You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 564: Cannes’ lustful and charming eyes, running around for days to be rich and noble!
It was director Hou Hsiao-hsien's turn. He fell into deep thought. This question was difficult to answer.
Although he has been shortlisted seven times, so far he has only won the Jury Prize once, with "Dream Life", which was first shortlisted in 1993.
And the gold content of this award is not as good as the jury award for "Alive", not to mention that there is also a best actor, so I can't hold it back!
Seeing that he was still thinking, Wang Quan decided to answer first and let the old man think more.
"The class that impressed me most was the class in 2000."
Wang Quan explained, "There were three Chinese-language films that were shortlisted for that year, and all of them won awards. Director Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming" won the Jury Prize, Director Yang Dechang won the Best Director for "Yi Yi", and Tony Leung won the Best Director Award for "The Devil Is Coming". "In the Mood for Love" won the Best Actor, and "In the Mood for Love" also won the Technical Award."
When Wang Quan said this, everyone expressed their impression. Jia Zhangke said: "The chairman of the jury that time was Luc Besson. Lao Lu really prefers Chinese movies."
Zhang Yimou also said: "I remember that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon participated in the Cannes screening and received a lot of attention. After its official release, it soared."
Wang Quan: "Yes, several Chinese-language films that year were so shining."
Even though it did not win the Palme d'Or for Best Picture, "In the Mood for Love" has received increasingly higher reviews in the industry over the next ten years. It can be called the number one masterpiece in the film industry in the 21st century. Wong Kar-wai has completely become a god and imitator internationally. He has countless disciples and grandchildren who pay tribute to him.
Hou Hsiao-hsien also spoke out: "I also have an impression of that year. The best film of that year should be Lars von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark," and the heroine Bjorkner won the best actress. Protagonist, which is quite rare in Cannes.”
The three major European films have always been equally affected by the rain and dew. In principle, if they win the only Palme d'Or for Best Picture, they will not be eligible for other awards. Therefore, it is rare to win the Best Picture and the Actor Award.
Wang Quan was deeply impressed and shocked by Lars von Trier's two-part film "The Addict" two years ago.
The four directors excitedly discussed the prosperity of Chinese-language films in 2000. At this time, Hou Hsiao-hsien also knew how to answer decently.
“The Cannes Film Festival that impressed me the most was this year’s edition. Four films were shortlisted for the main competition unit and created a new history. There were also two films in the First Attention Unit and several screening units, which reflected the vigorous vitality of Chinese-language films. I I think it will be no worse than 2000 in terms of awards."
King Quan: Another strange pattern.
After hearing this, Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke felt hot in their hearts. Palme d'Or, it would be great if they could win a Palme d'Or. There is only one Chinese-language film at the moment!
Next, Fan Bingbing continued to ask, "We have some notes here, which contain the main actors of the four movies this year. Please select the four directors and then evaluate each other."
Jia Zhangke came first, and he got Xin Zhilei from "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".
"Oh, I don't know this one, and I haven't read her works. How can I comment on this? I can't comment on it."
Fan Bingbing: "You can comment on his appearance. I must have seen the photos."
Jia Zhangke recalled: "Well, he looks quite exciting."
After saying this, he regretted it, fearing that Taotao would see him.
Hou Hsiao-hsien drew Fan Bingbing from "Parasite".
The old man thought for a moment and said, "She is very beautiful and very smart."
Fan Bingbing started to act coquettishly: "There's more, tell me more, Director Hou."
Hou Hsiao-hsien looked embarrassed: "Her acting skills are also very good. I am looking forward to her performance in the movie later."
It was Zhang Yimou's turn, and he drew Liang Jiahui from "Parasite".
Then Zhang Yimou talked endlessly about how good Liang Jiahui was and looked forward to cooperating with him. He was much more sincere than Hou Hsiao-hsien.
In the end, Wang Quan got Zhang Zhen from "Nie Yinniang", and he did not hesitate to praise this low-key actor who learned whatever he was filming, "He is definitely the kind of actor that all directors like to work with."
After the mutual evaluation, Jia Zhangke took the box, rummaged through it, and finally found Zhao Tao's name, "Well, please give me an evaluation, or else she will be angry when she sees that she was not mentioned in the interview. Yes, please stop broadcasting this part."
Fan Bingbing: "Uh..."
The interview lasted for an hour and a half. In the end, Wang Quan placed an advertisement for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian". After the film ends in Cannes, it will be officially released on May 26.
The schedule has been set, it just depends on what prizes can be obtained this time. Of course, even if it comes back empty-handed, Lao Mouzi still has its own basic base, not to mention the overseas market.
Everyone would have dinner later, and then attend the opening ceremony at seven o'clock. Wang Quan didn't eat, so he went back to his room.
He is someone who can make a living out of that kind of thing, three meals a day.
There was a person lying on the bed in the master bedroom, and Wang Quan lifted the quilt.
"Have you thought clearly?"
Because of the interview just now, Wang Quan left Tang Yan alone in the room and asked her to think clearly first and not to be impulsive.
