Chapter 274 Cannes Opening

"Teacher Ah Cheng, how are you doing lately?"

"It's not bad. I'm writing a book and wandering around."

"Why did Mr. Cheng come to Cannes this time?"

"Meeting some old friends."

"What books has the teacher written recently?"

"Mr. Hou Hsiao-hsien from Taiwan asked me to help write the script. He wanted to make a costume drama."

"Oh, it must be a big production."

"You two are just getting serious now, ha..."

"We're still just having a little fun."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that your film "Fireworks in the Day" will be exhibited at the exhibition this time?"

"Exactly."

"How confident do you feel?"

"We are still like that this time."

"The shape is good, okay, okay."

……

Xiangyang and Xiaoye met Teacher Acheng. Of course, it couldn't just be a simple face-to-face meeting. The two of them invited Teacher Acheng to dinner.

At first, that incident was a bit complicated. . .

It's been so long, and besides, everyone was reconciled at that time.

So, this time we met, it was quite nice to chat with each other.

Xiang Yang heard some information, that is, the play written by Mr. Acheng, and directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, should be "The Assassin Nie Yinniang".

To be honest, this movie is indeed great, but it is also really difficult to understand.

I remember that this movie also won the Grand Prix at Cannes, of course, that was a few years later.

It seems that some serious film works really take a long time to prepare.

Looking back on his own "Fireworks in the Day", director Diao Yinan said that he had thought about it for a long time before coming up with such a script.

If it hadn't been for Wan Xiaoye and Xiang Yang's investment, it would have been a long time before this movie was made.

Xiang Yang was actually the one who felt more emotional about this.

Many things have changed, many things have become uncertain.

This may not be such a bad thing.

……

After finishing the meal, Teacher Acheng said goodbye to Xiang Yang and Wan Qian with a smile. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he realized that it didn't seem necessary at all.

His purpose in coming to Cannes this time was exactly what he said.

But right now, he is looking forward to the movie "Fireworks in the Day".

What will happen to this movie?

To be honest, after watching the original "Blind Kill", Ah Cheng also thought it was pretty good, but he felt that there was plagiarism in it.

This was his initial conclusion. At that time, his inner state was not very good.

Now, his whole person is different from that time.

Well, just wait for this movie.

Teacher Ah Cheng made up his mind and planned to return to China after watching this movie.

Time flies by and May is here.

The Cannes Film Festival opens as scheduled.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony, there was another battle for beauty.

It is said that walking on the red carpet is now clearly marked with a price.

But this is only part of it after all, and there are still many serious celebrities.

For example, our domestic Fan Ye.

That's right, she's at it again, this time with another stunning look.

Gorgeous long dress with blue and white porcelain theme!

It must be said that Fan Ye is indeed beautiful enough, and her beauty is really unstoppable.

However, some people couldn't help it anymore.

"One blanket star..."

Of course it's Si Cong.

But this incident caused a great response in our country, but there were not many changes in Cannes.

Reporters from all walks of life took photos.

Of course, Xiang Yang and the others, the main creators of "Fireworks in the Day", and Wan Xiaoye will not be let go.

When Wan Qian appeared, the reporters were surprised, but they thought it was reasonable.

After all, she is Xiang Yang's wife, so it is appropriate for her to appear on such occasions. However, it seems that Wan Qian has little to do with this drama.

But some people have noticed some details, that is, Wan Qian is also one of the investors in this film.

To put it simply, she and Xiangyang are running a husband and wife shop.

As for the others, of course the most eye-catching one is Yaya.

She looked very beautiful on the red carpet this time. She wore an Armani dress, which highlighted her mature atmosphere.

You know, Yaya has always had a girly look before.

Could it be said that he has suddenly matured?

In the end what happened?
What's even more interesting is that she doesn't have much communication with Xiang Yang and Wan Qian.

This detail was of course captured by reporters.

The others, Diao Yinan, Yu Kailei, Wang Jingchun and Da Wei Ge, all became supporting roles.

There is no way, if there are beauties, they will naturally pay attention to the beauties. Even this guy Xiang Yang can be regarded as taking advantage of his wife.

This time is the 64th Cannes Film Festival, and of course it’s not just Fan Ye and “Fireworks in the Day” who are here.

Well, Fan Ye really has no works, so Si Cong complained that she is a carpet star, which is really difficult to refute.

However, some people have works!

There are a lot of Chinese filmmakers and films here.

Gong Li, the icon of international movie stardom, is, well, a Singaporean now.

But when he arrived, he was still regarded as a Chinese star.

In addition, her successor, Zhang Ziyi, is back, and seems to have swept away the haze of the past.

"Favorite" is Zhang Ziyi's latest work, and this work also has a gathering of stars.

Fucheng, Baoqiang, Pu Cunxi, Jiang Wenli, and even Cai Guoqing... Just these names really make people attracted.

