Gong Li liked this cheongsam very much, but Lin Youlun couldn't persuade her to wear this dress to attend the opening ceremony of the Cannes film industry. The dewy part.

Lin Youlun looked at Gong Li, Gong Li still looked a little nervous, biting her lip, and nodded hesitantly for a long time.

The next day, Xie Jin rushed to Hong Kong from the mainland, and after meeting up with Lin Youlun and Gong Li, he flew to France together.

Cannes is a coastal city in the south of France, blessed with sunshine and sea, and is a good leisure destination in itself, and every year during the festival, on the famous esplanade and nearby beaches, beautiful girls with dreams of stardom gather here, looking forward to the discovery of the biggest names in the film industry and talent scouts.

Lin Youlun and his entourage arrived in Cannes the day before the opening of the film festival, although the film festival has not officially started, but the influx of tourists and media reporters from all over the world has filled the streets and alleys of Cannes with the lively atmosphere of the film festival.

In an open-air café on the side of the street, Li Hanshen, Xie Jin, Lin Youlun and Gong Li each occupy a seat at a round table under the umbrella.

"This year's president of the jury is Koons? Tatintino, who is said to have reached a consensus with the members of the jury, one award for one film. Li Hanshen is the judge of the film festival this time, but he is not in charge of the main competition unit, he came to Cannes as early as a week ago, and he has a clear understanding of all aspects of the news.

It has always been an unspoken rule of major European film festivals that a film cannot win two awards, and the practice of "sitting in a row and eating fruits" can keep most of the participating filmmakers from returning empty-handed. It was a happy outcome. But for Lin Youlun. This is not good news.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was shortlisted for both the Palme d'Or and Best Actress, and according to this rule, there will be a dilemma of choosing one or the other, and although the outcome of the award is not up to them, this choice is still a headache.

The Palme d'Or is the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and its significance is not trivial; The Best Actress is not only an important honor for Gong Li, but also helps her solve the development dilemma in the mainland, and it is also an important step for Lin Youlun to build Gong Li into an international movie star.

If you have to choose one of them. Lin Youlun hopes that Gong Li will win the best actress, no matter how big the impact of the Palme d'Or is, after all, it is only for one work, but the title of Cannes actress has more lasting benefits, from the perspective of cost performance, a popular actress must have more long-term value than a popular movie.

However, Lin Youlun's ambition this time is more than that.

"Has there ever been a special case in history where there have been multiple awards?"

"Yes, yes, but the probability is very low, on average, it will only occur once in seven or eight years." Li Han pouted and said. The jury of the Festival de Cannes is based on a jury of up to 10 jurors from all over the world who are invited to form the main competition each year, and these judges are not necessarily filmmakers. Literati, musicians, philosophers, psychologists, and historians have all been in Cannes to guide the country, which has led to an extreme jump in the style of the Cannes jury every year. There is no unity or coherence. A large part of the judging power of the film festival is in the hands of the chairman of the jury, and if the chairman of the jury has a special appreciation for a certain film this year, the situation of "eating two chickens" will not appear.

Lin Youlun clasped his hands, and then asked: "How much influence does media opinion have on the jury?" ”

"It's almost zero, and it could even be counterproductive." Li Hanshen guessed Lin Youlun's mind at the first time, "The excessive propaganda of the media often causes the rebellious psychology of the members of the jury, so the films that are particularly favored by the media during the film festival will often fail at the film festival." ”

Because there is no pattern to the awards, the Cannes awards have always been unpredictable, and it is already remarkable that the best director, screenwriter, actor and actress can be judged by one, not to mention the Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize.

The media can't do it here, and Lin Youlun can't think of more ways to influence the jury of the film festival for the time being, and the only thing he can do now is to wait.

——

After tasting an authentic French meal outside, not long after returning to the hotel, Li Hanshen suddenly hurried over and found Lin Youlun directly.

Li Hanshen and Lin Youlun did not live in a hotel, and it was less than an hour since they separated after dinner, and his sudden visit made Lin Youlun a little confused.

Fortunately, Li Hanshen didn't plan to go around the bend, and he didn't even have time to drink saliva when he entered the door, so he excitedly said to Lin Youlun: "Mr. Lin, I just received the news that this Cannes Film Festival will be attended by big people." ”

"Big shots?" Lin Youlun looked at Li Hanshen with a puzzled face.

As a famous director of the Shaw Brothers era, Li Han's scenery has not been seen in those years, and the person who came this time can be worthy of his excitement like this?

