Actor: My Entertainment Era

What do you think of Fan Bingbing being elected as a judge for the main competition unit of the 70th Cannes International Film Festival?
Very well received.

For its 70th anniversary, Cannes will invite big-name judges, and although there are no Chinese films in the main competition unit this year, as the most important film market in the world, China cannot and should not be absent from Cannes’ 70th anniversary.

then what should we do?

Gong Li was invited to the 50th birthday party, and Zhang Manyu was invited to the 60th birthday party. Logically, a Chinese filmmaker should be invited this year, but who can be invited?
Zhang Ziyi has been here several times.

Liu Yifei is the Venice Film Festival queen. Even if Cannes abandons its prejudice, Liu Yifei is at home taking care of her children and cannot spare the time.

In theory, the most suitable candidate should be Zhang Yuanjun.

As a genuine Cannes filmmaker, he enjoys a very high reputation both in China and in the international film scene.

If Cannes were to invite a Chinese judge, Zhang Yuanjun would definitely be the first choice.

But Zhang Yuanjun had already served as a judge in 15, and it would not be appropriate to invite him again with only a two-year gap.

So now there is a very embarrassing situation: those with high enough status cannot come, and those with lower status are not looked upon by Cannes.

After choosing and choosing, it seems that only Fan Bingbing is the most suitable.

First of all, although she has not produced many works in the world film industry, she is definitely a celebrity in Cannes, and in China, she is definitely one of the most famous and star-studded actresses.

Then I was selected.

It would be hard to believe that Cannes values ​​Fan Bingbing's artistic aesthetics and hopes that she can select excellent films.

The division of labor among judges is different. Some judges are there to judge films, while others are there to attract attention and media flashes.

Obviously, Judge Fan’s role is the latter.

"I don't know how good Fan Bingbing's English is, and whether he can speak louder than others." This is what Zhang Yuanjun was worried about.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "I never asked you, how do you judges decide the awards backstage?"

Two years later, Zhang Yuanjun finally shared the details of his time as a judge: "Some works that everyone thinks are good are not controversial. I am afraid that when you encounter a film that you think is good and should be awarded, but I think it is rubbish, then you will argue in the backstage meeting room. Do you think those famous directors and actors are of high quality? They curse people backstage, and they are also cursing their ancestors for eighteen generations. If you insist, just argue with them. If you think it is unnecessary to give it to anyone, then you can just be bad."

"In my year, there was no controversy over the Best Director award for Hou Xiaoxian. Several of us judges felt that he should be awarded the award. His camerawork and art were all good, but he still missed the Palme d'Or. The most heated debate was about Dupin. Five of the eight judges (the two Coen brothers, the chairman, counted as one vote) felt that it should not be awarded the Palme d'Or, but there was nothing we could do. Pierre insisted on keeping the Palme d'Or in France, and finally our jury compromised."

"We had a Malian musician on the jury, Roca Teore, who was basically useless."

"Fan Bingbing is facing such a situation now. First, her English is not good and she cannot speak as well as other judges. Second, she is not a big name in the world film industry and no one listens to what she says. She can easily be sidelined by other judges."

"Can you even exclude the judges?" Liu Yifei asked in surprise.

"Why not!" Zhang Yuanjun said, "In 02, Yang Ziqiong was a judge, but she was marginalized by the other judges. In 09, in my year, Shu Qi was a judge, but she was sidelined by the other judges because of her poor English. Even now, many people still say that she won me the Best Actor award, and that I owe her a favor. In the 50th year, when Adjani was the chairperson and Gong Li was a judge, Adjani, as the chairperson, was not as good as Gong Li, and was sidelined by the other judges."

"The jury was also filled with blood and endless struggles."

Every award in Cannes is crucial and can add weight to the winners in the world film scene. Is it so easy to be a judge?

Fan Bingbing responded to his selection as a Cannes jury member through the media the next day, saying: "Thank you for the recognition of the Cannes Film Festival... I feel deeply honored and pressured. This is also a rare learning opportunity to see the best film works of the year in the world. I will definitely complete the judging work seriously."

Is it to grab the hot search? Fan Bingbing was elected as a judge for the main competition in Cannes, and Yang Mi became an international film queen right after!
The Best Actress at the 50th Houston International Film Festival! Award-winning film "Rescue Against Time".

At 11:50 am that day, Jiaxing Yang Mi Studio posted a group of photos of Yang Mi. In the photos, Yang Mi wore a printed dress, showing off her shoulders and collarbones. Many netizens praised Yang Mi for winning the award, saying that she "well deserved it", and some netizens also expressed their anticipation for her new movie.

This is Yang Mi’s first international film actress award, so of course it will be on the hot searches.

Fans were delighted and always referred to it as "international honey", "honey going to the world".

But not long after, the origin of this award was dug up by netizens.

In general, this is a fake award. Although it has been held for several sessions, it is still a fake award.

There are many film awards in the world, many of which are fake awards.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei have also benefited from many fake awards, and they were forced to receive awards, but they never went.

Jiaxing was stupid for letting Yang Mi receive the award in person!

He also posted pictures using the studio’s official account.

Jiaxing clearly underestimated the capabilities of netizens.

The correct approach is to buy the award but not to claim it in person, but to arrange for domestic media to issue a press release to confirm that Yang Mi won the award.

Yang Mi herself and Jiaxing officials should not take action.

The marketing effect is the same! Even if the Houston International Film Festival is found to be a fake one by netizens, Jiaxing and Yang Mi can deny that they were not aware of it afterwards and did not go to receive the award. What does it have to do with me?

This fire could never burn Yang Mi herself.

What now?
Not only did he fail to win the prize, but he also got himself into trouble.

The Houston actress has become Yang Mi's biggest black spot.

"Wasn't she filming "Baby" in Jinling? Why did she take a special leave to go to the United States to receive a fake award?" Zhang Yuanjun was a little puzzled and said that she was crazy about winning the award.

However, the huge success of the TV series "Eternal Love" allowed her to complete the sky-high bet of 3.1 million yuan.

Now that I am debt-free, I am ready to strive for the prize.

On the same day that Yang Mi won the award, Wang Yanhui from the “Dying to Survive” crew finished filming!
One and a half months of hard companionship.

Wang Yanhui's final scene is his debut scene, selling fake medicine in the auditorium.

Wang Yanhui, now wearing a white coat and costume, bowed to his crew colleagues and clasped his hands together in greeting:

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone. I've finished filming. I'm leaving first. Bye." Wang Yanhui waved her hand and went to remove her makeup.

Wang Yanhui finished filming, and the crew also finished work early today.

"Okay, let's call it a day. Let's have dinner."

"Okay, time to eat." Zhang Yuanjun was actually a little hungry. "You looked the coolest when you said this." Zhang Yuanjun praised Wen Muye.

Zhang Yuanjun ate at the crew before going back. (End of this chapter)
