I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 200 The Furious Jiang Wen
The Venice Film Festival is divided into several "units", which are somewhat similar to a sports meeting, with running, high jump and weightlifting.

The director registers the films for a certain unit. This step is basically audition. After the organizing committee selects a batch, it announces which films have been shortlisted for a certain unit.

These films can then be screened at the Venice Film Festival for festival attendees from all over the world.

Then a few days later, after voting by the jury of each unit, it was time to present the awards.

Among the "units", the most important, the most famous and the most valuable is the "main competition unit".

The Venice Film Festival's highest award, the Golden Lion for Best Film, followed by the Silver Lion for Best Director and the Special Jury Award are selected in this unit.

However, the "Special Jury Award" is not given every year.

"Do you understand?"

The room was filled with smoke.

Jiang Wen smoked his last cigar, and also finished some basic introduction to the Venice Film Festival.

Qin Muchu nodded slowly. After Jiang Wen's introduction, he had a clear understanding of the general framework and process of the Venice Film Festival.

Know everything, and the other two major film festivals are not bad.

"I originally thought it was similar to the process of the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue, but there are some differences."

Jiang Wen was happy, and dimmed the cigar:

"You are also a serious director. You don't even know about the film festival. If you say it, it will make people laugh out loud."

Qin Muchu curled his lips, dismissing Jiang Wen's words, walked to the bed, and opened the window.

If you don't open the window, the smoke alarm will go off later.

Sitting back in the chair, looking at the four or five cigars in the ashtray with only one finger length left, I couldn't help complaining:

"You smoke cigars like cigarettes."

Normally, one cigar can be smoked for a day, which is regarded as a heavy smoker. Jiang Wen has at least two or three cigars a day!

"Oh, I smoke cigars not only for pleasure, but there are so many mosquitoes here, I smoke them more!" Jiang Wen leaned on the sofa, not paying attention.

Recently, he has really fallen in love with cigars and stopped smoking.

The cigar and the cigarette stand together, and the cigarette looks a bit sissy.

Thick, big and strong, a real man should smoke this!

Qin Muchu knew that Jiang Wen was talking nonsense. Venice did have a lot of mosquitoes, after all, it was a city on water.

But they live on high floors, and there are relatively few mosquitoes, and the hotel is cleaned every day, and some mosquito repellents are placed.

Anyway, Qin Muchu didn't feel a single mosquito while sleeping these days.

"Let's go, it's time to start. Tonight's opening movie is still one."

Qin Muchu picked up his coat and prepared to set off with Jiang Wen to the film festival venue.

"go!"

"Don't bring cigars!"

……

Film festival venue.

Qin Muchu and Jiang Wen parted, and Jiang Wen went to walk the red carpet. Qin Muchu didn't want to go, so he followed the staff of "The Sun" into the exhibition hall.

The long red carpet paved a road, and the reporters on both sides took photos with their cameras.

Compared to other crews with a large group of men and women, Jiang Wen's lineup on the red carpet was relatively "poor", and there were only two people in total——Jiang Wen and Cheng Zuming, both of whom were men.

But there is also an "advantage" of men walking the red carpet, that is, they can walk very quickly.

Jiang Wen thought about going in to watch the opening movie early after walking the red carpet, but was stopped by reporters.

Reporters from their own country are almost hoarse after chasing their voices, so it is not appropriate not to interview them.

"Director Jiang, is there any delay in your crew and actors not coming to walk the red carpet?" The female reporter ran all the way to catch up, still out of breath.

"Well, there's something to do, Zhou Yun, you know that if you can't come, the rest of the actors will come in the next few days." Jiang Wen replied.

"Director Jiang, your "The Sun" has entered the main competition. Do you have any expectations for the award?" The reporter asked again.

"I came here with a learning attitude, but the more awards, the better." Jiang Wen said modestly, but with a confident smile on his face.

"This year, three films from our Tianchao have been shortlisted for the main competition. In addition to your "The Sun", there are also "Lust, Caution" directed by Li An, and "Love God" directed by Li Kangsheng. In particular, director Li Yin has already won A Golden Lion, does that make you feel pressured?"

"There will definitely be pressure, but more motivation..."

Here Jiang Wen is still pretending to be modest, while Qin Muchu has already arrived at the screening room and will show the opening film later.

It's a Hollywood movie.

This year's Venice Film Festival is full of momentum in Hollywood. Eight films have been shortlisted for the main competition. It feels like occupying Venice.

There were a lot of people in the screening hall, basically in twos and threes, discussing something.

Qin Muchu found a place to sit down, waiting for the film to open.

"At the beginning of dismantling the wood?"

Suddenly, Qin Muchu heard a woman's voice with a strange accent, and he didn't take it seriously.

Qin Muchu didn't turn his head until a hand patted his shoulder.

"Remember me? shy boy."

