This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 932 His Girl (asking for monthly ticket)

The next day, before the red carpet for the opening ceremony began, the whole of Venice knew that the talented director from China had arrived.

He came with a movie called "Hello! Mr. Tree"!
It premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on September 9.

No one, not even the film festival itself, thought the film would be a flop.

The question is whether to just give him an award and get rid of him, or to just give him the Golden Lion, or the Grand Jury Prize and the Silver Lion for Best Director.

Li An is still the judge on the bamboo mat.

They are all Chinese.

In addition, the film festival director Mark Mueller also has a deep love for China, so Hao Yun's Golden Lion Award is almost a foregone conclusion.

It’s not that everyone cannot accept this kind of internal appointment in a certain sense.

But everyone wants to lose with a sense of conviction.

Therefore, the entire film festival was looking forward to the premiere of "Hello! Mr. Tree", and everyone wanted to see what Hao Yun had come up with this time.

On the red carpet of the premiere, Hao Yun did not walk with Wang Shunliu and the others.

Instead, he took An Xiaoxi's hand and walked together.

An Xiaoxi wore a fresh and sweet lake green floral dress.

The three-dimensional and fluffy flowers create an excellent visual effect.

The tied-up hair looks particularly delicate, and paired with a sparkling diamond necklace and earrings, the flower branch shape spreads out, exuding a romantic luster.

The three-dimensionally cut fishtail dress, with its light and flowing skirt and graceful waistline, outlines her graceful and girlish figure. The hip-hugging fishtail design and the waist-pinching cut make her look swaying and moving while walking. The mint green dress sets off her fair skin, which exudes a slightly lustrous luster.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is as beautiful as Venice.

In order to avoid being criticized for not being worthy of the people around him, Hao Yun dressed up well. Not only did he wear a well-fitting, high-end suit, but he also wore the Rolex watch that An Xiaoxi gave him on his wrist, showing the style of a successful person.

Although they have Asian faces and different aesthetic tastes, their outstanding looks still make audiences from all over the world think of the couple as a perfect match.

An Xiaoxi is actually quite well-known in the international film industry.

Not only because her works have become popular and the overseas copyrights have been bought and promoted, but also because she and Hao Yun seem to be bound together and attend various occasions.

Everyone felt uncomfortable when Hao Yun was not around her.

For example, when she didn't go to the Goya Awards, domestic reporters wrote a big story about their breakup, and overseas media even mentioned it specifically.

Said Hao Yun didn't bring his girl.

The opening ceremony red carpet is relatively simple. You just show up, take some photos, provide some news materials to the media, and then watch the opening film.

The opening film is "Bagheria", which is the first time in 20 years that the Venice Film Festival has used an Italian film as the opening film.

The movie was met with boos, and with an investment of $3000 million, all it got in return was all kinds of complaints.

Some people will also face media interviews.

Hao Yun and his book "Hello! Mr. Tree" are the favorites to win the award, so naturally there are various interviews and salons waiting for them.

However, the most important thing is to attend various movie premieres.

On the second day of the festival, "Life During Wartime" and "The Road" were premiered.

Hao Yun participated in both.

However, he obviously prefers the movie "The Road".

The film does not use shocking disaster scenes as a gimmick, but explores the bottom line of good human nature after the catastrophe. In the gloomy hell on earth, most people have succumbed to their instincts. Of course, it is precisely because of this that the few remaining rays of human light are even more magnificent.

The leading actor Viggo Mortensen is Aragorn in "The Lord of the Rings", but you can't tell that it's the same face that belongs to Aragorn in the movie "The Road".

He also came to the film festival, and compared to the flamboyant George Clooney, he was so low-key that he seemed as if he didn't exist.

Viggo Mortensen's performance is as solid as ever.

However, the young actor Kodi Smit-McPhee who played his son gave a very good performance, which was a surprise in the premiere.

He perfectly portrayed the feeling of helplessness that people imagine. His eyes were filled with fear of the end of the world and dependence on his father, and his emotional outburst was astonishing.

If the judges are not blind, they should at least give this kid the Best Newcomer Award.

"What a pity, you are too young!" Hao Yun sighed.

He came to the Venice International Film Festival, hoping to win the Best Actor award for his buddy so that he would feel that he had treated Huang Bo and Wang Shunliu equally, and thus feel happy.

Then it was time to cast for Manchester by the Sea.

He has already discussed with the young actors from "Inception" that they will come to play the roles of Hao Yun's son and daughter, the two children who were burned in the fire.

In fact, this is the living condition of child stars.

The pay is not much, and the roles are few, and the main purpose is to use your face and connections.

Once you have mastered the skills, you can get major supporting roles in American and British TV series, and then return to the film industry to make a name for yourself.

What Hao Yun lacks is an actor to play his nephew.

