That's how I became famous

Chapter 617 Cannes (End)

"Wow, this person looks familiar to me, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

"Xiao, he is Xiao! The Xiao from Paris Fashion Week, I remember him!"

"It turned out to be him. I thought he was a model, but he is also a filmmaker?"

"I'm not sure about this, but he gave me the feeling that this is a person who was born for the red carpet, and he is so dazzling when he walks on the red carpet!"

"Are the other people on the red carpet his team? They're all so young!"

The surrounding journalists, media, fans and friends talked a lot.

Many people felt familiar when they saw Li Xiao.

This kind of feeling is very strange to say, because generally those who can impress them are all international superstars whose classic works are widely circulated, but for Li Xiao, the impression is too vague, only his face Looks very familiar with his figure.

As for the work, I have no impression at all.

However, most people are not disgusted, but have a feeling that he should appear on the red carpet.

The red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival can be said to be one of the most concerned red carpets in the world.

And Li Xiao should appear here.

As a result, Lu Feizhang and the others were all looked down upon.

It makes people feel that this group of young people is full of vitality and has a promising future.

She doesn't walk the red carpet many times, but Li Xiao is used to such occasions, and she doesn't feel stage fright at all.

Lu Feizhang and the others followed Li Xiao without feeling panicked for no reason, and walked very calmly, with their heads held high.

Soon, after carefully climbing the steps, under the guidance of the usher, a group of people entered the red carpet guest lounge.

Li Xiao reminded: "If you have to go to the toilet, hurry up, you may not have the chance to go later."

The usher seemed to understand Chinese, and said in English: "Yes, gentlemen, now is a good opportunity for you to solve your personal hygiene."

Now that he walked in on the red carpet and left halfway, this is a disrespect to the performance of the Cannes Film Festival, that is, disrespect to filmmakers all over the world.

Even Li Xiao understood this very well, because Yu Cai repeatedly told him not to feel bored, and to leave as soon as he said it, which is a big taboo.

After starting to watch the movie, you can't leave the movie halfway. If the movie of more than two hours is not resolved in advance, it will be very uncomfortable to hold back.

Including Li Xiao, taking advantage of this time, the group went to the bathroom.

After returning, he entered the movie theater under the guidance of the usher, and finally, the usher said goodbye and left.

"The Cannes Film Festival is really strict."

Looking at the back of the leader leaving, Lu Feizhang said with emotion.

The National College Student Film Festival does not have so many rules and regulations. The red carpet is almost as easy to walk as you like, and no one cares about it without stopping to take pictures.

Of course, if you keep on holding on, someone will urge you.

The movie-watching guests entered the venue one after another. Li Xiao took the time to look around and saw a few familiar faces, who were insiders.

When the other party and Li Xiao looked at each other, they would both smile and nod in a friendly manner, and so did Li Xiao.

Not long after, people from the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee came to the screen, said some words of thanks for coming, and without further ado, played a film that was shortlisted for the main competition this time.

More than two hours later, there was a burst of applause in the theater.

Li Xiao was also applauding. The films shortlisted for the main competition are naturally of an online standard. Whether it is the way of storytelling or the way of editing, they are all worthy of praise.

Apart from the main creators, there are a small number of ordinary audiences who have a professional understanding of movies, media people, and the rest are filmmakers like Li Xiao and the others. Everyone watching movies is unusually quiet and focused.

During the viewing period, there was almost no sound in the theater, only in some exciting parts, or it can be said that amateurs could not see the exciting parts, there were bursts of whispers. This feeling of resonance was very strange, and Li Xiao felt very A good viewing experience.

After watching the film, the main creators accepted photos and questions from the media.

With envy in his eyes, Lu Feizhang looked at the smiling creative staff in front of the screen.

Li Xiao noticed his eyes and patted his shoulder.

The reason why I don't want to accept this red carpet invitation is because of the current scene.

It’s not that I’m jealous either, it’s just that it’s not a good feeling.

Glancing at the other people, they were all like Lu Feizhang, looking at the main creators in front of the screen with envy and fighting spirit in their eyes.

