Chapter 161 Cannes Trivia
Cannes is located near Nice, a harbor city in the south of France. It has a typical Mediterranean scenery. There are more than 300 days of sunny weather in a year. It is a good tourist destination.

The small town of Cannes is nestled at the foot of the green hills, and the Riviera Bay surrounds several small towns near the sea, forming a unique geographical location.

5000-meter-long sandy beach, flowers that never fade in all seasons.Walking in the city, white buildings, blue sea, and rows of tall green palm trees set off each other, forming a beautiful natural scenery of the Mediterranean town.

Sophisticated, elegant and charming are the evaluations of the small city of Cannes by the world.

But what really makes Cannes famous in the world is the Cannes International Film Festival held here from mid-May to the end of May every year.

Founded in 1946, the Cannes International Film Festival is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today.

The Cannes Film Festival is the first member of the International Film Producers Association Film Festival Committee, and is known as the world's three major international film festivals together with the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival. Its highest award is the Palme d'Or.

In terms of influence, the Cannes International Film Festival ranks first among the three major international film festivals. Countless films regard it as one of the highest palaces, and every year it attracts outstanding filmmakers from all over the world to participate in the exhibition with their own works.

Chinese-language filmmakers are no exception. In 1960, "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by the famous director Li Hanxiang was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival, which was the first Chinese-language film to be shortlisted.

Many people have never seen Li Hanxiang's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Sister Zu Xian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is more than [-] years later than this version.

Zhang Hao hasn't actually watched it either, but he has watched "Concubine Yang" directed by Li Hanxiang and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain".

It is worth mentioning that "Yang Guifei" won the Cannes Film Festival Indoor Color Cinematography Special Award, which was the first time a Chinese-language film won an award at Cannes Film Festival in 1962.

The time came to 1982, and "The True Story of Ah Q" directed by Cen Fan was shortlisted for the main competition unit, representing mainland films to participate in the Cannes International Film Festival for the first time.

In 1990, "Ju Dou" directed by Guoshi won the first Luis Bunuel Award. This award was won by Guoshi when it was established that year, and it was the first time a mainland film won.

Then in 1993, "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Gezi won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was the only time a Chinese-language film won this award.

With this award, Chen Gezi has reached the pinnacle of his personal directing career, and after that, it is basically going downhill.

After that, in 1994, Uncle Ge became the first Chinese-language film actor to win the best actor in Cannes with "To Live" directed by Guoshi.

In 1997, Wong Kar-wai won the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival with "Happy Together", and he was also the first Chinese-language film director to win this award.

Over the next decade or so, Chinese-language films continued to hit the Cannes Film Festival, and Edward Yang won the Best Director Award for "Yi Yi".

Jiang Wen won the jury award for "The Devil Is Coming". Of course, he was banned for several years.

Leung Chiu Wai won Best Actor with Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love", Maggie Cheung also won best actress with "Clean" directed by French director Olivier Assayas.

The most recent Chinese-language film and Cannes Film Festival was in 2009. "A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze" directed by Lou Ye and written by Mei Feng won the Best Screenplay Award.

The reason for listing these award-winning histories is to clearly explain the importance of the Cannes Film Festival to filmmakers from all over the world, especially Chinese-speaking filmmakers.

Except for North America, which doesn't care about the world and concentrates on hosting the Oscars, filmmakers from other places are all proud to be recognized by the Cannes Film Festival.

And now, it's Zhang Hao's turn, and his "The Undertaker".

Although "The Undertaker" has already won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, some domestic sour guys still say that Zhang Hao licks the Oscar.

Today Zhang Hao will participate in the Cannes Film Festival openly and aboveboard, telling those narrow-minded guys clearly: I Zhang Hao not only won the Oscar, but also the Palme d'Or, so I ask you if you are angry?
National teacher Chen Gezi can lick it, but I, Zhang Hao, can't?
I lick openly and aboveboard, unlike some villains who clearly yearn for it but have no ability to get it, and then turn to envy others and say some slanderous words.

Everything in the world is bad here.

It's obviously a good thing, it's the glory of Chinese-language filmmakers, but some people insist on breaking up and don't regard you as their own.

