I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 561 Only one copy in 559.67 years

Venice's red carpet is divided into three steps.

The first step is to take a group photo on the red carpet after the stars enter the venue.

The second is to arrange according to the design of the crew, such as who stays to take pictures alone.Usually the people who take the picture alone are the actors of the crew.

The third step is to accept the host's greetings and questions, and then you can enter the venue.

In the red carpet distance between the second step and the third step, everyone can interact with the audience for a while, or sign autographs, or take pictures, whatever.

Just don't waste too much time.

Moreover, because the Summer Palace is a very solemn historical place in Venice, there is no such thing as getting on and off by car.

The crew entering the venue walked out of the waiting hall, and then walked about 80 meters to the red carpet at the main entrance of the Summer Palace.

And this 80-[-]-meter street has always been the shooting location of all celebrities, entertainers, even supermodels, singers and other fashion blockbusters. It is a very famous scenic spot in Venice... and even Italy.

With the overcrowding of the waiting hall, the time gradually came to 05:30 Venice time.

Along the coastline of Lido Island, the setting sun is projected onto the colorful glass cross window at the entrance of the Festival Summer Palace, casting a holy light on the whole building.

The red carpet also started at this time.

And the order is also very simple, according to the scores of each unit, admission starts from low to high.

The main competition unit is the last to appear.

The people in the waiting hall seemed to be walking around, each with different expressions before Xu Xin's eyes.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, it was finally the turn of the main competition unit.

One crew after another began to go out, and soon came to the crew of "Tiantian Empire".

And Xu Xin and the others consciously moved towards the door.

At this time, he heard a voice:
"Director Zhang, you guys have to work hard."

Looking up, Liu Dehua was smiling and nodding towards this side, sending out his own blessing.

Zhang Yimou smiled and waved his hands:
"Come on, too."

"Well! See you at the dinner party."

The handsome Hua Zai nodded, and disappeared at the door along with Hua Yi's people.

"Tsk, so handsome."

Xu Xin sighed with emotion.

And his sigh got Liu Yifei and Lin Juxin nodding at the same time.

really……

Liu Dehua is really... the older he gets, the more flavorful he is.

How can someone grow from young and handsome to old?

It was really foul.

……

"Crack clap clap..."

In this short street of 80 meters, Xu Xin felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.

However, as the director of the crew, he still has to take the lead in moving forward.

By the time he saw the crowded red carpet at the festival summer palace, there were already many faint spots of light in his eyes.

It took me a while to get used to it, and just as my eyes recovered, it was the turn of the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree" on the red carpet.

But the red carpet here is not the same as in China.

Domestic award ceremonies are called Ding, Dingmao and Mao, and the arrangements for various procedures are very strict, in order to show everyone's good demeanor on the camera.

But the entire red carpet at the Venice Film Festival looked a little casual.

There is no fixed photo area, or instructions from the staff.

You just need to follow the process of group photo taking at the entrance of the red carpet, and then accept the host's interview. It doesn't matter how you stand or what style you pose.

Xu Xin even saw it... I don't know which crew member, after his own crew finished taking pictures, he deliberately didn't go in, but waited until Natalie Portman appeared, walked over to take a photo with her .

Random mess.

But I have to admit that the relaxed atmosphere is quite pleasant.

After waiting for a while at the crowded red carpet entrance, finally, a staff member held up the crew sign of "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

"Let's go, it's our turn."

Hearing the old man's words, Xu Xin came back to his senses, adjusted the dress on his body, and followed him forward, stepping onto the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.

The red carpet for this event was Sina Live.

This year, people from Sina won the live broadcast rights here from Venice.

Although it is already past 2 o'clock in the morning in China, there are still some night owls who stay up late to watch.

One of the host commentators is Jingwei, who has interviewed Yang Mi and one of the hosts of "Golden Armor".The other is Sina's cutting-edge host Martin.

And since the crew of the main competition unit came on stage, the commentators of these two people have obviously improved their spirits.

When the "Black Swan" crew came on stage, their emotions had reached a full point:

"Natalie Portman's belly..."

Tu Jingwei, who also just became a mother in the first half of this year, was a little surprised.

And Martin's voice also sounded:
"It's quite big, looks like three or four months?"

Jingwei responded:
"Almost. Speaking of which, the word-of-mouth of "Black Swan" in Venice this time is actually not bad. Although the score was closed yesterday, it has already reached No.6. But I read the news on the Internet, and everyone is more optimistic that she can get it. Best Actress award for..."

But at this time, the difference between the styles of hosts from CCTV and the hosts of the Internet came out.

In the program hosted by Jingwei, she always knows what to say and what not to say.

