Chapter 152: Cannes

"Daniel, this way"

"Hi, look here"

"This way, this way, slow down."

"Ah, Daniel, I love you"

"So handsome."

The attitude of photographers and fans can prove who is the most popular person on the scene.

"My ears." The fat bearded journalist from Hungary struggled to move through the crowd, surrounded by journalists, as if all the hundreds of media outlets in Cannes had sent someone over. Looking at the young star with a restrained smile and a decent suit on the red carpet, he couldn't help but sigh. I heard that so far, no media have interviewed him, and it seems that he will leave France after the opening ceremony and return to Los Angeles to participate in the promotion of the new film.

"These Hollywood guys are so rude."

muttered a couple of sentences, as he said, Hollywood has not had a high sense of storage in Cannes, which has something to do with the fact that the film festival is biased towards Europe, and even third world films such as Asia and Africa, and excludes Hollywood-style films. Of course, none of this qiē is absolute. Ironically, this year's opening film, Woody Allen's "Hollywood-style Ending", and the chairman of the jury is David Fincher, who has just come up with "Mulholland Drive", a famous film that few people can understand. Daniel knows both, but not with them.

Daniel, who only hurried to Cannes last night, has unprecedented makeup on his face today, and Sylm's skills are getting more and more sophisticated, which of course has something to do with the cosmetics he uses, and cosmetics companies in the United States and even around the world now want to give their new products to Daniel for trial, so even if he has thick makeup on his face, it is not very unnatural. On the contrary, it seems that the skin is getting better and better, and with the muscular figure and well-made suit that has long recovered from the state of "The Pianist" Spearman, it is not surprising that it has received the most attention on the red carpet of the Cannes opening ceremony.

Speaking of Daniel's suit, since the release of "The Fellowship of the Ring", Burberry, who he endorsed, was authorized to open a small custom brand - Elf Prince after communicating with the new line, this brand currently mainly provides Daniel with custom suits for public use, with a unique layout and is not for sale. For Burberry, of course, it was an adventure to try to cater to young people, but unexpectedly, from the native United Kingdom to the United States across the Atlantic, the brand gained a lot of popularity in a short period of time. Burberry will hold a separate show for the brand at next year's Milan Fashion Week for Fall/Winter Fashion Week, and Daniel has already received an invitation, and they even want Daniel to make the finale, but they are still working on it - walking the runway with the models requires a little confidence and courage, and if you are not careful, it will become a black spot forever. Especially for a male star like Daniel, who claims to have great taste in dressing, once he breaks the golden body, it will be a big problem. And those clothes on the runway always need a little bit of adventure.

Although everyone wants him to slow down, and the official camera of Cannes has been following him from the time he walks on the red carpet, Daniel still walks the entire red carpet in less than half the time of female stars from all over the world.

As he was about to leave the red carpet, Daniel heard some commotion from behind.

His expression froze there, so that the officials at the Cannes Film Festival who greeted him were at a loss.

Daniel can't describe what kind of affection he had when he saw Director Jia. He has collaborated with Director Jia on several films, including the last film in his last life, and then there was an accident. Years of Hollywood experience have blurred the past, and the memories that belong to the soul itself seem to have passed decades under the memory of Daniel himself. At this time, when I saw Director Jia again, I should be more at a loss for the two worlds and the sense of vicissitudes.

"Daniel?"

"Huh?" Daniel came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm sorry. ”

"That's China's Jia Zhangke, his "Ren Yao" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the film festival, do you know him?"

The official's question sentence is indeed full of questions, Director Jia only used DV to shoot "Xiao Wu" in 1998, and he has almost no reputation in China, even ten years later, his reputation came from international film festivals such as Cannes, and there are very few people in China who have seen his works, let alone at this time. This time, "Let Me Go" was selected for Cannes, which also caused an uproar in China, Chen Kaige and others were rumored to be in full swing, and finally a little-known Jia Zhangke broke into the final list.

"I've heard that I don't have much contact with Chinese filmmakers."

"Now Chinese films are developing rapidly, and there are many good directors and actors. By the way, you know that you starred in "The Fellowship of the Ring" in Guangzhou, China, and won last year's box office record, and I had a friend in Guangzhou tell me. After knowing that I was going to receive you. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, he said you're one of the deadliest Hollywood stars in China, about the same as Leonardo."

Daniel cleaned up his mood and couldn't help laughing when he heard the official's communicative words, "Gladiator" and "The Fellowship of the Ring" have quite a good box office in China, but they are too far behind "Titanic". But he's not necessarily much worse than Leonardo, it's true. This stems from the promotion of media such as NEW, as well as the team's emphasis on the Chinese market, and when many materials are handed to international media, Chinese media can often get them, rather than other celebrities, which can almost only be reprinted. In comparison, of course, in terms of exposure and real materials, they have surpassed other stars.

Leonardo also came to Cannes this time, but he did not participate in the film, so he did not walk the red carpet for the opening.

Speaking of which, this year's Cannes Film Festival can be regarded as star-studded, with Cameron Diaz, Leonardo, Juliette Binoche and Daniel Sandler, plus big directors like Woody Allen, many big names in Hollywood participated in the event. Leonardo and Cameron are visiting Cannes for Martin Scorsese's new film Gangs of New York, where they will screen a screening version. Daniel was also invited, but for now, it seems that he will not be able to stay for a week, and according to the schedule, he will not be able to make it to the screening of the film.

As the officials walked into the venue, Daniel's heart calmed down a lot, there was no need to worry about many things, now he was Daniel Sandler, let them remain in his memory.

……

Polanski looked very energetic, he and the other main creators walked the red carpet in front, and Daniel walked alone in the back, which was the official arrangement.

"I'm glad you're here."

"Of course, on the 25th, I hope I can come again."

That day was the award ceremony and the closing ceremony.
