Chapter Twenty-Six: The Beginning
If "Carol" did not pass the censorship, but Shen Lin participated in the film festival privately, it would be a violation of the rules. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is no need for Jia Zhangke to say anything, there will immediately be a bunch of filmmakers who are 'concerned' about Chinese films to find various complaints from the General Administration!
At the beginning, wasn't "Xiao Wu" banned like this!
However, it's a pity that Shen Lin would never do such a knowingly thing!
"Carol" has not only passed the review a long time ago, but has even been approved for release, and the dragon logo has been pasted.
Of course, compared to the domestic version, the version that participated in Cannes may be a little larger in scale, such as the boat show.
In the age of the Internet, the speed of media transmission is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Just when Jia Zhangke arranged for his assistant to call to inquire about "Carol", Pain News had updated the instant news: director Shen Lin appeared at Cannes Airport, and it is reported that he will participate in the main competition unit this time.
Du Niang News is more specific: 'Shen Lin's new work "Carol" became the opening film of the 68th Cannes Film Festival!'
Or NetEase News habitually pulls hatred for Shen Lin: 'Shen Lin bluntly said that he is not optimistic about this Chinese movie!'
The news collectively updated by the three major portals is related to Shen Lin's participation in Cannes.
Netizens were stunned.
Of course, they knew that Shen Lin was filming a new movie some time ago, and for two whole months, Shen Lin was very low-key, at most he refused to participate in the annual commendation meeting of the Directors Guild, but after entering May, there was more news around Shen Lin, various press conferences, roadshows, and it was obvious that they were building momentum for the promotion of "Operation Mekong"!
Now someone told them that Shen Lin was going to compete for the Cannes Film Festival with a new film!
"No, I think "Carol" didn't start filming until March, right?"
"Upstairs, you're right, it's really started in early March!"
"And then, in May, the boss has been busy promoting Operation Mekong?"
"Yes, a whole movie in two months, and you signed up for the Cannes International Film Festival?"
"Wouldn't it be too casual? If he doesn't win the award, it's okay to say, if he wins the award, won't he be a director in the face all over the world?"
"Du Niang News said that "Carol" was selected as the opening film, which means that the judges love this movie!"
"The boss is too awesome!"
"That's it, however, the boss is different from other directors, he makes literary films at a rate that is significantly faster than commercial films, think about "Dallas Buyers Club" in 20 days!"
"Do you think it's possible for the boss to win the Palme d'Or?"
"Live broadcast Xiang, I bet two catties, I don't think the possibility of the boss is very high, Cannes likes to balance the most, if Teacher Gong Li wins the best actress, the probability of the boss winning the award will be smaller!"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I believe him, I think this time in Cannes, the boss may have to fly!"
ā¦ā¦
The next day, early in the morning, Cannes.
Zhao Liying opened her eyes with some pain.
"Hmm..."
Resisting the tumbling of stomach juices, he reluctantly sat up, shook his head, and only felt all kinds of dizziness.
Jet lag is a very hard thing, I can't sleep at night, and I have all kinds of sleepiness during the day!
The imperial capital is almost 7 hours away from Cannes, and when I arrived at the hotel last night, I was sleepy, and I slept until now, and when I woke up in the morning, it was like this.
It is estimated that I was too excited on the plane, and I originally wanted to find Yang Ying to go out for a wave and take a look at the charming French night scene, but my body couldn't bear it.
Yang Ying's side is similar, and she is also desperately jet lag.
"Shen Lin? Shen Lin... Ahem..."
touched the side of the bed, there was no figure, the quilt was faintly warm, Li Ying called her man's name in her throat, she didn't pay attention, she actually choked.
"What's wrong? No, you're so old that you can choke yourself when you talk!"
Ran to the bedroom and saw Li Ying who was coughing desperately, Shen Lin hurriedly took the milk from the dining table.
ā⦠I haven't brushed my teeth yet. ā
While complaining a few words, I drank a whole glass of milk very happily!
"I'm glad you haven't brushed your teeth yet, and if you're done, do I have to lead the cows in?"
Ying Bao got up from the bed very dissatisfied, and directly imprinted her head in Shen Lin's arms, leaving two milky white marks before she was satisfied and ran barefoot into the bathroom.
"No, I didn't bring a few clothes!"
Shen Lin looked at the milk stains left on his chest with a little wry smile.
"Who made you make fun of me!"
"I'm not making fun of you, I've always liked to speak with facts!"
"Get out!"
Twenty minutes later, Li Ying walked out of the bathroom refreshed, "What's for breakfast?"
I'll go, you're just going to eat after pulling Xiang, is it really okay?
Shen Lin rolled his eyes and forcibly held back his complaint: "... Western breakfast with milk, bread and sandwiches, fried eggs, cereal!"
"Don't you have rice? I want to eat egg fried rice and fried dough sticks!"
"I still want to eat the Manchurian full banquet, some of them are good! By the way, I can let the chef prepare, we live in a five-star hotel, and there are chefs who specialize in Chinese food!"
Shen Lin suddenly thought of something.
"Hurry up, I'm a little hungry!"
"There is a pre-screening press conference soon, are you sure you still want to eat Chinese food now?"
As the opening film, "Carol" naturally attracted much attention and was also one of the key films promoted at this Cannes Film Festival.
The official specially prepared a pre-screening press conference for the crew of "Carol".
ā⦠Forget it, hand me the bread!"
Li Ying also remembered that today's schedule seemed to be a little tight.
I also have to participate in the pre-screening press conference in the morning, and walk the red carpet in the evening!
Hey, female artists are so painful!
Eat something to cushion the mat, lest you be overwhelmed by people!
Today is May 13th, the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
In fact, the festival is not just a red carpet show, in the 12 days of Cannes, there will be countless red carpets, openings, film premieres, dinner red carpets.
Of course, the most important thing is only the opening red carpet and the closing red carpet.
According to Shen Lin's thoughts, he will take these two meanings, and it is estimated that Ying Bao also thinks so.
Although our Yingbao is hard and injured, he is a famous actor!
It's much better to eat with strength than to be called a blanket star!
Just thinking about it, Ying Bao filled two mouthfuls of bread, suddenly became excited, ran to the bedroom, took out a silver-gray dress, shiny, put it on his chest and gestured, beautiful.
Ying Bao looked at the mirror, made various gestures, raised his head and shouted at Shen Lin: "Shen Lin, you help me urge, why haven't Dior's people come yet?"
"By the way, what about Chen Yang, I want her to help me refer to it!"
Shen Lin was stunned, is this still the desperate Sanniang who regards fashion as dung?
"It's not... Besides, the opening will not be until 7 p.m., and you will have to attend the pre-screening press conference later, so you can't just wear a dress and go straight to it!"
Shen Lin still underestimated the attraction of the red carpet show to female artists!
Ying Bao's mind at the moment is estimated to have flown to the opening red carpet in the evening!
