Cannes is located in Nice in the south of France, and you can fly directly to Nice airport, and then transfer to a car for 40 minutes to Cannes.

The best time to visit Cannes is from June to October, and the festival starts in mid-May, so when the festival is over, those who come to the festival can have a good time in Cannes.

It can be said that the festival contributes a lot to the tourism economy of Cannes.

Chen Shi and others finally gathered at the airport, and the entire crew had more than a dozen people coming, of course, most of them were actors and directors, etc., and the rest of the staff had neither time nor thought about participating in the film festival.

In addition to the two directors Chen Shi and Li Yalian, the photographers and others did not participate, and only Xiao Gao came as a producer.

As soon as everyone got together, Li Yalian naturally chatted with Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Jingchu, while several other actors greeted Chen Shi, among which Chen Shi was most impressed by not the starring role, but the guest Deng Chao, because this actor was so famous in later generations that Chen Shi had to pay more attention to him, although he is only a professional emperor actor now, but this cannot hide his acting talent and his unique funny temperament.

After everyone chatted for a while, the plane was about to take off, so hurry up and get on the plane, Xiao Gao arranged everything, including the translators needed in Cannes, so Chen Shi didn't need to worry about anything, he just greeted these actors, saw if they were adaptable, and asked them if they had any needs.

These actors are not the little fresh meat of the later generations, although they are all small fresh meat now, but compared to the little fresh meat of the later generations, they are more like a person, not a star, they don't have any star shelves now, everyone has not become famous, although they are all very potential, they are all very talented in acting, but before a person becomes famous, there is no one to stand up.

Therefore, everyone was very polite, most of them were going abroad for the first time, so if there was anything they didn't understand, they all came to ask, of course, Chen Shi himself didn't understand, so he had to shirk it, so he had to wait until Cannes to ask the interpreter.

At this time, he prayed in his heart, hoping that the translator Xiao Gao was looking for had better be honest, don't do the work of translation, but in turn pit the customer, then things will be bad, they don't understand French, Shenzhen can't even understand English, if you are fooled by the translator, then wouldn't it be a joke to say it?

Speaking of foreign languages, Chen Shi couldn't help but think of Deng Chao's logging fatigue on running men, this is a big laugh, at that time Chen Shi didn't know how many times he bent his waist with laughter, and he still remembered that Li Yalian even laughed until his stomach hurt.

There is nothing to say on the plane, the plane is quiet, even if you want to speak, you can't say it out loud, Li Yalian is by Chen Shi's side, and the two of them don't have any confidential things, although Qingqing and I, but it is not too much, after the plane took off, Li Yalian fell asleep, Chen Shi felt bored, and fell asleep unconsciously, as for the scenery outside, no one would be in the mood to see, and he didn't know what was the difference between the foreign sky and the domestic one?

The weather in Cannes is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the maximum temperature rarely exceeds 30 degrees Celsius throughout the summer, according to statistics from 1961 to 1990, the average temperature is only 23 degrees Celsius.

There is the sea, the beach, the sun, the beautiful women, the exotic atmosphere, the big stars, and of course, it attracts a lot of tourists, especially during the film festival.

Of course, films are shown during the festival, and if it is a good film, it is difficult to find a ticket here, because most of the films that come here are premieres, and even if they are not premieres, they are new films that have just been released.

Cannes is an art film festival, and it is a world-class film festival, so it attracts a lot of art film lovers, and at this time of year, there are always many art film lovers who come from far and wide to see the works of these masters.

Cannes, of course, is a place where masters come out, and most of the directors who win awards here are masters, not to mention anything else, just talking about China, how many directors can win the Cannes Film Awards? You can count them with your fingers, just one or two.

As soon as they woke up, the flight attendant told Chen Shi and the others that they were almost there, and now they were already abroad, in the airspace of a foreign country.

Looking from the window, the sky is so blue, the white clouds are floating around, like a fairyland on earth, although the unique sound of the plane is a little uncomfortable, but it is not too uncomfortable, it is still acceptable.

Ten minutes later, they landed and walked out of the airport, and then the interpreter was waiting outside the airport, after Xiao Gao contacted him, the interpreter met and greeted everyone, Chen Shi looked at it, the other party was a yellow person, a question, it was actually Chinese, it really made everyone excited, if you can meet a Chinese abroad, then of course it is a fellow countryman.

The so-called fellow sees the fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes, although it is not so exaggerated, but it is of course very happy to see a person with the same yellow skin, black eyes, and the same Mandarin as himself.

Therefore, the people became familiar with the translator. So, the translator introduced the tourist attractions of Cannes to everyone, he said: "In Cannes, you must go to several places, I will tell you one by one to live, see how you choose, the first is of course the Miramar space, this is a high-quality cultural station, there are film exhibitions, there are photo exhibitions, there are five or six exhibitions held every year, most of them are visual arts, therefore, you must go to see." ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded and asked about other attractions.

