Chapter 1782: Thirty Years Old (2)

"Spring Light" was filmed three years ago. Because it was filmed in that special era, it has been delayed in release. Even though director Sun Wujiu changed it many times, he still couldn't get the dragon mark. When Bo Yan was filming "Sunrise" last year, he suggested that if he really couldn't do it, he could go to a foreign A-class film festival. As long as you are confident in the quality of the film, you don't need to win an award. You just need to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, which will help you get the dragon mark and release it.

Sun Wujiu did think so, but when Bo Yan proposed it, the registration for the three major European awards that year had ended. He had no choice but to continue polishing the film. On the one hand, he changed some too radical shots that were released in China, and on the other hand, he edited and modified the film again.

The three major European awards are Cannes, Berlin and Venice, which are all international A-class film festivals. There is a rule for such film festivals that you can only register for one of them and cannot register repeatedly. Cannes is the most famous and the most difficult to get. It can be said that Sun Wujiu's choice of Venice is indeed a second-best approach.

There is no obstacle for Xia Siyu to come to Venice. Now, only China has particularly strict requirements for epidemic prevention in the world. But in other countries, basically only a negative test result is required before you can move freely. In the crew, John Scott and the director will also come to Venice. It's just that the director is a judge, and John Scott is invited to participate in the film festival activities.

After hanging out with John for a long time, although this guy is an out-and-out playboy, he flirts with her as soon as he opens his mouth, but in fact he doesn't mean it at all, he just flirts for fun. If he takes it seriously, he may run faster than anyone else. He has flirted with Asians before, but the other party took it seriously, which scared him so much that he didn't go to school for a week, and he has been keeping away from conservative Asians ever since.

Of course, when he said this to Xia Siyu, Xia Siyu understood that flirting was just a way to spice up life. If he said something intimate, she also asked her not to take it seriously: "Cut, what scared you to miss a week of school? She is not a jackal or tiger."

The smile on John's face was restrained a little, he thought Xia Siyu took it seriously. Who knew she would say, "You just don't want to go to school."

John was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sylvia (Xia Siyu's English name), you are right." Then he patted her shoulder, and they became good friends from then on.

Because the shooting time was tight, Xia Siyu arrived in Venice the day before the awards ceremony.

She took a flight with the director and John. Not long after takeoff, he saw a beautiful stewardess and ran to chat her up. He later went to the bar and had a few drinks here. When Xia Siyu woke up after a nap, he returned to his seat drunkenly.

Fortunately, the first-class cabin of international flights has a bedroom, an independent space, and you can wash. The assistant pressed John to take a shower before getting off the plane to wash off the smell of alcohol. Xia Siyu also changed her clothes and got dressed. In addition to Wei Jingjing, her exclusive makeup artist also came with her this time, and she dared to put on a delicate light makeup before getting off the plane.

Venice, Xia Siyu had been to Venice with her mother before. Water City is a bit like Suzhou in China. In its heyday, the entire city was the center of the European Renaissance, and commerce was extremely developed.

In fact, apart from participating in the award ceremony, she did not have any other extra work. But Bo Yan finally went abroad despite the epidemic, and had to be quarantined when he returned to China. How could he meet each other in a hurry and then go his separate ways. She asked the director to stay in Venice for two more days, reporting "business activities".

Since the filming, Xia Siyu has basically been a model worker. As long as she has a role, she has always completed it seriously. Unless she can't handle the content at all, she doesn't use a stand-in. There is a scene of riding a heavy motorcycle, which she did herself.

The director also generously approved the leave. Counting the round-trip time, this time she was given five days. When he just got off the plane, John still said with a playful smile: "Hey, little Hill, we will be separated for the next three days, don't miss me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Siyu saw from a distance that a familiar figure appeared in the crowd of people who were meeting at the airport. Xia Siyu didn't respond to him, and ran directly to the man.

Needless to say, it must be Bo Yan. He was a little surprised: "How did you recognize me?"

He wore a mask and black-framed glasses. In order to blend in with the local protective color, he deliberately wore a white T-shirt and jeans, and looked no different from a local who was picking up the plane.

Xia Siyu raised her head, with an expression of seeking praise: "Of course."

Bo Yan was about to respond, and there was a commotion behind him. Before John came out, he put on a show, and the bodyguard assistant cleared the way and dragged him all the way forward. There were indeed many fans who came to pick up the plane, screaming and running over.

When Xia Siyu looked back at him, John also threw her a wink, and then walked to the other side of the passage under the escort of the bodyguard.

In fact, Xia Siyu had seen this scene many times before. During the heyday of Bo Yan's fans, they really liked to go to the airport to wait for the pick-up. If she and Bo Yan wanted this scene, having someone organize it in advance could also have this effect, although the locals might not know them.

There is no way. Although serious film judges only think that John Scott is making popcorn movies, the superhero series is indeed very popular and has a higher global reputation.

If Xia Siyu and others want to arrange it, there are probably not many of her die-hard fans in the white community. At most, they can gather some Chinese to make up the numbers.

Bo Yan saw that she was still looking over there, half doubtful and half jealous: "Are you close to him?" He just saw John winking at her.

Xia Siyu giggled: "No, he's my buddy. Don't worry, he's not interested in Asians. His hobbies are super S curves, plump, Kardashian-like."

Bo Yan glanced at her, and Xia Siyu immediately puffed out her chest: "I have too!"

But she quickly collapsed again: "But I have to say that it's really a racial gap. My size is considered a mini model over there."

"Mini means mini, I just like it." Bo Yan actually didn't doubt her feelings. After the two separated, they video chatted when they were free. She just glanced at him from a distance and recognized him instantly.

"Tsk, I'm not doing this just because you like it."

While the two were talking, Wei Jingjing and the others also came with their luggage. They got in the car together and drove to the hotel.

After completing the accommodation procedures, they took the room card and went upstairs. The hotel they found this time was an old building that was four or five hundred years old.
