It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 794: Weibo server crashed? The third Pandora's box...

When the Cannes International Film Festival awards ceremony ended, it was already late at night in France.

But back home, it was already morning!

All of a sudden, a large amount of news coming back from the film festival quickly occupied major social platforms including Weibo, entertainment networks, and film and television portals.

"At the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, director Chen Fei successfully won the Palme d'Or for his film "The Worst Person in the World"!"

"After "The Burning Sun", Director Chen Fei won the Palme d'Or again, successfully bringing home the third Palme d'Or for the Chinese-language film industry!"

"Actress Liu Yifei was crowned the best actress, winning the second Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for the Chinese film industry, becoming the second Cannes Best Actress after Maggie Cheung!"

"Congratulations to Director Jia Zhangke for winning the Best Director Award at this year's Cannes Film Festival for his film Mountains May Depart."

"It's a pity that director Hou Xiaoxian and the movie "The Assassin" failed to win any prizes."

……

At the end of this year's Cannes Film Festival, in addition to Chen Fei winning the Palme d'Or again and Liu Yifei successfully winning the Cannes Best Actress award, the biggest news was that the two of them officially announced their relationship!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a major event that is enough to shock the entire entertainment industry.

The youngest, most powerful, most capable and most talented director in the country actually won the Palme d'Or and found love at the same time.

The official announcement was made for his college classmate, the most popular first-tier actress in China, the current box office record holder among actresses, and the Cannes Film Festival winner...

When the news of the two's official announcement and the video of Chen Fei's confession on the spot were reposted back to China, the Internet and the circle were all in an uproar!

"Wow, he helped his girlfriend win the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival, and then used the Palme d'Or as a courtship gift. Who could refuse that?"

"I'm so jealous, woooooo...it would be so great if I had a boyfriend like this!"

"I really want to oppose it, and even want to turn from a fan to a hater, but I can't find a reason. What should I do? They are such a perfect match!"

"But they are both at a critical stage in their career development right now. Wouldn't it have an impact if they suddenly announced their relationship?"

"Brother above, don't worry about this. Liu Yifei is the only second Cannes Film Queen in China, and her boyfriend is the most powerful director in the world. How could it have any impact?"

"I knew there was something wrong with these two people, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Haha, looking around, which big director in the country doesn't spend money? Anyway, I don't think this couple will be successful. I guess they will be finished in a few years."

Different from the messy comments on the Internet, looking around, many people in the circle are peaceful and have sent their blessings.

"Good! Good! It's finally official. I don't have to keep it a secret for you, sister. Remember to bring the Cannes Best Actress Award to me for my appreciation after you return home."

"Wow, my bestie is so happy. I'm so jealous! I also want to say 'I do' at the awards ceremony in Cannes."

"You don't know how much dog food I've eaten. It's so hard for me! I shouldn't have gone to Cannes if I had known."

"Congratulations to Director Chen, congratulations to Sister Yifei, may all lovers in the world finally get married."

"The mermaid is bubbling, sending blessings!"

"When will you two come to visit me at The Great Wall? Can you bring some wedding candy? Let me have a taste of the happiness..."

After deleting and reducing several words, Jing Tian finally sent out the comment.

Looking at the photo of the two of them taking a photo on the stage holding the Palme d'Or trophy, she was stunned for a long time, until Zhang Yimou called her, she finally reacted.

She turned off her phone and rubbed her red eyes. Then she responded to the crew and ran over quickly.

Faintly, I could still hear her mumbling, "That's it... Being friends... seems pretty good, but I don't think I have the right to hope for that..."

On Jiaxing's side, Zeng Jia was watching the news and felt very emotional.

"From today on, all the scripts for movies and TV series produced by Feiyue Films will probably have to go through the hands of this newly crowned Cannes Film Queen and the boss lady of Feiyue Films."

“Haha.” Yang Mi forced a smile and said self-deprecatingly, “It seems to be like this before, right? The Cannes Film Festival winner, these resources are truly amazing!”

She actually had a dream of becoming a movie queen, but it was just a dream after all.

She has no shortage of Best Actress awards that can be bought with money, but Best Actress awards such as those from the three major European film festivals that cannot be bought with money alone are completely a fantasy for her!

At this time, Zeng Jia suddenly reminded: "You should also post a Weibo, send a blessing or something, don't let people gossip outside."

"Ok, I know."

Yang Mi took out her cell phone and casually edited a Weibo post with topics such as #Cannes International Film Festival, #Chen Fei, #Liu Yifei, and #The Worst Person in the World.

However, just as she was about to click the publish button, a prompt suddenly popped up on the screen:
[Due to an unknown problem, your new Weibo post failed to be sent successfully. Backend programmers are urgently repairing it. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you...]

"Huh? What's going on?" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

Why can’t I send this Weibo post?
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a team leader from the public relations department walked in, saying in an anxious tone: "Director Zeng, Director Yang, we received news that the Weibo server has crashed!"

"what?"

"Weibo server crashed?"

In the office, Yang Mi and Zeng Jia looked at each other subconsciously, and then simultaneously turned their eyes to the mobile phone screens.

