In addition to the incident in "The Condor", there is another strange thing, which is about a movie Jiang Xiao made, which is "Curiosity Killed the Cat".

This film was produced relatively quickly. Editing and post-production have been completed, and development and printing work is scheduled to begin in August.

As a result, a worker surnamed Zhao in the North Washing Factory was so awesome that he refused to be printed on the grounds that some of the scenes between Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, and Song Jia exceeded the standard.

That's fine. What's even more awesome is that the worker named Zhao directly withheld the film negatives.

The producer was naturally dumbfounded when he learned about this, and went to discuss it, but was still rejected. Even the director of the factory came forward to explain that ten years ago, the worker named Zhao was punished for developing a similar film.

Therefore, he refused to develop and print "Curiosity Killed the Cat" and forcibly withheld the negatives.

In desperation, the producer had no choice but to go to the department in charge of the film. When the relevant person in charge arrived, without saying a word, he directly sent a fax to Bei Xi, stating that the film had passed the relevant procedures.

As a result, the worker surnamed Zhao, because the fax might be fake, still refused to develop and print the film, and continued to withhold the film.

In the end, the person in charge of the film department personally made a call to the director of the Northern Printing Factory. After several negotiations, the film was taken back and transferred to the Shanghai Printing and Printing Factory.

Originally, this matter should have ended like this, but the worker named Zhao secretly withheld the content that was considered to be beyond the standard and refused to return it again.

It wasn't until the end of the month that, after many struggles, the producer finally got all the negatives back.

The whole process was also full of twists and turns. This was definitely the first time in the domestic film industry. Just in time for "Curiosity Killed the Cat" to catch up, it was just bad luck.

If the heads of the film department hadn't been involved, they might have thought this was a hype ploy by the producer.

And this incident also highlights the essence of some things.

It does not seem to be a factory for business purposes. Although the worker named Zhao was involved, there was obviously the factory's tacit approval behind it. Otherwise, how could it be so casual?

Of course, although the movie is about Jiang Xiao, these bad things have nothing to do with him, so they can only be viewed as news.

Putting all this aside, he had just finished filming "33 Days After Love" and had no time to rest at all, because he would soon be involved in other work.

For example, together with Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Huang Xiaoming, we shot for a magazine, Fashion Bashar.

October is the 20th anniversary of this magazine in China, and the four "Night Banquet Gang" will appear on the cover together.

In the end, it took a full day of work and interviews with each other before all the filming work was completed.

The style is mainly casual. After changing more than a dozen sets of clothes, I finally chose a black jacket and gray sweater, paired with jeans. The calm and youthful coexistence will be the photo that will appear on the cover.

Of course, although other styles will not be used on the cover, some will still be placed on the inside pages.

Another funny thing is, isn't Master Huang currently filming "The Deer and the Cauldron", so he shaved his head.

For the magazine shoot, I ended up wearing a wig.

You may not be able to tell much from the photos taken, but once you know the truth, you will definitely shed tears and make you laugh.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi are also secretly competing with each other, which is really a good drama.

In this regard, Jiang Xiao naturally could only pretend that he didn't see it. One of them had a good relationship with him and the other was her schoolmate. What else could he say.

After finishing working on the magazine, Jiang Xiao is preparing to go abroad again, to the "water city" Venice to participate in the film festival.

There is no shortlisted work, and he will not walk on the red carpet, because he will not walk on the red carpet of the opening ceremony or the closing ceremony.

I will only walk the red carpet of "The Banquet". This movie will have its premiere there, which is essentially to promote and sell the film.

Just like the previous Cannes Film Festival at the end of May, Feng Xiaogang had already taken Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun there and showed a short clip, which was also for the purpose of promoting and selling the film.

No, Huayi at that time also claimed that it had sold copyrights to many countries.

The thing may be true, but there is a sneaky change of concept. It is obvious that it is only a temporary intention, but not a final deal. Regret is also a matter of an instant.

Speaking of going back to Venice, Jiang Xiao was reluctant to make such a trip, but it was the premiere of "The Night Banquet" after all, and he couldn't have a good excuse like Uncle Ge like "I won't fly even if I die".

Even though I have avoided Cannes, I still haven’t avoided Venice, so I’ll treat it as a trip.

In this way, on the afternoon of September 2nd, he flew to his destination with the crew of "The Night Banquet".

The only other actors in the group are Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun. Needless to say, Uncle Ge and Huang Xiaoming's role are not high, so it doesn't matter whether they come or not.

Just like last time at Cannes, the other party also didn't go. After all, "The Banquet" was not a shortlisted film.

Hurrying slowly, when we finally arrived in Venice, it was already late at night. No one said anything, they checked into the hotel and started to rest.

When Jiang Xiao woke up, it was already 8:30 the next morning.

After having breakfast with others, everyone began to rush to prepare for the 11 o'clock press conference.

Feng Xiaogang was busy communicating and making arrangements. Needless to say, Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi were female stars, so they naturally had to dress up well.

Jiang Xiao himself had nothing to dress up. He never put on makeup and just put on the clothes he had prepared in advance. In fact, when he got up, he had already put them on in advance.

So after breakfast, Jiang Xiao had nothing to do for a while, like an outsider, thinking about whether to go back to the room and take a nap or something.

But even after he woke up, he finally gave up the idea.

After thinking about it for a while, he walked out of the hotel alone, planning to go out for a walk.

Venice, the water city, has been here, but I still want to see it. I arrived late at night yesterday, so naturally I didn’t see anything along the way.

It's also a pity that he doesn't have anyone to play with him.

Speaking of which, Gao Yuanyuan will also come to the film festival. Just like he attended the premiere of "The Night Banquet", he will also come to attend the premiere of "Baby Project", but the time is on the 8th, so he did not fly over in advance.

Therefore, I missed an opportunity to travel to Venice with Damei Yuan.

If he wasn't busy, Jiang Xiaodao could stay for a few more days.

However, on August 30th, "The Night Banquet" has already started pre-release screenings in Yangcheng, and as of today, the 3rd, it will continue to be screened in Hangzhou.

Then go to Fengtian on the 6th, Chang'an on the 8th, and the last stop, Beijing, on the 9th, where the domestic premiere will be held.

After that, I will definitely go to a promotional event.

In this way, Jiang Xiao naturally has no time to wait in Venice for Gao Yuanyuan to come over and then travel together.

No matter how regretful it is, it can only be a regret.

Regardless of these things, after leaving the hotel, he went straight to rent a "gondola" pointed boat. He had no goal, so he asked the boat owner to take him around.

Then I have to say that when Jiang Xiao quietly experiences the "peculiar" Venice alone, he does feel a lot of freshness.

After all, "Water City" is considered the only one in the world.

I heard that the settled population here has actually been decreasing. It has been reduced by two-thirds compared to its peak. It is probably because the humidity is high and it is easy to get rheumatism. Uh...

Some people predict that Venice will disappear by 2100.

It seems that just this year, St. Mark's Square, which is famous for feeding pigeons, is flooded not once or twice a year.
