Chapter 107: Liu Yifei's Debut

When Liu Yifei was practicing singing in Hong Kong, Liu Xiaoli was busy preparing red carpet dresses for her in the country.

But because she was still just a young actress who had just debuted, she had no room for activities after contacting several big brands.

She was far from the threshold of high-end customization.

Finally, Lu Kuan asked Mei Yanfang's exclusive designer Liu Peiji to take action and designed this purple pleated floor-length long skirt for the little girl.

In addition to Mei Yanfang, he was also a guest of Leslie Cheung, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, and others, and could be said to be the leader of the Hong Kong clothing design industry.

Han Lu and Xie Xiao's shutters pressed frantically. From the moment Liu Yifei and Lu Kuan entered the shooting range until they walked in front of them, they almost pressed their fingers into cramps.

"Wow, this way!"

"Chinese princess!"

"Lolita!"

Western reporters were bored, but suddenly saw a fresh oriental girl face, and were amazed for a while.

It's just that *The Starry Star* hasn't been filmed yet, this is a living Asha princess.

Han Lu relied on the advantage of the country to shout while shooting: "Hello, please wait a moment."

Liu Yifei had no experience and looked at Lu Kuan ignorantly.

"Cooperate with her to pose."

"Oh oh."

The little girl used all the eighteen martial arts she learned from the etiquette trainer before coming, and after a burst of chaos, she gradually entered the state.

Awkward is awkward, but the person is really beautiful!

Boss Lu very sensibly gave up a position and watched Little Liu use her beauty to conquer the picky photography reporters in Venice from the side.

Appearance is justice, which is true everywhere.

Liu Xiaoli was very excited. She was with the reporters of Blog Network. The latter was a staff member specially found by Lu Kuan to capture and collect crew materials throughout the process.

Starting from this Venice, he had to start a series of public relations packaging and push Liu Yifei to the center of the stage.

This is not only out of his interest as a shareholder of Red Star Dock, but also for the box office of the movie that will be on the theater line after returning home.

In short, everything looks at money.

Seeing that the next wave of crews was about to arrive, Xie Xiao shouted loudly: "Director Lu, please take a photo of the two of you."

Lu Kuan naturally cooperated obediently.

The handsome young director wore a decent suit, with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, and very gentlemanly put his arms around the slim waist of his female companion.

The heroine in the purple pleated skirt leaned slightly against him, a pair of long legs looming, and her expression was calm and gentle.

If Gong Li's bare-shouldered black flower dress represents the noble elegance of the East.

Then this unknown actress tells the fairy-like appearance of a girl next door.

That clarity and clumsiness in her gestures revealed the girl's quiet and graceful appearance.

This is a kind of restraint and quietness different from Western female stars with abundant breasts and buttocks.

"Click, click!"

Countless shutter sounds rang out, and the first group photo of the two was born.

The red carpet process of the Venice Film Festival is only about 30-35 minutes. The host and staff were surprised to see this pair of beautiful people walk past, and they didn't encounter the cold scene they expected.

The red carpet is a world-renowned conference process. Asian filmmakers often have a lonely star avenue, and they are often anxious to grab reporters to support the scene.

Obviously, there is no need to consider this problem today.

"Yifei, this outfit is really beautiful today."

As the jury president, Gong Li had two domestic crews attending the red carpet ceremony tonight, so she was also very polite to wait at the end.

"Thank you, Sister Gong Li!"

Liu Yifei familiarly performed a cheek-kissing ceremony with Gong Li, and the two took photos again at the invitation of reporters and hosts.

Boss Lu nodded with satisfaction. The film publicity work is still in progress, but Liu Yifei's personal marketing work is going well.

Unlike the image of Bai Xiuzhu appearing in the eyes of domestic audiences for the first time in his previous life, the little girl's debut this time is a high-level red carpet debut.

In this era, such a debut specification can make a group of red carpet actresses who want to come but can't come, and want to rub but can't rub, jealous and crazy!

And it's not the kind of hard rubbing, even if she doesn't have many scenes in this debut movie.

"Lu Kuan, how about it, I have saved face for the crew today!"

The little girl was secretly proud. Of course, she knew how her resources came from, and she also wanted to use her ability to give back to Lu Kuan.

At least don't affect the publicity and box office of the movie because her acting skills are immature and her star power is not enough.

"This dress, even if you put a pig inside, it will be beautiful. What does it have to do with you?"

There were many people and many mouths, Liu Yifei gave him a white eye, and was too lazy to pay attention to this stubborn guy.

Boss Lu looked at the smiling Liu Yifei and her mother hugging and taking pictures, and began to consider the next plan in his heart.

According to the consensus of several shareholders of Red Star Dock, he would obtain a total of 30% of Red Star Dock shares after Venice, becoming the second largest shareholder after Cheng Jingfei.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. The plan to cannibalize and annex Cheng Jingfei's shares also needs to be put on the agenda.

The little girl he raised with one hand is about to walk to the center of the stage. Boss Lu naturally has no kindness to share this bonus with others.

It's just how to do this game...

Tonight is just the red carpet ceremony and simple conference process. Starting from the 29th, it is the exhibition session that film lovers all over the world are looking forward to.

The *Whiplash* crew has also started publicity work long ago.

Not limited to posting posters, running interviews, and even buying interviews, going to rub some big-name directors and movies to go out of the circle, etc...

Novice directors and crews want to shine at the film festival, they must face the embarrassment that even if the wine is fragrant, they are afraid of the deep alley, and they will be very passive if they don't take the initiative to market.

Lu Kuan understands this truth, and the *Devils on the Doorstep* crew invested by Huayi naturally understands it better.

Early the next morning, when Lu Kuan and Tian Zhuangzhuang appeared outside the film palace for the opening film, the posters of *Devils on the Doorstep* had been posted everywhere.

Why are the positions reserved by the crew yesterday all posted with *Devils on the Doorstep*?

The few temporarily pressed the doubts and walked to the activity hall of the Venice Film Festival, casino.

"casino" means casino, derived from Italian. During the film festival, this is the busiest place on Lido Island.

Every day's press conference is held here, and after the end, according to the convention, the director and actors will go to a room called "photocall" to accept media photography.

This is the second official appearance opportunity after the red carpet.

The red carpet can be hard rubbed, but without a crew work permit for this link, the film festival security will treat you as a takeaway boy and refuse you outside

"Lu Kuan, Teacher Tian, why don't I see our posters?"

Liu Yifei and Feng Yuanzheng had also caught up; among the leads, only Zhou Jielun was absent due to health reasons.

The production team had contacted a doctor to help him with rehabilitation, aiming for him to recuperate and make his appearance on the day of the *Whiplash* premiere.

Lu Kuan was also puzzled; although the marketing and promotion plan for this time wasn't aimed at a grand, high-profile rollout, the necessary posters, interviews, and press releases were all supposed to be in place.

Soon, a conversation between two *Gun of Mercy* crew members around the corner of the Palazzo del Cinema answered their questions.
