Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 232 Unexpectedly
Standing on the balcony of the Westin Hotel, Li Tang looked at the Mediterranean Sea with the same color of sea and sky, feeling really relaxed and happy.

Picking up the wine glass in his hand, he took a sip of the red wine, not to mention that the taste of the Italian red wine was quite good.

"You're not jet-lagged, you slipped me over early in the morning just to accompany you for a drink?" He turned his head and forgot to glance at Zhou Xun who was sitting on the beach chair.

Due to flight delays, she missed last night's opening ceremony and arrived in Venice early this morning.At this time, she was naked, with a few naughty freckles clearly visible on her face. She was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, and her short bare legs were exposed on her lower body.

It's just that for Li Tang, who loves long legs, these thin short legs really don't interest him much.

Zhou Xun snorted twice, and said: "You are the only acquaintance here, who can I look for if I don't look for you! Besides, if I change places, I will suffer from insomnia, and you don't know how to care about me."

Li Tang shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Don't, it's not my turn to care about you. Didn't you make a little boyfriend, why didn't you bring it this time?"

Zhou Xun met a young male model who was seven years younger than her when she was filming "Misty Rain and Beauty" last year. Considering that the young male model was not yet [-] last year, she was really good at it.What's even more bloody is that this little male model is also the cousin of Dou Wei's current girlfriend who is the ex-husband of the former lead singer of the Black Panthers and Queen of Heaven, and Zhou Xun's ex-boyfriend who has been dating for five years is also Dou Wei's cousin.

It turns out that they are all family members. You said that the relationship is messed up.

In the end, Zhou Xun sighed quietly: "Don't mention it, we broke up a long time ago."

Li Tang was not surprised by this at all. After all, the little boy had just debuted and was very immature, and he was inadvertently seduced by the old aunt. If the man didn't pursue the hobby of the cutest height difference, this relationship would definitely not last long.Moreover, there might be someone behind her who gave advice and used her as a springboard.

Just like last year when the Queen of Heaven and Xie Tingfeng were rumored to be having an affair, the age difference between the pair was even greater, by a full 11 years.For Xie Tingfeng, who just debuted not long ago, falling in love with the queen has greatly increased his exposure and popularity, and now he seems to be the number one person in the new generation of Hong Kong.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Xun asked instead: "You didn't ask me why I broke up?"

Li Tang shrugged his shoulders and couldn't help laughing: "I think you are in good condition now, and besides, I never inquire about matters involving personal privacy."

Zhou Xun curled his lips, and then asked again: "You and your little friend are doing well, aren't you?"

In fact, not to mention the second elder brother, Li Tang and Fan Xiaopang are also seven years apart.

"Well, it's okay!"

"Then let me treat you to dinner today." Zhou Xun suddenly said with great interest.

She has been in contact with Fan Xiaopang a few times, but she is actually a little confused. Apart from being beautiful, Fan Xiaopang probably has nothing special about him. Do men like the kind of young, beautiful, but not What connotation of a woman?
Li Tang shook his head and said, "Not today. The short film "Car 44" directed by Wu Shixian premiered tonight. I agreed to see it. Maybe another day."

Zhou Xun's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go too."

Li Tang said with a smile: "Of course you are welcome to go there. They still worry that they can't find a big guy to support the scene."

"What kind of big coffee am I? I'm always a passer-by in Europe."

"How can you be a passerby? You will be arranged here when you come here. We can only stay in the guest house."

Speaking of this, Li Tang really felt a little sour, there was no way, who called him the queen of Paris.Although the Paris International Film Festival is not well-known in China, it is almost equivalent to the Busan Film Festival in Asia in Europe.If you say that a filmmaker from the Busan Film Festival will participate in our domestic Golden Rooster Awards or the Shanghai International Film Festival, it must be treated as a guest of honor.

But Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "I borrowed Cheng Dao's light."

Cheng Guo was shortlisted for the main competition unit last year. Although he didn't win an award, he was shortlisted again this time. For the organizers of the film festival, he can be regarded as a direct descendant worth cultivating in Asia.With the addition of the two factors, they are definitely qualified to stay in Westin.

……

This year's film festival has as many as [-] films shortlisted in the two competition units, more than the previous ones. Including films from various screening units, the total number exceeds [-].

The Movie Palace is such a big place. In addition to the main venue that can accommodate more than 1000 people, there are also several small halls that can accommodate more than 100, [-], [-], and [-] people.The screenings of feature films are concentrated in various screening halls, so compared with previous years, the number of screenings of shortlisted films has to be reduced.

