Li Tang wore a black dress customized by the endorsement brand today, with a white shirt with a small stand-up collar inside, which looked clean and casual compared to Cheng Er's decent suit and tie.

At the film festival, you have to wear a dress, walk the red carpet, take promotional photos, and pose handsomely. There are also large and small press conferences and dinners, etc., which are not pretends, but necessary etiquette for the film festival.

The film festival needs the media, it needs big stars, it needs an atmosphere. Only by heating up the scene can you have a sense of devotion to stand with the best filmmakers in the world and show your work.

There is a sense of piety, and then there is the film itself.

"Wow, Bingbing, you're so beautiful today!"

Wu Shixian and Gong Beibi also arrived.

"Sister baby, I don't even dare to recognize you today. Let me tell you, I also brought a cheongsam, which I plan to wear on the red carpet of the closing ceremony. ”

"yes, I thought I was the only one who thought of wearing a cheongsam! Hey, where did you make that cheongsam? ”

"Oh, it was Mr. Li who helped introduce it, and asked a master in Shanghai to do it."

"Really, let me tell you, I've always wanted to find a Shanghai master with very good skills, can you introduce me to it?"

"Yes, I keep the master's phone number, and I can give it to you when I can return to the hotel."

"Thank you......"

As soon as Gong Beibi and Xiaopang met, they held hands and chatted hotly.

Women are truly amazing, just last night's dinner can make the two of them like a pair of best friends who have known each other for several years.

Today, the male and female duo fully interpret the so-called Chinese elements, Gong Beibi is wearing a lotus-colored cheongsam with a delicate pan head, which has the Republic of China style of old Shanghai. And Wu Shixian is wearing a black tunic and a black top hat on his head, just because he is short and a little fat, coupled with his obvious Western appearance, it looks a little funny.

At this time, the grand opening red carpet of Venice has begun, and the first half hour can be described as unremarkable, a bunch of local Italian stars, not only media reporters from other countries or regions of the world do not know, even local audiences and fans do not seem to know each other, when they appear, both sides of the red carpet are quiet, almost no screaming.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the red carpet, Li Tang stretched his neck to look, and it was actually a procession of demonstrations that came out of nowhere and ran to the red carpet howling, mixed with the whistles of fans. Journalists from the media who had nothing to do grabbed their cameras and snapped pictures of the demonstrations.

Although Li Tang couldn't understand their chattering Italian, he could see from the team leader who rushed to the front holding two yellow billboards, one of them wrote in English, "Life in Venice has nothing to do with movies, we are not audiences, we will never pay for your greed again!" ”

Another wrote, "You cut the salaries of ordinary employees, but those top executives are unscathed, where is the change?" ”

There are also other signs with similar meanings, and a sign that says "NOTFORSALE" hanging on a person, which translates to "I'm not here to sell!" ”

Excluding some alternative slogans, the crowd of demonstrators meant two things. In layman's terms, one is "get out of Venice for the film festival", and the other is "give me a salary increase".

If Li Tang hadn't lived in the United States in his previous life, he might not really know what the brain circuits of these people were. The annual Venice Film Festival is one of the biggest events in the world of cinema, and in this half month, hundreds of thousands of fans and films gather here, not only making a great contribution to the local GDP. At the same time, as a business card of the city, the film festival has also played a great role in promoting and promoting the city's tourism industry.

Only people with bad brains will shout something "film festival get out of Venice".

In fact, this situation often happens in the United States, and many of the reasons for the so-called demonstrations are very nonsensical in the eyes of normal people, and can even be described as vexatious. These people have either taken money to build momentum for some ulterior purpose; Or just want to get something for nothing. This is probably the embodiment of the so-called democratic freedom in Western society.

At this time, Wu Shixian actually stuffed his index finger and thumb into his mouth and whistled loudly, just like those fans watching the excitement outside, and at the same time said excitedly: "Cool! ”

Having grown up in the United States and living in the capital for six years, he knew that such a situation was almost unimaginable and impossible in China, so he told Li Tang and Cheng Erkop that demonstrations like this often occur during film festivals.

For example, at the Venice Film Festival here, the theme of the parade the year before last was related to religion. And since last year, people affected by the economic crisis have protested against low wages. This year, it became two groups of protesters: the protest against low wages and the protest against the fact that the film festival made Lido too noisy.

It's just that in previous years, they all demonstrated outside the movie palace, but this year, for some reason, they broke through the layers of encirclement and ran directly to the red carpet to protest.

Seeing that he looked like a treasure, Cheng Er couldn't help asking, "Senior brother, do you come every year?" ”

Wu Shixian smiled and said: "Yes, the three major film festivals in Europe, as long as I have time, I will come over." After all, it is a place where the best movies in the world are gathered, and you can learn and learn by the way. ”

Hearing Wu Shixian say this, Cheng Er showed envy on his face. But put aside the economic aspects, it is really convenient for people, after all, you have a U.S. passport, and you only need to buy a plane ticket to most parts of the world. It's not like going out to the country by yourself, and it's an invitation letter and a visa, which is troublesome.

