Chapter 613 explained, opening of the film festival

"Okay, that's what you said!" Tangtang came back to her senses, she didn't continue to think about what happened just now, she decided to go back and test the tone of other people to see if her guess was right.

After the two came to Tangtang's room, Tangtang had already hung up the dresses in the suitcase that had been checked in in advance, and opened the closet, and Zhou Xia saw three exquisite and luxurious evening dresses at a glance.

A red sexy high-waisted evening dress with slits, a dark green elegant classic cheongsam embroidered with peonies, and an ink-colored haute couture dress that looks like Hanfu, with three seal characters embroidered on it
"Chinese style!" Zhou Xia carefully discerned the three characters and could not help being a little surprised. She said expectantly: "Tangtang, let me see if you put it on."

"Farewell, this is what I plan to pass on at the closing ceremony. What if you break it?" Tangtang still didn't believe Zhou Xia's promise.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness, I'll just see how well this dress is designed and whether it really suits you." Zhou Xia said a little speechlessly, obviously he didn't have much credibility in Tangtang's eyes.

"Alright then, remember what you said." Tangtang urged again, took out her evening dress, and glanced at Zhou Xia: "Why don't you avoid it?"

"Tch, you are an old couple and you still avoid it, besides, can you wear the dress by yourself?" Zhou Xia said angrily.

"Okay, then I'll enjoy the services of the big boss, you are now a billionaire." Tangtang thought about it, teased Zhou Xia, handed him the dress, and took off the outer clothes .

After helping Tangtang put on the dress, Zhou Xia realized that it was not Hanfu, to be precise, it was an improved version, not so complicated and not too wide, more similar to the current floor-length skirt.

The entire ink-colored gown is a little bit borrowed from the Qufu gown of the Han Dynasty, and there are extremely delicate and small embroidery of dragon and phoenix patterns on it, which looks very textured, revealing a kind of nobility and delicacy.

"How about it, isn't it low-key yet noble, and the inner and outer are harmoniously integrated?" Seeing Zhou Xia's admiring eyes, Tangtang couldn't help asking Zhou Xia what the designer said.

"Well, yes, this is much better than those dragon robes, phoenix robes, etc." Zhou Xia nodded, he still prefers low-key and restrained things.

Tangtang felt much better when she heard this, and changed the other two dresses for Zhou Xia to see.

Zhou Xia admired enough, and did not make illegal promises, do any vulgar actions, and destroy Tangtang's carefully prepared dress.

Silent all night.

Zhou Xia woke up the next morning, and Tangtang and his assistants did not have breakfast in the room. They went to the restaurant on the third floor to order a meal. They were about to have a leisurely meal and discussed where they would go later, but they saw a The oriental face is director Jiang Wen.

The film festival only opened at night, so it was still early. Zhou Xia understood that Jiang Wen was a judge, so he came so early.

When we were in China, we had to avoid suspicion. Some media interviewed Zhou Xia and deliberately used Zhou Xia and Jiang Wen's past events to explain things, but Zhou Xia didn't respond.

It is really rare to see each other in a foreign country now.

Although there was a small argument before, Jiang Wen nodded to Zhou Xia from a distance, and sat down at another table.

Zhou Xia thought for a while, and told Tangtang and the others to eat, while she walked over early with the simple but nutritious breakfast he ordered.

"Morning, Director Jiang." Zhou Xia was not polite, and sat down opposite the other party.

"Morning, I didn't expect you to come so early, and the awards will be several days away." Jiang Wen was a little surprised. Generally, when participating in film festivals, there will be detailed arrangements, and I won't stay longer, otherwise it would be embarrassing not to win an award ?
In general, the main creators will only arrive on the day when the movie is screened, or some will arrive directly at the awards ceremony.

Even if such a haul does not win an award, it will be enough to promote the movie by walking the red carpet and being interviewed, and there will be no embarrassment of not winning an award.

As far as he knew, "Starting Line" would not be screened today, and would be screened at the film festival the day after tomorrow. Zhou Xia and others logically said that it would be the most appropriate arrangement to come to the film festival the day after tomorrow and then attend the screening.