Gail looked at Qin Muchu with a smile on his face.

Qin Muchu immediately recalled that this was the foreign girl he met the night he first came to Venice.

Didn't expect to meet again.

Seeing her calling himself "boy" again, I couldn't get used to it, and immediately smiled and said:
"Aunt Gail, what a coincidence."

Gail's smile faltered suddenly.

Then staring at Qin Muchu, he said seriously:

"Stingy man."

"Now you know I'm a man?"

"whispering sound."

Gail rolled his eyes, and then sat directly next to Qin Muchu.

"What do you do?"

In foreign countries, it is very normal to meet and ask about work, similar to "hello", unlike in China, where unfamiliar people ask about work will make people feel offended.

Anyway, before the movie started, Qin Muchu didn't mind chatting with her, so he said:
"Related to the movie."

"Are you an actor?" Gail's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

Qin Muchu thought about it, and he was indeed an actor.

"I'm an actor too."

Gail smiled, as if because Qin Muchu was traveling with her, his attitude was more cordial.

"Where did you develop?" Qin Muchu was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a coincidence.

But it is also reasonable to think about it. Gail is beautiful and has a good figure, which fully meets the requirements of an actor.

"I'm Israeli, but now I'm developing in Hollywood, just an [-]th-tier actor..."

After chatting with Gail for a while, Qin Muchu also had some understanding of her situation.

There is nothing to say about the actor's experience. He has only filmed one TV series and is somewhat famous.

But Qin Muchu was quite surprised that she had been a soldier before, no wonder she gave off a capable and heroic look.

While talking, Gail took out his mobile phone to answer the call, got up and said to Qin Muchu with some apology:

"My friend has something to ask me, I have to go first..."

He was so anxious that he left in a hurry without waiting for Qin Muchu's reply.

Weird foreign girl.

Qin Muchu shook his head and looked at the big screen again. The movie was about to start.

But he never saw Jiang Wen, and he didn't know if he didn't come or was sitting somewhere else.

Just about to make a phone call to ask, the phone rang. It was Jiang Wen who asked him where he was and gave Qin Muchu a place to find him.

Soon, Qin Muchu arrived at the destination according to the location given by Jiang Wen.

Unlike the place he randomly found just now, where there were almost all foreigners next to him, this place was full of oriental faces.

As for whether he is a person from the Celestial Dynasty, it is not certain...

"Where did you go, why didn't you go with the crew?"

Seeing Qin Muchu, Jiang Wen waved to him, and reserved a seat for him beside him.

"Find a place for yourself and sit down."

Qin Muchu sat next to Jiang Wen and recognized some people around him.

Liang Chaowei, Wang Lihong, Tang Wei...

These three together...

Qin Muchu suddenly felt a little familiar.

"Director Jiang, this is Director Qin, right? Movies and TV are amazing."

At this time, a middle-aged man spoke.

"Oh, it's just a small fight. It's far behind. It can't be compared with Director Li." Jiang Wen waved his hand.

Good guy, compare me directly.

Li An also couldn't tell whether Jiang Wen was modest or crazy.

"This is Director Li An."

Jiang Wen introduced it to Qin Muchu.

Li Eucalyptus?

A movie "Lust, Caution" suddenly appeared in Qin Muchu's mind.

He had seen it in his previous life.

It is said to be very good, but he only watched "part of the plot".

Well, the artistic component is high.

After saying hello, Qin Muchu fell into silence, listening to the nonsense of Jiang Wen and Li An next to him.

Until a female voice sounded:
"Director Qin, hello, I'm Tang Wei."

Qin Muchu looked at Tang Wei who greeted him politely, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind.

This one really dedicated himself to art.

"Hello."

Gently shook hands with Tang Wei, and then said nothing.

He absolutely did not discriminate against Tang Wei.

"Lust, Caution" is not an AV, nor is it a tertiary film, but the scale is very large. As an actor, Tang Wei sacrificed a lot for the film, which is an expression of dedication.

The reason why he didn't speak was because he didn't know what to say.

Tang Wei didn't speak anymore, maybe she didn't know what to say, but at this time the man sitting next to her spoke.

The man is a bit fat, and there is a sense of joy when he smiles:
"Director Qin, my name is Tian Yu, and Tang is my boyfriend. Nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Qin Muchu replied mechanically, while looking at Tang Wei and Tian Yu at the same time, a little inconceivable.

Boy friend?
She actually has a boyfriend?
Looking at Tian Yu's smiling face, he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Do you not mind your girlfriend filming such a large-scale scene?
Am I superficial?

But Tian Yu seemed to have misunderstood Qin Muchu's gaze.

"The two of us are not a good match. People always say that I am her father when we go out together, hahaha."

Tian Yu touched his face and teased himself with a smile.

"No, you... are a good match." Qin Muchu said.

