San Sebastian is a city in northeastern Spain close to the French border. It has beautiful scenery. Not many people in China may have heard of it, but it is a seaside resort that Europeans prefer.

Jiang Xiao appeared in this city in late September, not for anything else, nor for vacation, but because "Li Mi's Conjecture" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the San Sebastian Film Festival, so he

Just came here.

However, he came relatively late, only arriving last night, but tonight is when the award ceremony will be finally announced.

Director Cao Baoping, Zhou Xun, Wang Ning, Wang Baoqiang, and Wang Yanhui arrived earlier.

Obviously, that’s right. There is also a film festival here in San Sebastian called the San Sebastian International Film Festival. In the future, Fan Binbin will become a movie queen here, and with a lot of press releases, many ordinary people will be disappointed.

The general public is also aware of this film festival.

It's just a pity that there are three famous film festivals in Europe. Although San Sebastian is also a Category A international film festival, in front of the three big brothers, I can only be a little brother who wants to talk but can't.

kind.

In fact, there are quite a few domestic filmmakers who have won awards here. For example, Ning Jing was the first to win Best Actress here. Chen Kaige, Zhang Yang, and Xu Jinglei also won Best Director, including Zhang Yang twice.

There is also Liu Peiqi from Pechi Benqi, who also won the Best Actor here, and even Lao Mouzi served as the chairman of the jury for one term.

Therefore, although ordinary people do not know much about this place, people in the industry still pay some attention to it.

Putting aside these, taking advantage of the fact that the award ceremony would be held in the evening, Jiang Xiao refused all media interviews that morning, and then sneaked out of the hotel with Zhao Liying and Bai Yingzhen, planning to visit San Sebastian.

.

When he came here, he really had a vacation mentality. He really didn't care that much whether he won a prize or not.

In short, based on the principle of proximity, the three of them came to San Sebastian Bay, which is probably the most famous place in San Sebastian.

The conditions of this bay are indeed very good. There is a small island blocking the entrance, which makes the entire bay look calm.

With blue sea and blue sky, white sandy beach and walking barefoot, it is definitely a good choice to relax yourself.

If it weren't for the fact that it was during the film festival and the domestic media would also come over, it would be a romantic thing to lead the girl and dive one foot deep into the shallows to leave a series of footprints.

But there is nothing you can do about being a public figure. While you gain a lot, you always have to lose something.

What should be focused on is the work, not the artist's private life. The ideas are beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Obviously, for countless ordinary melon-eating people, gossip seems to be more attractive, and it can invisibly satisfy the prying heart that everyone may have.

"Hey, Jiang Da Handsome Guy couldn't find you at the hotel. So he's sneaking here?"

"Hey, why are you looking for me, Sister Xun? You should be looking for Da Qi? Also, I am walking on the beach openly, why do I become sneaky when I come into your mouth?"

At a certain moment, Jiang Xiao, who was quarreling with Bai Yingzhen, suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind. When he subconsciously turned around, he saw Zhou Xun and his assistant and translator.

His reaction was not slow and he rushed back on the spot.

It feels like every time I see Mr. Zhou not quarreling with each other, it feels like there is something uncomfortable. It has become a habit to quarrel with each other.

"Hey, sneaking out without saying hello is not called sneaking?"

After rolling his eyes, Zhou Xun showed no signs of weakness.

"I have said hello to Director Cao, is it possible that I want to hit you again?"

Jiang Xiao, who chuckled lightly, also made a pun.

"It's boring. The awards are about to be given tonight. Why are you not nervous at all? It's like you're fine."

Zhou Xun, who is always prone to giving up due to criticism, directly changed the topic as usual.

"Let's just award it. Do you still need to be nervous? Are you so worried about gains and losses? The Best Actress has also won a lot, can you calm down a little bit?"

"You know in a film festival like this, if the organizer hints that the crew will stay, it means there will definitely be awards. I can't expect to win an international performance award?"