Tang Yan chose to stay, which already showed his attitude.
There is still some time, Wang Quan is not polite, the two are reliving their old dreams. After 12 years, it is inevitable that they need to work together.
Da √ Tang √ Poetry × Immortal √, the progress bar is 75%!
If she really did something sorry for Yang Mi, Tang Yan's eyes turned red again, and her conscience condemned her in her heart.
She couldn't help but think of Mimi's kindness to her. She let her film "Palace", "Little Times" and now "The Kingdom of Mysteries".
If it weren't for Mimi, I might still be resting on the laurels of "Sword and Sword 3". If it weren't for Mimi, I might still be sinking with Wu Kebo at Chengtian Entertainment.
But those drafts of "Carat Lover" that flattered Reba under your own authority were really not yours!
Mimi, are you going a little too far in order to flatter newcomers? I usually have a soft temper, but that doesn’t mean I’m weak and can be bullied!
Tang Yan's initial impulse to fall in love with Mi Mi was due to the negative marketing this drama brought to her. Even if it wasn't Yang Mi's instruction, she must have known about it, but she chose to sit back and ignore it, not even communicating with herself. .
But when it was finally done, Tang Yan thought of Mimi's kindness, and Tang Yan didn't have a bad intention, so he started crying while doing it, not knowing how to face Mimi in the future.
Wang Quan probably understood her conflicted psychology, but he made Tang Yan laugh with just one sentence.
"Sure enough, you should watch a drama about Happy Twist before doing it. I remember the first time you laughed while doing it..."
Tang Yan also thought of that time and burst into laughter.
"I couldn't keep laughing. It hurt so much that I cried."
Tang Yan didn't need to walk on the red carpet, mainly because she wasn't qualified, but she still wanted to watch the opening movie, so Wang Quan didn't want to fight and let her rest for a while before going to the movie palace.
"I'm going to take the first step. Also, if you feel uneasy about your conscience, just confess to Mimi and you will die early and be reborn."
"I won't say it even to death. I was impulsive today. Let's stay friends from now on!" After saying that, Tang Yan grabbed his clothes and ran out, and happened to bump into Xiao Ai and Xiao Tian who were coming back. Tang Yan was scared to death.
Xiaotian shook his head. Fortunately, he succeeded on the plane. Otherwise, there would be no chance for him in the colorful world of Cannes. Director Quan would probably have no time for Jill for more than ten days.
At 7 p.m., the opening ceremony of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival officially began.
Film festival chairman Pierre Lescure made his speech first, followed by the eight-member jury, of which Sophie Marceau remained the most talked about.
Afterwards, the 21 crew members walked through the red carpet one by one and entered the Cinema Palace to watch "Parasite".
The first person to walk past was the crew of "Carol," a lesbian movie starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
Then came the crew of "The Lobster", with the two actresses Rachel Weisz and Léa Seydoux in the protagonist group becoming the focus of the scene.
Then there is "Valley of Love", starring another French national treasure, Aunt Isabelle Huppert, and the "big-nosed love saint" Depar Dieux.
"Ah, Lao Mouzi is here, oh, there are so many people!"
The domestic media and fans immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, and it felt like the national team appeared at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
It was the first time for Xin Zhilei to participate in such a big event, but the typhoon was very stable, so it was no wonder that she was favored by the national master.
But Ni Ni is more stable. Now that she is here, Wang Quan has also asked her to walk on the red carpet together. In terms of roles, she can be regarded as the second female lead.
The many powerful male stars in the crew have also become a highlight.
Relevant photos and reports were sent back to China almost at the same time. Even though it was already late at night in China, it still did not affect the enthusiasm of netizens for eating melon.
Afterwards, the crews of "Macbeth", "Sicario", "Old Man", "Diary of the Street", "Son of Saul", "Wandering Pandey" and "The Assassin Nie Yinniang" appeared successively.
Wang Quan and his "Parasite" crew make their final appearance.
Wang Quan walked in the front alone, without even a companion.
Then there is the home of Liang Jiahui, Hui Yinghong, Wen Yongshan, and Huang Kaijie. Li Ming, Fan Bingbing, his wife, and housekeeper Bao Qijing are at the back with their daughter Zhou Ming.
Although Wang Quan seemed lonely, his appearance in this way was more in line with the plot and could be considered intentional. Because he did not have a female companion, he walked very fast and was about to catch up with Naomi Watts in front of him. She is the star of "Aokigahara". The heroine of "Sea of Trees".
Fan Bingbing was very depressed. She originally wanted to walk on the red carpet with Wang Quan, but her outfit was specially designed to match him.
However, there are many red carpets in Cannes. She has not left for more than ten days. She follows the director on the red carpet every day. She has prepared more than a dozen sets of clothes.
Just as they were walking along the red carpet, Wen Yongshan saw a familiar figure in the crowd and immediately waved to her and winked.
When Yang Ying in the crowd saw her triumphant face, he puffed up his face in anger, his eyes widened, and he immediately walked through another audience passage and entered the movie palace.