If you really don't have confidence, then it's okay to come again at the final awards ceremony, it's indeed too early to come now.

"Well, there's no other way. The film festival officially invited us to the opening ceremony, so we had to come early." Zhou Xia understood the other party's doubts and explained.

In addition to Xia Hua's film and television public relations reasons, the main reason is that the film festival values ​​his reputation and influence in China, even Asia, and the world, so he was invited to the opening ceremony. This official tendency is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xiamo is confident that he can win the award. one.

Of course, he can't guess what award he will win. Based on the information he has, there are actually no masters or potential new directors at this year's film festival.

The Italian documentary "Rome Ring Expressway" won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film, Bay Bay director Cai Mingliang won the jury award for "Outing", and the Greek film "Miss Violence" won the Best Director Award and Best Actor Award. Italian drama actress Elena Corta won the Best Actress Award for her debut in the film "The Flowers of Palermo".

These are the last few winners of the 20 films in the space-time main competition unit. These films Zhou Xia knows well, and they are all very distinctive works, but in the eyes of ordinary audiences, they are not very outstanding.

Zhou Xia thinks that his "Starting Line" is enough to surpass these films, but in order to pursue the plot and story, he has reservations about innovation and has not adopted some bold and non-mainstream shooting techniques. Made some attempts and innovations.

"Well, it seems that the government is very optimistic about your film. This is your first literary film, and I am also looking forward to it." Jiang Wen's eyes flickered when he heard Zhou Xia's words.

"Director Jiang is being polite, please support me a lot!" Zhou Xia said politely following the other party's words.

At present, the 20 films in the main competition unit have not yet selected the finalists and the nominations for each award. In the next few days, after the judges have watched the films and synthesized their opinions, they will select the nominations for these awards, and then This is the final award.

As a well-known director in the discourse film circle, Jiang Wen, as a judge, is actually responsible for recommending Chinese-language films, but in this case, it depends on the situation.

If there is no conflict with Zhou Xia, then as a senior, Jiang Wen will definitely do this. Now that there is a previous misunderstanding, Zhou Xia himself is not sure.

"Don't worry, little brother, as long as your movie is okay, I will naturally help." Jiang Wen saw Zhou Xia's worry and said very honestly.

In fact, Zhou Xia overlooked the fact that if his movie is really good, if Jiang Wen doesn't help, then someone will definitely blame Zhou Xia's previous friction, which will actually damage Jiang Wen's reputation. unfavorable.

"Then thank you, Brother Wen." Seeing that the other party changed his address, Zhou Xia simply said casually: "I heard that Brother Wen will start shooting a new movie after returning from participating in the awards."

"Yes, "One Step Away", I wanted to ask you to play a role, but I was afraid that you would refuse, so I invited King Kaikai from your company to replace it." Jiang Wen looked at Zhou Xia and smiled, not shying away from the two of them at all. Little friction before.

"Hehe, Brother Wen was joking. At that time, the main reason was that the schedule was too busy. One of your producers later talked about hype. I was young and energetic, so I just replied a few words."

Zhou Xia didn't shy away from saying that there was something wrong between men, but it wasn't a big deal. After talking about it, it was nothing at all.

At least since the other party asked King Kaikai to play the role of Wu Qi in the coat of arms this time, it shows that the other party also wants to untie this knot.

"Hehe, then this matter is over. At that time, it was all for the promotion of the movie. I also said a few words casually. Don't take offense, brother." Jiang Wen said, raising the milk glass boldly.

"Brother Wen is right, this matter is over." Zhou Xia understood, and also raised his glass, and the two touched each other.

We ate and chatted about movies with Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen was a judge and there were many other things, so he left soon after dinner.

Zhou Xia, Tangtang and others visited Lido Island in the morning, ate local delicacies, and returned to the hotel in the afternoon. The official staff of the film festival invited him to have an interview with the chairman. Soon the film festival will open in the evening up.
