The movie lasted for two hours and five minutes. When the movie ended, Yan Si and Xie Zhi, who were sitting in the middle, also walked out in the middle time.

When Yan Xiezhi walked out of the movie theater, the sun had just set and the Lido was just lit up. A group of people who hadn’t left after watching the movie stood outside the movie palace, drinking water or exchanging thoughts.

Among them, a group of blond girls were wearing suspenders and shorts, drinking water while discussing where to go next; one of them was wearing sunglasses, drinking water and accidentally glanced at the steps of the movie palace, and saw Yan who was coming down. Xie Zhi.

"Hey." The girl poked the mouth of the water bottle at her companion next to her, and pointed to Yan Si, "Look at that one, is that the boy on the screen just now?"

"It's him!" The girl's companion immediately recognized him, "Wow, he looks more handsome in modern clothes!"

The exchange between the two was overheard by the girls who were traveling with them. Everyone looked at Xie Zhiyan Si, and then skillfully took out a small notebook and pen from the bag, and walked quickly to Yan Si.

"Hello!" The girl who discovered Yan Si enthusiastically stopped the two of them at first, and held up her notebook in front of Yan Si, "Can you give me an autograph?"

"Of course." Yan Si took the notebook and asked in fluent English, "Signed in Chinese?"

"As you like."

Yan Si nodded, flamboyantly drew a name on the notebook, and handed the notebook back to the foreign girl.

The girl took the notebook, flipped it to the front, glanced at Yan Si's signature that looked like a painting, raised the notebook with a smile, and asked, "How do you pronounce this name?"

"Yan Si."

"Smoke style." The foreign girl repeated it seriously, turned to Xie Zhi with the notebook, looked at Xie Zhi seriously, a little uncertain, "So what about him—did this handsome guy appear in the movie just now? I don't know much about it." Remember."

Yan Si was autographing another person, brushed it a few times, and passed the notebook over, before taking the next person's notebook, he first pulled Xie Zhi over.

Yan Si: "He didn't appear in the movie."

The foreign girl turned her eyes to Yan Si's hand on Xie Zhi's shoulder.

"But he is my lover." Yan Si smiled.

spouse? !

Xie Zhi turned to Yan Si in shock.

Although the relationship between the two of them should be obvious to anyone with eyes, even though this girl doesn't know them in a foreign country, she just made the relationship clear like this-

It doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Pick it up and pick it up.

Xie Zhi withdrew his gaze and settled down.

"It needs to be kept secret for the time being." Yan Si added with a smile, stretched out his index finger, pressed lightly on Xie Zhi's lips, and dubbed "shh" by himself.

The foreign girl nodded immediately, and showed Yan Si a cross on her chest: "I will keep it a secret, I swear in the name of God."

Yan Si signed the name of the last person in their group, and nodded with a smile.

The foreign girl stuffed the cross back into her sling, and before leaving, she looked back at Yan Si and Xie Zhi, thought for a while, and ran back again.

"Bless you." The girl didn't speak for "secrecy", but wrote on the paper, "You are a very good couple."

"Thank you." Yan Si said in Italian.

After the pair of foreign girls left, some people who had just watched the movie, or some people who came from afar from China asked Yan Si to sign.

Yan Si had to sign hundreds of people at least before he finally signed. The sky turned from black to black just now, and a big clock on the street corner showed that it was seven o'clock.

Xie Zhi and Yan Si were also planning to watch a movie in the main competition at [-] p.m., so they randomly found a steak restaurant next to the movie palace and went in for dinner.

There were just two unreserved tables left in the steakhouse. The waiter tidied up and invited Xie Zhi and Yan Si to the corner seats. The waiter brought the menu and put it in front of Xie Zhi.

When the menu fell in front of Xie Zhi, there was a solid muffled sound. At this moment, there was a bell at the door—someone came in.

One minute later, Xie Zhi raised his head to order food with the waiter, just in time to see a customer sitting at the table next to them. The customer was wearing glasses, with a strong figure and a beard.

... a little familiar.

"Sir." The waiter walked towards Xie Zhi, inadvertently covering Xie Zhi's sight, "Have you decided on something?"

"Ah..." Xie Zhi quickly looked at the menu, "A black pepper spaghetti."

"Okay." The waiter recorded, "How about you?"

Yan Si was also looking at the guests at the table next to him. Hearing this, he closed the menu and smiled: "Well, I'll have an Italian paella."

The waiter recorded the requests of the two people. When taking away the menu, he collided with the waiter who was ordering the table next to him. The two said sorry to each other. Soon, the waiter in charge of Xie Zhi and Yan Si brought the food. up.