Domestic audiences immediately started discussing after seeing the live photos.
Xuan He: This part of the red carpet has to be owned by Mr. Fan, he has to take care of it!
Zilong in white: After all these years, Fan is finally able to walk on the red carpet in Cannes with dignity.
Feng Qingyue Leng: Fan Ye’s look is so beautiful, he looks very gentle and not aggressive.
*Meng Yue*: I think the little girl next to Mr. Fan is also very nice, very young.
dinvineret: Damn it, isn’t that our classmate? Her name is Zhou Ming, she is my high school classmate and the beauty of our class. I asked her why she took leave, it turned out she was going to Cannes!
The road has collapsed: I still like the new girl Xin Zhilei, she looks very smooth.
A fish that can't fly high: I feel inferior to Ni Ni. Although Ni Ni's face is not as good as Fan Ye, her momentum on the red carpet is not inferior at all.
Lingzhou Jingyue: Yes, that sense of relaxation on Ni Ni’s body is so charming.
Bai Ruifeng: Ni Ni is a natural dresser and has a great figure!
Fan Bingbing's domestic publicity team saw so many people praising Ni Ni, so they quickly went into the water to increase the content of Pang Pang Bing.
As for the subsequent opening movie, netizens cannot watch it for free.
Netizens could only learn from online reports the next day that after the movie ended, the audience applauded for 15 minutes.
Then another self-media published, "Let everyone see what the gold content of the three Cannes opening films is!"
Only then did netizens realize that this is the third time that Wang Quan's work has been the opening film at Cannes.
From the earliest "Inception" that triggered the 3D revolution, to the Chinese cyberpunk "The Adventures of Li Xianji", and finally "Parasite", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit for the first time.
While netizens were rushing to discuss the Cannes opening ceremony, Wang Quan was competing with Wen Yongshan in the room.
Of course, the winner must be Wang Quan, Wen Yongshan was defeated.
Ever since he ate Xiaotian on the plane, Wang Quan felt like he couldn't hold it in anymore.
Could it be that you were influenced by the romantic atmosphere in France?
Originally, Wen Yongshan didn't want to compete with her boss for a man. Zhou Ming couldn't see clearly the matter between Wang Quan and Fan Bingbing, but a veteran in the entertainment industry like himself could see it clearly.
From the beginning, she wanted to make Yang Ying angry. Didn't you look down on me, your former good friend, because your boyfriend is Huang Xiaoming?
Can Huang Xiaoming be as good as director Wang Quan?
So before the movie started, she deliberately sat next to Wang Quan and occasionally whispered to each other, making her look very intimate and familiar, just enough for Yang Ying, who was sitting not far away in the back row, to see him.
Yang Ying thought to herself, there is no bottom line. My brother Xiao Ming only belongs to me, but Wang Quan has a wife. If you are so aggressive, aren't you afraid that Yang Mi will know!
However, after watching the movie, Yang Ying's heart suddenly stopped. I'm afraid there were too many scenes.
She intuitively felt that Wen Yongshan had even more roles than Fan Bingbing. The key was that she acted pretty well. Did she often act with her in the past?
However, Li Ming was more panicked than Yang Ying.
Because when he saw the sofa scene, he realized that he had only taken a few shots, and the rest of the exciting parts were done for him by his stunt double!
Liang Jiahui, who was standing next to him, even touched his arm and gave him a thumbs up. That's great. From now on, the title of Asian Buttocks will belong to you.
Although Liang Jiahui was also present for this scene in the movie, it was filmed separately and he didn't know the inside story.
Li Ming was about to cry but had no tears. That really wasn't mine, that hand wasn't mine, that leg wasn't mine, let alone the butt.
Damn, who's being treated so well as a stand-in? Fan Bingbing can touch him as he pleases! Hit it casually!
Some people at the scene, such as Sophie Marceau, Ni Ni, Naomi Watts, and Xiao Tian Xiao Ai, recognized them. This butt seemed familiar.
But one thing is that Li Ming felt that this clip was very sexy. Fortunately, his girlfriend came with him, so he wouldn't be unable to sleep at night.
But Yang Ying most likely couldn't sleep. After the movie, Lu Han and Jing Boran insisted on dragging her to take a photo with Wang Quan. Now she couldn't escape and could only bite the bullet and fight Wen Yongshan. He greeted her and congratulated her.
Being in the entertainment industry means being able to bend and stretch, not to mention that Yang Ying feels that she has no core conflict with the other person.
Wen Yongshan also adhered to the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, and dealt with Yang Ying for a few words.
Yang Ying then hit the snake with a stick and asked if she could go to the hotel where Wen Yongshan was staying. "I really want to hear you talk about your experience in filming director Quan's movie, and we sisters haven't slept together for a long time."
The two sisters used to have a really good relationship, comparable to twins, and were almost inseparable. They met Wang Quan, who was not yet fully developed, by chance. Yang Ying still remembers Wen Yongshan washing off the clothes signed with Wang Quan's name.
Wen Yongshan also adheres to the idea that one more friend is better than one enemy and is ready to repair the relationship with Yang Ying.
