On the first weekend of May, the Festival de Cannes will officially kick off, bringing together thousands of filmmakers and fans from all over the world.

With the change of the film selection system in recent years, coupled with the fact that filmmakers from the third world have begun to enter the eyeballs, the Cannes Film Festival has become more and more popular, and Cannes is the leader of the three major European film festivals.

The Cannes Film Festival is an irresistible temptation for 90 percent of the world's filmmakers.

Of course, if you're a big guy like Woody Allen, you can wait for Cannes to "look at the thatched house" in a reserved manner, and then talk about the silent conditions.

Although Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, his global popularity is still several levels worse than that of a big man like Woody Allen.

But despite this, the title of the Golden Lion Award still has some use, at least he is no longer an unknown junior in Europe, and Wu Jianye's acceptance speech when he won the Golden Lion Award still shocked the three major European film festivals.

The three major film festivals are not peaceful with each other, and they are also fighting openly and secretly, in the final analysis, it is naturally to expand their influence and improve their own qualifications.

With the coercion, the influence will naturally follow.

A European newcomer like Wu Jianye is naturally the object they want to fight for, which is called having grass or not.

.......

At Nice Airport, Wu Jianye and the others got off the plane, and Phantom Entertainment had already arranged a car to send them to Cannes, 20 kilometers away.

The Mediterranean breeze blows gently, and the temperature in Cannes in May is between 13° and 22°, making the climate pleasant.

On the road, there are countless vehicles. There are even many backpackers with huge sleeping bags on their backs, making a pilgrimage to Cannes step by step.

"What are these people doing?" Zhao Fei asked curiously.

Wu Jianye looked at these people outside and said with a smile: "Pilgrimage is almost the same as domestic pilgrimage!"

Mu Deyuan muttered: "These people really have perseverance!"

"Everyone has their own beliefs, and outsiders have no say in this kind of thing. Wu Jianye said.

As Wu Jianye said, some people think that movies are just their idle pastime, while others think that this is their own belief, and they can see their own lives in movies and find the true meaning of their lives.

"Old Wu, this time when you come to Cannes, will there be the same situation as in Xiangjiang before?" Zhao Fei asked.

In the car, several other people also looked at Wu Jianye, who had been treated differently at the Academy Awards because of "The Last Emperor", and made such a big move, which made the Academy Awards lose face, making him really feel Wu Jianye's influence in Xiangjiang.

Wu Jianye smiled bitterly: "There is no way to appear, Xiangjiang is Xiangjiang, Cannes is Cannes, we can only be regarded as an outsider here!"

Zhao Fei pouted: "It's boring." ”

Wu saw that the night was white, and Zhao Fei glanced at him.

Mu Deyuan said with a smile: "Whether or not to win the award is a matter for the jury, and it is already a good result to be selected." ”

This time, a different carload of people rolled their eyes at Mu Deyuan.

"Lao Tzu came to run for the election, just to win the prize, what can be selected is considered a victory, it is just a child's nonsense. ”

"But how do you know you're going to win?"

"Not knowing and not having this idea are two different things!" Wu Jianye corrected.

"Okay, you're the director, you have the final say, so what do you say you have the best chance of winning that award?"

Zhao Fei said on the side: "Of course it's the Palme d'Or!"

This time, Wu Jianye didn't speak, to be honest, he really didn't have such a big luxury to win the Palme d'Or at this film festival, because of this Cannes Film Festival, there is no fairness.

The president of this year's Cannes Film Festival, Yves Mondang, willfully gave the Palme d'Or to "Under the Sun of Satan", which was enough to shock the entire European film industry.

French films won this honor again after 21 years, and at the moment of the upset, the audience and reporters booed and even left the seat.

It is precisely because of this that this Cannes Film Festival has been whipped by many fans. It can be regarded as a self-congratulation of French author-filmmakers and European writers and filmmakers.

Equally capricious as Yvemond is the King of Sunglasses, who is regarded as a master by petty bourgeoisie.

The king of sunglasses served as the chairman of the jury at the 59th Cannes Film Festival, and after letting himself go, he made the feat of awarding five actors and six actresses in one go!

