You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Everyone follow me, look for the Dawang flag, follow my little flag, don't run around~" A tour guide led a group of middle-aged men and women out of Nice Airport.

Zhang Songwen looked at the other party with a lot of emotion, as if he saw himself more than ten years ago. If he hadn't taken the Nortel exam on impulse, he should be an excellent tour guide now.

"Old Zhang, what are you looking at?" Qin Hao appeared behind him.

"Oh, nothing, let's go."

Zhang Songwen, Qin Hao, Chen Sicheng, and Tan Zhuo, the four began to look for a car to pick them up. As for the director Lou Ye, he had already arrived in Cannes. Their "Spring Intoxicated Night" was not only shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, And there is also the support of French funds, and Lou Daoluzi is writing it.

Among them, Qin Hao is the most natural, and he can speak a few words of French. Cannes, this buddy is not the first time back.

After they left, the Huaxia tour group on the other side also waited for the bus to pick them up. After the group got on the bus, they went straight to the best hotel in Cannes, the Majestic Barrier Hotel in Cannes. Usually, the crew from Hollywood can win this place. hotel room.

After getting in the car, the middle-aged man Wang Qiankun said, "I know that some theaters still have doubts about "Inception" and 3D movies, and they haven't implemented the 3D screen yet. For the world premiere, I will arrange for you to come to Cannes and watch a movie, and if you are still not confident, I will arrange for you to go to Paris for a few days, and I, Lao Wang, will apologize to everyone."

Gao Jundao of New Film Federation, "Old Wang, I am very confident in Director Wang's new work."

Old Wang laughed at him, "Then what are you doing here, you're wasting my air ticket."

Gao Jun touched his bald head, "If I can be the first people in the world to see "Inception", I have to come even if I pay!"

"That's right, that's right!" The bosses of several theater chains echoed.

That being said, except for Dawang and Golden Harvest, none of the theaters have enough 3D projection equipment online, basically every movie theater has a 3D hall.

What's the matter, what will happen to affect my son's box office at that time, so he arranged such a movie viewing event after discussing with Wang Quan.

Although I was sitting in economy class, the place to live was not bad, and it cost me a lot of money.

King Quan came earlier than Dad and the others, they were all in the same hotel, and Dorothy came earlier, and settled them down.

She asked Wang Quan, "Who do you want to share a room with?"

Wang Quan couldn't believe it, "I don't have a single room yet."

Dorothy, "I think it would be a waste to give you a room."

Hearing this, both Emma and Monica were a little embarrassed.

It has to be said that Dorothy still understands the kingship, he smiled and hooked Dorothy, "Can we share a room?"

Dorothy said simply, "Okay, take the room card."

Seeing her seriousness, Wang Quan said, "Damn, there is really no room for me?"

Dorothy, "In order to accommodate Uncle Wang and his group, the hotel has run out of rooms. Several people who were shortlisted for the film crew have expressed their opinions because of this. The number one hotel of the film festival was actually occupied by a group of tourists."

Wang Quan, "Isn't this for the convenience of communication? If I knew it earlier, I would have arranged for them to sleep under the bridge hole."

Afterwards, Wang Quan followed Dorothy into her room, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he saw the layout of the room, two beds.

Dorothy blinked, "Aren't you tired, I'll give you the whole show~"

"Ah, this, this is not good."

"Lie down for me." Dorothy lay on the bed according to the kingship, and began to massage him.

After all, she is Tao Weilong's daughter, and her hand massage skills are much better than that of Wang Quan, a rumored disciple.

"Comfortable!" Wang Quan couldn't help shouting, Dorothy sat directly on Wang Quan's body and massaged, but she was not dressed professionally enough.

Wang Quan squinted his eyes and asked, "Tao'er, are you hungry~"

Wang Quan's words were molesting, and Dorothy stepped up her efforts, causing Wang Quan to cry out in shock.

"I'll give you a massage when I'm full, you can play by yourself."

Wang Quan turned around and hugged her, "Just kidding, then what, do we have to walk the red carpet tomorrow, let's go together."

"Forget it, arrange for you and Emma to walk the red carpet together, and the golden boy and the jade girl are more topical."

Wang Quan: I am a golden boy, but she is not a jade girl, she is a girl who almost knocked his Gulfstream G550 apart. When his G650 is in hand, his first inspection item is whether it is earthquake-resistant or not.

Wang Quan asked again, "What crews and stars are there in Cannes this year?"

Dorothy directly gave Wang Quan a film schedule, which included the filming arrangements for Cannes's main competition, non-competition and sub-units, in English and French.