For example, "The Third Man" was arranged in a small hall that can accommodate about 300 people. In addition to the special media session before the premiere, two screenings were arranged, one premiere and one regular screening.

In addition, there are several screening rooms with only dozens of seats in the movie palace, which are too small to be called "halls".Due to the length of the short films, most of them are arranged to be screened in this kind of screening room, so there are no red carpet premieres.

Despite this, Xiaopang still dressed up carefully.In her words, this is the first event she attended after the opening ceremony, so of course she should pay attention to it.

In contrast, Zhou Xun is more casual, with a T-shirt, capri pants, and flip flops, all dressed like a tourist.

When Li Tang, Xiaopang, Cheng Er and others came to meet Zhou Xun at the entrance of Lido Island Movie Palace, she was accompanied by a little black fat man about 40 years old.

"This is Director Cheng Guo."

"This is Li Tang, this is Fan Binbin, this is..."

Zhou Xun introduced to both parties, but she didn't know Cheng Er.

Li Tang quickly introduced: "This is our director Cheng Er. Director Cheng, hello!"

"Mr. Li, hello!"

"Miss Fan!"

"Director Cheng!"

Cheng Guo spoke very imprecise Mandarin and shook hands with them one by one.

After a brief greeting, the group walked into the movie palace.

Wu Shixian and Gong Beimi, dressed in their best attire, had long been waiting at the entrance of the screening room. As audience members of the last film festival, Wu Shixian certainly knew director Cheng Guo, and Zhou Xun also came. The couple were inevitably flattered and rushed. Come up.

Of course, among the media reporters cruising around the movie palace, some of them knew Cheng Guo and Paris Film Queen Zhou Xun, and they all stepped forward to take pictures and interview a few words by the way.

Because of the reporter's attention, it helped the short film "Car 44" attract a lot of attention, so many fans stopped and walked into the screening room with the mentality of giving it a try.

When Li Tang and the others walked in, the small projection room was already full.In addition to the movie fans, there are several reporters and people who look like filmmakers.

"Brother Li, thank you!"

When he was seated, Wu Shixian expressed his gratitude to Li Tang with a grateful face.

You must know that when Li Tang and his party came, there were only single-digit audiences in the screening room.It was Cheng Guo and Zhou Xun's arrival that attracted the reporters, and the reporters' interviews attracted movie fans and filmmakers.This is very important for Wu Shixian, a new director, and it means that his debut at the Venice Film Festival has ushered in a very good start.

This is the same as uploading a new book. As a new author, it is difficult to get the first shot, but it is different if you have a great author to help you attract traffic. It can not only attract readers, but also attract the attention of website editors.As long as your writing does not stretch your hips, generally speaking, you will definitely have a good grade.

There was no premiere ceremony, and there was no prologue. After everyone was seated, the screening began.

"Car 44" is just a 1-minute short film, which is not even as long as a commercial to put it bluntly.

Ten minutes is very short, but the story is not simple at all.

It is about a long-distance bus No. 44, which pulls a full load of passengers.Gong Beibi played the female driver, and a handsome guy chatted with her when he got in the car.But when I ran into bandits on the road, they not only robbed but also robbed.But the passengers in the car were indifferent. The young man failed to mobilize and rushed out of the car alone.

When he saw this, Li Tang couldn't help but smile knowingly. As a screenwriter and director, Wu Shixian must have watched "Extreme Summer", but the plot is reversed.He played Lei Haiyang who hid and didn't dare to rescue Ma Xiaoqin who was raped by a strong woman, and the guy in the short film not only failed to save the female driver, but was stabbed by the gangster.

Originally thought it might be a love story, but here the plot has a 180-degree reversal.

The insulted female driver drove the injured guy out of the car. The depressed guy finally took a car, but was overtaken by a police car while driving, and the guy was inevitably a little worried.The matter soon had an answer. The No. 44 long-distance bus was driven into the ravine by the female driver, and the female driver and the passengers on the bus all died.

At the end of the story, the boy's car passed by the scene, and seeing the No. 44 long-distance bus that was flattened in the ravine, the boy suddenly broke into a smile.

When the subtitles began to scroll on the screen, the entire projection room was still silent, and Wu Shixian even turned his head to look anxiously.What he may not know is that the audience at this moment is probably the same as Li Tang, feeling creepy and shocked at the same time.It can only be said that the ending is too unbelievable, and it is the result that no one could have expected.

When the lights came on, all the audience including Li Tang, Cheng Guo and others stood up and gave warm applause.

　Second more!
