777 [The Young Master's Tour of Cannes]
On May 11, entertainment journalists from all over the world gathered in Cannes to search for explosive news from directors and celebrities like an all-weather radar.
After waiting for a long time, the big names from various countries appeared one after another, and in addition to being busy, there were many reporters searching in the crowd from time to time - today's important person Wang Zijun has not yet appeared.
It wasn't until half an hour before the opening ceremony of the festival that most of the big names outside the festival palace had already entered, and the fans who were waiting here and refused to leave suddenly let out a burst of exclamation.
The reporters who were preparing for the opening ceremony turned around one after another, clamped on both sides of the red carpet and quickly pressed the shutter, and some even knelt directly on the carpet in front of Wang Zijun and filmed.
Wang Zijun came to attend the opening ceremony of the film festival with only four people with him. That is, playing the male and female protagonists Ken Takakura and Honami Suzuki, as well as Zunlong who plays the [***] official, and the last one is Wang Zijun's eldest son Lin Yi.
As for others, such as Zhang Laomou and Chen Kaige, their own "Ju Dou" and "The Child King" were also shortlisted for other units of the Cannes Film Festival, and Nicolas Cage became a popular candidate for Best Actor with "My Heart is Wild", and they were all very busy.
Lin Yi was 15 years old last month, and when Wang Zijun was filming "Holy War" last year, he also took him to Maoshan to visit Yunlaodao.
Yun Laodao is much older than ten years ago, according to himself, he can live for seven or eight years, and after chatting about it, he actually accepted Lin Yi as an apprentice.
is not an apprentice like Wang Zijun who is not even a registered disciple, but a closed disciple who passes on his mantle. From the winter vacation to after the Lantern Festival, Lin Yi stayed on Maoshan Mountain, and it took more than half a month to start school before going down the mountain.
Wang Zijun asked his son what he had learned from the old Taoist, Lin Yi spat heavily, saying that it was boring, all day long was meditating, convincing, swallowing, taking medicine, taking baths, practicing boxing, and the food was extremely light, not to mention playing game consoles, and even TV had to be watched, and he didn't want to go back. Looking at him like that, it is estimated that he was tossed miserably by the old Taoist, and with the old Taoist means, he usually can't run if he wants to.
Although Lin Yi used to be smart and had excellent academic performance, he was very playful, and he was either a pickle girl or a group of friends all day long. Last year, he was photographed by the paparazzi chasing a third-rate singer named Chen Xiumei, who was five years older than him. As soon as the scandal came out, everyone ridiculed Jun Ye as "there is a successor", and then the news that Lin Yi kept changing girlfriends before was spread again, so many people were waiting to see Lin Yi's good show of abandoning and deceiving women's feelings.
came and went, Lin Yi was pushed to the cusp, and even going to school would be blocked by the paparazzi. However, the little singer named Chen Xiumei was fired, and more than a dozen record companies rushed to sign her, and finally successfully signed a UFO record, and also took a stage name Meng Tingwei.
Lin Fengjiao was worried about his son, and finally discussed with Wang Zijun before deciding to take Lin Yi to Maoshan to find Yun Laodao. It's not to really let him cultivate, but to throw him in the mountains for a period of self-reflection.
Don't say it, it's really useful.
Lin Yi, who suffered in Maoshan, immediately changed after returning to Taipei, saying that he wanted to learn from his father to be a big director, and he didn't go out to hang out anymore, and he either followed Aunt Qingxia to the company after studying, or went to the set to find the director's uncles to teach him to make movies.
Anyway, it just means one thing: I'm very motivated, and I won't go back to Maoshan if I die.
Wang Zijun didn't force it, but only urged him to practice every day according to the old Taoist method, and let the servants bathe him every day with the precious medicinal materials that the old Taoist had collected all his life. As for the matter of returning to Maoshan, if there is an important order, it is estimated that Lao Dao himself will find Taipei.
brought Lin Yi to Cannes this time, Wang Zijun also wanted his son to have a long experience and broaden his horizons.
15-year-old Lin Yi has grown a fluffy beard on his mouth, nearly 1.7 meters tall, as tall as Wang Zijun's chin, and a set of customized suits is an out-and-out handsome little guy on his body.
"Dad, we seem to be a little late." Lin Yi waved his hand at the reporters and whispered to Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun smiled and nodded at the reporters, and replied in a low voice: "I haven't troubled you yet, where are you going crazy in the afternoon?" Make everyone wait for you. β
"I met a friend and we went to the beach for a while." Lin Yi coughed lightly and said.
Sand beach...... Wang Zijun's face twitched, and he sneered: "Your friend is a woman!" I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. β
Hearing his father's threat, Lin Yi was so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell, he begged for mercy: "It's a man, not a woman." β
Wang Zijun said: "Men shouldn't be!" β
After Wang Zijun finished speaking, he walked into the gate of the Festival Palace, leaving Lin Yi behind him with a dull expression.
