Section 409 Before departure

Before verse 409 comes out

Jeon Do-yeon's invitation came a week later, ten days to be exact, on May 13, Lee Kyung-won will join the crew of "Miryang" and fly with them to France to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, which opens on the 17th.

The Cannes International Film Festival is an international film festival and film award held by France in 1939 in the southern city of Cannes, revived after World War II and expanded in the same place. It is one of the most influential film festivals in the world, and together with the Berlin Film Festival in Germany, the Venice Film Festival in Italy, the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, and the Karlovelli Film Festival in the Czech Republic, it is known as one of the five major film festivals in the world. Together with the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Moscow Film Festival in Russia, it is known as the world's four major art film festivals.

Although there is also an award ceremony at the film festival, and the award ceremony is also an important part of the film festival, from the perspective of the process arrangement of the entire film festival, it is still very different from an awards party like the Oscars.

To put it simply, the Oscars are only for one day, or only one night, and they don't show movies at the time of the awards, they don't have time to communicate, they just make a simple evaluation of the participating films.

The festival will last for 11 days, during which there will be six events: "Official Competition", "Directors' Fortnight", "Un Certain Gaze", "Critics' Week", "New Look of French Cinema" and "Side Market Exhibition". In addition to the "Official Competition" unit, which focuses more on awards, some other units actually focus on the promotion of films and the communication with filmmakers.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere of communication that the Cannes Film Festival is slightly more leisurely than Oscar night, and there is not so much tension, and it is precisely because of this feeling that Lee Kyung-won is full of expectations for this trip. You have to know that he is a person who does not like pressure very much, or the relaxed and romantic atmosphere of Cannes is the most in line with his hobby.

Full of anticipation for the trip, Li Jingyuan will naturally take the initiative to do some homework in advance, and in the past few days, he has collected a lot of information about this film festival on the Internet, and now he is interested in a lot of things.

First of all, this film festival is exactly the 60th edition, such a number, whether in the eyes of Chinese or foreigners, is a very memorable number. So in order to celebrate Cannes' 60th birthday, 35 internationally renowned directors from 25 countries and regions collectively created a film, including Chinese directors Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Wong Kar-wai, Hou Hsiao-hsien and Cai Mingliang, the film is called "One Movie for Everyone", and each director spends 3 minutes to tell a story. The film will be screened in Cannes on May 20, and 35 directors are invited to meet the audience.

Seeing the news about Chinese filmmakers, Li Jingyuan, who has a Chinese heart, will naturally be more interested, and then he will find more Chinese elements.

In this year's film festival, the Chinese who went to Cannes included Maggie Cheung as the judge of the competition unit and Jia Zhangke as the chairman of the jury of the short film unit. Director Li Yang's new work "Blind Mountain" after "Blind Well" was selected for the "Un Certain Regard" unit. Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Red Balloon" became the opening film of the "Un Certain Regard" section. In addition, the five directors Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark, Kwan Jinpeng, Ann Hui, and Stephen Chow will also appear in Cannes together to announce the preparation of their new Chinese films.

There are nothing else, Li Jingyuan's eyes immediately focused on Maggie Cheung, Tsui Hark, Stephen Chow, these familiar names, as long as you have watched Chinese movies, you will never know these names, especially people of Li Jingyuan's age. Before he was reborn, he was also extremely familiar with these names, especially Stephen Chow's movies, which can be said to be Li Jingyuan's favorite.

Although I don't know if Lu Dao will really be able to see Stephen Chow at that time, Li Jingyuan is still looking forward to it, he has already decided now, and when he arrives in Cannes, he has to find some way, not to mention meeting Stephen Chow, at least asking someone to help find an autograph is indispensable.

Li Jingyuan didn't reveal the matter of going to Cannes to too many people, but just told some of his close friends, and also notified Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong, the eldest brothers, after all, as soon as he left like this, it would last at least a week, and if he didn't notify him in advance, the filming of those variety shows would be in trouble at that time. ,

After hearing Li Jingyuan's news, these big brothers patted their chests without saying a word, and let Li Jingyuan go to France with peace of mind, and they will handle everything here, of course, in return, Li Jingyuan must still bring some souvenirs back. Jiang Hudong is so good that he can bring some French delicacies back, but Liu Zaishi is different, and the things he asks for are more troublesome.

