Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 626 Film Festival Opens

Zhang Yuanjun and the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" arrived in Cannes the day before the opening of the film festival.

The crew was stationed at the Ritz-Carlton, the official hotel of the film festival, and Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei also stayed in Zhang Yuanjun's theme suite on the upper floor of the hotel as usual.

Zhang Yuanjun packed his luggage in the room and left.

He's going to a jury meeting.

The meeting lasted for more than three hours. After the meeting, Zhang Yuanjun did not return to the hotel and went directly to the restaurant to meet his wife.

"Pierre's words hinted that we take care of French films." Zhang Yuanjun revealed a secret to his wife.

In fact, it is not a secret. Cannes favors local films more or less every year, but this year Pierre hinted more obviously.

Liu Yifei laughed and said: "Last year, there were no French films at the festival. This year, no matter what, Pierre wants to keep the grand prize in France."

There's nothing wrong with it, as long as you don't go too far, the media won't say anything.

It is also because of Jacob's resignation that this year's film festival does not have many stars and famous directors. It is a small year.

Sorry, even though Xia Yu is the Venice Best Actor, his star in Cannes is not as big as Liu Yifei's.

The crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" appeared in the middle. As soon as the six people appeared, they aroused cheers from the media at the scene.

Judging from his actions such as rejecting some films by famous directors, placing some films in non-competition sections, replacing them mostly with Mesozoic directors who have not yet established international influence, and increasing the share of local French films, Pi El Lescuer wants to reshuffle the film festival.

"Who asked you to take this job? If you don't take it, nothing will happen." Liu Yifei didn't pity her husband at all.

Zhang Yuanjun will make the final appearance with the jury and will not be able to appear on the red carpet with the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon".

This year's film festival has not yet begun, but several judges have already felt that this year will be a year of chaos, and the judges will probably not escape the fate of being scolded.

There were even French fans on the red carpet who wanted Liu Yifei’s autograph!
"Superman" and "Pacific Rim" sold well in France, and Liu Yifei also has some French fans.

"Crystal!"

On the afternoon of the 13th local time, the 68th Cannes International Film Festival opened.

Zhang Xinyu also came, and she made a "stunning" appearance wearing a red and green Northeastern cotton-padded jacket.

When it comes to awards, no matter how you judge, it all depends on who can make a fuss with whom in the background. Of course, off-field factors must also be taken into consideration.

"Isn't this a loss of face? I'm a direct descendant of Cannes, so people are knocking on my door. It's my first year as chairman, so I have to agree." Zhang Yuanjun was also in a difficult position, but he figured it out, "Anyway, I'm just a judge, not a judge. Chairman, even if you get scolded, you can’t blame me.”

"Liu! Liu!"

While eating, Zhang Yuanjun said that this year's review work was very stressful: "This is the first time that Pierre Lescourt is the chairman, and the intention to reorganize the structure is very obvious."

Fan Bingbing came again, appearing in a printed white robe, with a bit of feminine charm in his domineering attitude.

The eyes of the world's film media will once again focus on this kind of town.

But her goal of attracting attention has been achieved. Because her outfit is so distinctive, it has indeed attracted the attention of foreign media.

Jacob has been the chairman for more than 30 years. His influence on Cannes on the world film industry is so profound, and how difficult it is for Pierre to form his own film festival structure.

Anyway, those who watched the live broadcast in China and the Chinese media present said that they were "blind."

Liu Yifei is wearing Dior's summer haute couture today, a pink knee-length skirt with a white background, showing off her slim waist, looking pretty and cute.

The jury made its final appearance, led by the Cohen brothers, the chairman of the jury, and nine judges appeared on the red carpet.

The appearance of the judges pushed the red carpet atmosphere to its climax.

"The pressure is great," Zhang Yuanjun was interviewed by domestic media on the red carpet, "but the responsibility is also great. We had a meeting last night and we all said that pressure, responsibility and honor go hand in hand." When interviewed by French media, he said: " Each judge has his or her own likes and dislikes. I will watch every film carefully and give my most honest evaluation.

"Of course I will speak out for the films I like."

The nine judges stood at the highest point of the red carpet and took a group photo.

French Rose Sophie Marceau held Zhang Yuanjun's arm, and Zhang Yuanjun also turned slightly sideways to appear more intimate.

The judges waved downwards and turned to enter the movie palace.

This year's film festival favors French films, which can be seen from the opening film. The opening film is the French film "Head Up" directed by Frenchman Emmanuel Beckett. At the same time, Beckett is also the main competition film "Monsieur le King". 》The heroine!
This is also an important piece of evidence for many film media to attack this film festival.

If you want to favor French movies, you don't have to do this, even if it is hidden a little bit. This is not the back door, this is the entrance through the front door.

As usual, the opening ceremony will last about half an hour.

Tonight's host is the famous French actor Lambert Wilson.

The live song and dance performance paid tribute to the classic movie "Vertigo".

Then, Lambert Wilson began to introduce the judges.

The first one to appear was Big Fat Toro.

Zhang Yuanjun comes on after Xavier Dolan.

"The next one is Chinese actor Zhang Yuanjun."

When Zhang Yuanjun came on the stage, the applause in the stadium was obviously louder than the previous ones.

Liu Yifei applauded vigorously in the audience.

Zhang Yuanjun walked out from the backstage, stood in front of the stage, and waved to the audience.

"Your husband is so handsome." Huang Bo smiled.

Liu Yifei said: "It's okay, just average."

"The next person to appear is Sophie Marceau."

In France, her introduction does not need to be elaborated, her name represents France.

The last person to appear was naturally the chairman of the jury, the Coen brothers.

When the two brothers appeared on the stage, they were greeted with a standing ovation. This is a unique honor for the chairman.

All nine judges appeared, and the big screen began to play the video clips of this year's main competition unit.

Finally, Lambert invited Julian Moore, the last Best Actress, to present her with the Best Actress trophy. She was absent from the awards ceremony last year for some reason.

Julianne Moore is the second actress to win three European Grand Slams - the first is Juliette Binoche, who won the three major Best Actress Grand Slams in Cannes in 10.

After awarding the trophy to Julian Moore, the opening ceremony is over. The Cannes Film Festival is officially in operation. Zhang Yuanjun will start the intense film review work tomorrow.

"Cannes Opening Ceremony Red Carpet: The Most Chinese Stars in History, Only One Official Live Broadcast"

"On the afternoon of the 13th, French time, the 68th Cannes International Film Festival opened in the French town of Cannes. The main competition jury led by the chairman Coen brothers and the crew of the opening film "Head Up" made a collective appearance, and also included Fan Bingbing, 16 Chinese filmmakers, including Huang Bo and Liu Yifei, have walked on the opening red carpet. This number exceeds the 2013 Chinese movie stars in Cannes in 14 and is the highest in history. The famous Chinese actor Zhang Yuanjun is one of the judges of the main competition this year, but in France. In the live broadcast of the official TV station, except for Zhang Yuanjun, only Liu Yifei was shown signing autographs for fans, and other Chinese movie stars were not able to get the shot, which is a pity. "

Don’t you agree? The right to speak is in other people’s hands.
