Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 561 Vacation

This year's Cannes, Chinese-language films were once again absent from the main competition. Only "Fantasia" directed by Dynasty was shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section, and "Return" directed by Zhang Yimou was shortlisted for the Out-of-Competition Screenings section.

But even if there are no competition works, Chinese-speaking filmmakers can be seen everywhere in Cannes.

Jia Zhangke is the main competition judge, not to mention the crew of "Return", Wu Yusen brought the crew of "The Wheel" to Cannes to promote the film's overseas sales, Jiang Wen brought his wife Zhou Yun to promote the new film "One Step Away", and Li Yuchun as L'Oreal The spokesperson once again walked on the red carpet of Cannes, and Xue Xiaolu also brought "Miss Bai" to the Cannes market.

If you look carefully at the Chinese-speaking film crews who came to Cannes, each of them has a big background. Perhaps director Xue Xiaolu’s international reputation is much worse than that of several other directors.

But it doesn’t matter, Liu Yifei is so popular!

Liu Yifei has a good reputation in the international film industry, and "Miss Bai" focuses on domestic violence and child abuse, a subject that is of interest to both China and foreign countries. Naturally, there is no shortage of buyers' attention.

Moreover, unlike several other crews, Xue Xiaolu has brought the finished film of "Miss Bai" with her, and has also booked a movie theater and will have two trial screenings in Cannes, in order to reassure buyers.

As a producer and starring role, Liu Yifei is naturally very concerned about the situation of "Miss Bai" in Cannes.

On the sixth day of the festival, the day after Zhang Yimou left the crew of "Pieces of a Woman" and headed to France, Xue Xiaolu held the first preview screening of "Miss Bai" in Cannes. The crew of "Miss Bai" had limited capabilities and could only More than 20 domestic and foreign media and film critics were invited to attend the viewing party.

"Oh, I asked you to sit down for a while, okay?" It was already a little hot, and after finally resting for a few days, Liu Yifei said she was going to the aquarium to watch the dolphin show, so Zhang Yuanjun came with her, but when she arrived at the aquarium, she I couldn't sit still, walked back and forth, and looked at my phone more than twenty times a minute. "Can't you be happy after finally coming out to play? The dolphin show is about to begin."

"What time is it now in Cannes?" Liu Yifei asked.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't give her time. He pulled her to sit down and said, "If you are walking around like this, if someone recognizes you, today will be ruined."

"Okay." Liu Yifei couldn't help it, "Give me your phone back and I promise not to look at it."

From Zhang Yuanjun's point of view, today's performance was no different from what they had seen before, but Liu Yifei was particularly excited.

"You were the one who said it was fun, but you kept staring at your phone when you came out. I confiscated the phone, let's watch the show." Zhang Yuanjun handed Liu Yifei's phone to Xiao Zhao for safekeeping, ""Miss Bai" is 90 minutes, plus the entrance of guests The communication with the post-screening won’t end in less than two hours, so you might as well watch our performance first.”

It’s not that she hasn’t watched performances at the aquarium before, but Liu Yifei seems to be particularly immune to these things.

"If you want to play, find some time to make an appointment with the aquarium." Each aquarium has visitor experience activities.

"Oh - jump so high."

Zhang Yuanjun glared at her before she said, "I just want to take a look."

"Look at how obedient it is."

Liu Yifei especially likes to watch animal performances: "How about I also experience dolphin training? It will definitely be very fun."

Zhang Yuanjun also couldn't take care of his wife like the head teacher took care of his students, so he motioned to Xiao Zhao to return the phone to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was calmer now, but her eyes never left her phone, and she kept communicating with Xue Xiaolu's assistant about the situation at the scene.

She took the phone, put it in her bag and stopped looking at it.

Zhang Yuanjun snatched her cell phone away, and Liu Yifei opened her mouth to curse: "You..."

At the end of the dolphin show, Liu Yifei remembered to take a photo: "Come on, come on." Liu Yifei pulled her husband over, "Let's take a photo together."

Then she turned the phone over, and Zhang Yuanjun laughed angrily: "How many times have I taught you, you can use the front camera to take selfies."

"The pixels of the front camera are not high and the pictures are not good-looking." Liu Yifei has her own reasons.

She only knew that the pixels of the front camera were not high, but she did not know that the photos taken with the rear camera while holding the phone up were even worse.

Zhang Yuanjun sat next to her and took a few beautiful photos. She thought they were pretty good-looking. After watching the dolphin show, the two left the aquarium with their assistant.

It wasn't until the four of them had dinner together with their respective assistants that Liu Yifei received a call from Xue Xiaolu from Cannes. Liu Yifei turned around and heard Xue Xiaolu say: "One piece of good news and one piece of bad news. You go first." Which one do you listen to?”

"It must be bad." Liu Yifei said into the phone.

Xue Xiaolu said: "The bad news is still the same old problem. Film critics felt that our filming was not calm enough and was suspected of stirring up the audience's emotions."

Liu Yifei was not surprised: "What about the good news?"

Xue Xiaolu's tone was filled with happiness: "The good news is that Europeans really like this kind of film that focuses on sharp social topics. Even if it is a little flawed, as long as it is not bad, they can accept it. After our test screening, many film critics watched it Cried."

This is indeed good news. Xue Xiaolu continued: "Furthermore, film critics have spoken highly of your performance. Specific media reports will come out later, and I will send them to you then."

Liu Yifei asked: "How is the trading market?"

"It's okay. After the test screening, several film producers asked us to talk, and my time in the afternoon was already full." This is what Xue Xiaolu is most proud of.

After the two ended the call, Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "I'm satisfied now."

Liu Yifei smiled and was indescribably happy. Her assistant Cindy laughed at her: "I just like to hear good things. The filming is mediocre, but the heroine is good at acting. You must like to hear this."

Liu Yifei's little thoughts were exposed and she shook Cindy's arm: "Oh, don't say it!"

The four of them had a happy meal. Boss Liu was so happy that he asked two assistants to do beauty treatments. As for my husband, I also asked him to do some maintenance.

Male celebrities also do beauty treatments!

After coming out of the beauty salon, Boss Zhang invited guests to watch a movie, and it was Zhang Yimou's "Return".

"No matter what, I have to support you."

Liu Yifei is also very interested in the film, Chen Daoming + Gong Li. She wants to see what sparks these two can create.

There is also the newly minted girl Zhang Huiwen.

But Zhang Yuanjun persuaded her to give up her fantasy about Zhang Huiwen: "In the past, all the Mou girls played the leading role. Zhang Huiwen was chosen to play the second female lead, along with Gong Li, so she only had the title of 'Mou Girl'. , few people will notice her.”

"But at least I was led into the industry by Zhang Yimou. How far I can go in the future depends on my personal fortune."

Zhang Huiwen should be the last Mou Girl. After her, Zhang Yimou rarely used newcomers as heroines, and the title of "Mou Girl" gradually became less useful.

The little dancing girl in the back is just like Zhang Huiwen, just trying to get a girl.

Liu Yifei suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think I am a concubine?"

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said: "An actress who has been in the industry for 12 years is here to be a prostitute?"

Liu Yifei burst into laughter: "I don't care, I played the heroine of Zhang Yimou, why am I not the girl of Mou."

"Okay, okay, yes, yes. Let's go in now and see how the first Mou girl plays." The movie is about to start.
