Chapter 43: Glory is tasteless
After two days and one night of the journey, Chen Yongren and his entourage finally arrived at the beautiful coastal town of Cannes, where the white sandy beach, white buildings, blue sea, and rows of tall and green palm trees constitute a gorgeous Mediterranean scenery. ”。
Zhang Manyu was rejoicing in her heart when she heard this, but she heard Chen Baisheng snort coldly and said angrily: "Mr. Chen had better pay attention to what he said, what kind of messy activities?" It's a big event in the world of cinema, and the locals love their hometown, so it's going to be a big problem for you to hear that! ”。
Chen Yongren froze, touched his nose, coughed dryly and asked Chen Xunqi: "That...... Where do we go next? ”。
Chen Xunqi said: "Let's go to the Festival Palace to report first!" He pointed in one direction and said, "There is a special ...... for people attending the festival."
Chen Yongren looked at it, but his eyes were black, his English level was only two and a half levels at most, and he could simply say hello to people, and he really couldn't recognize what the signs meant.
Zhang Manyu grew up in the UK and has a deep understanding of European culture, so she slowly explained it to Chen Yongren......
Guided by a foreign devil, Chen Yongren and his party came to a six-story huge building, guessing that it should be the world-famous Cannes Film Palace, which is also the main venue of the film festival, waiting in the hall for a while, the tour guide came to Chen Yongren and his party with a few foreigners, and said a lot, and then Chen Xunqi also grunted back, Chen Yongren admired this, because he knew that Chen Xunqi was not only proficient in five Chinese, but also lip language and sign language. I can say anything that is silent, I can understand both spoken and silent words, I know kung fu, I also know music, I have good driving skills, I can act, and I am still a director......
Zhang Manyu saw Chen Yongren's expression and whispered: "This gentleman said that he was the person in charge of VIP reception at the film festival, his name is Crowle, he said that we came a little late and missed something, and at the same time invited us to the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow, and he asked you ......."
Claure stretched out his hand to Chen Yongren and smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chen, your youth really surprises me!" ”。
Chen Yongren understood the first half of the sentence, shook hands with Crowll and replied: "Nest Mi lost the rabbit, that ...... Lose Crowle! ”。
Claure was stunned for a moment, and laughed and talked with Chen Xunqi again, and after a while, he took a few people to a hotel, Chen Yongren finally breathed a sigh of relief, flew in the sky for a day and a night, and sat in the car for a long time, he was too tired to do it, and he entered the hotel room and lay directly on the sofa in the living room, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Chen Xunqi: "By the way...... Why is Editor-in-Chief Chen missing? ”。
Chen Xunqi said with strange eyes: "I left on the way to the Festival Palace, saying that I was going to find a friend and greet you for a long time, and you and Ah Yu are talking and laughing and ignoring others!" ”。 Chen Yongren ignored Chen Xunqi and turned to Zhang Manyu and smiled: "Ah Yu, you stay with me!" Otherwise, I don't know what to do when someone comes......".
Zhang Manyu blushed when she heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about?" As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chen Xunqi; The latter shook his head and sighed and left first. Seeing this, Zhang Manyu also walked out, but was stopped by Chen Yongren, and the former immediately said urgently: "Ah Ren, it's really not good, can you give me some more time?" ”。
Chen Yongren looked surprised and said, "What did you say?" I just want you to stay, the two of us must sleep in separate rooms, you ......" said with a wicked smile: "Where do you want to go?" ”。
Zhang Manyu's face flushed, grabbed a cushion from the sofa and smashed it towards Chen Yongren, and then walked into the master bedroom of the guest room and closed the door with a shout of "sleepy".
On the third day, the film festival committee sent someone to a few people to do a few simple looks, and walked side by side with Zhang Manyu on the red carpet of the opening ceremony, Chen Yongren felt bored, and his face was depressed; I was a little excited before I came, but when it came, I felt that I didn't have any energy at all! I really don't understand why those celebrities love to walk the red carpet, they are noisy around, and they can't hear clearly, let alone understand, and they stand in the middle like monkeys and look around, ...... Lao Tzu will never walk the red carpet again!