However, "Let's just sleep together. It's not convenient for me. Let's have a meal together." As she said that, she glanced in the direction of Wang Quan.
At the end of the day, Wen Yongshan couldn't help but pretend to be cool. She hoped that Yang Ying would misunderstand her relationship with Wang Quan and look down on her.
Yang Ying did misunderstand, and thought to herself, no wonder, otherwise how could you have received such good resources!
After the misunderstanding, Yang Ying showed more respect for Wen Yongshan. This feeling made Wen Yongshan very helpful and even a little lost. It would be great if it was true.
At this time, in the same restaurant, Wang Quan, Zhang Yimou and several other Chinese directors had a meal together, including Wu Ershan and Li Rengang who came to promote the film.
Only Wang Quan has the appeal to bring directors from across the Taiwan Strait and three places together.
Because of the quality of the film and the high artistic taste of "Parasite", Jia Zhangke felt that he might not have much hope of winning the award, so he was very depressed and made him drink while praising the king.
"This wine is just average. I'll give you a few bottles of Fenjiu from our hometown later." Jia Zhangke said.
Zhang Yimou, Wu Ershan and others were also masters of drinking, but Wang Quan had a poor drinking capacity and drank a little too much.
He was originally going to call Xiaotian and Xiaoai to pick him up, but Wen Yongshan saw it and immediately left Yang Ying to help him, showing a particularly positive attitude.
The relationship between the two became more solid in Yang Ying's heart, and she also suggested: "Shanshan, how about I help you, so that it can be easier for the two of you."
"No, baby, you go back first, I can do it myself." He said with an ambiguous wink.
Yang Ying: Damn!
Later, Wang Quan was sent to the suite on the top floor of the hotel by Wen Yongshan. She fumbled in Wang Quan's pocket for a long time before taking out the hard key card and opening the door.
Xiao Ai and Xiao Tian were resting in the second bedroom. When they heard the door open, Xiao Ai was about to go out. When he saw Wen Yongshan supporting the boss back, he immediately went back and pretended that it didn't exist.
Xiaotian said that he had learned that as an assistant, he should learn to be invisible when necessary.
But when Wen Yongshan was about to leave, Xiao Ai opened the door and asked her to take a pill before letting her go.
Xiaotian said that he had learned something again. Looking at the boss in the bedroom, he had already died of sleep.
While Wang Quan was sleeping, people in China were already discussing the plot of "Parasite".
There are many UP owners in the film and television area at Station B, but most of these UPs are the same as Station B at this time. Most of them are very poor.
"The Top Filmmaker", the new UP host who embarked on the road of film commentary because of King Power, was also very poor, but he saw this year's Cannes as an opportunity to take off his career, so he left early and flew to France.
He bought the cheapest air ticket and stayed in the cheapest youth hotel, but spent a high price to buy a ticket for the opening movie from a scalper, becoming the first ordinary audience in the world to see "Parasite".
He also made this experience into a video as quickly as possible and sent it to the audience. Then as expected, it went viral, and his fans soared from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands overnight!
The video does not contain any actual footage from "Parasite", and the movie's top website said it has no spoilers.
"First of all, let me praise Director Wang Quan. This job is so beautiful and the completion is beyond imagination. I think Director Quan must have conceived this story for many years."
"This is indeed an award-winning film, but don't worry, director Kwon's script will never disappoint. The film's smooth narrative, sophisticated visuals, and wonderful twists kill most of the big names who claim to be literary films. It’s a dull movie, I feel it won’t be bad at the box office, maybe it can break 1 billion.”
"And I am very optimistic that this movie will win awards. Not to mention the Palme d'Or, at least Mr. Liang Jiahui must be awarded the Cannes Best Actor. The acting is so good, especially the calm explosion scene at the end, the look in his eyes is simply amazing. , I feel like no one can play it well except him."
"The performances of several young people are also remarkable. Wen Yongshan impressed me the most. Compared with her, her best friend who uses eye drops is simply incomparable."
"That little girl I don't know is indeed a newbie. She seems to be in her first year of high school this year. She has a bright future. Congratulations on adding another member of the post-95 generation Xiaohuadan."
"Also, I would like to remind everyone that this film may not be released in the mainland in its entirety. The scale of the film is very large. Teacher Li Ming contributed the largest scale in his career, and Mr. Fan also sacrificed a lot."
"But this is not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is the dark and desperate core of the movie. If you understand what this movie is about, you will also understand why Director Quan must film it in Hong Kong. Hong Kong's loose censorship system ensures this The movie can be completed according to director Quan's own ideas without having to consider too many censorship opinions. It can be made and enjoyed first."
"Even without the scene between Li Ming and Fan Ye, the whole movie is still dancing on a tightrope. I want to commend Director Quan for his courage."
"Finally, there are no Chinese subtitles for the show I watched, only English and French. In addition, my Cantonese is not very good, so I didn't see many details clearly. I will find another way to buy a ticket to watch one, and then film another one. This video, please remember to support me by giving me a one-click and three-way link, thank you."
