Chapter 755 Birds and Cicadas
"Yes, you can write some songs like "Wanjiang" in those two years!" The station manager was reminded by the old director and looked at Zhang Yang as if he suddenly realized it.

Zhang Yang felt that their requirements were really high.

"When the director said this, I didn't dare to write anymore." Zhang Yang joked that it was hard to find a song better than "Wanjiang".

"By the way, I heard that you won't have a show at next year's party. Everyone is looking forward to your show."

"If you keep showing off, you will definitely face the day when you will be disliked by everyone. No one is immune to this." Zhang Yang was very open-minded.

The three of them all nodded after hearing this. What Zhang Yang said made sense. The example of the King of Sketch was right in front of them.

"But since the director has already spoken, I will think of another song." Zhang Yang suddenly took another turn.

The three of them laughed after hearing Zhang Yang's words. Zhang Yang's statement was considered a sign of goodwill.

The station director had many positions before. He was the deputy bureau of the general bureau, the deputy planner, and the group planner of the central government. The director of the station focused on the central government.

But after this transfer, his focus will definitely change and he will need to look further. In the future, he will have more opportunities to deal with Zhang Yang.

Him coming over in advance to get to know Zhang Yang was a gesture, and Zhang Yang naturally had to respond.

Is a party program important? It doesn't matter at all, what matters is Zhang Yang's attitude.

After Zhang Yang said this, everyone communicated more smoothly.

The most important thing to take care of at this time was the director's mood. A few people spent more than half an hour chatting while eating, and everyone left early, even though today was Saturday.

It was only half past eight when Zhang Yang returned home. The aunt in the hall nodded and said goodbye when she saw him coming back, but the little guy Zhang Hongyi was still sleeping on the sofa.

When he returned to the bedroom after washing, Zhang Hongyi also came to the bedroom.

Zhang Yang looked at his son and laughed.

Although Zhang Hongyi still slept in the same room with Liu's mother after he was two years old, they already slept in separate beds.

Now he is still not used to having him sleep alone in the room, so he has been sleeping in Zhang Yang's bedroom for the past few days.

Zhang Yang specially moved a child's bed to the bedroom for this purpose.

"You're only so brave, you don't dare to sleep alone." Zhang Yang joked to his son.

Zhang Hongyi ignored his words and ran directly to him. Zhang Yang bent down and picked him up. Looking at his son's handsome appearance, he smiled and said, "When did you wake up?"

Although Zhang Yang didn't drink much today, he still drank a lot. The smell of alcohol inevitably affected Zhang Hongyi when he spoke, and his face wrinkled up unconsciously when he smelled the alcohol.

Zhang Yang suddenly woke up when he saw his little expression, and put him directly on his little bed: "Sleep."

"I can't sleep." Zhang Hongyi said in a milky voice.

"When I turn off the lights, you will be able to fall asleep." After Zhang Yang said that, he went to bed and went straight to sleep.

Zhang Hongyi was a little unhappy that he didn't hear the bedtime story, but this was his big devil father, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

The next day, Zhang Yang was at home thinking about what song to prepare for the party this time, but he had no idea at the moment. Fortunately, he didn't feel lonely with Zhang Hongyi by his side.

After dinner on the night of the 5th, Zhang Hongyi calmed down for a while and came to pester Zhang Yang again.

Zhang Yang looked at the little guy and thought for a while: "How about I take you out to play again today."

Children are easy to coax, and Zhang Yang's words made them laugh.

The best thing for Zhang Hongyi now is to take him to the park. About ten minutes later, Zhang Yang carried his son to Beihai Park, with his bodyguard Xiao Zhao following not far behind.

There were a lot of people in the park at night. After arriving at the park, Zhang Yang put his son down and just held one of his hands to prevent him from running away.

After a while, Zhang Hongyi pointed to the sky and shouted to Zhang Yang: "Dad, bird."

Zhang Yang walked slowly in the park, looking at the scenery everywhere. He just hummed after hearing Zhang Hongyi's words.

The little guy saw something he recognized along the way and started chattering to him. If other people's children had been so noisy when he and Liu Yifei were walking in the park, he would have been annoyed to death.

But now that his son spoke like this, Zhang Yang immediately praised him: "My son is so smart."

After being praised by Zhang Yang, Zhang Hongyi became more active in recognizing things. After a while, Zhang Hongyi pointed to a tree and shouted to Zhang Yang: "Dad, I got it."

Other people around who heard Zhang Hongyi's shout looked in the direction of the little guy's finger and saw that there was a cicada there. Then someone praised Zhang Yang: "Your son has really good eyesight."

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Hongyi suddenly saw a cicada in the dark night, and his eyes were really good.

Zhang Yang smiled and said thank you when he heard their compliments, but then he seemed to think of something, so he bent down and picked up his son and said, "Okay, let's go shopping. Let's go home!"

When he got home, Zhang Yang handed his son over to his aunt to give him a bath. After washing himself, he slowly sang out a song he remembered, "Birds and Cicadas." Tomorrow I will hand it over to the guys in the recording studio to work on the soundtrack.

This song doesn't require much singing skills, so it's not a problem for Liu Yifei to sing it.

Time came to the 8th in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Yang was going to Venice. Before going, he had to contact Liu's mother and ask her to come back and take care of the child.

He set off at around 8 a.m. on the 9th and arrived in Venice on the morning of the th local time.