One session is the top six, and the amount is increased without the price increase!

That year, old man Jill Jacob spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Then Lao Wang, a master of Cannes film, went to the Berlin Film Festival to have fun.

At film festivals, the tastes of the judges sometimes determine the attribution of film awards.

The Palme d'Or is unlikely, but you can also fight for the director award, which is the most important award for Wu Jianye when he comes to Cannes this time.

If he can win the director award, it will also greatly improve Wu Jianye's status in the world, and it can also open up the influence of domestic films in the European market.

Its realization now has a certain influence in Europe, but that is all brought by Xiangjiang Films.

"True Colors of Heroes" got off to a good start. For the first time, the Western market has seen "shootout films" other than kung fu movies.

At this point in time, Hong Kong Island's action movies belong to "high-end technology and concepts" in the film action industry, and the ghosts are only jaw-dropping when they watch it.

In later generations, after "The Matrix", the action directors represented by the Yuan family class and the family class entered Hollywood, which brought a wonderful and new action concept to Hollywood.

The reason why "The True Color of Heroes" is a cross-era classic is not only because of its box office in Asia, but more importantly, the violent aesthetics it shows allow ghosts to appreciate the oriental aesthetics in addition to kung fu movies for the first time.

In the eighties, Wu Baige was indeed wearing a pig's foot halo. The aesthetics of violence that he unconsciously developed had a profound impact on the film industry.

Later, Takeshi Kitano, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Takashi Miike, and the Wachowski sisters were also affected by this.

The car was parked at a four-star hotel in Cannes, and the manager arranged by Phantom Entertainment was waiting here early.

In fact, according to Linda's meaning, she didn't want Wu Jianye to live here at such a low price, but was going to arrange for Wu Jianye to live on an island not far away, a seaview villa, or a presidential suite.

However, Wu Jianye did not agree to this, he could naturally live in it, but this is the gathering place of all the film companies of the Cannes Film Festival, and you can still see a lot of scenery here.......

In front of the hotel, countless backpackers walked up to the hotel residents who stopped their cars to sell and pester.

"Excuse me, sir, would you mind leaving me an empty bunk?"

"All I need is a bed, I'm yours tonight!"

"Handsome, maybe we can have a fantastic evening together tonight, if you will. ”

Exotic girls keep coming forward to sell themselves, just to be able to live on the side of the road. During the two weeks of the Cannes Film Festival, the park loungers become a place of luxury.

"Gollum!" Mu Deyuan saw such a scene for the first time, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and Zhao Fei had already seen such a situation in Venice, looking at Mu Deyuan's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

"Laughing, laughing!" Mu Deyuan glanced at Zhao Fei with a blushing face.

"Director Wu, I'm Matthew Murphy from Phantom Entertainment, and I've arranged a room for you!" Matthew Murphy was wearing a decent suit, not as burly as American, but a little thin.

Wu Jianye took the key and said with a smile: "Five people, one room for each person." Then he glanced at Zhao Fei and Mu Deyuan, and teased: "The girl here is very open, but you should also pay attention to your body and understanding yourself, after all, brushing a mop in the sea is not something to be proud of." ”

Chen Chong's face turned red beside him, he glanced at Wu Jianye with disgust, took the key and walked into the hotel first.

The arrival of the Cannes Film Festival has brought the entire Cannes hotel industry into the hottest time of the year.

The hotel is not far from the seaside boulevard, you can see the sea from the window, and you can walk to the Festival Palace in seven or eight minutes. Most of the people staying in the hotel are filmmakers from all over the world.

A few people walked into the hotel lobby, and saw a lot of men standing in the lobby seemingly inadvertently, turning the key in their hands.

This scene is like the entrance to the art, teacher's and nursing colleges, with drink bottles placed in front of a row of luxury cars.

Wu Jianye was too familiar with this scene.

It's not that girls are more open after a few decades, but that after a few decades, the cost of a one-night stand is cheaper.

However, before Wu Jianye could turn his key, he saw a familiar face in the lobby.

"Old Wu, look, there are still Asians here!" Wu Jianye saw it, and Zhao Fei and the others naturally saw it too.

