This man knows how to hype

Chapter 428 My evaluation is average

inside the room.

The atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

Looking at Xu Xiyu who was lost in thought, Walter Lanz glanced at his watch with some boredom, and then whispered to Cheng Yunqing: "Sophia, I think I am not needed here for the time being.

You know, many beautiful girls pursuing their dreams came from all over the world to this film festival. Some of them may want to participate in some red carpet shows, and I will help them realize their dreams.

Oh, damn, speaking of this, I have to make a request to you. Can you give me some red carpet invitations for the premiere of "The Intouchables"? I think some girls will be very interested in your premiere red carpet. "

The premiere he was referring to was the first public screening of "The Intouchables" at a venue at the Venice Film Festival.

Generally speaking, there will be celebrities walking the red carpet to show support for the premieres of the films participating in the exhibition. As for how many celebrities come, it depends on the connections of the film’s creators.

There are many domestic and foreign artists and internet celebrities coming to the Venice Film Festival this time.

Most of these people do not have their works shortlisted for any section of the film festival. Their purpose of coming here is to appear on the red carpet of the premieres of the shortlisted films and the red carpet of the award ceremony.

This is the origin of “riding the red carpet”.

Therefore, even if Xu Xiyu has no intersection with foreign artists, there is no need to worry that there will only be Chinese faces on the red carpet of "The Intouchables".

Because there will definitely be some foreign artists and internet celebrities who will appear on the red carpet.

What does world “Great Harmony” mean?
This is called Datong. Artists and internet celebrities all over the world are the same. It's not just Chinese artists who like to walk the red carpet to increase their status.

Therefore, when Cheng Yunqing heard Walter Lanz asking him for an invitation letter and saying that he was helping a girl who was chasing her dreams to realize her dreams, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You really like to justify your actions."

"No, no, no. I am indeed helping them. I help them get what they want, and they help me get through the boring nights." Walter Lanz stood up with a chuckle.

Then he buttoned up his suit jacket and said to Xu Xiyu and Cheng Yunqing, "Have fun. Bye!"

This farewell brought Xu Xiyu back to his senses. Looking at the door that Walter Lanz had closed, he turned his head and said to Cheng Yunqing, "Do you want to go shopping?"

“I won’t go shopping, but you guys can go for a stroll, for example, take Lu Qinyao and Xiaoyu to see the Flying Lion of St. Mark. The biggest award at the Venice Film Festival is the Golden Lion.

Maybe you'll get lucky after watching Lion. As for me, I'll help you find some people to support the show, otherwise it won't be good to watch the premiere without any famous foreign artists." Cheng Yunqing laughed.

She came here this time because Hu Ningtian asked her to help Xu Xiyu find a way.

Since I have accepted this task, I naturally have to put some thought into it.

As for how to find people to support the scene, it is actually very simple.

There are many luxury brands in Italy, such as Prada, Versace, Gucci and so on.

Cheng Yunqing and Hu Ningwei are both top customers of these luxury brands. These luxury brands have cooperation with many foreign celebrities, so it is not difficult to ask them to arrange some artists to come and show their support.

Of course, that’s all. Support and winning awards are two different things. Cheng Yunqing has no say on whether “The Intouchables” can win an award.

Thinking of this, she clapped her hands, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going to be busy. See you later."

"Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law." Xu Xiyu chuckled.

As soon as he said this, Cheng Yunqing glanced at him, raised his lips and said, "I still want to ask, in what capacity do you call me sister-in-law? Are you Ning Tian's friend, or... um?"

"Hahaha, let's go. I'm going to see the bronze lion. I don't know why, but I always feel that the lion looks a bit like it was made in China." Xu Xiyu interrupted and didn't answer.

"You're crazy! Everything is made in China. Why didn't you say that the lion was a tomb guardian beast?" Cheng Yunqing joked.

After saying that, she pushed the door and left.

Xu Xiyu stood there and stretched.

Half an hour later, Xu Xiyu, Yu Yuyu, Lu Qinyao and others got into a car.

As soon as he got in the car, Yu Yuyu chirped, "Brother, do you know who is on the jury for the main competition unit this time?"

"Who is it?"

"Zhang Yujiao, the news was made public an hour ago." Yu Yuyu said.

"Zhang Yujiao?" Upon hearing this name, Xu Xiyu blinked a few times, and the image of Yu Jiaolong from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on Earth involuntarily popped up in his mind.