"It's Princess Diana, and she and Prince Charles will attend the opening ceremony of the film festival tomorrow night, which is the first time that the British royal family has participated in such an event as a film festival!" Li Han told all the news he heard in one breath, thinking that Lin Youlun would be as excited as him, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to just sigh softly, and then there was no follow-up.

Princess Diana and Prince Charles will selectively meet with a group of filmmakers after the opening ceremony, and Li Hanshen's idea is based on this, but Lin Youlun has no interest in it.

Hong Kong will return to the motherland in ten years, and Lin Youlun has no need to have a relationship with the British royal family at this time, but Li Hanshen kept nagging in his ear, Lin Youlun really had no choice, so he said: "I dare to say that Princess Diana will definitely divorce Prince Charles within ten years!" ”

Li Han's two lips just now were still like a croaking machine gun, but now they are like machine guns jamming, and they are silent.

Lin Youlun's remarks were too shocking, if these words came out, they would definitely cause an uproar, if it weren't for the only two of them in the room, Li Hanshen would definitely pounce over and cover Lin Youlun's mouth.

Rao is like this, Li Hanshen's eyes are still wide, looking at Li Hanshen's expression, Lin Youlun had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously." ”

Li Hanshen breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he finally determined one thing, Lin Youlun was not interested in the British royal family at all, and thinking of the outside world's statement about Lin Youlun's pro-mainland position, Li Hanshen seemed to understand something.

Lin Youlun really has no feeling for the British royal family, and the Cannes Film Festival is not held in the United Kingdom, and the attention of the media is attracted by Diana and Charles, two people who "play soy sauce", which has a lot of obstacles to the implementation of Lin Youlun's plan.

Seeing Li Hanshen away, Lin Youlun knocked on Gong Li's door.

When Gong Li opened the door, she was still wrapped in a pink towel on her head, and she was damp on her body. Wet moisture, apparently just out of the shower, the white shirt on the body is very transparent, and the black wipe worn inside. The chest looms.

was glared at by Gong Li, and Lin Youlun withdrew his gaze in disdain.

Gong Li blocked the door of the room, but she didn't plan to invite Lin Youlun in, if someone else saw Lin Youlun entering and leaving her room at this point in time, it might lead to some misunderstanding.

"It's so late, Mr. Lin still has something to do?"

Lin Youlun glanced around, "This is not the place to speak. ”

Gong Li bit her pink lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally let go.

Lin Youlun walked into Gong Li's room and saw the cheongsam that Gong Li was going to wear at the opening ceremony tomorrow hanging on the hanger next to the sofa. After Gong Li closed the door, she snatched two things from the sofa before Lin Youlun came in. chest and a black lace panties.

Lin Youlun smiled, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he turned his gaze to the side.

After Gong Li cleaned up, Lin Youlun sat down on the sofa, and Gong Li sat on the edge of the bed carefully, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Lin Youlun.

Lin Youlun told Gong Li the news that the British royal family would also attend the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, and Gong Li was surprised, but she didn't understand what it had to do with her.

"Princess Diana is very beloved by the British people, and at the same time she is also highly regarded internationally, she appeared at the opening ceremony of this Cannes Film Festival, and the media reports about the opening ceremony will definitely make her the focus of the report, and it will be more difficult for other stars who attend the red carpet to attract special attention from the media." Lin Youlun glanced at Gong Li's cheongsam hanging on the hanger, and continued: "But there are pros and cons to this matter, the arrival of the British royal family will also bring more attention to the opening ceremony of the film festival, tomorrow's red carpet is your first appearance in the world, you must show a twelve-point state, leave a deep impression on the overseas media, which will be of great help to your future development." ”

Diana's arrival has indeed brought greater popularity to the Cannes Film Festival, the most intuitive manifestation of which is that there are many more reporters waiting in front of the red carpet of the Palais du Cinémath than in previous years, and people speaking different languages have gathered together to look forward to the arrival of this film event.

The opening ceremony started at the normal time, but for the stars who appeared at the beginning, the media reporters on both sides of the red carpet did not arouse too much interest, everyone thought that the protagonist of tonight would only be Diana, so they refused to waste film on other stars.

For the sake of travel safety, the time of the British royal family's appearance was not disclosed to the media in advance, and a wave of stars walked by on the red carpet, and just when the media was bored, a tall girl in a dark green sexy costume appeared on the red carpet, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
