Chapter 615 Use his spear to attack his shield

After the 90-minute movie ended, Zhou Xia and Tangtang left the theater. Zhou Xia was thoughtful and depressed.

It's not that the quality of the film "Ring the City Expressway" is better than "Starting Line", but that after watching this movie carefully again, he finally understands why this movie won the award.

Even for an innovative documentary, that wasn't enough to earn the film the Golden Lion, Venice's top award.

Among the outstanding works of the Golden Lion Awards in the past, "Ring City Expressway" does not have a place at all!
But this film shows a corner of the real society of Italian life through a humorous and humane depiction of the lives of people living around the Roman ring road, which will greatly affect the chairman of the jury this time. The famous Italian director Bernardo Cordo Bertolucci's judging criteria.

In short, although this is an international film festival, it is officially organized by Italy after all, and the chairman of the jury is an Italian director, so the award should be awarded to a director from his own country who pursues truth and exploration. Not surprising.

"Yiyi, what are you thinking? This movie is so boring. I almost fell asleep after watching it." Seeing that Zhou Xia didn't speak after coming out, Tangtang couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel that the structure of this movie is a bit clever, and I'm thinking about some problems." Zhou Xia responded casually.

"Then it's still early, should we watch "Gravity"?" Tangtang happily suggested, she was still very interested in this movie.

"If you want to see it, let the assistant accompany you to see it. I have something to discuss with other staff members." Zhou Xia thought for a while and said.

Since it is difficult to compete for the Golden Lion Award with the movie "Ring City Expressway" this time, it is better to concentrate on competing for the Silver Lion Award and the Actor Award. In this way, it will actually be more beneficial to Xiahua Film and Television and Tangtang Big.

There is not much difference between the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Lion Award for Zhou Xia, but if there is an award for Best Actress, the impact of becoming a Venice actress on Tangtang may be a matter of a lifetime.

If she wins the award this time, she may be more confident to concentrate on acting and give up some other pursuits.

Moreover, some people in the country have always believed that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round. With the Venice Best Actress award next to him, Tang may have an advantage in other domestic awards in the future.

"Okay then, go get busy." Tangtang heard the meaning of Zhou Xia's words, nodded, and soon she called her assistant Ding Dang over, and then the two went to watch "Gravity" in other theaters.

And Zhou Xia contacted the senior management of the company with his assistant, and went back to the hotel to discuss the public relations of the movie.

As the CEO of Xiahua Film and Television, Zhang Zhao naturally followed him this time. After all, Xiahua Film and Television has no shortage of popular directors, and the company even lacks award-winning directors and works.

After signing with Lao Mouzi, the money situation has improved slightly, but he won the award before, and it has nothing to do with Xia Hua, so now Xia Hua is very supportive of some directors' low-cost literary films, which is the reason .

"Boss, what do you mean, should we give up the Golden Lion and focus on the Silver Lion and Best Actress?" Zhang Zhao is still a little puzzled. How can I say that the highest Golden Lion is more influential, not to mention that he just watched There is still a big gap between the movie "Looping Expressway" and "Starting Line".

If the former score is 7 points, then "Starting Line" can reach at least 8.5 points.

"Well, that's how I think about it. Let's settle for the next best thing, and maybe get more. Besides, we also have to consider the preferences of the organizers. It's impossible to give the highest award to foreign films every year."

"Boss, I don't think that's the case. I don't know the level of the other shortlisted films this time, but according to what you said, because of its innovative structure, "Ring City Highway" is a work of an Italian director, and it is very likely to win the Golden Globe." Lion Award, then I think our "Starting Line" is more likely to win.

I believe that the professional vision of all the judges will not make our film dusty.Even if the chairman of the judging committee considers the issue of balance and chooses the movie "Ring City Expressway" for an award, it may be other awards.In terms of the standard of the film as a whole, "Starting Line" is no worse than "Round the City Expressway" in any aspect, and the overall level is even higher. This is definitely something that the jury cannot ignore.