However, this expression only existed for two or three seconds, and Lin Yi caught up with Honami Suzuki in three or two steps, and said to Honami Suzuki in English with a sincere and clear smile in his eyes: "Sister Honami, are you free tomorrow?" β
Honami Suzuki replied very seriously, "I'm going to do a movie promotion with Mr. Wang tomorrow." β
"What about at night?" Lin Yi asked, "The beach cinema in Cannes will open tomorrow, I heard that watching a movie in the beach cinema feels amazing, why don't we go and experience it together." β
"We'll talk about it then." Honami Suzuki responded with a smile. How could she not notice Lin Yi's thoughts? However, Lin Yi is only fifteen years old, and in her opinion, she is still a half-grown child, and she has no intention of playing sister and brother love.
Lin Yi felt Honami Suzuki's perfunctory, so he could only shrug his shoulders and follow in. He admires his father very much, and he is also a good person, thinking that this is cool and manly, but he is not really the kind of gentleman who takes pleasure in playing with women's feelings.
Walking into the hall, Lin Yi followed behind Wang Zijun and found that where his father had passed, the people who were originally sitting in the seats stood up to greet him. The people who can sit in the hall are at least first-line actors and first-class directors, and Wang Zijun's influence can be seen from the actions of those people alone.
Lin Yi suddenly felt that his previous behavior of revolving around women was really naΓ―ve, as a successful man, everyone should revolve around him.
If Wang Zijun knew what his son was thinking at this time, he would definitely slap him on the back of the head and teach him a lesson: "Only idiots and narcissists would think that the whole world revolves around him." β
Killing all the way to the front row and sitting down, Lin Yi couldn't help but look back, and found that in addition to the reporters, the people who were enthusiastic about their line just now almost no one paid attention to them anymore, and they all chatted about things, or simply closed their eyes and took a nap, as if his father Wang Zijun had never been here tonight.
What a bunch of hypocrites! Lin Yi scolded in his heart.
In the midst of Lin Yi's complaining and scolding, the host of the opening ceremony finally came out, and it was actually a lewd middle-aged man with a big belly, which was quite unpopular with Lin Yi, and he thought it would be a French beauty.
This obscene middle-aged man is actually a star actor in France, who has a lot of influence in France, but it's a pity that Lin Yi doesn't know anything at all.
Lin Yi has been patiently listening to this lewd man's nagging for more than five minutes, listening to it drowsy, the middle-aged man's French is like a piece of in his mouth and can't swallow it, which is really disgusting.
Finally, after all the nonsense, the lewd male host finally invited the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Most of these judges are world-famous directors and actors, but the last one to appear is Lin Qingxia.
In addition to being the vice president of Wang's Pictures, Lin Qingxia is now also working part-time as the general manager of Wang's Film Company, and Wang's Cinema has long been handed over to others to manage. Most of the movies released by Wang's Pictures now, and their producers are written with Lin Qingxia's name.
Last year, when Wang Zijun was filming "Holy War", Lin Qingxia didn't know which way to be crazy, so she actually became a director herself, filmed a literary film, won three trophies at the Golden Horse Awards, and went to several major European film festivals to make an appearance, and came back with two inconspicuous consolation prizes.
I don't know what the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival thinks, maybe because Lin Qingxia leaked her face last year, and she is Wang Zijun's wife and vice president of Wang's Pictures, this year's Cannes Film Festival actually invited Lin Qingxia to be a judge.
Among the aunts in the family, Lin Yi has the best relationship with Aunt Qingxia, and when she saw Lin Qingxia coming out, she couldn't help but raise her hand and wave it lightly on her chest, and greeted Lin Qingxia on the stage with a smile.
A few people sat in the front row, Lin Qingxia saw it at a glance, and also smiled at Lin Yi.
"Now, I would like to solemnly introduce a director who still holds the highest box office record for a film, and this time he came to Cannes with a film that has been in production for two whole years. He is," the host paused, smiled and stretched out his hand to the audience, and several cameras suddenly turned their cameras to point to Wang Zijun, "He is, Zachary?" King! β
Wang Zijun stood up, turned around and beckoned to the back, and sat down again, his face unshocked. On the contrary, Lin Yi, who was sitting next to his father, was very excited when he saw his father being specially introduced by the host.
For Wang Zijun, this is just an opening ceremony, there are still so many days ahead, and if he is excited now, the award ceremony will be very exciting.
The opening ceremony lasted about half an hour, followed by an hour-long opening film. When they walked out of the festival palace, they were already surrounded by a group of reporters. Lin Yi realized that the paparazzi he met in Taipei were really not enough, Nima, there were at least hundreds of these reporters, and their eyes were blinded by flashing lights.
After dealing with the reporter, Wang Zijun turned around and asked his son, "How do you feel?" β
Lin Yi replied: "It's tiring to be a celebrity. β
