Chapter 578: Cannes Film Festival?

Li Yi's participation in the fan wedding has occupied the first place on the Weibo hot search list for several days, and the entertainment sections of major portals, as well as self-media, are constantly hotly discussed for this reason, and the whole world is full of related posts!

Just when Li Yishang was still in the center of public focus, the exposure of another incident pushed him to the forefront, and the entire Internet and the Chinese entertainment industry were shocked!

At the Cannes International Film Festival to be held soon, Li Yi was shortlisted for Best Actor with his performance in "Journey to the West", and will participate in this year's Cannes Best Actor Competition!!

The Xana International Film Festival, founded in 1939, is the most influential and top international film festival in the world, and is known as the three major international film festivals in Europe along with the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.

The title of Shana actor is also quite golden, if it is simply compared in terms of influence, it is more authoritative than Li Yi's Golden Horse Award, Golden Image Award, Golden Rooster Award, and Hundred Flowers Award, and is more recognized by the industry and the audience!!

And Li Yi's shortlisting for the Cannes Best Actor is both natural and surprising for everyone!

With Li Yi's acting skills sweeping the top major actor awards in China, it is really natural to be shortlisted for Cannes, and even many big people feel that with Li Yi's strength, they should have been nominated a long time ago

And the reason for the surprise is that the Cannes Film Festival is almost one-sided in favor of art films.

As long as you search for the films that have been shortlisted and awarded in the past, you can find that they are all literary films and niche movies!

Therefore, many movies that are tepid in China and have no way to be released can get good awards in Xana, but those commercial films that are popular and have a good box office can't even reach the threshold of Xana!

Since Li Yi's debut, all the movies he has participated in are commercial films, and he is known as the box office elixir, and he has become the most representative leader of domestic commercial films!

And "Journey to the West" is not only a commercial film, but also a comedy that is not very popular in the eyes of the professional judges of major international film festivals, and even some comedies that cannot be put on the stage!

Li Yi was nominated for the Best Actor in Cannes with a comedy, which is not only a unique precedent since the establishment of Cannes, but also an extremely rare scene in the history of the International Film Festival!

Not to mention that domestic fans and the entertainment industry were extremely surprised, and the international community was in an uproar and shocked!!

"It's amazing my brother Yi! Cannes actor, the gold content is much higher than the Bay Island Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Island Academy Awards, etc., it is an internationally recognized award! With the strength of Brother Yi's sweeping of major award ceremonies, this summer Cannes actor must also be handy!"

"Brother Yi is going to rush out of the country and break into the rhythm of the international film industry, so good!!"

"Don't be too happy, I feel that Brother Yi's award this time is a little suspenseful! I don't mean that Brother Yi doesn't have the strength to win awards, the key is that the shortlisted films don't conform to the previous style of Cannes at all, and the possibility of being brushed down is too great!"

......

"I agree with the point of view upstairs, I think so too! I feel that Xana is just looking at Brother Yi's popularity in Asia, and wants to make Asian fans pay more attention to their film festivals, so he let Brother Yi be shortlisted, in fact, he didn't plan to let Brother Yi win the award at all, he was deliberately calculating and using Brother Yi from the beginning!"

"I'm not a fan of Brother Yi, although I also like to watch Li Yi's movies, but I said that in my heart, Li Yi is not qualified to enter the international film industry at present, and he still needs to sharpen his skills for a few more years!"

"I feel the same way! And in terms of facts, "Journey to the West" is indeed a very good movie, and Li Yi's acting skills in it are also very good, but this is a comedy! With a vulgar comedy, it was actually shortlisted for the Cannes Best Actor, which is funny enough in itself, and if it really wins the award, it will be even more ridiculous in the world!!"

Besides, Brother Yi's "Journey to the West" is also very connotative, comedy is only its shell, tragedy is only internal, the real core is the discussion of love and hatred!

"Support Brother Yi! I also think "Journey to the West" has a lot of connotation, although it is a little surprising that Brother Yi can be shortlisted, it is definitely not as funny and ridiculous as some people say!!

......

