Chapter 1045: Awards Ceremony of the Venazola International Film Festival (I) (12.15)
Back to Venazola. With a six-hour time difference, Qin Jue, who was far away in Onelia, followed his daughter's advice and spent an afternoon and a night peacefully, and woke up on the morning of the 26th.
Drones floated quietly in the air. Qin Jue passed by them as he walked to the bathroom, turned his face and smiled at the camera.
The awards ceremony officially started at 8 o'clock tonight, but before that, the entrance ceremony alone was quite long. Interviews and socializing are not to be mentioned, and walking on the red carpet is also a top priority. Just the clothing style must be well prepared.
It is not suitable to show up at home at the moment, so Qin Jue simply asked Sen Ran to help record the whole process from preparation to the end of the ceremony. Based on her past experience, no matter how many comforting words there are, it is not as good as a solid video material. Many of her friends are more worried about whether she has been affected, whether she is living well, and whether her mood has deteriorated than the disputes outside. In this case, Qin Jue gave them the most stable response.
After a quick shower, Baili's knock on the door sounded just right. Qin Jue shouted "Come in", pushed his still wet hair back, and hastily covered himself with a hotel towel and lowered his head to eat the breakfast brought by Baili.
After a while, the familiar scene reappeared. Shen Zhenzhen and others entered the room with makeup bags and hair dryers. The mask of pain appeared on Qin Jue's face for two seconds, and finally turned into a serious expression.
"Come on, leave it to you." She nodded gently and smiled again, "Why are you all more nervous than me?"
"It's hard not to be nervous-" Shen Zhenzhen took out the fill light and portable makeup mirror from her bag while wailing softly, "I have repeated countless times before coming here, 'Don't shake your hands'."
"I testify, it's all true." Song Zhihan nodded beside him.
Qin Jue laughed out loud.
"Just let it go. Sometimes the more you want to achieve something, the harder it is to catch the state when doing it." She said.
"Indeed." Shen Zhenzhen was mixing the liquid foundation. "But that being said, how come you are not nervous at all, boss?"
"Having a nomination is already a huge profit, I am not greedy." Qin Jue said calmly.
"What a great determination, I envy you." Shen Zhenzhen sighed and started to put on makeup.
This time, the makeup took an unusually long time, which can be said to be the "slow work makes fine work" to the extreme. Shen Zhenzhen had been cramming for a while on the red carpet makeup, so she was quite experienced and also understood her boss's preferences. The main focus was a refreshing look, and she boldly let Qin Jue's superior bone structure and facial features show the effect, eliminating all the dirty and oily mess that heavy makeup might show under the light.
Unlike the makeup of the previous dinner, this time the style is more restrained. The aggression and oppression between Qin Jue's eyebrows and eyes have been reduced a bit, and the facial lines are clean and neat. The whole face looks handsome and elegant, like the bamboo fan unique to Longzhou. At first glance, it only feels quiet and elegant. If it is not actively exposed, it is hard to imagine that it has a fierce side as a weapon in the hand.
While Shen Zhenzhen was styling Qin Jue's hair, Baili returned with Zhan Xin and Shi Meng, all of them holding exquisite packaging bags.
Qin Jue caught a glimpse of the cursive words "Vintage" and couldn't help laughing: "It was delivered quickly."
"Huh?" Song Zhihan, who was helping, subconsciously made a puzzled sound. Qin Jue explained to her and the ladies who would watch the video in the future: "It's a brand, and it just happened to be an endorsement."
Song Zhihan's eyes lit up: "Great!"
"Well, you pick first, and see how to match it after changing clothes." Qin Jue said and tilted his head back to make it easier for Shen Zhenzhen to continue blowing her hair.
Everyone present was busy for a while, and after another half an hour, Qin Jue finally left the makeup mirror with a finished makeup and hairstyle, and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Zhan Xin and Shi Meng were not responsible for the clothes for the award ceremony. Mr. He prepared one for her, and the one at home also prepared one for her.
