acting peak

Chapter 43

To be able to bear the title of "Pearl of the Adriatic Sea", the scenery of Venice is naturally beautiful.Autumn is another sunny season. The organizing committee of the film festival set up the red carpet venue in a lush and colorful open-air garden.

As the opening time approached, journalists gathered outside the yellow line drawn up by the venue.Before the car stopped, Han Guibai saw the dense crowd outside. "I haven't seen this kind of formation for a long time, I'm a little stage fright!" He said with a smile.

The nine members of the jury lived in the same beach resort hotel and took several cars when they set off to the venue.Han Guibai didn't ask Zhong Wei to call the company's car, Madam Kuhn was more than happy to take him for a ride.

Hearing what he said at this time, she smiled and said, "But I believe that if you are really stage fright later, it must be because of the performance."

There was another judge in the limousine, Maureen, an Englishman who is mainly a screenwriter. "That's right," he agreed with Mrs. Kuhn's words very much, "I don't believe that a person who started acting in movies at the age of five would be afraid of such a scene."

"You two can't do this, take turns tearing down my platform!" Han Guibai protested solemnly. "Didn't we agree that we are both judges, so we should strive to seek common ground while reserving differences?"

But it didn't do much, because everyone knew he wasn't serious.

"Oh, dear Han, the "seeking common ground while reserving differences" we mean refers to the films in the main competition, not you." Mrs. Kuhn retorted with a smile, "And then again, among the three of us, you are the only one who attracts everyone. attention!"

Maureen was older than Mrs. Kuhn, so of course he knew that the attention was specifically referring to the potential of young people. "That's right," he agreed with Mrs. Kuhn's opinion again, "From you, everyone can see the future of movies!"

Facing the overly blunt praise of his seniors, Han Guibai, who has always been thick-skinned, expressed that Yalishan is great.Fortunately, all the judges' cars have arrived at this time, and he only needs to express his gratitude politely.When he got out of the car, he got out of the car door first, and waited for Maureen to help Mrs. Kuhn out before closing the door, with a gentlemanly demeanor.

There were clicking sounds all over the scene, and the flashing lights complemented each other for a while, and the red carpet lost its color.

"It's here! The chairman of the jury, Mrs. Kuhn! The screenwriter Maureen! And the actor Han!"

Maureen was wearing a plaid kilt today, paired with a mottled gray beard, which gave him a casual sense of yuppie.Han Guibai was wearing a light gray custom-made suit, making him look younger than his actual age.Mrs. Kuhn wore a low-key and decent mermaid dress with a bright smile on her face. She held Mo Lin in her left arm and Han Guibai in her right hand. She looked like a winner in life.

Such three people are naturally film killers, and the photographer's index finger is sore when he presses the shutter.

After that, stars, crews, and guests from all walks of life also appeared on stage.The red carpet was very lively, and those who had already got off the red carpet were not idle——

Han Guibai wants to act together with the jury, the goal is too big, it is impossible to avoid the all-pervasive reporters.In addition to the gimmick of the youngest judge ever, he is also making an Olympic film, which is quite noticeable.

"Mr. Han, what's the difference between being a judge and acting?"

"Mr. Han, the short film you directed after the sale of the holiday is a feature film, and the feature film you are shooting is also a feature film. Do you still consider accepting scripts with other themes?"

"Mr. Han, your new film will collide with Mr. Duran's new sci-fi film on the statuette. What do you think?"

After all, it was an official international film festival, and the reporters' questions were relatively polite, but not at all tricky.Han Guibai answered one by one, nothing more than that his experience as a judge helped him gain experience, and that he is currently making feature films to help him regain his sense of drama after the long vacation, and he never limits his range of performances.

As for the last question, it was thrown at perfect timing, as famed director Duran happened to be walking down the red carpet with his key cast members, which included Adonis.

"Many excellent films are released every year, and I am honored to have the opportunity to compete with them on the same stage." Han Guibai replied with a smile.Of course he can speak on the spot, and he slips faster than anyone else.

