The news that Jeon Do-yeon was talking about was not the local news in France, but the news in South Korea, when she was having dinner and chatting with Liang Baoguang the night before, a man and a woman sitting at the table not far away happened to be expatriate reporters from JoongAng Daily. The www.biquge.info two of them originally went to eat there purely for public expense and private corruption, but they didn't expect to encounter big news, and after they went back, they added fuel and vinegar to make it up, and it became that Liang Baoguang, a person from the Celestial Dynasty, lacked respect for his predecessors, and did not respect the old and virtuous like Koreans.

Under the strict order system of the elders and young in South Korea, it is very taboo to talk about the seniors of the same industry in private, and it is just that others don't know about it, and once it spreads, it is likely to be denied by the whole society. Quan Duyan didn't say anything excessive, but Liang Baoguang didn't show much mercy, but he was a Celestial Empire and was not subject to the constraints of South Korea, so the media in South Korea did not hold on to his remarks, but deliberately took out his identity as a Celestial Empire person to talk about things.

Liang Gesheng's entry into Korean nationality was arranged organizationally, in order to make him better trusted and penetrate the enemy's interior as soon as possible, he had to do this, but Liang Baoguang didn't need it, he always retained the nationality of the Celestial Empire and did not change the slightest idea. Lao Tzu joined the gang but his son did not, obviously looking down on South Korea's green book, Liang Baoguang's attitude in South Korea, where narrow nationalism is rampant, is obviously to sting their fragile national self-esteem.

There is a reason why Koreans are so sensitive, because another film "Breathe" also participated in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival award competition, with their love for YY, there was a prediction more than a month ago that "Zhang Zhen or Ha Jung-woo won the best actor, and the film won the Palme d'Or", because in their opinion, "Breathe" is a more in-depth and artistic film than "Miryang".

Because they were both selected for the main competition unit of the film festival, "Miryang" and "Breathe" have become direct competitors, and from the standpoint of Koreans, of course they hope that "Breathe" can win, after all, that movie is Kim Ki-duk's work, and there is only a Korean brand on it. But the reality is too skinny, and after 20 days, the running score of "Breathe" is at the bottom of the 20 shortlisted works, and "Miryang" ranks third, so their hostility towards Liang Baoguang is so great.

"Don't take this little thing to heart." Liang Baoguang said very easily, but his brows couldn't be opened, it is necessary to find someone to be angry, but if these people are allowed to tell the truth on the news, he is likely to lose a piece of land for himself. With the xenophobic character of the Koreans, I am afraid that an outsider will not be able to gain power easily, and no one can point it out before, but now that he has been fired by someone, he has to face this problem. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and Koreans do not reject all outsiders, and the eternal brother is a good example.

Anyway, he won't go back to South Korea for the time being, there is no need to care about what the Koreans think, and even if something happens, Liang Gesheng will deal with it, so he just has a little headache and puts things behind, and the awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is what he has to prepare.

It is unlikely that he will directly bribe the election, but there is nothing wrong with the relationship, although Liang Baoguang didn't know if it would work, but with the mentality of giving it a try, he still took out Michael Barker's business card and called it. Liang Baoguang didn't say anything too explicit on the phone, only said that he now has a script with a higher quality than "This Man is from Earth" and "Miryang" waiting to start filming, but he is not famous enough to attract good actors to shoot, and hopes that Sony classic movies can give a little help in terms of funds and actors.

Michael Buck is a man who understands, and by that Liang Baoguang means that he will help run the Cannes Film Festival awards, and the reward is to hand over the new film to Sony Classic for distribution. Michael Buck didn't know what the quality of the new script was, he just heard some general information from Liang Baoguang when he was in Austin, and he would never have considered using resources for a script he hadn't read two weeks ago, but now Liang Baoguang is already qualified to let him invest.

Good background, luxurious educational experience, dazzling personal talent, old-fashioned means and skills, keen observation and calm way of thinking...... With such a perfect young man who is sure to become a big name at the festival, Michael Buck is sure that he is now spending resources to tie Liang Baoguang to Sony's big ship, which is a surefire deal. Although he had already made a decision in his heart, he didn't say anything, "Paul, since you need an old drama bone, I'll help you find a few old friends and ask them." ”

"Thank you, Micheal, I'll thank you when I go back to the United States, how about bringing a bottle of good wine from France?" The two didn't say a word about the Cannes Film Festival, but they had already decided everything through a tacit understanding, and then they could wait for the results. The reason why Liang Baoguang found Michael Buck was not because he knew each other and posted it casually, but because he saw the ambition of Sony's classic films in the past two years, and there was not a single Sony-released work in the main competition unit of the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, so he was able to open this mouth.

