At 7 p.m. on May 20, the main venue of the film festival, in front of the Cinema Palace, was bustling. The entrance to the red carpet was filled with enthusiastic fans, and on both sides of the red carpet were a flock of journalists.

The Palais du Cinémathèque has four halls, the largest of which is divided into two floors, where the opening and closing ceremonies are held, called the Lumière Hall. In general, films in the main competition are screened in the Lumière Room, and films in the Attention section are screened in the Debussy Room. At 10 p.m., the Bazin Hall will show the second main competition film of the day, mainly for journalists who can't get tickets, and the Buñuel Room will focus on the Cannes classics, and Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides" was screened in the Bazin Room last night.

However, tonight the Lumière Room belongs to "Time and Space Warriors", the films in the main competition unit were driven to the Debussy Hall, and the films of the attention unit were put in the Bazin Hall, and the premieres of blockbusters like "Time and Space Soldiers" with the participation of top Hollywood superstars were held in the Lumière Hall.

Although Cannes is known as the temple of art films, it is actually the most commercial of the three major film festivals, and it is also the tightest hugging Hollywood's thighs. Without Hollywood superstars, the impact of the festival will become less and less, and this is the reason why the Venice Film Festival was gradually overtaken by Toronto. Cannes understands this and is the first of the three major film festivals.

After the red carpet officially began, there were many crews and stars who came to cheer, and of course, there were many little stars who came to rub the red carpet.

It is not surprising that Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro, who led the crew of "Ambush on All Sides", appeared on the red carpet, they are all their own people, and it is normal to come to cheer. However, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro are both handsome, which has caused female reporters in East Asia to scream like nymphomaniacs, while Park Chan-wook and Choi Min-sik are relatively deserted when they appear on the red carpet, and many reporters from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan do not know them, except for Korean reporters.

When Galliano appeared on the red carpet, the jaws of European and American journalists almost dropped. Galliano is a god-level figure in the fashion circle, and he has never been in the habit of attending the red carpet. It's really surprising to suddenly appear on the red carpet of "Time Warriors" now.

Now the combination of the domestic film and television industry and the fashion circle is not close enough, no one in the domestic stars goes to the fashion week to watch the show, and the entertainment reporters don't know much about the fashion circle, and basically don't know Galliano.

At this moment, they were all very curious when they heard European and American reporters marveling at the long-haired man with a mustache in front of them. Who is this man?

A reporter whispered to a foreign counterpart next to him: "What does this gentleman do?"

"He's Galliano, the artistic director of Dior, it's incredible, I didn't expect him to show up. ”

"How could someone with such an artistic taste like him like Keanu Reeves' movies?" said a reporter next to him.

"yes, that's weird!"

Just then, someone shouted, "Oops, Theron is here, Snap!"

The reporters were excited when they saw Theron, and pressed the shutter frantically, and a burst of intense white light broke out at the scene, as if the sun had exploded.

Theron is here to support Reeves, she has a good relationship with Reeves, and in order to play "Sweet November" with Reeves, she did not hesitate to push off "Pearl Harbor". Today she wore a sky-blue Dior haute couture gown, which perfectly outlined her lines and looked sexy and charming. She stood on the red carpet and posed for a few poses, and after murdering a bunch of films, Shi Shiran walked into the movie palace.

Next, Quentin led the jury members on the red carpet to once again thrill fans and reporters, with deafening cheers and flashing lights. Quentin is undoubtedly the most popular among Western journalists and movie fans, but the most popular among domestic and RTHK journalists is Tsui Hark, who is one of the judges in the main competition.

Of course, the high tide of the red carpet is the appearance of the crew of "Time and Space Warriors"; Keanu Reeves, Adrien Brody, and Liang Jiahui are wearing black suits and bow ties, handsome and compelling; Luc Besson is not a handsome guy, but his fame is there, and he pays no less attention than anyone else; and Zhang Ziyi in the middle is wearing a pale green dress, although she is not sexy enough, and she has no later aura, but it is fresh and looks very cute.

The fans at the scene were like crazy, and there were hysterical cheers and shouts everywhere. The shutter of the cameras in the hands of the reporters was pressed even more quickly and frantically, and the "click" sound was like locusts frantically eating the crops.

Reeves and they all kept a charming smile and walked slowly, waving lightly to each side from time to time. When they waved, fans would always scream and cheer in unison, looking so excited.

In fact, Reeves and their hearts are a little uneasy, and they all know about the movie copy. Zhang Ran has not appeared until now, indicating that the copy has not been made yet, and they are all worried about whether the premiere of the movie can be carried out smoothly.

The media in Europe and the United States have focused their attention on stars like Reeves and have not found anything unusual, but the media in East Asia, especially the domestic media, have noticed that something is wrong.

Zhang Ran did not appear on the red carpet.

The entire crew appeared, but Zhang Ran, the director, did not appear, which is not normal.

The reporters whispered: "Do you have any news? Where is Zhang Ranren, and how did he walk the red carpet?"

"I don't know, is there something going back to China?"

"No, I met Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu on the beach in the morning, and they said they would be on the red carpet. But now that no one has seen it, it's really weird!"

"yes, what the hell is going on?"

