Without any "adventures", and he didn't dare to run too far, Jiang Xiao barely finished seeing Venice. He calculated the time and returned to the hotel in advance, and joined the others in "The Night Banquet".

Zhou Xun, who was familiar with him and was dressed in a grass-green dress, came over and asked softly: "Hey, Jiang Xiao, why did you come back from outside? Where did you go?"

"I didn't go there. I took a gondola and walked around casually. It was my first time in Venice and I was a little curious."

There was naturally nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so Jiang Xiao told the truth.

"Together, what to share?"

Zhou Xun, who didn't hear clearly, asked again.

"Gondola, the contribution is huge, it can be pulled open, it is the kind of small boat with pointed ends that are tilted out. People who come here to travel will usually try it."

Seeing that Zhou Xun didn't seem to understand much, Jiang Xiao explained a little bit.

"Oh, it's a boat. I thought it was something. You are so laid-back. You can even sneak out and take a walk at this time."

Zhou Xun was quite envious of Jiang Xiao's relaxed state.

"As long as you want to, I think you can do it too."

It was just a film festival, Jiang Xiao felt there was no need to go overboard with it, not to mention that "The Banquet" was not a shortlisted film, so how could he have any expectations for awards.

"Forget it, I can't learn from you in this state."

Zhou Xun shook his head and suddenly realized that maybe the reason for Jiang Xiao's good acting skills was here, he had a super strong mentality.

"Okay, everyone, pay attention. The press conference will start soon. Let's go there first!"

Soon, before Jiang Xiao could continue to respond to Zhou Xun's words, not far away, Feng Xiaogang, who was chatting with Zhang Ziyi, suddenly greeted him.

Seeing this, he and Zhou Xun naturally stopped talking and walked over together.

…………

It's eleven o'clock sharp in the morning.

In the relevant venue, the "Night Banquet" press conference was officially held.

The whole scene was a bit deserted. There were not many reporters coming, and many of them were probably mainland reporters.

The time was not long, only about ten minutes, and Jiang Xiaodu only answered a question: "What kind of role will he play in "The Banquet"?"

Others are basically focused on director Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi.

Needless to say, the director is the core of a work, regardless of whether Xiaogangpao is well-known here.

As for the latter, he is still somewhat well-known internationally. Unlike him and Zhou Xun, in the eyes of foreign media, he is probably just an actor from China, who does not even deserve to have a name.

In short, after this routine and boring press conference, several people returned to the hotel and began to accept interviews with media from various countries.

However, it is basically still dominated by domestic media.

No, a reporter from Xinlang found him and prepared to conduct a private interview.

The location was chosen on the balcony, where you can see a beach in the distance and the sea beyond.

After they sat down with each other, Jiang Xiao soon heard the slightly chubby male reporter wearing glasses say: "Hello Jiang Xiao, thank you for accepting the interview with our Xinlang.com, let me say a few words to the netizens first.

Say hello!”

"Okay, dear netizens of Xinlang.com, hello everyone, my name is Jiang Xiao. I am very happy to meet you here in Venice."

Without saying anything, Jiang Xiao quickly waved to the camera and said hello.

"Is this your first time here in Venice?"

The reporter who saw this took advantage of the situation and asked the first question.

"Yes, the first time."

"So how do you feel?"

"It's quite new. I only heard the name and saw the pictures before, but now I have seen the real Venice. It is very beautiful, like an Italian beauty, Monica Bellucci."

"Oh, that's a very interesting description. If you could describe your impression of Venice in one sentence, what would you say?"

"I would say, the city has a lot of water, ha!"

Jiang Xiao smiled, almost blurting out such a sentence.

"Well...there is indeed a lot of water."

Such a simple description made the reporter stifled for a moment.

I feel like there is a problem there, but I can't find out where the problem is. It really hurts my head.

In any case, he finally changed the question and asked: "Have you watched the entire film of "The Night Banquet" in advance?"

