Chapter 152 Happy Birthday
This year’s Venice Film Festival can be said to be a Chinese film festival.
Chairman Marco not only invited Cheng Long's "Baby Project" and Li Chen's "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2", but also Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet" to participate in the screening.
In particular, Li Chen's "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" will serve as the closing film to bring an end to this Venice Film Festival.
In addition, "The Genius" and "Ip Man" will also hold promotion conferences in Venice.
Non-competition categories also include "Court on Horseback" directed by Mainland director Liu Jie
"East" directed by Mainland director Jia Zhangke
and "One Day" directed by Baodao director Zheng Youjie The beginning of the year》
As for the main competition unit, a hundred flowers are blooming.
"The Good Man of Three Gorges" by Jia Zhangke
"Exile" by Du Qifeng
"Dark Circles" by Taiwanese Tsai Ming-liang was shortlisted for the main competition on behalf of the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
Even the media is ridiculing that Macor has a Chinese heart.
In late August, the filming progress of "Thieves" was already halfway through due to the co-direction of Wen Tsai-ren.
At the same time, domestically.
Fan Zhengtong and Chen Shu arrived at Jinxiu Bright Diamond one after another.
Before Chen Shu arrived, Fan Zhitong went to Yang Siwei's office first.
The red carpet dresses of the two were released today, and Yang Siwei notified them to try them on.
Fan Congcheng is also looking forward to what her red carpet dress will look like.
After all, Liu Yifei’s several red carpet shows have been brilliant.
Lawrence Xu of Rongchen Pictures has long been famous at home and abroad.
After passing the audition for "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2", she and Chen Shu immediately stayed at Rongchen Pictures.
Since "Shoplifters", everyone in the industry knows it.
For the film directed by Director Li, the red carpet looks and jewelry of the leading actors were all provided by Rongchen Pictures.
Especially for jewelry, sponsors are competing hard.
It's not like filming Wang Xiaosu's movie. On the red carpet, you have to piece together jewelry and dresses.
After entering Yang Siwei's office, Fan Zhitong did not regard himself as an outsider.
Zi Guzi sat down and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, what are you going to do to me? Let's agree first, I won't wear it if it's ugly."
Yang Siwei poured a glass of water for Fan Chong and sat down. He sneered across from her.
“You take it to heart, you are embarrassing me, my boss still has face.”
"I'm afraid you won't dare to wear it for a while!"
Fan Zhengtong stroked his temples and raised his eyebrows: "Don't dare to wear it? Is it very revealing?"
Yang Sisi suppressed laughter and laughed. A riddle: "Not exposed, but very royal!"
"Yellow?" Fan Zhitong was confused.
While the two were talking, the assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Xu is ready. You can go over."
Yang Si Siwei stood up and pulled Fan Zhi Cong: "Let's go, we'll find out when we get there."
Fan Zhi Siwei followed Yang Si Siwei to the decoration room with anxiety.
The dressing room is very spacious, with not only three fitting rooms, but also three dressing rooms.
As soon as Fan Zhengcheng came in, his attention was attracted by the four dresses.
Two of them in particular.
One piece is indeed very yellow! Very dazzling!
"This, this, this? Dragon robe?" Fan Zhengtong murmured to himself.
Yang Siwei was very satisfied with Fan Zhitong's expression.
She was also amazed when she saw this dress for the first time.
Lawrence Xu has already stepped forward: "Miss Fan, how are you? Do you dare to wear it?"
"This series is the first Chinese-style series I designed, and I strive to cause a sensation in Venice."
Fan Congcheng's heartbeat was a little fast, and her fair and delicate face was slightly red: "Mr. Xu, this Isn’t it too bold?”
Lawrence Xu laughed: “Director Li asked me to bring you some clothes that you, Fan Chong, don’t dare to wear.”
Yang Siwei couldn't help but laugh out loud, not shying away from Lawrence Xu being next to him.
“The backless dress you wore last time in Jinji almost exposed your butt. This dragon robe is completely naked, so you don’t dare to wear it anymore?”
Fan Zhengtong was so embarrassed that he gave Yang Siwei a hard blow.
In fact, she was moved by this dragon robe when she first saw it.
She knew that as long as she wore this dragon robe and appeared in Venice, she would definitely become the focus of media from various countries.
When the time comes, I’m afraid there will be both abuse and praise.
But so what, since she debuted, she has always become more popular with more criticism.
Nowadays, there is really nothing she dares not wear.
She even painted nude charity oil paintings, and there was nothing else she didn’t dare to do.
Yang Siwei continued to laugh at her: "If you look like you, you will have to be disfigured!"
"Otherwise, even if you help an old lady cross the road, you will be slandered by people who are pretending to be pretentious."
“My boss is not afraid of choosing you as the protagonist, but you actually pretended to be one!”
