I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 198 First Arrival in Venice

The sky is slightly dark, and the colorful neon lights on the buildings are shining, reflecting in the river running through the city, which is extremely gorgeous.

A two-story yacht with a dozen people sitting on it, both Eastern and Western.

The most conspicuous are the two men standing on the second floor of the yacht, both wearing big sunglasses, biting cigars, and leaning on the fence of the sightseeing boat.

"There is so much water here." Qin Muchu sighed.

"How can it be called a special water city with not much water?"

One mouthful is the quintessence of the country, and there is no one else except Jiang Wen.

The cigar was clamped in his hand, and the smoke he exhaled was quickly blown away by the wind. He pointed forward:

"Coming."

The land in front of the sea is gradually getting bigger, and an island appears in front of you. This is Lido Island, where the Venice Film Festival is held.

"Uncle Jiang, we are here."

The yacht slowly approached the shore, and on the deck of the first floor of the yacht, a young man who looked about the same age as Qin Muchu waved and shouted.

"Let's go."

Jiang Wen patted Qin Muchu, and the two walked down together.

"Hey, Uncle Jiang, slow down."

The young man who had just spoken jumped to the shore first, and then stretched out his hand graciously to give Jiang Wen a hand.

Jiang Wen shook his hands and stepped ashore:

"Nonsense, I'm not seven or eighty, and I want you to pull me."

Judging by the casual tone and attitude of speaking, Jiang Wen has a good sense of this young man.

And Qin Muchu stood aside, looking at the young man with complicated eyes.

Because the boy's name is Cheng Zuming.

The name may not be familiar, but his father must know it - Fang Long.

The second generation of the top stars in the entertainment industry played an important role in Jiang Wen's movie "The Sun", and this time they will come to the Venice Film Festival together.

But they didn't get together in Yanjing, but they met in Venice City, and then came to Lido Island together on a yacht.

The yacht was prepared by Cheng Zuming, otherwise Jiang Wen and Qin Muchu would have come by speedboat.

In that case, smoking a cigar is a bit of a waste...you take a puff, and the wind smokes one...

Cheng Zuming's attitude towards Qin Muchu is very warm, maybe because they are both young people, they chatted enthusiastically with Qin Muchu on the yacht, chatting about things.

But Qin Muchu only politely perfunctory him, and finally hid on the second floor of the yacht by saying that he was seasick.

Cheng Zuming didn't look for Qin Muchu anymore.

……

"You are not old, but my dad said, I want to respect you like my own uncle, let me learn from you."

Cheng Zuming touched his head, a little shy, looking at Jiang Wen with admiration.

Qin Muchu looked like Zuming, he was an honest boy.

Could it be... still haven't smoked at this time?

There were more than a dozen people in the group, except for Jiang Wen, Qin Muchu, and Cheng Zuming, there were also some crew members, people sent by the producer of "Da Yang" and the like.

Zhou Yun didn't come, and he had to take care of the children at home, so he couldn't get away.

And the rest of the actors didn't come so early, they would come back in a few days until the awards ceremony was approaching.

As the director, Jiang Wen took Qin Muchu to the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival on the evening of August [-]th.

That is a week later.

Lido Island has a surge in tourists every time it comes to the film festival. In addition to the filmmakers participating in the film festival, there are also film lovers from all over the world to watch this movie event.

Therefore, it is difficult to book a hotel, and it is ridiculously expensive. A random hotel costs two to three thousand euros a night, which is about tens of thousands of dollars a night in RMB.

"Boss Yang is indebted again."

Sitting on the bus to the hotel, Qin Muchu joked with a smile.

This time, their hotel in Venice was booked by Emperor Yang, and it was the best hotel on Lido Island. The daily accommodation fee was equivalent to the annual salary of ordinary people in China.

Jiang Wen's face darkened:
"Short fart, how much does it cost to stay in a hotel? The domestic box office can't make up for it, and overseas, the movie won an award, and maybe you can make a fortune selling the movie."

Qin Muchu smiled and said nothing, he was just teasing Jiang Wen on purpose.

As we all know, the box office of literary and artistic films is low, but it does not mean that it does not make money.

Investors are not fools if they really make one film and lose one film. They will definitely not invest again after losing a few times.

At that time, unless the director had a mine at home and lost money to make literary films, literary films would have disappeared long ago.

But literary films still exist, which means that they still make money, or that they won't lose a lot of money.

This is another function of the film festival - to sell films.

Most literary and artistic films can't earn much box office when they go online in cinemas, so many people sell part of the copyrights of the films to film companies at film festivals, such as DVD copyrights.

In this way, not only will the cost be paid back, but sometimes a small profit can also be made.

……

The bus soon stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Qin Muchu and others walked into the hotel lobby to prepare for check-in.

Just entering the hotel, Qin Muchu was taken aback and saw a familiar figure.

Thin, wearing a duckbill cap, and two foreigners beside him, the three talked and walked towards the elevator of the hotel.

"Director Zhang!"

Qin Muchu shouted directly.

In foreign countries, Chinese language can especially attract the attention of Chinese people.

Not to mention that his surname is Zhang and he is also a director, just now someone called "beauty", Zhang Yimou had to turn his head and look curiously.

So he turned back.

