Chapter 357: Don't Spread Falsehood
"Teacher Li, let's go smoke a cigarette together!" Xu Jinglei walked over, pouted in the direction of the smoking area, and invited.
The return trip needed to transfer at Frankfurt Airport, and the whole process took four hours, and Li Tang was bored waiting, so he readily agreed: "Okay!" ”
Unlike many airports that prohibit smoking, Frankfurt Airport is more user-friendly, with a designated place in the departure hall where you can smoke, and there is no closed and cramped space as a smoking area as in some places. It's a bar-like place, with a ring of seats on the periphery, not even separated from the outside space, but with a smoke exhaust device in the middle, everyone sits around and snorts the fog.
When Li Tang came to the place, he was about to take out a cigarette, but Xu Jinglei had already handed it over: "Smoke mine." ”
She took out a pack of Bai Wan and handed it to Li Tang, and also took a lighter to help him light it.
Compared with the strong red Wan, the Marlboro packaged in white shell is softer.
In addition, compared with China, many foreign airports allow passengers to carry a simple lighter, which is commonly referred to as a disposable lighter. In fact, it didn't matter before, but since 911 last year, Europe has tightened control, such as the Zip lighter of kerosene is now not allowed to be carried.
Xu Jinglei's smoking posture is very sophisticated, and she looks like an old smoking gun. When I was filming before, I saw that she didn't leave her cigarettes, and she was very addicted to smoking.
The two chatted casually for a while, probably thinking that the foreshadowing was almost over, Xu Jinglei said solemnly and a little embarrassed: "Teacher Li, what happened last time made you laugh......
Of course, Li Tang knew what was going on, but he pretended to be confused at this time, and preemptively said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Uh......"
Xu Jinglei was stunned for a moment, then her expression was complicated, and finally she said with gratitude: "Thank you!" ”
Li Tang just smiled, and seeing that Bai Wan in his hand was almost pumped, he took out his three or five words: "Another one?" ”
Xu Jinglei, who was relaxed, smiled and said, "Okay! ”
In fact, many people saw the scene at the premiere of "Spring in a Small Town", they just saw Gong Li's indifference to Xu Jinglei, as for what happened at that time, only the parties and Li Tang, who was with the two at the time, knew.
Later, there were indeed people who wanted to find out from him why the two had an unpleasant relationship, including some well-informed reporters.
Li Tang's answer was naturally "I don't know." ”
"That's good!"
"No unpleasantness happened."
Something like this kind of diplomatic rhetoric.
So there may be some rumors, but no one knows exactly what happened. It is precisely because of this that there is this scene just now.
Li Tang's pretending to be stupid was nothing more than wanting to tell Xu Jinglei that she had forgotten about it a long time ago, so she would be completely relieved if this thing didn't exist.
Now that she has spoken, Xu Jinglei has completely relieved her thoughts, and after ordering a three-five again, the chat between the two is much easier.
Xu Jinglei participated in many red carpet events in Venice and talked about a lot of new things. For example, Hollywood actress Julianne. Moore, who looks very beautiful on the screen, but when I look at it in private, this face, especially the open chest, is densely covered with freckles, and if there is a dense phobia, I will definitely get goosebumps all over my body.
In fact, in the aesthetics of foreigners, freckles sometimes represent sexiness, and the most obvious example is the female number one Beth in the American drama "Yellowstone". Dutton's actor Kelly. Reilly is also freckled, but in the eyes of Americans, she is definitely a sexy goddess.
It seems that in the aesthetics of Chinese, white has always been beautiful, and there is a saying that "one white covers a hundred ugliness", and people like Xu Jinglei, who are born with a darker complexion, lose a lot of points in terms of appearance. But on this trip to Venice, her wheat complexion was very popular in the eyes of Europeans.
In fact, there have always been rumors in the outside world that Xu Jinglei used to be Wang Shuo's junior, and she did not deny it. In this regard, Li Tang still appreciates it, at least it is much stronger than those who are both righteous and standing, dare to be bold!
And in the process of filming "Subway to Spring", Li Tang found that this girl has a hearty personality, is not pretentious, and her key acting skills are not bad, which has surpassed most of the female stars in the circle.
So he trusts his eyes more than the rumors. Besides, the two are not friends at present, as for how others behave, it is their business, as long as it does not hinder themselves, what does it have to do with themselves?
Again, it's convenient for you to be with others. Mix the friends and connections you need in the circle, instead of making enemies everywhere.
When it was over, Li Tang smiled again: "At the end of the month, our movie will be released, and when the time comes, you will have to work hard to run around." ”
Xu Jinglei smiled and said, "Teacher Li, look at what you said, isn't this how it should be!" ”
See, this is the best way to open up human contact.
Not to mention, Xu Jinglei still has a lot of flavor when she laughs, revealing a little sexy, no wonder Wang Shuo, the big man in the Beijing circle back then, fell in and couldn't pull it out.
