Chapter 630 Happy New Year

The news that Cheng Yu'an was elected as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival has indeed caused a lot of disturbance and controversy in the world film circle.

He is so young!
A director should be at the age of 40-60 when he has the most creative energy. Cheng Yuan graduated in 02, and his first feature film was released in 03. It has only been more than 10 years since his debut, and he is only 33 years old. This age is still a child in the director circle. .

The mainstream media in the mainland of course warmly congratulated and praised Cheng Yu'an's historic election as the chairman of Cannes.

Chinanews.com published a special graphic report on its official website: "Cheng Yu'an served as the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival".

The film channel also notified the news on its official website, and congratulated on Weibo: "my country's outstanding director Cheng Yu'an received an invitation from Cannes yesterday and was confirmed to be the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is the second time for a Chinese director. It is the first time a mainland filmmaker serves as the chairman of Cannes."

The next day, Yangma's morning and noon news followed up and reported the news and sent congratulations.

The evening news broadcast will be broadcast again!
There is still more than a minute of interview footage. The interview was sent to do it early the next morning. In the preparation team of "The Wandering Earth", behind Cheng Yu'an is the concept poster of the Wandering Earth. It is considered a pre-publicity for the news network to shoot it .

The comrades who came to interview didn’t say much. Cheng Yu’an is an old acquaintance, and “The Wandering Earth” is also a major movie with the full support of the above, and no one will say anything if they shoot some materials and promote it in advance.

But the comments from Hong Kong and Taiwan are almost meaningless.

There are many congratulations and praises, but there are also many yin and yang eccentrics.

"Being the chairman of the jury at the age of 33 is a hype for Pierre to take office." The spearhead pointed at the new director of the film festival Pierre Lescur.

"Let's not talk about whether Cheng Yu'an is eligible to be elected. Cannes's decision to choose the chairman so rashly is a trample on the 68-year history of the film festival!"

"Cheng Yu'an is good at pleasing the audience. His films never care about the social status quo. With such a person as the chairman, it is conceivable that this will be the worst film festival." See, "Apple Daily."

However, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are still very polite to Cheng Yu'an's election.

The chairman of the Academy Awards, Chen Jiashang, even publicly announced that he hoped to invite Cheng Yu'an to join the professional jury of the Academy Awards.

His apprentice, Lin Chaoxian, has already taken the remote filming of "Operation Mekong". He thought he could use this to ease the relationship with Cheng Yu'an, but Cheng Yu'an did not reply to his invitation.

On the contrary, most overseas film media welcomed Cheng Yu'an as the new chairman of the Cannes jury.

"Old Cannes welcomes young." The Hollywood Reporter

British "Sight and Sound": "Because of his age, we always used to call him an excellent young director, but in fact, he has long been the best director in the world..." The author bluntly stated later, "Whether it is In terms of business or art, abandoning Cheng Yu'an is the most stupid decision Barbara has ever made."

As for whether Alberto Barbara, who is far away in Venice, will regret it, Cheng Yu'an doesn't know.

However, since he has taken over the post of chairman, he has to shout for the film festival platform.

Cheng Yu'an gave full play to her influence in the domestic and foreign film circles, and made a full appearance in the past few days, attracting exposure for the film festival.

The registration for the Cannes Film Festival has not yet ended. Many directors at home and abroad are really considering whether to send their films to Cannes because of Cheng Yu'an's election.

Cheng Lingfeng said that she would bring "The Danish Girl" to Cannes to help him.

Cheng Yu'an quickly dispelled her idea: "Don't make trouble with me, "Carol" is in Cannes, you bring "The Danish Girl" over here and beat yourself up. "The Danish Girl" will go to Venice." After thinking about it again, he said , "In this way, if you let the crew of "The Intern" and "The Collapse of Doom" come to Cannes to promote, and then bring a group of people from China, this year's Cannes will not be ugly."

There are Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway in "The Intern", and Dwayne Johnson in "Collapse", all of which are international big names.

How many people were waiting to see Cheng Yu'an humiliated, how could Cheng Yu'an let them get their wish.

The good news of Cannes was washed away by the joy of the New Year within a few days.

"If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have been able to sing a song this year." Liu Yifei, who came back from the racecourse to accompany her grandfather to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, leaned on the sofa, remembering that she had rejected the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, she was suddenly overwhelmed with anger, and thumped hard The husband punched him, "It's all my fault, it delayed my work."

After being punched inexplicably, Cheng Yu'an feigned anger and said, "I'm still to blame, and I'm to blame you. In order to celebrate the New Year with you, every year I say I don't have time and I can't go to the live show. The leaders think I'm too airy, so please don't move. "

This year's Spring Festival Gala has a large scale, especially the theme of anti-corruption. Happy Twist brought "Do What You Like", Miao Fu and Wang Sheng have "This Is Not Mine", but in comparison, "Do What You Like" is even better Spicy and more ironic.

"Hehehe~" The little sister was so happy that her teeth came out.

"Is it fun?" Cheng Yu'an peeled the oranges and ate them.

"Well, I really like Shen Teng and Ma Li, and I've seen their plays before. Ah—" Liu Yifei opened his mouth to feed.

Cheng Yu'an stuffed an orange into her mouth: "Shen Teng is a very good person. The company is planning to promote Happy Twist in comedy, and this year there will be a special variety show for comedy talent... Did you listen to me?"

Liu Yifei was listening to Cheng Yu'an, staring at the TV, laughing silly.

"Oh, whoever listens to you talking about work and watching TV during the New Year's Eve."

Also, the happy Chinese New Year family, who has the leisure to talk to you about work.

Mother Liu didn't want to mix in with the young couple. After finishing the business in the store, she went back to her hometown in Jiangcheng to spend the New Year with Liu Yifei's grandma two days ago.

Aunt Zhao, the nanny, was also sent home by Cheng Yu'an on vacation, and agreed to come back to work on the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Now only the couple are left in the house.

Not long after Cheng Yu'an sat down, the phone started ringing.

Wechat, SMS, and direct phone calls.

"Take it," Liu Yifei gave Cheng Yu'an a blank look, and said, "Every New Year must not stop."

Cheng Yu'an pinched his wife's fat face due to pregnancy, and walked aside to answer the phone and reply to the message.

"Zhang Ju, happy new year and happy new year."

"Mr. Wang, everything is fine at home."

"Boss Ye, you have worked hard."

"Brother Qian'er, please take care of the racecourse, take care of it, and have a drink when you have time."

"La Dong, the movie hasn't been decided yet. I really don't have time for the spring new movie promotion meeting. It's the same for you to find Zhixi and Sister Fang. They talk much better than me, the chairman, hahahaha."

After Cheng Yu'an had finished dealing with domestic affairs, he still had to engage in relations with his partners in Japan and South Korea, and Europe and the United States also put on a show to wish Cheng Yu'an New Year's greetings.

After making phone calls outside, Liu Yifei went back to bed early, and "Unforgettable Tonight" on TV was about to start.