What they want is their fighting spirit. Li Xiao glanced silently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and didn't say much.

"The Tuner" is undoubtedly a very successful short film.

Although it shouldn't be judged on length, they still prefer feature films.

Except for Lu Feizhang, the others were actually a bit flustered, because the evaluation of "Tuner" was so good.

Even though they knew that the soul of "Tuner" and most of the credits should be attributed to Li Xiao.

But the admiration and praise of others, the mentality is more or less affected.

After all, I am a college student, and I am not proud to shoot a short film that netizens say can be a god?

After walking the red carpet that didn't belong to them this time, and watching this movie again, their mentality must change again.

After watching the movie, there will be an official reception, similar to the after party after the Armani catwalk.

It can be said that it is also a Vanity Fair, but some filmmakers are relatively pure, and effective communication can be carried out in it.

Li Xiao and his party were also invited to the reception, but Li Xiao didn't go. He thought that on this occasion, the discussion was more about business cooperation than film exchange.

In this kind of place, it is quite difficult to meet someone with the right eye and talk about movies.

Lu Feizhang said he was going to learn more, so he took a few people with him.

After leaving the venue, he met Yu Cai and the others, and the group walked back to the hotel.

This is the advantage of booking a good hotel. Cannes is not a big place, and you can go to many places by foot. It only takes four to five minutes to get back to the hotel.

At the Cannes Film Festival, all roads will be closed. After walking the red carpet, no one will maintain order in certain passages. In this way, driving is better than walking.

It's just that walking is troublesome, Li Xiao is too lazy to find a place to change, and plans to go back to the hotel to change.

However, even if he concealed his outfit, people already knew about it. There were many domestic tourists and foreign fans, and they began to surround and scream.

Fortunately, Yu Cai was well prepared and contacted the local security personnel.

Crowded all the way, finally back to the hotel.

"Forget it, Sister Cai, if it's okay to take promotional photos for the movie, I will travel all the way here to take photos, and I will look like a popular traffic star."

Li Xiao was unwilling to go, and pleaded with his eyes.

"Aren't you a traffic star?"

Yu Cai said with a smile, "You still have a while to show your variety show, so it's a benefit for fans, don't worry, it will be soon, there won't be much time wasted, and you don't need to change clothes."

"Don't you need me to change clothes?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao shook his head even more, "If I don't go, I'm going to be so hot, I won't be allowed to change my clothes."

He is now wearing a dress, and there is an air conditioner when watching movies, so he doesn't feel hot, but walking all the way back, with so many people, it's almost too hot to explode.

He really admires and envies those male artists who walk around in formal clothes in summer and are not afraid of the heat.

I also admire female artists, especially in winter, when the temperature is in the single digits, they have to wear cool dresses.

"If you don't go, you have to go!"

Yu Cai's face was serious, "Didn't you say that you are a tool person? A tool person must have the awareness of a tool person. Hurry up and finish the filming early, and then you don't need to go out to shoot."

As she said that, her face softened again, "How about this, I will take a few photos of formal clothes in the hotel, and after the shooting, I will change into fresh clothes and go outside to shoot. Fans know that you are coming to Cannes, so you can't be a little bit Don't give them benefits."

Yu Cai played both soft and hard ways, and Li Xiao had no choice but to agree.

It's just that I don't know how I told Sister Cai that I said I was a tool man.

After all, it is a five-star hotel. Some floors are very artistically designed, and there is also the top floor, where several people took pictures.

After the photo shoot of formal attire, Li Xiao changed into comfortable clothes and went outside again.

The streets near the Palais des Festivals, as well as the beach, were photographed.

When he returned to the hotel again, Li Xiao felt that he had turned into a salted fish, paralyzed on the bed, unwilling to move for a long time, and even gave up the idea of ​​going to the e-sports room to play a few games.

Before he knew it, Li Xiao fell asleep without closing the door.

Yu Cai put the things away, took a look, and gently closed the door for him, and the others also relaxed in unison.

Wake up again, Lu Feizhang and others have come back.

