Chapter 329: A Bottle of 86-Year-Old Beer!
When it comes to Cannes, any Chinese movie fan will be no stranger, because there are even more domestic special reports on Cannes than the Oscars, mainly because the Cannes Film Festival is always closely related to the stars we are familiar with, starting from Lao Mouzi's "Ju Dou" in 1990, Chen Kaige won the Palme d'Or in 1993, "Alive" in 1994 made Ge You the Cannes actor, in 1995, Lao Mouzi won the Cannes top technical general, in 1997 Wang Jiawei won the best director, until Jia Zhangke won the best screenwriter in 2013, The frequent appearances of Chinese people at the Cannes Film Festival make China look forward to the Cannes Film Festival every year, and even the Cannes Film Festival is wiped out if there are no Chinese films shortlisted.
Not to mention the judges, from Gong Li in 1997 to Jia Zhangke in 2014, the frequency of Chinese people on the Cannes jury is not less efficient than winning awards, which even makes some leaders in China regard the Cannes Film Festival as a base, and will lead a team to Cannes almost every year to investigate, and domestic movie stars, big names, and directors also regard the Cannes Film Festival as a secondary market for film exports.
In all the domestic entertainment programs during the Cannes Film Festival, there will always be some people in the domestic entertainment industry who run the red carpet in Cannes, if you can't see the Chinese when you walk the red carpet one year, I'm afraid that fans and gossip fans will feel that something is wrong, like a shortcoming.
Take the 65th Cannes Film Festival as an example, Cheng Long, Li Bingbing, and Fan Yiyi appeared one after another, and the most interesting thing is that Yang Mi was actually expelled by the security guards when she was still walking the red carpet. Of course, this is what the media said, and later some media interviewed the stylist who was on the scene at the time. Asked what was going on, the stylist said that the Cannes Film Festival has its own rules, and stars must wear formal clothes and walk the red carpet with invitations in hand. And you can't stay too long, that is, you can't stay longer when the stars behind you have already surpassed you...... Well, that's the rule that all red carpet walkers know, but Yang Dami's explanation is, 'I don't know wow, I've been working all afternoon.'" This is a temporary notice from the company'.
Uh, it's embarrassing.
In fact, the Cannes Film Festival is a very traditional film festival for the French. Even the reporters had to wear black suits, black leather shoes, and ties, after all, they were dealing with French celebrities and artists from all over the world. The formal attire of male artists includes traditional costumes and suits. For example, the Tang costume worn by Cheng Long has never gone wrong, and the same is true of Fan Yi's evening dress. Although the Festival de Cannes has strict requirements for any star who attends the festival, doesn't that mean that you have agreed to someone's request if you are willing to come? So why not inquire before then?
Yang Mi was expelled from the red carpet There was a lot of trouble, and then the Chinese media specifically asked the stylist at the time to ask about the rules of walking the red carpet in Cannes in order to disgust Yang Mi, and the stylist said that many stars and celebrities who go to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time will first hire local stylists who often participate in movies to design the styling and explain the rules of Cannes, when walking the red carpet. Celebrities make their first appearance after stepping on the red carpet and pose for the media to take pictures. And this time is best not more than 15 seconds, if you are still there after half a minute, there will be a security guard to alert you.
When Shao Yingying flew from Hollywood to France, he already felt that he was going crazy, and Harry Sloan hired a local stylist for him, this stylist was nothing, and he didn't mean to look down on the Chinese big names, but that very girly tone and the shape of having to bring out the orchid finger when speaking made Shao Yingying want to punch him - uh, I have to explain, this stylist is a man, and he is still a very, very handsome man. Otherwise, Shao Yingying wouldn't have wanted to kick the stylist when he personally measured his waist with his hands, which really gave people goosebumps all over his body, but you couldn't say anything.
It was easy to get up until the stylist measured Shao Yingying's size, he finally had free time, and now there are still a few days before the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, and at this moment, Shao Yingying's phone is about to be blown up by domestic artists.
"Xiao Shao, you're also in Cannes, aren't you? It's been a long time, so I'll make an appointment to meet in two days. This is a call from Cheng Long, who is promoting at the Cannes Film Festival with the crew of "Zodiac".
"You're in Cannes too? Come and help me see my evening gowns inspired by Chinese porcelain. This is Fan Bingbing, who will not be left behind on any large occasion, and this time, she chose an evening dress inspired by porcelain.
In addition, Li Bingbing, Yang Mi, and Lou Ye have all arrived, if they walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, it is estimated that these Chinese stars alone will be able to practice a Chinese style on the red carpet, which is dizzying.
At night, Shao Yingying invited Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Jackie Chan and all the artists he knew to the banquet hall of the hotel to have a big party.
