Chapter 442 Returning to China
[It is reported that "The Intouchables" voluntarily withdrew from the Venice Film Festival, suspected to be due to protests from correct people. Prior to this, the film was evaluated by Film Critics Weekly as the film most likely to win the Golden Lion...]
"Huh? Ha, hahaha, hahahaha, "The Intouchables" has been canceled?" Lu Ye couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the news.
He stood up suddenly, paced back and forth excitedly and continued: "I said, I said "The Intouchables" can't stay."
After saying that, he suddenly ran over and held the actress's face in his hands and said, "We are going to win an award!"
"Huh?" The actress was stunned by these words.
"Don't you understand? Let me tell you, our hope of winning an award was still slim before, but now we will definitely be given an award because the Venice Film Festival still needs the attention of the Chinese market.
Now that "The Intouchables" has been withdrawn, they have to make amends both emotionally and rationally to appease the Chinese audience, so we are going to win the award! "Lu Ye said excitedly.
As soon as these words came out, the actress's expression changed from surprise to weird. She hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Director Lu, the problem is that our current public opinion in the country is not good. < br>
If they award the award to us, domestic public opinion will probably get worse, which will have the opposite effect. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ye became even more excited: "That's right, that's even more right. The more the domestic audience disapproves of us, the more they will give us the award.
Because they want to tame... No, they want to improve and cultivate the aesthetics of the domestic audience, you know? Nowadays, domestic audiences have no aesthetic ability at all.
It's unreasonable that Hollywood movies can be ignored, they are a bunch of cunning people! Now, we need to use our awards to make these unscrupulous people reflect on themselves. ”
A famous director surnamed Jia on earth also said these words publicly, because they were so outrageous that many people didn't know what to say for a while.
The actress felt this way at this moment. She opened her mouth, and for a moment she really didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, at this time, Lu Ye's assistant suddenly said: "Director Lu, the official announcement just issued by the organizing committee removed Zhang Yujiao from the jury of the main competition unit!"
"Really?!" Lu Ye's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, it's all good news."
Immediately afterwards, he turned to the actress and said: "Tomorrow is the awards ceremony. Please find a way to deal with your face. Also, prepare your manuscript for the interview."
That's when Lu Ye was excited here.
On the other side, Xu Xiyu took the creators of "Untouchable" to visit Venice.
I have been here for so long and I have been busy and haven't taken a good stroll yet. Of course, out of the need for confidentiality, Xu Xiyu did not tell anyone else what he communicated with Sherlock yesterday.
Currently, only he and Lu Qinyao know about this matter.
Therefore, the atmosphere among the group was actually a bit dull. Everyone pretended to be happy, and even took the initiative to make Xu Xiyu happy.
And this atmosphere continued until the next day.
The main creators of "The Intouchables", including Cheng Yunqing, came together on Hu Ningtian's Bombardier Global 8000. When I go back, I will naturally take this business jet.
Originally, the creators of "The Intouchables" were excited about getting on a private jet.
But now, when they are in the business terminal of Venice Tesera Marco Polo Airport, looking at this one of the most luxurious business jets in the world, they feel an indescribable sense of loss in their hearts.
"Are you leaving now?" The director of "The Intouchables" was a little reluctant. He clearly had a chance to win the award, but was stabbed in the back by Lu Ye.
In 8 hours, the award ceremony will begin, but I can only watch others in the air and take away the award that originally belongs to me.
"Let's go, the days are long." Xu Xiyu didn't know what to say, so he kept it secret.
After hearing this, the director suddenly realized that Mr. Xu should be the saddest person.
So, he quickly put on a smile and said: "Yes, the days are long."
"Brother, in my heart you are the best!" Yu Yuyu added at the right time.
"Thank you, but I'm not as good as you. You are the daughter of luck!" Xu Xiyu said happily.
"Hehehehehehe..." As soon as these words came out, Yu Yuyu became silly and happy.
Seeing her silly joy, Xu Xiyu reached out and rubbed her head, signaling her to board the plane quickly.
