Chapter 41: The Red Carpet and the Opening
In today's entertainment industry, everyone tacitly knows that you must be thick-skinned on the red carpet, and you must be thick-skinned on the red carpet!
Goddess Gong Li, who is known as 'resolutely not participating in the film festival and not walking the red carpet without works', was also invited to attend the Cannes red carpet and stood in front of the camera for two minutes!
Although her identity is different from Abang's bewitching slut, she still goes against what she said.
The speed at which celebrities walk the red carpet has always been very slow, and the 60-meter red carpet doesn't seem to be worth this trip if you don't walk for 1 minute!
Compared with the guests who are officially invited to the film festival, the speed of people who rub the red carpet is slower!
The key is that these people took a team of photographers by themselves, and then took footage of themselves walking the red carpet in Cannes and sent them to China to raise their style.
In these years, it is awesome to be able to go abroad, and being able to walk on the red carpet in Cannes is a symbol of status and style.
Fan Bingbing has gone from a third-tier star to a first-line domestic star, and he has really contributed a lot in Cannes!
That's why the 70th Cannes Film Festival will invite her to be a jury...
……
The Cannes red carpet has always been starry-studded.
There are relatively fewer big stars this year, except for "Robin Hood" creators Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett, "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria...
There are really no other big stars who can be called names.
Reporters are still very lively, holding their cameras to find artists from their own countries - don't think that there are no red carpets abroad.
It's just that people don't have as many people as Fan Bingbing... It's amazing!
As a selected work in the main competition unit, the crew of "Huang Feihong" naturally appeared on time.
Xu Hui has no achievements in the world, and Wu Jing and Tong Liya are even worse.
Walking the red carpet in more than 50 seconds...
Walking across the red carpet, Xu Hui and the three of them stood in the group photo area in front of the Festival Palace, and reporters surrounded them, and they stood in the circle demarcated by the periphery.
Most of them are reporters from the mainland and Hong Kong, and a few of them speak Korean, which should be Korean reporters...
Xu Hui smiled, but did not speak.
What to say?
'Do you have faith?'
'There's your sister!'
Walking to the side of the jury, Xu Hui shook hands with Tim Burton, and the two simply said hello.
Tim Burton seemed to be very interested in Xu Hui, approached him and whispered: "I watched your movie, I really didn't expect you to be so young!"
"My pleasure!"
After shaking hands with several judges from all over the world, Xu Hui noticed that several judges from Hollywood were friendly to him.
That's right, Pao Hui is good at commercial films, and he is definitely the most awesome director of the new generation in China, Hollywood has always paid attention to the mainland market, it is normal to know his name, and it is more normal to be friendly to him.
The red carpet was coming to an end, and Fan Bingbing appeared, wearing an embroidered dragon robe, which immediately attracted the attention of the Chinese media on the scene - it was embarrassing, the official camera did not shoot her, and even many crooked people even shouted her name wrongly...
For Chinese people, it's different!
After all, for Chinese, this kind of thing is only worn by emperors!
Women wear dragon robes!
Everyone knows that she does this to be in the limelight, but how many artists dare to do this?
'You may not dare to wear my dragon robe, everyone has an empress heart, but not everyone dares to wear a dragon robe on their body. ’
However, her main profession is still an actress, and being so showy can easily arouse the disgust of many people, so the reputation of the blanket star came like this.
As long as she can come up with one, even one that can be praised, I believe that some of the rumors besieging her will naturally disappear.
A few years ago, a bunch of people said that Sun Li's acting skills were too poor, but a "The Legend of Zhen Huan" completely shut up those black fans!
The main job of an actor is still an actor!
However, seeing Fan Bingbing wearing a dragon robe up close, Pao Hui suddenly felt quite enjoyable in his heart...
……
After the red carpet, it's time for the opening film.
Robin Hood, epic movie, big production!
More than 2,000 people poured into the main venue of the Palais des Festivals, including guests and media, as well as a large number of ordinary audiences.
Xu Hui didn't go in, he has never had a love for Hollywood epics.
Wu Jing and Tong Liya didn't go in, this thing has no Chinese subtitles, and they can't understand it...
It's rare to come abroad, and it's only eight o'clock now, so I simply went back to the hotel to change my clothes, and a few people made an appointment to go shopping together.
"Robin Hood" is a very traditional grand theft story.
It's a bit similar to our "Water Margin", where the protagonist robs the rich and helps the poor...
To be honest, the story of Robin Hood can only be popular in Britain, and Lao Mei, who is deeply influenced by British culture, naturally became interested in this story.
I really don't know why these directors have to make 'Robin Hood' an IP.
By the way, the IP of 'King Arthur' is the same, based on a traditional British story, and then it was filmed, and then smashed...
Epic movies are inherently cost-intensive, and the production cost of "Robin Hood" is as high as $200 million...
In terms of actors, the starring Russell Crowe is middle-aged and fat, and he has become a ball, and the devil knows how the thief became a dead fat man;
The most anticipated picture of epic movies, "Robin Hood" did not bring even a little surprise to the audience, the war scenes of ten thousand arrows have been used in various war films, and its visual effects are even far from the domestic "Red Cliff II". The plots and filming techniques of the Crusades, sieges and looting are basically the same as "Gladiator" and "Kingdom of the Celestial Empire", and there are many times when you mistakenly think that you are watching an old movie that you watched a long time ago.
As for the plot, it's complete nonsense, there is no jungle story of Robin Hood, a strange man in green, against the government army, just a group of children stealing food everywhere...
This film should be called "The Prequel to Robin Hood", as can be seen from the fact that the title is not passed in advance, it seems that there are plans to make a sequel, but unfortunately, the first part was messed up, and you still want to make a second part?
Xu Hui knew about this movie, not because he was interested in the genre, but because "Robin Hood" was known as the worst-losing film in 2010 - the national box office was only 100 million US dollars, and the overseas box office was more than 100 million...
Even if the cost of the film can be recouped through the DVD rights in the later stage, it is an extremely long-term thing...
Universal Pictures in 2010, if it weren't for the release of "Despicable Me", it is estimated that it would really be lost...
This "Robin Hood" made Universal suffer a liver pain, and director Ridley Scott was unable to survive his later years, and officially named Russell Crowe "box office poison".
Fortunately, director Ridley Scott still has "The Opposite Sex" to eat the old book, and Russell can only play the leading role in some low-budget movies, or go through the motions in big productions.
Hollywood is so realistic, who cares if you are in the 20 million club, and whether you are an Oscar winner or not, you have messed up a 200 million big production, and your image is fixed, and you still want to be the male lead in A-level production?
Dream on!