The schedule of "Subway to Spring" has been determined, which is aimed at this year's National Day file. To be honest, the domestic box office market has been very empty in recent years, and I am not afraid of being embarrassed when I say it, and the cumulative total box office of a country with more than one billion people is not even comparable to the box office of a Hollywood blockbuster in North America. So at present, except for the Chinese New Year movies created by Huayi Brothers and Feng Xiaogang, there is no so-called concept of National Day files.
And compared with the movies released during the National Day last year, this year it seems to be a lot more deserted, and the only thing that can be played may be the "With You" by Director Chen Dadao released on September 20, this film brings together Wang Zhiwen, Liu Peiqi, and the amorous director's wife Chen Hong and other big names, which is really exciting.
Originally, it was rumored that the film would also participate in the Venice Film Festival, but it didn't come, but went to the Toronto Film Festival in Canada.
Li Tang read the relevant reports, according to the producer Chen Hong's explanation, because the Toronto Film Festival has a large North American market, which is a very important film market, which is much larger than the film market of the Venice Film Festival, which is full of art films.
But he thinks that the biggest reason for this may be that the film was only symbolically shortlisted for the screening unit in Venice, which made the former Palme d'Or winner Chen Dadao unable to hang his face. In contrast, the Toronto Film Festival, which just opened a few days ago, listed Chen Dadao's work as the opening film, giving Chen Dadao enough courtesy.
After nearly twenty hours of travel, it was almost noon the next day when they arrived at the capital airport in Beijing, and everyone with a tired face felt a sense of relief.
Before getting off the plane, Zeng Jia, who was busy with business, turned on his mobile phone, and when he read a message, he was immediately surprised: "There are fans and reporters at the airport to pick up the plane!" ”
It is not new for fans to pick up the plane, and generally to participate in large-scale events, fans will welcome them at the airport, especially for group photos or autographs. But this situation is rarely encountered in normal times, after all, fans will not be full, have nothing to do, and wait at the airport all day long. What's more, there are also reporters, someone must have leaked the flight number in advance, and at the same time, it was deliberately organized.
Just as everyone looked at Zeng Jia with surprised eyes, in order not to affect the other passengers on the plane, Zeng Jia lowered his voice and said, "It was arranged by Bona." ”
It is clear that Bona as the distributor has begun to build momentum for the release of the film, and the film's participation in the Venice Film Festival itself is a good promotional point.
After getting off the plane, Li Tang hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash his face at the urging of Zeng Jia, cheered up his spirits and touched up a little at the same time, showing a good image to the fans and reporters who picked up the plane outside.
Xu Jinglei, including Wang Li, also seized the time to put on light makeup to cover up her tired expression.
Sure enough, when everyone took their luggage and walked out of the gate along the passage, they saw a flash in front of them, accompanied by the enthusiastic shouts of fans: "Teacher Li, hello!" ”
"Xu Jinglei, I love you!"
The title of Mr. Li originated from Xiaopang at the beginning, including until now, the scandals between the two have already been flying all over the sky, although the two have never publicly admitted it, but the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, especially Li Tang has won the Huabiao Award for Film Newcomer Award over the years, the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, the Venice Little Actor, and has also been shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor many times.
But every time Xiaopang is interviewed, as long as Li Tang is mentioned, he always has a mouthful of Mr. Li, which is a bit of a desire to cover up, but it is also easy for people to think about it, so in the mouth of fans, this title of Mr. Li is more ridiculous.
Not only the enthusiasm of the fans, but also the reporters who had been waiting for a long time surrounded them with long guns and short cannons, and the microphones and voice recorders were handed to Li Tang and Xu Jinglei's mouths one by one, and they were still asking all kinds of questions.
"How did you feel about your trip to Venice?"
"Of course, the feeling is very good, this year's Venice Film Festival is as lively as last year, and I have watched a lot of excellent films, which is very ...... feeling."
"May I ask if there will be any regrets that "Subway to Spring" is not shortlisted for the competition unit but is not a competition unit?"
"How can there be regrets? You don't know how many films from all over the world want to be submitted to the Venice Film Festival every year, right? For us, whether it is a competition or a non-competition screening, it is a victory to be able to go to Venice! ”
Li Tang smiled as he walked out to answer reporters' questions.
Of course, there are also uninteresting ones, such as a buddy with glasses, who handed the microphone to Xu Jinglei's mouth, and opened his mouth to ask: "May I ask Xu Jinglei, according to reliable sources, you and Gong Li had an unpleasant experience at the premiere of "Spring in a Small Town", can you talk about the specific situation?" ”
This question almost made Xu Jinglei blackface on the spot, but fortunately, in order to take care of her own image, she could only say expressionlessly: "There is no such thing at all, I hope you don't spread false rumors." ”
The first more, there is
