206 [The beginning of the scandal]
"Feng Jiao, what do you think of me?" Wang Zijun put on a suit that was ordered in Taiwan and straightened the knot around his neck.
Lin Fengjiao looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at the bow tie that seemed to be a little crooked, so she stretched out her hand and pulled it, and exclaimed: "You are the most handsome man in Cannes." ”
"Haha, it's a little wet, but I like you to say that." Wang Zijun stroked her soft face, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Then you are the most beautiful woman in Cannes." ”
Lin Fengjiao looked outside weakly and reminded, "Be careful, don't let them see it." ”
"It's fine." Wang Zijun hugged her and kissed her on the red lips. Lin Fengjiao is in Wang's company, because of her hard work and sincerity, and her mouth is very sweet, so her popularity is better than Lin Qingxia. If Chen Kunhou and others really found out about the intimate actions of the two, it is estimated that no one will say anything.
Although the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are not so obvious now, it is common for directors to have sex with actors, or bosses to have cheating with female employees. Regardless of whether Wang Zijun has done it or not, in some people's speculation, I am afraid that he has already done it.
"Ahem!" Lin Fengjiao was lost in a wet kiss, her fragrant tongue was intoxicated with her lover's tongue, and she was suddenly awakened by a cough.
"Pervert!" Zhao Yazhi glared at Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun shrugged helplessly, a little headache about how to explain to Lin Qingxia.
With Lin Qingxia's surname, if you know it, there are only two results, one is to quit directly, and the other is to show the carriage and Lin Fengjiao to rob the man. If Wang Zijun hadn't slept with her, it is estimated that she would choose the first option, but now, it is likely to choose the second option.
"Boss, you're handsome today." Wang Zijun walked out of the door, and Bai Muyang complimented.
Today, Wang Zijun is going to the red stall to walk the catwalk, and Bai Muyang took the rest of the people to re-set up the booth in the morning to attract more attention, the purpose is naturally to see if the price of the film can be raised a little more.
After lunch, Wang Zijun and Li Jinghao got into a taxi, and the two went to the Festival Palace together.
Today, the festival palace is crowded with people inside and outside, and countless directors, stars, reporters, and fans constitute a noisy and lively world.
With the arrival of stars one by one, many fans shouted the names of their idols.
Wang Zijun stayed in the rest area for a while, and soon saw that his female companion on the catwalk was actually the blonde and blue-eyed beauty director Garcia who sat next to him by the film critic Zhou Zhou.
Garcia's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Zijun, and he smiled: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to be together again." ”
"yes." Wang Zijun echoed that this year, it seems that in addition to himself, there is only one other Asian, and the director also came to walk the carpet, and the people of the film festival naturally will not let themselves go in hand with a bad old man.
Garcia was wearing a white floor-length dress today, revealing a small half of her round breasts, and a dazzling diamond necklace around her neck, which was radiant. Matched with Wang Zijun's white suit, it looks like a couple.
Wang Zijun sincerely admired: "You are very beautiful today. ”
"Yours are handsome, my little handsome man." Garcia laughed.
It didn't take long for the red carpet catwalk to begin, and as the first pair of stars appeared, flashing lights in the distance.
"That's American actor Gian Carlo. Giannini and Canadian actress Angelia. Bowman. After Garcia knew that Wang Zijun was not familiar with these stars, he took the initiative to introduce him.
"Giannini, we love you!" The fan group suddenly pulled up some banners, it seems that this guy's popularity is not low.
"Hey, little one, finally seeing you." An old man with white hair came over and greeted Wang Zijun. Claire.
Wang Zijun had only heard of his name, but he didn't know the old guy himself, Garcia looked at Wang Zijun a little confused, and said in a low voice: "This is Rene. Galair. ”
Wang Zijun hurriedly made a smile when he heard this, greeted him and hugged him: "Master Galaire, thank you so much." ”
"No thanks, you should be in the main competition. Damn Gabry! Claire cursed.
Another old man next to him said, "Hey, Claire, it's not good to speak ill of people behind people's backs. ”
Claire disagreed, retorting, "I've heard you speak ill of me more than once, bastard. ”
"Old fellow, do you owe a beating?" Gabby said unpleasantly.
"Am I afraid of you? I crawled out of hell at the Battle of the Marne, and I had to fight and let my horses come. Claire hooked.
"I'd love to teach you a lesson." Gabbrey said that he was about to come up and make a move, but was quickly stopped by the person next to him.
Wang Zijun and Garcia both looked at the two old men in their seventies and eighties in amazement, these two are too windy.
"Director Gabby, it's your turn." The staff said suddenly.
"You're lucky, or you'll be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth." After Gabri finished speaking, he took the hand of a young female star and walked towards the red carpet.
"Come on, coward!" Claire shouted at Gabry's back.
Wang Zijun looked at Claire's old naughty behavior, completely speechless.
After about a quarter of an hour, it was finally Wang Zijun's turn to play. He held out his arm, Garcia's arm passed through the crook of his arm, and the two walked down the red carpet smiling.
