Chapter 407 Opening Ceremony!

Chapter 407 Opening Ceremony! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations!!!)

The following day, the crew of "Before Sunrise" arrived.

In addition to Eva and Emmanuelle, there is sound engineer David Guetta, lighting technician, and costume designer.

There were seven people in the group.

Including Liu Jin, Isabelle Adjani, and Searchlight Pictures president Tom Rothman, the team now consists of ten people.

Not too much, not too little.

Then, the opening ceremony began.

The 60th Venice Film Festival has thus begun.

how to say?

This year's film festival was unremarkable.

There aren't many big-name movie stars, nor many big-name directors.

Although Monicelli did his best to organize many excellent films, the opening ceremony was somewhat lackluster due to the dim star power.

There were many reporters, but the response was lukewarm.

The most exciting moment was when the cast and crew of "Before Sunrise" appeared on the red carpet.

After all, this production team, which had a small investment and seemed unremarkable and even low-key, included two Cannes Best Actress winners, a Molière Award Best Actress winner, and a newly crowned Pulitzer Prize and Katz Prize winner.

It's a very hot topic.

Not to mention, there was also a playboy in the crew.

Producers, directors, and actors have all had affairs with him.

Just two days ago, this Pulitzer Prize-winning writer enjoyed a cruise on the Grand Canal in Venice with the lead actress from the film "21 Grams," and reportedly even sang a Chinese song. According to the gondolier, Mr. Amos's singing skills were average, but the melody was very beautiful, suggesting it was a new work of his.

So when Liu Jin and his entourage walked onto the red carpet, shouts, whistles, and enthusiastic applause rang out from outside the venue.

Liu Jin felt two small hands pinching his soft flesh on both sides of his waist and twisting it forcefully.

Turning their heads, Eva and Adjani smiled, revealing no flaws in their expressions.

If it weren't for the two small hands around his waist, he would have thought that nothing had happened...

"Amos, Amos, how does it feel to walk the red carpet for the first time?"

"the second time!"

Liu Jin immediately corrected himself, saying, "The first one was taken by Leonardo."

Laughter rose and fell in waves.

Luckily I brought sunglasses, otherwise the flash would have blinded me.

To accommodate Eva and Adjani, Liu Jin walked very slowly...

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the crowd and grabbed his clothes.

Immediately afterward, someone shouted, "Amos, you're using fiction to smear South Korea, don't you feel ashamed?"

"Let go!"

Liu Jin was almost pulled down.

Eva and Adjani also stumbled.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and helped the two of them up.

Then, turning around, I saw that the security guards had already grabbed a reporter with an Asian face.

"Koreans?"

Liu Jin shook off Eva and the other woman's hands, stepped forward, pointed at them, and cursed: "Even your government acknowledges this, and even legislated specifically because of my novel. What right do you have to spout nonsense and make baseless accusations here?"
Uh, I forgot, they're Koreans!

They even cheat when playing football, and once they cheat, they don't even dare to admit it.

Fourth place in last year's World Cup, is that something to be proud of? That's a disgrace to football... You Koreans are no different from the criminals in my book, a bunch of thieves, rapists. What you just said disgusts me.”

Liu Jin practically rushed over and launched into a tirade of abuse at the other person.

The reporter was completely bewildered by the insults.

Just as he was about to respond, the security guard next to him suddenly punched him in the stomach.

Immediately afterwards, another security guard covered his mouth and practically dragged him away from the crowd.

"Amos, that's so true. I also find them disgusting."

"Damn thieves, they stole our victory!"

Don't forget, Italy was a victim in last year's World Cup.

A year later, many people had forgotten about the incident, but this reporter's reappearance brought that unpleasant memory back to mind.

As the reporter was being dragged away, many people intervened, kicking and grabbing him.

The reporter was taken away.

Applause rang out from both sides of the red carpet.

Adjani, Eva, and Emmanuelle ran up to Liu Jin and pulled him away.

"Your temper is so unpredictable, it just comes on like that. This is the red carpet."

"What else can we do but let him slander me?"

Eva said with concern, "Amos, don't be angry. There's no need to take those thieves so seriously."

Tom Rothman and the others were dumbfounded.

This is probably the first time in the Venice Film Festival's 60-year history that a guest has been seen pointing at a reporter and hurling insults at them on the red carpet.

Is Amos short-tempered?

Rossman quietly stopped Emmanuel and whispered, "When I saw him yesterday, he seemed like a very gentlemanly man."

"Being a gentleman is about how you behave when you're with other gentlemen; it's unnecessary when you're with a thief."

"Will there be trouble?"

“Tom, you can tell by looking at the reactions around you.” Tom Rothman thought for a moment and then chuckled.

As he walked inside with the team, he was thinking about how to use this opportunity to maximize the benefits for the production crew.

……

"Wow, this guy's really arrogant!"

The cast and crew of "Wind's Love Scenery," who had already reached the end of the red carpet and were signing autographs and giving interviews, were all secretly amazed.

The reporter who was originally interviewing them also became somewhat distracted.

They began to eagerly await the arrival of Liu Jin and the others.

"Let's go in first."

Director Lai Miu-suet also noticed this situation.

However, she wasn't angry; instead, she found it quite amusing.

Liu Ye, however, couldn't help but sigh.

This wasn't his first time attending a film festival, but it was the first time he'd ever seen someone try to make a move on the red carpet.

Moreover, he is a Chinese citizen.

Judging from the expressions of the people around him, they all seemed to be on his side.

This made Liu Ye even more envious.

If he dares to act recklessly, he'll probably be labeled with several serious accusations and blacklisted when he gets back.

But what about Liu Jin?

This guy is really energetic!
Lin Jiaxin smiled and said, "Mr. Amos is very capable and has a strong sense of justice."

Last year, he received a death warning—a real death warning… Someone put bullets in envelopes and placed them in his school's mailbox. Others broke into his house windows in the middle of the night, but he didn't give in at all.

Su Jin couldn't help but say, "Jiaxin, you've practically become his unpaid advocate!"

“Hehe, it’s true… When Maggie came back to Hong Kong last year, she told me about it.”

"What a real man!"

Liu Ye couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

……

"Hey, Amos, I've been waiting for you!"

After Liu Jin and others walked the red carpet, signed their names, and took photos, they were stopped by the host.

"Hello, Miss Mosetti."

Liu Jin immediately recognized the emcee as Antonella Mosetti, a famous Italian heartthrob and sex symbol who had dated football stars such as the Inzaghi brothers, Totti, and Montella.

Well, don't ask him how he recognized him at a glance.

In his past life, he bought her calendar!
It's the kind you're thinking of...

"how do you feel?"

"What does it feel like?"

"The feeling of getting angry just now."

Liu Jin thought for a moment and then laughed, "If a lion kills a mouse, how do you think it feels?"

"Roar!"

The people around immediately erupted in uproar.

Mosetti's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as he smiled and said, "Your description is quite apt."

It felt like she was practically glued to Liu Jin.

This made Eva, Isabelle Adjani, and Emmanuelle somewhat unhappy.

The three of them moved past almost simultaneously and without leaving a trace, separating Liu Jin and Mosetti.