These people are not much better than those who really worship foreigners, but the bad things are different.

"Zhang Hao, hurry up and take a picture for me." Da Mimi was wearing a bohemian-style dress, standing in the middle of the street in the small town of Cannes.

The breeze brushed the ends of her hair, causing slight ripples.

The petals of the rose flowers planted on the balconies of the surrounding residential buildings fell and floated into Da Mimi's hair with the wind, forming a picture scroll of summer beauty.

Ever since, Zhang Hao was caught as a strong man, and Da Mi Mi stuffed her with a camera to take some beautiful photos of her.

Zhang Hao complained while taking pictures: "I said, can't you find a professional photographer? You must find me, the second knife, to take pictures."

"It's because I couldn't find it, so I took you to take pictures!" Da Mimi said naturally.

Seeing that Zhang Hao finished shooting, she was almost in shape, so she ran over cheerfully: "See how it looks?"

"Look for yourself..." Zhang Hao handed the camera to Da Mimi, and he quickly avoided the glare and sat down on the awning seat of the cafe beside him.

Da Mi Mi followed suit, sat down with Zhang Hao, and exclaimed: "As expected of being a director, the color control of this picture is no worse than that of the photographers in the magazine."

The waiter came over and asked in English, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Zhang Hao casually ordered two cups of coffee. There was no Chinese tea sold here, and he asked Da Mimi: "It's been so long, do you want to eat something?"

"Okay, okay, I feel hungry too." Da Mimi put down the camera and ordered a few snacks.

The waiter went to place the order, while Zhang Hao and Da Mimi sat on the seats along the street, looking at the beach where the crowd gathered in the distance, chatting happily about what they saw at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Yesterday, I went to the beach with Miss Zhou Xun and met Fan Binbing." Da Mimi said.

"When?"

"When you and Brother Hua went to the tavern to drink, Fan Binbing took a team of photographers to take various portrait photos on the beach." Da Mi Mi said, and asked Zhang Hao with a puzzled face:
"If I remember correctly, Fan Binbing didn't have any works shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, so can she come?"

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at Da Mimi and said: "I asked knowingly, don't many domestic actresses do this? Come and rub the red carpet.

You are better than them, and you are aboveboard. "

Da Mi Mi pouted and said unconvinced: "How can I be called fair and aboveboard? Although I have no skills, my skill is to find a capable boyfriend and ask him to take me to various foreign film festivals."

"You can speak so confidently, your face has been tempered." Zhang Hao smiled.

Just in time, the coffee and snacks were served, and the two of them enjoyed this unique Mediterranean-style afternoon tea.

On some domestic platforms, I often receive various petty bourgeois young women showing off their beautiful life enjoying afternoon tea on social platforms, which arouses the envy of many netizens.

But perhaps only those young women with petty bourgeoisie can understand the pain.

After afternoon tea, Zhang Hao and Da Mimi took advantage of the evening wind and walked back to the hotel where they were staying at a slow pace.

As a popular star, it is the first time to participate in the Cannes International Film Festival. The brand side of the big power will naturally prepare various activities.

Take photos like Fan Binbing on the beach, or take some photos of the red carpet show.

However, the photo shoot on the beach was finished yesterday, and the red carpet show will be tomorrow night, so today is a private rest time for Da Mimi and Zhang Hao.

It's been a long time since the two of them walked the streets holding hands like this, just like ordinary couples.

But this wish is doomed to be unfulfilled in China. No matter Zhang Hao or Da Mi Mi, they all have a large number of fans and movie fan bases in China.

If we went shopping in China hand in hand like today, the street would probably be blocked on the spot.

"It's been a long time since I've been so happy, it's so comfortable!" Although Da Mimi returned to the hotel after walking for a day, he immediately collapsed on the bed, but he still made a very happy voice.

Zhang Hao was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too busy with work and don't have much time to accompany you."

"Don't say these things anymore, I don't think you are sorry for me, but I think my boyfriend is very enterprising, so I am very happy." Da Mimi hooked Zhang Hao's neck, and looked into Zhang Hao's eyes with a pair of autumn water .

Just these tender eyes, few men can resist.

Zhang Hao promised: "After finishing the Batman project, let's go on a trip and have a good long vacation."

