Chapter 319: Cannes International Film Festival III

In the early morning, the sky outside the Martinez Hotel bloomed a clear blue, the crowds on the edge of the city had already surged, the red carpet had already been laid outside the Cannes Film Festival venue, the press area on both sides of the red carpet had long been empty, and the red carpet show that had begun in the early morning, the little stars outside the 18th line had stepped on the red silk towards the venue.

In the following years, when capital outside the circle entered the entertainment industry in a big way, the little stars and Internet celebrities in China had enough money to support, and the behavior of spending money to rub the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival was frequently reported, while overseas travel agencies and beauty pageants would sell invitations at a price ranging from thousands of euros to tens of thousands of euros.

Of course, there are some risks in buying these invitations, there have been several very popular celebrities, who bought red carpet invitations and finally failed to walk on the red carpet, facing hundreds of reporters on the scene, the scene is not an ordinary embarrassment.

Ling Yanran is definitely a heavyweight star, she is not only a star but also a super-rich woman in the top ten on the Forbes rich list, no matter how well-known she is in European and American countries, the organizing committee cannot treat her as an ordinary star, so her admission time is scheduled for half an hour before the opening ceremony, which is the moment of great attention.

Since the red carpet show of the film festival began at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, Ling Yanran did not sleep peacefully this night, as bright as today, she was still nestled in bed and never got up.

Li Qingyuan looked at the red carpet scene not far from the balcony, where there were already people and cars, and the flashing lights were flickering, he lost interest after watching it for a while, and turned back to the room, the thin sheets could not hide Ling Yanran's charming body, and he couldn't help but jump on the head of the bed again, and after a while, there was a blushing gasp in the room......

Jiang Yan attached great importance to Ling Yanran's participation in the Cannes Film Festival, and she asked Zhu Jingya from the distribution department to bring a whole group of publicity teams, from stylists to makeup artists to photographers and public relations.

When Ling Yanran pinched Li Qingyuan's waist and got up from the bed to take a shower, it was already three poles in the morning, and this breakfast was saved for the hotel.

After having dinner in advance, she went back to her room to change into a azure Han-style dress designed by Li Yunyang, and the stylist and makeup artist were just about to do something for her, but she stopped them. In her thoughts, this is not filming, there is no need to fiddle with her face, just show herself refreshingly, sometimes beauty is not a complicated superposition but a true outpouring, Ling Yanran tied a simple ponytail hair bunch, and placed a red flower-shaped hairpin at the ligature, with a cerulean dress all over her body, it can be said that the green leaves are a little red from it, just such a concise and clear shape makes the stylist hide his face and feel ashamed.

After fiddling for a while, the organizer came to inform the audience, Ling Yanran got up and smiled, turned around at Li Qingyuan, and said, "I'm going to the battlefield, you cheer me in the rear!"

Li Qingyuan hugged her waist, pouted and tapped her red lips, and said, "You don't even wear makeup, your firepower is definitely insufficient, don't lose the battle!"

"Then you can wait on the scene to attract some firepower for me!" With many people present, Ling Yanran blushed, pushed him away, turned around and ran out of the room, leaving behind a string of "jingle" laughter.

In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Ling Yanran joined Ridley, who had been waiting for a long time, and sat on the Rolls-Royce Phantom arranged by the organizer and took advantage of the car to go to the venue.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the end of the red carpet, and the greeting concierge opened the door of the car and leaned on the top edge of the door with one hand to pick up Ling Yanran.

In front of the car door, Ling Yanran had an intoxicating smile on her face

, the white face of jade glowed with charming brilliance, gently grabbed Ridley's arm, and the two stepped forward on the red carpet.

Ridley is a world-class director and the greatest director in Britain, and now journalists are raising their cameras, and the flash is lit up like stars in the sky.

For many foreign journalists, Ling Yanran is a strange existence, but it is this strangeness that makes all the reporters on the scene set their eyes on her, who is this a stunning beauty like the goddess Naese in Greek mythology? The reporters on the scene began to inquire about the news from their counterparts left and right, and the Chinese reporters from Huaxia, who were not popular, became fragrant buns at this time, and at the same time, they were also despised by their counterparts from Huaxia.

"You don't know this person, it's really blind to do this job as a reporter!" said a Chinese reporter.

"I don't even know Ling Yanran, the world's richest woman ranked tenth on the Forbes list, so go home and pick up your children as soon as possible. Another Chinese reporter chimed in.

"What, she's Ling Yanran, the world's second-richest woman, and how did she show up at the Cannes Film Festival?" asked a foreign journalist.

"It's really a bun, Ling Yanran is not only a rich woman but also a Chinese music diva, she came with the new movie "Mulan" this time, understand!" The foreign reporter was fiercely despised by his Huaxia counterparts.

"Wow, this is really big news, it's the first time I've met the world's top 10 richest people turned out to be a star! And a star who is even more beautiful than the goddess Nicole in my mind!" the reporter set up his camera and pressed the shutter frantically.