"He's already thirteen years old, which is actually not that young anymore." Viggo Mortensen takes good care of his "son". When he heard Hao Yun's words, he knew that Hao Yun must be looking for an actor for a role.

Hao Yun is the favorite for this year's Venice Golden Lion Award. Regardless of whether he can win the Golden Lion Award or not, the fact that he is recognized as a favorite is enough to show his status in the industry.

It’s good enough for ordinary people to become popular, let alone become a recognized hot favorite.

In fact, there are masters at this year's Venice Art Festival, including Jacques Rivette, Werner Herzog, Claire Denis, Patrick Jahout, Jacques van Dormayer... Jacques Rivette's visit to Venice at the age of 81 was the result of Marc Muller's mediation, but the New Wave veteran has passed his prime and it is no longer appropriate to award him the prize.

In a sense, a famous director means being out of date. He is mature but not sharp, and it is difficult for him to impress his many colleagues who are also filmmakers.

Mark Muller has been keen on supporting newcomers in the past two years.

Among the 25 films in the main competition unit, three are debuts, while the Berlin International Film Festival and the Cannes International Film Festival often only have one spot for a debut.

In Mark Muller's eyes, Hao Yun also happens to be a newcomer.

Hao Yun is extremely popular at this year's Venice International Film Festival.

So, Viggo Mortensen knows how important the favor from Hao Yun is to the son in his film.

Kodi Smit-McPhee looked at Hao Yun eagerly.

"This character is about 17 or 18 years old, the age gap is really too big. I hope we can have a chance to work together next time. You are a very talented actor. I hope I can have a chance to see you again next time."

Hao Yun is indeed very regretful.

At his level, looking at actors is like looking at tools.

Just like when men collect action figures, they will never collect just one - can it still be called collecting if they only collect one?
"Thank you, you are my idol!" Kodi Smit-McPhee looked at Hao Yun with admiration on her face.

To a young man like him, Hao Yun is a film master.

This conversation on the set of "The Road" was reported in the news, and many people knew that Hao Yun was looking for an actor who was about 17 or 18 years old.

Although Hao Yun clearly stated that he was only a supporting role, many agents still came to him with business cards and information.

These agents would edit the younger artists' works together and put them on CDs.

Hao Yun actually met quite a few suitable ones.

For example, Lucas Till, who starred in Taylor Swift's song "You Belong With Me" MV.

Jack O'Connell, who won the Best Actor Award at the Portugal International Fantasy Film Award last year for his role in the horror film "Eden Lake".

There is also Freddie Highmore, who starred in the fantasy adventure film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and so on.

Hao Yun found the enthusiasm of these people amazing.

At the same time, it also made him realize that he had truly become an international director.

However, he did not immediately decide who to play the role of his eldest nephew.

After all, these alternative actors only provided information, and he did not meet with the real people.

You still have to audition.

He will finish filming Manchester by the Sea in early winter this year and will take the film directly to the Berlin or Cannes Film Festival.

I also have to start seeking an award for myself as an actor.

Of course, since it was produced by the Hollywood film company FC Pictures, it meets Hollywood's entry standards and will definitely be nominated for an Oscar.

Hao Yun, who had stirred up the city, was on the boat at this time.

The hotel he stayed in was the Gritti Palace Hotel. In addition to daily socializing, he also spent time traveling around Venice with An Xiaoxi.

At least An Xiaoxi won't be neglected.

The two of them had just taken a boat trip to see Princess Sissi's palace.

I also bought some crystals that An Xiaoxi liked.

Venice's crystal product industry is quite famous. The crystal chandeliers and goblets in the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles in France are all from Venice. They are all handmade and have a production history of more than 1500 years.

An Xiaoxi already has a large collection of crystals.

Just like Hao Yun would have a room specifically for certificates and diaries, An Xiaoxi also has a room specifically for crystals.

"It's quite interesting to live on the water like this. It's nice to come and stay for a few days occasionally."

An Xiaoxi leaned in Hao Yun's arms.

Although she knew that there were many Chinese media gathered in Venice, she just didn't want to sit there alone.

He leaned lazily against Hao Yun and didn't want to care about anything anymore.

"I can get a boat in my garden in Hengdian, and go boating occasionally."

What Hao Yun was most satisfied with was the vegetation and water system there.

There are only two houses in an area of ​​more than 20 acres, and the rest is given to grass, trees and water systems.

"What is used as power?" An Xiaoxi asked, looking up.

"How about I swim and push from behind in my shorts?" Hao Yun joked with her.

"Good idea." An Xiaoxi smiled.

Hao Yun couldn't bear it anymore, so he kissed her in the evening glow of Venice.

Such scenes are not uncommon in Water City.

Originally, Hao Yun also booked a room in a cruise ship hotel where he could spend the night, but later gave up the idea.

I heard the sound insulation up there is very poor.
