The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 399 The International Stage Is Right There
Cannes Film Festival.

The news that Hong Chen was nominated for Best Actor quickly spread throughout China.

You know, being nominated for Best Actor in Cannes is itself a recognition of strength.

Therefore, although "Chongzhen" has not yet been officially released, it has already gained a lot of popularity in China.

#洪除推荐威尼影帝# This trending search has rapidly increased in popularity.

In China, the attention of the Cannes Film Festival was not too high, but this time, because of Hong Chen, the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival was unprecedented.

"Cannes best actor nomination, amazing!"

"Haha, you are indeed my male god."

"Can I win the prize again?"

"It really gives Chinese people a face."

Fans were thrilled, and passersby applauded it.

There are really too few Chinese actors who can be nominated for Best Actor in Cannes.

The Cannes Film Festival is deeply favored by Chinese stars. Every year, many Chinese female stars go to the Cannes Film Festival to rub the red carpet.

This also includes many top streamers.

Every year after the Cannes Film Festival, there will be posts about "A certain actress overwhelms a certain actress" and "A certain actress made a stunning appearance at the Cannes Film Festival".

In fact, there are many female stars who stay on the red carpet for too long in order to rub the red carpet, and they will be ruthlessly expelled by the security guards.

For some heat and traffic, they are willing to take such a risk.

As of now, Huaxia has not had a film shortlisted for the main competition for three consecutive years.

The director of the Cannes Film Festival faced interviews with the Chinese media and said directly: Chinese films are too commercial.

As a result, a very miraculous scene appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, that is, there were very few Chinese films shortlisted, but the red carpet outside the screen was occupied by Chinese female stars.

Looking at the entertainment news flying all over the sky later, I thought these people had won awards.

There are four kinds of people who appeared at the Cannes Film Festival.

The first is the judges, that is, the guests invited by the government. Gong Li and Maggie Cheung were judges in those years.Gong Li even made the opening guest:
It is the first star to walk the red carpet, and she will be given the clearing treatment directly. She can only leave after others.

The second is to rely on the works to be shortlisted.

The third is because of the brand spokesperson.Although Fan Shuishui had no works back then, it was because she was the spokesperson for Ou Bluetooth Paris and Chopard Jewelry, both of which were sponsors of Cannes, so she could attend for work.

There are no works that frequently walk on the red carpet, and Fan Shuishui was also dubbed the "carpet star" back then.

The last one is brazenly rubbing the red carpet. Some top stars in the entertainment industry have done this kind of thing.

Hong Chen was officially shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival this year with his work.

Cannes, France, is a beautiful city. The reason why the French Minister of Art originally founded this film festival here is because the climate here is very comfortable.

Hong Chen brought Ge Chen to Cannes to participate in the film festival. Ge Chen had contacted the Cannes organizing committee before and was familiar with this place.

A few days before the official awards and announcement of the list, the film festival will announce the broadcast time of the shortlisted films, and those who participate in the film festival can go and watch them at that time.

Only key members of the jury and film are eligible to sit in the front row, though.

The premiere of "Chongzhen" is two days later.

The more important the film, the more it will be filmed later, which is also the usual method of the organizing committee.

This movie has high hopes from many people. As one of the few films in China that entered the main competition unit of Cannes, both the audience in China and actors like Hong Chen very much hope that "Chongzhen" can win the award.

On this day, he appeared in the movie theater wearing a black suit. The suit had obviously been taken care of, without any wrinkles on it.

As soon as he appeared, many people recognized him and turned their heads to look around.

Hong Chen now has a certain reputation internationally.

The movie Hong Chen watched today was another Huaxia movie: "Old Calf".

This movie was made by the famous Chinese director Feng Xiaogang.Feng Xiaogang is a formidable character, and his ability as a director is beyond words.

Hong Chen sat in the movie theater, looked around, and found that the seats were relatively full, but most of the people were very embarrassed.

In fact, it was normal. Most of the stars who came to the Cannes Film Festival only participated in the opening ceremony and awards show to join in the fun.As for the review process and links in the middle, they didn't pay attention at all.

Hong Chen sat in the movie theater and watched "Old Calf" quietly.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed.