Turning around, a wrinkled smile appeared on his face:
"Xiao Qin! Why are you here?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu also went forward in two steps:
"I came with my dad, didn't he attend the film festival?"

Qin Muchu pointed to Jiang Wen not far away.

Jiang Wen also saw Lao Mouzi at this moment, and waved his hand to greet him with a smile, but he didn't come over.

The same is true for Zhang Yimou, and he has no intention of walking over to speak.

The two seem to have reached a tacit understanding.

Zhang Yimou had something to do, so Qin Muchu didn't chat with him for a long time, and made an appointment to see him again, and then they separated.

"What were you two doing just now? Why are you unfamiliar?" Qin Muchu walked to Jiang Wen and asked.

"To avoid suspicion, Lao Mouzi is the chairman of this year's judging committee. You have to be careful. Foreign paparazzi are also dogs. Isn't it embarrassing our country to splash dirty water at that time?"

……

Walking into the hotel room, the decoration is luxurious and the location is good. You can see the river outside the window, and sightseeing boats drift slowly on it.

Qin Muchu looked out the window and saw the different architectural styles in China, the pointed bell tower, the hemispherical top of the building, and the windows and doors of the house are basically arched.

This is a completely different scene from the Celestial Dynasty.

Qin Muchu suddenly wanted to see the scenery of Venice, so he walked out of the room and knocked on Jiang Wen's door.

"what's up?"

Jiang Wen opened the door and asked.

"Go out for a walk, are you going?"

"No, a film dealer will come later."

"Someone bought your film now? It can't be a liar, can it?"

Qin Muchu was a little surprised, the Venice Film Festival hadn't started yet, that is to say, "The Sun" hadn't been screened at the film festival, and the film had never been seen, yet someone bought it.

"Get out, I'm famous outside, you know what a fart! Get out, pay attention to your own safety, this is not in China."

Jiang Wen waved his hand, cursed impatiently, and then closed the door.

Qin Muchu pouted, and was about to leave when the door opened again.

Jiang Wen poked his head out:
"Ask Xiaocheng if he wants to go, and you two will be taken care of together."

"Well, let's forget it."

Although Qin Muchu wasn't sure whether Cheng Zuming was smoking or not, he didn't want to gamble. He heard that the stuff was picked up one by one among friends.

Jiang Wen became interested, Cheng Zuming did well in filming "The Sun", and he quite liked this young man.

One hand squeezed Qin Muchu's shoulder:

"What's the matter, you're suffering from arrogance again? Don't like him? That kid is a good actor and quite sensible."

"Eh... I can't be friends if my personality doesn't match."

Qin Muchu couldn't say that Cheng Zuming smoked it either, because he wasn't sure if he smoked it now, and secondly, he couldn't explain how he knew it.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Qin Muchu didn't give Jiang Wen a chance to continue talking, so he turned around and left.

Jiang Wen looked at Qin Muchu and felt a little strange. He felt that he was not telling the truth, but he couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and closed the door...

……

The elevator went all the way down to the lobby on the first floor.

Qin Muchu was still thinking that if nothing changed, then sooner or later the matter of Cheng Zuming's "sucking" would be exposed, and would there be more mosaics when watching "Da Yang" again?
Or simply can't watch "The Sun"...

"It seems that there is a movie because the actor is addicted. What is the name of the movie... There is Yang Mi, and there is an actor in it who is very unlucky. After ten years of debut, the movie has been banned. It's really memorized..."

Qin Muchu walked out of the elevator with a murmur.

Suddenly, a shout was heard:
"Little Qin!"

His body froze immediately, secretly cursing that some things really can't bear to be repeated.

Pretend not to hear, keep the same speed, head down and walk out of the hotel.

But some things cannot be avoided.

"Little Qin!"

A hand clapped on Qin Muchu's shoulder.

Qin Muchu raised his head and saw Cheng Zuming's face.

Squeeze out a smile and pretend to be surprised:

"Cheng...Brother Cheng, you go out too?"

This "brother" shouted very reluctantly.

But there was no way, the two were of the same age, and Qin Muchu was younger than him.

Moreover, Cheng Zuming also has a background, calling Jiang Wen and "Uncle", he can only accept this dumb fault.

Cheng Zuming smiled all over his face:
"Are you seasick?"

"It's better. I'm going to go shopping. This is the first time I've been to a western country." Qin Muchu replied.

Don't talk about it together, don't talk about it together... He murmured in his heart.

Maybe it was because of the nagging effect, Cheng Zuming really didn't say to go shopping with Qin Muchu, but patted Qin Muchu's shoulder, with a regretful expression on his face:

"Unfortunately, I'm too tired these days, otherwise I'll go with you."

"No, no, just rest, and I can do it myself."

Qin Muchu almost didn't laugh, trying to control the muscles of his face, and made a concerned expression:

"Brother Cheng, go rest and pay attention to your body."

"OK, then you have fun."

Cheng Zuming patted Qin Muchu on the shoulder and walked towards the elevator.

Qin Muchu looked at his back and heaved a sigh of relief. If Cheng Zuming had really said that he wanted to be with him just now, then he just happened to be a little seasick and might relapse again.

Shaking his head, he walked out of the hotel.

Suddenly felt something was wrong, turned around and looked at Cheng Zuming again.

He just... didn't he want to go out?