This trip to the EU Federation of Oneria was for the International Film Festival. The film "Daytime Rain" that Qin Jue participated in was the first film in which she officially starred as the protagonist. Not only did she gain valuable guidance and acting experience from it, but she also broke through the shackles of her heart and reconciled with herself during the filming process. All aspects were of great significance. Now, Qin Jue followed He Xu, the "rational" director and "emotional" grandfather, to the Venazola Film Festival, and was about to participate in the final highlight. The latter thoughtfully prepared a dress for her.
In terms of emotion and reason, Qin Jue of course-
chose Cheng Zheng's suit.
...Ahem.
Qin Jue changed her clothes and looked in the mirror.
A little guilty, but she would dare to do it next time.
She shamelessly adjusted the hem of her coat and walked out the door. As soon as she appeared, she caused a stunning gasp and sigh.
The smoky grey long suit jacket that ends at the thigh is straight and slightly draped. The black "vest" lining is a lapels and metal button design, which cleverly combines the beauty of formal wear from the East and the West. The innermost dragon country-style shirt is a traditional cross collar, which is slim and elegant. The overall style is not strange but "strange", unique and outstanding, reserved but not arrogant, and has a calm and solemn style that is absolutely suitable for important occasions. Others' eyes are enough to attract attention when they glance at it hastily, and they can't help but look at it repeatedly.
Zhan Xin, holding the jewelry box in his arms, looked at it carefully for a long time, and really couldn't find what needed to be supplemented. In the end, he only added a single-sided double-layer decorative pocket watch chain for Qin Jue. One end of the chain was immersed in the suit jacket, and the other end was fixed on the side abdomen. The unique pendant was attached to the end, shaking slightly.
It’s not the finishing touch, but it’s the icing on the cake.
Shi Meng was very picky and chose a retro mechanical watch for Qin Jue, and three rings, two on the right hand and one on the left hand, without trying to attract attention.
After all this, it was already afternoon. Qin Jue asked his makeup team, who had been busy for a long time, to go to dinner first, and he left the room to meet He Xu and others.
Before going downstairs, they met in the elevator. He Xu glanced at Qin Jue quickly, understood, and rolled his eyes immediately. Qin Jue put on a flattering smile, and He Xu snorted, but didn’t say anything, with an expression of "I can’t stand you young people" on his face.
The group arrived at the restaurant in the hotel, and most of them pretended to have a meal. With the dress on, screenwriter Mu Sisi and the producer Lu Qianshan dared not eat too much, and soup was even more inconvenient to drink. In the end, Qin Jue had a normal appetite, which made Lu Qianshan look at her frequently, not knowing whether he was worried or envious.
After the meal, he digested the food and listened to He Xu's assistant confirm the process again. When he got into the car, it was exactly 3 pm local time in Venazola. Many tourists and audiences could be seen through the car window along the way.
Unlike the domestic Golden Plum Awards, which usually blocks enthusiastic fans a hundred meters away, the Venazola International Film Festival is more relaxed in this regard. A long cordon was drawn opposite the venue, and security guards were deployed every ten meters to maintain order. A considerable number of media and fans surged behind the line, cheering from time to time because of the appearance of a certain star.
The driver slowly drove the private car into the parking spot. Lu Qianshan helped Mu Sisi, whose skirt was a little complicated. Qin Jue thought that if he reached out to help He Xu, he might get angry. Thinking so, he still reached out his hand, and sure enough, He Xu slapped it away with a little force, so he couldn't help laughing.
"Not nervous at all, right?" He Xu looked at her angrily and amusedly.
Qin Jue nodded honestly: "It's worth the trip."
He Xu snorted and said:
"If you are, it doesn't matter if you have more spirit and ambition."
Qin Jue responded with a smile.
She, Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi followed He Xu to the venue. The award ceremony venue of the Venazola International Film Festival had red carpets inside and outside the venue. The outside was particularly generous, with wide and gorgeous red carpets everywhere. Microphones and speakers were set up not far away, and there were also off-site hosts and cameramen. Guests attending the ceremony were either interviewed, chatting briefly, or not in a hurry to enter the venue, gathering in groups of three or two to socialize and chat. There were also artists who were obviously singers and actors who took the initiative to walk to the fans behind the cordon amid the surrounding cheers, shaking hands and signing autographs.
In order to facilitate the media to take pictures and avoid disturbing the shots of others, Lu Qianshan and Mu Sisi followed He Xu's instructions and kept a distance from each other. There was a strange excitement and loneliness when they really walked onto the huge red carpet. Qin Jue savored this taste and included it in his emotional material.
She walked slowly towards the door of the venue. Qin Jue had just started his acting career and was in a foreign country. Besides, the entire trip to Venazola was kept secret. Qin Jue didn't think anyone would recognize him. He just wanted to stay in good shape so that the drone could take more pleasant pictures for his friends. However, he caught some shouts with his keen ears.
"Zayde!!!"
Several different voices were shouting in succession or overlapping, and they were shouting very hard.
Qin Jue turned her head in surprise. Her excellent listening and positioning skills allowed her to look at the source of the sound accurately in an instant.
There were five or six young boys who squeezed to the front of the cordon. Most of them were tall and strong. The guy surrounded by them was relatively easy to recognize. He was thin and small, with reddish-brown hair. At this time, he opened his mouth in surprise - he seemed to realize that he and Qin Jue were in the same line of sight.
Seeing Qin Jue turn around, the group of young men became even more excited. Some shouted, some waved vigorously with their height advantage, and some waved scribbled cardboards with "Zayde Chin" and "Qin Jue" on them. The two Chinese characters were obviously copied from others, and they were a little crooked, but generally recognizable.
They were desperately trying to attract Qin Jue's attention, even if it was just a glance.
After thinking about it, Qin Jue walked over there.
The small group of voices suddenly rose, and the roars with full energy and a bit of duck voice were particularly powerful, more eye-catching than the girls' screams. The surrounding media and other audiences subconsciously looked over and found that this was a meeting between fanatical fans and their favorite stars, but who was that male star?
"Hey, look over there, so handsome!"
The blonde girl with a camera hanging around her neck excitedly nudged her good friend with her elbow, "I don't recognize his face, he seems to be from Longzhou, but he's so handsome!"
"Really? - Wow!"
Qin Jue suddenly attracted much attention due to his handsome appearance that was different from Western faces and his well-cut and distinctive Longguo-style formal suit. She had not restrained her presence too much since she got off the car. At this moment, she had to mobilize her aura again to "compete" with the gazes cast at her, which caused a greater commotion. The passers-by crowded near the group of boys couldn't help but start shouting. This corner outside the venue suddenly became extremely hot, and its noise level was no less than that of a veteran actor who had just been interviewed not long ago.
"Zayde! Zayde!"
The shouts of the teenagers gradually stopped until Qin Jue approached. Seeing that Qin Jue was getting closer and closer to the cordon, they cheered passionately. Some of them pressed the shoulders of the reddish-brown-haired boy and shook them excitedly, while others gently pushed his back to encourage him. At the same time, they also deliberately blocked the hands of the people around Qin Jue, as if they were determined to escort him, and tried their best to make this thin guy the first person to talk to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue stopped in front of them.
"Hi?" She smiled in surprise and looked at the boy who was surrounded by the boys in the center and pushed to the front.
"Uh, hello!"
The freckles on both sides of the boy's nose seemed to blush along with his cheeks, "Hello! Zayde!"
"Hello. Forgive me for only knowing this one sentence in Oneilian... What's your name?" Qin Jue switched to English and asked.
The boy's dark brown eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked like he was about to faint with excitement.
"My name is Colton Horne!"