What kind of blockbuster is this?

But if you look closely, you will understand that they, a group of well-known actors, played a group of rural people.On the poster, it’s very vulgar.

Although, Zhang Ziyi is still beautiful. Even if she wears clothes similar to those in "My Father and Mother", her skin is still white and glowing.

The story of this movie is also very interesting.

But for now, everyone can only know a thing or two from the poster.

After "Favorite" comes "Martial Arts".

This movie is Chen Kexin's latest masterpiece. It contains the little Tang sister that Bao Qiang likes, and bullets.

Then there is another Bingbing work produced by a foreign company that has taken an international route, "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes".

This film is quite special because the other female protagonist is South Korea’s Jun Ji-hyun.

two women. . .It's that kind of story.

But it's very attractive. You know, these two royal sisters are very interesting to star in such a movie.

Of course, these are all masterpieces, and there are many Chinese films coming, but their reputation is really average, just for the sake of gold plating.

In addition, naturally many well-known filmmakers and many domestic big shots also appeared.

Yu Dong, Jiang Zhiqiang, and other characters, as well as Mr. Qin and Xiaoma's Mr. Li.

It is said that they are going to have a Chinese movie night this year.

This is also really interesting. In this international film festival in France, Chinese films are coming in force.

Of course, foreign movies are not bad either.

Films from Japan and South Korea are participating in the exhibition, and in Hollywood, there are even more big names gathered.

Kirsten Dunst, the heroine of "Spider-Man", is said to be suffering from depression, and she simply made a "Depression" movie.

Then there is Pitt, who brought his new film "The Tree of Life".

There are a lot of Hollywood movies, and of course European movies are also indispensable.

France, Italy, and Germany all have excellent films participating in the exhibition.

This year's Cannes Film Festival is definitely extremely competitive.

When Teacher Acheng saw this, he had a smile on his face.

It seems that Xiangyang, a sledgehammer, is still a love interest.

Oh, his focus seems to be a little different.

Next, that's Chairman Jacob's speech.

Ah Cheng also knew this guy.

Forget it, I still don’t listen.

The day after the opening was the day when "Fireworks in the Day" was screened.

Teacher Ah Cheng didn’t come alone, he also had a friend.

The editor of French "Screen" magazine, his name is Fontaine.

They are old acquaintances and have been pen pals for many years.

Originally, Teacher Acheng wanted to watch "Fireworks in the Day" alone, but Fang Dan insisted on following him.

The reason is also very simple, because there is Xiang Yang in this movie.

In Fang Dan's opinion, this Xiang Yang was a bit too much.

Yes, these are Fontaine's exact words.

Originally, Fang Dan didn't know Xiang Yang, but later because of the incident in Berlin, Xiang Yang became an actor. As a professional film magazine editor, he had to know him.

As a result, it was discovered that Xiang Yang actually gave up the prize in Venice.

To talk about this matter, actually from the perspective of foreigners, it is really difficult for them to have too many memories. In their eyes, Asians are almost all the same.

And, it’s not a big prize.

It's really hard for them to have memories.

But when he found out later, Fontaine complained of course.

Teacher Acheng was very happy when he heard it. The French guy insisted on watching a movie with him, so he agreed.

He, I really want to hear what this guy has to say about this movie.

Ever since, the two of them sat in the cinema.

Screen Magazine, the official show magazine of Cannes.

Well, although the venue score generally does not really determine the final award, especially in Cannes, it is of considerable value.

Not long after, "Fireworks in the Day" began.

It starts very simply. There is a woven bag in the truck pulling coal. It is obvious that there must be something in this woven bag. This is the key.

The camera followed the car and followed it to the factory, watching the coal being dumped and then the woven bag being put on the conveyor belt.

Maybe because of all this tossing, the woven bag couldn't hold up anymore and the contents inside were exposed.

The workers saw it and the result...

"Ah! Call 110 quickly."

That's an arm.

When the camera is zoomed in, people can see clearly.

Ah Cheng thinks this beginning is okay.

It can be seen from the use of lenses that the director is very skilled.

So, what was Fontaine's reaction?

"It's very common."

In fact, he felt in his heart that this shot was really good.

Ah Cheng smiled and didn't say anything, so he just continued watching the movie.

Immediately afterwards, the male protagonist appeared.

The fat version of Xiang Yang is, of course, not that fat, but very greasy.

At the beginning, it was in the hotel with Wan Qian...

Teacher Ah Cheng couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

The couple actually acted out a divorce scene, which was pretty good.

So, there is a bed drama?

Well, it just took pictures of playing poker on the bed, the head of the bed moving around, and the young master’s fair wrists.

Up and down, very regular.

So, what does Fontaine think of this scene?

"It's still very ordinary."

In fact, Fang Dan was thinking, why do we need to do this?

Very strange.

　thanks for your support!sincere gratitude.
