Chapter 178: Cannes Film Festival
Thank you for the commuter pass of the heart air battle, thank you for your support.
——————
As one of the most watched events in the fan circle, the Cannes Film Festival has developed into the world's largest, most well-known and most influential international film festival in recent years.
On the one hand, the Cannes Film Festival's shortlisted films every year maintain a consistent selection standard, with artistic merit as the only criterion for judging films.
On the other hand, the Festival de Cannes offers an opportunity for many budding directors to shine.
Like Quentin and other world-renowned directors in the film industry, they all started from Cannes and became famous internationally.
Of course, the reason why Cannes is becoming more and more sought after by big directors and stars is largely due to its influence and the formation of a huge film market, attracting the attention of filmmakers from all over the world.
Pierre Riesian, the 'Citizen of World Cinema', once said: "The most important film festival in the world has always been the Cannes Film Festival, and it is far ahead." It can be said that a Cannes film festival is more important than the weight of all the film festivals in the world combined..."
The producer sells the film, and the distributor buys the film. These eventually formed a market in Cannes with a turnover of around billions of dollars.
This figure is also the highest among all kinds of film festivals and film exhibitions in the world. So much so that there is a saying that 70% of the world's film transactions are carried out in Cannes, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that the film market in Cannes is already a very large market.
In recent years, Cannes has also attracted more and more attention from Huaxia Capital.
The bigwigs in the circle who hold capital from all walks of life are also a beautiful landscape active in Cannes.
Among them, there are those who bought film copyrights, those who cooperated to set up film funds, and those who participated in the screening and sale of films, and the liveliness of the transaction can be seen, after all, not every company has a non-human existence like Chen Yongren like Longteng Media Group.
With the blessing of so many financiers, and a large number of stars go to the Cannes Film Festival every year, it is difficult not to be noticed by domestic fans.
The power of business and capital has now invaded every corner of the film industry, and the Cannes Film Festival is not immune.
Every year, the Festival de Cannes has a lot of sponsorship, and of course these sponsors can invite their own spokespeople to walk the red carpet.
Therefore, the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival can be described as a gathering of demons and monsters from all walks of life, and the phenomenon of rubbing the red carpet is also the most serious among all film festivals, with a lot of moisture.
It's just that the official live broadcast of the film festival and the footage of reporters basically don't stay on these people.
However, it doesn't matter to them that the festival officials don't give them the camera, they can hire their own photographers, and then take footage of themselves walking the red carpet in Cannes and send them to their own countries to raise their style.
After all, in the eyes of the public who don't know the details, being able to walk on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival is a symbol of status and style.
For example, the famous carpet star Fan Bingbing did this, and this year, Fan Bingbing has also been preparing for a long time, and the haute couture dress appeared on the Cannes red carpet, showing the queen's style.
When Fan Bingbing walked the red carpet, she looked around and didn't see Chen Yongren, which made her feel very regretful.
Not only her, but also many unknown little stars and blanket stars, the most popular thing they want to rub is Chen Yongren's popularity, after all, Chen Yongren makes headlines all day long when he has nothing to do, and some fans even jokingly call him 'Ren'.
In the case of a very strong business atmosphere in Cannes, especially after a large number of Chinese financiers entered, they launched various theme night activities, and finally came out directly for a Chinese night.
As a result, every Cannes Film Festival will have a dinner such as China Night.
The Chinese Night in Cannes is known as the most international party in the Chinese film industry, and the Chinese Night does bring together some 'high-end figures' in the circle.
And it is no secret that Chen Yongren is sure to attend this year's Cannes Film Festival, so the organizers of the Chinese Night also wanted to invite Chen Yongren to come over to the dinner, but Chen Yongren directly refused.
Although the people of this Chinese night are some 'high-end figures' in the Chinese entertainment industry, Chen Yongren is the top figure in the world film pyramid, so Chen Yongren has no time to participate in this kind of boring dinner.
The initiator of Huaxia Night wanted to invite Chen Yongren over to improve the quality of this dinner, but people didn't have time to come.
In fact, the gold content of this Chinese night is not high, take a walk around at will, and the stack of business cards you receive are all various producers and producers.
There are many little stars, in order to increase exposure, they will ask for a ticket through various channels at any cost, after all, it is much easier to get a ticket for the Chinese night than on the red carpet.
But no matter what, this is also abroad, so everyone is hugging each other to keep warm, and some Chinese big-name stars, attending the Cannes Film Festival, will also participate in this dinner, which is also the focus of attention of domestic fans at this dinner.
However, everyone didn't see Chen Yongren on the red carpet, and they didn't see him on the Chinese night, so there are some doubts about whether Chen Yongren will really attend the Cannes Film Festival.
However, this question was answered on May 27.
On May 27, 2012, at 18:50 local time, the 12-day Cannes Film Festival at the Palais du Cinémath came to an end.
Countless fans and journalists gathered here again, but the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was much smaller than the grand opening ceremony.
Compared with the opening, there are many fewer actresses at the closing, and there are only a few actresses who are shortlisted with their works.
But even so, female celebrities who are dressed up in attendance are inevitably photographed and sent to their respective countries' websites.
Without the blanket star, many people who love movies will feel that this is the right way to open Cannes.
At the end of the closing red carpet, Chen Yongren was still not seen, which disappointed countless media reporters.
After the closing red carpet session, everyone's eyes were also focused on the subsequent awards ceremony.
When the award ceremony was about to start, Chen Yongren also hurried to arrive, and countless media reporters, the moment they saw Chen Yongren, raised their cameras and took pictures frantically.
But before they could go up to ask questions, Chen Yongren entered under the leadership of the staff.
Originally, he was arranged to sit with the bigwigs, but he asked to sit with the crew members, so under the leadership of the staff, Chen Yongren also went to the crew of "Gravity" to take a seat.
The Lumière Hall of the Palais du Cinémathèque and soon the awards ceremony of the 65th Festival de Cannes will officially begin.
First of all, the jury came to the stage and appeared to thank you, and then after the host made a wave of introductions and ridicule, the award ceremony began.
