Chapter 388: Liu Yifei Punches Lao Mouzi, Steps on Zhen Zidan, and Wu Yusen Kneels Down (1, Guaranteed)
"What, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Venice Film Festival award-winning information is also constantly updated in China.
It was only eight o'clock in the morning in Beijing. Yang Mi had just woken up and started paying attention to the battle in Venice. She hoped that "Fireworks on Earth" would win the award, but she did not want to see Liu Yifei win the award.
It's not that I'm jealous, I just feel that Sissi is still young and winning the award too early will be detrimental to her future progress. I'm doing this for her own good.
But pinch!
After already winning one award, "Human Fireworks" actually won another Best Actress, Liu Yifei, unexpectedly, at the age of 23, she became an international queen!
Yang Mi watched it repeatedly to make sure it was not false news, so she sat on the bed and beat her chest and feet, feeling extremely painful.
Wang Quan on the side turned over, "What, Sissi won the award?"
Yang Mi nodded with tears in her eyes, "God has no eyes!"
Wang Quan hugged her and kissed her twice comfortingly, "Why, are you worried that the fairy honey will not be able to be together from now on?"
Yang Mi shook her head, "No matter how much she is a Best Actress, she also acts as a co-star for me in the movie, but when I think about it, she will have the title of Best Actress in front of her in the future, and she will be one of the top three European movie stars, which she has never won in the past four years. After that, I was in a panic.”
Wang Quan hurriedly rubbed Mimi's chest, "The Best Actress thing is decided by a few people behind closed doors. There are too many chances and uncertainties. Since Sissi has already taken it, you don't have to worry, because you can leave. Another road, the road of box office queen."
"Box office queen?"
"That's right, haven't you found that you have great box office appeal? The first movie you starred in almost broke 100 million. My co-star brother Long, his previous results were just like that, but with You, he directly broke the record for Chinese films. This is not only He has great charisma and some luck, and people in the industry believe in this."
Hearing what Wang Quan said, Yang Mi felt much better, and her chest was not so blocked, but a little tight.
She grabbed Wang Quan's hand and said, "Thank you, brother, for helping me. I'm on my cell phone. I want to post on Weibo."
"what?"
"Of course, congratulations to my good sister Sissi!"
Royal power, "..."
This matter has been overturned in Yang Mi's mind, but some people may not be able to get over it.
The four-star duo, together with Shu Qi and Gao Yuanyuan, almost monopolized the best director resources in Chinese-language films in the past few years. However, the result was that they failed to win the third place in Europe. Instead, Liu Yifei, who was only 23 years old, took the lead. I'm afraid there are some People are more miserable than Mimi.
Zhang Ziyi has joined the cast again. During the break between filming of "The Grandmaster", she joined the crew of Gu Changwei's "The Favorite". This is not considered a sideshow. After all, it is normal for the crew of King of Sunglasses to stop for a year or two. She has recently In a special period, only by constantly joining the group can she stay away from the whirlpool of public opinion.
However, she was still paying attention to the news from the outside world while filming in Shangoogou. Until she saw Liu Yifei winning the Best Actress title in Venice, something seemed to block her heart.
She, why should she? Is the judge stupid? Oh, the judge is Charlize Theron. She can't be offended.
"Zi Yi, this one, uh, I feel not in good condition, let's try another one." Gu Changwei stared at the monitor.
"Oh, good director."
But Zhang Ziyi still failed to meet the director's requirements several times, which made Aaron Kwok next to him very happy. Usually Zhang Ziyi always got it right, but he was tortured repeatedly by the director. Today it was finally Xiao Zhang's turn. Ha ha!

Li Bingbing had just come back from the United States. When he got off the plane, he heard this shocking news from his assistant. For a moment, the joy of being able to win the second female lead in "Resident Evil 5" was gone. Young people nowadays are so fierce. !
No, should the royal power be so powerful? Being able to influence the judges of the Venice Film Festival is really too deep and unfathomable!
~
Fan Bingbing thought the same way. This award must be run by the royal power. Isn’t it just that he wants to sleep with the international best actress? Hum, I have to get a best actress back from my trip to Tokyo this time!
"Guanyinshan" starring her and Li Yuer has been confirmed to be shortlisted for the Tokyo International Film Festival and will go to Tokyo next month.

Xu Jinglei is currently filming the movie version of "Love to the End" and wants to stir up the drama. In addition, Li Yapeng also invited his wife Wang Fei to sing the theme song.