If there is anyone on Blue Star who caught the last train for Chinese actresses to develop in Hollywood, it can only be Zhang Yujiao.

After her, Chinese actresses failed to make a name for themselves even when they went to Hollywood.

This is not to say that Zhang Yujiao is really better than other actresses.

Rather, she did meet a group of noble people at the right time. And it wasn't just one noble person, but a group of noble people. Just like Zhang Ziyi met a group of people like Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Jackie Chan, etc. who continued to support her, the same is true for Zhang Yujiao.

However, no matter what the reason is, she has reached her current status.

Anyway, the objective reality is that her influence in the international film industry is indeed much higher than that of other Chinese actresses of the same age.

Xu Xiyu had never dealt with Zhang Yujiao, so he had no idea what her personality was like.

I heard that he is a bit arrogant and doesn't look at people straight in the eye.

This is normal. In the entertainment industry, it is common to climb up the powerful and look down on the weak. People who are active internationally will not look down on those who are active domestically.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said, "Whether it's Zhang Yujiao or Liu Yujiao, it has nothing to do with us. There's no need to be so excited."

"Of course it doesn't matter. We are all Chinese, so we are family. Maybe they will vote for us when they review the films and give awards?" Yu Yuyu said immediately.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu and Lu Qinyao both looked at her with wide eyes, not knowing how to respond.

own people?
Who is your own people?

Not to mention when you are abroad, even when you are in a foreign place, the first thing you have to be wary of is people who keep calling themselves "one of us".

It is said that fish is good for the brain, so how come three fish are not enough to nourish your simple brain?
One day passed like this.

The next afternoon, Zhang Yujiao, who was identified by Yu Yuyu as her own, was in a small cinema. Together with her were other judges from the jury of the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.

Their topic happened to be related to Xu Xiyu.

Because, they plan to watch The Intouchables so they can rate it.

Speaking of which, two Chinese films were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival this time, in addition to "The Intouchables".

There is also a film called "A Night Without Dawn", directed by the well-known art film director Lu Ye.

Therefore, as the only Chinese judge on the jury, Zhang Yujiao was naturally ridiculed by others for wanting to watch "The Intouchables".

"Zhang, you must not deliberately give a high score to The Intouchables just because it is a Chinese movie."

"Hahaha, as far as I know, the screenwriter of this movie is the hottest new entertainment star in your country, and he is also an entertainment tycoon.

You are the best actress in your country, didn't he seek cooperation with you? "The first person finished speaking, and another person immediately took over.

Seeing them teasing her, Zhang Yujiao said seriously: "In fact, I don't know him, and even if I do, I won't be biased."

After that, she deliberately exaggerated: "Come on, the Venice Film Festival is international, you know, I am a person with an extremely international vision.

I am very sad that you doubt me so much. Besides, are you going to give any extra treatment just because the movie is from your country?"

As soon as this question was asked, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

You can tell from their smiles that they will give extra treatment to films from their own country.

If the quality of the movies is similar, choosing a movie from your own country is equivalent to contributing to the development of your own country's film industry.

What a bullshit international perspective, stop it.

I am a judge now. If I don’t even have this little right, I’d rather not be one.

But Zhang Yujiao doesn't think so. When the quality of movies is similar, or even when Chinese movies are better than foreign ones, she will still choose foreign movies.

She feels that only in this way can she demonstrate her fairness and justice and allow foreigners to feel her professionalism.

To be honest, this mentality is not only shared by Zhang Yujiao, but also by many people.

And they don't think there is anything wrong with doing so.

Therefore, seeing the other judges laughing, Zhang Yujiao also laughed: "Time is tight, I think we should hurry up and watch the movie."

A few minutes later, the full film of "The Intouchables" was projected on the screen, with the original Chinese version and dual subtitles in Chinese and English.

This may be a bit of a hurdle for ordinary foreign audiences to watch the movie.

But for these professional filmmakers, there are not many problems. Especially Zhang Yujiao, she can fully appreciate the content expressed in "The Intouchables" without any obstacles.

Because of this, the more Zhang Yujiao looked at it, the more frightened she became, and the uglier her expression became.

In sharp contrast to her, the judges around her went from being indifferent at first to gradually becoming serious, and finally, their emotions were completely moved by the movie.
