Full-time actor

Chapter 356 [39] The most popular in Cannes!
On May 2004, 5, at 11:8 a.m. French time, Chen Yu and his party finally arrived in Cannes.

When he got off the airport, Chen Yu wore a mask and was recognized by many passers-by.

I have to admit that the lethality of Volkswagen’s advertisement is indeed strong!
Chen Yu greeted everyone, signed autographs, and finally got into the pick-up car arranged by the Cannes organizer.

There is no direct connection from the imperial capital to Cannes, so Chen Yu transited in Paris to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport in the Alpes Province.

Cannes, on the other hand, is a leisure town located near Nice. It has beautiful scenery and is close to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, it has a long beach. It is a pleasant place along the coast and occupies a unique geographical location!

As the car sped along, Chen Yu looked out the window and saw rows of tall, green palm trees, white buildings, and several kilometers of coastline... all set against each other, forming an extremely beautiful natural scenery.

This is where the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, comes from.

Because there are countless palm trees here.

After about an hour, Chen Yu finally arrived at the Palais des Festivals, the venue for the Cannes International Film Festival!
This is the main venue of the film festival built by the French government specifically for the film festival. It is built in the middle of a 500-meter-long beach and yacht area.

影节宫包括了25個电影院和放映室，中心是6层高的电影节宫，有一个1000座的大影厅和14个35座到300座的厅堂。

After all, Cannes is the film festival with the most media reporters and the longest red carpet ceremony in the world.

After all, some people have spent their whole lives working hard to stand on this red carpet.

Neither the time nor the actual length of this blanket.

To participate in the film festival, you must first obtain a certificate, such as a market certificate, a media certificate, a professional certificate, a three-day certificate, etc.; and what’s even weirder is that although the awards ceremony is the last day, you will know your award status in advance. .

60 meters, in other film festivals, it can be completed in half a minute at most; but, in Cannes, many female stars can’t wait to finish it all in slow motion on this red carpet.

A Cannes red carpet about 60 meters long covers the ground at the entrance of the Cinema Palace and the next 24 steps. Everyone gets off the car and walks on this red carpet all the way into the Cinema Palace.

This outfit was a bit bold and hot. Chen Yu guessed that she was wearing nothing underneath her upper body, so she stuck it on.

In other words, the awards will not be held on site, but will be notified in advance.

After use, you have to return it.

The same goes for Zhang Ziyi. Her wavy hair is tied up, she is wearing a black hollow tight dress, and she has a golden palm-style diamond brooch on her chest. It looks expensive at first glance.

What the French call romance is probably used in these places.

Oh, one more thing is applause.

"Let's go!"

Taking the organizer's car, we arrived at the Cannes Film Festival Palace.

The international chapter is the international chapter. This international style is indeed in sync with Hollywood.

"Commercial blockbusters still taste good!"

Unlike Venice and Berlin, where countless tourists and citizens can watch movies, during the film festival, only people with certificates can enter.

It has to be said that the red carpet in Cannes is truly unique in the world.

Of course, in addition to watching movies, there is also a visitor center here with leisure, shopping, casinos, etc., which is similar to Venice, but much smaller.

After watching the movie, all the media, reporters, film critics, etc. at the scene gave the main creative staff a full 30 minutes of applause.

"Have a good rest and adjust for the day, I have to walk on the red carpet tomorrow!"

This is what makes Cannes different from the other two Venice and Berlin film festivals.

They clearly know how to capture the mood and create a celebration of cinema.

But you have to lament Cannes' "professional control" of the "applause process".

The organizer is also a thief and has set up many sponsor channels. It is the same as a tennis wild card. You only need to spend money to enter.

And whether it's attention or topic, it's completely full.

Of course, this kind of applause is not continuous, it is not vigorous from beginning to end, but it is led by some people, rhythmic, and continues one after another, just like the atmosphere group in a nightclub.

However, the Cannes International Film Festival is the only one among the three major European film festivals that is not open to the public.

