Chapter 173 Oscar Queen

After flying for 13 hours, we finally arrived, because there is no airport in Cannes. Filmmakers and audiences from abroad first landed at the Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport, 30 kilometers away. As a result, today just caught up with the traditional celebration in France. Program - Strike, the entire city's airplanes, railways, and urban bus systems were all paralyzed,
In desperation, I can only spend money to rent a car, and then find a guide to go to the location of the organizing committee.

The organizing committee had a special vehicle for the reception. When they arrived at the hotel, director Guo Fan was already waiting at the door.

"Fanfan!" Seeing Guo Fan, the fat man Gong Ge flew out like a cannonball, and bumped into his arms firmly, hugging him very tenderly.

hiss!I have to stay away from this fat paper in the future, I always feel that he has awakened some strange XP.

"You are here, I thought I would have to see you tomorrow!"

"It's not late, is it? Our movie is scheduled to be screened on that day?" Producer Zhang Miao is more concerned about this issue. After all, the film's screening date determines the organizer's preference.

"No, "Ball Lightning" is scheduled for the night of the 18th, which is the day after tomorrow. It's a pretty good date."

Starting tomorrow, Gu Zhongyu will have to take his subordinates to set up a booth for exhibitions, but these tasks are all handled by specially hired people, and he is actually the most leisurely one.

There is no threshold for registration for the Cannes Film Festival. Elementary school students can take a DV to shoot the film about ants moving and pay a registration fee to participate, but whether they can be selected or not depends on the judges of the film festival.

From registration, review of sample films, re-examination, to final confirmation, the entire registration process of the Cannes Film Festival lasts for several months. "Ball Lightning" sent out the sample film three months ago, and the subsequent review and confirmation are actually just a formality. You only need to show the screening copy two weeks before the film festival.

A new director's chances of being shortlisted in competition at Cannes are about as good as buying a lottery ticket.As for those very famous directors, their works were selected by default when the film was launched, because the film festival needed them to expand its influence.

Of course, there are also directors who, for various reasons, do not invite the invitation of the organizing committee of the film festival at all.

The start date of this session of Cannes is from May 5th to 16th. Basically, all the awards cannot be selected until two days before the awards ceremony, and then announced at the evening party.

"Phew! I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep for a day before I talk about it."

After arriving at the hotel, Yang Mi went to bed, and she was exhausted after traveling all day today.

"Come to Cannes, don't you want to go out to have fun? This should be your first time here, right?"

"Hehe! It sounds like you come here often. Didn't you just join in the fun when you came here before? This time, I'm shortlisted. I'll give you the beauty, and I even exchanged contact information with that Zhang Lanxin. I really don't want to refuse you."

"She is a taekwondo champion, I just want to learn kung fu with her, where are you going!"

"Believe me, I was born by you. Do you want to compete on the bed or off the bed? Only you know it in your heart."

Why!Why do you always misunderstand me?
Can't we compete together in bed and off?

Seeing that Yang Mi didn't intend to move, Gu Zhongyu planned to go out by himself, and Bai Lu wanted to follow, but Gu Zhongyu choked back when he said, "How do you speak your foreign language? Do you want me to be your translator?"

No one knew him in a foreign country, and there was no need to pretend. Gu Zhongyu came to the famous Cannes beach, feeling the beautiful scenery, blowing the sea breeze, and enjoying the rare tranquility.

There are still many people swimming in the sea, but it is a pity that Gu Zhongyu did not bring a swimsuit, otherwise he would also like to go into the water to have fun.

"Fuck! Do you mean I should apologize to you? Fine, we're done!"

At this time, Gu Zhongyu heard the sound of a woman yelling at someone in English on her cell phone. She must have been her boyfriend or something.

He turned his head and saw that it was a tall blond horse with very familiar eyes.

Dayangma scolded the phone again before hanging up. She was so angry that she looked at the phone and gritted her teeth, about to throw the phone on a rock to vent her anger.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this. I have already affected my mood for a man, so why lose a cell phone for him? Maybe you don't care about the value of this, but importing the address book or something is quite troublesome after all. one thing."

The other party chuckled: "hh, yes, you are right, it's not worth it."

The woman stopped what she was doing, looked curiously at the Asian man in front of her, and asked tentatively, "Chinese?"

"Yes, and we are still traveling together."

"you know me?"

"Oh, Miss Theron, if I don't recognize you, my movie career should be over."

Although the sky was getting dark, Gu Zhongyu could tell who this woman was at a glance.

Salize Theron, height 177, was born in South Africa in 1975, American film actress, model, producer, the 76th Oscar queen, her representative works include "Stealing the Sky", "Prometheus", "Fast and Furious" Movies such as "National Superman Hancock" can be regarded as Hollywood's top actresses with both appearance and acting skills.

Gu Zhongyu liked this woman quite a lot in his previous life, so he really didn't expect to meet her by chance here.

"Thank you for your praise. You said we are colleagues. May I ask which film crew you are from?"

Shariz, like most white people, is somewhat face-blind towards Asians, but Gu Zhongyu's handsome appearance and tall figure, which can be both Chinese and Western, made her feel a little impressed.

"Maybe you haven't heard of it. It's called "Ball Lightning". It's a science fiction film filmed by a Chinese. Fortunately, it was shortlisted, so I can meet you here, Ms. Theron."

"Oh! I recognize you. Do you appear in "Inception"?"

Gu Zhongyu did not expect Theron to recognize him. "Inception" was his first attempt to enter Hollywood. He not only provided the script, but also played a supporting role in it. However, he hung up after only a few minutes on the stage. His black history.

"I also know that you are the screenwriter of "Inception", you are really talented, uh, your name seems to be...?"

"Gu Zhongyu, you can call me Gu, or my English name is Max. I didn't expect to meet a foreigner who recognized me in far away France, and she is also an Oscar queen."

Salize smiled: "After "Inception", there are still people who are interested in you, but you don't seem to have continued to develop in Hollywood."

"Yes, I am an actor, and screenwriting is just a hobby, and I am also the owner of an entertainment company. Naturally, I have to give priority to developing my own career, so I will not continue to stay in Hollywood."

"I'm getting more and more interested in you. I've seen the "Ball Lightning" you mentioned just now. It was shortlisted for the main competition, right?"

"That's right, I didn't expect Ms. Theron to have an impression of my new movie?" There were 22 shortlisted movies, and Gu Zhongyu really didn't expect that she could remember a Chinese movie.

Shariz put her hands behind her back and said solemnly: "It seems that you are very incompetent, because I am one of the members of the Cannes jury this year. This is my job, and you don't know about it?"

What?