"Ah Ren......" Zhang Manyu shouted.
"What's wrong?".
"It's the people from Movie Weekly who came ......."
"It's coming, it's coming, isn't that Chen Baisheng coming with us?"
"It's not...... It's "Movie Weekly" under the boss, not "Movie Fortnightly"! ”。
"Huh?" Chen Yongren raised his eyes and looked, sure enough, it was a group of reporters with oriental faces, and when he came to greet Zhang Manyu with a long gun and a short cannon, Zhang Manyu was at a loss, and Chen Yongren was at a loss, letting the wind blow from east to west, north and south around him, he leaned his head on Maggie Cheung's shoulder, closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Mr. Chen, you didn't have a good reputation in the Hong Kong film industry before, are you lying on your salary to try your courage?" "Sing Tao Daily" asked.
"Mr. Chen, why did you go to Cannes with Miss Zhang Manyu? Are you dating? Oriental Daily asked.
"Mr. Chen, are you confident that your film will win the award? If you win the award, you will become the most successful and youngest filmmaker in the Chinese film industry, how do you feel? I am Zhou Changwen, a reporter from Ming Pao."
"Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from Cheng Pao ......."
"Mr. Chen, I am a reporter for Movie Weekly, and I would like to ask ......."
……
After nearly twenty minutes, everything around was quiet, and Chen Yongren opened his eyes and said hazyly: "Finished asking?" Then get out of the way! ”。
A group of journalists collapsed en masse, what is this really people? We've been dry for a long time, and you've gone to sleep with you?
Dong Chengpeng, a reporter from Oriental Daily, asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this?" Consciously become a big director and look down on us little reporters? ”。
The other people around him were also talking, their faces were ugly, Chen Yongren suddenly made a disgusting and nauseous action, leaned on Zhang Manyu and said weakly: "I'm sorry!" Ladies and gentlemen, I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and now I am coming to ...... Cough...... Cough...... When I first arrived in a foreign country, I may not be accustomed to the water and soil, and my body is really unwell, please forgive me and let me live, otherwise if I die young, I will be buried in a foreign country, and I will be a ghost...... will also be angry and regret for life! Cough...... Ahem......".
Everyone was dumbfounded, but they couldn't tell whether it was true or false, and saw Zhang Manyu concerned about Chen Yongren with a worried face, the latter's eyes were cloudy and he couldn't stop coughing, so he had to get out of the way and watch the two leave......
The "Ta Kung Pao" reporter muttered: "This Mr. Chen can compete in Cannes when he directs films at a young age, but now he looks like a thin life...... Could it be that he is really jealous of talent? ”。
"Isn't it! We flew all the way here, and we went straight here without resting, but we didn't get any news? ”。
"No! I think this Mr. Chen seems to be the one who made headlines with Chengyulian two months ago, which is also news; And now that she is with Zhang Manyu again, she has already gained something! One of them answered.
The reporter of "Film Weekly" was not angry. "You people from "Cheng Pao" are also interested in this, and they are only concerned about these miscellaneous things, and the real theme is whether Hong Kong films will be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. Only one Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan have succeeded here before, and the current director is only 20 years old, is this an earthquake for the Chinese film industry? ”。
"Damn...... Then you continue to wait for the answer to the topic! Anyway, I don't seem to be able to ask anything, so I'll send the news back first! ”。
"I'll go ......".
Dong Chengpeng looked at Chen Yongren's back suspiciously, he had been tracking Chen Yongren for a while, and he also had a deep understanding of him, of course he didn't believe in nonsense such as being weak and sick, he Chen Yongren was becoming more and more interested......
Hong Kong TVB, Fang Yihua listened to the voice on the phone and shouted: "What? Zhang Manyu is also there? What's going on? ”。
After a while, he hung up the phone and dialed another number to answer the channel: "Brother Tianlin, can you let Ah Xiang come to me?" I have something to do with him......".
