Chinese Entertainment: Directors Start with the Fairy Sister

Chapter 91 Departure to Venice, the First Appearance of an Artistic Philippine Dress!

Venice town.

Two weeks ago, this seaside town began its carnival holiday.

Tens of thousands of filmmakers and thousands of journalists from dozens of countries around the world, along with hundreds of film crews from various countries, all came to participate in this grand event.

Yang Siwei arrived in Venice early to prepare for the promotional screening of "Painted Skin".

After Zhao Yanxi and Paul arrived at the airport with the trailer, they got into Yang Siwei's car and headed straight to the hotel.

"Boss, Yifei should arrive tonight. I've already contacted a group of film distributors in Southeast Asia. Director Huo and General Manager Yang from Yinghuang have also been a great help this time."

"Um.

""

Zhao Yanxi nodded. As a veteran entertainment company, relying on the glory of the Hong Kong entertainment circle in the past and Yinghuang's popularity in Southeast Asia, let alone the newly established Yanxi Films, even Huayi Brothers is inferior.

However, Huayi is now enjoying great success.

A $7000 million co-production, starring Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan (who is likely to star), has already stirred up the film and television industry in Southeast Asia.

After resting for a while at noon, I've almost recovered.

Having a good constitution means having a good constitution. I can sleep on the plane and not feel any discomfort when I get off the plane and adjust to the time difference.

Zhao Yanxi was also busy in the afternoon.

Although Paul and Yang Siwei contacted guests and film producers, Zhao Yanxi's personal involvement showed more sincerity.

The benefits of attending premieres at the Berlin Film Festival became apparent; there are many world-class filmmakers, but most of them are just a small group of people.

The directors, actors, and producers that Zhao Yanxi met in Berlin are still present at the Venice Film Festival.

If you make a phone call or send a message, people will generally come to support you if the time is right.

A trailer screening can be completed in at most forty or fifty minutes.

In the afternoon, Zhao Yanxi picked up Liu Yifei at the airport.

"Ah, Yanxi, I'm so tired."

Hearing the little girl's sweet voice, Zhao Yanxi couldn't help but chuckle, "Our Qianqian has worked hard—she's been to so many places this week."

"Yes, yes, after I get back from Venice, I'm going to take a good month off!"

"Sure, sure~" Zhao Yanxi said with a smile, "I can finally take a good rest this year."

Liu Xiaoli sat quietly in the passenger seat, glancing at the young couple sitting in the back.

Luckily, I was quick-witted enough to take the passenger seat.

If Zhao Yanxi were to sit in the passenger seat while she and the little girl were in the back, she would probably reach up to the driver's seat and act all cute.

"If I weren't afraid you two would cause a death in a foreign land, I wouldn't be eating this dog food!"

Although her daughter repeatedly assured her that she would never cross the line before reaching the legal marriage age, and that she would not cause any deaths during her years of developing her career.

But... Liu Xiaoli didn't believe the words of lovers at all.

When hormones take over the brain, all wise words and careful promises are just empty talk!

Zhao Yanxi had no idea what kind of lecherous man his future mother-in-law thought of him. He simply held the girl's soft, boneless hand and gently stroked it.

"Take a good rest for a few months. The cast for 'The Forbidden Kingdom' should be officially announced by the end of the year. We'll start martial arts training at the beginning of next year, and things will get really tough then."

"The Forbidden Kingdom was no easy film to make. It has a lot of action sequences, and the opponents are kung fu superstars like Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan, not just the flashy characters in The Return of the Condor Heroes!"

"Hehe, don't worry, my sword is just as effective."

After Liu Yifei arrived, the other main cast members of "Painted Skin," including Jiao Enjun, Yan Danchen, Sun Li, and Zhang Jin, came from Beijing together.

On the morning of the 7th, the crew was busy. Zhao Yanxi, Jiao Enjun, and Zhang Jin, on the other hand, were relaxed, each looking dashing in a well-tailored suit.

The most handsome protagonist, the most handsome Erlang Shen, and the suit-wearing thug—the three of them standing at the door are a beautiful sight to behold!

Zhao Yanxi straightened her cuffs, glanced up and saw Jiao Enjun, who was already dressed, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Jun, with your figure and temperament, you really can't tell you're almost 40 in a suit. No wonder netizens say Chang'e (the Moon Goddess) is blind!"

Jiao Enjun laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Director Zhao, you flatter me. Compared to you, Director Zhao, I am still slightly inferior."

"Hehe, if you were talking about anything else, I'd be modest, but when it comes to looks, I'm actually quite confident!"

As they were talking, the door to the dressing room slowly opened.

The first person to catch the eye is Yan Danchen, whose elegant and dignified appearance is accentuated by a royal blue fishtail gown; Sun Li's champagne gold deep V-neck dress...

Long dresses exude elegance and sophistication.

The two were already radiant, but when Liu Yifei finally stepped out, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze for a moment. She was wearing a royal red strapless satin dress, her cascading black hair was tied up high, revealing her slender and fair swan neck.

The dress's minimalist cut complemented her fair skin perfectly, with only an antique diamond brooch on her chest adding a touch of brilliance.

What's most captivating is the way her eyes sparkle, a perfect blend of girlish purity and fox-like allure.

"Sissi, I wasn't wrong, was I?" Yan Danchen said with a smile, "I knew the director would be stunned..."

"Sister Danchen~" Liu Yifei blushed and glared at Zhao Yanxi coquettishly.

"Haha," Zhao Yanxi said with a laugh, unconcerned, "I'm not the only one who's stunned; Jun-ge, Zhang Jin, and the others are too!"

"Ah...hahaha..."

""

"I'm watching Xia Bing..." Zhang Jin explained dryly.

"Let's go, Siwei messaged me saying there are already quite a few media reporters here!"

Zhao Yanxi waved her hand, and everyone got into the car directly from the hotel entrance and headed straight for the venue.

"Good! What did I just see? An angel?!"

"A beautiful Chinese girl~"

"Did you take any photos?"

At 1:30 local time, at the entrance of the premiere of "Painted Skin".

The red carpet was already surrounded by media reporters and movie fans who had come to see the film.

Zhao Yanxi led the main cast and crew onto the red carpet to welcome the guests.

The first person to arrive was Ci Peikang, a vice chairman of China Film Group, who would later become Han Sanping's successor.

He has always been in charge of some international affairs for China Film Group. This time, including other sections, there are four or five films nominated for the Venice Film Festival, which can be regarded as a grand event for Chinese-language films.

Since Han Sanping was unable to come, Ci Peikang led a Chinese contingent composed of media reporters and film crew members to Venice!

"Boss Thorn, welcome, welcome!"

"Director Zhao, may 'Painted Skin' be a huge box office success!"

"Thank you, please come in," Zhao Yanxi said with a smile, gesturing for Jiao Enjun to lead Ci Peikang inside.

Following that were some of the big-name film crews at this film festival.

.

For example, the crews of dramas such as "The Queen," "Golden Gate," and "Top Secret Privacy" all had their directors or producers personally leading the team to support Zhao Yanxi.

Any director, producer, or celebrity with a modicum of ambition would not overlook Zhao Yanxi, the youngest director to win the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

Moreover, he is a highly influential commercial director in Hollywood, capable of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and creating box office miracles with small budgets, whether it's horror or drama!

The only thing that made Zhao Yanxi a little uncomfortable was the crew of "The Black Dahlia" from America.

The reason is simple: the female lead is Scarlett Janssen, one of the sexiest women in the world.

When Zhao Yanxi gave her a friendly hug, he couldn't help but think that the promise he made to Paul was to sleep with Scarlett.
