458 Double Yellow Actors
It was afternoon in France when Wei Xun and his entourage arrived at Nice Airport.
The weather in France in May is very good, and the country is ready for a hot summer, but the breeze here is blowing, and the weather is exceptionally refreshing.
After all, in addition to being a famous movie town, Cannes is also a very beautiful holiday destination, where the scenery is warm in winter and cool in summer all year round.
Wei Xun was wearing a simple casual suit, wearing black super sunglasses, and Bai Qianqi walked out of the airport with a backpack on their backs.
Just looking at their outfits, it looks more like they are here for a leisure vacation than to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
"After becoming a star, I want to go abroad for a vacation every year. It's not that it's so nice to be abroad, the people who come and go here are all strangers, they don't know me, I don't know them. I can wander around the streets like a normal person without worrying about the camera sneaking up at any moment or suddenly being surrounded by hordes of fans. β
Bai Qianqi stood outside the airport, stretched out his hand and pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile: "Probably this is where people are not easy to be satisfied? Enjoy the dividends of stars, but don't want to be too disturbed in your private life." β
Wei Xun also smiled when he heard this: "There are gains and losses." β
The two of them stood outside the airport and chatted, and after five or six minutes, Zeng Wei, Huang Qiuheng and others walked out with a team of assistants and large bags of luggage.
Zeng Wei looked at the backpacks on their bodies and said enviously: "You two are leisurely, you don't need to bring anything." β
Participating in the Cannes Film Festival is definitely a good time for domestic star actors to send a press release to hype, and the artist's agency will also take advantage of this time to give the star some endorsements, magazines, catwalks and other activities.
So Zeng Wei and Huang Qiuheng not only came to participate in the film festival, but also came with a bunch of work.
For the next ten days, they had to give interviews, participate in red carpet catwalks, shoot magazines, vlogs, and even live streams to interact with fans, so they brought their team and bags of clothes and cosmetics with them.
And Wei Xun and Bai Qianqi are just here to play, as for dresses or something, just buy them now when the time comes.
So it's no wonder that Zeng Wei and others are envious.
"Just at this time, I'm just going to take a break. Brother Zeng, Brother Chen, you two have jobs, let's go to Cannes first, I just called a car for you. β
Wei Xun took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Lao Bai and I plan to go to Nice City for a walk first, and then drive to Cannes by ourselves." β
There is no airport in the small town of Cannes, the nearest airport to Cannes is Nice Airport in the city of Nice.
Nice is only half an hour's drive from Cannes.
So, under the envious eyes of Zeng Wei and Chen Qiuheng, Bai Qianqi and Wei Xun rented a car and left in style.
But since you're here to attend a film festival, it's definitely impossible to stay on vacation and ignore everything the whole time.
After three days in Nice, Wei Xun and Baek Qianqiu were urged by the organizers to go to Cannes. Because "Infernal Affairs", as a work that entered the main competition unit, will be exhibited and screened at the Cannes Film Venue.
As the protagonists of this year's hottest movie "Infernal Affairs" in China, Wei Xun and Bai Qianqi naturally became the main follow-up objects.
On the afternoon of 5.17, the film "Infernal Affairs" was screened at the venue of the main competition unit in Cannes, and the president of Cannes, Jean Besson, attended, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. β
"The first screening of "Infernal Affairs" at Cannes ended, and the applause was thunderous, and filmmakers from many countries were interested in this film, and it is expected to be released through global channels in the future. β
Wei Xun and Bai Qianqi traveled to Cannes in a chic manner, and the two actors were in a relaxed mood and seemed to have the chance to win the award. β
At the end of the eleventh day of exhibition in Cannes, "Infernal Affairs" was confirmed to enter the final jury, and the award ceremony began on the red carpet at 6 o'clock in the evening at 5.24 local time in France. β
Unlike previous Grammy trips, "Infernal Affairs" was the favorite to win the Cannes Film Festival, and when it was recently exhibited at the venue, it amazed many filmmakers from all over the world.
So when Wei Xun, Bai Qianqi and others walked on the red carpet together at the opening scene of the film festival on May 24, they were immediately captured by media from all over the world.
The Cannes Film Festival is a world-class awards stage, with nearly 1,000 press media on both sides of the red carpet alone, and reporters of all races.
The overwhelming flashing lights were flickering, which not only dazzled the eyes of many people present, but even many netizens who watched the live broadcast in China were a little unbearable.
Because of the time difference, the time in Cannes in France is 6 o'clock in the afternoon, while in China it is almost 1 o'clock in the morning of the next day.
Most of the people have fallen asleep, but there are still a large number of immortal cultivators who stay up late to watch the live broadcast.
"This is the card that an international director with works should have, those stars who go to Cannes on the red carpet, no media knows them after they go, what's the point. β
"It's a little bit, no sleepiness, can I wait for Director Wei to win the award before I die suddenly. β
"I'm too sleepy, but I think I can wait a little longer after Wei Wei came out, and seeing him look so good, I should be having a good time in Cannes these days. β
"Ahhhhh
Compared with domestic film festivals, Cannes is indeed more high-standard, whether it is a red carpet show or an award ceremony, it is more luxurious and atmospheric.
But a film festival is a film festival after all, in fact, it is all the same boring. Not to mention that the people sitting at the award ceremony are all star actors from all over the world, many of whom everyone doesn't know.
As the award ceremony reached the second half, the domestic time gradually reached more than four o'clock in the morning.
"Damn, it hasn't come out yet, brothers, I can't hold it anymore. β
"Right away, I was so nervous. β
"Best Actor!Best Actor!Please, Please, Please, Must Be the Best Actor, Okay!"
At four o'clock in the morning, those who had not slept or had woken up were all guarding the live broadcast room on the Internet waiting for the results.
Many domestic media people are already on standby.
At the awards ceremony, the last Cannes actor, actor Christoph Waltz from Austria, opened the award card with a smile, and under the gaze of many people in the audience, he first said in surprise 'Wow', and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to Wei Xun from China." β
The audience applauded thunderously.
Wei Xun stood up with a smile.
Bai Qianqi also got up, hugged Wei Xun with a smile, and then said, "Congratulations, go up quickly......"
βand......β
However, Ristofer Waltz on the stage squeezed his eyes and continued: "Also, congratulations to Bai Qianqi from Huaxia. β
This time, the entire award venue was in an uproar, and then there was even more overwhelming applause.
It turned out to be a double yellow actor!
Even Bai Qianqi himself was stunned.