The translator said: "The second is the exhibition hall of the seaside boulevard, there are three large-scale exhibitions a year, there are many well-known masterpieces, this is an art museum, in addition to the art museum, of course, the most attractive thing about the whole seaside boulevard is the beach bay, where there are hotels, ancient buildings of the last century, there are also modern high-rise buildings, not only the air is good, the environment is also very beautiful, you had better live there." ”

As the crowd listened, he continued: "There is also St. Margaret's Island, which is the legendary place where the veneer people are held, there are many archaeological caves, as well as the Royal Fortress, the Maritime Museum, etc. ”

At this time, everyone couldn't help but ask, what is the Man in the Iron Mask?

The translator smiled and said, "The Man in the Iron Mask is the prototype of Alexandre Dumas's novel The Man in the Iron Mask. On July 14, 1789, angry Parisians rushed to the Bastille in the thousands, shouting for the destruction of the Bastille, and at the entrance to the prison, they found a line that read: Prisoner number 64389000, the Man in the Iron Mask, but who the Man in the Iron Mask is is impossible to verify, and his identity is a mystery. The earliest mention of the Man in the Iron Mask is that of the great thinker philosopher Voltaire, who wrote in his "The Age of Louis XIV" that in 1611 a special guest came, he wore an iron mask, and during his captivity he was still to remove the mask, and in 1730 the man died suddenly, and as he died, his identity became a mystery. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that no one knew who this man in the iron mask was, and the reason why he was so mysterious was of course because of his identity, and perhaps it was precisely because of his mystery that it aroused the curiosity of countless people and wanted to find out.

It's just that no one can verify who this mysterious man in the iron mask really is.

The translator introduced everyone again, saying: "The last attraction is of course the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, which is the main venue of the Cannes Film Festival and the place where you haunt, and you will know when the time comes." ”

After briefly talking about the scenic spots, someone asked him to introduce some food, and when he came abroad, it would be a pity if he didn't eat a little local specialty food. Not to mention abroad, even if you go out in China, you will find some local products to bring back locally, so as to prove that you have been here, or show off in front of friends.

Of course, the tastes of foreigners are very different from those of China, and their tastes have always been heavier, so they say Cannes, and the translator said: "Their dishes like to add thyme, rosemary, sherb, oregano, white garlic, olive oil, etc., and the most famous dishes in Cannes are patch eggs, salted and dried cod and fish puree, and stewed assortment." ”

He said a lot, but Chen Shi had never heard most of them, and of course he wouldn't have eaten them, and I didn't have any hope for foreigners' catering, so he asked in a low voice, "Is there any Chinese food?"

The translator smiled and said: "Chinese food is available, but if you go to eat it, you will definitely regret it, because foreign Chinese food is not authentic, and you must not be used to eating it." ”

Chen Shi has never been a picky eater, so he thinks that as long as it is Chinese food, it will not be so unpalatable?

Of course, Chen Shi didn't make his own opinion, he first asked the people, do they want to eat Chinese food or Western food? Everyone said to eat Chinese food first, first see how the Chinese food is abroad, if not, then eat Western food, anyway, it will take a long time, it will take several days, so there is no need to worry.

So, led by the interpreter, they first went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

When the interpreter heard their decision, his face was a little bad and he wanted to stop it, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to take everyone to the restaurant.

The Chinese restaurant is coming soon, the decoration is very good, it looks generous, clean and tidy, compared to the domestic street restaurants, the sanitary conditions here are absolutely first-class, therefore, everyone's first feeling is very good, very comfortable, they are more curious about the dishes in the restaurant, more expectation.

They ordered a few dishes casually, most of them were home-cooked dishes, of course, there were also specialty dishes here, and after a while, all the dishes came up, compared with the domestic ones, it was indeed not the same, but at this time everyone was hungry, therefore, they didn't care so much, and everyone began to move their chopsticks.

It's just that as soon as I ate it, the taste was not right, not that it was bad, but there was an indescribable awkwardness, and I always felt that I was not in the middle, and the West was not in the West, anyway, it was completely different from the Chinese food in China.

Everyone is eating, you look at me, I look at yours, everyone has found this problem, although it is not so bad that it cannot be eaten, but it is difficult to eat this kind of unsuitable taste, and it is difficult for people to agree with this difference in style.

This is Chinese food for foreigners, not for Chinese, this is Chinese food for foreigners, of course, they have to make it according to their tastes and customs, so that the taste is greatly reduced, the essence of Chinese food is completely lost, and there is no such thing as the heat and so on mentioned in Chinese food.

Chinese food is broad and profound, very cultural and connotative, and foreigners can't learn it if they want to.