As soon as she went up, Lu Qinyao who followed behind also climbed up the door ladder. The moment she walked up the door ladder, she and Xu Xiyu looked at each other, with a variety of emotions in their eyes.
"Xiyu, I won't accompany you anymore. I have to go to the United States to stay for a while." Cheng Yunqing followed up and pointed at the Gulfstream G800 not far away. She chartered this plane, not bought it. She didn't buy a private plane. airplane.
"Sorry to trouble you during this time." Xu Xiyu stretched out his hand.
However, Cheng Yunqing did not shake his hand, but patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, the future is long, we are indeed hindered abroad, but we must believe in the future."
"I'm not sad." Xu Xiyu smiled.
"Yes, you were planning to quit." Cheng Yunqing was happy when she heard this. It was she and Xu Xiyu who went to talk to Sherlock together last time.
However, what happened later exceeded everyone's expectations, so Cheng Yunqing also believed that Xu Xiyu did not need to quit and could keep it to win the prize.
After all, "The Intouchables" received high praise from audiences and critics during the Venice Film Festival.
Thinking of this, she patted Xu Xiyu's shoulder again and said: "If you run into Weiwei when you go back, help me take care of her."
"Yes, I will find her when I get back. I want to learn foreign languages from her." Xu Xiyu nodded.
"You have to learn foreign languages. It's good to learn one more. It's more convenient. You don't have to worry about having too many skills." Cheng Yunqing nodded in approval.
When Xu Xiyu heard this, his expression suddenly became weird, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "When will you get married?"
"I don't know, not sure yet. Some things are just like when you attend a film festival. You can't predict it and you can't help it. I'm leaving." Cheng Yunqing rolled his eyes.
After saying that, she put on her sunglasses, shook her hands to say goodbye, then turned around and was about to get on the special shuttle bus again.
But I heard Xu Xiyu say softly from behind: "Hey, this time, I will win at least two awards!"
"What?" Cheng Yunqing turned around in confusion, pulled down his sunglasses, exposed his eyes, and looked at Xu Xiyu doubtfully, but she didn't hear clearly.
"I said, I will win at least two awards this time!" This matter was kept secret from others, and it was not necessary for Cheng Yunqing. She was involved in the whole process.
"Huh?" Cheng Yunqing heard clearly now, and it was precisely because she heard clearly that she became even more confused.
"There are still 8 hours, the opening will be in 8 hours, and the red carpet will be in 1 hour. It is estimated that in 10 hours, you will be able to see me win the award. Sometimes, it can also be done by people!" Xu Xiyu raised his hand and looked at it. surface.
After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Yunqing's reply, he waved and took two steps back: "Bye, be careful on the road, and make sure you're safe when you get there!" After saying that, he turned around, stepped onto the door ladder and boarded the plane. .
Seeing his brisk figure disappearing from the cabin door, Cheng Yunqing suddenly smiled. She gathered her hair that was blown by the wind, and used her fingers to push her sunglasses back up to cover her eyes.
Then he turned around and walked quickly towards the shuttle bus.
The legs that have been exercised all year round are round and straight; the wheat-colored skin has a unique charm; the hair blown by the wind is flying and comfortable.
Equally comfortable was Lu Ye.
Eight hours later, when the creators of "The Intouchables" fell asleep on the business jet.
He was on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival.
The female lead next to her still had traces of Zhang Yujiao's beating on her face, but it was covered up by her longing expression and heavy makeup.
After entering the venue, she glanced at Zhang Yujiao sitting in the front row from a distance, and then whispered: "Director Lu, I swear, I will return a hundred times what Zhang Yujiao gave me."
"Repay it a thousand times. She just had good luck in the early years. Follow me and you will surpass her sooner or later. Today is your starting point."
Lu Ye said and patted her leg.
In the main competition unit of Venice, there are a total of six permanent awards and two non-permanent awards.
The standing awards are: Best Film (Golden Lion); Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor and Actor.
Extraordinary Award: Special Jury Award, Best New Actor;
Although these two are special awards, they are different from the temporary awards for sharing the cake. They can also be regarded as awards that everyone recognizes, because there are actually prescribed trigger conditions.
