Chapter 1020: Actors and Blanket Stars
Ryan Coogler is a fan of Zhang Ran, and when he heard his idol say this, it was like a little red flower that a kindergarten child had been rewarded by a teacher, not to mention how happy. However, while being happy, he said modestly: "If you study with you for a few months, if I don't have your guidance, I can't shoot to this extent." He looked at Zhang Ran's sincere invitation and said, "Mr. Zhang, I especially hope that you can attend the premiere of the movie." β
Zhang Ran has always been very supportive of acquaintances' movies: "Of course you can, you can give me an invitation letter when the time comes!"
Ryan Coogler saw that Zhang Ran agreed to attend the premiere, and said with a smile: "I'll send it to you in the evening!"
Zhang Ran looked left and right, there were many people on the street, and it was not a place to chat, so he said, "I'm about to go to dinner, why don't you go with me, let's talk while eating?"
Ryan Kugler naturally couldn't ask for it, and immediately said, "Okay, I really want to talk to you too!"
It wasn't the first time Zhang Ran had been to Cannes, and he knew where the restaurants were better, so he took Ryan Coogler to the Palme d'Or at the Martinez Hotel, which is also the only restaurant in Cannes with two Michelin stars.
After the waiter brought the menu, Zhang Ran found that there were several dishes on the menu with the names of movies, including his own "Aviator" and "One Man Puts on the Lights", so he asked the waiter what was going on.
The waiter told Zhang Ran that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival would come here for dinner at the opening of the film festival to connect with each other. In 2010, knowing that Tim Burton would be attending the jury dinner as the president of the jury, the chef had the idea to design a dish for the dinner called Alice in Wonderland. This dish was not only praised by the judges, but also by the general diners. Since then, every year during the Cannes Film Festival, the restaurant has presented several dishes related to the film. This year, Zhang Ran will come to Cannes to compete, and the chef has created two dishes named after Zhang Ran's films.
Zhang Ran and Ryan Coogler were very curious about these two dishes and both ordered them.
After the food was served, Zhang Ran found that the pilot had carved an airplane out of white radish and loaded shrimp in the airport, and that one person was a grilled steak with many carved flowers around it.
Ryan Coogler shook his head, believing that the two dishes did not show the connotation of the movie at all.
The two chatted while eating, and Ryan Coogler talked endlessly about his experience over the past year, how to compete, his experience, and the documentary "Son of Film" about Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran asked: "When will "Son of the Movie" be released?"
Ryan Coogler was very surprised to hear Zhang Ran ask: "Don't you know about this year's Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival?"
Zhang Ran was stunned, and then laughed: "I didn't participate in the film festival this year, and no one told me, I guess I wanted to surprise me!"
Ryan Kugler slapped his head: "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you, I'll surprise you!" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something: "I met a Ukrainian director this morning, what is the name, the Ukrainian name is too long, I can't remember it at all." He made a film about school crime for the deaf and dumb, which was particularly inspired by "One Man Puts on a Lamp". In "One Man Puts on the Lights", the smaller part is completely silent, and the communication is done entirely by gestures. The Ukrainian director was inspired to make this film without dialogue, without sound, without subtitles, and only through body and sign language, so he especially wanted to invite you to the premiere of the film and wanted to hear your opinion. β
Zhang Ran was a little surprised to hear that the whole movie was silent, and it was completely shown through sign language. Only part of "One Person's Lights" is silent, and many viewers can't stand it. The whole movie is silent, which is undoubtedly a greater test for the audience. He couldn't help but say, "It sounds interesting, if I have time, I will definitely watch it." What's the name of the movie?"
Ryan Coogler thought for a moment and said, "It's like 'The Deaf Tribe'." β
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I know, if I have time, I will go." β
After dinner, Zhang Ran waved goodbye to Ryan Coogler and continued to wander the streets of Cannes. Cannes at night is very quiet, the hazy and warm lights are very pleasant, and the evening breeze is intoxicating. Zhang Ran suddenly remembered when he and Zhang Jingchu participated in the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival and wandered outside, but unfortunately Zhang Jingchu wanted to take the child this time and couldn't come with him.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Ran found that the hotel's phones were about to explode with messages, and they were basically calls from acquaintances.
Zhang Ziyi invited him to dinner; Fan Binbin and Li Binbin invited him to lunch respectively; several of Zhang Ran's students asked him to have a treat, and even said that they would eat and drink with him; the person in charge of the movie channel's China Night wanted him to attend the China Night Drinking Party on the night of the 16th; in addition, some friends in the film industry said that they wanted to have a small gathering with Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran knew that a drinking party like China Night had no exposure in front of the international media, and he needed to find someone to support the scene. Zhang Ran has a very good relationship with the movie channel, and if he can help, he will definitely be willing to help. He called the person in charge of the movie channel and told him that he was going to attend the opening ceremony of the director's fortnight on the night of the 16th and accept the Golden Carriage Award, so he could only rush over as much as possible.
At 6 p.m. the next day, the Cannes Film Festival, which attracted worldwide attention, officially opened. The red carpet was jammed with 156 photojournalists from 108 countries and thousands of eagerly awaited fans.
This year, the Chinese legion is exceptionally large, and the Chinese journalist corps is also surprisingly large, numbering in the hundreds. However, because the red carpet is only accessible to photographers and videographers, the vast majority of Chinese journalists have to wait until the television sets in the Palais du Cinema Media Centre to watch the live broadcast.