But Martin, as the network host of Sina's new era, doesn't have so many worries, and said with a smile:

"Yes, her voice is indeed relatively high, but at the same time, the main preference of the Venice Film Festival is to prefer the kind of crew that work hard to make movies. Therefore, they have always disliked too many controversial factors outside the venue. And "Black Let’s not mention the good or bad of the movie Swan, it has a lot of gossip outside.”

"..."

Jingwei didn't say a word, and the whole live broadcast was silent for about two or three seconds.

The audience who stayed up late to watch didn't care, and after two or three seconds, Jingwei's words rang again:

"Oh? I seem to see director Xu Xin in the camera."

"Well, I saw it too!"

The two of them should have had cryptic communication in the studio, so they didn't mention the previous topic at all.

"Speaking of which, Miss Jingwei, you have had contact with Director Xu, right?"

"Yes, I have been in contact with Director Xu and his wife."

"What were they like in private?"

"Well……"

After Jingwei's voice disappeared for another second, he said with a smile:

"In fact, I have a lot of contact with Yang Mi. When she debuted, I was the host of the premiere of "Golden Armor", and then I have met many times on other occasions. She and Director Xu gave me It feels very polite, the kind that is polite to everyone. Very low-key, very down-to-earth feeling."

"I heard Director Xu is a very humble person in private, is that right?"

"Yes, it's not too much to say that he is young and mature. The kind of person who is very considerate in dealing with people and things."

In the crew of "Black Swan", the two just chatted about Xu Xin and Yang Mi's private gossip.

Until the camera cut, Natalie Portman, who had finished taking pictures with others, came to the host Thiago Pierre.

The two of them calmed down, and after listening for a while, Jingwei said:

"Thiago Pierre asked Natalie Portman if she was enjoying the event. The answer was yes. She was enjoying everything about Venice, and the sheer cinematic vibe made her very happy. And when asked When talking about the prospect of the best actress..."

"Crystal is Liu Yifei's English name, right?"

"Yes. She said that she liked Liu Yifei's movie very much and thought she was a very strong opponent. Bless her and bless herself."

After the interview with Natalie Portman, she smiled and blew a kiss to the camera, and the screen switched again.

Came to the crew screen of "Attenborough".

Martin's voice sounded again:
"I'm more curious about the movie 'The Hawthorn'. But the thought that they are coming out in December before Christmas, and it's still a few months away, makes me sick."

"Yes, but it's never too late for a good meal. "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" really shined at this film festival. Judging from the summary of the news these days, I think this movie is very important to Liu Yifei. The news of the successful transformation released is actually more important than winning an award.”

Speaking of this, Jingwei's voice paused again, and added:
"She was too successful in the past, and the aura brought by this success is too dazzling. This also makes her feel trapped in the classic roles she created in the past few years. And this This is the first time she has received such a high evaluation, and her transformation has been successful."

"Yeah, from the "Special Deal", you can see the signs. That's why I'm curious..."

The two continued to chat there.

Waited until the red carpet process of "Attenborough" was over.

"I'm coming."

When the scene cut to the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree" just before the end of the red carpet, Martin's voice became excited.

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" filmed by the young Chinese director Xu Xin, shined brilliantly in this year's Venice Film Festival. Among all the films selected in the main competition unit, among the top three films with the highest audience ratings, the current No. The first is "Sad Trumpet Song" with a score of 9.4, while Director Xu's "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" and "Silent Soul" are currently tied for second with a score of 9.3. It can be said that as the first time to participate in the Venice film Director Xu's artistic accomplishments are obvious to all, even if his "first work" received such a high evaluation in Venice..."

"That's right..."

During the conversation between the two hosts, the entire live chat room also became restless.

"Knife in hand! Follow me! Kill Xu Gou! Grab Mimi!!"

"You look like a dog—Xu Xin!"

"The hatred of taking a wife is irreconcilable!!!"

"Brothers, can you stop swiping? What is needed now is to cheer for Xu Xin!"

"Guarding the best Liu Yifei in the world"

"Lin Gou, can you do it?"

"No, old fairy! The magic power is boundless!"

Among the scrolling comments, Zhang Yimou was in the middle, with Xu Xin next to him, then Xu Xin was next to Liu Yifei, Lin Juxin was next to Zhang Yimou, and finally Lin Juxin was next to Zhong Changyou. Several people showed bright smiles at the camera.

……

"Lin Gou, you and Liu Yifei stay here."

After taking the group photo, Xu Xin said with a smile.

Lin Xingxin nodded:

"it is good."

