Li Tang stood on the balcony of the Westin Hotel, looking at the Mediterranean Sea with the sea and sky, which was really refreshing.

Picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of red wine, not to mention that this Italian red wine tastes quite good.

"You don't have jet lag, you sneaked me over early in the morning, just to accompany you for a drink?" He looked back and forgot to glance at Zhou Xundao, who was sitting on a beach chair.

Because of the flight delay, she didn't make it in time for last night's opening ceremony and arrived in Venice in the early hours of this morning. At this time, she was facing the sky, a few naughty little freckles on her face were clearly visible, she was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, and her lower body was showing two smooth little short legs.

It's just that for Li Tang, who loves long legs, these thin little short legs really don't arouse much interest.

Zhou Xun snorted twice and said, "You are the only acquaintance here, who is not looking for you!" Besides, I'll lose sleep if I change places, and you don't know how to care about me. ”

Li Tang shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Don't, it's not my turn to care about you." Didn't you have a little boyfriend, why didn't you bring it this time? ”

Zhou Xun met a little male model who was seven years younger than her when he was filming "Smoke and Rain" last year. What's even more bloody is that this little male model is also the cousin of Dou Wei, the former lead singer of the Black Panther Band and the ex-husband of the Queen of Heaven, and the ex-boyfriend that Zhou Xun has talked about for five years is Dou Wei's cousin.

It turned out to be a family going around and around, and you said that the relationship was messy.

As a result, Zhou Xun sighed faintly: "Don't mention it, we have broken up a long time ago." ”

Li Tang was not surprised by this at all, after all, the little boy had just debuted, he was very immature, and he was charmed by the old aunt without paying attention, if the man did not pursue the most cute hobby of height difference, this relationship would definitely not last. And there may be a master behind her who will use her as a springboard.

Just like the scandal between Princess Tianhou and Xie Tingfeng last year, the age difference between this pair is even greater, a difference of eleven years. For Xie Tingfeng, who has just debuted, falling in love with a diva has greatly increased his exposure and popularity, and now he is the number one person of the new generation in Hong Kong.

Zhou Xun saw that he was silent, but asked, "You don't ask me why I broke up?" ”

Li Tang shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help laughing: "I see that you are in a good state now, and I never inquire about this kind of thing involving personal privacy." ”

Zhou Xun pursed his lips, and then asked, "You're pretty good with your little friend, right?" ”

In fact, the eldest brother of the two is not to mention the second brother, Li Tang and Fan Xiaopang are also seven years apart.

"Well, it's okay!"

"Then I'll invite you to dinner today." Zhou Xun suddenly said with interest.

She has been in contact with Fan Xiaopang a few times, in fact, she doesn't understand it, Fan Xiaopang probably can't see anything special except for being beautiful, do men like that kind of woman who is young and beautiful, but has no connotation?

Li Tang shook his head and said: "Not today, tonight the short film "Che Forty-Four" directed by Wu Shixian premiered, and I said I would watch it." Let's do it another day. ”

Zhou Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go together, too." ”

Li Tang smiled: "Of course you are welcome to go to other people's homes, but people are still worried that they can't find a big coffee to support the scene." ”

"What kind of big guy am I, I'm a passerby in Europe."

"How can you be a passerby, this time you will be arranged here. We had to nest in a guest house. ”

Speaking of this, Li Tang's heart is really a little sour, no way, who calls someone a Paris actress. Don't look at the Paris International Film Festival's reputation in China, but in Europe it is similar to the Busan Film Festival in Asia. You say that a movie from the Busan Film Festival later participates in our domestic Golden Rooster Awards or Shanghai International Film Festival, etc., it must be treated as a guest.

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "I borrowed the light of Director Cheng." ”

Cheng Guo was shortlisted for the main competition unit last year, although he did not win the award, but this time he was shortlisted again, and for the organizers of the film festival, it can be regarded as a descendant worth cultivating in Asia. The two factors add up, and they are definitely eligible to stay at Westin.

……

There are as many as 40 films shortlisted for the two competition units in this film festival, which exceeds the number of previous editions, and the number of films in various screening units adds up to more than 100.

The movie palace is such a big place, in addition to the main venue that can accommodate more than 1,000 people, there are also several small halls that can accommodate more than 100, 200, 300, and 500. Feature films are screened in various theaters, so the number of screenings of shortlisted films has to be reduced compared to previous years.