"Okay." The customer at the next table said, "I want these."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

The waiter in charge of the table next to him took the menu and left, and the waiter standing next to Xie Zhi also left after serving the pasta.

The sight covered by the apron widened as the waiter left. Xie Zhi accidentally glanced to the side, just in time to see the bearded guest take off his sunglasses and put them on the shirt pocket calmly.

The guest showed his gentle and affectionate blue eyes, and when he noticed Xie Zhi looking at him, he smiled.

Xie Zhi instantly turned his head to look at Yan Si, and Yan Si also saw that friendly and polite smile.

But at the moment neither of them thought about that smile.

"It's him?!" Xie Zhi asked with his mouth.

"Yes." Yan Si nodded.

! ! !It really is him!

Xie Zhi read it right just now, this person is indeed very familiar to him and Yan Si - the person sitting next to them has won two Oscar winners, won three major film festival winners, and is the most outstanding movie actor of this century.

James Louie.

The Venice Film Festival is truly amazing! ! !

The film king, who could only be seen on the TV screen before, was sitting beside him eating. Xie Zhi stirred his plate with a fork, and the pasta, which he thought was extremely delicious just now, suddenly became tasteless.

Yan Si watched Xie Zhi's movements, took out a note paper from a pile of sticky notes on the table, took another pen, twirled it with his fingertips, pressed it on the paper, and pushed it to Xie Zhi together.

"Go to ask him for an autograph?" Yan Si said with a smile, "Shall we also play a guest role as a little fan?"

Xie Zhi: "..."

Xie Zhi felt that a force suddenly pulled him down from the cloud—his heart, which was beating wildly just now because he saw the film king, gradually calmed down and returned to a kind of lonely calm.

Very strong sense of unreality.

Are you and Yan Si going to find another person to ask for an autograph?

Xie Zhi put down his fork, and pushed the paper and pen back together.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to go to the film emperor to ask for an autograph?" Yan Si was puzzled.

"Well, I won't go." Xie Zhi smiled and picked up the fork again, "I don't want the actor's autograph anymore."

"Why suddenly..." Yan Si didn't understand, "Weren't you very excited just now?"

"You just think that I like the new and dislike the old." Xie Zhi smiled, and stuffed a mouthful of pasta into his mouth—the authentic Italian pasta is indeed more delicious than anywhere else in the world.

Xie Zhi finished eating the noodles, wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to the next movie."

When I came to Venice this time, there were three things in total.

The first thing is that Lin Jiu and the others are going to attend that afternoon, the film conference for the whole world.

The second thing is that Lin Jiu led a group of people in his team to communicate with a large group of directors—then Xie Zhi discovered that there seems to be no director or screenwriter in this world that Lin Jiu doesn’t know. , then we will have a drink together tomorrow.

The third thing is the closing ceremony on the last day.

All the film team members who came here for the closing ceremony were invited to participate. Everyone put on the best evening gowns and suits, walked through the red carpet in front of the Venice Film Palace, and went to accept the coronation of the awards together.

Ji Zeyang borrowed Louis Vuitton's ready-to-wear suits for next spring for Yan Si, a complete set of black suits, the back hem is made into a small bifurcation style according to the design concept of a tuxedo, and the open neckline is sparkling with diamonds.

Yan Si combed his hair up, changing the image of an ordinary man who went to the movies a few days ago to be a disheveled and unapproachable male god who shone with dazzling starlight.

Xie Zhi is not the main creative team of the film, but I don’t know why lv also provided him with a set of clothes, but Xie Zhi can’t go to the red carpet, so he can only wait in the movie palace in advance, and wait until Yan Si and the others finish walking the red carpet, and then go together Get in the seat inside.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Xie Zhi was waiting at the entrance of the movie palace. There were also some media inside. Some Chinese media caught Xie Zhi's presence and took a few photos of him. Although the foreign media did not know Xie Zhi, they followed suit and gave He took several pictures.

Xie Zhi smiled at the camera, a little uncomfortable, but he didn't hide.

But soon the media stopped filming Xie Zhi.

Countless celebrities dressed up and walked into the movie palace one after another. Their clothes and temples were beautiful, turning the movie palace into a huge vanity fair.

Xie Zhi saw a few actresses walking past her with Oscars in their hands or other film festival winners. Their high heels were as tall as ten centimeters, and they still walked vigorously.

Soon, Louis, whom Xie Zhi and Yan Si had met during the visit last time, also came in. He was wearing a suit borrowed from Prada today, his beard was shaved and he did not wear sunglasses, and his blue eyes were as gentle as winter spa.

Everyone, even if they don't wear any shiny jewelry, seems to have their own light, and their whole body is shining.

