Chapter 697 Status in the world
"Didn't you arrange some food?"

After Li Mu accepted the invitation, Zhang Hongsen happened to meet the staff of the organizer and asked.

"Director Zhang, yes, but due to space issues, it is placed in the small hall next door. We have written it on the map under the invitation letter."

After listening to this, Zhang Hongsen immediately knew that Li Mu definitely did not read the invitation letter carefully. However, who would read the invitation letter carefully these days? Didn’t he read it himself?

Li Mu could no longer be seen in the crowd, so he had to give up.

Li Mu found his seat and complained to Liu Yifei:
"This year's film festival was so careless that there was no place to eat when I was hungry."

"Amu, actually there is. Take a look at this." Liu Yifei awkwardly took out the invitation letter and pointed to the place marked on the map below.

".This is too hidden."

After a long time, Li Mu had to utter a few words to cover up his embarrassment.

"Let's go, let's go and eat something first. These people are not starving, but I am starving."

People in the hall were still chatting in groups of three or four. This was also a networking event, and food was not important in their eyes.

But for Li Mu, who has already reached the top of his network, his stomach is more important.

There weren't many people in the small hall. Most of them just ate a sandwich and then left.

Li Mu was in no hurry at all. He sat down with Liu Yifei and savored the food slowly. After all, it would take at least half an hour before the meal started.

As they were eating, they ran into Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige who were also looking for food.

"You guys came early enough."

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kaige smiled and sat next to each other.

"It was arranged. They said our crew will be the first to walk the red carpet. I want to do the same as the teacher. If you come later, you will waste more than two hours of my time."

Li Mu yawned. It was not a good idea to go on the red carpet too early.

"By the way, congratulations to Yifei for becoming a Cannes jury this time."

Brother Chen Kai's words surprised Tian Zhuangzhuang who was unaware of the situation.

"Brother, you knew it very early. It hasn't even been announced yet." Li Mu smiled faintly. He thought no one in the country knew about it yet.

"A few days ago, Cannes' artistic director and film selector Fremaud found me and said that there seemed to be no Chinese films shortlisted this year, and asked if I could send Legend of the Demon Cat to try.

So we chatted a little more and then I found out that you had such a big thing that had not been announced yet.

If it were someone else, they would have been hyped up a long time ago."

I have to say that as a former Palme d'Or winner, he still receives some preferential treatment at Cannes.

At least the films directed by him are more likely to be nominated than those directed by other newcomers. This is actually an unspoken rule.

After all, there is definitely a world of difference between a director with proven achievements and an unknown director.

After chatting for a while, they returned to the main hall from the small hall.

"Did you meet Director Li and Yifei?"

Chen Hong obviously saw the scene of several people coming out together.

"Well, who told you not to go get something to eat?"

"Do you think I'm a big director like you guys? All the cameras here are looking to embarrass us. I don't want the photos tomorrow to be too ugly."

Chen Hong's words actually reflected the thoughts of many female stars present. After all, if they ate too much and their bulging bellies were seen, it would be embarrassing.

"You just have too much to do."

"I really envy Yifei for becoming a Cannes jury member. I'm afraid Cannes will announce the news in a few days. How can they tolerate not even a little publicity?"

Chen Hong looked at Brother Chen Kai eagerly. Not only did Liu Yifei win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, she also became a judge. As a former Palme d'Or winner, shouldn't you put in some effort and guide me?

This look made Brother Chen Kai feel a little scared.

"Let's see later, there will be a chance."

Brother Chen Kai can only make big promises.

As time went by, the 7th Imperial Capital Film Festival finally kicked off under the grand word "seven" on the screen.

This year's film festival was obviously well prepared, as the opening ceremony abandoned the ceremonial approach of traditional opening ceremonies.

All performances and expressions are closely linked to the theme of the film, while highly emphasizing the integration and fusion of the "imperial capital temperament" into the on-site audio-visual atmosphere. The addition of a dynamic video background of "a combination of the imperial capital's new landmark buildings and the imperial capital's intangible cultural heritage" makes the ceremony transition vivid and smooth.

The popular "Capital Flower" Guan Xiaotong teamed up with a new popular band in Norway to perform a medley of film and television songs full of youthful vitality; the famous singer Tan Weiwei performed the beautiful and romantic movie song "Flowers Blooming on the Road".

It's quite unique.

The opening film "Operation Red Sea" was also grandly introduced. As a film produced by Li Mu, its popularity is naturally self-evident, and guests from home and abroad in the audience burst into warm applause.

