Chapter 410: Cannes Film Festival (Middle)
Mr. Higashino, come and play on my yacht when you have time. β
"Oh, thanks Mr. VV for his kindness, but I'm still busy. β
"Oh, you don't know, Mr. Higashino is a great writer, and people are very busy. β
"Miss Zhang, that, I'm just a screenwriter. β
"Oh~ yes, it's a screenwriter, haha...... It's just a screenwriter. β
"Well, I see, Mr. Higashino is a talented young man. β
"Thank you, thank you, then, I'll be busy according to Miss Zhang's wishes. β
"Oh, okay. β
"Mr. Higashino, why don't we give you a ride?"
"No need. β
On the streets of Cannes, Higashino Qiang ended an awkward conversation with Zhang Ziyi and her new boyfriend VV.
There's no way, it's so embarrassing, you don't even have to listen, it's embarrassing to smell.
Moreover, after separating, the two of them got on the supercar and left.
Higashino Qiang saw it, and he was helpless for a while.
To say that this chapter Niangniang is also a powerful character, and her business ability is also extremely outstanding, but she still can't get rid of the traditional way of actresses in the entertainment industry.
It's not that I look down on anyone, but the reality is like this, many female stars choose to marry into wealthy families after becoming famous, in fact, our China side is even worse, many old artists are indeed both virtuous and artistic, the hardest hit area is Hong Kong, many actresses just know that the rich man has a wife, even if they play golf, they have to stick it.
Dong Yeqiang didn't want to criticize this phenomenon, because in that place, in that period, those actresses were famous and looked at wearing gold and jade, but in fact, they couldn't make any money at all, and even many so-called stars couldn't even afford to pay for the building.
Zhang Niangniang, to be honest, is already a woman in the new era, and she already has enough personality, but there is still no way to escape this kind of thinking.
Dong Yeqiang just felt a little pity, as for what happened later, Zhang Niangniang regained momentum, it is estimated that it has nothing to do with Wang Banbi, it may just be because of the foil of peers.
In the huge entertainment industry, it is difficult to find an actress with acting skills and good looks, and it is really strange enough.
Dong Ye Qiang knew these things in advance, and the current situation, Zhang Niangniang shows a rich boyfriend like this, how proud she is in her heart.
Higashino Qiang really doesn't really care.
Supercars, yachts, and I'm not a problem, but I, Mr. Higashino, are more low-key, and then I'm talking about it...... Just writing in Roppongi's apartment, and dealing with relationships with five girls, is enough to give us a headache.
I don't even have a driver's license now, so I don't have time to study.
Flicking his shirt lightly with his hand, it seems that the embarrassment and all kinds of things just now have drifted away with the dust.
Higashino decided to return to the big army.
......
The Cannes Film Festival has not yet opened, but some people are very nervous.
The main creative team of "The Undertaker" came early, and they have a thorough understanding of this small French town, and they feel quite comfortable.
But right now, a lot of news makes it difficult for them to get comfortable.
A cafΓ© by the sea, the natural selling point is not only coffee, but also the blue sea in the distance, and the other is the beautiful woman who dresses very coolly on the beach, or simply gives up all constraints.
But Higashino is different, he doesn't look at beautiful women.
"Mr. Higashino! It's really not good! Ah, I didn't expect that the great director of the Wang family is also here! "Blueberry Night" is the opening film......
"Uh-huh, I see. β
Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Norah Jones, Rachel Weisz, ...... Wow, that's amazing!"
"Oh, that's right. β
"Teacher, don't you feel very stressed?"
"Indeed, Alexander. β
"Well, that's what, a movie about Iran, "I grew up in Iran", which was very good before, and now it'...... By the way, the teacher should also know that the Cannes Film Festival has always had the power of journalists and film critics, and it is said that they are very optimistic about this one. β
"That...... This seems to have been made by the United States, is there really no problem with Iranian movies made by the United States?"
"Wow! worthy of a teacher, really knowledgeable......"
How can you have time to see cool beauties, just dealing with Yojiro Takida and Masahiro Motoki is enough for Higashino to choke.
These two are definitely well-known filmmakers in Japan, and they have seen a lot of storms before, even if the Japanese entertainment industry is not very international, but the two of them have definitely seen a lot of big scenes.
But at this time, the performance is like a junior brother who welcomes an experienced technician.
What else can Higashino Qiang say?
"Director Takida, Motoki-kun, I already know the intentions of the two of you, then, do you want to hear what Director Morita asked me to bring?"
It's amazing, as soon as these words came out, Yojiro Takida and Masahiro Motoki paid great attention.
"Really?"
"Teacher, please!"
Seeing this, Higashino Qiang smiled and said incomprehensibly: "Although Director Morita is seriously ill in bed, he is also very concerned about Cannes, thousands of miles away, and he said this about winning the award......
At the end, a long note was played.
can hang Takida and Motoki up.
So, what would Higashino say?
"Absolutely, OK!"
This...
"Wow! It's director Morita, it's really him!"
"Oops, I seem to have lost again. It's me who lost, yes, how could I be like this? Our film is written by Higashino-sensei, directed by Morita-kun and me, and Motoki-kun's wonderful performance, as well as Mr. Yamazaki Nu's dedication, and Ryoko, by the way, and Ms. Aragaki's smile, it must be no problem!
