The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 513 Popular Li Shengyao
Soon after, Li Shengyao and his group arrived in front of the Cannes Grand Theater, walked on the red carpet and entered the banquet inside.

At this time, there were already many filmmakers and entertainment stars inside.

I didn't see Yan Bingbing. She probably only spent the money on the red carpet, not the money inside.

I have to say that Mr. Fan is really careful about his budget.

In Lee Sheng-yao's previous life, after being implicitly banned, Li Bingbing was still planning a comeback, guest-starring in Hollywood movies and Korean dramas, creating a high-end style.

And she created the highest level of personality by letting the self-media hype her up to become a judge at the Cannes Film Festival.

Gong Li, Maggie Cheung, and Wong Kar-wai were all former Cannes Film Festival judges.

It seems that this way Yan Bingbing can upgrade herself.

In fact, there is an information gap.

Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, including this year's Du Qifeng and Shi Nansheng, they are the main competition judges of the film festival. They decide the best actor and actress, the Palme d'Or, and the jury award.

But Bingbing is just a judge in a small category in Cannes, and such judges have much lower requirements.

Li Shengyao didn't see Yan Bingbing and felt much better.

He asked for a glass of water, and then sat down with Dapeng and others.

Dapeng, Brother Xiaoming, and Zhang Yi were all a little nervous and wanted to behave like gentlemen.

Li Shengyao was relatively calm, "French food and red wine are both good, you're welcome, just eat whatever you want."

He then picked up the grapes on the table and put them in his mouth.

At this moment, a blond beauty held a wine glass and walked towards Li Shengyao on high heels, "Li, long time no see, you are still so handsome."

The blonde beauty is wearing a white dress with a very low neckline and slits on the thighs like a cheongsam. The overall look is very sexy.

She is the Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst, Spider-Man’s girlfriend.

Lee Sheung Yew met Dunst before when he was filming a movie in Beautiful Country, but they didn't talk much and didn't communicate in depth.

Under the envious looks of Brother Xiao Ming, Dapeng and others, Li Shengyao smiled and said, "Long time no see, hello."

The two then chatted.

Dunst mainly talked about her recent development. This time she acted in a good film called "Melancholia". She said she hoped to have a breakthrough.

Li Shengyao talked about some things about "1937".

Dunst concluded: "Lee, if your movie is lacking an actress, you can always come to me."

Lee Sing-yew has confirmed to collaborate with Warner Bros. on the sequel to "The Hangover", but he has not given a script and the movie has not yet started.

But as long as you are not a fool, you know that this movie will definitely make money, and many Hollywood actors are eyeing this project.

Dunst left, and Li Shengyao sat down again. He had just boasted to Dapeng, saying that he was Liu Xiahui, and no matter what kind of actress she was, she would never have any outrageous ideas.

At this moment, the most watched couple in the world today walked hand in hand to Lee Sheng Yew.

"Li, it's nice to meet you. Do you have a new movie?"

Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt appeared opposite Lee Sung-Yew.

Julie has a slim figure and looks gorgeous in a backless dress.

Pete is a guy with a very good figure and looks very handsome in a suit. The two of them have been ranked the most handsome and beautiful in the world for several consecutive years.

Although Li Shengyao thinks Tom Cruise is more handsome and Nicole Kidman is more beautiful.But there is no need to say such things directly.

Lee Seung-yew stood up, clinked glasses with Pitt and Jolie, then nodded, and then introduced "1937". He naturally mentioned the gimmick of the movie being shot to the end.

Hearing this, Julie covered her mouth with one hand, "I haven't seen this movie yet, but I think it's very interesting. I will definitely go there to support you."

Pete secretly glanced at Li Shengyao, a little jealous, but he was famous for being an all-rounder in Hollywood, so he didn't show it, but smiled and nodded, "Li, I can imagine this is a great movie, and we will definitely support him." , whether in Cannes or in the beautiful country."

Pete just talks.

Li Shengyao nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Pitt and Jolie are arguably the most star-studded actors on the scene, attracting attention wherever they go.

Others noticed that Pitt Jolie was chatting with Lee Sing Yew, and people who did not know Lee Sing Yew started to ask for information about Lee Sing Yew.

After learning that Lee Sing-yao is the director of "Sicario" and "The Hangover", many people are eager to go over and communicate with Director Lee.

Pitt and Jolie then left. Some directors and artists from Italy, Spain, and France came forward and took the initiative to introduce themselves to Lee Sheng Yew.

Li Shengyao responded with a smile, and he even left a phone number for the more beautiful ones.

The banquet lasted for almost an hour, and a group of people appeared at the door. When everyone saw it, they applauded.

These people are the judges of the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival this time, led by Robert De Niro, with Johnnie To and Nansheng Nan also present.

The judges arrived at the banquet and were immediately surrounded by people. Even Du Qifeng and Shi Nansheng were surrounded by many people.

Li Shengyao saw Chen Kexin approaching, but Director Chen left soon, and his expression was not very good.

Obviously, although "Martial Arts" has innovative themes, it was not enough to impress the judges. "Martial Arts" - OUT.

Li Shengyao was too lazy to get closer. He was not familiar with these judges. Even Du Qifeng and Shi Nansheng had never spoken to each other.

At this moment, Robert De Niro came to Li Shengyao with a shy belly and a smile, "Lee, I heard that you have prepared a great movie. Is it really a one-shot shot?"

Robert De Niro is a god in the hearts of countless actors, and Gao Qiqiang likes him very much.

Lee Sing-yew likes Al Pacino even more. He feels that The Godfather is more explosive.

Of course, as a filmmaker, Li Shengyao admires such veteran artists.

"I can't answer your question now. You know the answer. That would take a lot of the fun out of it. You can see it for yourself."

De Niro chuckled, "Of course, I will watch your new movie then. I hope it will be more exciting than "Sicario". I like "Sicario" very much."

Li Shengyao is also very happy to be recognized by an actor of this level.

"'1937' is better than 'Sicario,' I can tell you that for sure."

De Niro raised his glass and clinked it with Li Shengyao. He nodded, and then said: "Why don't you go to the beautiful country to make a movie? I really hope I can star in your movie."

"there will be chances in the future."

Lee Sheng-yew doesn't want to go to the beautiful country to make a movie now, but there is a subject that he has always wanted to film. There is no way to film it in the mainland, so he can only film it in the beautiful country.

Of course, maybe it will be a few years later. Anyway, now he has no idea of ​​going to the beautiful country to make a movie.

Other filmmakers in the banquet hall noticed that De Niro and Lee Sing Yew chatted for a long time. Some of them knew each other, some did not know him, and they were even more curious. They all wanted to know what movies Lee Sing Yew had made.
