Chapter 119: Nomination for Cannes

Since it's a game, there are wins and losses, and then there's a fixed sensational time, watching the eliminated people leave one by one, this is life.

From one hundred auditions to thirty now, only eight can be left in the end......

It's just a reality show, even if you become the final winner, it's just another kind of departure, who can guarantee that the new work will be successful?

"Now we are going to enter the final stage of the assessment......"

"Stage show!"

He Jiong took out the script and announced: "You will cooperate with professional stage actors to really face the visitors, and even have zero contact with them, which is a severe test for everyone." ”

Ding Cheng suddenly felt that his mobile phone vibrate, and when he saw that it was Guan Hu, he hung up first and found an opportunity to come out and call back.

"To France?"

"Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film?"

Ding Cheng listened with some surprise, and Guan Hu on the other end of the phone laughed and said: "I have long said that the bullfight is to win the award, and you kid only believe it now?"

Ding Cheng smiled, I really didn't expect the director's action to be so fast, and he could really be shortlisted for the international film festival?

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go to the opening ceremony together in three days, bring a few good suits, and maybe walk the red carpet ......"

Hanging up the phone a few minutes later, Ding Cheng thought about it, dialed Sister Hua's mobile phone, and said helplessly: "I originally wanted to wait for the show to finish recording......"

"What's the hesitation for such a trivial matter?" Sister Hua could feel her excitement through her mobile phone: "That's the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Put down all the work, and I'll arrange the best team to accompany you right away, by the way, and the costumes......"

"Hurry up and let Su Yao communicate the itinerary ......"

"Forget it, I'll do it myself!"

Hung up the phone directly, Ding Cheng shook his head, no wonder Sister Hua was excited, after all, it is the four major international film festivals, not to mention the real award, being shortlisted is a recognition in itself.

Don't look at the domestic box office getting higher and higher, in fact, Chinese movies have little influence in the world, except for kung fu films, others can be described as lackluster.

What's more, even kung fu movies are not available now, everyone who can play is seventy or eighty, and even Indian movies are blooming, so ......

I was also very excited in my heart, after all, it was the first time to get heavyweight affirmation, and it was even the first time to go abroad to Europe, Ding Cheng suppressed his excitement, returned to the recording site, and finished the work first.

Before leaving, he called the three newcomers, briefly explained the situation, and instructed: "If there is a problem, let's contact WeChat, and you must go the rest by yourself." ”

got in the car and went back to the company, watching Sister Hua all kinds of busyness, all kinds of big-name new models were taken out, and they began to bombard indiscriminately.

"Sister, it's almost enough!" After more than two hours, Ding Chengcheng couldn't hold it anymore and complained: "Isn't it just a red carpet?"

Lying directly on the sofa, he struck and said: "People reporters are staring at Hollywood superstars, who knows me!"

"That's not okay!" Sister Hua picked up the two suits in her hand and said domineeringly: "It's their business whether people shoot or not, we must not be ashamed when we go out!"

"Is it easy to be shortlisted for an international film festival?"

"Is it your first time going abroad?"

"Do you need attention?"

Ding Cheng hurriedly surrendered, instead of listening to her nagging, it was better to try on clothes. Finally, three sets were selected, one for the red carpet, one for the awards ceremony, and one for the last set in case there was a ball......

Finally got the costume, Sister Hua kept contacting the Propaganda Department, asking to spread the news as soon as possible and let all the water armies move, although they haven't gone yet, the heat must be fried in advance.

Leaning on the sofa after being busy, he looked at Ding Cheng's somewhat casual appearance, and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think it's easy to be shortlisted for Cannes once?"

"The film has been developing in China for so many years, and there are only a handful of awards, such as Farewell My Concubine is the only work that has won the Palme d'Or. ”

"Uncle Ge is the first Cannes actor to live by, Wong Kar-wai has won the best director once for his fantasia, and Tony Leung is so awesome that he has only won the actor once. ”

"Then Maggie Cheung only had to be the queen of the movie once, and Lao Mouzi was shortlisted several times and returned empty-handed, are you still not satisfied?"

Ding Cheng hurriedly behaved very seriously and said seriously: "Isn't this that he hasn't won the award yet?"

"There are only more than 20 films in the main competition unit, although the Best Foreign Language Film Award is not heavy, but it is also an honor for a top film festival. ”

Sister Hua took a sip of tea and said with satisfaction: "Don't say being officially invited, how many celebrities do you know who are working hard to rub the red carpet and can't wait to lie on it and not leave?"

"For example, last year, none of the Chinese films were shortlisted for any awards, so it stands to reason that no one should pay attention, right?"

As a result, I can't wait for the first-line actresses to pour out of the nest, counting the actual appearance and the original plan to participate but did not succeed, almost eighteen faces flocked to the Cannes red carpet, including many international celebrities like Gong Li. ”

Although no film was shortlisted, the official Cannes was also considered to be face-saving, and Empress Gong has long been famous in the international film industry, and the live broadcast is given to a full two-minute shot, with close-ups and close-ups, and her style is not inferior to Julian Moore, the queen of the International Film Festival Grand Slam who appeared on the red carpet with her. ”

"There is also Xiaoice Bingbing, who has walked the red carpet many times, this time it is finally no longer nobody, and the official also gave the shot, although the length cannot be compared with Gong Huang, but there is a big close-up. ”

"They didn't bring the film, but what they were holding was an official invitation from the brand sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, which was second only to the opening film and the invitation letter from the jury members, and to put it bluntly, it was a high-level ticket issued by official channels. ”

"When the officially invited celebrities officially walk the red carpet, they all enjoy the clearance treatment, and the security will stop others and give the official stars independent photo time. ”

"So it's very simple to see if it's on the red carpet, if the background of the red carpet is clean, there are only stars or crews, which is basically an official invitation. ”

"As long as the background in the photo is messed up, or other people in twos and threes, then you can think for yourself. ”

Ding Cheng sighed, don't look at all kinds of coaxing domestic stars, but if you really want to go abroad, there are very few photographers who can remember.

"Bingbing complained to me when she came back, saying that she was wearing more than ten centimeters of high heels, and she stood for more than half an hour before it was her turn, and her feet were about to break!"

"Although Gong Li went late, she was directly in front of Bingbing, there was no way, this is the gap. ”

"It's good to be able to go in, I heard that Jing Bao and Ma Sichun don't know why they didn't even enter the door, do you say it's unlucky?"

Sometimes it's also cool to listen to Sister Hua talk about gossip, and many of her peers are very different from what she imagined in her mouth, and they are also drunk.

As long as you are a star, you can't miss any opportunity to stand under the spotlight. The highest level is to rely on works and acting skills, almost rely on personal connections, and if you are not good, you have to have money to smash it, and you will smash it out of exposure.

Since it is to promote his work, no matter how hard it is, he is willing, after all, it is his first work recognized by the international film festival, Ding Cheng seems to be relaxed, but he is actually very nervous.

Before leaving the company, Sister Hua patted her shoulder and comforted: "What are you afraid of when you are still young? Tony Leung is also in his thirties, take it easy, just travel and have fun." ”
