Chapter 308: A Trip to Cannes
Cannes is a beautiful town on the Mediterranean coast with a population of only 70,000. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention anything else, the annual Cannes Film Festival alone is estimated to make them eat and wait for death.
It is precisely because of his small size that Huaguo does not have a direct flight to Cannes at all, and they need to take a car from Paris to Cannes.
As soon as I left the Paris airport, before I could see where Ms. Elisabeth was picking up the airport, I saw all kinds of flashing lights flashing wildly, shaking several people who couldn't open their eyes at all.
The focus of the photo is, of course, the youthful Oriental beauty queen Qiaoqiao.
Although many media don't know who she is at all, they must have come to Cannes to participate in the exhibition, and they will take pictures first.
The reason why these reporters are so and thirsty is to blame Uncle bin Laden.
Before that, I don't know who offended Uncle bin Laden, and Uncle said that he wanted to make some moves at this film festival.
As a result, Hollywood big names including Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Clooney, Uma Thurman, Quentin Tarantino and others have canceled this trip to France, and only Nicole Kidman risked her life to promote her new film "Dogtown".
Therefore, in this case, the little-known Qiaoqiao has become a lot more popular, and there are many European and American female stars who came to the Cannes Film Festival this time, but the Oriental beauty is one Qiaoqiao, which can be said to be a thousand-eyed one.
What moved Kanto and Liu Ye was that outside the airport, in addition to some Chinese media reporters who were squatting, there were also some French people shouting their names.
"Motor! Motor! β
"East, East!" This is Kanto fans, they know Kanto because of "Suzhou Creek".
As for calling Liu Ye's name, it was all because "Balzac and the Little Tailor Know" knew him.
It was Ms. Elizabeth who came to the airport to greet them last time, and she was far more familiar with Lou Ye and Wang Xiaoshuai than many domestic counterparts.
Qiaoqiao was in a good mood, after all, this was her first time competing abroad, so she patiently answered a lot of questions from the media and served with a smile throughout the process.
At this time, there were many fans yelling at Kanto and Liu Ye in French, and it could be seen from that expression that they had questions to ask.
"What are they talking about?" Knowing that Elizabeth's Mandarin could reach level six, Kanto turned his head and asked.
"They're asking why Zhou didn't come." Elizabeth replied with a smile.
This made Qiaoqiao's face darken all of a sudden, and her little hand immediately tightened Kanto again, in order to declare her ownership.
Kanto smiled bitterly, and immediately hugged his wife's shoulders very doggedly, so that these fans would know that this was the original match.
But it can't be helped, whether it is "Suzhou Creek" or "Balzac and the Little Tailor", there is a beautiful figure of Zhou Xun.
According to the generation, people are seniors, and when everyone has gone abroad, Qiaoqiao still plays tricks, this is the gap, you have to admit it.
Because the previous impression of the Rotterdam Film Festival on Kanto was not good, he was not too enthusiastic about this trip.
But it wasn't until the car entered Cannes that they realized why the Festival de Cannes was called one of the top three film festivals in Europe.
On both sides of the famous Corniche, there are signs and advertisements for various movies. On the loudspeakers came music clips from previous films, and on the street you could see people of all races, all smiling, mostly frugal to attend the film event.
I heard that accommodation in Cannes is quite expensive, but because they are shortlisted films, there are free hotels to stay in, and the organizing committee's business car pulls them directly to the Carlton Hotel.
It's all about The Matrix II, and the entire wall under the hotel is filled with their advertisements, and Keanu Reeves and Monica on the faΓ§ade? Bellucci wore sunglasses and stared at me coolly.
They did not participate in the competition unit, but came to do publicity, and the overwhelming advertisements showed the tyrants and domineering of Hollywood. Tomorrow, May 17, will be the day they premiere.
But these have nothing to do with Kanto, and their first task when they arrive at the hotel is to sleep and get jet lag.
After sleeping for four or five hours, when Kanto felt that his stomach was empty and only stomach acid remained, he pulled open the thighs that Qiaoqiao pressed against him in a daze and got up.
He was washing his face when he heard a knock at the door.
"Who?"
"Open the door, robber!"
The voice is not very familiar, but it is indeed Chinese.
After opening the door, I saw Jiang Wenzheng smiling at him with a crooked mouth.
"Damn, I'm looking forward to you, brother hasn't even had anyone to talk to these days." Jiang Wen said familiarly.
Although there is no intersection, but people don't treat themselves as outsiders, and they are seniors, Kanto hurriedly said politely: "Come on, please come in, Judge Jiang, on the way, we also said, is it to bribe Judge Jiang and let him reveal some inside information." β
", come less! There is discipline in the conference, don't harm me, I am now representing the motherland. Ha ha...... Yo, Qiaoqiao is still asleep, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. β
In terms of age, seniority, and status, this is the top celebrity in China, so Qiaoqiao, who was woken up, immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, I've woken up a long time ago, and I'm about to get up." β
Because he didn't take off his clothes, he didn't have anything to hide, so he got up and went to the bathroom to wash, and Jiang Wen sat on the sofa.
Kanto found that there was more or less localism there.
Maggie Cheung, the only Chinese actress in Cannes, is married to a Frenchman.
Jiang Wen's wife is French.
He Liu Ye can be regarded as having brushed his face in France, not to mention that Ya's future wife is also French.
It is said that even Lou Ye was shortlisted this time, and a large part of the credit was Elizabeth's.
It's impossible to bribe the judges, but it's okay to let "Purple Butterfly" have incomparable exposure such as heroes and Infernal Affairs.
"Did you bring instant noodles? And mustard? Without saying a few serious words, Jiang Wen asked with a glare.
"Bring it, Zhou Xun said that there is nothing to eat in France, and we can't afford to eat French dishes. Last time I was in Rotterdam, I was able to drink enough Elden broth. Kanto chattered.
"Give me back a few bags, and I'll be hungry for this." Jiang Wen said unceremoniously.
"You're all old here, and you still lack this?" Kanto asked as he pulled out instant noodles.
"I took it, and I left it at home in Paris."
As he spoke, Qiaoqiao finished washing, Jiang Wen said at first sight: "Let's go, don't rob your instant noodles in vain, I invite you, Daguanyuan, don't be surprised, the name of the restaurant, the most authentic Chinese restaurant in Cannes." β
When I took to the streets, Kanto discovered that there were really many Chinese restaurants in Cannes, such as "Imperial Palace", "Shunfeng", "Beijing Building", "Grand View Garden" and so on, all of which were neon signs in traditional Chinese characters.
Jiang Wen tugged at him and said, "Look at this, it's useless." I've done it all, and it's either Cambodian or Vietnamese, and it's harder to communicate than to talk to the French. I can't eat that dish at all, and I guess I didn't put any other condiments except sugar. β
