Chapter 432 A strange scene, all women (Update 14)
Xu Xiyu is rarely speechless because of a movie.
Mainly, he won't go to a movie that might leave him speechless.
But sometimes, you really can’t help yourself. Just like the last time I watched "The Arrival of the Light", I was still exhausted after watching it.
But this time, "Dawn Without Night" really made him vomit.
Almost vomiting in a physical sense.
Because the screen of this movie was shaking around the whole time, it made Xu Xiyu feel motion sick. In this case, Xu Xiyu didn't understand anything about the second half of the movie.
Fortunately, Lu Ye seemed to feel that Xu Xiyu couldn't appreciate his masterpiece. Therefore, he was not invited to make any comments during the communication session after the movie.
Lu Ye is more inviting foreign film critics and peers to make evaluations.
For a director like him, he has received foreign investment all year round and participated in various foreign film festivals.
Therefore, he doesn't care about the distance between him and Xu Xiyu.
As long as it's not bad on the surface, it's not necessary to be too good.
In fact, it is not only him, but also many people in the country. These people are either seniors or have their own special ways, so they actually don't care much about Xu Xiyu.
This includes Zhang Yujiao, who also has her own way, otherwise she would not be able to be a jury judge at the Venice Film Festival.
But, there are exceptions to everything. Zhang Yujiao, who originally didn't care about Xu Xiyu, is now completely focused on him.
Because, not only did Xu Xiyu ignore her on the red carpet, but also after entering the venue, including now after watching the movie, Xu Xiyu still ignored her.
As the saying goes, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll go with it; if I go, I'll go with the mountain.
Finally, after the interactive session, everyone gathered together in twos and threes to communicate.
Zhang Yujiao stopped in front of Xu Xiyu, stretched out her hand and said: "Mr. Xu, I have long admired you."
"Teacher Zhang is joking, I have admired you for a long time." Xu Xiyu is a social person. People are blocking his way, so it would be inappropriate to pretend not to see him.
However, after saying hello, he said to Lu Qinyao and the others: "You go and prepare first. It's almost time."
"Hey." Lu Qinyao nodded and walked away without even looking at Zhang Yujiao.
This made Zhang Yujiao a little confused. She forced a smile and said: "The people under Mr. Xu are quite assertive."
"They are all relatively shy. It's normal for them to be nervous and speechless when meeting an international superstar like you. I'm sorry." Xu Xiyu smiled happily.
"Mr. Xu, your movie will be released later. If this is the case, I have to consider avoiding suspicion. After all, I am the judge this time."
"Then you should avoid suspicion." Xu Xiyu nodded slightly as he said this, then stepped over her and walked outside.
This can be regarded as completely defeating Zhang Yujiao.
She even began to wonder if someone had revealed to Xu Xiyu what she said when reading the film.
But then I thought about it, it was impossible, those judges had no connection with Xu Xiyu.
Moreover, the people who can serve as judges of the film festival are all veterans. We still have some tacit understanding and it is impossible to reveal it.
Thinking of this, she quickly followed, stopped Xu Xiyu again and said: "Mr. Xu, where did I offend you to make you disrespect me so much?"
This sentence is already openly angry.
Zhang Yujiao feels that she has this qualification. This is not because she is arrogant, nor does it mean that she cannot recognize the big and small kings. According to the current situation in the entertainment industry, she does have this qualification.
It's like, although Gong Li is just an actress, the management still has to be polite when they see her. Although Zhang Yujiao is not as good as Gong Li, her nature is the same.
This is Xu Xiyu. If it were anyone else, her words would be even more unpleasant, because in the entertainment industry, most people don't care about the thoughts of people with lower status than themselves. This has nothing to do with intelligence, but a matter of customs and habits.
Of course, it was precisely because she met Xu Xiyu that this method did not work. Xu Xiyu asked the same sentence: "Teacher Zhang, where did I offend you to make you disrespect me so much?"
But, he didn't know what Zhang Yujiao said when reading the film.
But there are some things that you don’t need to know so clearly.
As an artist who has been around for many years, Zhang Yujiao should be quite clear about what to say and what not to say when being interviewed by reporters.
But it happened that when she was being interviewed by domestic reporters that day, she deliberately praised "Dawn Without Darkness" alone first. In this way, reporters would definitely ask about "The Intouchables".
When the reporter asked, she deliberately said in an embarrassing tone, "I personally like "The Intouchables"."
This seems to be a compliment, but in fact it is a deliberate disparagement.
Because any public figure would never answer in this way if he didn't want to deliberately step on someone.
But Zhang Yujiao took others for fools and thought Xu Xiyu couldn't detect her little tricks.
Xu Xiyu has always been too lazy to deal with such people.
After all, this is the Venice Film Festival, not a domestic film festival.
If it were a domestic film festival, Xu Xiyu wouldn't care if she belittled her as much as she liked. After all, they were competing among peers.
But you still do this when you are abroad? ?
It can only be said that it is no wonder that Chinese films cannot go abroad. If you expect this kind of stuff to drive Chinese films overseas, it is better not to count on them. They are not even as good as Indians.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't disrespect you, but you disrespected me over and over again." Zhang Yujiao's face had turned gloomy.
