Chapter 399 Liu Yifei Wants to Shave Her Head

"This." Faced with Marco Mueller's invitation to be the chairman of the jury, Wu Yuan hesitated.

However, good professional ethics still prevented him from changing jobs.

Shaking his head, Wu Yuan said regretfully: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Chairman."

"Since I have already agreed to Cannes, it is not easy to change the plan temporarily, unless there is some force majeure."

However, as a half-Venice family, it is not easy to refuse ruthlessly. Wu Yuan said: "Next time, if there is a chance next time, I will come to Venice to be a judge."

"Don't do it next time." Who knows, Marco Mueller directly hit the snake with a stick, and said with a smile: "The year after next."

"You go to Cannes next year, then come to Venice the year after next. 2011 is the last year of my term as chairman of the film festival. Come and help me."

Well, Wu Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, no problem."

The chairman of the film festival personally blocked the door. It has come to this point, and it is impossible not to agree.

Since the two spoke in Chinese, the members of the Huaxia Legion who followed them back to the hotel, whether they could understand foreign languages ​​or not, could understand their conversation.

Seeing Marco Mueller strongly invite Wu Yuan to be the chairman of the jury, and even booked it two years in advance, and eagerly offered this position, Guan Hu and other directors were so envious.

I don’t know how many people have the phrase "a great director should be like this" in their minds.

They have a hard time competing for domestic film awards, let alone becoming the chairman of the jury.

But Wu Yuan can easily be the chairman of the jury in the three major European awards, and even the chairman of the film festival took the initiative to invite him.

The gap between them is so big that it doesn’t even make people jealous, only full of envy and admiration.

"Okay, then I won’t disturb you to rest, I wish you a happy week in Venice." Marco Mueller said goodbye to the Huaxia Legion with satisfaction.

As the chairman of the film festival, Marco Mueller is the busiest during the opening of the film festival every year. He can take time out to pick up the Huaxia Legion in person, which is enough to give face.

After bidding farewell to Marco Mueller, the Chinese army gathered at the Lido Island Hotel disbanded on the spot.

The film festival organizing committee arranged a whole floor of rooms for them, which was enough to accommodate everyone.

There was no need to be shy, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei moved into the same room directly, ready to take a rest, adjust to the time difference, and have fun in Venice tomorrow.

Wu Yuan had no work to do when leading the team to Venice this time. The company's copyright sales department and the two directors Zhang Guorong and Chen Kaige were responsible for selling the film.

Whether it was a promotion meeting or a screening, Wu Yuan did not need to show up.

Except for presenting the award to the best actor at the closing ceremony, he was free at other times.

Wu Yuan planned to relax with Liu Yifei in Venice for two days, and then, after the film festival opened, he would treat himself as an audience member attending the film festival and enjoy a week of movie feast.

After a simple wash, Wu Yuan leaned against the head of the bed, picked up the brochure of this year's Venice Film Festival on the bedside table, and looked at it.

"Among the films shortlisted for the main competition this year, there are 4 Italian films, 6 American films, 3 French films, 2 Hong Kong films, and as many as 12 films from 12 countries."

"The countries and genres involved in the films shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival this year are more than in previous years."

"It seems that President Marco Mueller is indeed a little anxious at the moment when Cannes is becoming more and more international."

Compared to the Oscars, where foreign films can only participate in the Best Foreign Language Film competition, the Venice International Film Festival is undoubtedly more open and worthy of the word "international" in its name.

It is also worth mentioning that almost none of the 6 shortlisted American films this time are Hollywood productions, but independent films.

No film from the Big Six Hollywood and mid-level companies such as New Line and Lionsgate was shortlisted.

This situation is rare.

Even if the European Big Three have always looked down on the so-called "Hollywood productions", Hollywood, which has done the best global commercialization and is backed by a hegemonic country, will not be rejected by the European Big Three.

In previous years, there would still be one or two films produced by big Hollywood companies that were shortlisted for the main competition unit.

This year, there was no film shortlisted for at least seven or eight years.

Perhaps it was because of the last war of words between the European film industry and Hollywood caused by Wu Baige?

Wu Yuan guessed in his heart.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Liu Yifei, who had just finished taking a shower, came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and curiously looked at the brochure in Wu Yuan's hand.

"This year's Venice brochure."

"Don't look at it yet, come on, brother, help me blow my hair."

Wu Yuan smiled, put down the brochure in his hand, picked up the hotel's hair dryer, and blew Liu Yifei's hair.

"It's really troublesome for you women to take care of your hair. It takes more than ten minutes to blow dry it after washing, and it's not easy to do it alone."

"How about I cut my hair short?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said eagerly: "Cut it to a length similar to yours, like a tomboy!"

"Let me tell you, when I was a child, I was like a tomboy. Later, after I started learning dance, I became quiet."

"It's nice to review it now."

"Don't" Wu Yuan had an indescribable expression, his brows were so furrowed that they could kill flies, "If you, the fairy sister, cut your hair into a flat head, I don't know how many fans will be heartbroken."

"What's wrong with a flat head? I also want to shave my head bald, it's convenient, I don't need to take care of my hair." Liu Yifei was excited and excited.

Wu Yuan imagined what she would look like with a flat head or a shaved head, and felt goose bumps all over his body.

What kind of strange interest is this.

"Black and straight hair looks better" he whispered.

"Ah." Liu Yifei glanced at Wu Yuan and said helplessly: "I was just thinking about it. I signed a contract to endorse shampoo and cosmetics. The contract stipulates that I am not allowed to change my hairstyle at will."

"Unless you are filming, you must have long black hair every day, and even dyeing your hair is not allowed."

Wu Yuan suddenly realized: "No wonder you have long black hair for the past two years. At most, you have curled it. I have never seen you dye your hair. I thought you just don't like dyeing your hair."

Unlike in Wu Yuan's dream, Liu Yifei made all kinds of eye-catching hairstyles after her debut as a singer idol. In this time and space, although Liu Yifei also had curly hair and fishnet stockings when she released an album, she soon returned to long black straight hair.

Wu Yuan thought that her aesthetic level had improved after she followed him.

It turned out that she became a celebrity in this life because of "Your Name" and had a lot of high-level endorsement contracts on her back, so she couldn't change her hairstyle at will.

This situation is still very common. Generally, the more advanced endorsement contracts not only stipulate that the spokesperson cannot change the style at will, but some even stipulate that the spokesperson must create a "personality" according to the style they give.

At least during the endorsement period, the artist is more of a human-shaped advertisement and cannot have his own fashion preferences.

Of course, this refers to daily life, that is, the way he is exposed to the public.

When filming, according to the requirements of the script, you can change your style at will.

"Hey, if you really want to try shaving your head, it's not impossible." Wu Yuan paused his hand blowing Liu Yifei's hair and said meaningfully.

The next chapter will be a little later