Li Xiao came out and asked, "How do you feel?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, and Lu Feizhang complained: "Almost everyone at the scene is talking about cooperation, as for talking about movies, there are very few."

When it comes to cooperation, people naturally won't talk to their faces. If you don't know each other, you are not famous, and if you are not famous, you have no commercial value.

Without commercial value, what is there to talk about?

If everyone was Bole, then Bole and Maxima would not be a good story.

It also made them more aware that without Li Xiao, they would be nothing.

Chu Xiao, Chen Junjie, Huang Jiaming, and Ding Yuhang sat on the sofa in silence, somewhat disappointed.

On the contrary, Lu Feizhang was still complaining, and his emotions were normal.

He didn't want to go at first, he had never been, but he heard from Li Xiao that most of the things that would happen on such occasions.

So, he went, just to let these students see, there is still a long way to go.

This is the brutal beating of the society, which made a few of Peking University's proud sons feel frustrated.

Day two of the Cannes Film Festival.

Li Xiao and the others learned that "The Tuner" will be played at the premiere of the cornerstone unit of the movie.

Of course there was joy, but Chu Xiao and the others were not as complacent as before.

Arriving early, this time still walked the red carpet. The main creators of the premiere film have to walk the red carpet. This is a respect and a custom.

Otherwise, not only Li Xiao, but the others also didn't want to leave.

If you make too much false, it will make people forget something.

It wasn't the red carpet for the opening ceremony. Of course there weren't as many people as there were yesterday, but the red carpet walked as the main creative staff, let Li Xiao and the others feel a kind of respect for the film.

It was similar to yesterday's session, except that this time they sat in the front row and enjoyed the envious eyes of other filmmakers.

No one disdains, "Tuner" has been released on the Internet a long time ago. After learning about the shortlisted works, as an opponent and a filmmaker, it is natural to study it and have seen it a long time ago.

They all agree that "Tuner" is used as the premiere film of this unit.

Li Xiao and the others were sitting in the chief creative seat, and not far to the left were Wu Hao and others. They also walked the red carpet and came to support as friends.

The person in charge of the cornerstone unit of the film is a little old man who walked up to the screen and said, "Welcome to the premiere of the cornerstone unit of the film. Audiences who have never watched the movie will definitely not regret it. You will only be conquered by the plot of the movie." , and at the same time distressed.”

"The production team of this short film is from the ancient East. It was produced by a group of college students. They are the chief director and screenwriter Li Xiao, the assistant director Lu Feizhang, and the post-production team: Chu Xiao, Huang Jiaming, Chen Junjie, and Ding Yuhang!"

The introduction of the members was made by Li Xiao to Yu Cai to report in this way, and it may be the only crew whose members' names can be read in such detail.

When the person in charge finished reading the names of the main creators, there was applause at the scene. Except for some filmmakers, most people had never seen it, but this is the respect given to the film.

The person in charge smiled and continued: "They are a group of young people full of vigor and imagination. Their movie is not as young as their age. It is a very good and mature suspenseful short film. Next, let us wait and see!"

Soon, the movie begins.

In the short twelve-minute plot, various reversals and climaxes made foreign audiences overwhelmed and stunned.

During the period, Lu Feizhang and the others were very nervous, for fear that the film would be unacceptable when it came here.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Xiao complained with a smile, "You see these foreigners are so pitiful, they don't even know how to say shit."

At the end of the movie, thunderous applause greeted us.

Not surprisingly, the excellence of "The Tuner" conquered filmmakers, audiences and media professionals from all over the world.

Some viewers even said excitedly that this is one of the best short films in the past ten years.

Editing without procrastination, fully in place shots, plot reversals, and post-production such as dubbing and color grading.

They all talked about the excellence of this film, and what surprised them even more was that this excellent short film was shot by a group of college students.

"Let's go and enjoy the glory that belongs to us."

Li Xiao smiled at them.

A group of people left their seats and came to the screen. The spotlight was the same as yesterday, and it was like lightning and thunder. The difference was that they no longer deserved it.