Like Lee Kyung-won, Liu Jae-seok is also an authentic movie fan, and during the low ebb of his career in that decade, he didn't just watch small colored movies, but more often watched Hong Kong movies. At that time, it was the most prosperous period of Hong Kong films, and countless good movies were born, and Liu Zaishi was fascinated by these good movies.

After watching so many Hong Kong movies, Liu Zaishi has naturally become a loyal fan of Hong Kong movie stars, from Chow Run in "The True Color of Heroes", to Jackie Chan in "Drunken Fist", to Stephen Chow in "Journey to the West", they are all Liu Zaishi's idols. Especially Stephen Chow, his funny way has been seriously studied by Liu Zaishi and used as a sample for him to hone his funny skills.

Such Liu Zaishi, of course, will not focus on French food like Jiang Hudong, and his request to Li Jingyuan is actually what Li Jingyuan wants to do, that is, to ask him to help find Stephen Chow for an autograph, if possible, it is best to add Tsui Hark's, of course, it would be better if he could get Maggie Cheung's signature.

"In Brother Shi, I can only say that I will try my best to help you get an autograph, but there is no guarantee if you really have the opportunity to get it." Hearing Liu Zaishi's words, Li Jingyuan replied with a smile, to be honest, he really doesn't know if he can do it.

You must know that everyone has something to do when they are at the film festival, and they will not wait there for you to ask for an autograph all the time, so if you want to get an autograph, you really have to look at the opportunity. And Li Jingyuan also knows that his current identity as a South Korean is not so simple to get close to those Hong Kong filmmakers, although he can speak fluent Chinese, which will make those Hong Kong filmmakers have a good first impression, but whether people really have time to talk to him is still unknown.

"I know the way, I know the way, anyway, please you." Yoo Jae-seok rarely showed an expectant expression on his face, which is the kind of fans' expectations for idols, and seeing him like this, Lee Kyung-won laughed again.

"Brother Shi, if I really help you get an autograph, do you want to repay me a little?" Seeing Liu Zaishi like this, Li Jingyuan's joking mind came again.

"Okay, that's what you say, as long as my brother and I can do my best, I will never refuse."

"It's very simple, in Brother Shi, when will I bring my sister-in-law out to meet together, I and the other brothers have long wanted to officially get to know my sister-in-law." Li Jingyuan said his request with a smile.

What he said is the truth, Liu Zaishi and Luo Jingen are now boyfriend and girlfriend, this is something that everyone knows, but so far, Liu Zaishi has not officially introduced it to everyone, so if everyone accidentally meets Luo Jingen on the TV station, it is not easy to say hello, for this matter, everyone doesn't know how many times Lu Dao has complained about Liu Zaishi, but this big brother is too shy, so he has always been embarrassed to introduce Luo Jingen to everyone as a girlfriend, Li Jingyuan is also taking this opportunity now, so that Liu Zaishi has no way to excuse himself.

"Well, well, as long as you can do me this favor, I'll give it away." After Liu Zaishi listened to Li Jingyuan's words, he paused slightly, and finally agreed. He also knew that his character was more hesitant, so this time was also an opportunity to make his decision with the help of Li Jingyuan's request.

"Ha Luha, that's good, I'm going to inform the other brothers, and everyone will get together when the time comes" Without saying a word, Li Jingyuan began to call, seeing his hot appearance, Liu Zaishi wanted to stop it too late, so he had to sigh helplessly.

In fact, everyone knows Luo Jingen, but if they want to meet this time, Luo Jingen's identity will be different, this change in identity will definitely make these members of "Infinite Challenge" come out and talk about things, Liu Zaishi is worried that after these guys get together, Luo Jingen may not be able to stand the 'warm' 'welcome' atmosphere.

After receiving Li Jingyuan's call, all the members were very happy and excited, and while praising Li Jingyuan, they gossiped about Liu Zaishi, which made Liu Zaishi a little crying and laughing.

After the notices arrived, Li Jingyuan and Liu Zaishi discussed it, and the time of this party was set for after Li Jingyuan returned from France, and all the unchallenged members would participate at that time

"Hehe, Brother Shi, if you bring your sister-in-law to a party with us, then you will definitely get married soon, with those brothers present, your relationship will definitely develop quickly, they are masters of piercing window paper, how about it, do you want me to help you bring some good things from France to give to your sister-in-law?"

"Hehe, it's okay, you can do it, anyway, I'll rest assured that you can do something, just help me bring some good things back." When Li Jingyuan said this, Liu Zaishi laughed, and he still looked a little shy, but he still nodded.
