I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 310 Reasons for Not Participating in Domestic Awards
On September 9nd, at 2:66 pm local time, the [-]th Venice Film Festival kicked off on Lido Island in Venice, Italy.

Outside the long red carpet fence, there are movie lovers from all over the world.

"Welcome the chairman of the jury this year, Li An, the judges..."

The jury has already entered the venue, and there was a burst of cheers and applause.

And Qin Muchu, who was waiting for the red carpet to enter the venue, looked at the crowded scene of the film festival, and felt a little bit different.

Two years ago, he accompanied Jiang Wen to the film festival, and Li An won the Golden Lion Award for "Lust, Caution".

As time passed, he brought his own work to the film festival, and Li An became the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival.

Who is behind, it's obvious.

"Let's take a photo together, and I'll post it on our domestic website later."

Yang Mi walked over with a camera and a bright silver dress.

"Okay, I'll take a picture for you."

Chen Daomin clapped his hands and was about to step forward to take the camera.

Yang Mi shook her hand and said with a smile:

"No, Uncle Daomin, let's get closer and take a selfie."

"Selfie? What kind of selfie is this? There are quite a few of us." Chen Daomin was puzzled.

All the cast and crew came, Mr. You, Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, Liu Yijun, Yang Mi, plus himself and the director Qin Muchu, a total of seven people.

For selfies, the lens is not easy to install.

"Should I ask someone to help me?" He asked again.

As soon as the words fell, Gong Li pulled Chen Daomin over:

"Daomin, you just follow the command."

Yang Mi also said:
"Uncle Daomin, we are a family in this movie. Others are very familiar with the filming. Let's huddle together and be more intimate."

Chen Daomin was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, I will follow the command."

Next, Yang Mi started to make arrangements.

Mr. You stood in the middle, Gong Li and Zhang Manyu stood on both sides, then Chen Daomin stood behind Gong Li, and Liu Yijun stood behind Zhang Manyu.

Because the male is taller, there is no cover at all.

Then she stood in the front row again, squatted down slightly, and waved to Qin Muchu:
"You stand next to me and I'll take a picture for you."

"Can't you just take a picture?" Qin Muchu took the camera and muttered.

"Oh, my photos are not as good as yours, hurry up, hurry up..."

Yang Mi acted like a baby, and adjusted Qin Muchu's position:

"You stay a little farther away from me, yes, raise your hands higher."

After Qin Muchu stood up according to Yang Mi's request, he turned the camera over and pressed the shutter.

This time I took a test shot to see if the camera was aligned and if everyone was captured.

Looking at the photos in the camera, Qin Muchu understood why his girlfriend told him to stay away and take pictures.

This careful girl, the photos taken in this way make her face look very small.

Shaking his head and adjusting the camera position, he said:
"Let's look up together, 3, 2, 1, eggplant!"

After the voice fell, there was a "click", and the screen froze.

Yang Mi held the camera happily, and looked at the photos just taken with Gong Li and Zhang Manyu, while the men chatted aside.

"Jiang Wen is still busy with movies?"

Chen Daomin patted Qin Muchu's arm and asked curiously.

Apart from this reason, based on what he knew about Jiang Wen, his godson must accompany him when he marched into Venice.

"Well, I only did a little bit in the later stage, and I couldn't find a soundtrack that he was satisfied with."

Speaking of this, Qin Muchu was a little funny.

What if I can't find a satisfactory soundtrack?
Joe Hisaishi.

This old man is also pitiful, he has to be tortured by Jiang Wen at a very old age.

Of course, these are the reasons given by Jiang Wen above. The post-production of "Bullet" does not take a day or two. There is still time to spare ten days to participate in the film festival.

The real reason why Jiang Wen didn't want to come to Venice...

Venice hurt the old baby too deeply.

Thinking of something, Qin Muchu looked at Chen Daomin and asked:

"I heard that you acted opposite him in the gift film?"

"Hey, you're talking about this." Chen Daomin shook his head, "I almost didn't act in the ditch for him."

"What's the matter?"

"He played the role of my boss, and while he was talking, he suddenly came up with the phrase "national quintessence". I was taken aback."

Speaking of Jiang Wen's performance in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", Chen Daomin couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Wearing a toad mirror, the salute is also very strange, the key is that he can find a reason to make people listen to him.

Thank goodness he was not allowed to play a great man, otherwise we would all have to apologize. "

Chen Daomin had a headache. He was the one who was most affected by Jiang Wen's affairs. It was originally a few simple scenes, but he could leave after a day or two, but Jiang Wen made it extremely complicated.