Of course, Yojiro Takida is the happiest one.
Listening to Director Morita's words, his whole person seemed to be infused with strength.
In fact, Director Takida was originally a high-profile person, originally, it was difficult to keep a low profile when he was a director and engaged in art.
But in fact...... That's right, Higashino Qiang hid the truth and did not tell the truth.
Director Morita obviously didn't say that.
But what happens if you say it as it is?
Higashino Qiang felt that it was definitely not as good as this sentence of 'absolutely, OK'.
Moreover, he didn't want to see Takida and Motoki who were so flustered.
Inside:
This sentence was said by my ghost teacher!
Isn't it the Palme d'Or in Cannes, I've got it!
What I think in my heart, my face is more confident.
Takida met with Motoki, and morale was also high.
The rest of the chat...
"Well, isn't this Takida-kun and Motoki-kun? Oh, this is Higashino-sensei, right?"
"Oh...... You are...... Heck, it's director Kawase. β
Just as the three of them were about to talk, a middle-aged woman appeared.
Yojiro Takita was the first to react, he knew him, so he introduced it to everyone.
Naomi Kawase, a female director, was also shortlisted for her film at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
It's called "Forest of Logs". γ
It's fun to be a director of Kawase, and I carry a promotional brochure for my movie with me.
Higashino took it and saw it and found out that it was officially produced by Cannes.
"Forest of Logs" is a translation of Chinese, now the Cannes Film Festival attaches great importance to Asian films, especially to China, this film festival is not only the king of sunglasses, but also Feng Xiaogang with "Assembly Number", director Xu Anhua with "Aunt", Uncle Benshan with "Fallen Leaves to the Roots", Bingbing and Dehua's "Ink Attack", and many others have come to the exhibition.
Obviously, there are more Chinese films than Japan and South Korea, but there is only one "Blueberry Night" shortlisted for the main competition unit this year.
Therefore, it is normal to translate into Chinese, but the real Japanese name of this movie is "Funeral Forest".
With the word 'funeral', you can understand what this movie means.
It is also very clear on the introduction that it is a movie about Alzheimer's patients.
The funeral is a coffin.
Higashino Qiang has already understood, and Yojiro Takida and Masahiro Motoki naturally understand.
"Director Kawase, Sbarassi. β
"Director Takida is too polite. β
Both of them are directors, and they have known each other before, so let's talk about it now.
In Higashino's view, director Kawase is already a little old and decrepit, so it should be safe.
Don't forget, in addition to movies, director Takida is also a very powerful love veteran.
Well, this observation is really unacceptable.
But in reality, Higashino stumbled upon something.
That's director Kawase, who glances at him from time to time.
What's going on?
Higashino couldn't help but think of a sentence from later generations.
Auntie, I don't want AJ.
Fortunately, Director Kawase chatted with Director Takida for a while, talked about the film festival, and left.
Everyone waved goodbye, but Masahiro Motoki seemed to think of something.
Ten years ago, director Kawase won the CamΓ©ra d'Or at the Palme d'Or. β
"Yes, exactly. It is also called the New Director Award. Yojiro Takida affirmed.
Higashino really didn't know about this, "I see." β
He really doesn't know much about this Naomi Kawase, and he didn't want anything AJ in the first place.
The appearance of Naomi Kawase is just a small episode.
The three of them then set out to prepare for the Cannes Film Festival.
......
May 16th.
The Cannes Film Festival opened as scheduled.
"Blueberry Night", as the opening film, is naturally eye-catching.
But everyone knows that the red carpet is even more glamorous.
It seems to have started in 2005, when Yuan Yuan was wearing a very beautiful Chinese-style evening dress and short hairstyle, which shocked the scene.
No one would have imagined that at that year's film festival, Yuan Yuan was only one vote away from winning the Cannes Film Queen, which was said by Wu Yusen, a member of the jury at that time.
Higashino Qiang just remembered that there was a guy at the starting point who wrote a book, and there was such a paragraph, but he was still dumped in Cannes, which was really annoying.
But now, the battleground has been replaced.
Bingbing, very low-key.
The really high-profile is Zhang Ziyi.
She is dressed in white, while her rich boyfriend is dressed in black.
One black and one white, murdered countless films.
Higashino Qiang just smiled when he saw this.
Maybe it's because of this time, Bingbing's momentum later is really strong.
What about yourself?
Nothing.
At this time, Dong Yeqiang's mentality is already very mature, and there is a sense of detachment between actions.
With his tall figure and handsome face.
Today, as in the past, I chose a white suit, after all, many people know him as Mr. Uigo.
What's more, the jade tree is in the wind, and the temperament is free and easy.
But just when he was about to walk on the red carpet with everyone.
"Higashino-kun. β
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiang actually appeared.
What's even more interesting is that she is wearing a very playful black gauze dress, which ...... It's Mikai Sand.
Gothic Lori.
"Why are you here?" Higashino was a little puzzled.
But Xiaoxiang generously grabbed Dong Yeqiang's arm, "Walking the red carpet with you." β
This...
How can Higashino pull out his arm?
"Because of Miss Zhang?"
"Anyway, Higashino-kun can't lose!"
What else can Higashino Qiang say?
I had to smile and tighten my arms...
PS: The second more is sent, thank you for your support!