Then he looked at Liu Yifei again:
"You come first. I'm here to see you anyway~"

Liu Yifei, who was wearing a platinum rose dress with embroidery, smiled and nodded.

Seeing that the two of them had finished discussing, Xu Xin followed Zhang Yimou and Zhong Changyou.

But just walked a few steps...

"XU! XU!!!"

At first Xu Xin didn't realize calling himself, but Zhong Changyou reminded him.

"Director Xu, everyone is calling for you."

"Uh……"

Xu Xin turned his head, and saw a group of people holding various... trays on the other side of the red carpet auditorium?
He was waving at him.

"Go ahead and interact with the audience more."

Hearing what the old man said, Xu Xin nodded and walked over while wondering what the group of people were holding in their hands.

"Hello, hello..."

"XU!!&...*%"

He couldn't understand what a group of people were saying, but he saw that the group of people handed everything they had to him.

After Xu Xin took it subconsciously...

Senseless.

Why is it still hot?

He was in a daze, but the buddy who handed him the rectangular porcelain bowl had already lifted the lid.

"...?"

In an instant, Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

Cheese, cuts of meat, tomato sauce...

This...lasagna?

Wearing a proper dress and holding a lasagna in his hand, his style of painting suddenly went wrong.

Then I heard my buddies babbled a lot in very blunt English.

I can vaguely hear something like "Feito, low smash, Goodford".

but……

Brother, why are you giving me this?

How can I still eat it for you to see?

And it's not over yet...

"Xu!!"

The lasagna has an extra basket on top of the lid.

The kind with a shallow bottom, covered with plastic wrap.

What a margherita pizza inside.

Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

Everyone just asks for an autograph and a group photo... No, what do you guys think of me?
Lonely foodie?
And if one has two, there are three and four.

Soon, Lin Xunxin, who had just finished taking the photo, realized that something was wrong...

"I'm going to see Old Xu..."

Not just him, even the reporters noticed something was wrong.

At this moment, Xu Xin has a bunch of utensils in his arms...

Holding the food, he tried his best to raise his head... His arms were so full that they couldn't be fuller.

"...???"

Liu Yifei was dumbfounded.

The reporter was dumbfounded.

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

Watching this... foreigners being fed all kinds of traditional Italian food by Italian moms.

no……

Since the Venice Film Festival, they have never seen such an outrageous scene.

As for Xu Xin, it's okay if he doesn't pick up.

But people can't walk anymore.

In the end, if Lin Gou and Liu Yifei hadn't come to help him with their skirts, he might have been buried by the food.

Then, among the spontaneous cheers and applause of the audience, people with an average of three or four servings of food recruited the host Thiago Pierre.

Along with Zhang Yimou and Zhong Changyou.

Everyone hurry up and share the food, and after everyone holds it in their hands... the painting style of the entire "Under the Hawthorn Tree" crew has become "Hell's Kitchen".

And the Italian host not only didn't help, but also put his hand on Xu Xin's shoulder with a smile:
"My friend, do you feel the enthusiasm of our Italians?"

Listening to Zhong Changyou's translation, Xu Xin, who was dumbfounded, nodded subconsciously:
"Feel."

"Well, let me take a look...lasagna, risotto, wow, wild mushroom risotto... my grandmother is the best at making this. Haha, Xu, congratulations, you are indeed the most beloved child of your grandmother. If If you don't mind, please join me at dinner later to share these delicious treats, they look so good."

"Oh!!!!"

Hearing his words, the audience who fed Xu Xin cheered.

The movement was so loud that it even attracted the attention of the "Silent Soul" crew.

"Haha, Xu, they let you taste..."

In the bottom of Xu Xin's heart, the host had already turned into a troublemaker who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

He took the spoon from an unknown audience and dug a large spoonful of lasagna:

"This is my mother's smell~ Xu, I know it just by smelling it!"

"...that's quite authentic."

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched wildly, but under his feeding, his mouth grew...

After taking a big sip, Tiago Pierre smiled and said before the ketchup remaining at the corner of his mouth could be wiped off:

"Come, come, friends, please keep this scene that symbolizes the friendship between Italy and China in the album."

The left hand hooked Xu Xin, and the right arranged for other people to turn around.

Everyone turned to the reporters in the press box opposite the auditorium. Amid Thiago Pierre's happy smile, the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree", whose painting style suddenly collapsed, carried plates, baskets, iron pot……

That absurd and uninhibited expression was left behind.

And the rich ketchup on the corner of Xu Xin's mouth.

After gradually tasting this delicacy, Xu Xin really felt that it tasted good, and Xu Xin, who was also aroused his appetite for dinner, simply took the spoon from him and dug another spoonful.