This movie is about an old gangster who doesn't have much talent, he can speak some slang words when encountering problems, and he can pretend to be empty with young people.

Something happened to his son, he had no money to settle it, and no one could settle it, so he ran to pretend to be a rich second generation Wu Yifan, but he still had to lose money in desperation, and raising money with his friends was full of quack talk.

In the end, he made an appointment with the rich second generation Wu Yifan, and wrote a letter to report the other party before the appointment.

The key point is that Wu Yifan, as the top rich second generation, has dozens of younger brothers, and he still eats his quack morality, so let him play it round
When watching this movie, what Hong Chen thought was that the other party was Wu Yifan, not Mr. Zhao.

If this is Mr. Zhao, just saving his son, he would have been beaten into an unknown state.

"Director Feng wants to reflect the morals of the older generation. They are very face-saving when they are doing nothing. It is difficult to resonate with people."

"However, different people have different opinions. There is nothing to say about the shooting techniques and the creation of the atmosphere."

Hong Chen thought about it in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Then, Hong Chen planned to get up and leave.Coincidentally, he happened to meet Feng Xiaogang head-on in the corridor.

Feng Xiaogang and Hong Chen looked at each other, and Hong Chen thought that as Chinese people who could be shortlisted in the Cannes Film Festival at the same time, the two of them would at least feel a little familiar from their hometown.

But just when he wanted to say hello to Director Feng, Feng Xiaogang gave him a cold look.

There was a bit of undisguised disdain in his eyes.

Seeing his indifferent expression, the smile on Hong Chen's face slowly disappeared.

He frowned suspiciously: Why does Feng Xiaogang seem to have a problem with him?
"What's the situation?" Hong Chen thought to himself.

Hong Chen left without thinking too much.

Later, Hong Chen and Ge Chen got to know it, and then they understood.

"You don't know, Feng Xiaogang spent a lot of hard work on the filming of "Old Calf". At that time, he also created a lot of momentum in China. He came for the Palme d'Or, the main competition in Cannes." Ge Chen smiled. explained.

"What else? His ambition is not low."

Hong Chen sighed.

You know, the Palme d'Or is arguably one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.For so many years in China's film history, the only work that has won the Palme d'Or is "Farewell My Concubine".

"Yes, but unfortunately, when it was shortlisted for the main competition, "Old Calf" did not compete with "Chongzhen"."

"Feng Xiaogang's film has been dropped from the main competition unit to the "Un Certain Regard" competition unit."

The highlight of the Cannes Film Festival is the main competition unit, and everything else is just a name.

Therefore, Director Feng harbored a faint grudge against Hong Chen.

There is one thing to say, Director Feng is a character, and the director's level can't be said, but he just doesn't have a big heart.

In the parallel world, Feng Dao's "Old Paoer" lost to Deng Chao's "Scorching Sun" in the competition for the best actor. So far, Deng Chao has been ridiculed by Feng Dao.

Of course, it's because Deng Chao and Deng Chao often quarreled when they were filming under Director Feng.It's just that Brother Chao's two production crews are running back and forth, and Director Feng can't see Deng Chaoren, so he has a long-standing grudge against him.

To be honest, "Old Paoer" is not bad, but his performance in it is really not as good as Deng Chao's performance in "Scorching Sun", and Deng Chao's actor deserves his name.

But in this world, Hong Chen won the Best Actor with "Scorching Sun", but he hadn't met Feng Xiaogang at that time.

But now in Cannes, as if destined, Director Feng appeared again.

Only then did Hong Chen come to his senses. A while ago, he occasionally saw a Weibo posted by Director Feng:
"Some people, relying on a few good scripts to succeed in commercial films, think that the art circle is as simple as that. But let me tell you, you are still too immature!"

At that time, many people speculated who Feng Xiaogang was scolding.

Hong Chen now realized that this should be talking about him.

He shrugged indifferently.

In this line of work, the higher you go, the more people will be jealous of you. If anyone makes a mockery, you will answer, then Hong Chen doesn't have to do anything else.

Hong Chen's idea was simple.

The international stage is there, and whether they can win awards depends on their ability.