"Okay, this is what you said, don't go back on your word, and then don't have endless work." Da Mimi followed Zhang Hao's movements and patted his thigh: "Now, I order you to take a shower quickly, It stinks of sweat."

Zhang Hao was like an artilleryman who received an order, and immediately fired: "Design..."

silent night...

The next day, the awards ceremony for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival will be held. Da Mi Mi has restored the image of a big star with a full of vigor and an outstanding demeanor from the lingering little woman yesterday.

The well-arranged styling team quickly made styling for Da Mi Mi, and the prepared dresses, jewelry and other things were delivered early in the morning.

The Cannes red carpet show is the most common scene for domestic actresses to rub the red carpet. After all, not everyone can go to the red carpet of the Oscars.

For the red carpet of every awards ceremony, Da Mi Mi attaches great importance to her own styling.

After all, she doesn't look good when she dresses up, and even when she goes back, she's too embarrassed to publish a press release that overwhelms everyone.

Looking at the well-dressed Da Mimi, Zhang Hao couldn't help thinking, if Fan Ye also published a press release to overwhelm the crowd, then who of the two of them will overwhelm the other?
Or is it that the two of them teamed up to overwhelm foreign beauty?
But Zhou Xun didn't seem to be very interested in the matter of being gorgeous, and he didn't make any elaborate styling.

Starting from the morning, in order to maintain her figure and ensure that the dress fits well, after dressing up and putting on the dress, Da Mi Mi stopped eating a little, and even rarely drank water.

Actresses are still very hard. An award ceremony will be hungry for a whole day, and Zhang Hao feels uncomfortable watching it.

However, Zhang Hao couldn't tell the words of persuasion, after all, Da Mi Mi himself attached great importance to this occasion.

So, Zhang Hao thought about taking Da Mimi to have a French meal after the award ceremony, although he himself was never used to eating that stuff.

As "The Undertaker", which won the Oscar for the best foreign language film, the crew received high-level preferential treatment from the organizing committee, not only for the finale appearance, but also for the red carpet time.

Now Da Mimi doesn't have to worry about being chased away by the red carpet security, she can pose with peace of mind.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi officially set off from the hotel and arrived at the red carpet scene at [-]:[-].

Hua Tsai and Zhou Xun walked by, now it's Zhang Hao and Da Mimi's turn.

It deserves to be the top of the three major film festivals, at least the atmosphere of the red carpet is fine, fans on both sides did not give applause and cheers just because they didn't know Zhang Hao and Da Mi Mi.

On the contrary, the applause was very warm, mixed with a lot of cheers in Chinese, presumably from movie fans traveling from China.

Zhang Hao left the red carpet stage to Da Mimi to pose, let her be gorgeous, and interacted with fans on both sides of the red carpet.

One of the fiery blondes was so daring that she took off her top and asked Zhang Hao to sign her collarbone.

Zhang Hao's expression remained unchanged, trying to ignore the two lumps of flesh on her chest, not comparing it with Da Mimi's, and calmly signed.

The big Mi Mi style is almost ready, and the two continue to walk through the red carpet journey.

The poster of this year's Cannes Film Festival is the forever sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe. The poster of her holding a candle seems to be celebrating the 65-year-old Cannes Film Festival.

It's just that Marilyn Monroe herself only lived to be 36 years old. This blessing poster has a bit of a thrilling feeling in it.

"The Undertaker" is not the only Chinese-language film corps participating in the Cannes Film Festival. "The Mystery of the Floating City" directed by Lou Ye and starring Hao Lei and Qin Hao also participated in Cannes Films and was shortlisted for Un Certain Regard.

Before the awards ceremony started, Lou Ye specially brought the main creators of "The Mystery of Ups and Downs" over to have a chat with the crew of "The Undertaker".

"Director Zhang, I hope we can all gain something today." Lou Ye shaved his head and looked like a gangster, but the shots in his video were extremely delicate.

The third master didn't like directors like Lou Ye very much, and Zhang Hao had little contact with these directors of literary films before.

But it doesn't look like the rumored, bad tempered and difficult to get along with.

