Chapter 428 My evaluation is average
inside the room.
The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.
Looking at Xu Xiyu who was deep in thought, Walter Lanz glanced at his watch with some boredom, and then whispered to Cheng Yunqing: "Sophia, I don't think I'm needed here for the time being.
You know, this film festival has many beautiful dream-seeking girls from all over the world. Some of them may want to participate in some red carpet shows, and I am going to help them realize their dreams.
Oh, damn, speaking of this, I have to make a request to you. Can you give me some red carpet invitations when "The Intouchables" premieres? I think some girls will be interested in your red carpet premiere. Very interested. ”
The premiere in his mouth refers to the first public screening of "The Intouchables" at a venue at the Venice Film Festival.
Normally, at the premiere of a film participating in the exhibition, celebrities will come to the red carpet to support them. As for how many celebrities come, it depends on the connections of the film's creators.
There are many domestic and foreign artists coming to the Venice Film Festival this time, and there are also many Internet celebrities.
Most of these people have no works shortlisted for any section of the film festival. The purpose of coming here is to go to the red carpets of the premieres of the shortlisted films and the red carpets of the award ceremonies.
This is the origin of "red carpet".
Therefore, even if Xu Xiyu has no interactions with foreign artists, there is no need to worry that there will only be Chinese faces on the red carpet of "The Intouchables".
Because, there will definitely be some foreign artists and Internet celebrities who "take advantage of the red carpet".
What is the "Great Harmony" of the world?
This is called Datong. Artists and Internet celebrities around the world are all the same, but Chinese artists are not the only ones who like to use the red carpet to increase their status.
Therefore, when he heard that Walter Lanz asked for an invitation letter from him and helped the girl who was pursuing her dream to realize her dream, Cheng Yunqing couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said: "You guys really like to make your actions justice."
"No, no, no, I am indeed helping them. I help them get what they want, and they help me spend boring nights." Walter Lantz stood up with a smile.
Then he buttoned up his suit jacket and said to Xu Xiyu and Cheng Yunqing: "I wish you a happy time, bye!"
This farewell brought Xu Xiyu back to his senses. Looking at the door that was closed by Walter Lanz, he turned to Cheng Yunqing and said, "Do you want to go shopping?"
"I won't go shopping. You can go for a walk. For example, take Lu Qinyao and Xiaoyu to see the flying lion of San Marco. The biggest award at the Venice Film Festival is the Golden Lion Award.
Maybe you will get lucky after watching the lion. As for me, I will help you find some people to support the show. Don’t forget that during the premiere, there are not even a single famous foreign artist, which is not good-looking. "Cheng Yunqing laughed.
She came here this time because she was entrusted by Hu Ningtian to help Xu Xiyu.
Now that I have accepted this task, I naturally have to put some thought into it.
As for how to find people to support the scene, it is actually very simple.
There are many luxury brands in Italy, such as Prada, Versace, Gucci and so on.
Cheng Yunqing and Hu Ningwei are all top luxury customers. And these top luxury brands have collaborated with many foreign stars, so it's not difficult to find them to come forward and bring in some artists to support them.
Of course, that's the limit. Supporting and winning awards are two different things. Cheng Yunqing can't decide whether "The Intouchables" can win the award.
Thinking of this, she clapped her hands, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to work. See you later."
"Trouble, sister-in-law." Xu Xiyu laughed.
As soon as he said this, Cheng Yunqing glanced at him and said with a curl of his lips: "I still want to ask, in what capacity do you call me sister-in-law? Are you Ning Tian's friend, or... hmm?"
"Hahaha, let's go. I'm going to see the bronze lion. I don't know why, but I always feel that the lion looks a bit like it was made in China." Xu Xiyu interrupted and did not answer.
"Nervous, everything is made in China, why don't you say that the lion is a tomb beast?" Cheng Yunqing joked.
After saying that, she opened the door and left directly.
Xu Xiyu stood there and stretched.
Half an hour later, Xu Xiyu, Yu Yuyu, and Lu Qanyao got into a car.
As soon as he got in the car, Yu Yuyu chirped: "Brother, do you know who is on the jury for the main competition unit this time?"
"Who is it?"
"Zhang Yujiao, the news was released an hour ago." Yu Yuyu said.