For example, "The Third Man" was arranged in a small hall that could accommodate about 300 people, and in addition to the media session before the premiere, two screenings were also arranged, one premiere and one regular screening.

In addition, the Cinema Palace has several screening rooms with only a few dozen seats, which are too small to be called "halls". Because of the length of the short films, most of them are arranged to be screened in this kind of screening room, so there are no red carpet premieres.

Despite this, Chubby still dressed up carefully. In her words, this is the first event she has attended since the opening ceremony, and of course it should be taken seriously.

In contrast, Zhou Xun is much more casual, with T-shirts, cropped pants, and flip-flops, which are completely dressed as tourists.

When Li Tang, Xiaopang, Cheng Er and others came to the gate of the Lido Movie Palace to meet Zhou Xun, she was followed by a little black fat man about forty years old.

"This is Director Cheng Guo."

"This is Li Tang, this is Fan Binbin, this is ......"

Zhou Xun introduced the two parties, but she didn't know Cheng Er.

Li Tang hurriedly introduced: "This is our director Cheng Er. Hello Director Cheng! ”

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"Miss Fan!"

"Director Cheng!"

Cheng Guo shook hands with them one by one in a very inaccurate Mandarin.

After a brief greeting, the group walked into the movie palace.

Wu Shixian and Gong Bei were waiting at the door of the screening room in full costume, as the audience of the last film festival, Wu Shixian of course knew Director Cheng Guo, and Zhou Xun also came, the two of them were inevitably a little flattered and busy to catch up.

The media reporters cruising in the Palais du Cinema naturally also knew Cheng Guo and the Paris actress Weekly News, and they stepped forward to take pictures and interview a few words by the way.

Because of the reporter's attention, it helped the short film "Car Forty-Four" attract a wave, and many fans stopped and walked into the screening room with the mentality of trying it out.

When Li Tang and the others walked in, the small screening room was already full. In addition to fans, there are also several reporters and filmmakers.

"Brother Li, thank you!"

When he sat down, Wu Shixian expressed his gratitude to Li Tang with a grateful face.

You must know that when Li Tang and his party came, there were only single-digit audiences in the screening room. It was the arrival of Cheng Guo and Zhou Xun that attracted reporters, and the reporters' interviews attracted fans and film companies. This is very important for Wu Shixian as a new director, which means that his debut at the Venice Film Festival ushered in a very good start.

This is the same as uploading a new book, as a new author, it is difficult to make the first hit, but it is different to have a great author to help you drain the traffic, which can not only attract readers, but also attract the attention of website editors. As long as your writing doesn't pull your hips, you will definitely get a good score in general.

There was no premiere, no opening remarks, and after everyone was seated, it was screened directly.

"Che Forty-Four" is just a short film of only 11 minutes, and it is not even as long as a commercial film to put it mildly.

Eleven minutes is short, but the story is anything but simple.

It's about a long-distance bus with No. 44 Road, pulling a car of passengers. Gong Beimi played the role of a female driver, and a handsome guy chatted with her when he got in the car. But when you encounter bandits on the road, you will not only rob but also rob. But the passengers on the car were indifferent, and the guy failed to mobilize and rushed out of the car alone.

When he saw this, Li Tang couldn't help but smile, as a screenwriter and director, Wu Shixian must have watched "Very Summer", but the plot is reversed. Lei Haiyang, played by him, hid and didn't dare to save Ma Xiaoqin, who was by a strong woman, and the guy in the short film not only failed to save the female driver, but was also stabbed by the bandits.

originally thought that the next might be a love story, but here the plot has come to a 180-degree reversal.

The insulted female driver drove the injured guy out of the car, and the depressed guy finally got a car, but was overtaken by a police car during the process, and the guy was inevitably a little worried. The matter was soon answered, and the No. 44 long-distance bus was driven into the ravine by the female driver, and the female driver and the passengers in the car all died.

At the end of the story, the car that the guy was riding passed by the scene, and looking at the 44th long-distance bus that was flattened in the ravine, the guy suddenly smiled.

When the subtitles began to roll on the screen, the entire screening room was still silent, and Wu Shixian even turned his head to look uneasily. What he may not know is that the audience at this time is estimated to be the same as Li Tang, and they all have a creepy and shocked feeling at the same time. It can only be said that the ending is too unbelievable, and it is a result that no one can predict.

Until the lights came on, all the audience, including Li Tang, Cheng Guo and others, stood up and applauded warmly.

The second update!