The top of the movie said some ambiguous and suggestive words, which made movie fans pay attention and look forward to the follow-up. It would be impossible not to pay attention to this.
The comment area was even more lively.
Blue Intelligence Officer: What, Fan Ye has that kind of drama, you must support it! Love Fan Ye forever!
Unforgettable 2020: Made, if it is deleted, I will go and see Xiangjiang. The Hong Kong and Macau Pass is always ready!
Something for scholars: Why hasn’t this film been scheduled yet? “Pan Jinlian” has already been scheduled and will be released as soon as Cannes is over. Can Director Quan follow suit?
Pangpang: The two movies are produced by the same company, so they definitely can’t be released at the same time. I guess it will be June at the earliest.
Fanta: I really can’t wait. It’s best to watch this kind of movie as early as possible to avoid long nights and long dreams.
Emperor Fuzhou: That's not the case. Director Quan is an important business card of our country to the outside world. At most, he can delete a few scenes and it won't be banned.
Tie Xue: I can’t accept the cuts. I love watching ghs the most, especially the beautiful girl. I just regret that I can’t buy a plane ticket to Cannes.
The popularity of this video on Station B has even spread to scarves, raising more netizens' expectations for "Parasite" to a higher level.
But the most popular one on the scarf right now is # Fan Bingbing’s dialogue with four famous directors # .
Before Weibo Entertainment's interview video was cut out, Fan Bingbing released the footage of her interview shot by her assistant as one against four, as a warm-up for Weibo Entertainment.
Bookworm 112 years old: What the hell? Fan Bingbing can be interviewed, what kind of cosplay is this?
Lose and win: Damn it, the expectations are off the charts, aren't they? It's not about Mr. Fan, it's these four directors who gathered together for an interview. Weibo can be regarded as a personal thing.
Lonely Souls: The trailer is out, you can watch it in an hour, and it’s more than an hour long.
However, before the video of the interview was released, # Fan Bingbing’s Conversation with Four Famous Directors # dropped to second place on the hot search list.
~
Before this interview video came out, Wang Quan had already woken up.
The two assistants had wiped it for him, and he felt very refreshed, except for one thing: Who was the girl he brought back last night?
He seemed to have seen Yang Ying. Damn it, he wouldn't do anything to feel sorry for Brother Xiao Ming. In fact, he was a nice guy, and he was his leading actor after all.
Later, Xiao Ai told him, "It was Wen Yongshan who asked her to take medicine."
Wang Quan rubbed his face and said, "Oh, it's okay then."
At this time, Yang Mi called from Magic City, "Are you awake?"
"Just woke up."
"Which little beaker did you sleep with last night?"
"I slept alone. I was drunk a lot by Lao Mouzi and the others yesterday."
"Why did they make you drink?"
"Maybe you're jealous that the movie I made is so good, don't you believe it? Really, if you don't believe it, if you smell it, it still smells of alcohol." Wang Quan breathed into his phone.
Yang Mi fanned her nose, "French red wine is so choking."
"That's the authentic Lafite from 1982~"
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi talked about the number one hot search list just now.
"Lu Han posted a photo of him and you on Weibo. Good guy, it has been retweeted over a million times. His fans are very happy."
"What a group of innocent people. They probably thought we were going to cooperate. What did Lu Han say?"
Yang Mi read for a moment: "My palms are red. It's an extremely shocking movie. It's a pity that I can't spoil it. I'm very honored to be among the first people in the world to see this movie. I'm proud to have a director with the royal power of Chinese movies!"
Wang Quan clicked his tongue and said, "I'm embarrassed to say it. It's all a debt of gratitude. I'll also go to their "Hidden Sea Flower" press conference tomorrow."
Because he has too many friends and a lot of movies he wants to watch, Wang Quan's schedule for the past ten days is also full.
Today is the official first day of the film festival. The works screened in the main competition include "The Street Diary" and "Story of Stories". The special screening section is directed by Woody Allen and starring Emma Stone and Joaquin Phoenix. "The Unreasonable Man".
Among them, "Haijie Diary" and "The Unreasonable Man" will both attend.
In addition, today there is an award ceremony held in the "Directors' Fortnight" section of the Cannes Film Festival, and I am also invited to be the award guest.
The Directors' Fortnight unit is hosted by the French Directors Guild and has a small jury of seven people. It is known as the purest, most innovative and exploratory unit of the Cannes International Film Festival.
The Cannes Film Festival is actually very commercial, and there are also many political considerations. The Directors’ Fortnight section makes up for Cannes’ political and commercial compromises to a certain extent.
In the Directors' Fortnight section, the "Golden Carriage Award", which is similar to the lifetime achievement award, is awarded to directors every year. King Quan is here to present this award.
When leaving the hotel, Wang Quan met Tang Yan and Wen Yongshan successively.
The former avoided directly and deliberately avoided Wang Quan, while the latter looked at Wang Quan with some anxiety, but when he saw Wang Quan's calm eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Although Wang Quan was drunk at the time, the matter was really done, and she didn't believe that the two assistants would not tell him what happened last night.