The opening film "Inception" ranked first. Dorothy was worried that the equipment here did not meet the requirements, so she came here to check in advance. Although "Inception" will also be released in 2D, tomorrow's first show must be 3D.

Then Wang Quan saw Li Press again, and this time he was shortlisted for the main competition with his new work "Making Woodstock".

This year’s Cannes still has a high content of Chinese people. The opening ceremony is Wang Quan’s film, and Shu Qi is among the judges. In addition to Li Yin’s American film, Du Qifeng’s "Revenge" and Cai Mingliang's "Face" are in the main competition. , and Lou Ye's "A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze".

Among them, "Face" and "Spring Breeze" both have French capital, and the protagonist of "Revenge" is French rock star Johnny Halliday, so there is actually no purebred Chinese film this year.

In addition to Asian films, Park Chan-wook's "Bat" by Kimchi Nation was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and Bong Joon-ho's "Mother" was shortlisted for a special attention unit (sub-unit). Kimchi Nation's director Lee Chang-dong was also one of the judges for the main competition unit.

The chairman of the jury for this year's main competition is Isabelle Huppert, another French national treasure actress.

Wang Quan appreciates her acting skills, but in the era of looking at faces, sister Sophie Marceau is really fragrant.

Dorothy got up and said, "You rest, I'll go outside to meet you, Uncle Wang and the others should be here soon."

Wang Quan closed his eyes after looking at it. He was really tired. The flight took 12 hours. He and Emma went to the bathroom twice. Twice!

After the crew of "Inception" checked into the Majestic Barriere Hotel, the paparazzi in Cannes immediately got wind of the news, ready to capture all the movements of the crew, especially Xiao Li, who might run to the beach to squirt a water gun as soon as he was in a good mood.

After the crew of "Inception" moved in, the crew of "Inglourious Basterds", whose cast is second only to "Inception" at the Cannes Film Festival, also came.

This is a new film co-directed by Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth. It was shortlisted for the main competition. German beauty Diane Kruger, who was a judge with King Power before.

There was a film festival schedule in the hotel lobby. Quentin glanced at it and realized that the opening film was a new film by King Quan, so he asked Pete, "Would you like to see it then?"

"Go, Xiao Lizi invited me."

Quentin, "Oh, you have such a good relationship, then I will ask you to make a movie together."

They were talking, and just after they checked in, a large group of people came in, all of them were Chinese, wearing the same hats, like a tour group, a group of people chattered excitedly, Quentin and the two showed disgusted eyes , immediately went upstairs.

After Quentin went upstairs, he ran into Park Chan-wook and Song Kang-ho from the crew of "Bat" on the same floor. Park Chan-wook and Quentin warmly shook hands and greeted each other, as if they were old friends who have known each other for many years.

After parting, Park Chan-wook's face was pulled down, and his mouth moved, as if to say "shabi."

Back then, Park Chan-wook took his masterpiece "Old Boy" to the Cannes Film Festival and won the highest score in the show catalogue. The jury also liked it very much, including Quentin, the chairman of the jury, but he had a favorite.

At that time, there was a documentary called "Fahrenheit 9/11", which contained some content criticizing Xiao Bushi. Quentin, an old cynic, liked it very much. A movie star.

In the end, both the United States and France came forward, finally calmed down the matter, and made Quentin take back the idea of ​​the best actor Xiao Bushi, but his bottom line was that the best film must be given to Fahrenheit 911, so the only one in the history of Cannes A documentary Palme d'Or was born.

And "Old Boy" took the second place and won the second prize of the jury. If it wasn't for Quentin's tricks, "Old Boy" would have won the Palme d'Or back then.

Five years on, the two have now turned into a rival relationship.

Downstairs in the lobby, the tour guide communicated in French to check in, and they had already booked the room.

While doing this, Dorothy came down and pulled Lao Wang aside to talk, "King Quan just arrived, just fell asleep, Uncle, please tell me the room number, and let him find you when he wakes up."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaotao."

"It's okay, we're all family."

Wang Qiankun glanced at her belly, it was very flat, whenever you give birth to a grandson for me, I will recognize you as a family.

At another cheaper hotel, Qin Hao and his team met director Lou Ye, and director Lou warmly hugged everyone, "I have prepared costumes for you, let's walk the red carpet together tomorrow!"

Chen Sicheng said, "Director Lou, on the way here we heard that tomorrow's opening film is "Inception" directed by Wang Quan, is it true or not?"

"Really, it's just been finalized recently."

"Then can we go see it then?" Tan Zhuo asked excitedly, she has been greedy for this movie for a long time, and I heard it is very high-tech.

Lou Ye shook his head, "Even if we have to buy tickets, unless we ask for it directly from the organizer or the crew of Inception."