The experience of watching a movie at the Cannes Film Festival is very good, but there is a lot of applause. In the previous life, "House of Flying Daggers" was so bad that it actually received the longest applause in the history of Cannes - a full 30 minutes.

But now following Zhang Yimou and his group, Chen Yu felt what pomp and circumstance meant.

Lao Mouzi quietly kept an eye on Chen Yu. The last few times Chen Yu attended such international film festivals, whether it was Venice or Berlin, the directors and films were not well-known, so there was no plan at all for the trip.

Therefore, this is why all directors around the world like to hold premieres in Cannes, because it is so ceremonial that it elevates the creative staff to a lofty height.

They crowded around both sides of the red carpet, and of course there were countless fans who couldn't get in but were still looking forward to it.

Lao Mouzi, who was also wearing a suit, came out of the elevator. Hua Zai, who was dressed in a shiny outfit, followed him. When he saw Chen Yu, he immediately waved to him with a smile.

After a speechless night, Chen Yu was full of energy and was waiting in the lobby of the hotel early the next morning; his suits, watches, accessories, and even leather shoes this time were all provided by the sponsor.

He doesn't need to think too much about the organizers, red carpet ceremonies, premieres, etc. He just needs to attend personally.

Because there is no audience, there will inevitably be more people involved, so this has also led to countless people scratching their heads to take advantage of the heat of the red carpet.

This time there were only four of them at the red carpet ceremony. Zhang Weiping and Jiang Zhiqiang were supposed to be discussing the release.

Chen Yu smiled, this was the first time he was looking forward to the red carpet of tomorrow's opening ceremony.

So, the red carpet ceremony was very long.

On both sides of the red carpet are stepped shooting areas, crowded with photojournalists from 108 countries wearing black suits and black ties. Without this "standard" outfit, they cannot enter this area to take photos; Chen Yu Looking around, there are no less than a few hundred people.

If you don’t walk for a while, how can you afford the money you spend?

The most outrageous thing in the past life is that some female stars from China, Japan and South Korea are better than the other. Fan Ye walked in 3 minutes, Ma Su took 6 minutes, and Mizuhara Kiko and Wang Likun were even more amazing, with full special numbers. 10 minutes.

All kinds of awkward shapes, imaginable and unexpected shapes are available.

Of course, European and American celebrities are not doing much better. Some of them even fall down on purpose to get out of position... It is simply unbearable to watch.

The on-site workers and security personnel could not drive them away, and the reporters in the audience booed them and pretended not to hear them.

It can only be said that people with thin skin are really not in the entertainment industry.

"Later, walk slower!"

As expected, Zhang Ziyi reminded Chen Yu in his ear. After all, it was his first time to come to Cannes. Lao Mouzi and Liu Dehua next to him had both been here many times. Chen Yu shrugged: "Why should I be slow? Director Zhang and Brother Hua have to be slow too!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely walk slowly!"

Zhang Yimou immediately stretched out his hand, and Andy Lau next to him also smiled: "I guess there will be some fans at the scene, so I have to be responsible for signing autographs!"

"..."

What's wrong with me as the co-author?

Chen Yu spread his hands, and Zhang Ziyi immediately showed him a bright smile: "It's okay, I'll hold your arm and go!"

Whoa whoa!
At this moment, bursts of roaring sounds came from the red carpet behind him.

In the Cannes red carpet ceremony, it is obviously time for the most important guest to appear. Those who were previously sponsored and ignored must have finished their walk.

"It's Penelope Cruz!"

Zhang Ziyi stood outside the car and saw clearly the screaming person on the red carpet.

This is the most famous Hollywood actress in Spain. Although she is not as famous as she will be in later generations, she is already quite popular internationally, especially in Europe. She is very popular among teenagers. After all, she is beautiful and has a Supermodel-like.

Later, she was a double actress in Cannes and Venice, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress many times. Her most famous role should be the female lead in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Captain Jack Sparrow's old lover Angelica.

"This is going too slow!"

Two minutes passed, and Penelope hadn't finished walking yet, but the entire staff of "2" came up behind.