The same words popped up in their minds instantly.

"Chen Fei and Liu Yifei's official announcement actually crashed the Weibo server?!"

……

In Cannes, as soon as Fade Chen returned to the hotel, he took out his cell phone and called Mary Lehmann.

He was really curious about how this PR girl managed to win the Palme d'Or for the movie "The Worst Person in the World"!

In Chen Fei's imagination, after helping Liu Yifei win the Cannes Best Actress trophy, this movie could only bring him an additional Best Director or Jury Award at most.

But the Palme d'Or was something he never expected!
If nothing unexpected happens, this movie will probably face a wave of criticism, because its subject matter and intention do not seem to be good enough to win the Palme d'Or.

Liu Yifei has gone back to her room to remove her makeup. The makeup team is not with Chen Fei, so he is not worried about some shameful words being spread.

After answering the call and hearing Chen Fei's question, Mary Lehman burst into laughter.

"Fei, to use a Chinese saying, this movie is the perfect combination of time, place, and people."

"Huh? How do you say this?"

"First of all, it is a female-oriented film, which is very consistent with the current trend in Europe and the United States, namely the slogan of 'female independence'.

Secondly, there are three female judges in this year's Cannes International Film Festival, and they are all firm supporters of "female independence" and "female freedom".

Finally, the Coen brothers and Jake Gyllenhaal admire you very much and want to make friends with you..."

Hearing this, Fade Chen suddenly realized!
Damn, the right time, right place and right people are all here!
And the most important thing is that he doesn't even have to worry about being widely criticized, because in Europe and the United States, LGBTQ, Metoo, and women's freedom and independence have become major trends, like a typhoon sweeping across the country, and no one can resist it.

As for the domestic situation, who would question the Cannes Best Actress and Palme d'Or awards?
"What the hell?!"

Chen Fei suddenly felt his scalp tingling. In a trance, he had the illusion that he had opened the third Pandora's box without realizing it!

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

After removing her makeup, Liu Yifei said goodbye to her old mother without any hesitation and knocked on Chen Fei's door openly.

After the official announcement, the two no longer have to hide their relationship.

So what if they were secretly photographed living in the same room? Isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to live in the same room?

It was also tonight that Chen Fei finally felt the touch of the smooth, tender and moist little hand that he had been touching all day.

"Don't tear it, this is the only pair of stockings I have left..."

"Ask your assistant to buy you another one tomorrow!" "Ah!"

Before Liu Yifei could refuse again, the tearing sound was heard.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Liu Yifei muttered something and didn't say anything more.

Of course, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to, because her red little mouth had been blocked by Fade Chen!

My face will definitely be swollen again tomorrow, but there won’t be any other activities tomorrow anyway, so I’ll just be swollen. I’m happy tonight, so I’ll naturally let go and “play” with all my heart!
……

Although the Weibo server was repaired in less than half an hour and Weibo also made corresponding compensation and explanation, the term #Chen Fei and Liu Yifei officially announced the crash of Weibo server# still became a hot search.

As expected, the industry is in an uproar again!
There are so many people in the entertainment industry who have made official announcements. Not long ago, Zhang Ziyi and Wang Feng got their marriage certificate, which also caused quite a stir online.

But just an official announcement of a relationship directly crashed the Weibo server. The popularity was simply through the roof!

Near noon, a Weibo post released by Feiyue Film and Television’s official Weibo account once again became a hot topic.

"The literary drama film "The Worst Person in the World", exclusively produced by Feiyue Films, directed and starred by Chen Fei, and starring Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen, Zhou Xun, Shu Chang and others, has been officially scheduled to be released in domestic theaters on June 6. Please stay tuned."

As soon as this notice came out, the film industry was filled with wailing!

4月出了一部《速度与激情7》，5月出了《扫毒2天地对决》和《复仇者联盟2》，6月现在已知的就有《末日崩塌》、《侏罗纪世界》、《分歧者2》等多部进口大片。

Now, "The Worst Person in the World", which just won the Palme d'Or, is also scheduled to be released in June.

It is no exaggeration to say that these few films will take up at least 80% of the screenings, while the remaining dozen or so domestic films will have to grab the remaining 20%.

Just thinking about it, I feel like the sky is falling in the film industry!
Of course, this has no significant impact on Feiyue Films, which only pursues the "high-quality" route.

After so many years, theaters have also seen it very thoroughly.

Any movie produced by Feiyue Films will never lose money. Even the phenomenon of "losing money to gain publicity" rarely happens.

Therefore, all movies produced by Feiyue Films have very high screening rates.

Coupled with the support of Pan Asia Cinemas, it has successfully established itself in an invincible position!
……

After waking up naturally from a good sleep, Chen Fei did not get up immediately. Instead, he hugged the fragrant Liu Yifei and leisurely read the news online.

Looking around, the news that Chinese-language films have won the Palme d'Or again is still high on the headlines of major entertainment news websites.