He knew, but if he wanted to pretend that nothing happened, he should be smarter and pretend that nothing happened, so she smiled at Wang Quan in a forced way.
Wang Quan nodded without saying anything, and then went to eat.
After dinner, Wang Quan went to the premiere of "The Unreasonable" first, and then went to the awards ceremony of the Directors' Fortnight section without having time to chat with the director and starring actors.
He held a scroll, opened it and announced in English: "The winner of the Golden Carriage Award is...director Jia Zhangke, congratulations!"
Although Wang Quan is only 30 years old, Jia Zhangke is only 45 years old. As a director, he is still very young, so Jia Zhangke was surprised and surprised that he could win this award.
Now Wang Quan believes what Liu Yifei said, Director Jia is an excellent actor. If you didn't know in advance, could it be that I hired so many Chinese media at the scene?
In any case, with this award, even if Chief Jia did not get it in vain, the four famous directors have taken the first step. No matter what the final result is, he is already in an invincible position.
In an interview afterwards, he said he was surprised that he had won the award at such a young age.
Wang Quan did not accept an interview. He went to the premiere of "Haijie Diary" as if rushing to a venue. The movie was screened at 16:00.
Director Hirokazu Kore-eda invited two neon male stars, Ken Watanabe and Tadanobu Asano, to help out. They are respectively the leading actors in the main competition unit "Aokigahara Jukai" and the Un Certain Regard unit "Shore Trip".
However, the star power of the two actors is not as high as that of the director Wang Quan. It can be seen from the reaction of the international media that Kore-eda Hirokazu is very happy that his film can attract such an international director to support him.
But Wang Quan only has Masami Nagasawa and Haruka Ayase in his eyes.
Although the two women sandwiched Wang Quan during the movie, they would explain the movie to his ear from time to time to prevent him from understanding it.
However, after watching the movie, Wang Quan still declined their offer to treat him to dinner.
Because Wang Quan needs to pick up someone.
Charlize Theron gave King Power a big hug after meeting him.
"I heard that your movie caused a sensation in Cannes. It's a pity that I didn't see the premiere."
"There will be a re-screening in a few days, maybe you can have a chance."
"I'm afraid there's no chance. I'll be leaving tomorrow after attending the premiere of Mad Max 4, so let's hurry up."
The time of an A-list superstar is always full of calculations. Next, she will go to Paris to participate in a Dior commercial event.
Wang Quan spent the day recuperating his strength, and finally finished his battle in the evening, finally taking care of Theron.
Then she suggested, "How about we go out and watch a movie?"
Wang Quan looked at the film schedule: "The closest time and location is the Beach Cinema where the classic restored movie "Chaos" is shown."
"Ran" by Akira Kurosawa?"
"right."
"That's it!"
In the middle of the night, it was not suitable for a man and a woman to be alone, so Wang Quan asked Xiaotian, Xiaoai and Xiaowei to go with him. Xiaotian was responsible for setting up the seats. Her English was better than Xiaoai.
Xiao Ai is strong in Japanese, so she has a good relationship with Nagasawa Masami and the others. When she went to the bathroom, she came back and told Wang Quan, "I saw Nagasawa Masami and Ayase Haruka, over there."
Wang Quan greeted them from a distance, and the two of them had already seen Theron. She is indeed a Hollywood superstar. Even the dark night cannot block her light. Director Wang Quan usually plays with such big stars, which is really amazing. !
The next day, Wang Quan attended the premiere of "Mad Max 4: Fury Road." This apocalyptic road movie was so hot and explosive that after watching it, Wang Quan strongly recommended that Pharaoh's Three Stooges introduce it.
The film has been released in North America for a week, and this time it is using Cannes as a stage for global promotion and pre-release. Warner's energy has also attracted many Hollywood stars, including King Power's old friend Naomi Watts.
So in the afternoon Wang Quan attended the premiere of the US-Japanese co-production "Aokigahara Jukai" in which she starred.
One of the leading actors in this movie is Ken Watanabe, the first brother of Neon Movies, so Wang Quan saw Masami Nagasawa and others who came to support him.
Wang Quan smiled and greeted the two sweet girls, but the movie-watching experience was not very good. Wang Quan had not watched the movie in advance. After watching it, he felt that it was terrible.
And this is also the only movie that Wang Quan has seen so far that has a lot of boos on the scene, which is also rare. It made Naomi Watts very embarrassed, so Wang Quan comforted her in the evening.
And when doing it, Naomi always stared behind Wang Quan.
"Okay, okay, I admit, that ass is mine."
"I'll just say I didn't admit my mistake!" Naomi's mood finally improved a lot.
Wang Quan then bid farewell to Naomi and went to attend the premiere promotion event of "The Flower of the Sea".
He specially called Wen Yongshan and asked her to show off in front of his best friend Yang Ying.
The film was very average, and Yang's role was very small. Wen Yongshan was very happy, so when she returned to the hotel, she pretended to be stupid and did not stop on her own floor. Instead, she followed Wang Quan to the top floor.
