Chapter 162: Closing the Net (I)
The Europeans treated the ritual differently from the Oriental lavish rituals, but different from the American simplification. The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival should be evaluated as simple and decent. Honorary Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival. After Cohen's speech, the five members of this year's jury took the stage.
Not many media outlets were allowed to enter the venue, except for a group of people from CCTV, and only Penguin, which had paid a lot of money for tickets, was allowed to enter. As soon as Uncle Han, the representative of the Chinese film industry, appeared, the flash lights under the stage immediately lit up, Leonardo stood beside Han Shanping, smiled and said something to him, and the photographer from CCTV reacted quickly to capture this detail, so that there would be one more piece of news tomorrow.
After a brief speech by the jury members in English, the festival's executive chairman, Joe Brown, said that the festival's executive chairman, Joe Brown. Sifo finally took the stage and announced the activities of this year's film festival. From start to finish, the opening ceremony only took about 40 minutes.
The opening ceremony was followed by the opening film of the festival.
The lights are turned off in turn from the back to the front. Everyone in the venue consciously turned off their mobile phones or turned them on silent. The photographers who were carrying the machine put down their heavy tools and sat down in the designated position, slightly relieved.
When the whole audience was dark, the logo of Berlinfilm was displayed on the huge IMAX screen.
Michelle, the big fat man sitting next to Ivan, grinned triumphantly, and was able to win the opportunity to show the opening film at this big film festival, even his father and grandfather had never achieved such an achievement.
Of course, this is also thanks to Ivan's last artistic outburst before retirement.
The fat man turned his head to look at Ivan, and saw that the old guy was full of tears, and his body trembled slightly.
However, Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing looked calm.
What heights a person can reach can basically be seen from his attitude towards fame and fortune. To give a simple example, if a poor bastard starts to get sick after earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in a certain year, then the highest achievement of this guy in this life can only stay at the level of hundreds of thousands.
Wang Kefan really doesn't care at all, with his ability, if he is ruthless in his career, no matter which profession he does, it will be hellish if he can't be the first in the world. A mere nomination for a technical award at the Cannes Film Festival can be regarded as a start to his film career at best.
The opening credits were quickly broadcast.
When they saw the name Nomoogen in the cinema again, Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing just smiled at each other, no longer with the excitement of watching the premiere in Germany more than a month ago.
I've watched the film many times, and although I feel bored, it's inconvenient to get up and leave at this time. So Wang Kefan began to pay attention to the audience's reaction.
The audience's performance did not disappoint Wang Kefan, and for two long hours, the audience maintained a solemn attitude.
However, to Wang Kefan's surprise, at the end of the film, the applause of the audience lasted for more than 2 minutes.
"It seems that Europeans really have feelings for films about World War II!" Guo Yujing explained the reason in one sentence.
Wang Kefan nodded, glanced at Ivan, who was receiving congratulations from a group of people around him, and said, "Let's go first, there is another visit." ”
Guo Yujing snorted, looked up from a distance, and saw Jingwei and his party standing in the distance waving to them.
As the crowd walked out of the venue, Jingwei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and said to the two of them: "Professor Wang, Miss Guo, we have rented a room nearby, shall we record after dinner, or will we record again tomorrow?" ”
"Let's record it in the evening, I have something else to do." Wang Kefan said.
Jingwei nodded, ordered the group to disperse first, go to eat separately, and handed over the guy in his hand to the assistant, but followed Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing away.
In the Chinese film circle, Jingwei can be regarded as a wrist, she has experienced many big battles, standing next to Guo Yujing, she does not fall behind in her aura.
The three of them found a French restaurant nearby that couldn't be more authentic, and chatted while eating.
"Miss Jingwei, how do you know my surname is Guo?"
Faced with Guo Yujing's question, Jingwei replied with a smile: "It was the director of Santai who told me. ”
Guo Yujing nodded, and Wang Kefan asked again: "I heard that Director Haiwen is not going to participate in this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala, right?" ”
"Yes." Jingwei said, "Listening to the wind, I mean that I plan to invite Uncle Zhao or Director Feng to do it, but Director Feng seems to be a little unhappy." ”
"Uncle Zhao......" Wang Kefan remembered the shoehorn face, and said a little happily, "Is it possible to watch a sketch all night?" ”
"Who knows." Jingwei sighed, "Anyway, now it seems that whoever takes over the Spring Festival Gala will be scolded, and the current netizens have too heavy tastes." ”
Wang Kefan knew it in his heart and smiled silently.
After that, the topic revolved around the gossip of Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing. Anyway, they weren't recording a show, and seeing that Jingwei was able to ask energetically, Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing answered very generously.
When Jingwei heard Wang Kefan say that Guo Yujing did not hesitate to buy Yuzhou TV Station to cause a broadcast accident in order to cut off his acting career, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and his face was full of surprise.
