I'm not just a director

Chapter 44 Acquaintances
Jiang Pei'an and his party set off from the Capital Airport.

There is no direct airport in Beijing to Cannes, and a transfer is required on the way.

The route of Jiang Pei'an and others was a transfer from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

Then wait for the flight to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, and then proceed to Cannes from the airport upon arrival.

The entire route takes about 14 hours or so.

Jiang Pei'an is not the first time to go abroad, nor is it the first time to go to Cannes.

In the translation of Hong Kong Province, Cannes is called "Cannes", while in Taiwan Province it is translated as "Cannes".

In addition to the world's top film festival, Cannes is also a tourist destination, and there are a lot of people who come here for vacation and tourism every year.

After the plane landed, Qin Hao looked tired, and Hu Jing had never been on such a long plane before, and her face was a little pale.

Jiang Pei'an walked in front supporting Hu Jing, while Qin Hao was holding a suitcase with one hand and a bag hanging around his neck.

From a distance, I thought Jiang Pei'an and Hu Jing were a loving couple on vacation.

Qin Hao is the follower called by the two, and there is no tip...

Jiang Pei'an can speak English, but it is limited to oral communication.

As for literacy, it almost belongs to the sixth grade of elementary school students in our country.

After arriving at the hotel that had been booked in advance, Jiang Pei'an asked the two of them to go back to the room to rest and recuperate, before going out to enjoy the night view of Cannes at night.

Jiang Pei'an went out alone and got a mobile phone card and stuffed it into the phone. Now the domestic card cannot be used abroad.

Walking on the tree-lined path, Jiang Pei'an felt like revisiting his old place in a trance.

He has only been to Cannes once, and he followed his "thigh" in his last life to meet the world.

At that time, the thigh communicated smoothly with the locals, but he could only stand by like a fool, at a loss.

After returning to China, Jiang Pei'an studied foreign languages ​​hard. French was impossible and too difficult.

He had no choice but to choose the simplest English and the most practical.

Will it touch the thigh in Cannes?

Jiang Pei'an suddenly had such an idea in his mind.

Soon he shook his head, thighs are now considered to be a little famous in the country.

But in 1999... She should still be acting in the drama "No, you came at the right time" with Instant Noodles.

Jiang Pei'an was a little curious, how would she react when he stood in front of his lap after he became famous?
There should be no reaction, after all, in this life, the two don't know each other yet...

After a stroll outside, when it was getting dark, Jiang Pei'an accompanied Hu Jing and Qin Hao out to get some fresh air and eat some food.

Although the hotel provides meals, everyone knows to eat some local specialties when traveling, let alone going abroad.

But gradually the three of them began to miss the domestic food.

French cuisine is characterized by a wide selection of ingredients, such as snails and foie gras, which are delicious in French cuisine.

The processing is fine, the production is exquisite, the taste can be thick or light, and there are many varieties of designs and colors.

French cuisine is more particular about eating half-cooked or raw food, but the three of Jiang Pei'an can't stand it.

After this pause, Wu Zang Temple must rebel and revolt.

In the end, Jiang Pei'an took the two of them wandering around the streets, and found a Chinese restaurant after many twists and turns.

It doesn't matter what they are eating, even rice and steamed buns have become extremely delicious in their eyes today.

After the three of them dealt with the first meal in Cannes, they lost interest in playing and went directly back to the hotel to rest.

Jiang Pei'an's hotel is not far from the main venue of Cannes, it takes about 15 minutes to walk.

The next day, Jiang Pei'an took the two of them to the main venue to verify their identities, register in the register, and got tickets to the film festival.

The 52nd Cannes Film Festival will be held on May 12th, and there are still two days before the opening.

Since yesterday, the number of people near the film festival has doubled, and people of all races and languages ​​are hovering in this beautiful town.

From time to time, some reporters and media took pictures of people passing by with long guns and short cannons.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, a white man suddenly stopped in front of them enthusiastically.

He danced and said nonsense, Jiang Pei'an frowned.

The whites switched to English after realizing they couldn't understand French and asked:
"Korean?"

Jiang Pei'an shook his head.

"RB people?"

Jiang Pei'an still shook his head and said in English:

"Chinese people."

"Oh, Chinese people..."

The white man shrugged his shoulders, without the enthusiasm just now:
"Then you are fans of KaigeChen?"

Kaige Chen is the English name of Director Chen. His "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" this year was selected for the main competition unit.

Jiang Pei'an said directly:

"We have our own film shortlisted for the exhibition, please step aside, thank you."

The white man shrugged his shoulders and got out of the way. Seeing Jiang Pei'an and the others leave, he muttered behind him:

"What else does Huaxia have besides kung fu and misery films? Kaige Chen's film this time seems to be history.

I guess it won't win the prize, the judges like politics, war, life and humanity, oh yes, suffering..."

The white man was still chattering in the background, and Jiang Pei'an cursed "crazy" with an unswerving expression.

Hu Jing asked curiously:
"Director, who is he? Why are you stopping us?"

"cattle."

Jiang Pei'an said.

The Cannes Film Festival collects tickets, so it has also spawned a lot of scalpers in the local area.

After Jiang Pei'an finished the conversation between the two just now, Hu Jing was very angry.

It is not a joke that Chinese people are mistaken for Korean and RB people abroad, but a very common phenomenon.

This phenomenon continued until around the turn of the millennium.

Chinese who go abroad are approached enthusiastically by local girls, and 90% of the locals will think they are RB or Korean.

Some people even gestured to the dance moves of Korean girl groups.

Or doing the signature moves of RB's anime image.

But after knowing that they are from Huaxia, most people immediately shirk their business and want to leave.

Or express disinterest very bluntly.

Even when checking in at a hotel abroad, the front desk staff can speak Chinese, but they can still communicate with people in Japanese...

However, this situation will change drastically in the next 10 years or so.

As long as a foreigner sees you speaking Chinese, he can turn to laugh instantly even if he is crying.

Some large luxury stores in Europe and the United States are also equipped with shopping guides who can speak Chinese!
Jiang Pei'an did not expect that this kind of thing that would be regarded as a joke in later generations would happen to him.

He shook his head, suppressed the irritability in his heart and went back to his room to study the brochure of the film festival.

The film festival was held for 22 days in total, and a total of [-] films were shortlisted for the main competition unit. The shortlist is as follows.

Jiang Pei'an browsed one by one and saw many familiar names.

"Heaven and Earth": Yu Liwei.

After seeing the name, Jiang Pei'an closed the manual and murmured:

"Yu Liwei is here, I don't know if Lao Jia has come this time..."
