Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 200 In Cannes

Zhang Yuanjun and his team arrived in the small town of Cannes at 16:1 noon on the [-]th local time.

His arrival did not attract the attention of the international media, but attracted the flashes of domestic reporters.

No way, Zhang Yuanjun is the only Chinese actor in the main competition, even though he is acting in an American film.

"Yuanjun, Yuanjun, please say a few words."

"Yuanjun, how does it feel to be shortlisted for the main competition for the first foreign language film?"

"Will you focus your career on Hollywood in the future?"

Facing the reporters, Zhang Yuanjun and his assistant Xiao Zhao smiled and refused all questions. There were too many people on site, and it was really inconvenient to do interviews.

Moreover, now is not the time to answer questions. When the film festival officially opens, there will be plenty of opportunities for interviews.

Zhang Yuanjun waved his hand, bid farewell to the on-site reporters, and left by car.

At six o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony started on time.

Domestic and foreign reporters flocked to both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the stars to enter.

At this time, it was early morning in China, and domestic audiences did not pay special attention to the first day of the film festival.

The crew of "Buried Alive" walked onto the red carpet 10 minutes later than expected.

"Buried Alive" is a small crew, but four people walked on the red carpet.

They are actor Zhang Yuanjun, director Rodrigo Kertesz, film investor representative Wang Zhonglei, and Zhang Yuanjun's sister Zhang Yuanying.

Zhang Yuanying held her younger brother's hand affectionately, facing the flashing lights of the media, she was a little unnatural.

"Going is what you said to go, and now it's like this again." Zhang Yuanjun's hand was almost crushed by her, "Let me go."

"I didn't know what it was like to walk the red carpet."

Foreign media didn't have much interest in the crew of "Buried Alive", but they couldn't hold back the enthusiasm of domestic reporters.

"Who is that girl?"

"I don't know. Is it the heroine of "Buried Alive?"

"No, "Buried Alive" was performed by Zhang Yuanjun from the beginning to the end, there was no one else."

Domestic journalists exchange information on the side of the red carpet.

"Yuanjun, say a few words." Someone greeted him.

Zhang Yuanjun walked over: "What did you say?"

The reporter directly asked, "Who is this lady?"

"My sister, isn't she beautiful?"

The reporter was a little disappointed, thinking that there was something serious about it.

"Come on, take two photos of me and my sister." The younger brother put his arms around his older sister and faced the camera.

Zhang Yuanjun is not the kind of person who stays on the red carpet, but he also has the task of film promotion and Louis Vuitton suit promotion, so he walked the 60-meter red carpet for more than 4 minutes.

On the contrary, Wang Zhonglei was very active. He was interviewed by domestic reporters on the red carpet, exaggerating about Yuanjun, and talking more about Huayi's development strategy.

Finally, a group of people walked up the steps of the movie palace, waved to the red carpet at the entrance of the movie palace, and then turned and entered the movie palace.

"The opening of the 60th Cannes Film Festival. In the early hours of Beijing time, Xinlang Entertainment broadcast the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival with pictures and texts. The picture shows Zhang Yuanjun leading the crew of "Buried Alive" on the red carpet. elder sister."

Domestic online media reports are simple.

After the first day, Zhang Yuanjun became completely busy.

At the busiest time, I worked continuously for 12 hours without eating anything except breakfast.

On the third day of the film festival, Zhang Yuanjun received news from the crew of "Love Has an Afterlife" in China:

"Due to the early rainy season in Yunnan Province, the production team was unable to carry out normal filming. Yu Feihong decided to suspend work and lead the team back to the capital, and come back after the rainy season is over."

What the hell is going on!
No wonder the cost of "Love Has an Afterlife" is so high, it's no wonder it's not so high!
Although he was far away in Cannes, Zhang Yuanjun still called Yu Feihong and asked about her crew.

Yu Feihong said: "There is no way, the rainy season usually starts at the end of June in previous years, this year I don't know why it is so much earlier, we have no preparations.

"The loss must be huge, but there is no way, delaying in Yunnan Province is not a way, and it is prone to accidents.