Qin Muchu smiled. He could imagine Jiang Wen's messing around in the "Jianguo" crew.

"Perhaps he did it on purpose because he was not allowed to play a great man."

Chen Daomin was stunned.

With Jiang Wen's bad personality, he was really capable of doing this.

After ending this topic with a smile, Chen Daomin asked again:

"I heard that the third master asked you to act in "The Founding of the People's Republic of China". You refused?"

"There are no suitable roles, and my acting skills are not good either." Qin Muchu shook his head.

"That's not what I said. How many actors do you know who just want to show their faces? What kind of acting skills do you need to show your faces?"

Chen Daomin patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Xiao Qin, if this movie doesn't fail, there will definitely be another series in the future. You have to take the initiative to participate in the next filming. You must not wait until someone invites you, let alone refuse."

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Muchu understood the reason.

This is a matter of attitude.

Now that I think about it, it was really wrong to reject the third master's invitation. Fortunately, it was the third master who valued me very much, so the news didn't get out.

Otherwise, let the media know that I refused to appear in the gift film, and I don't know what evil wind will spread.

If Zhuo Wei had blackmailed him because of this incident, then he really had nothing to do.

Even Section Chief Yang and Director Li are not helpful.

"Understood, Uncle Daoming." Qin Muchu thanked earnestly.

The process of the red carpet proceeded slowly, and the crew entered the arena one by one. Qin Muchu asked Mr. You how the play was doing, and then they entered the arena.

The eyes of the audience gathered, and all the foreigners applauded.

This is for Gong Li and Zhang Manyu.

The two are well-known abroad, especially in film festivals. Gong Li also served as the chairman of the jury at the Venice Film Festival.

But at this time, the C position on the red carpet is a young man.

Generally speaking, this position is the director.

This made them a little puzzled, is this director so young?
And soon, the host's introduction sound solved their doubts.

"The crew of "Father Trapped in Time" is coming, and the director is Qin Muchu from the Celestial Dynasty..."

Qin Muchu...

Many people have already shown their thinking. The audience who can come to the film festival are basically movie enthusiasts. Therefore, compared with ordinary audiences who watch movies and focus on the actors, they will deliberately pay attention to who the director is.

The name Qin Muchu was somewhat familiar to them.

"Berlin! I remembered, the director of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"!"

As one person shouted, more and more people gradually remembered who Qin Muchu was.

Some of them also participated in that session of the Berlin Film Festival, witnessed the presentation of the Golden Bear Award.

"No, I remember that Qin Muchu in Berlin was a middle-aged man, much older than him."

Some people questioned, suspecting that there was something wrong with their memory.

"You must not have looked carefully. It was his father. He was not there at the time."

"Really!? I love "When Happiness Comes Knocking" so much! I have replayed it no less than ten times!"

"Twenty times!"

"He is also the director of "Inception"!"

The audience from the Celestial Dynasty pretended to be a casual reminder.

To be honest, when I saw my compatriots being so sought after outside, I couldn't express the secret joy in my heart, and I felt a sense of pride.

"What? "Inception"? That movie is so explosive! I have rewatched it no less than twenty times!" The foreigner looked shocked.

"Forty times for me."

"Hey, no meat, are you targeting me?"

"..."

The onlookers' discussion became louder and louder, and the repercussions overwhelmed all the crews that appeared in front.

"Qin Muchu is very popular."

Li An listened to the extremely non-standard pronunciation of "QIN", and said to the judges with a smile.

"Of course, a good movie is always memorable. The longer it is, the more precious it becomes. Compared with it..."

The French judge, Sandrina Burnell, seemed to have something to say and didn't continue to say.

At the Berlin Film Festival that year, the Double Yolk Egg was awarded, and one of the two Golden Bears was awarded to "Elite Force" and the other to "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

At that time, there was an argument that "Elite Force" was only politically correct to win the award. Now that a year has passed, when it comes to the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 08, everyone is talking about "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and few people have mentioned "Elite Force"...

"Li An, do you want to go in together?"

The rest of the judges greeted them, saying that they were about to enter the venue.

"No, I'll wait for someone, I'll go in later, you go first."

Li An looked at Qin Muchu on the red carpet, turned around and replied.

……

The red carpet is not long, even if you stop to take pictures, it won't take long to finish.