Without waiting for Xu Xiyu's reply, she continued: "Originally, I was thinking of bringing a few good friends from Hollywood to show my appreciation. Now it seems that Mr. Xu has his own connections and may not need me very much."
"That's true." Xu Xiyu nodded sincerely. This sincere look made Zhang Yujiao laugh angrily. She had seen arrogant people, but never such arrogant people.
So, she smiled and said: "It's really a new generation replacing the old. I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so domineering."
"There is a saying that goes well, this industry is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it is ours, because I am only 24, just like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, you must obey the old age." Xu Xiyu said lightly Smiled.
After saying that, he passed Zhang Yujiao directly and left the cinema, this time without even a nod.
As for Zhang Yujiao, she was stunned on the spot, and her jaw began to tremble with anger.
What a shame, really a shame!
Lu Ye noticed something strange about her, took her aside and said, "What's wrong? Are you so angry?"
"Have you ever dealt with Xu Xiyu?"
"No, I don't deal with people who like to sing praises." Lu Ye said with some contempt in his words.
"Haha, it's a good thing you haven't dealt with him. This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant person. He made a few bad movies and became the chairman of the board. He really thinks of himself as a person!"
As Zhang Yujiao spoke, her teeth almost chattered.
When Lu Ye saw this, he rolled his eyes a few times and said: "As a young man, it's normal for him to be a little angry. He has such a smooth path to his career, so how can he take us seriously? You, it's better to forgive us. We have offended him." Sorry.”
"Hehe, hehe! OK, OK, I want to see how long he can be so angry. Director Lu, I won't go to his premiere tonight. Please tell your friends abroad not to go either.
I want to see if an international film festival can't even invite a famous foreign figure to see if he can show off his face. "Zhang Yujiao said with her arms crossed, her chest rising and falling.
This state naturally attracted more people's attention.
A group of people gathered around to ask for help.
"Teacher Zhang, what's wrong? Who is this, making you so angry?"
"Oh, zhang, look at you, you don't need to be angry for an arrogant person, God will punish him."
"Yes, I will definitely let everyone know his arrogant nature. I don't think any Western practitioner will support him. We prefer gentlemen."
"Hey, some people are like this. They judge others with their noses after getting some grades. Teacher Zhang, don't worry, we are all on your side."
Listening to everyone's words, Zhang Yujiao felt much better.
It was at this time that there was another movement outside.
After a while, the assistant ran in and whispered in her ear: "The red carpet ceremony for the premiere of "The Intouchables" has begun."
"Has it started?" Zhang Yujiao was stunned when she heard this, then looked at her watch, "Isn't it 6 o'clock yet? More than an hour earlier?"
After all, the red carpet at a premiere cannot compare with the red carpet at an awards show.
Usually half an hour's walk is enough. When the movie starts, there are people walking on the red carpet, but they are just there to hang out. They can't even enter the theater.
Hearing this question, the assistant looked a little uncomfortable and gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know how to explain it to you. You will know when you go out and take a look. There are a lot of people coming."
As soon as these words came out, the people who were chatting here, including Lu Ye, all pricked up their ears.
As for Zhang Yujiao, she first looked at the people around her, then scolded her assistant for being ignorant, and gritted her teeth and said, "What do you mean?"
"I feel like all the European and American celebrities from the Venice Film Festival are here. There is a long row of cars parked, seventy or eighty cars, and it is so blocked." The assistant naturally knew that it was not good to mention this.
But I have to mention that the battle is so big that none of the red carpet shows at the awards ceremony are as distinctive as they are all female artists!
Good guy, this is where the woman was stabbed.
"What???" Zhang Yujiao's eyes widened, and she didn't care much and ran out quickly.
As soon as she ran, everyone else followed her.
Outside, Xu Xiyu also widened his eyes.
In his expectation, there might be thirty or forty female artists coming. After all, he didn't take Cheng Yunqing's words seriously.
But standing on the steps of the Cinema Palace and looking over from a distance, I could really see the endless motorcade.
"What's going on? Why are there so many?" He asked Cheng Yunqing in a low voice.
"Didn't you ask me to release the news? I asked people to emphasize it again, saying that there is a great red carpet show. Only the best women from the Venice Film Festival are invited. Let them guess who didn't receive it. Invitation.
If someone doesn't receive an invitation, it only proves that she hasn't reached this circle yet. You may not know how interested these people are in integrating into a certain circle. "Cheng Yunqing shrugged.
"Good guy, this word sounds familiar."
"Actually, I didn't expect it, but there are some things you can't reason with. Maybe they are following the trend, maybe they have wanted to do it for a long time, but they just didn't have the right opportunity.
All in all, once an activity is attended by the majority, no one wants to become a minority. You, prepare more invitations now and send them to the right people, so as not to offend others. ”
Hearing this, Xu Xiyu was about to speak, but saw another person running out of the door of the Film Palace.
This person is Zhang Yujiao.
She first looked at the long queue of vehicles, and then suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Xiyu.
The look in his eyes could no longer be described as surprise and disbelief.
How is it possible?
How is this possible?
How can Xu Xiyu have such a great reputation?
Another internationally famous director might not be able to pull off such a one-woman show!
What the hell is going on?
"Holy shit, how the hell did you do this?" Lu Ye also came out. Seeing this strange scene, he felt that his three views were about to be shattered.
