Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 463 Venice Film Festival
"Hello!" Yu Dongqing shook hands proactively.

Soon some reporters discovered the situation here and began to take pictures.

"This is your friend?" Bastian glanced at Cheng Cong who was standing next to Yu Dongqing.

"Yes, one piece."

Bastian smiled but said nothing, and chatted happily with Yu Dongqing.

He was originally a senior director in France, so what he was talking about was naturally about movies.

Bastian appreciates Yu Dongqing's shooting method very much: a lot of shooting methods using handheld photography are widely used.

"The short film "Leave Me" you shot was all shot with cameras. "The Tuner" and this "Chinese Style Youth" also had a lot of hand-held photography, which created a tense and exciting atmosphere. I like this very much. The way it was shot."

"Thank you, this kind of perspective from the lens language has established a tone of near disorder for the film as a whole. The shaking of the camera implies a state of disorder in all relationships in the whole movie."

The two had a lively discussion about the filming method of the film.

Originally, Cheng Cong planned to leave, but when he saw that some reporters had already started taking pictures of the two, he immediately changed his mind and stood aside with a smile on his face, listening carefully.

The two met by chance and chatted for a few minutes. After chatting for a few minutes, Bastian said: "Mr. Yu, I sincerely wish you success in this film festival, and I also hope that your next film can participate in our main competition." unit competition."

"thanks, thanks."

After chatting with Bastian, Yu Dongqing was about to enter the main venue to attend the premiere, when Cheng Cong said in a low voice, "Thank you, Director Yu."

"You're welcome." Yu Dongqing said something, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and said to Cheng Cong, "Although you can't enter the main venue, there are still many participating films in the film festival, so let's watch them here look."

"Yes, yes, I will." Cheng Cong hurriedly agreed.

Yu Dongqing nodded, turned around and entered the movie palace.

The long film festival begins.

The Venice Film Festival usually lasts for about two weeks, and the participating films are screened in three cinemas on the island every day. This year, two outdoor open-air screening venues were specially built in the Biennale Garden and the ice rink on Lido Island.

All movie theaters need to buy tickets for admission. I heard that there are discounts for youths under 26 and seniors over 60 years old.

Of course, it is not necessary for Yu Dongqing. He has an official invitation letter from the organizing committee and can watch any movie for free.

Compared with the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival is small and exquisite.

It does not have joint screenings of many commercial cinemas, nor does it have a complicated rail transit network, only the blue sea surrounding the island and 74 years of precious light and shadow history.

There are only a handful of screening halls on Lido Island to undertake the screening tasks of the entire film festival.

Each theater has its own unique style, among which the Sala Giardino auditorium that most attracted Yu Dongqing's attention was the Sala Giardino, which appeared in a bright red shape.Its large area of ​​bright red color forms a sharp contrast with the blue sky, and at the same time, it is different from the solemnity and elegance of the white movie palace, making it extraordinarily lively and attractive.

Unlike the Cannes Film Festival, the commercial atmosphere here is not strong, and there are not many investors who come to trade films, that is, they mainly come to watch movies or enjoy the wonderful scenery of Venice.

Yu Dongqing set off from the hotel every morning and came to the island by ferry, sometimes accompanied by Nick, Elena and her groom flew to the United States for vacation, sometimes alone.

If you are interested in a certain movie, you can watch it, but most of the time you spend walking on the beach watching the blue sea and blue sky, or going to the city to take a boat to visit various historical sites.

The days are very leisurely.

Yu Dongqing finished watching a movie today, and just after leaving the theater, she ran into Cheng Cong who she met a few days ago, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, sunglasses, and a cool outfit.

Seeing Yu Dongqing, she quickly took off her sunglasses and smiled, "Director Yu!"

"Hello." Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Director Yu, thank you for taking care of me that day. Shall I treat you to dinner? There is a Korean restaurant on the island, and the taste is not bad." Cheng Cong issued an invitation.

Yu Dongqing originally wanted to decline politely, but he has been eating western food for the past few days so much that he feels sick. Hearing that there is a restaurant opened by a Korean, his heart is moved.

"Ok."

"It's not far from here in the northwest corner of the island. We can ride a bicycle there."

The two each rented a bicycle and arrived at the Korean restaurant in no time.

One serving of bibimbap per person, and another order of fish cake and seaweed soup, cheese rice cake and kimchi, and the two of them ate it.

The taste is not bad.

"Director Yu, I really appreciate you." Cheng Cong started talking about what happened a few days ago, but was stopped by Yu Dongqing.

"You have already said thank you, so you don't have to be polite."

"I really didn't expect you to help me that day." Cheng Cong said in a low voice.

"After all, you are still Mingmei's roommate. Besides, we are all Chinese, right? It's not easy to go out."

Hearing Yu Dongqing say that going out is not easy, Cheng Cong's eyes ached.

She traveled thousands of miles from China to Venice, an unfamiliar place, and only she knew how many difficulties she encountered in the process.

"You, you don't want to laugh at me for rubbing the red carpet, do you?" Cheng Cong said faintly, stirring the spoon with a spoon.

Yu Dongqing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "If you want to walk the red carpet, why don't you go to the Cannes Film Festival? From a commercial point of view, his influence is much greater than that of Venice, and I heard that walking the red carpet there is a clear code." Priced."

"Yes, I have inquired that the price of the opening ceremony or closing ceremony is equivalent to RMB [-], and other events are even lower." Cheng Cong said and raised his head to look at Yu Dongqing:
"But I have no money. This trip to Venice, including round-trip air tickets, meals and accommodation, has already used up my savings, so I can only come to the free red carpet."

Yu Dongqing sighed slightly in her heart, but said nothing.

"Director Yu, maybe you think you are vain and want to be famous, but I can't help it. The entertainment industry is like this. If you are not famous or popular, no one cares about you. I haven't been filmed for more than a year."

Yu Dongqing thought of the scandal she had with Li Shaohua this spring, which actually had a great negative impact on her personally.

Maybe it was because he was in a foreign country, met people he knew and helped her, Cheng Cong talked more.

"I know that people in China call me a mistress and meddle in other people's families, but I really don't have such an idea. I really wanted to read the script that night. To be honest, I was also prepared in my heart. I was worried that he would mess around and want to get money After reading the script, leave as soon as possible, but I didn't expect him to be so despicable and shameless, to put medicine in the water glass!"

When Cheng Cong said this, he seemed very angry, his chest heaved, but seeing Yu Dongqing's face, he was still calm.

Obviously, he is not interested in who is right in this matter.

After eating, the two left separately, and Yu Dongqing went straight back to the downtown hotel to rest.

The chance encounter with Cheng Cong and his help were just a little effort for him, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

But it had an unexpected effect on Cheng Cong.