Qin Hao shook his hair, "We are both colleagues and stars. Attending the opening movie can also be regarded as adding luster to his movie and adding topics. It's a win-win situation."

Lou Ye curled her lips, "He's a Hollywood guy, what kind of company are you with us? Besides, are you guys considered celebrities? Oh, besides Xiao Chen, does anyone know anyone else?"

These words are true and cruel, at least Chen Sicheng still has the role of "Chengcai".

Just as Chen Sicheng was about to feel complacent, Lou Ye said again, "And in Cannes, Xiao Chen is not as good as you, Xiao Qin."

The director was too hurtful, Chen Sicheng withdrew his smile.

Tan Zhuo suddenly looked at the silent Zhang Songwen, "Hey, Teacher Songwen, you don't know Director Wang Quan."

"Oh, um, they had dinner together," Zhang Songwen said with a guilty conscience, "He said he liked my "Monster-in-Law" quite a bit."

Tan Zhuo shook his arm, "Then you can get some tickets for us, okay~"

Who could stand a beautiful girl in her twenties acting like a baby? Even though Zhang Songwen knew that he had no friendship with Wang Quan, his blood was surging at this moment, and he was on top.

"Okay, let me try," but he calmed down immediately, "but I don't know which hotel he is staying in?"

Chen Sicheng, "Don't you know each other? No contact information?"

Zhang Songwen does exist, but I think it is a basic quality for such a big man not to bother others actively.

But who made him take the lead now, "Then, let me ask."

He sent a text message to test first.

As a result, Wang Quan called back directly, "Mr. Zhang, which hotel is your crew at? I'm about to send you tickets. I'll definitely come over to join you when the time comes. Haha, everyone is welcome, everyone is welcome."

Zhang Songwen suddenly felt that he had face. Look at Director Wang, such a big international director, he has no airs at all, and he even took the initiative to give him a ticket.

Chen Sicheng thought it was really Zhang Songwen's face, and thought that Teacher Zhang could do it, are you the little wife who taught Wang Dao, so you can save face!

In fact, it has nothing to do with Mr. Zhang's face, it's purely Wang Quan's politeness. He will arrange to send tickets to the Chinese-speaking crews and Chinese filmmakers who come to Cannes, including Li Yin, Du Qifeng, and Cai Mingliang.

I heard that director Wu Yusen is also coming to sell the film, and I plan to give him a few tickets when the time comes.

At this time, Wang Quan was in Lao Wang's room. Lao Wang lived in a two-person room, and Ye Ning from Wanda Cinemas was with him.

Wanda Cinemas has a lot of trust in Wang Quan's new film, and its share of 3D theaters is second only to King and Golden Harvest.

However, given the opportunity to sneak a peek, he still came.

Not only Ye Ning came, but their young master Shi Cong also came, but they didn't come together. Si Cong was studying in England and came directly from London, and he planned to live in a youth hostel with his classmates.

Of course, Young Master Wang also heard from Ye Ning that "Inception" will be shown in the opening film of Cannes, so he came here with his classmates. Lord, there are six of them in total, four women and two men.

Wang Quan and Lao Wang were chatting happily, but Ye Ning couldn't get in the way, so she went out and called the young master, asking where he was.

"We have already stayed in the youth hostel and are about to buy tickets."

Ye Ning, "What kind of ticket should I buy? I'll just ask Director Wang for it when the time comes."

"Can I have six?"

"Hey, that's a bit difficult, one is fine," Ye Ning said, "There's only one show in Cannes. Although it's a large hall, there are only about 300 seats, which is great."

"Forget it, my classmates and I lined up to buy tickets by ourselves. It's a special experience." Wang Sicong said indifferently.

Then the six of them found the movie theater where "Inception" will be shown tomorrow. There is still a huge poster of "Inception", but there is already a queue in front of it.

"No, isn't the ticket released tomorrow?" A classmate stepped forward and asked.

The other party looked at each other like a fool, "There are only 300 tickets for sale, so come back tomorrow."

Looking at the group of people queuing up with quilts and beds, Wang Sicong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "We are also queuing, starting from today!"

Then the next day, Wang Sicong called Ye Ning behind his back, "Manager Ye, can you still get the ticket you mentioned?"

This is because I didn't buy it, Ye Ning gritted her teeth, "I'll try it."

Wang Sicong, "Also, give me your ticket too, I want to take a female classmate of mine to watch~"

Ye Ning, "..."

(Good news, good news, this book has been upgraded to a third-level novel, no need to drool! The days of dry mouth and tongue are gone forever! There will be a title next month!)

Damn, I sent it out before I finished writing the title.

"The stars in Cannes are shining, but there are too many porridges for the dream robbers"
