This year's Venice Film Festival is the 67th, and it officially opened on September 1st, but the creators of "Empire" did not go there in advance to attend the opening ceremony.

But on the 3rd, I flew from China to the water city of Venice.

However, Xu Ke and others flew directly from Xiangjiang, while Jiang Xiao flew directly from Beijing, and did not take the same flight.

In addition, Li Binbin, Huang Xiaoming, and Xiao Laowang were traveling with him.

In addition, each of them naturally brought an accompanying team, translator, makeup, styling, etc. Jiang Xiao also brought Jiang Yiguo, Luo Feifei, and his new assistant Ning Xutao, officially taking office.

After all, he still used this girl and contacted her brother. To his surprise, the Ning family did know about this and politely asked him to take care of her.

But Jiang Xiao always felt that Ning Xutao's brother was trying to shirk the blame. His words were nice, but there was a feeling of impatientness, which made him... feel that he should think more about it?

Due to the time difference and the need to change planes, by the time Jiang Xiao and his party arrived in Venice, it was already around 9pm local time.

In addition, because "Tongtian Empire" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, the official will arrange a hotel for the main creators, so they no longer have to pay for it themselves, unless they are their own entourage, in which case they need to pay for themselves.

You still have to pay for food and other things yourself. No, after meeting Xu Ke, Shi Nanshi and Liu Jialing who arrived in advance, Xiao Laowang, the main employer representative, planned to treat them.

The restaurant is naturally a Western restaurant, and the food is seafood. When you come to Venice, a city soaked in the sea, seafood is relatively convenient.

"Jiang Xiao, do you want this cuttlefish noodle? I heard that this is a very representative noodle in Wisney. Why don't you try it?"

"Brother Xiao Ming, please order it. I won't order it. This thing sounds like dark cuisine or something. And is the squid ink edible?"

When they were ordering their dishes, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard the words of Leader Huang sitting next to him, and Jiang Xiao expressed doubts.

"You can eat it, otherwise there wouldn't be this noodles. I'm quite curious and want to try it."

Huang Xiaoming smiled. He was indeed curious and paid attention to this because he heard it from a friend before he came here.

"Then you order, and I'll order something else."

If Master Huang has such curiosity, Jiang Xiao will definitely not stop him.

In this way, he and the others soon had something to eat, and the waiter also served the wine. The little old Wang who was treating the guests stood up immediately, picked up the wine glass and said: "This is

Everyone has worked hard to attend the film festival this time, so I’ll give you a toast first.”

Seeing this, everyone including Jiang Xiao naturally stood up and clinked their glasses in a gesture of respect to Little Lao Wang.

After all, he is the main investor. If others take the initiative to propose a toast, they must still agree.

After finishing, everyone went to chat with the people around them, waiting for the good things to be served.

No, Leader Huang took the initiative to congratulate him and said: "Congratulations to you, Jiang Xiao, your new movie is a hit. I went to see it and was shocked. It is indeed a Hollywood blockbuster."

"Thank you, that's okay. After all, I'm just a supporting role."

Jiang Xiao is really not modest. No matter how good the box office of "Inception" is, he is definitely not the one who plays a key role.

Even without him, the domestic box office would have been slightly worse at most, so he really has nothing to be proud of.

Jiang Xiao didn't really want to talk about this anymore, so he simply asked Leader Huang, "What is Brother Xiao Ming busy with recently?"

"I'm leaving Huayi at the end of the year, so I don't have much work to do. I only attend some business events."

Suddenly lowering his voice and glancing at the little old queen not far away, Huang Xiaoming explained his situation.

"Really? Are you ready to set up your own studio?"

It was just a casual chat anyway, so even though it wasn't that strange, Jiang Xiao asked a question in cooperation.

"Yes, I will have to rely on myself from now on. I'll be honest. If Lemon needs actors in the future, I hope we can work together."

There was nothing to be vague about, Huang Xiaoming himself expressed his thoughts.

After all, all of Jiang Xiao's company's works are selling well, so if he can participate in them, it will naturally be a good choice for him.

"There, Lemon would naturally be willing to cooperate with Brother Xiao Ming if there is a chance."

Jiang Xiao still has to say what he wants to say about the scene.

If there is a suitable opportunity, cooperation is not impossible. Even with Huang Jiaozhu's acting skills... you can also consider variety shows and the like.

In short, while chatting like this, the things ordered came one after another. Jiang Xiao also saw the so-called cuttlefish noodles, uh...

What should I say?

It's like a bowl of noodles mixed with coal ash, at least the way it looks is that you don't really want to eat it.

It also caused Li Binbin, who was originally chatting with Liu Jialing, to be inadvertently attracted and said: "Xiao Ming, what did you order this black paste? It looks a bit unappetizing?"

"You're right, Hama Bin. This is cuttlefish noodles. I heard people say it's a very classic food here in Venice, so I ordered it to try."

Huang Xiaoming himself, who has a somewhat bitter face, actually has some regrets about the cuttlefish noodles in front of him, and even feels like he was deliberately tricked by his friends.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, you ordered cuttlefish noodles? This noodle is all black and mushy after you eat it, haha, but the taste is actually not bad, you can try it."

Liu Jialing, who was also attracted and had seen cuttlefish noodles before, also smiled and helped popularize the knowledge.

"Sister Jia Ling, I feel a little regretful, but I ordered everything, so let's give it a try!"

Everyone looked at him when he saw it. Huang Xiaoming, who wanted to save face, could only pick up a fork and roll a forkful of cuttlefish noodles. After taking a final look, he finally tried to eat it.

Then, because the taste was really good, he subconsciously said: "Well, it tastes good, you can eat it."

"Pfft!"

When Huang Xiaoming said something good and inadvertently raised his head, Jiang Xiao, whose first wife was paying attention, or Li Binbin, or Liu Jialing, all laughed out loud in the next second.

It soon attracted Xu Ke, Xiao Lao Wang and others who were far away to look over, obviously not understanding what was going on.

But soon, when almost everyone saw Huang Xiaoming, who was full of sarcastic remarks, they all laughed out loud after reacting.

Finally, Xu Ke couldn't help but smile and asked: "Xiao Ming, you look like you've been poisoned. What did you eat?"

"Director Xu, it's cuttlefish noodles. It tastes pretty good. If you don't mind that it doesn't look good, you can order one to try."

Everyone's reaction made Huang Xiaoming realize that his eating posture was definitely not very good-looking, so he simply entertained himself and jokingly invited Xu Ke to try it too.

"If you young people dare to try these new things, I'll forget it, ha!"

Xu Ke, who heard this, decisively chose to refuse.

All in all, because of an unexpected episode, the atmosphere of the dinner became quite cheerful, and everyone who was tired from traveling had a little more fun.

After returning to the hotel, it was really not too early, and everyone in the group went back to their rooms to rest.
Chapter completed!