The red carpet of the film festival is only 60 meters short, and according to the normal travel speed, it will only take a minute at most to reach the end, Ling Yanran just kept smiling, occasionally waving to the fans who shouted her name outside the venue, she didn't need to use the gimmick of walking the red carpet to gain fame.

When she stepped on the steps outside the venue, the cries outside the venue came like a tide, Ling Yanran withdrew her left hand holding Ridley, stopped in the middle of the steps, and slowly turned around, a breeze blew through the azure gauze skirt, making her like a fairy floating down from the sky, waving a fist with one arm, and the audience was silent in an instant, and all the focus was on her, at this time, she was only heard to spit out quietly: "Thank you for your support! I hope you will pay attention to the movie "Mulan"!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a boiling outside the venue, and the cheers suddenly broke through the sky.

Ling Yanran retracted her arm with a bow, turned around and took Ridley's arm again and walked to the interview area.

"Miss Ling, you may be the most valuable star of the Cannes Film Festival since its inception, what do you think?" the host asked as he handed the microphone to her.

"Money doesn't bring me honor, I just want to leave something in the film and bring something to people. ”

"Although Cannes does not advocate commercial films, films are inseparable from business, and Miss Ling has a deep net worth and hopes that you will support art films more. ”

""Mulan" is such a movie, I hope you can like it!" Ling Yanran wasted no time in advertising.

"Although I'm sorry I haven't seen this movie, I will go back to watch it at this film festival, maybe I will find something different!" The host gave Ling Yanran an apologetic look, turned his gaze to Ridley, and asked: "Director Ridley, this is the first time you have filmed a movie with Chinese characteristics, do you have any thoughts?"

"'Mulan' is a well-known story in China, and making this film has given me a deeper understanding of the history of China. We know too little about them and misunderstand too much, and we hope that through such a movie, people in Europe and the United States can understand China and enter China, which is a country with 5,000 years of uninterrupted cultural inheritance, and there are too many things for us to learn. ”

"It seems that director Ridley likes Chinese culture very much, and I am looking forward to you bringing us a different "Mulan". Although the host was flattering, his face showed disapproval.

The host's face fell neatly in Ling Yanran's eyes, and she pulled the hem of Ridley's clothes without a trace, and let the host walk into the venue.

Li Qingyuan and everyone in the propaganda team stood on the balcony and watched Ling Yanran finish the red carpet, and they were very satisfied with her shocking the audience at the end, this is the performance she should have, but just let go of an opportunity to enhance her popularity, he would not be reconciled, turned his head to Zhu Jingya and said: "Mr. Zhu went to tell those reporters that as long as they report the positive news of Yanran, I will pay them one million dollars each." ”

"Okay boss!" Zhu Jingya pouted, she was here to make money for Ling Yanran, but she didn't expect that the richest man didn't make any money, so he began to spend money to buy notices, there were so many reporters on the scene, how much did it cost!

was swept away by the host's attitude, and after attending the opening ceremony, Ling Yanran avoided the opening ceremony reception and returned to the hotel.

"What's the matter, look at your sullen appearance, don't you have a lot of aura when you walk the red carpet?" asked Li Qingyuan, hugging her against the fence of the balcony.

"That host seems to be very disdainful of our work, damn Frenchman!" Ling Yanran writhed in his arms to find a comfortable seat, and then burst into a foul language.

"The arrogant Gallic rooster is like this, don't take this to heart, let's just fight back with box office results, it's not worth it to be angry with your body. Li Qingyuan comforted him with kind words.

"Hmph! I will never participate in foreign film festivals again, what's the big deal!"

"It's not a big deal, this group of French people have been robbed of Hollywood's own film market, and they can only live on the fig leaf of literary films, but fortunately their cultures are similar, otherwise the cultural invasion is not a joke. In fact, in the final analysis, it is to maintain the Chinese cultural characteristics of Helium Star Film and Television, and now that China's economy has slowly caught up, it is time to export Chinese culture. In the future, not only can you not refuse to participate in film festivals in European and American countries, but you must actively participate in them and make a contribution to the export of Chinese culture!"

"Pull it down, I'm just an actor, and it's the director and the screenwriter who can really make a good movie. A few days ago, I saw a low-budget movie "Thief Among Thieves" shot by Ning Hao, a young director under Helium Star Film and Television, in Sister Jiang, but I was so happy, this Ning Hao is so talented, Qingyuan, you can train him more, and he will definitely become the top director in China in the future. ”

Li Qingyuan thought that he paid a lot of attention to Ning Hao, but he had never heard him make such a movie, which made him interested and asked: "Tell me the general content of my daughter-in-law!"

"It's a good movie, you have to watch it yourself, it's not interesting to spoil it in advance, I can only say that this is a black comedy that revolves around a piece of jade. ”
