Chapter 862 Three Expeditions to Cannes Reward and change for the elders
"Are you sure you're really from Huaxia?"
Huang Bo asked Xu Hui kindly, and the latter was speechless, and the Huaxia reporters next to him laughed when they saw this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Hahaha!"
Huang Bo's emotional intelligence didn't say.
Not only is his acting skills good, but his emotional intelligence is also high!
The most annoying thing is Xu Hui, who has no discipline at all, and he can't even stand his peers.
Especially now that "Inception" is fighting with foreign media, as a Chinese reporter, you actually jumped out to make trouble, can you not attract the hatred of the Chinese people?
Well, while other Chinese reporters praised Huang Bo's answer, they also collected valuable news materials, and they were able to make a difference!
Li Bingyu and her personal assistant heard the answers of Xiao Xing and Huang Bo to Chinese and foreign reporters, and the assistant whispered in her ear: "The sharp style of cute people can be regarded as falling in everyone's bones." ”
Thinking of chatting with his sister Li Xue in private, Li Bingyu whispered: "Don't you think it's good to do this, at least you don't sleep and dare to bully easily." ”
After speaking, she looked at Mai Xiaoyu, who was standing and chatting with a middle-aged black man outside the crowd.
The two glanced at each other, she smiled in return, and Mai Xiaoyu pulled the middle-aged black man to turn around and leave.
Li Bingyu: "......"
The middle-aged black man is the bar owner Mbiwa, whose bar has now become an extension of Cannes' cultural attractions, known as Cannes' No. 1 bar. Every year at the Cannes Film Festival, the most filmmakers want to show movies in his bar, and of course the cost is the highest.
Mbiwa is a sincere person who knows who is responsible for the drastic change in his bar. Therefore, every year before the Cannes Film Festival, I would call Mai Xiaoyu and ask him if he would come.
Knowing that he would be coming this year, Mbiwa drove to pick him up, and the accommodation was arranged.
Mai Xiaoyu does not live in the same hotel as the crew of "Inception", he still lives in the same apartment last time, which Mbiwa arranged for him, which is very close to Lumière Palace.
"Hey Mai, your compatriots are very good, and you have taught the shameless and ugly British a hard lesson. I'm having a good time, so why hurry up? ”
The French and the British did not have a good relationship, so to speak, and they were not used to each other. Even though the two countries, as European powers, are adjacent to each other across the sea, and their ties are becoming closer, the psychological and emotional distance between the two peoples, and even the estrangement, is still "obvious".
According to a survey by an authoritative European organization, more than sixty percent of young French people believe that Britain across the Channel is an "absolutely boring" place.
Take the most common "eat" as an example, the French ridicule the British. British cuisine "tastes the same as chewing wax", "bread and sandwiches are often the same for breakfast and lunch", and "dinner is always boiled meat with rotten vegetables", which is far from France, which is a "food paradise" and a "food power".
The British hated the French equally.
According to the agency's survey, nearly half of the British believe that the most inexplicable thing is that the French are "arrogant"; More than sixty percent of the British believe that the "individuality" of the French who generally refuse to admit their mistakes can be called a "national shame".
Even though the two countries formed an alliance during World War II, there are still many British people who sneer at the rapid conquest of France by Germany. It was also concluded that the French "playboys" went to war tantamount to "chasing ducks to the shelves".
The mutual ridicule between the two countries has historical roots.
Geographically, Britain and France, both on the periphery of Europe, have been at war throughout their history and still talk about their victories in the war.
For this reason, the people of the two countries have not been less talking.
The British say they have world-class writers such as Shakespeare and Dickens; The French asked: Can you get a super painter and a super musician?
The French used the metric system to claim that the narrowest point of the English Channel was only 33 kilometers; But the British insisted that it was 21 miles.
……
There are many similar things, so Mbiwa, a Frenchman, will be so happy when he sees Xiao Xing angrily scolding British reporters.
Mai Xiaoyu was also watching the excitement and praised the combat effectiveness shown by Xi Xiaoxing's comics.
But Li Bingyu looked at him and smiled back, so he had to leave early.
Out of the airport, Ke Haoyi put the salute in the trunk of the car, and Mbiwa drove the two to Cannes, and asked on the way: "Mai, what kind of movies did you bring this year?" ”
"A science fiction film."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you were with the Chinese man who taught the British. Tell me, what time are your movies going to be shown in my bar? ”
"We're not black this time."
"Black?"
Mbiwa obviously couldn't understand the meaning of the word "black household" in the Chinese population, and Mai Xiaoyu added: "This time, I want to screen the film in the Lumière Palace." ”
"Oh, congratulations, you've finally made it!"
Mbiwa slapped the steering wheel, and the car honked, making Mai Xiaoyu happy.
At the Cannes Film Festival, both the films competing in the main competition and the participating films are basically screened in the iconic Palais Lumière.
The first two "Fatal ID" and "This Man from Earth" failed to pass the trial in China, and Mai Xiaoyu had to "smuggle" Cannes in a "black household" way to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the directors of the two films, Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan.
So, by chance, it set Mbiwa's bar on fire.
But this time Inception is different.
Mai Xiaoyu has entrusted the other seven companies to operate the only indicator of the best foreign language film at the domestic Oscars, how can he fall on the hurdle of the film's "birth permit"?
Therefore, this time "Inception" came to participate in the exhibition in a dignified manner, and through the private operation of Hualong Pictures and the name of the cute production, it got the opportunity to be screened in the Lumière Palace.
Filmmakers all over the world are eager to attend the Festival de Cannes, and few people miss the opportunity to do so unless it's a hot slate. Even if you can't be selected for the competition, if you can participate in the exhibition, you can hope to sell overseas.
There are 2,000 films on display each year, but the Palazzo Lumières has a limited number of screenings and only a few films can premiere in the screening hall.
According to the statistics of the organizing committee, there are more than 1,500 film screenings during the Cannes Film Festival every year, and the number of films screened is only more than 400, and this year's "Inception" is one of them.
Unlike the more than a thousand films left, they can only be crowded into the basement of the Lumière Palace, one narrow booth after another, trying to show their films through posters to attract the attention of distributors.
As a Cannes native, Mbiwa is well aware of the competition between the films participating in the previous Cannes Film Festival, which is why he congratulates Mak Xiaoyu.
"When I get the tickets in a few days, I will give you a few and invite your whole family to watch it."
"You're too generous, Mai. But what about your sci-fi movie? It can't really be a martial arts movie flying around, as the Brit said, right? To be honest, even my son is tired of watching martial arts movies in your country. ”
"It's not funny." Mai Xiaoyu shook his head, "Did the two movies I screened in your bar disappoint you?" ”
"Oh, I remember, 'This Man Is From Earth' seems to be very high at the global box office. Will Inception be the same this time? ”
Mai Xiaoyu lowered the window, his arm was outside the car, feeling the galloping wind, and said with a smile: "I don't know either, but I'll know it after the screening......"