Regardless of where you are on the earth, here at Blue Star, those who have starred in two or less movies are considered newcomers. If the works starring newcomers enter the main competition unit, the selection of this award will be triggered.
If you perform well, you can get it.
From yesterday to today, Lu Ye thought about it and felt that the most likely option for him would be to win the Best New Actor.
After all, it would be unrealistic to give yourself other big prizes. This one is neither big nor small, so it’s just right.
And the actress has been talked about like this from yesterday to today, and she has been brainwashed into thinking that this is what she has in her pocket.
Ever since, after hearing Lu Ye say that this Venice Film Festival was his starting point, he nodded heavily and said "Yeah".
"Don't worry, your efforts will always pay off. One day I will take you to meet my foreign investors. If you have to endure what ordinary people cannot endure, you will definitely succeed." Lu Ye hinted again.
The actress understood and was afraid that the investor was a little perverted.
So, she nodded heavily again, perverts are perverts, and there are many perverts involved in internal entertainment.
Just when she was cheering herself up, she saw Zhang Yujiao in the front row turned to look at her, with a cold look and expression that was very scary.
Normally, the female lead would have shown a flattering smile.
But from yesterday to now, Lu Ye kept talking in her ears, which gave the female lead an inexplicable sense of confidence and illusion.
Therefore, facing Zhang Yujiao's coldness, she stared back with a sneer.
At this time, Zhang Yujiao in the front row almost went crazy. She turned her head and said to the people next to her: "Okay, okay, it's really a tiger being bullied by a dog. No one or a dog dares to shame me!"
< br>
The person sitting next to her was also a domestic actor. After hearing this, he comforted in a low voice: "Sister Jiao, don't be like them."
"Hmph! He thinks he can win the award if Xu Xiyu leaves? He really thinks too much." Zhang Yujiao continued.
"Sister Jiao, can Mr. Xu really win the award?"
"Originally, there was at least a special jury award, but now it's gone. It's all Lu Ye's fault. This person is really harmful." Zhang Yujiao seemed to be talking to Xu Xiyu, but in fact she was helping herself to relieve her anger.
Xu Xiyu's dismissal was one of the few good news for her these days. When she thought that Xu Xiyu's prizes were gone, she felt much better.
Of course, this feeling cannot be seen by others.
So, she continued to pretend to fight the injustice and said: "Some people really harm others without benefiting themselves. Is it easy for Mr. Xu to make a movie? And Qin Yao and the others, how good they are! They were all ruined by him!"
The actor next to him was completely confused about the situation, so when he heard this, he instinctively echoed: "Indeed, even that little fish is a surprise!"
"Yes, the first award later will be the Best New Actor. Xiaoyu might have been able to win it, but it's a pity." Zhang Yujiao said in a half-sour tone.
"Hey~~" Seeing Zhang Yujiao say this, the actor sighed in agreement.
Just chatting.
Time passed slowly, and after a period of interaction and opening process, the award-giving guest walked onto the stage.
"Next, we will present the Best New Actor Award in the main competition unit of this Venice Film Festival."
As soon as these words came out, the actress next to Lu Ye became nervous instantly.
Zhang Yujiao, on the other hand, could no longer restrain her relieved mood and showed a very cheerful smile.
Just when the two of them had different thoughts, the guest on the stage pointed to the screen and said: "This time, the nominees for the best new actor are..."
Following her introduction, scenes from different movies began to play on the big screen.
There are four finalists in total, the first two are foreign films.
By the third, "Night Without Dawn" appeared on the screen.
As soon as she saw this scene, the female lead became even more nervous. Seeing this, Lu Ye touched her leg again and comforted her: "Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous when you receive the award later."
"Hahaha." The actress forced a laugh.
But the next second, her laughter stopped abruptly.
Because, the fourth shortlisted movie, "The Intouchables" was played.
"Hasn't this movie been withdrawn? Why is it still on the shortlist?" At this moment, Zhang Yujiao covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice!