"Zhang Yujiao?" Hearing the name, Xu Xiyu blinked a few times, and the image of Yujiao Dragon from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on Earth could not help but appear in his mind.
If anyone in Blue Star has caught up with the last train for Chinese actresses to develop in Hollywood, it can only be Zhang Yujiao.
After her, Chinese actresses failed to make a name for themselves even if they went to Hollywood.
This is not to say that Zhang Yujiao is really better than other actresses.
But she did meet the noble gang at the right time, and not just one noble person, but a bunch of noble people. Just like Zhang Ziyi met Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Jackie Chan and many other people who praised her, the same is true for Zhang Yujiao.
However, no matter what the reason is that brought her to her current status.
Anyway, the objective reality is that her influence in the international film industry is indeed much higher than that of other Chinese actresses of the same age.
Xu Xiyu has never dealt with Zhang Yujiao, so he doesn't know what her character is.
I heard that he is a bit arrogant and does not look at others with a straight face.
This is normal. In the entertainment industry, climbing high and pushing low is the norm. People are international, so how can they look down on domestic people.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said: "Whether it is Zhang Yujiao or Liu Yujiao, it has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to be so excited."
"Why doesn't it matter? We are all Chinese, so we are our own people. Maybe we will vote for us when the film is reviewed for awards?" Yu Yuyu said immediately.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu and Lu Qinyao both looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing how to answer.
One of our own?
Who is your own person?
Not to mention overseas, even in other places, the first thing to guard against is someone who is one of your own.
They say fish nourish the brain, so why are three fish not enough to nourish your simple brain?
One day passed like this.
The next day, in the afternoon, Zhang Yujiao, who was recognized by Yu Yuyu as one of her own, was in a small movie theater. With her, there were other judges from the Venice main competition unit.
Their topic happened to be related to Xu Xiyu.
Because, they plan to watch "The Untouchables" so they can rate it.
Speaking of which, there are two Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition section of this Venice Film Festival, except "The Intouchables".
There is also a film called "Night without Dawn", shot by the well-known artistic film director Lu Ye.
Therefore, as the only Chinese judge on the jury, Zhang Yujiao, now wants to watch "The Intouchables", so naturally she will be teased by others.
"Zhang, you must not give a high score on purpose just because "The Intouchables" is a Chinese film."
"Hahaha, as far as I know, the screenwriter of this movie is the hottest new entertainment star in your country, and he is also an entertainment tycoon.
You are the best actress in your country. Didn't he seek cooperation with you? "The first person finished speaking, and another person immediately answered.
Seeing them making fun of her, Zhang Yujiao said seriously: "In fact, he and I don't know each other, and even if we did, I wouldn't have any bias."
After saying that, she deliberately exaggerated: "Please, the Venice Film Festival is international. As you know, I am a person with an extremely international perspective.
I am very sad that you doubt me so much. Moreover, will you give extra preferential treatment because the movie comes from your country? ”
As soon as this question came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.
It can be seen from their smiles that they give extra preferential treatment to movies from their own country.
If the quality of the movies is similar, choosing movies from your own country is equivalent to contributing to the development of your country's movies.
Stop making trouble about this bullshit international perspective.
I have already become a judge. If I don’t have this right, then I might as well not do it properly.
But Zhang Yujiao doesn't think so. Even when the quality of the movies is about the same, and even when Chinese movies are better than foreign ones, she will still choose foreign movies.
She feels that only in this way can she reflect her fairness and impartiality and let foreigners feel her professionalism.
To be honest, this mentality is not only shared by Zhang Yujiao, but also by many people.
Moreover, they don't think there is anything wrong with doing so.
Therefore, seeing the other judges laughing, Zhang Yujiao also laughed: "Time is running out, I think we'd better watch the film quickly."
A few minutes later, the main film of "The Intouchables" was put on the screen. The version was in the original Chinese version with Chinese and English subtitles.
This may be a bit of a threshold for ordinary foreign audiences to watch movies.
But for the professional filmmakers inside, there aren't many problems. Especially Zhang Yujiao, she can completely understand the content of "The Intouchable" without any obstacles.
Because of this, Zhang Yujiao became more and more frightened and her expression became uglier.
In sharp contrast to her, the judges around her went from being casual at first to becoming serious, and finally, their emotions were completely affected by the movie.
Thanks to Apostle Yaobai for the reward