"If we remember correctly, this will be the fourth time you will compete for the Oscar statuette honor with Mr. Adonis Fournier. You have won the previous three times. Do you think you will continue to win this time? "

"But the premise of this question has not been settled yet," Han Guibai continued to smile, "Because "Northern Fish" has two leading actors, and I'm not sure who the academy will nominate as the best leading actor."

As soon as this answer came out, everyone was in an uproar.Isn't the name of this film the name of the character played by Han Guibai?Judging from this, there should be no suspense in the male lead nomination?

The best way to check is undoubtedly to ask the other male lead, but Shen Xianmo's scheduled appearance time is late, and this time has not yet arrived.

Just when the reporters lamented that the timing was wrong, Adonis, who had already seen Han Guibai's direction, squeezed over.After all, the site is an open garden with few obstacles. "I can answer this question for you on Han's behalf," he quickly answered, "Based on the frequency of collisions between me and him, I think he is destined to be nominated!"

If someone else said this, the scene would probably be very embarrassing; but when it came out of the mouth of the person involved, everyone's reaction was full of laughter——

What nonsense are you talking about!

Because everyone knows that Han Guibai and Adonis seem to have a natural conflict in terms of luck.Han Guibai plays the male lead, and Adonis also plays the male lead; Han Guibai plays the male lead, and Adonis also plays the male lead.Crashing on role configuration means crashing on awards.The relationship between the two of them is good in private, so that someone always wants to see one of them embarrassed.Some people couldn't help guessing that it was precisely because he lost to Han Guibai every time that Adonis developed feelings of admiration to admiration for him...

Ah bah bah!

Both Han Guibai and Adonis felt that this reason was too nonsense.So at this time, Han Guibai smiled and replied: "It is for this reason that it is necessary for me to take on a double male lead film. I don't believe it, the [-]/[-] chance will never fall to me!"

Adonis grinned, and hooked Han Guibai's shoulder casually, as a good brother. "If you say that, you always feel that I must love you more, what should I do?"

There was booing all around.It's not good, the Chinese and French film kings have teamed up to abuse dogs, everyone, run away!

On the first day of the film festival, besides walking the red carpet, the highlight is the opening film.Because the judges and the main creative team needed some necessary communication, the seats of Han Guibai and Adonis were very close, and they were both in a certain box on the second floor.As for other stars and reporters invited to watch the film, they will be in the screening hall below.

Before the screening time, people entered the theater one after another, and some people were talking in low voices.Han Guibai sat near the front of the box, talking and laughing with several Chinese and foreign directors.After "Northern Fish", he hasn't set a schedule for a new film yet, so everyone was moved by the news and cast olive branches to him one after another.

Because there is a powerful company behind him, what Han Guibai cares most about is not the funds, publishers or co-actors, but the quality of the script.Therefore, after promising to send the synopsis and clips of the script to Han Guibai, those who were not here left.

Adonis, who was originally talking to other actors in the crew, saw that Han Guibai was free, and immediately moved over. "It's really hard to say a few words to you in public," he complained with a smile, "There's always someone waiting in line!"

"Aren't you the same?" Han Guibai turned back, looking around the downstairs inadvertently, "I heard that your schedule for the last two years is full?"

Adonis sighed heavily, and sat down beside Han Guibai. "Then what can I do? The company on my side is not as easy to talk to as you!"

Han Guibai glanced at the other party with a half-smile.The more popular a movie star is, the more autonomy he has.How can Adonis be considered internationally famous, how can he be so pitiful?

But he didn't want to tear it apart. "How about I introduce you to Yan Shuang's studio? She must be very welcome!"

"Don't!" Adonis immediately raised the white flag. "If I want to change the company, why not open another studio myself!"

"Huh? Do you really have such an idea?" Han Guibai heard a hint of seriousness in the other party's words.

Adonis shrugged and lowered his voice. "Let's see if I can change my career as a director first, and then talk about the company. Otherwise, why do you think I'm working so hard to make money?"

