Chapter 221: Yuan Lei
May 8, fine.
The day before the opening of the film festival, Chu Qing finally arrived in Cannes. The main thing was that his girlfriend's clothes were finished on the 7th, and it took him another half a day to match a pair of shoes.
On the mainland, Fan Xiaoye, Zhang Jingchu, Li Yu, and Cheng Ying have also set off from the capital in a group of four. Because Wang Chao did not participate in the main competition unit, there was no need to worry, and he had to leave after two days. On the Hong Kong side, Chu Qing flew with Guan Jinpeng, and there were more than a dozen people in the same company, as well as the team of the studio, as well as the temporary stylists and makeup artists he hired.
He took advantage of it, if it is included in the pile of "Lan Yu", then the cost of this trip will have to be borne by Ah Guan, and his girlfriend will be able to spend less.
No way, poor! With so many people, food, clothing, housing and transportation, plus the salaries of the two masters, a full set of film festivals is not necessarily enough for one million. In the past, Ya was a photo exhibition, but now for the first time as the owner, what kind of chatter does not cost money?
He also understands, seeing so many big and small celebrities working the red carpet, if there is no team-level foundation behind it, it is pure fun. It's sad and has nowhere to complain, and I know the warmth and coldness.
Fan Xiaoye went abroad for the first time, and he was quite nervous before leaving, what should I do if there were all foreigners over there, and I didn't know who to ask when I asked the public toilet. Chu Qing said that there is no need to think about it at all, when you arrive in Cannes, it will be the same as the vegetable market.
As early as March, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council was brewing some kind of terrorist* activities, planning to gather 220 local filmmakers to prepare to form a group to brush their faces and promote Hong Kong films.
Chu Qing was scared when he heard it, 220 people, it is good to destroy the Cannes copy group! What's even more important is that these people are not small coffees, like Cheng Long, Michelle Yeoh, Xu Laowei, Li Lianjie, Li Jiaxin, Liu Dehua, Hong Jinbao, Chen Guo...... It's all top-notch.
And the actual participation in the event did not reach more than 200 people. A hundred people are absolutely there. So there's no need to worry about it at all, it's all a chartered ten-day tour.
As for Fan Xiaoye's hotel, Ah Guan helped to get it, a double room and a small suite for three people. The location is a little far from the Cinema Palace, about 20 minutes walking. Compared to being in the suburbs, uh, nothing more than a choice. Either walk the street in a dress or take a taxi in a dress...... Well, it's sad.
The visual sense of the old hat entering the city is proper!
Chu Qing arrived for a few hours first, said goodbye to Aguan for the time being, and ran to the hotel to call the front station. packed the luggage with large bags and small bags, and took out his girlfriend's baby clothes and hung them up, and the two masters had no work, so they had to lie down and fall into jet lag.
Let's be honest. This trip is to make money on the platform of "This Summer", and nothing else is totaled. It has already been shortlisted for the main competition unit, and for that alone, there will be no shortage of buyers. But in case shit luck goes. If you get a consolation prize or something, the price will be doubled immediately.
Don't want to earn more, at least you have to get back to your roots.
He is actually quite ashamed, and he has been depressed in Hong Kong recently. Can't help, trailers for movie promotions, brochures. The big poster is all Li Yu busy working.
However, this crazy woman is born with workaholic attributes, and she belongs to the kind that gets cooler the drier.
……
In the small single room, Yuan Lei was saving manuscripts with a table lamp that was not too bright.
It was early afternoon, and it was bright, but the room had no windows, and it was as narrow as a small box, dark and stuffy.
In this year's film festival, due to the scarcity of Chinese-language films, the only mainland film is still a rookie director, which has little reporting value. Therefore, there are three media in China: an online media, a newspaper in Beijing, and Yuan Lei's unit.
Newspapers, there are fixed subsidy standards for food and accommodation on business trips, and they must not be overspended. In order to save money, she had to live here.
When it comes to the influence of domestic media, except for CCTV, which has a bit of a coffee position, other media have no right to speak in the West. For a film event like Cannes, you want to do a celebrity interview or get an exclusive story, it's just a dream. Take a stroll around the top corners, walk around the venue, and pat the tidbits or something.