"Oh~~~"

Amid bursts of cheers, Xu Xin gave a thumbs up.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Amid the applause, the most classic scene of this Venice Film Festival was recorded in the camera.

Only one in 67 years.

……

"Haha, here comes another spoonful...it looks really delicious."

In the studio, Martin also swallowed.

"Sister Jingwei, I'll be off work later, why don't we find a late-night snack with lasagna?"

"I think it's okay...Xu Xin's food is delicious."

"Just like Thiago Pierre said, he really became the favorite child of Italian grandmothers. Haha~"

……

"Try it, it tastes really good."

Holding this Italian lasagna in his hand, at the entrance of the festival summer palace, Xu Xin did not go in, but recommended it to others.

And I didn't forget to say to the staff who came to help Xu Xin with the food:

"It must be handed over to my assistant. I will go back and ask for food."

The Italian staff also nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, Director Xu Xin, we will definitely."

And Lin Xun, who took a spoon and dug a large spoonful, came up with a new sentence:
"Don't tell me, this little taste is really good... Would you like to try it?"

"..."

Looking at the combination of cheese and sauce, Liu Yifei swallowed subconsciously.

But still shaking his head:
"No... I'm wearing lipstick... Gudu..."

"Just take a bite, taste..."

"No, no, too fat... The heat is exploding, you two eat, I stay away from you two."

Lin Xunxin was rejected again. Although she was extremely eager, Liu Yifei still refused.

And Xu Xin also took the lasagna from him:

"Eat less, too."

After speaking, I dug another big spoonful.

Lin Juxin shook his head speechlessly, and took out the bra from his dress.

Liu Yifei quickly stopped:
"Hey, don't, you wipe your mouth with this, what if it gets ketchup on it?"

"It's okay, look at me."

Lin Juxin shook open the chest scarf, pointed his mouth at the middle part and wiped his mouth, then folded it into a triangle shape, and stuffed it into his breast pocket:
"I don't need to go to the side, won't it be over?"

"...you are really a loser."

Sister Shenxian's eyes were full of disgust.

And amidst this disgust, Xu Xin only had the last bite of this bowl of lasagna...

He thought for a while, and handed it to Liu Yifei:
"Don't you really want to try it? It's really delicious. If you don't eat it, you'll be gone... It's still burnt."

"Uh……"

Sister Shenxian looked at the last mouthful of lasagna...and looked at the spoon...

Swallowed.

"Then... let me try... Lin Gou, give me the bra."

"You use Lao Xu's, why use mine?"

Xu Xin rolled his eyes:
"You're not clean anyway, hurry up and let me use it."

As he spoke, he dug out the last spoonful and handed it to Liu Yifei.

Sister Shenxian used the kind of skills that girls can master, that is, baring her teeth, baring her teeth, and trying her best not to stain her lips with food, she also let out a big mouthful.

That looks like a black fly brother.

While chewing, she hurriedly asked:
"Have you spent it? Have you spent it?"

"No, perfect."

Xu Xin looked at the corner of her mouth and shook her head with a smile. Immediately, Sister Shenxian showed a happy look, and quickly grabbed Lin Panxin's bra and nodded at the corner of her mouth:

"is it okay?"

"OK~"

Xu Xin responded, took it, found a clean place to wipe off the ketchup in his mouth, and handed it to Lin Xingxin.

Lin Gou's eyes were full of disgust.

After eating a bowl of lasagna, Xu Xin instinctively wanted to hand over the tableware to the staff.

As soon as he turned around, he saw that at some point, a group of reporters were pointing their guns at his side.

He froze for a moment, then showed the empty long bowl with a smile, gave the utensil to the staff after giving the thumbs up again.

"Clap clap."

patting his belly:
"Well, it's much more comfortable to have something to cushion your stomach. Shall we go in?"

"Walk."

As the two nodded, the three joined the old man and Zhong Changyou who were chatting with others over there, and entered the festival summer palace together.

Quickly found my seat.

Xu Xin had an extra glass of water in his hand.

Sitting on the chairs, the three of them looked at the actually very ordinary...or crude awards ceremony stage, Lin Juxin suddenly asked:
"Old Xu, in case we win an award, have you prepared your acceptance speech?"

"No."

Xu Xin shook his head, looking very "casual"...if he could ignore his constantly shaking legs.

"Anyway, I didn't apply for any hope of winning, so what are you doing for that?"

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, the two people who had captured all his reactions in their eyes looked at each other...

"Old Xu."

"Ok?"

"You have a tough mouth."

"Isn't that necessary? When I die in the future, you all remember to look for the relic."

"..."

"..."

Take a look, this is all nervous and starting to talk nonsense.