"I'll find a way for the production crew, and we'll start work after the rainy season is over." Yu Feihong didn't want to say more, and after a few words, the two ended the call.

Also premiering on the same day as "Buried Alive" is a film from China.

"Blind Mountain"!
The film was shortlisted for Un Certain Regard, and the subject of women trafficking is very popular with local French audiences.

Outside the premiere theater, audiences were waiting outside the door for ticketing before 10 o'clock.

Zhang Yuanjun was invited to participate in the premiere of the film.

Judging from the lively scenes at the scene, the film festival paid more attention to this film, and the conference specially laid a blue carpet for it.

But the Chinese movie stars in Cannes did not support this film enough, except for Zhang Yuanjun, no familiar faces showed up to support it.

"Teacher Li Yang, I really like your previous "Blind Well"."

"Thank you." Although Li Yang didn't know Zhang Yuanjun, he still knew the name of the number one student in the country. It was already a great face for him to take the initiative to cheer on him today. The two held hands and said a few words, and Zhang Yuanjun was dismissed. Let into the cinema hall.

Watching this film in France feels really different, with a different sense of reality.

With its real power and human resonance, the film won a 3-minute applause from the audience at the premiere, and the scene was very spectacular.

Li Yang said that such prolonged warm applause finally made him feel relieved:

"At first I didn't know what Cannes would pay attention to the film, but now I am finally relieved. I don't care too much about whether I win an award. I am satisfied that my film has had such an exchange with the audience."

To the reporter's question that "this movie seems to be made for foreigners", Li Yang answered frankly: "Is it only foreigners who can watch this kind of movie? I believe that my movie is not to reveal the shortcomings, but to reflect human nature."

This is the difficulty of being realistic.

Don't criticize, expose, or sarcasm, they say you have no spine.

Criticized, they said that you deliberately sing the opposite tune, discrediting the country and worshiping foreigners.

Zhang Yuanjun also expressed his love for this movie after the screening: "It's great, the real feeling of pain can resonate with the characters through the screen."

Reciprocate, at the premiere of "Buried Alive" in the afternoon, Li Yang also brought Huang Lu to support Zhang Yuanjun.

Compared with the premiere of "Blind Mountain", the premiere scene of "Buried Alive" is much more lively and grand.

After all, it is a competitive film, and the audience's expectations for "Buried Alive" are more than one level higher than "Blind Mountain".

The guests that Zhang Yuanjun and Wang Zhonglei can invite are not comparable to Li Yang.

Du Qifeng brought the three protagonists of "Iron Triangle" to join him.

Shu Qi also appeared at the premiere.

Jia Zhangke, chairman of the short film and film cornerstone unit of this year's film festival, and his wife Zhao Tao also came to watch the film.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were also present to support.

The scene was really full of Chinese stars, which gave Zhang Yuanjun enough face.

There were also many foreigners who came to support the show. Anti-war is an eternal theme in Western movies, and many European and American stars were invited to come.

But many people, Zhang Yuanjun knew them, but they didn't know Zhang Yuanjun.

The crew of "Buried Alive" greeted the guests on the steps of the movie palace.

The movie is not long, only 95 minutes, but Zhang Yuanjun's performance left a deep impression on the guests and audience.

Compared with the performance of the original Ryan Reynolds, Zhang Yuanjun gave his understanding of the characters and the environment more physiologically.

Because sometimes no matter how an actor performs a character's psychological feelings, eyes, or micro-expressions, it is not as direct and real as the physiological reaction.

But performing a physical reaction can make the audience feel that you are pushing too hard, and the audience will feel that you are acting.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuanjun locked himself in the secret room.

He wants to find the most authentic reaction of the characters in that environment, so that the audience can empathize.

The audience gave the crew of "Buried Alive" applause and cheers for 2 and a half minutes!
Although the technique and ideological connotation of the film are not so artistic and not so avant-garde, and the theme is also old-fashioned anti-war, but they like the performance of this 20-year-old boy.

Some veteran movie fans even praised Zhang Yuanjun: "I look forward to the day when you win Cannes Best Actor."
