Chapter 266. Cannes red carpet
Half an hour later, Chen Xuanting came to the company's specially prepared classroom for Bao'er and saw that Bao'er was taking vocal lessons.
As Lee Jae-ha reported, Boa is having fun. Seeing her intoxicated with the fun of learning, Chen Xuanting couldn't bear to break this beautiful atmosphere for a while, he stood quietly outside the door, listening to Bao'er singing the classic song of Hong Kong Anita Mui in Chinese - "Like Water Flowing Years".
"Looking at the sea, full of tiredness, no tears and no words, looking at the sky, I only feel that my feelings are chaotic, my heart is like a small wooden boat, and the vista is gone, but I am still facing the past, who dominates my life, I struggle every day, and the sea of people sighs in my heart like water, and I can't keep yesterday's ...... years."
As everyone knows, Anita Mui's classics should start with this song "The Year Like Water". Anita Mui's personal image designer packaged her as a "man", and the suit and pony-style vest gave people a very heroic feeling, and the public generally accepted her new image, leaving a deep impression. And Kitaro's "Like a Year of Flowing Water" has become a classic that Anita Mui can achieve in a certain aspect. And this time, under the interpretation of Quan Baoer, it has a different taste.
Unconsciously, Chen Xuanting, who was standing outside the window, was immersed in Bao'er's singing, as if he was on a vast and boundless sea, except for the blue sky, white clouds and the faint sadness, there was nothing.
"Uncle!"
As a result, it was Bao'er who discovered him first and called him, and he reluctantly woke up from this beautiful artistic conception.
Chen Xuanting walked into the classroom, and after a little talk with the vocal teacher, the vocal teacher left. Leaving Bao'er and Chen Xuanting in the classroom.
"How? Listen to Lee Jae-ha, you have had a good time during this time, and you are enjoying it. ”
Boa said, "yes, I think it's fun." But how can you get away with it? ”
"Am I free? I'm almost exhausted, you don't know how hard it is to be in charge of the TV station and the SM company. Chen Xuanting said bitterly.
"Hehe, who made you the boss!"
"As if you were glad that I had been sinned."
"Of course!"
Chen Xuanting saw Bao'er's happy face and felt that the heat was almost over, so he said, "Then Bao'er, do you think we are good friends?" ”
"Of course it is, you're my good uncle!"
"Well, if you are a friend, you should be blessed and share hardship!"
"Should!" Boa nodded.
"You're so righteous!"
"That's it!"
"Since you're so moralistic, then studying for fourteen hours a day isn't a problem at all, right?"
Bao'er nodded habitually, "Of course!" ”
"Good! I remember you for your righteousness! Here's the timetable I've drawn up for you, starting tomorrow, I have something to do now, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow. After Chen Xuanting finished speaking, he hurriedly slipped out of the classroom.
Behind him was Bao'er's scream, "You liar! ”
Chen Xuanting, who had already left the classroom hundreds of meters away, silently recited the Diamond Sutra as if he had heard nothing, and quickly left the scene.
………………… The development of South Korea made Chen Xuanting very happy, but what made him even happier was that just when he was about to spend a perfect Christmas in South Korea, there was good news from Hong Kong, the literary film invested by Thunder Pictures, "Farewell My Concubine" starring Leslie Cheung was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival in France!
Leslie Cheung and Chen Kaige lived up to his expectations, and "Farewell My Concubine" was successfully shortlisted for many awards including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture and other important awards. It's a pity that because several actresses have outstanding performances this year, Gong Li did not get the final nomination for Best Actress.
This good news made Chen Xuanting completely excited!
If you say how much money Thunder Pictures makes now, it is numb to Chen Xuanting, and more importantly, his company's films must be recognized by the world!
At this time, Chen Xuanting completely understood why so many film companies in his previous life would lose money to make literary films, not for anything else, just for a name!
After arranging the work in South Korea, Chen Xuanting didn't dare to greet Bao'er in person, but told her over the phone that he was leaving South Korea. Bao'er cried on the phone, Chen Xuanting could hear it, and she cried very sadly. Chen Xuanting couldn't bear it anymore, so he said, "Would you like to go to Cannes with me?" ”
Quan Bao'er was stunned for a moment, and almost shouted on the phone: "Willing-!" ”
Chen Xuanting smiled.
Letting Bao'er go to Cannes with him is not a sudden whim of Chen Xuanting, but in his opinion, an international stage like Cannes is the easiest to train people, and if you want Bao'er to have a superstar style earlier, these are all necessary.
The next time, Chen Xuanting took Bao'er, accompanied by Jin Huiya and Luo Dakui and others, to the airport, and turned his head to look at South Korea, which had entered winter. Step into the cabin.