When he arrived at the hotel and checked into the suite, Liu Yifei had already left. Today was the day they judged the awards.

Venice, Palazzo Cinema, Jury Room. During this time, the judges on the jury watched three movies a day, and as of yesterday, they had watched all the movies.

Sam Mendes took the main seat, five female judges sat on one side, and three male judges sat on the other side.

"Everyone, this is really a big year for movies. I hope we can choose an answer that satisfies everyone this time." Mendes spoke to his jury.

Laurie Anderson elegantly said: "Of course, I believe that artists have the same vision."

Laurie is the oldest among the nine judges present, and she is a director who specializes in documentaries. Although she has not won many awards, she deserves everyone's respect.

After her words fell, many people looked at Liu Yifei. This year, Zhang Yang's movie "Joker" scored a high score of 3.8 after its premiere, making it a favorite for the Golden Lion.

Unexpectedly, the mountain is higher than the other. The film "La La Land" got a good score of 3.83, which is a little higher than "Joker".

Forget it, there will be "First Lady" at 3.71 and "Outstanding Citizen" at 3.53.

In addition, there is a black and white film, the four-hour "The Woman Leaving", which many judges particularly liked.

All four films are eligible to compete for the Golden Lion.

Liu Yifei looked at them as if she had not seen them, and took the initiative to say to Mendes: "Mr. Chairman, I think we can start the selection."

As a result, there were big differences in the first award, the Special Jury Award.

Joshua Oppenheimer suggested after the selection began: "I think the film "Bad Love" deserves a special jury award. This kind of love film is particularly interesting."

Joshua is also a documentary director, and he really likes this kind of perverted movie.

Lowry immediately agreed. They are all documentary directors as expected.

Chiara Mastroianni objected: "This movie is cool, cannibalism, cannibalism, and dismemberment, but the story is too weak. You can't give it an award just because of these violent elements!" Qi Yara is a French actress and she cannot appreciate this kind of romance.

"It has good music, too," Laurie retorted.

Gemma Arterton shook her head and objected: "Forgive me, I think its music is the worst, so bad that I wonder if the director has never gone to school."

Gemma is a young British actor, only one year older than Liu Yifei, and this movie does not suit her aesthetic.

"Actually, your suspicion is right. As long as you check it, you will know that she has never gone to school." Lorenzo Vegas shrugged.

He was the winner of the highest award in Venice last year, so he is not polite at all when he complains about others.

Everyone laughed when they heard Luo Zuolun's words. Seeing this, Liu Yifei took the opportunity to suggest: "I think the movie "The Murderer" is worthy of this award. It is absurd, playful, black, crude, ridiculous and sad, but also interesting. And it’s also powerful.”

When she said this, she turned to Luo Zuolun: "You can rest assured that the director of this movie is a professor from Zhang Yang School."

"Hey, isn't it your school too?" Nina Hoss teased Liu Yifei with a smile. This is an unknown actor from Germany.

Almost everyone knows that Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang are in the same school. After all, it has been rumored since the movie "Mulan".

"Maybe the director of our school is more convincing!" Liu Yifei complained to herself.

Everyone else said "Oh" after hearing this, especially a few actresses. Anyway, Liu Yifei has won the Best Actress Award at Cannes and Venice, and now her complaints make everyone find it very interesting.

"The actors in the movie "The Chaser" are all good, but the scenes and characters in the movie are too deliberate.

I think what director Zhang Yang said is very good. The essence of a movie is to tell a story. This movie is unqualified from this perspective.

Its narrative style is similar to the previous year's "Maze of the Heart". Their directors seem to be from the same school, so they won't influence each other! " Giancarlo De Cataldo asked.

He is a native Italian writer and has his own unique perspective when watching movies.

"If it were so perfect, we wouldn't be discussing it in the Special Jury Awards, but in the Best Picture." Liu Yifei defended.

"Crystal, you said it very well. This is just a special jury award. I think there is no problem in giving it to "Bad Love"." Sam finally spoke.

Hearing him speak, several people who had objections made indifferent expressions, "You are the chairman, you are the best." It's not worth arguing with him for such a prize.

The following awards for Best Newcomer, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay are not controversial.

When it came to the Best Director Award, there was another big controversy.

Nina was the first to speak: "I think "War Paradise" is a good movie. The director has fully demonstrated the complexity of human beings by intertwining people, race, and love, especially its unexpected perspective from God's perspective. All living beings.”

Lorenzo directly objected: "This movie has a slight advantage in the theme of World War II. On the contrary, I think "Savage Land" is good and a very imaginative film."

Liu Yifei shook her hands: "I don't see what's good about this movie. What the director wants to express is that only barbarism can break barbarism. I understand it, but I can't agree with his form of expression."

I also think that the movie "War Paradise" is good. It has an unexpected narrative method and finally allows people to see the light of the sanctity of human nature. It is fully worthy of the best director. "

From the perspective of an Easterner, the film "The Savage Land" is too perverted in its presentation. It's normal for Liu Yifei not to appreciate it.

"Crystal, you are still too conservative. The blending of all things is quite interesting from a director's point of view, isn't it?" Laurie said indifferently. Joshua and Gemma nodded in agreement.

Liu Yifei looked at the group of people who were nodding and felt that most of the people who made literary and artistic films were insane. What was so interesting about this kind of thing?