There are endless handsome men and beautiful women at the film festival, but most of them are actors. And Wang Zijun, the young director combination, murdered a lot of reporters' films as soon as they appeared.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he and Garcia, two new directors, were able to come to the catwalk, and the film festival also has all aspects considered.
Compared with yesterday, now that there are many big names here, Wang Zijun's newcomer Wang halo is much dimmer, and reporters basically pay attention to the relevant personnel of several popular movies.
Wang Zijun and Garcia posed a few poses to facilitate the reporter to take pictures, while answering the reporter's interview.
After entering the award hall, Wang Zijun didn't know much people, so he didn't run around, and Garcia didn't seem to like socializing, so the two sat down next to each other and chatted without a word.
"Hey, Wang, I heard you sing well." Garcia said.
"How do you know?" Wang Zijun asked rhetorically.
"I have a friend in Hong Kong and she's a fan of yours. Haha, she said she loves you to death, especially the song "youre_beautiful" you wrote. She wants to be your lover, but unfortunately she doesn't have a chance to meet you. Garcia laughed.
"Uh, my pleasure." Wang Zijun said.
Garcia asked, "Do you want me to get you in touch?" When Tracey was in college, she had a lot of suitors. ”
I'm afraid there are a lot of lovers, Wang Zijun added a sentence to her heart.
"Forget it, I have a lot of shortcomings, and I don't want to ruin my image in the hearts of fans." Wang Zijun said.
"Oh, what downside?" Garcia asked.
"For example, machismo, traditional old-fashionedness, etc." Wang Zijun said, "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for French women with feminism to tolerate this." ”
"That's not a problem." Garcia Road.
"Okay." Wang Zijun gave his contact information in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and said helplessly, "Miss Garcia can come to me with your friends next time she comes to China, and I will definitely be a good host." ”
"That's settled." Garcia said, "I heard that the Great Wall of China is very majestic, and I must see the Great Wall next time I go to China." ”
Wang Zijun smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you will have to wait for ten years." ”
"Why?" Garcia asked.
"Because the Great Wall is in Chinese mainland, and foreigners there will be considered imperialist spies if they do not enter in a diplomatic capacity." Wang Zijun said.
"Oh, it's horrible." Garcia said, "When I was in college, I watched Godard's "Chinese Girl" (about a French girl with a completely Maoistic mind, not a real Chinese girl), [***] Everything in China is very good. ”
"Yes," Wang Zijun said, "at least it looks like that." However, I think that no matter what doctrine you believe, traditional ideology and culture are the cohesion and essence of a nation, and if you lose these, you will lose your soul. ”
The French have always admired freedom, and dissatisfaction with reality has made some French people somewhat left-leaning, or at least sympathetic. Of course, they are not like the Red Army, so crazy that as soon as Mao Taizu shook hands with Nixon, they felt that their idols collapsed and queued up to commit suicide one by one.
Garcia didn't know what was going on on the continent, but he just had a good impression of it. The two chatted for a while, and then talked about Chinese culture.
"I know, there is Confucius in China." Garcia imitates the Chinese pronunciation of Confucius.
Wang Zijun said: "That was a great thinker. However, his ideas have been distorted countless times over the millennia, and it has become a tool of rule and revolution again and again, and even has some religious tendencies. If the great Confucius had come back to life, he would probably have been angry to death. So, if you want to know about Confucius, it's best to read his original works first. ”
"Really?" Garcia said, "I'll try to learn Chinese." I read the French version of "Chu Ci" and heard that it was a collection of poems by China's greatest poets, but I felt very strange. ”
Wang Zijun rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you like Rimbaud's poetry?" ”
"You know Rimbaud too?" Garcia's eyes lit up, "He is the greatest French poet of the last century!" ”
Wang Zijun said: "If you read the Chinese version of Rimbaud's poetry collection, I am afraid you will also find it strange, this is a problem in translation. Ancient Chinese has only a few words, and it takes hundreds or thousands of words to translate into modern languages. How outrageous do you think ancient Chinese poetry, which is concisely worded, translated into foreign languages? ”
"Oh, the amazing Chinese culture." Garcia sighed.
The two chatted happily back and forth, and after chatting, they talked about movies and songs, not paying attention to who won the award on stage, because tonight's awards had nothing to do with them, and both of them were just pulled off the catwalk.
However, the intimate behavior of the two of them whispering head to head from time to time was photographed by reporters.
The awards ceremony ended quickly, and the award-winning films did not change in the slightest because of Wang Zijun, a reborn person. However, when Wang Zijun and Garcia went out, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Miss Garcia, are you in a relationship with this Director Wang?" This is clearly a reporter for a gossip magazine.
Wang Zijun and Garcia rolled their eyes in unison and explained, "We are just ordinary friends. ”
"Miss Garcia, what is your impression of Director Wang?" The reporter changed the direction of the inquiry.
Garcia is seven or eight years older than Wang Zijun, but he doesn't have Wang Zijun's old way of dealing with reporters, so he fell into the trap right away: "Very good, very handsome, handsome, and talented, I think many women will be fascinated by him." ”
Garcia said that his college friend liked Wang Zijun, but was distorted and understood by the reporter: "Miss Garcia, do you mean that you are fascinated by Director Wang's demeanor?" Are you openly showing him your affection? ”
"Oh, no......"