When the director mentioned this to the crew, although Xu Jinglei felt a little sad, she said calmly, "I am not in the same track as this girl. I will focus more on my directing career in the future."
~
Zhao Yanzi thought the same way. She was admitted to the Nortel Directing Department for a Master of Fine Arts. When she saw the news that Liu Yifei won the Venice title, she felt a little stirred in her heart. It was easy to win the award when there was someone behind her. Unlike herself, she relied entirely on her own efforts. , next she plans to make a shining return as a director, and she already has an idea of the subject matter she wants to shoot.

Zhou Xun was rather unlucky. When attending the launch press conference of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", he was asked by a provocative reporter, "Do you think Liu Yifei deserved to win the Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival? You know, One Chinese-language filmmaker who received this honor is Zhang Manyu.”
Moreover, Zhang Manyu and Liu Yifei are the only two Chinese actresses in Venice.
Although Zhou Xun felt in his heart that Liu Yifei could not compare with Zhang Manyu, he still had a smile on his face and said, "I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't comment."
Chen Kun, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see her bestie being targeted, so she took the microphone and said, "This is the launch conference for "Dragon Gate Flying Daggers". Let's talk about something related to the movie, what do you think, director?"
Xu Ke quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, our movie is a martial arts movie shot in 3D, and the presentation effect is very different from previous movies."
After not getting an invitation to stay in Venice, he went back to China to prepare for a new film. This time he didn't cooperate with Huayi, but with Bona.
Xu Laoguai's main theme is to treat everyone equally, and he is going to cooperate with Wang Dao next time. Finally, someone is willing to invest in himself to shoot a red theme like "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"!
Of course, the most intense reaction is from netizens.
Especially Liu Yifei's fans, facing those sarcastic voices in the past, they are so arrogant.
"A 23-year-old Venice Film Festival winner, are you afraid?"
"Our Sissi really doesn't dare to compete with Zhang Manyu in acting, but at least she did a good job in this movie!"
"Looking forward to "Human Fireworks", looking forward to Li Ziqi!"
"Thank you Venice for your recognition of Sissi, our next goal is the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards!"
"I spent a year for a role, and most of the time I lived and ate in the countryside. This is not something that ordinary actors can do. Sissi deserves it!"
"Counting all the actresses born in the 1970s and 1980s, Sissi is the first in Chinese-language films, and the first actress of this age group to win the Best Actress award at the three major European film festivals. Congratulations!"
"Thank you Sissi for the honor you have won for Chinese-language filmmakers!"
"I think this honor belongs to the United States, what do you think?"
"Get lost!"
This blind netizen was spit on by Tianxian fans. Is it interesting to talk about nationality at this time? Is it interesting?
In Venice, Liu Yifei thanked the director and the cast and crew on stage, and also thanked her boyfriend Wang Quan generously, "He tailored a role for me and encouraged me to spend a year to shape this role. I want to say that it's all worth it! I am also willing to devote my energy and time to every role in the future."
Having won two awards in succession, "Human Fireworks" can be said to be a great success this time. Unexpectedly, there are still surprises to come. In the best director segment, Huo Jianqi heard his name and there was a third award!
Charlize Theron smiled and watched Huo Jianqi go on stage to receive the award. There were two options when deciding the award. One was to let her most admired "Human Fireworks" win the Golden Lion Award for Best Film.
However, other judges considered that Chinese-language films had just won two Golden Lions in a row in the past few years, and it was time to give some opportunities to filmmakers from other countries.
So they finally decided on the second set of plans, giving "Human Fireworks" three awards in one go, which was not inferior to the best film at all.
Liu Yifei was not nostalgic for the scenery of Venice, and couldn't wait to hand the trophy to her boyfriend and get his praise.
After receiving the news, the domestic media began to wait around the clock at Beijing International Airport, just to take the first photo of the new actress after returning to China.
Because the scene was so big that it even alarmed the airport police, the middle-aged man who led the group asked about it and had only one request, "Make sure to take a prettier photo of Sissi!"
Although he looked middle-aged, he also grew up watching "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!
However, their hopes were dashed. After waiting for a day, they didn't see Liu Yifei. Instead, they got overseas news that Liu Yifei appeared at the Toronto airport!
Liu Yifei really wanted to share the joy of winning the award with her boyfriend as soon as possible, but there was no way. The crew had to go to the Toronto International Film Festival to continue promoting the movie. The two film festivals were connected, and she, the heroine, could not be absent. She already knew that the crew had an account with more than 100,000 fans on YouTube, and she was the main force of the promotion.
