In the waiting area in front of the entrance of the red carpet, Zhang Ran had just come to a veneer ceremony with French Culture Minister Aurellie-Philippet, and the host came over and pulled him for an interview.

The host asked Zhang Ran what he thought of the Cannes Film Festival, and asked him how he felt about coming to Cannes. At this time, he can only praise, he said succinctly: "I believe that most filmmakers have special feelings for Cannes, and if they don't take movies to Cannes once in their lives, they will have regrets." So, here I am, and I'm so happy. ”

Zhang Ran said that just after that, the close-up shot turned into a panoramic shot, and at this time, the Chinese reporters in the news center saw Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan standing quietly next to Zhang Ran.

At the same time, the red carpet commentator kept talking about Zhang Ran's achievements. There were many fans of Zhang Ran at the scene, and every time the narrator talked about a movie, it could cause a burst of cheers.

After the interview, Zhang Ran and the three of them walked to the red carpet. Because they knew that it was Zhang Ran and they were going to walk the red carpet, the scene was cleared to avoid a strange scene like Zhang Xinyu, and the background music was also changed to the theme song of the movie "Aviator" "Dream Chasing Pure Heart". However, the English version of the song was covered by the Danish band Mike Learns Rock two years ago, and it is quite popular in Europe.

The Chinese reporters in the press center were quite shocked when they heard the music of "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" on the spot, and played exclusive music for the crew, which is rare in the history of Cannes. A reporter couldn't help but say: "This salary is too high!"

A reporter responded: "He was invited by Cannes several times, and his salary is not high!"

After Zhang Ran and they walked on the red carpet, the foreign fans on both sides of the red carpet suddenly spoke Chinese, calling Zhang Ran's name in Chinese, saying "I love you" in Chinese, and even singing "Dream Chasing Child's Heart" in Chinese. The reporters were also shouting Zhang Ran's name in Chinese, asking him to look at the camera, and at the same time frantically pressing the shutter. The official live broadcast also took special care of them, first giving Zhang Ran a 20-second long shot, and then the camera switched between the three of them.

Zhang Ran and Li Xuejian are not very interested in the red carpet, but they know that the red carpet is very important to young actresses like Wang Luodan, and they did not finish the red carpet in three or two steps, but stopped after two steps, and accompanied Wang Luodan so that reporters could take pictures.

Wang Luodan is a bean sprout figure, and her sexy style is naturally not suitable, and she is wearing a white dress by Ellie Saab today, which looks refreshing and cute. The official live broadcast also took good care of her, giving her a lot of close-ups, each of which had the shortest 3 seconds, front, side, back, until she finally walked into the movie palace.

The Chinese reporters in the news center did not count how many close-ups Zhang Ran had, but counted the close-ups of Wang Luodan. And the result made the reporters stunned: "It's so good, the official live broadcast actually gave Wang Luodan 12 close-ups, it's really amazing!"

"No Chinese actress has ever received such treatment in Cannes, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi have at most three or four close-ups, this time they actually gave Wang Luodan so many close-ups, and each close-up took a particularly long time!"

"The Sun is a big hit at Cannes, and the world is watching the film. Wang Luodan is the heroine of the movie, and the close-ups are naturally much more, and some works are different!"

"I don't remember that there is a protagonist in it, the main thing is to play the ancestor and a dog, who is Wang Luodan playing?"

"I don't know, it should be a new character!"

When Zhang Ran and his entourage entered the movie palace, a beautiful guide came over and took Zhang Ran and them to their place. The guide asked Zhang Ran with an expectant face, can Mr. Zhang take a group photo? Zhang Ran smiled and said, of course. The guide immediately took out his mobile phone, took a picture with Zhang Ran, and then left with a happy face.

Sitting next to Zhang Ran and them is the crew of "Mr. Turner" led by Mike Lee, Mike Lee and Zhang Ran are old acquaintances, and they can also be said to be old rivals. At the beginning, Zhang Ran took "The Aviator" to participate in Venice, and his biggest opponent was Mike Lee's "Vera Drake", and finally Zhang Ran stepped on Mike Lee and soared into the sky and won the Golden Lion Award.

However, Mike Lee did not have hostility because of his defeat to Zhang Ran, a junior, but admired Zhang Ran very much, and losing to "The Aviator", a movie that has gone down in history, is not a shame, but a glory, he smiled and nodded at Zhang Ran, and Zhang Ran also smiled and nodded in response.

The big screen on the live stage is broadcasting the red carpet live, and the guests on the scene are quietly watching the live broadcast, except for going to the bathroom, it is rare to see people running around, and Internet celebrities are not looking for celebrities everywhere to take photos.

At this moment, the live camera switched to the waiting area, and the host began to interview the judges of the main competition unit of this film festival. The moderator almost always asked the same question: "Does it feel particularly different to be a judge?"

When the reporter threw this question to the Chinese director Jia Zhangke, his answer was very brief: "I think both are very exciting, and being a judge can make it easier to feel the film, but there are different pleasures and different passions." ”

When the Chinese reporters in the news center saw the host interviewing Jia Zhangke, they all applauded at the big screen, and at the same time whispered: "If I were the host, I would ask Jia Zhangke, what do you think of Zhang Ran's new film?"