"The 7th Imperial Capital Film Festival opened, and the opening film "Operation Red Sea" received unanimous praise. Emir Kusturica, a national treasure-level director of Serbia, said in an interview that this film is an excellent anti-war film, and its core is more focused on peace."

The forum event "Exploring the Path of Creating Excellent Chinese and Foreign Films" at the 7th Capital Film Festival hosted by Warner Bros. was attended by Mr. Feng Yide, Executive Vice President of Warner Bros. Global, Mr. Li Mu, Chairman of Mengying Media, and Mr. Zeng Maojun, Chairman of Wanda Films. "."

The Imperial Capital Film Festival lasts for a week, during which various forums, activities and film festivals are held.

At the same time, "Fast and Furious 8", which broke the first-day box office record, successfully rebounded the following weekend.

It earned 9500 million on Friday and the total box office on Saturday successfully exceeded the 20 billion mark, becoming the fourth movie in mainland China to break 20 billion.

Moreover, in terms of the speed of joining the 20 billion club, "Fast and Furious 8" and "The Mermaid" took less than nine days, much faster than "Fast and Furious 7" and second only to "Operation Red Sea".

The time has come to April 4th.

There is news from the long-awaited 70th Cannes Film Festival.

This year's film festival will be held from May 5th to 17th. This year, 28 films from all over the world have been shortlisted for the main competition unit to compete for the Palme d'Or.

The full list of the main competition jury has finally been released.

The jury president of the 70th Cannes Film Festival is Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar.

What surprised the industry was that Liu Yifei appeared on the jury list.

You should know that the members of this jury are not to be underestimated:

There are American actors Will Smith and Jessica Chastain, South Korean director Park Chan-wook, Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, German director Maren Ade, French actor/director Agnès Chavilly, and French composer Gabriel Jade.

This news caused a stir in the industry.

Because before Liu Yifei, there were only five Chinese actors who had served as judges in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival: Gong Li, Shu Qi, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Ziyi and Michelle Yeoh.

The directors include John Woo, Tsui Hark, Jiang Wen and Chen Kaige, all of whom have served as judges.

Wong Kar-wai served as chairman of the Cannes Film Festival jury in 2006.

This also means that Liu Yifei's status in the film and television industry has been significantly enhanced again.

“What a lucky life.”

"It's only a matter of time. After all, I have the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress trophy in my hand."

"Alas, same person, different fate!"

"."

Compared to the envy of many actresses in the industry, fans were pleasantly surprised.

After the news was announced, Liu Yifei responded to her Weibo account, which had not been updated for a long time: I will watch the movie seriously this time.
"Xiu'er, you are really Xiu, did you go there to watch a movie?"

"Hahaha, it has to be you!"

"Good fellow, is this considered Director Li taking advantage of your red carpet? Take Director Li with you and see how he feels. Take advantage of your wife's red carpet."

Netizens commented crazily below.

The most talked about topic is undoubtedly whether Li Mu can be considered as walking the red carpet this time.

Generally, judges will bring their families with them. After all, this is a benefit. They can also travel and enjoy the cultural scenery and food of Cannes.

#Liu Yifei is a Cannes judge; #Li Mu is going to walk the red carpet this time, these two topics quickly became the top hot searches.

"Hahaha, everyone said you were going to take my red carpet."

Liu Yifei laughed loudly while lying in Li Mu's arms. Although she knew that netizens were joking, after all, Li Mu didn't need to walk on anyone's red carpet at any film festival, but this topic was indeed very interesting.

"Just rub it, it would be a waste if you don't rub it."

Li Mu held Liu Yifei's hand and began to explore. After all, who would be so serious when hugging someone's hand? As for getting on the red carpet, even if it was allowed, it was what he deserved, after all, they were husband and wife.

"Can't you behave yourself with your hands?"

Liu Yifei scolded, patted Li Mu's naughty hand, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"What's the rules? Who can be so serious while holding a beautiful woman, unless that person is incompetent."

Li Mu didn't stop at all.

"Bah, you big pervert, what you said is not decent at all."

Liu Yifei also let Li Mu make fun of her and continued to scroll through the comments under the Weibo post.

But Li Mu didn't seem to stop. Slowly, their breathing became rapid. A "hmm" sound seemed to open Pandora's box for both of them.

Once the box is opened, it's out of control.

"It's all your fault. I have to clean the room again."

The blush on Liu Yifei's cheeks was very charming at this moment. Her fair collarbone was exposed to the air because it was not covered by the quilt, and there were big red spots on it.

Li Mu took a quick glance and knew what it was, but he didn't bother to appreciate it. He got up and tidied up his quilt and clothes because they were too messy.
