Actor: My Entertainment Era

Suddenly, Yang Mi bought a house in Dongshan Villa, and she and her parents personally supervised the decoration.

Dongshan Villa was launched in 05 and 06 and was once hailed as the top luxury home in Beijing. However, more than a decade has passed and although Dongshan Villa is still one of the top luxury homes in Beijing, some aspects of it are indeed not as good as the new projects developed in the past three to five years.

Yang Mi bought a house at this time. When Liu Yifei told Zhang Yuanjun the news, Zhang Yuanjun thought of other things.

Yang Mi used to live in Jinmao Mansion in Fengtai, Beijing. Now she has moved from Fengtai to Chaoyang, and plans to live in Dongshan Villa like Liu Yifei in the future. Zhang Yuanjun thinks that there is no smoke without fire. Renovating a new house and moving are troublesome for everyone. Zhang Yuanjun has lived in Dongshan Villa for more than ten years because moving is too troublesome. When Yang Mi suddenly moved in, Zhang Yuanjun's intuition told him: "Something must have happened to Yang Mi's family."

It's not that Zhang Yuanjun has to gossip about others behind their backs, but 18 is a major year for the domestic entertainment industry. Many major events with far-reaching impact will happen this year, and he can't help but think about it.

"Is she still free to do the renovation?" Zhang Yuanjun started work early this morning and had some time to talk to his wife and children.

Liu Yifei knows more: "She has already been scheduled to be a regular on a movie, a TV series and a variety show this year. She is currently recording a variety show in Beijing, so she has more time."

Zhang Yuanjun still expressed her concerns: "I hope nothing will happen to her family."

Liu Yifei didn't know what was going on at Yang Mi's home, but she still said, "Maybe they just want to live in a different environment."

"There are so many houses in Beijing, why did she buy one and bring it here? She also knows that Tang Yan lives here." She and Tang Yan basically have no contact with each other, and she is too lazy to even pretend to be a close sister in front of the media. Her closest best friends are Yang Ying and Zhang Dada.

"You're just imagining things." Liu Yifei disagreed with her husband's statement. "They're just buying a house. It doesn't matter where they buy it. Why can't they buy a Dongshan villa?" Liu Yifei thought her husband was overly sensitive when he said something happened in someone's family just because he bought a house.

However, after Zhang Yuanjun said this, Liu Yifei did feel that something was wrong with Yang Mi recently: "I haven't seen her and her husband in the same frame for a long time."

Now it was Zhang Yuanjun's turn to talk about Liu Yifei: "She wanted to live on the set because of that bet a few years ago. How can you still see her and her husband together?"

The gossip about other people's families passed by, and finally they returned to their own affairs. Liu Yifei informed Zhang Yuanjun: "I turned the flower garden into a vegetable garden, and planted peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and some green vegetables. In the future, we can be self-sufficient, with fish in the backyard and vegetables in the front yard."

Neither Liu Yifei nor Liu Xiaoli knew how to take care of the crops. Who knew where she learned to grow vegetables? Zhang Yuanjun didn't care: "Why don't you raise some chickens and ducks?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "The property management said we can't do that. They said at most we can grow vegetables in our own yard."

Zhang Yuanjun let her do what she wanted: "Then I'll wait to eat your food. What about the two little ones?"

"My mother took me to the pet store to see cats and dogs." said Liu Yifei.

After chatting with his wife for a while, Zhang Yuanjun was notified to go to training, and the two hung up the phone.

The Cannes Film Festival opens on the 8th. As a screening film, the crew of "The Witch" is eligible to walk the red carpet, but Liu Yifei disappointed her fans. She did not appear on the red carpet at the opening of the film festival that day.

However, domestic movie stars such as Li Yuchun and Fan Bingbing once again stole the spotlight on the red carpet.

Of course, fans will console themselves: "As the Venice Film Festival winner and the global spokesperson for Dior, Yifei no longer needs to fight for red carpet exposure."

There is some truth to that.

The main reason is that Liu Yifei didn’t want to fly there in advance.