At this moment, footsteps sounded downstairs, and a figure that Shao Yingying couldn't imagine arrived!
"Shao'er?" When the shout sounded in the banquet hall, Shao Yingying glanced back, Jiang Wen!
Shao Yingying really didn't expect Jiang Wen to come, so he asked, "Why are you here?" β
Jiang Wen responded: "Where are they? He said to Shao Yingying: "Can I not come?" I didn't watch the last time you picked up a bear in Berlin, and I don't have to come and see it this time, because it's the first time you're back to Cannes, and you have to have an acquaintance to help you run. Don't worry, I didn't come by myself, I was reluctant to spend so much, it was Wang Jinghua who invited us to come and cheer for you at public expense, and the company contacted the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival, and we walked the red carpet with you. β
"You guys?" Shao Yingying glanced at the door.
Jiang Wen replied: "We came in a group, and we cheered for Boss Shao plus publicly-funded travel, and as soon as this matter was decided, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun, and Ning Hao signed up collectively." β
"Can you get a piece?" Shao Yingying was a little skeptical of this, these are all busy people, and it is not easy to get this group of people together.
"I've heard for a long time that you're going to participate in the film festival, but we don't know which awards you can be shortlisted for, so we discussed setting aside time."
Feng Xiaogang's voice came from the door: "You should hurry up, did your mother bind your feet when you were a child, you have only walked a few steps, you see you are panting." β
"What's in the way of you if you don't wrap your feet, what's the matter, if I wrap my feet, what do you plan to marry me?"
Rumble.
As soon as Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo appeared, the atmosphere of only one table in the banquet hall was quickly detonated, and when they looked back, Wang Shuo and Feng Xiaogang were panting while arguing, and said with their mouths buried: "Why are you going to go so fast, why are you planning to get Shao Yingying to give you a salary increase first?" β
Jiang Wen also stood there and laughed.
Shao Yingying hurriedly arranged: "Waiter, according to the dishes on our table, we are coming to one table, and the two tables are combined." β
Wang Shuo looked at the table and said, "Yo, caviar, black truffle, foie gras, you will enjoy it, if you come to a bean skin and roll green onions in it, how beautiful it will be in your mouth......"
Shao Yingying couldn't hold it back, and suddenly no one laughed and couldn't sit up straight. It is impossible for Wang Shuo, a cultural hooligan, not to eat these things, he is the habit of talking in the old capital, whether it is to harm others or self-harm, he has to have baggage when he speaks, and if no one laughs when he speaks, it will be said in vain.
After a while, the two tables were brought together, and the celebrities sat on the edge of the table without the slightest 'star spirit', just like their own kang, Feng Xiaogang also played away, and shouted at the waiter: "Today, our boss has a treat and brings me a bottle of 86-year-old beer." β
It's a shame that the waiter didn't understand, otherwise it would be troublesome.
βWHATοΌβ The waiter came out with an English that anyone in the world can speak, and Shao Yingying explained: "I'm sorry, we're joking, we can bring the wine up, and we'll do the rest ourselves, we'll call you if necessary." β
Wang Shuo scolded there: "Don't show your cowardice, what kind of place is this?" Big hotel, don't talk about 86 years of beer, you just don't have to look for last year, if you want me to say, you just let him find a mineral water bottle to give you some tap water. β
Cheng Long seemed a little unaccustomed to it, but he laughed when he heard that they were happy on their side.
When the laughter fell, Jiang Wen felt that his face was numb, and these people were happy to get together, but they also had to do business, and said: "Shao, I have to tell you a few things, although this Cannes Film Festival is a jury award, the threshold is getting lower and lower, but this award is still very cautious." In recent years, there have been many films in our country that have won the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, but after winning the award at the Cannes Film Festival, there are fewer and fewer films that have won international acclaim, but more and more Chinese stars have come to Cannes. We don't take the Cannes Film Festival as an award now, the director brings the actors to the film festival, it is to sell the copyright, the female star walks the red carpet, no matter how much money is spent on clothing, styling, and bags, this is all rewarded, and after returning to China, there must be some endorsements who will pounce on them, come to Cannes, you can't spend a lot of money, and there is no benefit, right? β
"So, I have to give you a vaccination, there is no award at the Cannes Film Festival, there is nothing, and if you win the award, you may not be able to make any waves internationally, isn't it even Oscar-winning Marion Godia's "Rust and Bone" starring at the festival this year? This means that Cannes has become a place of publicity, not a place for movies to make a name for themselves, and you have to be prepared. β
Cheng Long understood that Jiang Wen was talking about Shao Yingying's movie "Twelve Years of Being a Slave" that had shrunk at the box office some time ago.
Click, click.
At such a critical moment, the sound of high heels slowly approaching sounded, and Shao Yingying raised his head and was stunned...... (To be continued......)
