Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 240 The Most Human Actor
"Liu Dehua?"

"Yes, his film 'Blind Detective' has been shortlisted for the midnight screening section of Cannes this year," the assistant reminded.

"Blind Detective?" Zhou Mo suddenly remembered that the director of this movie was Du Qifeng. "I haven't heard of Du Qifeng's name for a while. I miss him a lot."

Zhou Mo was still grateful to Du Qifeng in his heart.

Without his help from "Big Shanghai", "Chu and Han" might not have achieved such good results.

Da Tiantian complained: "He doesn't want to see you."

"He may not be able to get away with this." Zhou Mo was confident: "I will have to thank him when the time comes."

Every year in Cannes, the Chinese film and television circles hold a large-scale gala, which is led by China Film Group and a leading director, and all filmmakers, actors and stars participating in the film festival are invited to participate.

Last year’s gala was “Chinese Film Night”.

The specifications are quite high.

I have officially registered my name at the film festival.

The host is Brother Kaizi.

The lineup of Chinese-language filmmakers coming to Cannes this year is not as luxurious as last year, and the standards of the party are expected to be lowered.

As for the host, it is either Lao Jiang or Jia Zhangke.

……

arrived.

get off.

Zhou Mo took Da Tiantian by the hand, and the two of them strolled on the streets of the small town of Cannes.

"It's truly a grand gathering of filmmakers from all over the world. The atmosphere of movies is everywhere." Da Tiantian looked left and right, with excitement on her face, as if she couldn't get enough of the clothes.

Movie posters are everywhere.

Well-known actors and directors are also everywhere.

"I heard that Nicole Kidman will also be here this year." Da Tiantian said with admiration in her tone.

"The Oscar-winning actress is simply divine."

Zhou Mo nodded.

This guy is really awesome.

Not only does he have great acting skills, he also maintains very good shape. He was 51 years old when he filmed "Aquaman", but he still looked very young.

It was also thanks to James Wan that he found Hai later to play the female lead when he was filming this movie.

If any other actress were to replace him, they really wouldn’t be able to compete with Nicole’s performance.

Moreover, he is a member of this year's jury.

Da Tiantian was only interested in strolling around and chasing stars, so she didn't even think about packing up at the hotel. She just took Zhou Mo for a walk on the streets of the town.

Zhou Mo also wanted to experience the artistic culture of Cannes, so he just followed Da Tiantian around.

By the way, let’s see if there are any good works.

suddenly.

Zhou Mo seemed to notice a figure out of the corner of his eye.

stop.

Turn around and look.

But I only saw people coming and going.

"What's wrong?" Da Tiantian turned her head.

"It seems like I saw an 'acquaintance'." Zhou Mo's tone was a little weird.

"Who?"

"Uncle Ba."

"Uncle Ba?" Da Tiantian was confused: "Who is Uncle Ba?"

"It's Mads Mikkelsen, the wrongly accused actor in The Hunt, who won the Best Actor award in the main competition unit of Cannes last year."

"Oh!"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up: "Is he here too?"

There are a lot of good films in Cannes every year, but only a few are as famous in China as "The Hunt".

Max deserves credit for the excellence of "The Hunt".

Da Tiantian admires Max very much.

The latter was not an actor at first.

She is a dancer who has been in the industry for ten years.

He had absolutely no professional background, and when he entered the film and television industry, he didn't have any help from anyone at the beginning.

But I pieced them together one by one on my own.

“By the way, why do you call him Uncle Ba?” Da Tiantian asked puzzledly.

“He has a TV show coming out this year, Hannibal.”

Da Tiantian was stunned.

She subconsciously thought of a movie. "The Silence of the Lambs?"

"No, the characters are the same name, and they are both adapted from Red Dragon, but the plots are quite different, but the acting is equally good."

Da Tiantian suddenly realized.

"So you call him Uncle Ba? That's quite interesting... Are you interested in him?"

Zhou Mo smiled and nodded.

"He plays the role of guiding a good kid into the abyss very well. I have some such roles in my hands. Let's see if there is a chance to work with him in the future."