A disciplined reporter can also follow the whole process and write a manuscript to report back to the company. If you don't have any discipline, you can directly translate and translate the articles of your foreign counterparts, and then revise and revise them as your own, and Bilian doesn't want it.
Yuan Lei is undoubtedly disciplined, she wants to write something, but it's only the 8th, and the stars are all in the hotel preparing to break out tomorrow, so there's really nothing to say.
"Alas......"
She held back for a while, then finally sighed, deleted the small number of words, closed the notebook, and decided to abandon today's plan.
I glanced at my watch, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, far away from tomorrow. couldn't help but be slightly irritable, grabbed his hair hard, touched his stomach again, and forgot it. She arrived in the morning, and after that, she wandered around, wrote a manuscript after shopping, and didn't eat.
Yuan Lei tidied up a little, picked up her wallet, and prepared to go out to find food. You don't have to think about Western restaurants, you don't have to think about fast food restaurants, the most suitable food is instant noodles, which are cheap and the taste is bearable. Even a senior who was sent in last year ate instant noodles for 12 days in a row, and he died in this friendship.
Full of history of blood and tears.
Her room is near the staircase, and the room is very small, so it is extremely easy to bump into people when she opens the door. Then, she really bumped into it.
"Yikes!"
The other party was very calm and dexterously avoided the key point, but Yuan Lei screamed instead, squatted on the ground in fright, and hurriedly said: "I'msosorry!" ”
"Oh, it's okay."
“……”
Listening to Chinese, she couldn't help blinking, looking up, first saw a pair of long legs, followed by an inverted triangle thin waist and shoulders, and a clear and leisurely face.
"Huh?"
Yuan Lei was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that this face was more familiar, as if she had seen it in the collection of newspapers, but she couldn't remember the name on her lips.
The other party looked at her silently, so she had to shake her hand and said, "Hey, are you okay?" ”
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." She came back to her senses.
He shrugged, said goodbye since he was fine, and turned to go downstairs.
"Hey! Chu Qing! She finally remembered and hurriedly shouted.
Ya was going to go out for a stroll, but when she met such a chattering girl, she paused, turned around and asked, "Do you know me?" ”
"Recognize! Of course I did! ”
Yuan Lei looked very excited, hurried to take two steps forward, and stretched out her hand.
"Oh, hello."
Chu Qing shook hands with her, now Cannes is full of Chinese, and it is not strange to live in the same hotel. But then, I heard the girl continue: "My name is Yuan Lei, a reporter from "Southern * Metropolis Daily", can I interview you? ”
"You, interview me?" He was extremely unsure.
"Yes, do you have time now, it won't be too long, just a little while."
"No, you're done with the interview, can you send it?" He was still stunned.
Yuan Lei grinned and said, "If you can't send it now, it doesn't mean that you can't send it in the future." I'm saving it first, maybe it will appreciate one day! ”
It's really a talking child, and it's very comfortable to listen to. Chu Qing pursed his lips and said indifferently: "There is time, but I have to go to the supermarket first." ”
"I'm going to the supermarket too, let's go, hey, what do you want to buy?"
"Uh, instant noodles."
“……”
Thirty minutes later.
Still in that small room, this time there were more people, and it was even more crowded. Their room was separated by a corridor, not far away, of course, Chu Qing considered going to his room to do an interview, but gave up in an instant.
The girlfriend is probably coming soon......
He sat on a chair, Yuan Lei sat on the bed, holding a voice recorder. This situation, except for the two people holding a bowl of instant noodles, is quite similar to Bian Zhihong's interview. But the other party feels more like the girl named Meng Jing.
He glanced at the girl opposite, with short hair, curly hair, large eyes, perhaps overworked, and obvious bags under her eyes. The room is a bit messy, the luggage is piled up randomly, and there are boxes of cigarettes on the table, not ladies' cigarettes, the kind smoked by the old men.
At first glance, she is a woman in the new era with a lot of ideas and personality, Chu Qing is not very willing to deal with such a person, she is too fierce and can't resist it.
Well, his hunch was absolutely right.
Yuan Lei asked in the first sentence: "We all know that you are blocked now, so do you hate the General Bureau?" ”
(There will be three more, everyone is in a hurry, HOHO) (to be continued......)
