Xia Siyu refused deliberately, "How old are you and can't take a bath alone?"
Bo Yan ignored her resistance at all and hugged her directly, Xia Siyu still
pretended to be hypocritical: "No, no!"

The news came back to China. It has been many years since the Chinese
nationality, pure Chinese film won the biggest prize in the three European
awards, and it suddenly became a hot topic. There are also Bo Yan and Xia
Siyu's own heat, no need to buy hot search, naturally became the first on the
list.
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, Bo Yanfan and Xia Siyufan, two
crazy insulting groups, rarely stopped, and the two played together.
Countless media wanted to interview these two, but Xia Siyu and Bo Yan
declined. The reason Xia Siyu gave was that it was inconvenient to accept
interviews on the way back to Canada to shoot a movie. On the other side of Bo
Yan, through Song Fengzhi, he was already doing some commercial activities and
had no time for the time being.
But how could Bo Yan not be prepared? He asked Song Fengzhi to prepare several
different statements. If the other party only asked for a text interview, he
would let Song Fengzhi send the different manuscripts he prepared to the media
in different categories.
Of course, in addition to the cheerful voice, there are also discordant notes.
For example, some people questioned why Bo Yan and Xia Siyu came to power, one
spoke English and the other Italian, but no one spoke Chinese. Is Chinese
ugly? Is it hard to be elegant?
In the beginning, it was just a few forums questioned, and then the marketing
account moved to Weibo and certain music. I don't know who bought the hot
search, and the popularity suddenly rose.
Especially in the past few years, cultural self-confidence has been a big
issue, which has suddenly drawn the sensitive nerves of many people.
Of course, there are fans who fought back on this point. There is no barrier
to communication in English. This is originally the international stage, and I
can speak English very well. And there is no accent, and the speaking is
authentic and smooth. Some other artists who say a few words casually with an
accent will be sprayed. But Bo Yan was so fluent and was stunned, and they
didn't quite understand this kind of operation. Is patriotism so devilish?
As for, Xia Siyu said when she introduced herself, she grew up in Italy, and
the Golden Lion Award was held in Venice. Is there a problem with speaking
Italian? She is also good at English, and she can also do simultaneous
interpretation for Director Sun. How many of the artists have this skill?
Speaking of it, Bo Yan was originally a university lecturer, so it is not
surprising that he can speak English. On the contrary, Xia Siyu, who has been
sprayed with inexperienced skills in the past, can communicate in English,
Italian and French without any barriers, and she can even speak Latin. Knowing
four foreign languages, is this a genius?
How many of those who usually spray her Nine Leaky Fish are college graduates?
Even if you have a college degree, it is difficult to say whether you can
communicate with foreigners in English normally. Her skills are clearly full
of language, not the so-called "common sense".
In short, now I have won the award, so the enthusiasm is high, and there are
many people who are willing to help these two speak. In particular, Xia Siyu's
"God Catcher" has attracted a lot of fans, and the combat effectiveness is
extremely strong. Even if I was beaten by the country for quarreling with Bo
Yanfen before, it is a good thing to win the prize now, and positive publicity
is still sufficient.
Xia Siyu didn't know these tears, and Wei Jingjing didn't tell her.
It wasn't a big deal at first, even if Xia Siyu was told, she might not be
able to take care of it.
As for Bo Yan, this topic can be discussed so widely, in fact, he is behind
it. He even specially instructed Song Fengzhi to stir up the enthusiasm.
He also invested in "Spring Light", not only was the salary not used as a
share, but he and Han Yifan's company also participated in the production,
which accounted for a large share of it.
Now that the grand prize has been won, so has the Dragon Mark, and it is ready
to be released at any time. Before winning the grand prize, the publisher
might not be willing to promote it vigorously based on the fame of Bo Yan and
Xia Siyu. Although winning the grand prize is a good publicity, it is
difficult to keep how many viewers will enter the cinema for this prize.
But at this time, hyping up this topic, getting more people involved, breaking
the circle, is tantamount to a free large-scale publicity. Moreover, "Spring
Light" won the grand prize, which is tantamount to a death-free gold medal,
and the review department will no longer restrict its release. In recent
years, Chinese-language movies have been sluggish, and they have gradually
been pulled away by the neighboring Goryeo and Neon. With this award, the
radio and television will also make positive publicity.
Even if someone knows that someone is hyping up this issue, as long as the
trouble is not excessive, the state will not control it.
Bo Yan valued this point and let Song Fengzhi follow up closely.
The prize has been won, and the next thing is the box office.

Xia Siyu didn't care about these twists and turns at all, and she was not
interested. For her, the award ceremony ended last night, and the film has
temporarily moved away from her schedule. Even if she was to be promoted after
the show, she would just leave it to the team to take care of it because she
was in a foreign country.
The weather was clear and the waves were calm on this day. She got up early in
the morning and boarded the "Gondola" boat, and went to Venice with Bo Yan.
For a full view of Venice, taking a boat is the best choice. Although there is
also a walking route in the old town, you can walk all the way to St. Mark's
Basilica, but you can cross the streets and alleys of Venice by boat,
especially the most famous bridge in Venice.
There are more than 400 bridges in Venice. One of the most famous "Bridge of
Sighs", I don't know how many literati and inkmen have left their footprints.
This bridge, in fact, has the same interest as the Bastille. In the past, it
was used by death row inmates before the final execution, so it was named
"Sigh." But then there were rumors that as long as the couple kissed under the
bridge, they could last forever.
Because of such rumors, this bridge is basically a necessary route for
everyone who comes to Venice to take a boat. Especially today and Sunday,
tourists are in an endless stream. While queuing, Xia Siyu saw several couples
kissing passionately when a gondola in front passed through the bridge hole.
Of course Xia Siyu didn't believe this. She turned her head to look at Bo Yan,
and pointed at the lovers with a sneer on her face. Bo Yan also said: "In
fact, our country also has such a similar legend. It is said that Gusu is
similar to Venice. It is said that couples will be blessed as long as they
walk through every bridge in Gusu, and will grow old in the future."
"Really?" Xia Siyu was a little curious, but when the boat crossed the Bridge
of Sighs, she couldn't sit still. But Bo Yan came over and kissed her on the
cheek.