“I haven’t seen it yet, I’ve only seen some promotional videos.”

Naturally, the "Night Banquet" in his memory was not included. He had indeed not seen the version in which Jiang Xiao starred.

But there must not be much difference, after all, the script has not changed, and the plot has not changed. The only thing is that one character has changed, so it does not affect the overall result.

"From the perspective of the promotional video, what do you think of "The Night Banquet"?"

"The picture is beautiful and exquisite. It will be a visual enjoyment."

This is probably the only successful aspect of "The Night Banquet", and Jiang Xiao can only praise it in this way.

"Okay, I also want to ask, you seem to have filmed a new movie recently, right? Can you reveal some information?"

I couldn't ask too many questions about "Night Banquet", so the reporter asked other questions instead.

"Yes, it's a love movie called "33 Days After Love". It's about finding true love again after falling out of love."

"It may sound cliché, but the way the movie is expressed is very novel, and it can be regarded as a subversion of love movies."

Given the opportunity, Jiang Xiao would naturally not mind promoting "33 Days of Love".

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

Although Jiang Xiao was suspected of being a peddler and bragging about herself, the reporter still felt somewhat curious after hearing the other party describe her in this way.

"That's all I can say for now. After the movie is released, you can go and see it in person. I believe your experience will be deeper and you will definitely be surprised."

If everything was revealed at once, there would be no surprises left. Jiang Xiao would naturally not do such a thing.

"Well, I hope I can see it soon. By the way, I read reports some time ago. The heroine of this movie is Gao Yuanyuan, right? Your relationship seems to have always been very good. So is she your type?"

"Ha, I won't discuss personal issues here, thank you!"

Gossip is indeed a reporter's nature, but Jiang Xiao chose not to answer.

""The Night Banquet" is about to be released. Do you want to say something to your movie fans?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiao didn't want to say more, the reporter couldn't ask any more questions, and it happened to be almost time, so he ended the interview.

…………

It's night, almost nine forty-five.

The red carpet ceremony of the Venice premiere of "The Night Banquet" officially kicked off.

Zhou Xun, who was wearing a black skirt, was the first to appear, Jiang Xiao, who was wearing a black suit, was second, Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing a peach skirt, was third, and Feng Xiaogang was last.

Naturally, he and Zhou Xun did not cause much reaction. Only some domestic media called out their names.

Zhang Ziyi became much more famous, received a lot of cheers, and even the film festival banquets knelt down on the red carpet.

He really knelt on the ground. This cook named Marco Müller was really good at cooking.

The international Zhang smiled like a narcissus and couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. In some aspects, he was probably very satisfied mentally.

After all, it is obviously impossible for this kind of thing to be planned in advance, so that Zhang Ziyi can have a topic for speculation. It is probably because the old man Marco Muller really appreciates the latter.

Anyway, at the end of the red carpet, Jiang Xiao stood like a green leaf, standing in the middle, gently holding Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi on the left and right, making it easier for the media to take pictures.

After Feng Xiaogang also came over, together with Marco Muller, the group continued to take photos together, and then the red carpet ceremony, which lasted less than ten minutes, ended.

We began to walk into the screening hall, and at ten o'clock, the screening of the main film of "The Night Banquet" officially began.

The first shot is still the same as in my memory, it is a shot of the silver pit bamboo forest under heaven.

And the first actor to appear, the audience would never have imagined that the person under the mask would be Tan Dun, who won the Oscar for Best Original Score.

Only Jiang Xiao, who had filmed in Tianxia Yinkeng, and a few people knew this.

Soon, as the plot on the big screen continued to advance, Jiang Xiao discovered that although the prince was replaced by him, the overall situation was no different from the "Night Banquet" in his memory, and it was also the same as his previous guess.

There are no expectations or surprises for him. No matter how good his acting skills are, he can't seem to save the story.

The soul of Western stories, when applied to an Eastern background, seems to have gone astray from the beginning.

It will make all the viewers feel that it is neither Chinese nor Western.