"I also wish you all the best of luck." Zhang Hao shook hands with Lou Ye, and then said to Qin Hao, "What are you up to now? Haven't contacted for so long?"

Qin Hao said: "I'm not busy with anything? I've been filming with Director Lou all the time."

"You are almost becoming Director Lou's queen male lead. You have made too many literary and artistic films, and occasionally you have to shoot commercial films." Zhang Hao said, and said to Lou Ye: "I borrowed Qin Hao, you won't Director Lou?"

"How come? Borrow casually. No matter how many literary films are made, commercial films are needed." Lou Ye said with a feeling of self-deprecation.

Originally, the circle of their literary films has never received much attention from the mainstream media, and even most of the films he shot were banned.

Only directors at the level of Guoshi Chen Gezi received attention for their literary films.

But since the birth of Zhang Hao and his "The Undertaker", the art film circle's way of entertaining itself has been a bit difficult.

You said "The Undertaker" is not a literary film, but the film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, an award that Lou Ye couldn't even imagine.

You want to say that "The Undertaker" is a literary film, but it earned 2.4 million at the domestic box office, maintaining the record for the highest box office of a literary film.

Even this achievement is an achievement that many domestic commercial films cannot achieve, which is enviable.

High box office and literary films never seem to go hand in hand, but Zhang Hao did it.

In addition to the so-called film art, making a literary film is more profit!How good it is to make a literary film like Zhang Hao, without being banned and praised constantly!

Lou Ye couldn't help feeling envious of Zhang Hao, a young director. What is a successful director? A successful director who grabs both box office awards.

In Lou Ye's view, Zhang Hao is fully qualified to be the Spielberg of Chinese-language films. They are all fast shooters, directors with outstanding commercial achievements, and directors who keep winning awards.

If Zhang Hao knew what Lou Ye was thinking, he would definitely refute Lou Ye.

What quick shooter?Not fast at all, okay?If you don’t believe me, ask Da Mi Mi, is he fast?

The crews of the two sides started friendly exchanges. This scene was recorded by the Chinese media who came here, and they will report it when they go back.

With the beginning of the award ceremony, it is estimated that "Mystery of the Floating City" won nothing today, and the first award is a kind of attention unit award.

The Un Certain Regard Award was won by the French director Michel Frank's "After Lucia", while "Mystery of the Floating City" was not selected.

The Jury Award for Special Excellence was awarded to "The Children of Sarajevo", and "Mystery of the Floating Town" lost again.

The Special Jury Prize went to France's Gustave Corvein for "An Unforgettable Night" and "Mystery of the Floating Town" won nothing.

The Best Actress Award went to Double Yolk, which was won by Suzanne Clement for "Lawrence with Two Faces" and Emily DeQuinn for "I Like You for No Reason".

It's normal to get nothing. Lou Ye's filming is relatively normal. He didn't expose and criticize the dark side of society. The Cannes Film Festival official saw that "Mystery of the Floating City" was a success.

But the next main competition unit, the situation is different.

"The Undertaker" is also a film that does not expose the dark side of society, does not criticize and criticize, but is warm and affectionate.

The Cannes Film Festival has never bought Oscar's account, just like the Gallic chicken and the bald eagle, but this time the Cannes Film Festival has given it recognition.

The best screenplay award presented first was won by the film "Over the Mountains" from Romania, written and directed by Christian Mungi.

The Jury Prize and the Grand Jury Prize went to the film "Angel's Part" from the UK and the film "Reality Show" from Italy respectively.

After that, the best actress in the main competition also had a double yolk egg, and Cosmina Stratan and Christina Frotto jointly won the trophy for the film "Over the Mountains".

Then, there is the award for Best Actor.

Seeing this, some people may ask why the main competition unit has the award for best actor, but the one-of-a-kind attention unit does not.

Zhang Hao didn't understand either, maybe the judges thought that a film in the attention section, no male actor is eligible for this award!
It may be the reason for the winner, this time the award was presented by a mainland actor, it was Fan Binbing whom Mi Mi met on the beach.

She was wearing a black dress, revealing her shoulders, showing a proud bust.

Others don't know what's going on, anyway, those white old men in the audience stared straight at him, eager to rush to the stage to find out.