If you are worried about cultural factors and foreign judges cannot appreciate "Starting Line", how about we wait for the film to be screened in the next few days and see the evaluation of foreign audiences before making a judgment? "

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, but he was firm in his own mind, and analyzed it with Zhou Xia very seriously.

"Well, since you insist on this, let's see the situation first." Zhou Xia knew that he had added many personal factors to this matter because of Tangtang, so his judgment was not objective.

"Thank you, boss. I will do a serious movie viewing survey." Zhang Zhao was very happy that Zhou Xia chose to listen to his opinion.

The two talked about some more things, Zhang Zhao left first, Zhou Xia stayed in the room for a while, and had nothing to do, thinking of preparing the script for the next play later in the evening, he simply went to the bar on the third floor to eat and drink thing.

Just as Zhou Xia finished ordering and was waiting in the corner, she saw a familiar and sexy figure walking in from the entrance, and everyone in the bar was attracted to it almost at the same time.

In addition to her looks, the widow's figure is also needless to say, coupled with her fame, men will inevitably be attracted when they see it. Zhou Xia glanced at it and didn't look any further. The diamond ring on her hand is very dazzling, obviously she is engaged.

Although the widowed sister has a rich love history, all of them are whimsical. Cohabitation, breakup, engagement, and divorce are also very common things. If I remember correctly, the widowed sister’s marriage with the agent lasted for several years and gave birth to a daughter. , but finally divorced...

At this time, the waiter had already served a steak and poured the red wine. Zhou Xia didn't think about anything else, and started to feast on it.

"Are you Zhou? Can I sit here?" Zhou Xia was lowering his head and focused on eating with gusto when a pleasant voice sounded. He looked up and saw Scarlett came to the side with a glass of cocktail.

"Yes, I'm Zhou Xia, Miss Scarlett, please sit down." Zhou Xia stood up politely and said, after the other party sat down, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and stopped eating.

He also saw that the other party rejected several men in front of the bar just now, but he didn't expect to find him on his own initiative.

"Thank you." Scarlett sat down elegantly, saw Zhou Xia's actions, smiled and said: "Zhou, since you know me, why didn't you come to say hello to me when I was at the bar just now?"

"Oh, if the ring on Miss Scarlett's hand wasn't on her ring finger, I might have passed by long ago." Zhou Xia glanced at the big diamond ring and said politely.

"So Zhou you only take the initiative to meet famous women?" After Scarlett took a sip of wine, her sexy red lips became more delicate, and she looked at Zhou Xia meaningfully.

Zhou Xia knew there was a trap in this sentence, and smiled slightly at the moment: "Of course not all of them, but for a beautiful and outstanding woman like Miss Scarlett, I'm afraid I can't help but have other thoughts. so awkward?"

"Hehe, Zhou, you are indeed a typical oriental man. You always think more before doing things..." Scarlett shook her head slightly, looking away from Zhou Xia's handsome face, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes.

This sentence is obviously satirizing Zhou Xia, even Easterners are timid and cautious...

Not to mention Scarlett, the whole of Hollywood, or most people in Western society will have this view, and it is indeed related to the character of many Easterners who make plans and then move.

Although he didn't know why the other party took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him and said such provocative words, Zhou Xia was still very angry.

He raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Scarlett, the more one knows, the more one will be in awe, the younger and more innocent one is, the less things one thinks about, I hope that Miss Scarlett will This marriage won't be the same as the last time, and it's finally found that it's not suitable..."

"Zhou, what do you mean!" Scarlett didn't expect her sarcasm to attract such an obvious sarcasm from Zhou Xia, and couldn't help but be very angry.

She had been divorced once at a young age, and this time she was engaged. It was quite rude for the other party to say such a thing.

"It's nothing, Ms. Scarlett, what I mean is very simple. This is the result of thinking too much and too little before doing things..." Zhou Xia replied with a smile on his lips.

This should be attacking the other's shield with the other's spear.