When Gong Li came to Cannes, it was like going home. His aura was invincible. Liang Chaowei looked shy, but he was waving to people there frequently. Wang Jiawei was wearing sunglasses as always.

The next person to take the stage was Hirokazu Kore-eda.

14-year-old Yuya Yanagaku didn't come, so he was the only one walking on the red carpet, and he looked quite pitiful when he was alone.

In this way, the crews shortlisted for the main competition unit appeared one after another, and finally it was the crew of "House of Flying Daggers".

Countless fans came to cheer for Lao Mouzi, Zhang Ziyi, and Liu Dehua on the sidelines. They were already shouting loudly, and the momentum was no less than before; until the moment when Chen Yu straightened his suit and walked out of the car.

boom!
At this time, not only the fans and fans at the scene, but also many media reporters suddenly exclaimed like cats smelling fishy smell.

It's true that Chen Yu's recent mass advertisement was a bit too popular.

At this time, the momentum of the Cannes red carpet immediately overwhelmed everyone before. Many people didn't even know what they were shouting, but they knew that Chen Yu's face was too familiar. Isn't it the same as the one in the advertisement? That Chinese Kung Fu!

Many crew members who had not yet appeared on stage all got out of the car and looked at Chen Yu who was standing in front of the car.

With a height of 1.8 meters and a handsome and sunny appearance with angular makeup, many actresses couldn't help but take a second look.

Some people recognized him; others were asking about Chen Yu's identity.

A handsome white man wearing sunglasses leaned against a Rolls-Royce. He squinted and raised his head. He asked a foreigner next to him: "Is this person famous?"

Why are so many people cheering?
"Who knows..."

The foreigner shrugged and joked: "Is there any male star more famous than you in this world?"

After all, he is Sean Penn, who has just been promoted to the Grand Slam Best Actor, and is currently the only living Golden Slam Best Actor!

It has collected three major film festivals and Oscars for best actor, and Venice even won two.

"heal chan?"

Sean Penn was chanting Chen Yu's name that countless fans were calling, but there was no impression in his mind; at this time, countless fans and reporters on both sides of the red carpet were completely excited, and their voices were louder than the last. The waves became more and more violent.

Who would have thought that the stuntman in the popular advertisement that has become popular all over the world would actually come to the Cannes red carpet.

Click! Click!
Countless reporters took pictures of Chen Yu's face and walked away quickly. Some reporters who didn't take pictures were very dissatisfied.

Zhang Ziyi smiled slightly, as if she knew it would have such an effect, and stood beside Chen Yu, holding her arms tightly with him, enjoying Chen Yu's warmth.

There was no other way, so Chen Yu had no choice but to smile and greet reporters from all over the world.

This wave of traffic is overwhelming, and he has to eat it even if he doesn't want to eat it!
"Chen Yu, put on a pose!"

"Do a Kung Fu pose!"

"One-word horses are the best!"

"..."

The Chinese reporters at the scene were shouting and seemed extremely excited.

They had never been so proud in their lives. Many colleagues from other countries were asking about Chen Yu's name.

To be honest, this is the first time for many reporters to be so enthusiastically chatted up by a foreign reporter after participating in film festival interviews for so many years.

Many of the female reporters are very beautiful and unrestrained.

This sense of pride is simply beyond words.

Many people are already thinking about how to write this news headline. If they don't praise Chen Yu to death, they would be sorry for his popularity.

However, Chen Yu certainly did not meet their requirements.

Just kidding, do you want to be so embarrassed posing on the red carpet?
Do you think I am a blanket star?

On a red carpet, Chen Yu finally walked for more than 5 minutes before finally entering the Cannes Film Festival Palace.

"Phew... my legs are sore!"

Chen Yu took a long breath.

"Your popularity is so terrible!"

"Since when did you become so famous?"

Liu Dehua also looked at Chen Yu in great surprise, and Zhang Yimou did not expect that such a huge response would erupt at the scene.

I guess the biggest names in Hollywood currently have just this momentum, right?

Chen Yu, is he already so awesome? !