Outside it started to snow heavily.
Located in the south of France, Cannes is a famous tourist destination, but it is the Cannes Film Festival, which is the annual festival of Cannes, which is the top of the three major film festivals in the world.
Monaco is not far from Cannes, although the time is a little tight, Chen Xuanting is still ready to take a plane here and join the crew of "Farewell My Concubine".
Seeing his brother Leslie Cheung, Chen Xuanting smiled and stepped forward to hug him. The two haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Obviously, my brother's condition is much haggard. It may be caused by staying up late during filming.
Chen Xuanting asked him about his physical condition with concern, and asked him to open up for everything, and it was best to check his body regularly to prevent depression.
Leslie Cheung felt funny when he saw Chen Xuanting's mother-in-law and mother-in-law's concern for his body, as well as his depression, but he felt Chen Xuanting's sincere concern, and he was very moved.
After hugging Leslie Cheung, Leslie Cheung introduced the heroine Gong Li, the actor of the overlord Zhang Fengyi, and the director of this play, Chen Kaige, to Chen Xuanting.
Chen Kaige met Chen Xuanting for the first time, but he knew everything about Chen Xuanting, and knew that he was currently the youngest billionaire in the world and the richest man in China!
And this time, "Farewell My Concubine" was successfully filmed, all because of the support of others, so I am very grateful in my words.
After Chen Xuanting exchanged a few words with him, he introduced Quan Bao'er, who was full of curiosity and looked around behind him, to them, saying that this was a newcomer he wanted to cultivate. Then he turned the topic to "Farewell My Concubine".
Under Chen Kaige's description, Chen Xuanting probably learned about the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" in Cannes. As a shortlisted film, "Farewell My Concubine" has been released in Cannes two days ago, and the cinema is almost overcrowded.
If the film's appeal to so many audiences is due to a number of off-screen factors, including the world-famous popularity of China's first film with the same surname, the reaction of viewers who watched the film live is indicative of its artistic success.
Speaking of this, Chen Kaige could not hide the pride on his face. It's no wonder that almost everything he is proud of has won the unanimous approval of the audience and the praise of the experts. The design of the plot, the operatic style, the epic and spectacular scenes, and the profound themes, all of which fascinated many people who watched the film, as Chen Kaige expected. In the eyes of many people, this film is just like its name, a dream of Peking Opera, but for the audience, it is a beautiful dream. This can be seen from Chen Kaige's description of the enthusiastic response of the audience at the screening site.
After listening to Chen Kaige's narration, Chen Xuanting still showed reserved excitement, but just smiled faintly. It's impossible to be too flamboyant as a boss. But in his heart, he was really happy and was about to jump.
As the most influential film festival in the world, Cannes is a star-studded night, with countless well-known films from all over the world.
However, even on this starry night, Chen Xuanting, who came to Cannes as a behind-the-scenes investor, overshadowed many big stars among the many stars who lit up the night sky of Cannes and became the most shining one. Maybe it's not just about his achievements in film, but who cares?
Every year, the Cannes red carpet is a grand fashion show, which is the perfect stage for stars to show themselves, and it is also the most talked about part of Cannes every year. The stars who were able to walk on this red carpet have done everything they can to attract the attention of the media and increase their public influence.
Compared with those celebrities who dress up, Chen Xuanting, who thinks that he is not the protagonist, is much more low-key.
But even so, when Chen Xuanting and the others arrived at the main venue, the reporters who heard the news had already surrounded the main venue.
Like the stars holding the moon, Chen Xuanting stood in the middle, holding Quan Baoer's little hand, on the left and right were Leslie Cheung and Gong Li in "Farewell My Concubine", and then on both sides were director Chen Kaige and actor Zhang Fengyi, in addition, some of the company's senior executives who participated in the Cannes event were also accompanied by him and appeared on the red carpet in Cannes.
In a flash of camera, Chen Xuanting, who was surrounded by people, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
Compared with Chen Xuanting, Leslie Cheung who followed them was almost ignored, so Leslie Cheung couldn't help jokingly saying: "With you, I have become a superfluous figure." ”
Reporters' attention to Chen Xuanting is understandable, Chen Xuanting is now world-famous, and he is full of legends, not to mention anything else, just to say that he entered Hollywood before, spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and single-handedly founded the Thunderbolt Film Company, which is comparable to Light and Magic, and turned his head to compete for the Cannes film industry with the film he made, which is enough to be regarded as an unprecedented miracle.
So when Chen Xuanting led the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" to the red carpet, those impatient reporters had already surrounded them, and overwhelming questions followed.