Xie Zhi watched movie stars one after another walk into the doors of the awards ceremony. After watching for more than half an hour, he suddenly heard the Chinese-speaking media people around him exclaim.

"Here we come—" The media person instantly grabbed the camera and aimed at the door.

The next moment, Lin Jiu led the team. Song Ling in cheongsam and Qin Langming in long gown followed Lin Jiu. Two men and two women spread out, Yan Si and Wen Suixin fell on each side, forming a triangle The shape goes inward.

Except for Lin Jiu's smiling face, the rest of the people didn't seem to be participating in a film festival to receive an award, but more like a certain family was preparing to let Tianliang Wang break a certain business.

Xie Zhi didn't have the heart to think about these things.

Xie Zhi's eyes came in from Yan Si, and stayed on him all the time.

Yan Si's suit was tailor-made, and his hair was pushed back to expose his sharp eyebrows. He is a combination of the personality he played in the past, both the gentleness and kindness of the young master, and the desperate desperation of his family after his family was ruined.

The broken diamonds on the chest of Yan Si's suit shone brightly, but the combination of these broken diamonds was not as dazzling as Yan Si himself.

When Yan Si came, there was no one else on the red carpet - everyone else was suppressed by his aura and turned into inconspicuous decorations.

When Yan Si entered the red carpet section of the movie palace, he smiled and raised his hands to wave to the media on both sides, ten seconds to the left and ten seconds to the right, well-trained and extraordinary.

until--

Yan Si saw Xie Zhi standing behind the media.

The freeze frame that was evenly distributed just now became a kind of permanent freeze frame. Yan Si crossed the crowd, looked at Xie Zhi, his raised hand was frozen in the air, and after a few seconds, he waved at him and then smiled.

All the media turned their heads to capture Xie Zhi standing behind them, but no one was able to capture all of Xie Zhi and Yan Si.

Only the media standing at the door and snatching a diagonal line can do it.

Under the camera of that media, Yan Si was photographed waving at Xie Zhi, and the moment Xie Zhi frowned with a smile, he also photographed Yan Si walking towards Xie Zhi after walking off the red carpet, patting him on the shoulder, and standing side by side with him moment.

"Let's go." The mobile phone of the media closest to Xie Zhi and Yan Si who was broadcasting live caught this segment.

"En." Xie Zhi nodded, walked side by side with Yan Si into the awards hall.

Xie Zhi walked into the awards hall, and after sitting down, he finally understood what it means to be on pins and needles, and what it means to be restless.

In the audience, the only one who had nothing to do with the Venice Film Festival could get in. To be honest, Xie Zhi was the only one.

"Lin...Uncle Lin..." Sitting next to Xie Zhi was Lin Jiu, who was the highest-status, and he couldn't help but apply, "I think I'd better go out...what am I sitting here for?"

"Count it as commercial value." Lin Jiu said casually, "LV borrowed your couple's costume, didn't it?"

Xie Zhi: "...Huh?"

Lin Jiu: "Ahahaha, just kidding - it's okay, I let you sit and you sit, I submitted the file and applied for your seat, why didn't you sit?"

...Because the name is not right and the words are not right.

But director Lin Jiu has said so, and he is still coy, which is really hypocritical.

Xie Zhi bit the bullet and sat down, looking nervously at the seat in front of him. Gradually, more and more moviegoers came from the red carpet, and the whole hall was filled with more than half of them, and it was very lively.

The more people there were, the more nervous Xie Zhi became.

Sitting next to him, Lin Jiu felt the trembling of the chair connected to him become more and more obvious.

Everyone here is either an old-fashioned fritter or an acting school. Suddenly, you will be so nervous when you meet someone. Lin Jiu is very fresh. He turned to look at Xie Zhi and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"Yes... a little..." Xie Zhi said frankly.

"Why are you nervous?" Lin Jiu smiled, "Anyway, it's impossible for Yan Si to win the prize this time."

Xie Zhi: "..."

Is there such a persuasion? ?

Yan Si was really shot while sitting, but he was very calm, following Lin Jiu's words, he persuaded Xie Zhi: "Yes, I can't win the prize anyway."

Xie Zhi turned his head and glanced at Yan Si, his expression became even more speechless.

Lin Jiu laughed loudly, patted Xie Zhi Maotou, and said, "You should calm down. Think about how uncle was still a stunned young man when he was fighting in Cannes, but he didn't panic at all."

"Cut..." Wen Suixin cut his voice, then thought of something, and was about to stop, but it was too late.

"What do you mean by cut?" Lin Jiu didn't let him have enough time, and instantly aimed at Wen Suixin, "Let's not say cut off, do some people think they can get back the best screenwriter today?"

