I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 64 Opening Ceremony
"Qingzi, please help me see if there is anything wrong."

Yan Dong, who was wearing leather shoes, suit and tie, and a neat three-piece suit, looked at himself in the mirror and arranged it back and forth, always feeling a little dissatisfied.

Wearing a slim-fitting suit and a slicked back hair, Wan Qingshan, who was full of charm, looked back.

"Well, there's no problem. With your appearance, it's pretty good that you've turned yourself into a person."

"Ha ha ha ha.",,,
Wan Qingshan's serious evaluation made Li Yancheng and others who were familiar with Yan Dong laugh wildly.

"Qingzi, if we weren't going to the opening ceremony soon, I would have to fight with you." Yan Dong tugged on his tie and said fiercely.

Wan Qingshan adjusted his tie and turned around.

"In the cold winter, you are just a photographer. No matter what you do, no one will pay attention to you, so you can just be your foil."

Yandong was stunned for a moment, and then - rushed towards Wanqing Mountain, "Qingzi, I will fight with you."

Wan Qingshan dodged and walked out quickly, laughing loudly at the same time, "Winter, this is a red carpet, not a blind date. Why are you looking so coquettish? Your suit is actually burgundy."

Yan Dong did not chase after Wan Qingshan. He looked in the mirror and arranged his clothes again, shouting loudly, "What do you know? This is called fashion."

These words made Yu Bo and others couldn't help laughing again.

After everyone joked, they went to the opening ceremony lobby in Venice.

After the Venice Film Festival shortlist was announced, news media reported on it.

Two and a half Chinese-language films were shortlisted for Venice, especially Wan Qingshan, who won the best actor award in Berlin at the beginning of the year, and now the new film has been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival.

It was shortlisted for two major international film festivals in one year, which made domestic film fans stunned and started talking about it.

Various strange posts appear one after another on the Internet, including posts discussing whether Wan Qingshan can win the award, and others discussing whether Wan Qingshan will be the next Zhang Yimou.

These posts are not very popular. The most popular ones are betting on whether Wan Qingshan can win the best actor at this Venice Film Festival.

When the news media saw the popularity, they were like dogs seeing shit. Every news media sent more reporters to Venice, including CCTV.

When Wan Qingshan and his party appeared on the red carpet of the opening ceremony, the domestic media who had been waiting for a long time immediately raised their cameras to take pictures.

"Mountain!" "Mountain!",,,,

The sudden sound from the crowd on both sides made Wan Qingshan turn his head and look, only to see a group of young people waving their hands and shouting excitedly at him.

Wan Qingshan waved his hand quickly.

After walking through the red carpet and entering the auditorium, under the guidance of the staff, the crew of "Heart" sat down in the front seat.

Everyone looked around, and Yu Bo turned around and said, "Qingzi, I didn't expect you to have so many movie fans in Venice."

"I do not know either."

Regarding these fans, Wan Qingshan couldn't understand the situation.

Calling Shanfeng means "Selection" Feng Shan, but is "Selection" so popular in Europe?There are actually fans of his in Venice.

There were no singing and dancing performances at the opening ceremony in Venice. When the time came, the host came on stage and started the show with witty remarks.

Although Wan Qingshan couldn't understand what the host was talking about, he saw that the people around him were all amused by the host.

After the opening remarks, two Lifetime Honorary Awards were awarded, and then the opening film "In the Heart" was played

As soon as "Heart" played, Wan Qingshan looked at Liu Wei frequently.

The movie only played for half an hour. Later, from the crew of "The World", Jia Zhangke's future wife Zhao Tao whispered, "Old Jia, the theme of this movie is a bit similar to "The World"."

Jia Zhangke frowned and nodded.

"Lao Jia, is "Heart" really a favorite for the Golden Lion Award? I don't know if it's because I don't know how to appreciate it. Why do I feel that this is similar to our "The World"."

Jia Zhangke was also confused. This movie was wonderful, but it definitely didn't deserve the title of great movie in the judges' mouth.

Over there, Hou Xiaoxian in the "Coffee Time" crew was as confused as Jia Zhangke.

Not only Hou Xiaoxian knows about the judges' praise for "In the Heart", but also many directors who have a good relationship with the judges know about it.Therefore, at first they watched "Heart" with curiosity and unwillingness to admit defeat.

But as they watched, they began to question the eyes of the Venice judges.

When the movie came to an end and the painting style became very strange, the eyes of everyone who frowned suddenly brightened up.

The silent solo scene played slowly, and after 5 minutes, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

After 10 minutes, someone couldn't help but stood up and stared at the screen.

15 minutes later, someone couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh, that's awesome."

As the character played by Wan Qingshan fell from the roof of the building, the sound of the harmonica sounded.

Pa pa pa,,,,,,

Everyone stood up and clapped vigorously with excitement.

Some people from the crew around Wan Qingshan rushed over, hugging Wan Qingshan excitedly and yelling.

As for what was said, Wan Qingshan couldn't understand, but from his tone and eyes, he knew that the movie shocked the man.

After Wan Qingshan responded with a smile on his face, he struggled to break free from the man's arms.

If this was a young woman, he would probably let her hold her, but this was an old man with a strong body odor, and Wan Qingshan really couldn't stand it.

In the crew of "The World", Zhao Tao, who had recovered from the shock, looked at the foreigners around her who were looking excited and whispering to each other, and she felt a little confused.

Then, she frowned, turned around and asked,
"I always think this movie is a bit strange. What do you think of it, Lao Jia?"

"Haha, it's normal for you to feel strange. The beginning and the next two 10 minutes show the confusion and despair of the young rural generation under the reform, and at the same time it is a metaphor that the development of the city is exchanged for the vitality of the countryside.

The plot in the middle shows the ideological conflict between the younger generation and the older generation.

One movie has two themes, so you feel weird. "

Jia Zhangke sighed and continued, "I finally know why the Venice judges said this is a great movie.

If I had known earlier, I should have invited more people. If I had invited Director Wan to star in "The World", I would have won the Golden Lion this year. "

"why?"

Zhao Tao was confused. He couldn't understand why Jia Zhangke said that.

"Because in those 10 minutes, Director Wan used his acting skills to push a wonderful movie to the point where it will remain famous in film history."

Zhao Tao's eyes widened, "No, his acting skills are very good. I admit that there should be no domestic actor with better acting skills than him, but it is impossible to reach this level."

"You are not from a professional background, so when it comes to acting, your theory is still far behind.

Let me tell you, any actor or director with a professional background will go crazy for this scene.

In these two 10 minutes, Director Wan achieved the ultimate in Brechtian performance.

Moreover, there are no lines, only eyes to perform, so you can imagine how difficult it is to perform.

If not, do you think these foreigners would be so excited. "

Zhao Tao had also found it strange before. Although the [-]-point silent one-man show shocked him, it was not enough to make these foreigners so excited.

Jia Zhangke's words made her understand a little bit. Wan Qingshan conquered everything with his superb acting skills.

"No, if he can use his acting skills to push the movie to a higher level, then he will definitely win the Best Actor award as long as he stars in it." Zhao Tao exclaimed.

Jia Zhangke was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile, "It's impossible, if this happens, the film festival will be ruined.

Let’s not talk about whether Director Wan performed exceptionally well in this movie, but whether he can still show such acting skills next time.

Besides, there are interests behind awards. As long as the acting skills don't differ too much, the comparison is all about interests. "