Wu Jianye smiled: "That's Wanwan's filmmaker." ”

Hou Xiaoyuan!

Wanwan's film master, and the king of sunglasses, are both god-level directors of the king of the pit king, of course, the current Hou Xiaoyuan has not yet reached this height.

"Wanwan's filmmakers, didn't you see Wanwan's films selected in the Cannes Film Festival's house programme?" Zhao Fei said curiously.

"I told you a long time ago, this is not just a film festival, don't tell others that it's me when you go back, it's just a layman, the film festival is only a part, the most important thing is that this is the largest film market in the whole of Europe, he should be here to promote his own films. At the same time, it can also prepare for other film festivals. ”

"Alright, don't worry about the others, let's go to the room!" Mu Deyuan said, he had never been interested in this kind of thing.

Wu Jianye nodded, he did not deny the greatness of Hou Xiaoyuan in the Chinese entertainment film industry, but for the existence of the king of sunglasses, Wu Jianye was still ready to stay away.

But that's often the case, and the more you try to avoid things, the harder it is to avoid.

"Director Wu!"

After Hou Xiaoyuan saw Wu Jianye, he smiled in surprise and came to Wu Jianye.

Since everyone took the initiative to say hello, Wu Jianye couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore, "It turned out to be Director Hou, there were too many people just now, and I didn't see Director Hou, I'm really sorry!"

Hou Xiaoyuan: "Director Wu knows me?"

"Of course, I've watched Director Hou's "Once Upon a Time in Childhood" several times!" Wu Jianye said.

Hou Xiaoyuan: "I have watched Director Wu's "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "The Last Emperor" more than once!"

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned, Hou Xiaoyuan had watched "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and he was not curious, "Director Hou, with all due respect, the movie "The Last Emperor" doesn't seem to be released in Wanwan, right?"

Hou Xiaoran smiled: "I came to Cannes in Xiangjiang. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jianye nodded: "It made Director Hou laugh!"

Later, Wu Jianye introduced Zhao Fei, Mu Deyuan, and Zunlong to Hou Xiaoyuan, and Chen Chong had already returned to his room.

"Director Wu, it's better to meet by chance, we Chinese all pay attention to a fate, and now we meet here is also a kind of fate, it just so happens that I have some insights on the movie, and I want to discuss it with Director Wu, I don't know if Director Wu is interested. Hou Xiaoyuan said seriously.

has said that, it is impossible for Wu Jianye to refuse, anyway, he has made up his mind, and he will definitely not invest in Hou Xiaoyuan's movie.

Wu Jianye casually put his door number key in his pocket, and walked into the elevator with Hou Xiaoyuan, but what he didn't notice was that the key was not actually put in his pocket.......

Looking at the enthusiastic Hou Xiaoran, Wu Jianye had no choice but to hand over his luggage to Zhao Fei, and followed Hou Xiaoyuan into his room.

"Deyuan, how do I feel that the cleaning aunt in this corridor doesn't look at the two of them right?" Zhao Fei muttered.

Zun Long smiled beside him: "If it's right, it's weird, two big men walked into a room shoulder to shoulder......

Mu Deyuan: "Lao Wu won't have an accident, right?"

Zhao Fei teased: "As far as Lao Wu's body is concerned, what you should be worried about is whether Hou Xiaoyuan is okay." ”

Wu Jianye naturally didn't know that he had become the target of ridicule by Zhao Fei and others, otherwise he would definitely fly one by one of the three of them.

"Deyuan, I won't be able to find you kid for a while. Zhao Fei said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Mu Deyuan looked at Zhao Fei curiously.

"You're going to go to the hall and get your key in a minute. Zhao Fei said with a smile.

"Did you kid turn around when you were in Venice, so thoughtful?" Mu Deyuan said not to be outdone.

"Alright, you two talk, I'm on my own floor!" Zun Long laughed.

Watching Zunlong get out of the elevator, Zhao Fei said as if he had discovered a new continent: "I found that Matthew Murphy is very good at doing things?"

"What's wrong?"

"The four of us are on different floors, only Zun Long and Chen Chong are on the same floor. ”

Mu Deyuan: "......"