As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet in China was in full swing to discuss the matter, and the stars and actors in the circle were also communicating with each other in private.

Everyone has their own opinions on this matter, mainly divided into two voices, one is that Li Yi is qualified to be shortlisted for the Cannes Best Actor, and will create a unique precedent in the history of the Cannes Awards, and the other is that it is impossible for Li Yi to win the Cannes Best Actor in a comedy, so it is inappropriate to argue about it!

Overall, the voices that support Li Yi are bigger and more, and even those who don't support Li Yi just feel that the comedy is not qualified to participate in the selection, rather than questioning Li Yi's acting skills are not worthy of winning the award.

And this is just a domestic voice.

In the international community, mainly European and American countries, the decision of Cannes caused an uproar, and there are also many voices, almost one-sidedly not optimistic about this matter, let alone Li Yi, a Chinese actor who is not well understood in their eyes!!

"Oh my God! A Chinese actor who acted in a comedy film was actually nominated for the best actor in Xana! Even if it was just a shortlist, I thought it was a joke!"

"I feel the same way! I don't mean to belittle Chinese actors, but an actor who plays comedy, no matter how good he acts, he is not worthy of winning the best actor! And even our country's Jim Carrey has not won an international award for comedy so far, and he has not even been shortlisted, how can a Chinese comedian have such treatment!"

"Our country's national treasure actor Rowan Atkinson, who is often called Mr. Bean, does not have this treatment! Even Chaplin, a real comedy master, has never won this kind of honor in his life! Even if he wants to win the best actor by comedy, he should be awarded to our Mr. Bean!"

"I don't know much about this Chinese man named Li Yi, but some friends around me will watch his movies, it turns out that he is acting in comedy, how is it compared to Zhou Xingchi in China?"

"I don't like to watch Asian comedies, I don't think it's as good as in our country, and Zhou Xingchi's comedies are very popular with my Asian friends, but I think it's terrible! ”

"I have seen this shortlisted movie, "Journey to the West". A comedy set in Chinese mythology, the story is very messy, there is no laughter, I can't understand it at all!"

"Hell, why should Cannes let a comedy finalist for the Best Actor Award!

......

Although Li Yi already has a certain audience base in Europe and the United States, and many fans know his name, after all, it is only a minority, and there are obviously many more Europeans and Americans who don't know him!

Therefore, when the news spread to Europe and the United States, many people instinctively regarded him as a comedian when they heard that Li Yi was nominated for Best Actor in Cannes because of his comedy, and when they had never seen his movie at all, they felt extremely repulsed by him!

Because in their opinion, movies were originally born on their side, and the most mature and complete film industry system belongs to them, both in the past and now.

All kinds of international awards, and they are basically the ones who win the awards, and they themselves have a sense of superiority!

Even if someone wins the international actor because of comedy, in their opinion, it should be a comedian on their side!

Because of the heated discussion of this matter, many Europeans and Americans deliberately watched the movie "Journey to the West", and many people didn't even finish watching half of it, so they called it a bad movie, and they firmly believed that Li Yi was not worthy of winning the actor!

Because of the different cultural systems they belong to, just as many Asians watch European and American comedies or talk shows and can't understand many of the jokes, Europeans and Americans can't understand where the jokes of Asian comedy are.

Therefore, in the movie "Journey to the West", the cultural system has the same root and origin, and Asians who blend with each other can watch it with relish, and can understand the core of the movie, but unless they are Europeans and Americans who are familiar with and understand Asia, especially Chinese culture, they can't understand it at all.

Just like when Li Yi became the first Asian film with a box office of more than 10 billion yuan with Infernal Affairs, although it also attracted a lot of attention in Europe and the United States.

But after watching the movie, Europeans and Americans can only understand that this is a story of black and white undercover agents competing with each other, but they can't understand the sense of fate that is carried out throughout, so Infernal Affairs is regarded as a masterpiece in Asia, but the score in Europe and the United States is not bad!

For domestic and foreign countries, Taijia's controversy about being shortlisted for the Cannes actor with "Journey to the West", although Li Yi knows 20, he doesn't care too much.