Wang Quan didn't hesitate too much. It was time to wake up and do it again. It didn't matter even if Fan Xiaopang knew about it. The worst they could do was tie them together.
However, Wang Quan did not promise anything. He just asked Wen Yongshan to work hard and hone her acting skills. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Early in the morning on the 16th, Xiao Wei couldn't wait to go to the airport to pick up his girlfriend Li Xian and director Wang Ziyi.
As for the heroine Liu Yifei, she has to wait until the evening to arrive, and the premiere of "Don't Tell Her" is tomorrow morning.
Before Liu Yifei's arrival, Wang Quan attended the premiere of the main competition unit "The Lobster", mainly because he was curious about this subject.
The film tells the story of a future dystopian society where single men and women will be imprisoned in a city hotel and must find a matching partner within 45 days. The loser will be turned into an animal of his own choice and exiled to the forest.
Later, Wang Quan attended the premiere of the film "The Country of Mysteries" at the invitation of Chen Kunwu Ershan.
Wang Quan is looking forward to this movie because it is not available in the film and television library yet.
Like "The Flower of the Hidden Sea", these two movies are riding on the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" when promoting overseas. From posters to translations, they are very close, especially "The Country of Mysteries" is written by the same author as "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" The works make me feel more at ease when reading them.
Wang Quan's attitude towards this is that if the film is good, you can take advantage of it. After all, except for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", there are no series of Chinese blockbusters that can successfully go out. He hopes that more Chinese blockbusters can go out.
But if the filming sucks, don’t step aside.
Director Wu Ershan does have something for making blockbusters. I heard that this movie was made with less than 200 million yuan, but the quality of the blockbuster is very good. In terms of director talent, Wang Quan thinks he surpasses Li Weiran.
In the face of questions from the media, Wang Quan did not hesitate to praise. Whether it is the male protagonists Chen Kun and Huang Bo, or the female protagonist Tang Yan, the director Wu Ershan can be said to have been affected by both rain and dew.
Hearing Wang Quan praise herself in the audience, Tang Yan couldn't help but think of the absurdity of that night a few days ago. She couldn't help but feel a little weak in her legs while wearing a skirt and high heels.
After the movie ended, Wang Quan found Tang Yan and said to her: "Liu Yifei will be here tomorrow. She has such a good relationship with Mimi and she will definitely keep a close eye on me, so today is the last night I can indulge. You can come if you want." Come."
Tang Yan looked at Wang Quan in surprise. Is he inviting me to court?
After Wang Quan finished speaking, he left. He still had an appointment with Ni Ni.
When Wang Quan came out of Ni Ni's room at night and returned to his suite, Xiao Ai pointed to the master bedroom and whispered: "There is someone waiting for you."
Wang Quan smiled and pushed the door open. Tang Yan had been here for two hours and went to bed first since he was a little sleepy.
Wang Quan did not take the initiative to disturb her, but dialed Mimi's phone number in China.
"Are you still filming?" Wang Quan asked.
"No, I'm eating right now."
Wang Quan turned on the amp, and Tang Yan had already opened his eyes.
Then Wang Quan went up and said, "It's okay, I just miss you."
Wang Quan stared at Tang Yan who covered his mouth and started talking to his wife back home.
And Mimi gradually realized that something was wrong. There was something wrong with her husband's voice, and he was exerting force.
She began to guess who put a hat on her head. Tang Yan's name floated through her mind many times because she was watching the news. Tangtang went to Cannes to promote her new film.
So Yang Mi picked up her other mobile phone and dialed Tang Yan's number.
A mobile phone was pressed against one ear, and then she heard the ringtone from the mobile phone she was talking to Wang Quan.
Even though Tang Yan hung up the phone quickly, Yang Mi still heard, "Tangtang, you've exposed your secret."
Yang Mi didn't say anything, and planned to wait for Tang Yan to come back before settling the score with her. As my best friend, you are so impatient that you insist on doing something sorry for me during my marriage?
Could it be that the meaning of best friends is mutual love? Now the only ones she can trust are Shishi and Yaya.
Wang Quan hung up the phone, and Tang Yan was finally able to speak out. If he didn't speak out anymore, he might be suffocated to death.
But she was a little scared now, "Does Mimi know?"
"Ask her yourself after you return to China." Wang Quan looked at the phone, and Sissi told him that she had already arrived in Cannes.
But she stayed in another hotel and it was too late. See you tomorrow.
At this time, Tang Yan hugged Wang Quan from behind, "Actually, I have to leave tomorrow. I am very confused tonight. Before you said those words to me, I have actually decided to see you for the last time tonight."
Wang Quan put down his phone and looked into her eyes.
She continued: "I was really touched after hearing what you said. It turns out that I still have some attraction in your eyes."
Wang Quan corrected: "It is very attractive."
These legs are unique in the entertainment industry.
"Thank you. With your words, I won't be afraid even if Mimi cuts me to pieces." Tang Yan leaned on Wang Quan's chest, "If I had known that I should stay by your side, I wouldn't be as entangled as I am now. .”