"No." Wen Suixin said bluntly, "The screenwriter award won't be mine. There are two films I'm optimistic about that will surpass me. Don't worry."

Xie Zhi: "..."

This, I don't know who to worry about.

However, the two uncles chatted with each other, and the tension just now really disappeared. When Xie Zhi's mind returned to calm, the lights of the entire movie palace were slowly turned off.

In the end, only the lights on the stage remained.

The hostess with a high ponytail was sent out by the elevator, holding a microphone, and opened the awards ceremony of the night; animation special effects with a sci-fi feel fluttered behind the hostess, but apart from this special effect, the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony called calm.

Maybe it's because artists are used to hearing thunder in silent places and don't like fuss.

The first to be announced are Best Newcomer and Best Screenplay.

As expected, the best screenwriter this year did not belong to Wen Suixin, but was awarded to a French female screenwriter. This year, her award-winning film is about women.

Then the best actor was announced—Louis once again won the best actor, and he was very generous when he gave a speech on stage, showing a kind of indifference that had been battle-tested.

And then Best Actress.

The hostess invited a veteran filmmaker to announce the best actress, and the diminutive filmmaker walked to the podium and took out a note from his pocket.

"Then I announce." The filmmaker said, "The best actress at this year's Venice Film Festival is—"

The audience could hear the needle drop, and everyone held their breath watching the speaker on the stage.

"From China." The filmmaker said slowly, "Ling Song."

The field controller instantly turned on the lights in Song Ling's row, and at the same time, the crane also tracked and took a bird's-eye view of Song Ling.

Song Ling, who was sitting in the seat, had a surprised expression at first, but in an instant, it changed into a reserved and oriental gentle smile.

Song Ling gave Qin Langming a hug beside her, then stood up again, hugged the people around her one by one, and when she walked in front of Xie Zhi, she opened her hands to him.

"Sister Song Ling." Xie Zhi hugged Song Ling tightly, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you brother!" Song Ling whispered in Xie Zhi's ear, "Thank you for bringing me good luck."

Song Ling let go of Xie Zhi, grabbed Yan Si and hugged her, straightened her cheongsam, stepped on her high heels, her back was straight, and she walked steadily to the stands.

The award presenter holding the trophy awarded the trophy for Best Actress to Song Ling. Song Ling took the trophy, raised it high, and calmly walked to the edge of the podium where she was announced as the actress just now, dragged the microphone, pointed it at her lips, He spoke in very fluent English: "Thank you very much. The organizing committee awarded this trophy to me. Now, please let me express my most sincere respect to you in my native language."

"Thank you." Song Ling said in Chinese.

In the end, Song Ling insisted on using both Chinese and English. After she finished her acceptance speech, the high-definition camera could capture the tears in Song Ling's eyes, but she never let them flow out.

Throughout the film festival, this film did not win any other awards, but it was enough.

After the award ceremony, the crew that won the award will theoretically be interviewed by the media.

Yan Si and Xie Zhi got ready and greeted Uncle Lin Jiu and the others. The moment they walked out of the awards ceremony hall, they put oil on the soles of their feet and performed a performance of disappearing in front of the media.

The two walked out through the back door of the movie palace.

Xie Zhi and Yan Si hailed two cars, walked to the beach in Lido, took off their shoes, held them in their hands, pulled up their pants, and walked on the beach.

At this time, all the media and people who wanted to see the stars gathered near the movie palace, that place sucked the excitement of the entire Lido, and other places became very quiet, only the sound of the tide hitting the beach could be heard.

"Why did you leave?"

"Why didn't you sign it that day?"

Xie Zhi and Yan Si asked questions at the same time, looked at each other at the same time, and laughed again.

"Because I think." Yan Si smiled, took all the shoes in one hand, and went to hold Xie Zhi free, "I don't think I should be there."

Xie Zhi quietly walked side by side with him, without interrupting Yan Si's narration.

"My contribution to this film is not great enough to be interviewed with the actress." Yan Si smiled again and asked again, "Then why don't you sign it?"

Xie Zhi stood still by the sea and looked at Yan Si.

"Don't you know?" Xie Zhi asked.

The waves hit the shore, and the sound of the water was endless.

"There is only one actor in the world that I want to sign."

The gentle sea breeze was blown to the beach by the waves, and the smell of sea water rushed towards Yan Si and Xie Zhi. The sky is fine today, the bright moon illuminates Xie Zhi's cheeks, and his eyes looking at Yan Si are extremely gentle.

"After I let you get the actor, we will accept the interview in a dignified manner."

"And the film king I want to sign, please sign for me again."