It is often said that one Chinese is a dragon and three Chinese are worms. But in Cannes, this sentence is definitely a fart, Chinese reporters are united, give full play to the advantage of numbers, and occupy the entire area of the news center centered on broadcast TV, with the farthest distance in the house as the diameter, and take out their mobile phones to capture the Chinese faces that appear on the screen from time to time, and some reporters even took out their stopwatches to see which Chinese actress walked the red carpet the longest.
The official live broadcast of the Cannes red carpet has a feature, only the officially invited stars have close-ups, and if it is not an official invitation, they will not give close-ups. Zhang Ziyi was officially invited to walk the red carpet in the past, and the official live broadcast would give her a close-up. But this year, she came to promote with the crew of "Taiping Wheel", not invited by the film festival, and she did not give her a close-up in the official live broadcast after she walked on the red carpet.
But Chinese reporters are so familiar with Zhang Ziyi that they recognize her despite the large panorama given by the camera. Zhang Ziyi walked quickly, a little bit unslashed on the red carpet. The reporter who pinched the stopwatch told everyone that Zhang Ziyi walked for 1 minute and 35 seconds.
Immediately after, Gong Li came. She is an actress and not a blanket star, and she walks over quickly, again without close-ups.
For Chinese reporters and fans, the most anticipated thing on the red carpet this year is the battle between Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, the queen of the two generations of "Mou Girl", and the appearance of the crew of the movie "Scorching Sun". As a result, the two generations of "Mou Girl" passed so plainly, without a single close-up, which was really disappointing.
Subsequently, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Huang Shengyi and other Chinese stars appeared one after another, some walked fast, some were slow enough to step on a group of ants, and even refused to leave after being invited by the security guards several times.
According to the reporter's statistics, the top three on the red carpet are Huang Shengyi, Li Binbin and Fan Binbin. Huang Shengyi walked for 2 minutes and 47 seconds on the red carpet, Li Binbin walked for 3 minutes and 15 seconds and was invited by the security guard twice, and Fan Binbin was invited by the security guard three times and walked for 3 minutes and 38 seconds!
The Chinese reporters present lamented that although Fan Ye did not dominate the crowd this year, the time of walking the red carpet killed everyone in seconds, which was simply too good!
At this moment, there was a commotion on the red carpet, and the photographers on the scene all let out an exclamation, as if something terrible had happened. Chinese reporters thought it was a superstar on the stage, and they all stared wide to see who it was, and then they saw a stunned scene, only to see a woman walking on the red carpet with a gift similar to an embroidered carpet in the Northeast.
No one knew this woman, and the host didn't introduce who she was, but the photographers silently focused their cameras on her. Even the other guests who passed by stopped one after another, with a smile in their mouths, and took out their mobile phones to take pictures secretly. Even the official live footage noticed her and gave her a big close-up.
The Chinese reporters at the press center finally recognized who the woman was, Li Chen's ex-girlfriend Zhang Xinyu.
The pictures of the scene were transmitted back to China, and the entire Weibo exploded instantly: "What are you wearing? This is not my aunt's quilt!"
"Dear, have you dismantled the old quilt at home?"
"It's shocking, it's a shame to go abroad!!"
"This dress is so thunderous, the sky is thundering, the thunder is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, I can't bear this kind of aesthetics, what is this, I'm really fed up!"
However, Zhang Xinyu was very satisfied, and when she walked on the red carpet, she clearly saw that there were not many foreign actresses in front of her, but now all photographers have pointed their cameras at themselves, and the flash is enough to blind people's eyes, which is simply the treatment of a superstar. Zhang Xinyu enjoyed it incomparably and felt that it was too worthwhile to buy a red carpet invitation with 200,000 yuan! She kept her pace unhurriedly, like a parade float for the Lantern Festival, slowly moving towards the front of the red carpet.
Zhang Xinyu walked too slowly, which naturally attracted the attention of the security guards at the scene, so he came over to ask her to go faster, but Zhang Xinyu ignored it, turned his face to the other side, and continued his snail step. The security guards came to "invite" Zhang Xinyu four times in total, and she walked the red carpet slowly.
At the moment when Zhang Xinyu walked the red carpet, everyone asked the reporter who pinched the watch: "How long has Zhang Xinyu gone?"
The reporter who pinched the watch shouted: "4 minutes and 48 seconds!"
The Chinese reporters at the scene were dumbfounded: "It's amazing, it's one minute longer than Fan Binbin!"
"Zhang Xinyu is amazing, Fan Binbin robbed her Li Chen, she robbed Fan Binbin's red carpet!"
"Fan Binbin, who pressed the red carpet, was pressed by Zhang Xinyu with a big cotton jacket this time! I really want to see Fan Binbin's expression!"
The reporters at the press center all thought that Zhang Xinyu might have to create the longest time for a Chinese actress to stay on the red carpet this year, but they soon realized that they were too naΓ―ve. Jin Qiaoqiao, who came to Cannes with her husband Bona Film CEO Yu Dong, walked on the red carpet for 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
According to the observation of reporters, Jin Qiaoqiao took advantage of the large number of people on the red carpet at that time, not only could she be hard for half a minute in situ styling, but after several rounds of styling, she even pulled Yu Dong back to the center of the red carpet and walked again.
The Chinese reporters are simply scared, they are worthy of the women who conquered Yu Dong, and the level of rubbing the red carpet is simply beating a certain Bing and a certain Yu!
At this moment, the TV screen flashed, and the camera switched to the waiting area of the red carpet. The first thing that catches my eye is Zhang Ran, who is having a veneer ceremony with a woman in her forties. A female reporter shouted: "Who is this old woman, eat my family's Ranran tofu!"