Wang Quan sighed, "Let's all look forward."
The next day, the 17th, the Un Certain Regard unit "Don't Tell Her" premiered, but the battle was comparable to the main competition unit.
Wang Quan, Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke are all here. Jia Zhangke has a good relationship with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei calls him third uncle. The two have collaborated in "We Will Never See You Again", but Liu Yifei has seen Jia Zhangke's acting skills.
And all the Chinese stars who were in Cannes that day were present.
On this day, the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3" also came to Cannes. Liu Ye, Chen Minghao, and Li Bingbing were not in a hurry to promote their own movies, but came to support "Don't Tell Her" first.
Many foreign celebrities were also called over by Wang Quan, such as Sakura Shu.
Station B's UP host "The Top Movie" also came to the premiere. This time at Cannes, he was most interested in "Parasite" and the most curious about "Don't Tell Her."
Just because he had seen the pre-roll commercial for "Don't Tell Her" during the Spring Festival, Liu Yifei's figure changes surprised him.
It can be clearly seen that nearly one-third of the people are Chinese.
Because of the special nature of this year's Cannes, it is estimated that all Chinese film lovers in France have gone to Cannes. This year, Cannes was so overcrowded that there was almost no space left on the beach, and the crowds were evacuated to nearby towns.
After the movie started, Wang Quan squeezed Sissi's hand and comforted her softly, "You are the best."
Liu Yifei heard: You are the fattest.
She pinched her belly. It was as flat as the North China Plain, but there was no fat anywhere.
However, she was really fat in the movie. Wang Quan had not seen her at her peak. When he saw her, the filming had been completed for a while, and she had already lost more than ten pounds by that time.
In the movie, she weighs 130 pounds, which may not be a big deal to an ordinary person of her height, but she is a star, and her past image of being slender and fairy-like has long been fixed in the public's mind, so the whole audience was in an uproar after she appeared.
This natural look is obviously not special effects makeup.
Actresses like Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, Ni Ni, Wen Yongshan, Tang Yan, Yang Ying and other actresses at the scene were amazed after seeing it. It was too hard, and they felt they couldn't do it anyway.
They can accept being ugly. After all, they can become beautiful again by taking off the makeup, but becoming fat...
What if I can't lose weight? What if I damage my body while trying to lose weight?
Chinese audiences may pay more attention to Liu Yifei's figure, but foreign audiences are more able to enjoy the movie itself.
The movie is about the cultural differences between the East and the West. Through her grandmother's death from cancer, the heroine living in American culture clashes with her parents' ideas.
She thought she should tell her grandma that perhaps she had some unfulfilled wishes and could use this time to complete them.
But her father and uncle, as well as her grandmother's sister, insisted on hiding it.
The story is just such a short story, but the filming is very humane, especially Zhang Tianai, who is from the Northeast, felt more deeply after watching it.
It’s hard to imagine that this was shot by an American team. It feels like many domestic teams can’t capture this real feeling. It feels like people living around you. Liu Yifei perfectly blended into this group of unknown actors. She Has your acting skills reached this level?
After the screening, there was endless applause in the theater, and most of the Chinese people gave it to Liu Yifei.
In the past, if there were still people who said that she was a bit watery as the winner of the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Image Award, those people should be able to shut up after this movie.
The movie is well done. Although it is a very low-budget art film, it does not feel boring at all.
Afterwards, Liu Yifei and other main creators went on stage to be interviewed by the media. Liu Yifei admitted that she had gained 30 pounds for the role, and she also promoted the schedule to domestic media.
The movie was released in mainland China at the end of May, hoping to take advantage of the popularity of Cannes and Liu Yifei.
As for North America, it will be later. Other overseas countries will have to see if there are companies willing to buy it.
There is not much pressure on this film to make back the money, and it is estimated that it can make back the money just by relying on the mainland. These three words, Liu Yifei, plus the topic of gaining 30 pounds, are they not worth 100 million at the box office?
The UP main movie with currently 200,000 fans went back to edit the film right after it ended. I was so lucky to have encountered another big hit, and I still have 300,000 fans!
Wang Quan finally had the opportunity to chat with Liu Yifei slowly.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xianmi, there are two aunties taking care of you, and Mimi will probably take leave to come back and look after the child..."
In the afternoon, Liu Yifei accompanied Wang Quan to attend the premiere of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian". Basically, the faces were the same as in the morning. Even Jia Zhangke came. There were rumors on the domestic Internet that Jia Zhangke and Zhang Yimou broke the ice.
China seemed particularly united at Cannes this year, and Liu Yifei knew that it was all because of her man.
When Liu Yifei came, everyone else had to step aside. The next day, Wang Quan brought Liu Yifei to attend the premiere of the main competition unit "Carol".
This is a lesbian movie, the story of a mature aunt and a little girl, and it's a bit too big.
Liu Yifei liked it very much, especially the performances of the two leading actors.
On this day, the final ratings of many movie schedules were determined...
