Xia Siyu deliberately refused: "How old are you that you can't take a bath alone?"
Bo Yan ignored her resistance and picked her up directly. Xia Siyu pretended to be pretentious: "No, no!"
**
The news spread back to China. It has been many years since a Chinese-language film with Chinese nationality won the top prize at the three European awards, and it suddenly became a hot topic. And with Bo Yan and Xia Siyu's own popularity, they naturally became the top of the list without buying hot searches.
In particular, the chairman of the jury spoke highly of the two leading actors. Although neither of them won a single award, what could be more exciting than the biggest award? For a time, two groups, Bo Yan fans and Xia Siyu fans, who were madly insulting each other, rarely stopped, and the two families started to complain together.
Countless media wanted to interview these two people, but Xia Siyu and Bo Yan declined. The reason Xia Siyu gave was that she was on her way back to Canada to film a movie and it was not convenient for her to be interviewed. Bo Yan, on the other hand, said through Song Fengzhi that he was already engaged in some business activities and did not have time for the time being.
But how could Bo Yan be unprepared? He had asked Song Fengzhi to prepare several different speeches. If the other party only requested a written interview, he would have asked Song Fengzhi to send the different manuscripts he had prepared to the media in categories.
Of course, in addition to the joyful sounds, there are also discordant notes.
For example, some people questioned why when Bo Yan and Xia Siyu came on stage, one spoke English and the other spoke Italian, but no one spoke Chinese. Is it because the Chinese language is difficult to listen to, and is it difficult to be refined
At first, it was only questioned on a few forums, but later it was moved to Weibo and a certain voice by a marketing account. I don’t know who bought the hot search later, and the popularity suddenly increased.
Especially in recent years, cultural self-confidence has been a big issue, which has suddenly touched the sensitive nerves of many people.
Of course, some fans also refuted this point, saying that there is no obstacle to communicating in English. This is an international stage, and it is good to speak English. And there is no accent at all, and he speaks authentically and fluently. Some other artists will get criticized if they say a few words with an accent. But Bo Yan was criticized for speaking so fluently, and they didn't quite understand this kind of operation. Is it because you are so patriotic that you are crazy about it
As for Xia Siyu, she already said when she introduced herself that she grew up in Italy, and the Golden Lion Award was held in Venice. Is there any problem speaking Italian? Her English is also good, and she can also serve as simultaneous interpreter for Director Sun. How many artists have this ability
Speaking of which, Bo Yan was originally a university lecturer, so it was not surprising that he knew English. On the contrary, Xia Siyu, who has been accused of being uneducated and ignorant in the past, can communicate in English, Italian and French without any problems. She even knows Latin. Being able to speak four foreign languages is a genius, right
How many of the people who usually criticize her are college graduates? Even if you have a college degree, it is difficult to say whether you can communicate normally with foreigners in English. Her skill points are obviously focused on language, not the so-called "common sense".
In short, now that they have won the award, the popularity is high and many people are willing to speak for these two. In particular, Xia Siyu's "The God of Hunting" has attracted a lot of fans, and his fighting ability is extremely strong. Even though I was beaten by the country before because of my quarrel with a thin fan, now that I have won an award, it is a good thing and the positive publicity is still enough.
Xia Siyu didn't know about these quarrels, and Wei Jingjing didn't tell her.
It wasn't a big deal in the first place. Even if she told Xia Siyu, she might not care.
As for Bo Yan, the fact that this issue can be discussed so widely is actually because he is behind it. He even specially instructed Song Fengzhi to stir up the popularity.
He also invested in "Spring Scene". Not only was his remuneration not used as a shareholding, but his and Han Yifan's companies also participated in the production and took a large share in it.
Now that the grand prize has been won and the Dragon Award has been won, it is ready to be released at any time. Before winning the grand prize, publishers may not be willing to vigorously promote Bo Yan and Xia Siyu based on their names. Although winning the grand prize is good publicity, it is difficult to ensure that many viewers will go to the cinema for this prize.
But at this time, hyping up this issue, getting more people involved, and breaking the circle is equivalent to free large-scale publicity. Moreover, "Spring Light" won the grand prize, which is equivalent to a gold medal for immunity from death. The review department will not impose any restrictions on its release. In recent years, Chinese-language films have not been very prosperous, and they have gradually been overtaken by the neighboring companies Goryeo and Neon. With this grand prize, radio and television will also do positive publicity.
Even if it is known that someone is hyping up this issue behind the scenes, as long as the fuss is not excessive, the state will not take care of it.
Bo Yan valued this and asked Song Fengzhi to follow up closely.
The award has been won, and the next thing is the box office.

Xia Siyu didn't care about the twists and turns, and she wasn't interested either. For her, after the awards ceremony ended last night, the movie has temporarily moved out of her schedule. Even if she had to promote it after the release, she would just leave it to the team to take care of it because she was abroad.
The weather was sunny and the sea was calm. She got up early in the morning, got on a gondola, and traveled to Venice with Boyan.
If you want to enjoy Venice, taking a boat is the best option. Although there is also a walking route in the old city that can go all the way to St. Mark's Basilica, you can take a boat through the streets and alleys of Venice, especially the most famous bridge in Venice.
There are more than 400 bridges in Venice. The most famous one is the "Bridge of Sighs", where countless literati have left their footprints. This bridge is actually similar to the Bastille. It used to be the bridge where death row prisoners passed before their final execution, so it was named "Sigh". But later there were rumors that couples could last forever as long as they kissed under the bridge.
Because of such rumors, this bridge is basically a must-have route for everyone who comes to Venice to take a boat. Especially today, Sunday, there is an endless stream of tourists. While queuing, Xia Siyu saw several couples kissing passionately as a gondola passed through the bridge.
Of course Xia Siyu didn't believe this. She turned to look at Bo Yan and pointed at the lovers with a sneer on her face. Bo Yan also said: "Actually, there is a similar legend in our country. Let's take Gusu, which is similar to Venice. It is said that as long as lovers cross every bridge in Gusu, they will be blessed and grow old together in the future."
"Really?" Xia Siyu was a little curious, but when the boat passed the Bridge of Sighs, she couldn't sit still. But Bo Yan came over and kissed her cheek.