On the 10th, the crew of "John Wick 3" arrived in Paris. During the crew's reorganization, Zhang Yuanjun appeared at the Cannes Film Festival.

Although he was not a guest this year and had no films to promote or screen in Cannes, the festival officials still sincerely invited him to attend the event, and foreign media also rushed to report that Zhang Yuanjun came to Cannes. This was a treatment that no other Chinese-language filmmaker at the festival had, not even Zhang Zhen, the main competition judge. "Screen" magazine commented on Zhang Yuanjun: "Zhang Yuanjun has inspired countless young people to join the film industry, and his arrival has added another star to this year's film festival. ... It is reported that he is shooting a new film "John Wick 3" in Paris... He also has a novel science fiction art film "Swan Elegy" to be shot this year. I hope to see him again in Cannes next year."

Zhang Yuanjun's first stop in Cannes was the premiere of "Ash Is Purest White". Jia Zhangke invited him and he walked the red carpet with Fan Bingbing.

"Zhang! Zhang!" Foreign reporters on both sides of the red carpet were shouting Zhang Yuanjun's name, and some reporters called him John Wick.

Zhang Yuanjun also agreed to all of them.

His female companion Fan Bingbing became a foil instead.

Little-known fact: Fan Bingbing has walked the red carpet for so many years, and many reporters know her, but even more reporters are not familiar with her. Even now, some people mistake her for Li Bingbing - Li Bingbing is actually more internationally famous than Fan Bingbing, but the two of them combined are not as famous as Zhang Yuanjun.

"Zhang, come here." A reporter from French national television called out to him beside the red carpet to answer a brief question. Zhang Yuanjun knew him and took two small steps towards him, with Fan Bingbing following closely.

Zhang Yuanjun and the reporter exchanged two questions in French. Fan Bingbing didn't understand the whole thing, but he always maintained a decent smile and nodded from time to time to show that he could understand it.

Fan Bingbing held Zhang Yuanjun's arm and got enough red carpet shots. She was also generous and followed Zhang Yuanjun, laughing softly, "I am the one who took advantage of you."

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said nothing.

"What did you say to that reporter just now? You were talking a lot." Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

"Nothing, just asking me if Swan's Elegy can come to Cannes next year, and chatting a little bit." Zhang Yuanjun said, "That guy is very interesting, he likes to drink but his alcohol tolerance is very poor, every time he drinks too much, he tells me celebrity gossip. Just now I said I would give him two bottles of Wuliangye so that he can taste Chinese liquor."

Zhang Yuanjun also joked with Fan Bingbing: "You should learn French." After walking on the red carpet for more than ten years, he still only knows how to say bonjour and merci, which is a bit embarrassing.

Fan Bingbing smiled and said, "Then teach me."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I won't take this kind of job." The two walked the red carpet and entered the Film Palace to wait for the movie.

There is no actor in China who does not envy Zhang Yuanjun's popularity in the international film scene. Going to Cannes is a common occurrence for him, and even if he has no films, he will be welcomed by the authorities and the media.

"Ash Is Purest White" can be said to be Jia Zhangke's most ambitious film, and it can also be said to be his best work in recent years, even better than "Still Life"!

But I still say that Sister Tao really didn’t find the right acting path!

It doesn't matter if she doesn't look good, she can still shine if she finds the right role. Zhao Tao's image and temperament are particularly suitable for playing the kind of ordinary woman who has lofty ambitions but is trapped in a small city, with a big temper but little ability, and a twisted and tangled heart that consumes herself to death.

The role of Li Baoli in "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is very suitable for Zhao Tao, but she is the section chief's muse, there is nothing he can do about it.

After watching the movie, when being interviewed, Zhang Yuanjun praised "Ash Is Purest White" as usual.

"Just now I saw Director Jia Zhangke communicating with you about something. Would you mind sharing it with us?" the reporter asked.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Nothing, just some domestic affairs." Jia Zhangke invited him to attend this year's Pingyao Film Festival, but Zhang Yuanjun didn't agree immediately, saying that he might not be free at that time, but he would try to make time to go. (End of this chapter)