Before Garcia finished speaking, the reporter pointed the question to Wang Zijun: "Mr. Wang, Miss Garcia said that she has a good impression of you." You had a very intimate conversation just now, how long have you been officially dating? Was it love at first sight? ”
If he were in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wang Zijun would hate such reporters very much. But in France, why not have them help hype?
Wang Zijun smiled: "Miss Garcia is very charming, with all the advantages of a French woman, I like to talk to her, but she and I are just ordinary friends now." ”
"Do you mean to go after Miss Garcia?" The reporter asked.
Wang Zijun said noncommittally: "This is what you said, I didn't say it." ”
"Click......" immediately became another flash of light.
After the two of them passed through the crowd, Garcia came back to his senses, looked at Wang Zijun with a smile and asked, "You deliberately answered like that?" ”
Wang Zijun shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, so that Garcia didn't know whether he was expressing helplessness or acquiescence. This kind of scandal is helpful for the improvement of the fame of the two, but the director is not an actor, no matter how famous you are, you have to make a good film, otherwise no one will buy your account.
...... "Angela, great job!" In the office of the editor-in-chief of Positif, a balding Frenchman looked at Angela's article and reconfirmed, "Is it really an exclusive interview?" ”
Angela nodded and said, "Yes, sir, although reporters from other media have heard some news, ours is definitely an exclusive interview." How about you look at this photo as a cover? ”
Angela pointed to a photo of Wang Zijun holding the trophy alof.
"Very good, just use it." The balding editor-in-chief threw the picture on the table and shouted, "Go to work and kill the Movie Manual!" ”
Although "Positif" sold well, its qualifications were older than "The Movie Manual". But from the editor-in-chief of the "Film Manual" to the film critics below, there are many great directors, and even there is a special name called "Film Manual" in French New Wave films, which is impossible for most magazines to do, and it is simply the French film bible.
And "Positif" magazine, at most, can only think of some ways from sales to see if it can overwhelm "Movie Manual".
The day after the end of the Cannes Film Festival, major French film and entertainment magazines reported on the closing of the Festival, but most of them were dominated by the winning films in the main competition. In particular, "Scarecrow", which won the Palme d'Or, its director and actors became the covers of major magazines.
Philip and Emma, a couple from Paris, were about to buy a few movie magazines to flip through on the train back, but they ...... "Oh hell, the content is the same." Philip flipped through the pages everywhere, and they were all the same reports, the only difference may be that the film critics in the magazine had different signatures, but the length of the report was focused on "Scarecrow". Even if it is not the main report on "Scarecrow", it is about the winner of the Grand Jury Award or the best actor and actress.
But Philip and Emma were tired of watching these movies and stars a few days ago.
"Hey, honey, come over and see what this is." Emma shouted with a magazine.
"Oh, Positif is crazy," Philip read the contents of the cover, "and how dare they use the winner of the Critics' Weekly Award as a cover, aren't they afraid that they won't sell?" ”
Compared to the winners of the main competition, the content of Critics' Week's appearance in other magazines is just a passing touch, and not many people pay attention to those young directors.
"Just buy it." Philip said and bought a copy of the "Film Manual" by his last name.
It doesn't take long to get from Cannes to Paris by train, maybe just close your eyes. After Philippe got on the train, he first looked through the "Film Handbook", even though the content is roughly the same, but as the "Film Handbook" of the French film bible, the writers of each article in it are all film masters, and the level of writing is naturally different from that of ordinary magazines.
Emma, on the other hand, had to hold the "positif" to read it.
This oriental director is very charming, Emma looked at the photo of Wang Zijun holding the trophy on the cover, and subconsciously looked for the catalog to flip through his interview.
"From Street Gangster to Rising Star Director - The Beautiful Metamorphosis of a Butterfly"!
Looking at the title, Emma's face was a little strange, how did the articles in "positif" magazine get closer to gossip entertainment magazines, movies are serious things.
Bored left and right, Emma looked at it patiently, and the more she watched, the more surprised she became, and at the same time she found it interesting.
Anyway, during the interview, Wang Zijun and Bai Muyang added oil and vinegar, and the content of the article was even more outrageous. first said that Wang Zijun's father fought bravely on the anti-fascist battlefield, and was the prototype of a soldier who broke out at the end of "Bloody Lonely City", and said that Wang Zijun entered the gang to resist the extortion of bad students in the senior class. Teaching oneself music composition and watching movies while being a gangster is a typical example of hard work. What a patriotic march to get shot, how successful his films, novels and songs were.
And the most important premise is that all the success he has achieved is through his own efforts. Most of the people who buy magazines are ordinary people, and they will naturally regard a self-made successful person as their own kind, and even take pride in it and hail it as a civilian hero.
Reading the whole article, Emma only felt that the aura on the Chinese director's body was constantly magnifying in geometric numbers, shining so brightly that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Honey, I think you can take a look at this." Emma said to Philip.