Fan Chongqing quickly begged for mercy: "I'm wearing it, I'm wearing it, it's not enough, I just said one thing, you can't wait to say ten!"
"That's enough, you guys, dress up Xiao Fan." Yang Siwei Pointing at several shapes.
Several stylists came up and pulled Fan Congcheng to change her clothes.
One of them is Zhang Jiao (Zhang Tianai), looking at Fan Zhiyi's bright eyes, straight nose, delicate chin and makeup.
Zhang Jiao was extremely envious. Compared with the two, she looked more like an ugly duckling.
Fan Zhengtong went in to put on his clothes, and the time had come.
Chen Shu’s dress is a black dress with an emerald necklace, which is noble, dignified and grand.
It suits her temperament very well, and Chen Shu is very satisfied.
After nearly half an hour, Fan Congcheng walked out with a golden look.
Several staff in the fitting room couldn't help but exclaimed.
Lawrence Xu held his chin and nodded, with a smile on his face.
I secretly said in my heart: "This Fan Clan is indeed a good clothes rack, and this Chinese style series has been owned."
Fan Congchen's state at this time seemed to be a little tipsy after drinking some wine. meaning.
The fair skin was faintly flushed.
In the past ten years, she has tried hard to get rid of the first impression of the golden lock maid.
It can be said that she has been very successful in these ten years.
First, I deliberately took on a lot of princess and princess roles.
Then he won the heroine Baihua through the role of Wu Yue.
It is already worthy of the name of the Three Beauties of the Pearl, and is no longer the companion of the crape myrtle maid and the swallow.
But if you put on this dragon robe today, as long as you walk on the red carpet in Venice, you might become the queen instantly.
Yang Siwei looked on and nodded frequently, then walked to Fan Zhitong and whispered.
"Your contract expires next year, so don't be a wolf! Your dress and jewelry are enough to buy an apartment in Beijing!"
Fan Congcheng's mouth opened slightly in disbelief.
Is this considered the money Li Chen spent on himself? Fan Zhitong couldn't help but guess.
Coming out of Jinxiu Bright Diamond, Fan Zhitong sent a text message to Li Chen: "Brother Chen, after Venice, I will be scolded to death, you have to catch me!"
"However, I like the dragon robe very much. I understand what you mean!"
This dragon robe gave Fan Zhiyi the courage and no worries.
Good things must be fought for, and good men must be snatched away!
Li Chen woke up the next day and saw Fan Zhitong’s text message.
After thinking about it, I finally replied: "I'm not sure about your aesthetics. It's the same as my Yifei's, it's eye-catching!" Unexpectedly, Fan Zhitong seemed to be holding a mobile phone in his hand.
I immediately replied: "Then you like me as much as you like Yifei!"
Li Chen couldn't laugh or cry. Fortunately, Miss Liu was still dreaming, otherwise she would have seen this This message, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash it away.
Li Chen didn't want to be ambiguous with her, so he quickly replied: "She is the only person I like from the beginning to the end."
This time, Fan Chongqing did not reply immediately, but after several days After an hour, I replied: "I was joking with you last night, Brother Chen, but please don't take it seriously."
From the crew of "The Thieves", today's scene is Charlize Theron's highlight moment.
The diamond fell into Theron's hands by accident.
But the whole building has been surrounded by police.
Theron has to pretend to be a woman taking a shower at home and not hearing the sirens.
Theron nodded to Li Chen, indicating that she was ready.
"Action!"
Theron, who was wearing a one-piece overalls, took off his overalls while going up the stairs.
The tight black camisole on the upper body reveals Theron's slim and graceful figure.
The bursting water pipes on the side and the approaching voices of the police downstairs.
She was instantly inspired.
"Click!"
Theron didn't know what went wrong and looked at Li Chen with a puzzled face.
In the past two months, everyone has a deep understanding of this Oriental director, who is almost demanding on details.
Even Theron has to admit that the meticulousness and sensibility of the Orientals are vividly displayed in this young director.
“Charlize, the few steps up the stairs were fine, your movements were smooth and smooth, but after you came up, you kicked off your pants just for the sake of speed and lacked beauty.”
There was a translator on site who quickly translated Li Chen’s words to Theron.
“Come here.” Li Chen waved to Theron.
Theron walked to Li Chen and bent down. The smell of Chanel perfume entered Li Chen's breath.
Li Chen played back the image just now.
Pointing to the camera: "Look, this pedaling action is too ugly."
Theron nodded frequently, which was really not good-looking. Theron also noticed: "I'll do it again, director! (English)"
Liu Yifei and several other leading actors also gathered around to watch.
Several people couldn’t help but sigh at Li Chen’s high requirements for details.
Theron returned to the middle of the stairs.
“Action!”
