I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 171 Watching the Venice Film Festival Live!
The footage shot this way will definitely look fake.

What the audience actually wants to see are equestrian experts.

Especially when playing a female general, how can one carry the role without excellent horsemanship?

Didn't you see Cheng Sheng making Da Tian Tian work hard to improve her riding skills?

In a good movie, especially when a female star plays a general, the scene of her riding a horse is definitely a selling point and a highlight.

After all, many people want to see a cool and invincible female general leading her troops into battle.

Instead of wanting to see a 'female general' with an affected and pretentious upper body.

Wang Zhi became an instant sensation thanks to her role as the 'female lead' in the film "Buried Alive" and her horseback riding video.

Just as domestic media were hyping up the movie "Buried," September 10th arrived quickly, the day of the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony.

The Venice International Film Festival awards ceremony is usually held during the daytime, of course, this is for the main competition section, while the awards ceremony for other sections may be scheduled in the evening or at night.

The time difference between Venice and China is five hours.

If it's 7 PM in Venice, then it's 1 AM in Beijing, China.

The awards ceremony was held at 2 PM, which is 7 PM in China.

5 PM, Wuxi Film and Television City.

Cheng Sheng gathered everyone together and said, "We won't be filming the night scenes tonight."

"Why the director?"

Li Heiniu asked, puzzled.

He was supposed to film a night scene as Guan Hai, but it was canceled, which puzzled him greatly.

The others also looked at Cheng Sheng with puzzled expressions.

The movie has been filming for five months. Shouldn't we speed up the filming so we can wrap it up sooner?

"The Venice Awards ceremony will begin in two hours. I'm giving everyone the night off so you can all go back to the hotel and watch the ceremony," Cheng Sheng said.

“Oh yeah! How could I forget something so important? Just a few days ago I was thinking about watching ‘Buried’ and winning an award!” Li Heiniu slapped his forehead and said.

"I heard there's a live stream on Chinese websites tonight. Will we be able to see Wang Zhi on the live stream?" an actress said happily.

Wang Zhi is now an idol among those who are not famous. They also hope to learn from Wang Zhi and be noticed by Director Cheng Sheng.

"I wonder if Director Cheng will win the Best Screenplay award."

"It's sure to win. Director Cheng Sheng's script is so good. If it doesn't win an award, then the Venice organizers must have rigged it."

"I want to see Li Naiwen win an award."

"I want, too."

Director Chen's heart stirred slightly; he also hoped that Li Naiwen would win the Best Actor award.

If Li Naiwen wins, will he also be able to win the Best Actor award at the three major European awards next year for his role in "Three Kingdoms"?

"Alright, everyone stop talking. Pack your things, go back to the hotel for dinner, a shower, and to watch the Venice Awards ceremony."

Cheng Sheng stopped the crowd from discussing it.

After saying that, he asked his assistant to pack his things and then went home.

"Cheng Sheng, wait for me."

Just then, Da Tiantian's voice came from behind Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng turned around and saw Da Tiantian still wearing her costume, jogging over with sweat on her forehead. He frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I want to watch the live stream with you," Da Tian Tian said, crossing her arms.

"Don't you have a computer? Why are you watching it with me?" Cheng Sheng said.

Moreover, if he and Da Tiantian stayed in a hotel room together, the news would likely spread like wildfire, causing a huge scandal.

He didn't want to be misunderstood. Of course, he wouldn't provoke the people behind Da Tian Tian, ​​since Da Tian Tian was still a minor.

If he spends an hour or two alone in a room with someone, it will definitely cause misunderstandings, and then it will be another "script reading in the dark" incident, which he won't be able to explain even if he has a hundred mouths.

"My computer is broken," Da Tian Tian said, pouting.

“No, you can go to the other actresses’ rooms to watch,” Cheng Sheng refused.

"No, I'm not familiar with them. I just want to watch with you," Da Tian Tian said coquettishly.

Looking at Da Tiantian's determined eyes, and her look of wanting to stick with him, Cheng Sheng had a terrible headache.

If I don't agree, she seems determined to pester me relentlessly!
What a hassle.

Mencius.

Just then, Liu Meng passed by him, and Cheng Sheng quickly called out.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

Liu Meng stopped and glanced at Cheng Sheng and Da Tiantian, asking in confusion.

"You'll watch the live stream with me tonight."

Being alone with Jing Tian would easily lead to rumors, so I'll have to find someone else.

"No way, boss! I've made plans with Teacher Bao and the others tonight to watch the live stream and have a drink together," Liu Meng said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng couldn't help but look at Chen Daoming. He needed to find someone to accompany him, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to explain it afterward.

Director Chen smiled and spread his hands, saying, "Sorry, Director, Director Liu Meng also made an appointment with me."

Mudd!

Is he playing himself?
Cheng Sheng cursed inwardly, he refused to believe that it was so difficult to find someone to watch the live stream with.

Thinking it over, Cheng Sheng glanced repeatedly at the male celebrities, as for the female celebrities...

Never mind, I'll just filter it out.

If he actually found a female celebrity to watch the live stream with him, the rumors might become even more outrageous the next day.

A famous director had a late-night rendezvous with two female celebrities.

One dragon and two phoenixes, the director really knows how to play with this.

Is this a sign of distorted humanity or the director's power, that two female celebrities were allowed to accompany him?

One man and two women, their identities are unclear and ambiguous, they work day and night shifts alternately.

What happened during the 60 minutes that two women and one man were alone in a room?
Thinking about all this, Cheng Sheng felt utterly hopeless.

After all, what exactly happened in the bedroom is impossible to explain clearly, and the media can probably write whatever they want.

In the entertainment industry, when a man is exposed to be alone in a room with two women, no matter how long it lasts, rumors that cause misunderstandings will inevitably circulate.

If a married male celebrity is involved, the situation will only be more serious, as the public will often speculate that his relationship with his wife has broken down, or even suspect that he has committed adultery.

For example, Feng Shaofeng was later exposed to have returned to his residence late at night with two beautiful women. Although his studio denied it, public opinion still questioned his image as a "good father," which led to his divorce.

The public really enjoys gossiping about the entertainment industry.

Just like Lin Qingxia, who has a special identity! She can be said to be the perfect goddess in the hearts of the Chinese people, but the scandal that broke out about her was shocking and jaw-dropping.

This story dates back to when Lin Qingxia received the Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award, and Jenny revealed a past incident about Lin Qingxia at her celebration party.

She posted a congratulatory message on social media, while also recalling a surprising scene from their collaboration on the film "Maple Leaf" years ago—sharing a bed with Jenny's husband also present.

This revelation immediately sparked heated discussions and speculations among netizens, with a wide variety of comments making the whole incident so eye-catching.

In her memoir, Jenny recounted some interesting anecdotes from the filming of "Maple Leaf Love".