The organizers are also quite big-hearted, and in the face of the parade crowd with about the same number of fans, they did not attack strongly or drive away, but only set up a row of railings and barricades between the crowd and the red carpet. It can also be regarded as adding some lively elements to the deserted red carpet.

It wasn't until the crew of the American film "Night Terrors" walked on the red carpet that the atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a climax.

"Nicole! Nicole ......"

The fans finally started shouting, and even the people in the parade seemed to be driven by this emotion, and many people shouted along with the fans.

A few months ago, Brother Tom announced her divorce. Kidman, for a long time, has dominated the headlines of entertainment around the world. As the most important guest and façade of the opening ceremony of this film festival. The organizers cleared the red carpet specifically for her and gave her five minutes of red carpet presentation time to welcome the fans cheering on her.

No way, this year's film festival is indeed a little bleak, because the American director Spielberg and actor Jude , who were originally scheduled to participate in the screening of "Artificial Intelligence" at the film festival. Luo was unable to attend, only the little actor Joe. Ormond will attend the premiere. And the opening film "Dust" will also be because of the starring role, the famous British actor Joseph . Fiennes was unable to attend and was distracted. Idol star Johnny who starred in the film "From Hell". Depp can't come to Venice either.

Sure enough, the single beautiful woman who just divorced is the most popular. A black low-cut dress with a cold white skin is particularly eye-catching. Without Brother Tom's foil, she is still tall.

I saw her walking leisurely, standing still on the red carpet, turning around, taking pictures, and picking a few lucky people to shake their hands from time to time, every movement would attract bursts of screams.

"When will I be like her."

Chubby, who was waiting at the door of the rest tent, looked at Nicole on the red carpet, his face full of longing.

"You will."

Li Tang pinched his chubby face and said with a smile.

"Oh, don't mess with my makeup." Chubby turned his head away in disgust.

Standing next to him, Gong Beibi turned his head and smiled at the two of them, although he had not officially introduced them, he knew at a glance that they were a couple.

After waiting in the waiting tent for more than an hour, after the previous round of high tides, it was finally their turn to garbage time.

Although Li Tang also walked through the red carpet of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival, it was the first time to face such a spectacular red carpet, and it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, so he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.

I glanced at Chubby again, and saw that she was looking around curiously. Li Tang couldn't help but sigh secretly: Xiaopang was really born for a big scene.

In contrast, Cheng Er's face was full of nervousness, and his hands were still clenched into fists.

"Hey, are you going to war?"

"Huh?"

Cheng Er was stunned for a moment, and then said shyly: "This is the first time I have walked the red carpet." ”

"Just a few steps, don't be nervous. Don't go too fast for a while, just follow. ”

"Uh, got it."

After such a hiatus, Cheng Er's nervous mood relaxed a lot.

Walking to the entrance of the red carpet, in the Chubby drama, Li Tang and Cheng Er were on both sides, while Nai An, Chang Jihong and Zeng Jia entered the movie palace first with the passes of the participating crew members.

At the suggestion of the on-site staff, Li Tang stepped on the red carpet first, but when he turned his head, he found that Xiao Chubby, who had just been secretly praised by her for the big scene, might have been frightened by the glitz of the sky, and stood there stunned and couldn't move his legs. On the other side, Cheng Er saw that she didn't move, so he had to walk with her and not stand.

"Hey, stupid, hurry up!"

Chubby's head was blank, don't look at her just as if she was curious, in fact, she was hiding the nervousness in her heart, and when she really stood at the beginning of the red carpet and saw the cheering crowd around her, especially the dazzling flashing lights, she froze suddenly.

At this time, she suddenly felt that her right hand was warm, and when she heard Li Tang's voice, she was driven by the other party's strength, and finally opened her legs.

She hurriedly took a deep breath, and in order to hide the embarrassment just now, she replied: "You are stupid." ”

Then quickly adjust your mood and hold the other person's hand tightly.

When they got on the stage, although the host of the scene introduced them in Italian and English respectively, which was shortlisted for the competition unit against the current, the crew of the film "The Third Man" from China, but the fans around them saw a few unfamiliar Asian faces, and the cheers suddenly stopped, at most they waved to them out of politeness.

The same is true for the foreign correspondents, who, after taking a photo, put down their cameras and craned their necks to look at the entrance, expecting the next star to step on the red carpet.

Chubby originally planned to walk to the center of the red carpet just like Nicole Kidman appeared just now, stand still, turn around, and pose a few elegant poss for reporters to take pictures.

But seeing this scene at this time, it was embarrassing, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only look at Li Tang with a look for help.

Li Tang could only sigh secretly, to be honest, it was uncomfortable to treat anyone so differently, but it was still that sentence that had no coffee position and no human rights. The three of them simply stopped on the red carpet and quickened their pace to pass quickly.