The two men did not try to hide their identities, so their tracks were quickly discovered.

Half an hour later.

The two people were found while shopping in the store.

"Director Zhou, Tiantian, it's been a long time since we last met."

Turn around.

Fan Qiaoqiao's figure came into view.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, good afternoon." Da Tiantian smiled and hugged Fan Qiaoqiao.

Zhou Mo also waved and said hello.

"You two didn't even tell me you were coming so I could go and greet you in advance." Fan Qiaoqiao pretended to complain.

Zhou Mo joked, "Just based on this line from Sister Qiaoqiao, if it were put in A Dream of Red Mansions, it would be no worse than Teacher Deng Jie's Wang Xifeng."

Fan Qiaoqiao smiled and waved his hands: "Director Zhou, you are too kind. I am far behind Teacher Deng Jie. Besides, if I were really Wang Xifeng, why would I come here alone? I would have arranged two sedan chairs to take you back."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. This is our first time here, so we should just take a look around and experience the local customs and culture."

Da Tiantian looked at Fan Qiaoqiao, who was dressed in casual clothes, and felt a little curious.

"Is Sister Qiao Qiao out for a walk as well?"

"That's not the case. I came out specifically to greet you two. If I were any later, you two would have been intercepted by someone."

Da Tiantian shook her head and said, "It's okay. Some crews did call us before, and we have already responded to them, saying that we will see them at the party after the opening ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qiaoqiao looked at Da Tiantian strangely.

After reacting, he suddenly laughed and said, "Tiantian, I'm not talking about the domestic crew."

Da Tiantian:?

"If it's not from China, where else could it be? From abroad?"

"Yes, there are many crews, directors and actors who want to meet you two."

"How is that possible? We have never been here before."

Fan Qiaoqiao: "But this does not prevent them from having heard of your names and wanting to meet you."

Da Tiantian was curious: "Why? We two shouldn't be that famous."

Fan Bingbing laughed and said, "Oh my silly girl, you are underestimating your popularity now, just talking about you, Tiantian, you are quite famous in the East Asian film and television circles.

Especially in Korea, because the movie "When a Man Falls in Love" that you starred in is more in line with some trends in the film and television industry in Korea. In fact, a few days ago, a friend in Korea asked me if I had your contact information to see if I could buy the relevant copyrights. "

Da Tiantian knew for sure that Fan Qiaoqiao was quite famous for making kimchi.

However, this is the first time since my debut that I have been asked about copyright.

Da Tiantian felt a little dizzy.

He subconsciously pointed at Zhou Mo.

"What about him? Is he also looking for someone from Kimchi?"

"Of course... there are more." Fan Qiaoqiao casually mentioned a name: "Little Leo, I don't need to introduce this person any further."

"Well, Leonardo...I think he's here to promote The Great Gatsby."

Fan Qiaoqiao nodded and continued to introduce: "You two should still remember that Leo actually filmed a remake of Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs? That movie even won an Oscar... Later, Director Zhou filmed New World, which also performed so well, so of course they wanted to get to know him? They even said there was a possibility of collaboration..."

Zhou Mo suddenly asked, "Sister Qiao Qiao, have you seen Little Leo?"

Fan Qiaoqiao waved his hands: "Director Zhou overestimates me. I can't get into their circle. It was Pepper Potts, Gwyneth, who told me about it. She knows Tobey Maguire, and Tobey Maguire is working with Leo this time..."

Zhou Mo nodded.

I didn't take it too seriously.

The so-called Little Leo wanted to make friends with him, but at most he could just get to know him.

In 2013, Leo was still at the peak of his career.

Although he already has 50% of the charm of the future water gun boy, his resources are still there.

"Great", "Wall Street", "Wild".

The fighting power is quite wild.

It is unlikely that they would look down upon this "unknown" little director.

The possibility of cooperation is mostly based on rumors.

In comparison, he is more interested in Uncle Ba's changes.

After all, he is a legendary master of being a human being, much more interesting than some water gun boy...