After a day of fermentation, the popularity has even increased instead of decreased!
Unable to interview Chen Fei, many media outlets turned their attention to several major domestic directors and asked them what they thought about a Chinese-language film winning the Palme d'Or again.

Lao Mouzi was fine. Apart from congratulating him normally, he had no other opinions.

In addition to his congratulations, Feng Xiaogang also expressed his longing for the three major European awards and said that he would definitely compete for foreign awards again in the near future!
On the other hand, Brother Chen Kai couldn't hold it anymore.

After Chen Fei broke the curse of only one Palme d'Or award in the country, he showed a very resistant and unhappy attitude.

Now, Chen Fei has won his second Palme d'Or and also won a Cannes Best Actress Award. This undoubtedly touched the pain point of the great poet Chen!
Faced with the reporters' pursuit and blockade, Brother Chen Kai had to respond with a line of poetry.

But while writing poetry, he did not forget to maintain his own high style, and his posture was very well controlled!
“The disciple surpasses the master, and the ice water is colder than the water. I hope he can keep his original aspiration in mind, forge ahead, and never forget to revitalize Chinese-language films. We, the guides, will eventually grow old, and the future of Chinese-language films still depends on the hard work of those who come after us…”

Chen Fei was quite amused. This old guy was actually tricked by him again.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is currently in a very hot promotion period. Brother Chen Kai is leading a group of main creators to travel all over the country and is very busy.

Brother Chen Kai has already made a bold statement, saying that he has secured the top spot in the total box office charts for this summer vacation!
Everyone in the industry is looking forward to it, wanting to see whether this movie can successfully break through the 10 billion box office as the great poet Chen said, and win the No. 1 box office during the summer vacation.

If this really happens, then the controversy previously caused by the movie "The Promise" can naturally be resolved smoothly.

But if he fails again, Director Chen will lose all face!
Of course, he also has someone to support him.

At this moment, with "The Worst Person in the World" successfully winning the Palme d'Or and the Cannes Best Actress Award, those old guys who had made things difficult for Chen Fei and the movie have now lost all face!

The Golden Rooster Awards were completely humiliated by the outside world.

According to insiders, films such as "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", "Operation Mekong" and "The Worst Man in the World" are still not on the list of films participating in this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

This also means that this year's Golden Rooster Awards will be another carnival of low-budget art films, and most of them are extremely low-budget art films that are not even eligible to be shown in theaters.

What's so interesting about this kind of award ceremony?

The comments from netizens were very sharp, and they even angered several old guys in the Golden Rooster Awards Organizing Committee.

"For an award ceremony like this, I think it's better to close it down as soon as possible. What's the point of doing it?"

"Those who are eligible for the award don't get it, while those who are not eligible for the award are making a lot of money. Haha, it's really interesting."

"No wonder Director Chen Fei doesn't like to participate in awards selection in mainland China. He can win the Palme d'Or when he goes abroad. If he participates in the Golden Rooster Awards, I'm afraid he won't even get a consolation prize, right?"

"What do judges do? Just resign."

"A bunch of old and young people who don't do anything serious all day long can only feel a little superior at the Golden Rooster Awards. What else can they do?"

"I suggest that Director Chen should just win an award himself instead of flattering them. If he can select a few good movies properly, everyone will definitely support him!"

"Support +1!"

"Support +2!"

"..."

"Support +963564!"

Netizens and fans have been calling for this, and Chen Fei himself does have this idea, but the department has not given him any response, so he can only wait.

In his opinion, either don’t do it, or just do something big!
Therefore, he had to gain the endorsement of the ministry.

……

Towards the afternoon, when Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got up and packed their things to leave Cannes, they suddenly saw that Huang Shengyi was scolded by netizens and became a hot topic!

It seemed that an elder in Yang Zai's family passed away, and the media took photos of Huang Shengyi wearing mourning clothes at the funeral.

This kind of thing is actually very normal in the entertainment industry. After all, the relationship between these two people is already well known in the circle.

But when the photos appear on the Internet, it’s a different story!

You know, the relationship between Huang Shengyi and Yang Zai has always been the focus of speculation from the outside world.

Although she has repeatedly denied having a special relationship with Yang Zai in public and media interviews, emphasizing that they are simply a working relationship between boss and artist, rumors and speculations have never stopped.

Every clarification she makes seems to only add fuel to the scandal!

Finally today, many "clues" were dug out one by one by the resourceful netizens, and these clues all point to one fact - the relationship between Huang Shengyi and Yang Zai is not simple.

Suddenly, netizens began to question her previous denial, with some even asserting that she had gotten to the top through shady means!

These negative news spread quickly like an avalanche, causing her reputation to suffer an unprecedented blow.

You know, in the entertainment industry, reputation is everything.

However, Huang Shengyi is covered with all kinds of negative labels, and his popularity on the Internet has almost disappeared.

Combined with her previous self-directed and self-acted performance at the Oscars, this caused a lot of ridicule and abuse in the industry and on the Internet!
"After this incident, she is completely finished."

Chen Fei watched the news with some emotion.

It is really sad to see this once glorious "Star Girl" and "one of the Four Little Flowers" now fallen to such a state.