With the honor of Venice, Toronto gave a very high standard of treatment, and this film festival was even more favored by the North American market, which was conducive to the promotion of "Human Fireworks" in the North American market.
After three days in Toronto, Liu Yifei thought about it. Since she was already in North America, why not go back to Los Angeles?
Liu Xiaoli wanted to persuade her, but she couldn't persuade her at all. The actress was now in a bad mood.
The so-called return to Los Angeles was actually to see Gadot and Alice. She greeted Gadot in advance and returned to Los Angeles after getting her permission.
In the past, she only looked at photos and saw how big she could crawl from the first day of her birth to now. This was the first time Liu Yifei saw a baby with half the blood of Wang Quan, which made her feel very close.
"Gadot, can I hug her?"
"Of course, it seems that she likes you very much." Gadot smiled and patted Alice's diaper, and the little guy immediately crawled towards Liu Yifei.
When Liu Yifei was a little nervous and picked up the fat baby Alice very carefully, Gadot raised her mobile phone to capture a photo.
"Can I post it on Twitter?" Gadot asked. Now that she is on leave from school at home, her greatest pleasure is to show off her baby. While the baby is still in a period of changing every day, there is no need to worry about posting it online.
Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment. Is this kind of relationship appropriate?
Later, she thought about it and realized that there was nothing inappropriate about it. This made her look very right.
Liu Yifei glanced at the photo again. Hmm, it was very cute. Both the big and small ones were cute. She nodded to indicate that it was okay.
On Weibo.
"Something big has happened. Xixi is trying to kidnap Director Quan's daughter!"
Some people who are interested in this posted Gadot's photo from Twitter and posted it online. They quickly attracted the target audience with a sensational title.
"The little girl in Sissi's arms is so cute!"
"Ah, this, this, is this really Director Quan's daughter?"
"Of course, this is the photo Gadot posted!"
"I never envy others in my life, but I envy Director Quan. His current girlfriend and ex-girlfriend get along so harmoniously."
"What a fuss, my ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend also get along harmoniously, after all, they are sisters."
"Who peed yellow, spit it out!"
The photo of Liu Yifei and Alice posted by Gadot caused a huge discussion in China, and the momentum was close to the popularity of the day when Liu Yifei was crowned queen two days ago.
However, the voice on the US Internet was not loud. On this day, the foreign Internet was completely dominated by a song, that is, the song "See you again" written and composed by Wang Quan, sung by Taylor Swift and Ouyang Jing, in memory of Taylor Lautner. The song became popular all over the Internet as soon as it was released. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify, and all websites were the most popular.
A few days later, in the new week, the song landed at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and in the second week, it topped the charts, and began a 12-week, three-month, unbreakable dominance!
When Liu Yifei returned to China, she was almost able to sing the song in full. During those days in the United States, she could hear the song everywhere. When she heard the song, she thought of the werewolf in Twilight.
And after returning to China, she could hear "Old Boy" by Chopstick Brothers everywhere. This is the most popular song in China at this stage, and it can even suppress Yang Mi's "Unforgiven", which is so terrifying.
Although Gadot is beautiful and Alice is cute, "Human Fireworks" will be released soon, and Liu Yifei has a lot of things to do when she returns to China.
The first thing to do is to be picked up by her boyfriend at the airport, and then show off her trophy to him in the car, and Wang Quan also showed her his Jiebao.
After being apart for so many days, the two couldn't wait to get home.
After returning home, they talked about work. Wang Quan told her, "The biggest competitors of your film are Zhang Yimou's "Under the Hawthorn Tree" last week, "Fist of Fury: The Legend of Chen Zhen" this week, and "Sword Rain" and "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" next week during the National Day holiday. They are all tough competitors. You must be mentally prepared."
Liu Yifei's requirements are not high. "We have sold almost 20 million overseas copyrights, so the cost is only 10 million. As long as the box office can reach 30 million, I will be satisfied without losing money to you. After all, it is an art film."
Liu Yifei only wants 30 million box office, but some people seem to be afraid. They have been talking about "Sword Rain" co-directed by Wu Yusen and Su Zhaobin. The promotional materials suddenly changed, and it became Su Zhaobin's director and Wu Yusen's producer.
This made Xu Ke very happy. In this way, the competitiveness of "Sword Rain" plummeted. The advantage is that if the box office fails, it can't be counted on Director Wu Yusen...