A week has passed in a hurry, as the Cannes Film Festival is gradually coming to an end, Liang Baoguang's name has begun to be known by more people, and it has been hyped again in South Korea, and many people have set their eyes on the direction of the Celestial Empire, and a fan club of his has appeared in the United States, mainly composed of fans of "This Man is from Earth".

In 2007, when smartphones were not widely used in the world, some people in the Celestial Empire held their mobile phones, that is, they went to Monternet to look at the pictures of 1024 and other stations (minors should be accompanied by guardians to Baidu), and the customers of the portal were mainly PC users, who either read novels or played games, so the influence of these websites was not high, and the main body of the media was newspapers and TV news.

Liang Baoguang was expecting a reporter from the Left Bank to give him an interview or something, after all, he was his own person and had made a breakthrough at such a prestigious film festival, but it turned out that he was wishful thinking. Wong Kar-wai has a cold face that has not changed for thousands of years, and someone sticks it up, Natalie Portman is surrounded as long as he goes out, but he walks on the nearby beach without anyone paying attention, and occasionally one or two South Korean reporters ask him some boring questions such as "Is it enough to play Kim Tae-hee before replacing Natalie Portman".

The day of the awards ceremony finally arrived, and the 23-year-old Liang Baoguang and the 33-year-old Quan Duyan were not well-known in the world, let alone seniority, so they entered early, stood on the red carpet and just casually posed a few times and entered. South Korean reporters are very sorry that a "Miryang" finally entered the final stage of the Cannes Film Festival, but they seem to take it very seriously, but they have always put their posture very low in Europe and the United States, and they dare not complain to the organizers. Many Korean reporters said that the popularity of "Blueberry Night" by their peers was subjective, and it is likely to affect the final choice of the jury.

In the United States, people are always full of curiosity about the Korean Peninsula, what kind of magical region can cultivate such two people? Only North Koreans look down on the United States in the world, only South Koreans look down on China in the world, and one Korean Peninsula looks down on the G1 and G2 of the world...... These two people live forever in their own little world, and studying their mentality is really self-defeating.

"It's not a good venue." Jeon Do-yeon has participated in many award ceremonies of the Blue Dragon Awards and the Daejong Awards, and the pomp and circumstance for Koreans to entertain themselves is bigger than here.

The theater studio itself is small, the stage is even more pitiful, and all the members of the jury will sit next to the stage during the award ceremony, like jurors in the courtroom, so the award ceremony is really just an awards ceremony, no entertainment at all, which is very consistent with the "purity" insisted on by the Cannes Film Festival.

"We're here to win the award today, and we're not here to see the play, what do you do with the layout of the venue." Liang Baoguang's relaxed attitude is not only on his face, but also reflected in his dress, he seems to be the only one who comes in a casual suit, not like he is coming to an important awards ceremony, but like going to a good friend's house as a guest.

Liang Baoguang understands French, because he had a "good partner" after he first arrived in the United States, a native of St. John's City, New Brunswick, Canada, and French is the most widely spoken language in New Brunswick. The girl's name is Michelle Lee, and her parents are Korean, but she was born in Toronto and holds dual citizenship of Canada and South Korea, and later spent a short time together with Liang Baoguang at the Woodstock Festival when she was a student at Columbia University.

Wong Kar-wai's position is very high, so that he has to turn back if he wants to see Liang Baoguang, and he has been a little unhappy these days because he was swept away by a junior. In the past, with Wong Kar-wai's character, he didn't even pay attention to the outside news, and in Hong Kong, he had seen a lot of strange phenomena in order to be popular, but this time he couldn't continue to be light, because "Blueberry Night" is really bad.

The movie gathered four quasi-first-line stars from Hollywood, plus he, a self-proclaimed director, and the movie he co-produced was actually overshadowed by a group of amateurs, which made Director Wang embarrassed. He has nothing to say about losing to the Coen brothers, even if Chen Kaige comes again, he can admit it, but where did this Liang Baoguang come from?

"Best Director Award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, Liang Baoguang of "Miryang"!" Jia Zhangke, as the chairman of the jury, read out the results on paper.

"Huh?" Liang Baoguang heard the familiar French, and was reminiscing about the happy time when he worked tirelessly with Canadians for three days and two nights at the White Lake Resort, when he was suddenly named and didn't know what happened.
