Chapter 594

Speaking of participating in the film festival, Zhou Xia originally planned to catch up with the Cannes Film Festival after filming the film.

But last year, because I participated in "Zodiac" and many other activities, I was delayed a lot of time, so the filming of this film was delayed until now.

But it's not bad now, and it can catch up with the Venice Film Festival.

Among the three major film festivals in Europe, the Venice Film Festival has the least influence in China, but it is also a category A film festival with its unique tradition and perspective.

The film festival mainly focuses on film experimenters from various countries and encourages them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some defects, as long as they are innovative, they can be accepted by the film festival.

Its purpose is also "films serve serious art", and different slogans are put forward every year, and the judging standard is pure: artistry.

Zhou Xia’s film is not only a pure literary film, but also uses a completely documentary technique in shooting, and the film narrative also adopts the way of cross-narrative and mutual comparison of the growth of two generations.

These all satisfy the Venice Film Festival's preference for art films, and it can be said that they are very compatible.

After Yang Tianzhen left, Zhou Xia dealt with matters in the company for a while, then left after get off work to meet the busy little fox.

The two met last time at the annual meeting. Some time ago, she took a few newcomers from the company to shoot the TV series "Three Lives III". Recently, she is going to participate in the company's new movie and is preparing for it. That's why she stayed at home. Then, studying the script and characters, and hearing that Zhou Xia had 'leaved', of course he summoned him quickly.

…………

In Rose Manor, the little fox was reading the script of "Predecessor Raiders", but he was actually not very satisfied.

But this is the company's play, and Zhou Xia said that he is more optimistic about the director Tian Yusheng, and it's still a series, so she followed it up.

She also hopes to act in an in-depth literary film like Tangtang, but there is no suitable opportunity, and there is no way to achieve her goal of breaking through.

"Yiyi, you're finally here. I'm so boring. What kind of script is this? The quality is average!"

After the little fox opened the door, it hung around Zhou Xia's neck, still acting like a spoiled child.

"The script is okay, I've read it, and I've made some comments." Zhou Xia kissed her on the forehead, and was talking, a little surprised: "Your hairline seems to have gone a little back. "

"Get out, what nonsense!" The little fox pushed Zhou Xia away angrily, as if his tail had been stepped on.

In fact, she is just busy with work, under too much pressure, and often stays up late, and occasionally loses her hair. There is a problem with the hairline!
"You don't believe it, don't wait a few more years to become a joke in the air, but don't blame me for not reminding you." Zhou Xia couldn't help laughing when he thought of something.

"As long as you don't curse me, it's fine. Also, my hair loss is caused by the imbalance between yin and yang. It's all because you don't come to me all the time, which leads to my hormone secretion disorder!"

But the little fox immediately complained about Zhou Xia and said angrily.

"You're exaggerating too much! I've been too busy filming for the past two months, so I didn't find you? You are too. You are filming in Hengdian, so you don't have time to come find me!"

Zhou Xia explained helplessly that in the past two months, for this long-prepared literary film, he has devoted himself to it.

Although he is in the imperial capital, he has never returned to the company. As a director and starring role, he needs to do both well. He has extremely high requirements for the pressure level of this movie, so naturally he will not be distracted by other things.

"Speaking of this, I get angry. Why would you arrange for Tangtang and Yaya to make literary movies, but not me? Is it because I am two years younger than them?"

"Aren't you thinking about it? It's not like you didn't audition for "Dear", and you can blame me for this? Director Xue Xiaolu has worked with you on "BJ Meets Seattle" and knows you so well, why didn't you choose it? You, you chose Yaya, don't you think about it yourself?"

Zhou Xia said angrily, Li Hongqin, the heroine of "Dear", is a rural mother who lost her child but was unwilling to succumb to her fate.

Yaya has acted in "The Ordinary World" and "The Woman of the Swordsman" before, especially the former is also very local. She can choose the roles of these famous works to play, not worrying about her own image, it is indeed in her own There are pursuits in his acting career.

That's how this opportunity fell to her.

In the audition, the members of the director team saw her acting skills and hard work, so they chose her.

As for her exotic appearance, it is not a big problem. Yaya plays the role of a rural woman. After makeup, it can be covered up to a large extent, and it is enough to modify the background introduction of the heroine.

"I thought about it, you asked me to take the company's young actors to shoot these popular dramas all day long, and didn't give me time, how could I choose such a role?
Besides, before I came to Xiahua, didn't I still act in many very literary and pursuing film and television dramas? Isn't it all arranged by you in the past few years, and it's all your fault. You must find a good opportunity to make up for me ! "

The little fox is still messing around with Zhou Xia's theory, pushing all the reasons to Zhou Xia.

"Hehe, whatever you say!"

Zhou Xia didn't want Shi Lezhi to argue with unreasonable women, so he could only give in, but he immediately thought of one thing.

"However, there is really a good literary film, and the company has approved it. Director Diao Yinan, you know, the director of "Love Mala Tang", his book "Fireworks in the Day" is good, you can try it out. This film I think it's good, but actresses have large-scale dramas, and if they are released in China, a lot of them will be deleted."

"You really like it. Tell me what the story of this play is and what the heroine is like." The little fox immediately became interested and asked happily.

"The movie can be regarded as a suspenseful love movie, involving a murder case. The heroine, named Wu Zhizhen, has a glamorous appearance, has the charm of a mature woman, and has a fatal temptation for men..."

"Wow, that sounds good, it seems to be very suitable for me, doesn't it?"

Before Zhou Xia finished speaking, the little fox happily interrupted him, rubbing Zhou Xia's arm with her great pair and said proudly.

"Hehe, why don't you listen to me?" Zhou Xia smiled helplessly, and it was just because it was appropriate that he reminded the little fox to try out the play.

"Come on, director, sit down!" The little fox immediately put on a respectful expression, pulled Zhou Xia to the sofa and sat down, peeled an orange and stuffed it for him.

Zhou Xia ate the orange and continued: "The story is relatively simple. It's actually a love triangle, a story of redemption between three men and women. Because of the heroine's charm, Zhang Zili, a policeman who had a relationship with her, was particularly infatuated with him.

The story begins five years ago. The heroine Wu Zhizhen's husband, Liang Zhijun, was found dead by the police in a bizarre corpse case. At that time, after solving the case, Zhang Zili shot and killed the murderer who was resisting arrest with a gun.

Five years later, a similar series of cases occurred again, and the deceased had been in love with Wu Zhizhen. Zhang Zili, who had been infatuated with the heroine at that time, took the initiative to approach her, but unexpectedly fell in love with this woman like a moth to a flame. .

The two people who suffered major life setbacks gradually changed from sympathy to love each other. With closer contact, Zhang Zili discovered the truth five years ago..."

"Tell me, what's the truth, you're still playing tricks on me, aren't you bored!" The little fox was listening with interest, when Zhou Xia stopped abruptly, she said dissatisfiedly.