Investment is necessary for transformation, Han Guibai understands very well.

"It's you," Adonis asked again, "you made that short film, do you have any other plans after that?"

Han Guibai thought about it, shaking his head. "I think it's still suitable for me to be an actor."

Yeah?Then how do you deal with the relationship with the boss of your company?Or in other words, it doesn't matter if we don't see each other once in half a year anyway, so don't worry about it?

Adonis wanted to know, but he was not rash, knowing that such words must never be spoken.Not to mention whether it belongs to the category he can manage, the privacy of others is enough. "If you want to change jobs one day, you must tell me," he changed his usual slightly frivolous tone and became serious, "My arms are always open for you, you must know!"

Han Guibai couldn't help laughing. "You say this because you are afraid that the reporters will have no headlines to report?"

"Hey! I'm serious!"

The last two sentences have a tendency to be unnutritive.It just so happened that it was time for the screening, the wall lamps were all turned off, and everyone fell silent.

Adonis had already seen the entire film, but he had other things on his mind. He left the box without a sound after the film opened for five minutes, and sent a short message when he went downstairs.Everyone was watching a movie, and there was no one in the corridor.

When Shen Xianmo came out, he saw Adonis leaning against the wall with his arms folded, expressionless.He walked over, and his leather shoes made a firm sound on the smooth crystal glass floor.

"Coming?" Adonis glanced at Shen Xianmo, still maintaining the old posture. "It's pretty fast!"

Shen Xianmo didn't speak, but there was only one meaning in his eyes: if you have something to say, speak quickly, don't waste time!

Adonis was in no rush. "As for the two of us, we really don't have anything to talk about. So obviously, I just want to talk to you about Dabai."

Shen Xian raised his eyebrows quietly.Although Adonis always confronted him, he didn't read real hostility. "Film and TV complex..." he said slowly, "You posted the tree hole post?"

Adonis clicked his tongue and didn't deny it.It is easy to understand that he lost his horse with Shen Xianmo, the timing is too coincidental; it is also easy to understand that Shen Xianmo lost his horse with him, his tone is too obvious.So Shen Xianmo brought up this matter in an affirmative tone, and he felt that it didn't need an explanation at all.

"Before we get down to business, I still have a few questions I want to ask you." He continued on his own, "Do you like Dabai?"

Shen Xianmo felt that this was a question that did not need to be answered.Isn't that obvious?

Adonis stared at the other person's face, read the word "nonsense" from those dark eyes, and didn't care. "Second question, do you like filming?"

Shen Xianmo narrowed his eyes slightly.Does he like it, has something to do with Adonis?

"I just heard that you didn't graduate from an acting major." Adonis shrugged slightly, "And, based on what I know, Stanford or the London School of Economics and Political Science seem to be more suitable for you to continue your studies."

In fact, Shen Xianmo studied economics at university, a major suitable for wealthy sons to become directors in the future. "It's my freedom to choose what future I want." He said coldly.

Adonis continued to shrug nonchalantly. "That's right, but how long will it last? It's the same as Dabai's side...Since he promised you to try, it means that he definitely doesn't feel nothing. But to what extent does that feeling..." He dragged his voice deliberately, "It's hard to say. Anyway, as long as it's not the last moment, I still have a chance!"

Shen Xianmo frowned.Although this is not pleasing to the ear, it is true.In addition, he felt that there was something else in it, something hidden under the surface demonstration, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"That's all you want to say?" he asked finally.After getting a nod from the other party in reply, he turned his head and left without saying a single extra word.

Adonis watched Shen Xianmo return to the screening room, and suddenly smiled.Shen Xianmo has obviously noticed something, it seems that he has indeed underestimated the other party.However, if he can treat Han Guibai better, he doesn't mind playing the villain for a while.

"I have such a kind heart, I really can't find it with a lantern." He sighed to himself, and went upstairs.Han Guibai didn't have feelings for him, what a great misfortune! "It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded..."