"The host will definitely not ask this, this is obviously embarrassing Jia Zhangke, what can he say, he can only say that he hasn't watched it yet, in order to avoid suspicion, he will definitely say that he will not meet Zhang Ran during the film festival. ”

"That's right, Jiang Wen took "The Sun Also Rises" to Venice, and the chairman of that session was Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen shouted before the opening of the film festival, I am planning to do things, and I am planning to achieve things, which is equivalent to shouting Zhang Yimou to give himself awards. As a result, Zhang Yimou gave the golden lion to Ang Lee, and Jiang Wen did not have an award. There are some things that can't be picked out, and if you do, you can't get them. ”

""The Sun Also Rises" is a movie, too similar to "The Rainstorm is Coming", and the level is a big difference to "The Rainstorm is Coming", how can it be possible to give the award! I am optimistic that Zhang Ran will win the award this time, and the judges this time are not only Jia Zhangke, but also Sophia Coppola, she has always claimed to be a fan of Zhang Ran, South Korea's Jeon Do-yeon and Zhang Ran seem to know each other, and she said that the director she wants to work with the most is Zhang Ran. With so many acquaintances, Zhang Ran will definitely be able to win the award this time. If the quality of the film is good enough, the Palme d'Or is entirely possible. ”

The Chinese journalists in the audience undoubtedly hoped that Zhang Ran would win the Palme d'Or, after all, it was 20 years ago that China last won the Palme d'Or. However, it is too difficult to say that the film festival will win the award, and there are many uncertainties.

A reporter said: "That's not good, Quentin has always claimed to be a fan of Wong Kar-wai, "2046" ranked first in the house magazine when it came to Cannes, and Quentin was the chairman of the film festival, but "2046" did not have a single award, and finally returned empty-handed. ”

The red carpet of this year's Cannes opening ceremony ended with the collective appearance of the main creator of the opening film "Princess of Monaco". Nicole Kidman has long been out of fashion in Hollywood, but she has taken on a lot of film festival directors in recent years, so she is still treated like a superstar at Cannes. The official broadcast began with Nicole Kidman in the waiting area, showing the whole process of walking through the 60-meter-long red carpet and then entering the screening hall from the main entrance, which took 13 minutes.

After the crew of "Princess of Monaco" took their seats, the opening ceremony officially began.

The whole opening ceremony was as simple as ever, showing the footage of 19 films in the main competition unit, and then inviting the nine judges to the stage to accept the applause of the audience, the whole process was just over 20 minutes.

After the opening ceremony, the festival set aside a 15-minute break for everyone to go to the toilet so that they could devote themselves to the film. Many blanket stars began to use this time to leave, they came to the red carpet and had no interest in movies, of course, there were also smart blanket stars who began to use this time to take photos.

Zhang Ran was surrounded by a circle of blanket stars from all over the world, all hoping that he would take a group photo. Although Zhang Ran knew that these group photos would appear on social networks in various countries, and even on the entertainment pages of the media, it would say "Zhang Ran and XXX had an intimate conversation". But what does it matter, Zhang Ran will not have anything to lose, he smiled and took photos with Internet celebrities.

Fifteen minutes later, the lights in the hall went out and the opening film, Princess of Monaco, began.

The opening film of "Princess of Monaco" as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival is very appropriate. At the 1955 Cannes Film Festival, Grace Kelly, who had just won an Oscar for "Country Girl", met her future husband, Rainier III of the Principality of Monaco.

However, it is a pity that the French director Olivier Dahan, who is known for his good biographical films, failed to continue the success of "La Vie en Rose", and this time it was completely messed up.

"The Princess of Monaco" was filmed last year and has been regarded as a seeding contestant for the Hollywood awards season, but Harvey postponed it until March this year, citing the fact that "the film has not yet been stopped". In January of this year, the film was canceled again.

It is said that because Harvey was dissatisfied with the quality of the film and wanted to revise the film, director Olivier Daon re-edited it, but Weinstein was still not satisfied and decided to do it himself. After that, both sides publicly blamed each other's clips as a disaster.

In the end, "The Princess of Monaco" announced that it would be unveiled in Cannes, but Xavi angrily announced that he would not attend the premiere of the film in Cannes.

The guests present all knew that this movie should not be very good, otherwise with the relationship between Harvey and Nicole Kidman, it would not be like this, but no one expected that the movie would be bad like this.

The whole movie is completely a soap opera, and it can even be said that it is a Mary Sue play. Such a film obviously cannot satisfy the audience who is willing to go to the cinema to watch literary films, let alone the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, where art film masters gather. At the end of the film screening, there were boos at the scene, which made the main creator of the movie quite embarrassed.

Coming out of the Movie Palace, Zhang Ran has been thinking about why "Princess of Monaco" was so unsuccessful. He felt that the first half of the movie was okay, but the second half was fictional, and the content was not only cliché, but also particularly fake, with a strong Mary Sue flavor. It is not surprising that such a biopic was booed by the audience.

Zhang Ran thought to himself, when filming Zhang Chunru, he must not make this kind of mistake, the content of the movie must be true, and Hu must not make up the plot for the sake of a good movie, otherwise he may end up with "Princess of Monaco"!

At half past 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ran took the crew members to the Hilton Hotel to attend the opening dinner of the film festival. The seats of all the members of this year's jury are in the center, which is the thunderous table 18, and Zhang Ran and the crew of "Scorching Sun" are sitting at table 19 next to them. Shortly after they were seated, Jacob walked in with the jury.

Jia Zhangke nodded at Zhang Ran with a smile when he saw Zhang Then. He is friends with Zhang Ran, and he is a judge of this film festival, so he must avoid suspicion at this time. Sofia Coppola and South Korea's Jeon Do-yeon also smiled and nodded at Zhang Ran, but neither came over to say hello, also avoiding suspicion. Zhang Ran also just smiled in return, he also needed to avoid suspicion.