The three of them chatted while eating, and the meal took more than two hours to finally end. When I got back to the hotel, it was already around 9 p.m.
The large suite that the hotel was rented had already been furnished.
As soon as the three of them returned, they could start work immediately.
With the lens and lighting, Wang Kefan was much more careful when he spoke.
Guo Yujing did not appear on camera, but just stayed quietly on the side, patiently waiting for Wang Kefan to call it a day.
I just asked enough about the longitude and latitude of gossip, and after touching up my makeup, I returned to the usual atmosphere and seriousness of the CCTV host.
"Professor Wang Kefan, I think that the most concerned question for Nomookin fans all over the world, especially those in China, is whether you and Nomookin are the same person, can you answer me positively?"
"Absolutely." Wang Kefan said, "I am Nomo Oujin." ”
Jingwei showed an exaggerated expression and asked, "Why do you use this pseudonym?" ”
"Actually, it's not a pseudonym." Wang Kefan calmly explained, "The German name Nomoou Jin is actually taken from the pronunciation of the English literal translation of my Chinese name, Wang is king, the German pronunciation is 'gold', Kefan literally translates as normal, pronounced Nomoo, so from the beginning, I have told everyone that the post-80s Shaolin abbot should be no stranger to the 'writer advertising incident' a few months ago, because for this reason, I was hidden by the original agency and could not get any performance opportunities." That's when the director of "The Beast Tamer" saw my ad and asked me to be his assistant and help him edit the film. ”
"I didn't expect to be nominated for the best editor of this year's film festival?" Jingwei interjected at the right time.
"Yes." Wang Kefan smiled lightly and said self-deprecatingly, "It can be said that it is a blessing and a curse, because of those advertisements, I was abandoned by domestic sponsors and listeners, and it was also because of advertisements that I got a chance to be reborn." ”
"And what's going on with those singles of yours?"
"One day Director Ivan suddenly asked me how much I would be paid every day, and I jokingly told him that if I was working at full speed, he would have to pay me 10,000 euros a day. Director Ivan was very strange at the time, so he asked me why, and I told him that I was a first-class singer in China, and if I spent all my time in concerts these days, I would earn at least one million yuan a day. ”
"Does Director Ivan believe it?"
"Of course he didn't believe it, so I made a bet with him that I could sing the theme song of his movie better than the original."
"He's betting with you?"
"Yes, he took me to the studio, and I sang to him. It so happened that the composer of this song was also there at the time, and after singing it, Mr. Borg, the boss of Borg Records, approached me and wanted to work with me. ”
Jingwei couldn't help but nod and said, "It's really a very complicated experience. As she spoke, she continued to ask: "Then will you switch to making movies or continue to make music in the future?" After all, your current support in China is still questionable, and so far, it seems that no company is willing to ask you for endorsement. Especially now, when you tell everyone that you are Nomookin, do you think Nomookin's songs will still be as popular as ever? ”
Wang Kefan said: "For anyone who engages in literature and art, morality is actually a very boring standard. Artists, or at least artists, entertainers, there is only one condition for them to stay in the public eye for a long time, and that is the work. And the work, in turn, depends on ability and diligence. I happen to be short of both.
Whether Nomo Oujin can continue to be prosperous, the market will give the answer, whether Wang Kefan can turn over the salted fish, and the market still has the final say. What's more, the so-called 'advertising incident' is simply a slander against me, as early as a month ago, Landi Advertising Company has filed a lawsuit with the Tangcheng City Court, accusing the Tangcheng Industrial and Commercial Bureau of serious dereliction of duty, I think it will not be long before the law will give me justice. ”
The topic is a little sensitive, and Jingwei is very alert and hurriedly changes the topic.
"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and I think justice will eventually stand on the side of justice." Jingwei said perfunctorily, and quickly asked, "Professor Wang, are you confident in winning the award this year......
The interview lasted until 12 o'clock in the evening.
Wang Kefan and Guo Yujing stood at the door of the room and shook hands with Jingwei to say goodbye.
Coming out of the hotel, standing on the picturesque streets of Cannes, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the bright lights of Monaco in the distance, Wang Kefan pondered for a moment, and said lightly to Guo Yujing: "Let Meng Yao say hello to Guan Liangwei over there, and say that he can be promoted." ”
Guo Yujing held Wang Kefan's hand and asked softly, "It's going to be over, right?" ”
Wang Kefan nodded and said with a smile: "I will start singing on stage tomorrow, and I will earn the bride price money next year." ”
Guo Yujing chuckled: "I've seen someone who gets on the bus first and then makes up the ticket, but I haven't seen you who can't afford to make up the ticket when you get on the bus, my family's bride price is not cheap." ”
"How much?"
"It doesn't matter what the money counts."
"What's that?"
"In terms of time, can you bear it for a lifetime?"
Wang Kefan turned Guo Yujing's body, looked at her crystal eyes, and leaned over to kiss her rosy lips.