Such an optimistic person, no wonder...

Qin Muchu asked himself, if his girlfriend made such a large-scale scene, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

You can say that his mind is unhealthy, he can't tell the difference between art and pornography, and his realm is low, Qin Muchu recognizes it.

But it’s no good for a girlfriend to shoot such a large-scale scene!
"Director Qin, is it convenient to leave a contact information?" Tian Yu asked.

"Oh, fine, fine."

Qin Muchu was still in shock, subconsciously agreed.

And Tian Yu glanced at Tang Wei, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.

It is said in the circle that Qin Muchu has a withdrawn personality, and basically does not get in touch with anyone except the actors he cooperates with.

Tian Yu thought it would be difficult to get the contact information, and he had already thought about how to ease the embarrassment after being rejected before he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Rumors are unbelievable.

Qin Muchu gave Tian Yu the phone number, and saw Tian Yu give Tang Wei the mobile phone with his number stored there.

Contact information for girlfriend.

This... Could it be true love?
At this time, Wang Lihong, who was sitting with Cheng Zuming, also asked for contact information.

"Director Qin, is it convenient for you to give me your contact information too? I often hear Jiao Lun talk about you, so we can talk about music together if we have the opportunity."

Qin Muchu knew that Zhou Jianlun and Wang Lihong were friends. Although the relationship was not as strong as his own, it was not bad. They often kept in touch in private, and they were not as tense as their fans.

But thinking of Wang Lihong's future explosion, Qin Muchu felt a little unwilling to give him his contact information.

Wang Lihong is a Chinese-American. He came back from studying music in the United States, wrote and sang songs, and became popular in China. He is also handsome, and his conversation is very elegant and polite...

Proper musical genius.

With this condition, why go to the female ticket?

But he was so humble and polite, and he brought out his relationship with Zhou Jiaolun, and he had already given Tian Yu his contact information, Qin Muchu really couldn't find a reason to reject Wang Lihong.

Just as he was about to give out his phone number, there was a sudden commotion in the auditorium.

"What's the matter?" Tian Yu stood up and looked around.

At this time, a thin man walked into the door of the auditorium.

"Hey, Director Zhang's style caused a sensation even when he came in."

Jiang Wen laughed and teased, it was Zhang Yimou who walked in.

No one answered, including Li An.

They didn't know Zhang Yimou that well, so they couldn't make jokes casually, otherwise if someone told Zhang Yimou one day and caused dissatisfaction, wouldn't it be a bad idea?

After Zhang Yimou entered the door, he looked around for a while, and then walked straight towards the place where Qin Muchu and the others were sitting, apparently looking for them.

"Director Zhang."

"Director Zhang."

Everyone rose to say hello.

Zhang Yimou frowned, forced a smile and replied:

"Hello."

Then he said to Jiang Wen:
"Wen'er, come here, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, wondering why Lao Mouzi not only didn't avoid suspicion at this time, but also took the initiative to whisper to him.

So with some reminders:

"You don't want to talk to me about the old days, do you? Then you have to wait until you go back to China."

He believed that Lao Mouzi could understand what he meant, and if it was not an important and urgent matter, he would talk about it later.

But Lao Mouzi insisted:
"It's not convenient to say here, you come out."

Seeing that Lao Mouzi was so determined, Jiang Wen knew it was not a trivial matter, so he became serious and followed Lao Mouzi out.

Qin Muchu looked at the two people who left, although he didn't know what was going on, but Lao Mouzi looked like that, probably it was not a small matter, and it had something to do with the old baby.

After a long while, Jiang Wen came back alone with a terribly gloomy face.

"what's up?"

Qin Muchu had never seen Jiang Wen so angry.

Jiang Wen didn't speak, but just stared at a person intently.

Qin Muchu followed Jiang Wen's gaze and saw Cheng Zuming.

Suddenly there was a bad premonition in my heart.

So angry, looking at Cheng Zuming again...

No way……

"Jiang, Uncle Jiang, what's wrong?"

Cheng Zuming also noticed that Jiang Wen was looking at him as if he was about to kill someone, so he swallowed in fear.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud applause.

All four were shocked.

Everyone looked at Jiang Wen incredulously.

Cheng Zuming was slapped against Wang Lihong's body, still a little dazed.

A red palm mark appeared on his face, like a birthmark, and it swelled up quickly, showing how hard Jiang Wen was exerting himself.

There was a brief moment of silence, and then the scene exploded like hot oil and water.

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang, it's easy to discuss something, so we won't make a move."

Immediately, someone hugged Jiang Wen, fearing that he would continue to attack, they hurriedly surrounded him and pulled him away.

"Don't pull me!"

But Jiang Wen, like a red-eyed bull, broke free from several people, grabbed the beaten Cheng Zuming and cursed angrily:
"Are you asking me extra? What did you do that you don't know?"