"Okay, then I wish you a young woman with pursuits and ideals."

Indeed, the three major European film festivals all have an unwritten tradition to avoid leaving no one to accept awards. As the film festival draws to a close, some hints will be given.

Of course, the suspense still needs to be retained, and you won’t really have to indicate in advance what award you will win.

"It's so harsh. You are the Golden Rooster, the Golden Statue, and the Golden Horse Grand Slam Best Actor. You are a promising young man."

Following Jiang Xiao's words, Zhou Xun responded directly.

"I don't think it's harsh, so it's not bad for me to be a promising young man. Hey, Sister Xun, how about taking a photo with me, a promising young man, here?"

Not wanting to talk any more about winning or not winning the award, Jiang Xiao simply invited Zhou Xun to take a photo with him.

"Okay, you, a promising young man, have already opened your mouth. How can a little girl refuse so easily?"

After seeing this, Zhou Xun himself naturally had no objection to Jiang Xiao's proposal.

Speaking of which, after tonight's award ceremony, she would leave to return to China tomorrow. She had originally intended to go shopping with Jiang Xiao here, but she couldn't find anyone at the hotel before.

Fortunately, the hotel itself is near the bay. Some people guessed that she would come to the beach to try her luck. Apparently, she actually met her. From a distance, she saw the figures of someone and two girls wandering on the beach, which was quite eye-catching.

"Okay, let's face the sea and compete together!"

After giving Bai Yingzhen a sign to take a photo, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to grab Zhou Xun and enthusiastically invited him to compete with him.

…………

As noon approached, Jiang Xiao and his group naturally found a nearby restaurant with a nice environment and a view of the entire bay to eat.

It’s also indispensable to order some special foods from Spain, such as paella, which is similar to Northeastern stew, where shrimps, crabs, clams, oysters, squid and other seafood are cooked with rice.

The taste can only be said to be okay. As far as Jiang Xiao himself is concerned, he can only give this evaluation.

Another dish of Iberian ham made him think it would be better. A thin and translucent slice was eaten raw with bread, so that he could experience the original flavor of the ham.

Then take another sip of fruit wine to satisfy your taste buds.

Others, steamed Basque cod with garlic sauce, milk rice porridge, potato bread, etc., I also tried them all.

But I don’t know if Jiang Xiao’s taste has been influenced by him, but I feel that these Spanish foods are just like this.

Perhaps more likely, as a Chinese, Chinese food is his pursuit.

Anyway, he is not the kind of person who can still feel high-end when eating Western food. In fact, he would rather complain more.

…………

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the closing red carpet ceremony of the San Sebastian Film Festival officially kicked off at the Cinema Palace.

Waves of local Spanish stars and some European filmmakers attended the event in costumes. Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao was a bit "ignorant" and basically didn't know anyone.

The crew of "Li Mi's Conjecture" appeared together on the red carpet. From Jiang Xiao, who was wearing a dark blue suit, to Cao Baoping, Zhou Xun, Wang Ning, Wang Baoqiang and others were naturally present.

Originally, he thought that walking quickly across the red carpet would be the end, but to his surprise, as soon as he appeared on the stage, he heard many foreign reporters on both sides of the red carpet shout: "Jiang, please look here, look.

This way.”

So do these reporters really know him?

When did he become famous and come here?

"Why?"

Jiang Xiao, who had just had such an idea, suddenly realized, could it be because of being the world champion?

In addition, Jiang Xiao really couldn't find any reason why foreign reporters would know him. It seems that the influence of the world sprint champion far exceeds his expectations.

No matter what, he didn't look flustered when he was suddenly exposed to this scene. He naturally stayed on the red carpet for a while and took photos for reporters.

As soon as this came out, other people in the "Li Mi's Conjecture" crew looked at Jiang Xiao one after another, and they all quickly thought of the Olympics.

All I can say is that this man is really a genius. Not only has he won awards for his acting, but he also suddenly became a world champion.