This time, Theron started by going up the stairs and taking off her clothes. Every movement showed beauty, and she did not ignore the rhythm.
It is indeed a South African diamond!
With a height of 1.78 meters, every move of flipping her hair and shaking her head is perfect.
“Click! OK!”
Theron, dressed in smart clothes, smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. The staff quickly came up to help Theron wipe his hair and body.
Zhang Hanyu on the side secretly sighed that this woman's figure was really good.
After filming "Thieves", he finally realized the huge difference between Chinese actors and Hollywood actors.
Just talking about the treatment of Charlize Theron, the Oscar-winning actress, it instantly beats all the big names in the country.
In addition to having better food, clothing, housing and transportation than any Chinese actor.
I heard that this tall woman, known as the South African Diamond, also participated in the global box office share.
But when he thought about how even Zhang Ziyi was provided with a RV when filming in Hollywood, he was relieved.
The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time and the road has to be walked step by step. He is not in a hurry. He has been waiting for so many years and he does not care about waiting for a few more years.
August 25th, Liu Yifei’s nineteenth birthday.
One day in advance, thousands of fans left messages on Liu Yifei’s blog to send their blessings.
Many fans also asked Liu Yifei how she would spend tomorrow.
Artists in the industry also did not forget to ridicule Liu Yifei.
"Yifei passed away, and the crew of "Thieves" stopped production for one day."
"Xiaoming, I just called Yifei. Director Li did not fall into the trap and still insisted on Position."
"Brother Xiaoming, Brother Xun, you two have been working hard on your "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Painted Skin". "
Fans are curious! How could Li Chen give Liu Yifei a life? If he was perfunctory, they couldn't nod.
The media are even more probing around.
In the early morning of the 26th, it was still the 25th in Hollywood.
When several actors in the crew learned that today was Liu Yifei’s birthday, they all sent their blessings.
Charlize Theron and Monica both hugged Liu Yifei and said happy birthday.
Liu Yifei thanked each one.
After leaving the set and getting into the car, Miss Liu and Li Chen sat in the back seat.
Miss Liu folded her hands on her chest, with a sullen face, without even looking at Li Chen sitting beside her: "Director Li, how are you going to spend your day today?"
Li Chen couldn't bear it. I laughed secretly, Miss Liu was anxious.
It's your birthday, but you asked me how I spent it. This is a question for him.
Li Chen also pretended to yawn: "I'm so tired today. Let's go back and have something to eat with auntie, and then wash up and sleep."
Miss Liu put a hand on Li Chen's waist and raised her voice: "What did you say?"
But she was scolding Li Chen secretly in her heart: "Huh! Damn Li Chen! Stinky Li Chen! The promised gift "
Li Chen told her to use the box office as a birthday gift in front of her classmates before, but she still remembers it fresh!
Although she can refuse it, he cannot refuse to give it!
Li Chen looked tired: "Qian Qian, I'm too tired. Besides, it's already the 25th anniversary of the 25th in China. I'll make it up to you next year, okay?"
Miss Liu saw the tiredness on Li Chen's face, and it really didn't look like he was acting.
Thinking about the fact that he has been shooting for more than twelve hours every day in recent days, it is indeed hard enough.
Although she felt a little disappointed, she still asked thoughtfully and caringly: "Are you okay? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
Li Chen almost couldn't help but burst. Gong, what a kind-hearted girl.
You don’t even want to think about why the crew ended the filming early today.
Li Chen held her hand on his waist with soft eyes: "It's okay, just have a night's rest."
Miss Liu really believed it: "Well, then we will go home and have dinner. "Have a good rest."
"Yes" Li Chen closed his eyes and responded.
Miss Liu rested her head on his shoulder.
The Rolls-Royce moved forward slowly. When they arrived at Crystal Wu, Ms. Liu looked at her watch and saw that it was almost half past five.
I drove for a full hour, and I was still wondering why I was driving so slowly today.
The door of Crystal Wu Manor slowly opened.
Miss Liu shook Li Chen and said softly: "We're home, don't sleep."
Entering the manor, the sun was setting, the scene on the broad green lawn, let the car Miss Liu inside was stunned.
Wasn’t she dazzled? She actually saw Yang Siwei, Tangtang, Changchang, and the godfather.
As well as Tim and all the stars of Roguelike.
There are also some foreigners and acquaintances she doesn’t know.
On the lawn, the conspicuous birthday party decoration is extremely eye-catching.
There are also a dozen sports cars of various kinds parked directly outside the lawn.
In an instant, she understood everything, and immediately turned her head to glare at the man next to her who was acting with her all the way.
The corners of the young man's mouth were raised, and his dark eyes were full of smiles.
"Happy birthday, Princess Sissi"
I guess I will be scolded by my book friends for being a licker again, so just scold me, who told you that you are the parents of food and clothing!
