and handed it over along with a bottle of water.

"Brother Li, you have a good rest today. The press conference will be held tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Palace of Connaught, and we will come to pick you up at one o'clock. ”

Li Tang took the medicine, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

In the past, he didn't catch a cold so easily, in the end, he still lost weight, but now even his body's resistance is poor, and he has to find a way to make up for the fifteen pounds of muscle he lost.

The second update!

Originally, I was very calm today, and I wanted to watch three more, but in the morning, I found that the roof at home was leaking again. The upstairs is newly renovated, and the water in the bathroom is a mess, and water seeps down at every turn. Spent a day with the property and neighbors during the day.