It's definitely the best to win the award, and there's nothing to regret if you can't get it, he has won many actors, and he has become more and more peaceful about winning the award, and he doesn't care what others say behind his back.

The mouth grows on other people, and instead of thinking about how to argue with people, it is better to do more practical things.

For him, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is his first priority at the moment.

After attending Chen Yulin's wedding and accompanying Cheng Yajie in Hangzhou for two days, Li Yi returned to the crew and continued to devote all his energy to filming.

Time is in a blink of an eye, and another week or so has passed, and the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is going very smoothly, Ning Caichen played by Li Yi and Nie Xiaoqing played by Zhang Min, the emotional line in the movie, after the previous encounter and foreshadowing, has gradually become clear.

The scene that will be filmed indoors today is the foreshadowing and key for the two to fall in love with each other and come together!

Every time there is a Li Yi scene, there are always the most onlookers on the scene, especially tonight!

Because this scene is not only the emotional scene between Li Yi and Zhang Min, but also the kiss scene between the two!

"Ready!" The assistant director sat in the director's chair, holding a loudspeaker, and when he saw Li Yi in the camera, he immediately shouted: "Begin!"

The first thing that came into the camera was Zhang Min leaning against the wooden sliding door, looking anxious.

"Xiaoqian, open the door!" Outside the door, there was the figure of Li Yi printed on the window paper, as well as the shouting.

When Zhang Min heard this, he could only turn around and open the door, and asked urgently, "Why did you come here?"

As he spoke, he looked back with anxiety and worry on his face.

"I heard the piano, so I'm here to find you. Li Yi said.

"Come on in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was dragged in by Zhang Min, and then looked outside and quickly closed the door.

"You can't come to this place!" Zhang Min said with an anxious face, and at the same time took his hand and walked towards the house.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm here to say goodbye to you!" Li Yi said.

Hearing this, Zhang Min paused, stopped and asked with a little surprise and reluctance, "Leave tomorrow?"

"yes, but I'll definitely find a way to come back to see you!" Li Yi looked directly into her eyes and said sincerely.

"Don't!" Zhang Min said with a complicated expression.

Then, the camera turned to give a close-up of the sliding door in the corridor on the side, and I saw several figures printed on the window paper, obviously someone coming.

"It's not good, someone is coming, you hide!" Zhang Min glanced at it, dragged Li Yi, and pulled him to the bathtub with floating petals with a panicked expression.

"Grandma's nose is very smart, if you hide inside, he won't be able to smell you!" While Zhang Min spoke, he let Li Yi hide in the bathtub.

"Wet again?" Li Yi said a word, and then Zhang Min directly pressed his head into it with his hand, and the whole person was soaked in the bath bucket.

The door was slowly opened from the outside, but the person who came was not the grandmother who made Zhang Minwen look different, but the "sister" Xiaoqing, who had been against her and had found evidence of her fornication!

"Cut!" The assistant director stared at the monitor and gave quick and indirect instructions with the counter-feeder.

The next moment, the camera immediately switched from Xiaoqing to Zhang Min, who was already sitting on the side.

I saw her stretch out one leg, revealing a beautiful bare foot, sitting on the floor, with a wooden basin of water and flower petals beside her, pinching her fingers, looking bored.

"It's beautiful!!" The assistant director and others couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Min's appearance in the movie was created by Li Yi himself, and many of the appearance pictures and shapes were also carefully designed by Li Yi, I have to say that Zhang Min's beauty was really brought into full play!

The kind of beauty that belongs to the Chinese classics, both men and women, are fascinated by it!

Under the command of the assistant director, the camera switches again.

I saw Li Yi, who was hiding in the bathtub, poked his head out of the water slightly as if he couldn't hold his breath, and happened to see a painting hanging on the opposite wall, and couldn't help but be stunned, because he could see that the person in the painting was Zhang Min.

"Sister Xiaoqian!"

The actress who played Xiaoqing walked in with two group actors who played maids, and happened to be in a straight line with Li Yi hiding in the bathtub in front of the camera, she said hello to Zhang Min, and Li Yi was afraid of being discovered, so she buried her head in the bathtub again.