At this moment, Jacobzhen, the chairman of the festival, walked anxiously around the press center, like an ant on a hot pan, fidgeting. The red carpet is coming to an end, and the copy of the movie hasn't been solved yet!

Zhang Jingchu sat on the chair and waited quietly. She changed her dress, put on makeup at the Dior beauty salon, and did not stay with the crew, but came to the press center to wait for Zhang Ran.

Nearly ten minutes passed, and the closed door finally opened, and Jacob immediately greeted him: "How is it, is it done?"

Zhang Ran handed a somewhat hot hard drive to Jacob: "It's done, this is a copy!"

Jacob drew a cross on his chest and handed the copy to his staff: "Take it, get ready for the screening!" Then he turned to Zhang Ran and said, "Thank you, you saved the reputation of Cannes!"

For the festival, the postponement of a film in competition is nothing, and it is not the first time. But a blockbuster like "Time and Space Warrior" can't have a problem coming to Cannes, and if something goes wrong, who will dare to come in the future? Cannes needs a big production and big stars to support the stage, and the film festival can't have such an accident.

Fortunately, now everything is solved!

Zhang Ran smiled: "I just hope that the premiere of my movie can go smoothly!" He glanced at his watch and said to Zhang Jingchu: "The red carpet is over, such a beautiful skirt and such beautiful makeup are a waste!"

Zhang Jingchu chuckled: "Then what does it matter, you just see it!"

"That can't be wasted, there are still about twenty minutes before the official screening of the movie, let's take two photos to commemorate it!" Zhang Ran patted the camera on his body, took Zhang Jingchu's hand and walked outside. When he met Luc Besson in the lobby of the hotel, he went straight to the press center, with the camera on his back all the time.

The press center is on the third floor of the movie palace, Zhang Ran and they came down from the upper floor, the red carpet has become very empty, reporters either enter the theater, or enter the press center to write scripts, only some fans take photos on the red carpet, saying that they are also people who have walked the red carpet.

Fans take pictures for their own amusement, but in the last life, there were domestic stars who couldn't get the invitation and didn't walk the official red carpet, so they waited for the red carpet to take two photos, and then sent them back to China to boast about the red carpet in the newspaper. The domestic audience didn't know the real situation, and thought that they really walked on the red carpet and shined at the film festival!

Zhang Ran couldn't stop commanding Zhang Jingchu and asked her to pose: "Jingchu, raise your head a little, put your knees together, step on your feet, and face the camera with one foot, and smile, that's it, that's it!"

The smile on Zhang Jingchu's face is very bright, she is really happy and happy now, even her eyebrows are smiling.

After taking a few shots, Jacob smiled and said, "You guys take a few shots together, I'll shoot them for you!"

Zhang Ran handed the camera to Jacob, walked to Zhang Jingchu's side, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and smiled at the camera.

Jacob presses the shutter and the picture freezes.

In the photo, Zhang Jingchu is smiling, and the dimples on her cheeks carry a rich happiness;

took a few photos, Zhang Ran was just about to enter the cinema, and suddenly found that there were several fans on the other end of the red carpet holding signs and begging for invitations to "Time and Space Warriors". He still had a few invitations on him, but he didn't have them, so he walked over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Ran walked over, several fans surrounded him, and one of them said excitedly: "Are you Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, he was a little famous in East Asia, and he was completely a newcomer in Cannes, and there were foreigners who knew him, so he said: "Yes, you know me?"

"We're your fans. We saw your "Time Prisoner" at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival the year before, and we've been your fans ever since!"

Zhang Ran didn't meet the fans who watched "Time Prisoner" in Brussels, and felt that he had come to the right place, so he took out a few invitations from his pocket and handed them to Evan and them: "Thank you for your support, there are still a few invitations to "Time and Space Warriors", you can take them to the movies!"

"Oh God!" said Evan, and they were thrilled.

They are science fiction fans, they have never been to Cannes before, and they thought that Cannes was selling tickets like other film festivals, but when they arrived, they learned that Cannes does not sell tickets, and if they want to see a movie, they can only ask for an invitation. But the invitation to "Time and Space Warriors" was very popular, and they waited in front of the movie palace for several days, but they didn't ask for it.

Unexpectedly, just when they were about to despair, Zhang Ran would send an invitation.

Zhang Ran smiled at them: "The movie will start soon, hurry up and enter!" After speaking, Zhang Ran walked towards Zhang Jingchu and Jacob, and walked into the movie palace with them.

It's only two minutes before the movie starts, Zhang Ran hasn't appeared yet, and the copy of the movie shouldn't be finished, so it seems that the movie can't be broadcast on time. At this moment, Luc Besson was so anxious that he kept looking up at the door, wishing that he could turn into a copy and put the movie away.

At this moment, Luc Besson saw Zhang Ran appear at the door, the stone in his heart instantly fell to the ground, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then leaned back on the chair as if he had collapsed.

Not only Luc Besson, but the entire crew of "Time and Space Warriors" breathed a sigh of relief.

God forbid, caught up!

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived and sat down in the first row, the screening room suddenly went dark, and a light shone directly on the curtain on the stage from a high place.

The first thing that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was the dragon logo of radio and television, followed by the factory logo of Qingying Studio, and the logo of Lionsgate.

Immediately after, the movie officially began. (To be continued.) )