After walking the red carpet, you don’t just enter the venue directly. There is still a while before the opening ceremony, and you can choose to accept interviews in corners that don’t affect others.

Seeing the crew of "Sleepy Father" gradually walking down the red carpet, the media are already gearing up, especially the Chinese media.

Qin Muchu didn't plan to go directly to the venue, he still had to feed the media. Just as he was going to be interviewed, he saw a man walking over.

"Director Qin."

Li An was all smiles and stretched out his hand.

Then I greeted several other actors.

"Director Li, long time no see." Qin Muchu said politely.

Li An's attitude was so enthusiastic that he didn't understand why, so he came here to say hello.

Our friendship is not so good.

When fellow villagers see fellow villagers, are they teary?

What made Qin Muchu even more confused was that Li An actually just came to say hello.

After saying hello, he left without looking back...

This……

Not only Qin Muchu was dumbfounded, but Gong Li and the others were also dumbfounded.

"Is Director Li An so polite?"

Yang Mi's eyes were strange, and she couldn't keep her smile.

The rest of the people also looked blank, they had never cooperated with Li An.

With a strange expression, the crew accepted the reporter's interview.

The priority is to choose the reporter from the Celestial Dynasty, who is a very young girl.

"Director Qin, hello, I'm a reporter from the movie channel..."

Yo, Princess Six.

Seeing that it was official, everyone raised their spirits.

The first question is for Qin Muchu.

"Director Qin, this should be the first time you have personally brought a film to a film festival. Do you feel any different?"

"Well……"

Qin Muchu pondered for a moment,
"I'm going to be a little apprehensive, it's different from the usual movie releases, you don't have to watch the outside evaluation or what.

And the film festival is to take your work to others for evaluation, and this evaluation will be embodied as various awards, and then you have to accept..."

As soon as the female reporter's eyes lit up, she followed the trend and asked:
"So you care about winning the prize?"

"Haha~"

Qin Muchu chuckled lightly:
"It would be a lie to say that I don't care. How can I be so open-minded... However, the most important thing is to enjoy the process and broaden my horizons. I have seen and seen how movies from all over the world are like. Only by communicating with others can we improve. I think this is also the purpose of the film festival."

In the past, he felt that this statement was false, but no one wants to win prizes in competitive activities.

But when I got to this position, I found that awards are really not that important.

If you can't get it, you can't get it. At worst, you won't come next time...

The female reporter nodded, and suddenly asked:

"We found that Director Qin doesn't seem to have participated in our country's film festivals and related awards. Your work has never appeared in the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse, and Golden Statue Awards. What is the reason?"

"Forehead……"

This question really asked Qin Muchu, and if he could not answer it well, it would be easy to be regarded as "worshiping foreigners".

Seniors such as Gong Li and Chen Daomin naturally knew the root cause of this problem. Just as they were about to explain to Qin Muchu, they heard him say:
"Actually, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" originally planned to participate in the Academy Award, but later won the Golden Bear Award. When I was happy, I forgot about it...

The following "Inception" is not strictly a Chinese film, and it is not suitable to participate in domestic awards..."

happy to forget...

The corner of the female reporter's mouth twitched, you are quite honest.

But she didn't intend to let Qin Muchu go, and asked again:
"What about "Father Trapped in Time"? Will this film participate in domestic awards? In terms of time, it should be able to catch up with the Golden Horse Awards."

"Uh, the Golden Horse Awards..."

Qin Muchu scratched his head,
"You can participate, but the Golden Horse Awards is not like a film festival. You can watch movies, but it's just an award, and it's quite far away..."

He looked at Gong Li and other actors beside him:
"If you don't have time, go, I won't go, I'm very tired."

"Cough cough."

There was a coughing sound.

Gong Li couldn't bear it any longer, and poked Qin Muchu:

"I'm not tired after going to Wanwan for more than half a month with you, but tired of participating in the awards?"

"hey-hey."

Qin Muchu smiled mischievously:
"Sister Gong Li, you also said that I went to Wanwan to play, of course I am not tired from playing, but participating in the Golden Horse Awards is work, and work makes people tired."

"..."

"..."

"..."

A group of people's lips squirmed, but they couldn't speak.

What he said was so reasonable that he couldn't refute it!
And Qin Muchu is still using his imagination:

"To be honest, it would be great if Venice was online, so I can watch movies at home...Well, I hope that in the future, there will be big film festivals and awards in front of my house, which will be just a few steps away. It will be very convenient."
