Chapter 92 Eating Mouth

"Click click click"

Along the Marconi Boulevard, flashbulbs kept going off on the long red carpet.

Reporters on both sides craned their necks and squeezed forward desperately. The red carpet host stood at the back with a microphone, glanced at the list with his bright green eyes, and then his clear male voice rang out.

"Next, please welcome the cast and crew of the main competition film 'Brokeback Mountain,' and especially the director—Ang Lee!"

"Welcome to the cast and crew of 'Brokeback Mountain': Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, and Anne Hathaway!"

At the start of the red carpet, an elderly Asian man was being led out by Anne, who was holding his arm as they walked, waving as they went.

The appearance of several handsome men behind the two drew screams from the crowd.

"Ahhh! Heath Ledger is so handsome!"

In the waiting area for the red carpet, Gong Li looked at Chen Zhixi with her eyes crinkled, her gaze filled with the affection one might have for a younger sister.

This female producer, who is usually quite serious when filming, was now jumping up and down with excitement.

"Sister Gong, right? Right? He's so handsome."

Gong Li nodded gracefully without speaking, but Huang Bo leaned in with a crooked grin and said, "Sister Xi, I think he's not as handsome as Director Ye!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Zhixi glared at Huang Bo and said confidently, "Even if Chongdi were here, he would still shout 'Wow, so handsome!' when he sees Heath Ledger!"

(Ye Chong: Ah, right, right! So cool, so cool!)

"Hey, Gong Li!"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from behind them. When they turned around, they saw a middle-aged woman wearing an elegant cheongsam.

"Sister Shi?"

"Hmm." Shi Nansheng nodded, looking like she was forty years old despite being fifty.

Before Gong Li could speak, Shi Nansheng turned around and shouted, "Master Xu! This way!"

This shout attracted a lot of attention. The waiting area could hold about two hundred people, and there were even more Chinese film crews this time.

Before long, Tsui Hark arrived with a large group of people.

"Haha, you've found an old friend?"

Shi Nansheng nodded: "Yes, come on, it's been a long time since you two have seen each other."

"Director Xu." Gong Li smiled and extended her hand.

"Teacher Gong."

Xu Laoguai shook hands with her, and at that moment, a group of people came up behind them.

"Come, come, let me introduce you."

"This is Takeshi Kaneshiro from the 'Perhaps Love' crew, this is Chen Guanxi from the 'Initial D' crew, but they're not being screened today, and this is—"

As soon as Xu Laoguai raised his hand, a celebrity stepped forward.

There were no fewer than twenty Chinese celebrities at the opening ceremony alone.

Including but not limited to: Tsui Hark, Donnie Yen, Lu Yi, Leon Lai, Sun Honglei, Zhang Jingchu, Charlie Yeung, Ang Lee, Wu Yusen, Chen Guanxi, Zhou Xun, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Sammi Cheng, Stanley Kwan —

Including Ye Chong's crew, the place was practically packed with people in Venice.

"This is Chen Zhixi, the general manager of Feiye Film and Television Media, and also the producer of 'The Legend of the Stone'."

This is Duan Yihong————

As the only person present who was familiar with both sides, Gong Li naturally took on the role of introducer.

After a brief introduction, the two groups sat down at the prep seats and began exchanging pleasantries.

But something just doesn't feel right!

Chen Zhixi glanced at his own people, then at the people opposite him, and immediately understood.

On one side is the mainland, and on the other side are Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It's still the era of "mainland dubbing," or in other words, Hong Kong filmmakers are still basking in the last vestiges of their glory.

Actors like Huang Xiaoming, Chen Daoming, and Hu Jun, who are highly sought after in mainland China, can only play supporting roles there, and even then, they're often playing classic villains.

In fact, even Stephen Chow's movies still contain some elements of "anti-mainland China", such as the Shandong robbers in "From Beijing with Love".

For example, the "mainland fugitive murderer" in Johnnie To's Gunfire Trilogy?

For a moment, Chen Zhixi was lost in thought. When she came to her senses, she found that Tsui Hark had somehow slipped up to her side.

Chen Zhixi nodded slightly in greeting: "Director Xu!"

"No need to be so polite."

Xu Laoguai's attitude was very amiable, which made Chen Zhixi feel strange.

Before she could think further, Tsui Hark's deliberately amplified voice rang out: "Director Ye, you're not here today?"

"Hmm—no. He's sick; he has heatstroke."

"Oh—" Xu Kela drawled, nodding as his voice rose a few decibels as he opened and closed his mouth.

"Please give my regards to Director Ye."

"Yes."

"Hmm—then I won't bother you any longer." Old Monster Xu nodded again, and as he stood up and bent over, a deep voice came from his mouth.

"*****," Chen Zhixi's pupils dilated, but he nodded calmly.

The exchange between the two was a minor incident, and Tsui Hark's deliberately amplified voice went unnoticed.

Two more minutes passed before Chen Zhixi stood up, as staff came to call everyone to get ready.

After a pause, she seemed to remember something, went to the storage area, took out her phone, unlocked it, and started typing rapidly.

"Beep beep beep!"

"Why don't you take a look?"

"Beep beep beep!"

"What do you mean by not saying anything?"

-

"Beep beep beep!"

"show me?"

"Just keep sailing your boat, you're driving me crazy!"

On the second floor of a rented small yacht in the Venetian Lagoon.

Ye Chong, with one hand on the yacht's steering wheel, couldn't help but turn around and look behind him. On the open-air deck on the second floor, Yi Fei was lying on a lounge chair wearing Ye Chong's glasses.

The blinding sunlight streamed down, mostly blocked by the parasol overhead, but some still shone on Yi Fei's white thighs, making Ye Chong's eyes glaze over.

After a pause, he simply stopped the small yacht.

"? Aren't we going to Water City?"

"Let's go tomorrow."

Ye Chong took a bottle of sunscreen out of the locker, turned around and took two steps to stand in front of Yi Fei.

"Um?"

Yi Fei raised her hand and pulled her sunglasses up to her nose, looking up at Ye Chong with suspicion.

"What do you want to do?"

"Dry!"

"What nonsense!" Yifei couldn't help but kick him with her little foot. "Do you think I don't understand?"

"Ugh ugh ugh ————"

Ye Chong felt a little embarrassed. He squatted down on the spot, took out the sunscreen, and was about to open it.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll apply it for you—"

Before she could finish speaking, Yifei held up a finger and shook it: "No! No! No! We haven't reached that point!"

"Is that so?"

Ye Chong wasn't annoyed. He got up and moved another recliner next to Yi Fei.

Yifei tilted her head and glared at him suspiciously: "What now?"

"Qianbaoer————"

"Hmm?" Yifei drawled, her eyes revealing a stern expression.

Ye Chong clicked his tongue and had no choice but to respectfully address her again, "President Qian!"

Yifei instantly broke into a smile and patted Ye Chong's head: "Good boy! I love you."

Do you love me?

Ye Chong's eyes darted around, then he suddenly twisted his shoulders and nudged Yi Fei's little hand with his head, making a sweet, cloying sound: "Aww~~ Sister~~~ Little man wants a hug~"

"Eek~" Yifei shivered.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

Ye Chong ignored Yi Fei's playful antics, then, acting coquettishly, he shuffled forward a short distance, and then—

"ah"

With a gasp, Yifei was scooped up by his waist.

After a dizzying moment, Yifei found herself lying on top of Ye Chong.

"you--"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a large mouth suddenly covered Yifei's small mouth, and Yifei immediately opened her eyes wide.

"Ugh~ Ugh!"
