The news that the film "Eternal Red Face" won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival was quickly transmitted back to China through radio waves and faxes, and the domestic mainstream media and film and television entertainment newspapers did not hesitate to launch overwhelming publicity reports, and suddenly the whole country was boiling, and people were full of expectations for this film that won the International Film Award for the last time in the history of Chinese film.

Liang Zijin, Bai Xiaoyi and Li Da are infinitely beautiful in Cannes, France, although they have not yet returned to China, their popularity is already booming. In the evening, Higgins held a grand celebration reception for Zuo Jiang and his party, with the award in hand and the successful cooperation.

At the press conference held at the Elysee Palace, the French presidential palace, Youji suddenly asked: Mr. President, what do you think of the withdrawal of American films and the three awards won by Chinese films? Mr. President pondered for a moment and said: "The Cannes Film Festival is a fair play film festival, and I very much appreciate the spirit of the Organizing Committee for upholding justice!" Although he did not put forward his opinion on the three awards won by Chinese films, he undoubtedly expressed his attitude from the aspect of appreciating the work of the main committee, and the three awards won by Chinese films are the result of fair competition and are expected by everyone!

A word of appreciation from the president is enough! When Rigelme saw the news on TV, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Higgins's casual idea made the French president so appreciative of the Cannes Film Festival, which is the biggest reward for him to do so. This is a good start, and he is confident that he will be able to see the President of France in person at the Cannes Film Festival in his lifetime!

Eight years later, in 1997, at the 50th birthday ceremony in Cannes, French President Jacques Chirac flew from Paris to Cannes to congratulate him. It was the first time in Cannes' half-century history that a president had arrived. The festival committee has finally fulfilled their long-cherished wish. At the age of 83, Mr. Rigelme, supported by his grandson and granddaughter, attended the ceremony as an honorary chairman for life. I was received by President Chirac and listened to Mr. President's greetings! But that's all for later.

In Zuo Jiangdi's memory, the movie "Eternal Red Face" was attended at the Cannes International Film Festival three years later. I remember that it seemed to be the Best Foreign Language Film Award at that time, but I didn't expect that the film festival had never set up the award for Best Foreign Language Film, and he not only thought to himself a little self-deprecatingly, did he confuse other film festivals with the Cannes Film Festival? However, at that time, "Eternal Red Face" only won one award, which is affirmative. This time, he was surprised to win three awards at one time, although the butterfly's wings could not change the general trend of history, but the subtleties still changed because of this!

Originally, Zuo Jiang wanted to treat the members of the crew and let them tour France, but the Ministry of Culture and the China Film Association successively urged them to return to China, saying that a grand celebration ceremony would be held in Beijing to celebrate their achievements. Such. Zuo Jiang had to give up this idea. Let Liang Zijin and them return to Beijing at the required time.

Zuo Jiang did not deliberately cover up when he acted in France, but he had to keep a low profile when it came to domestic affairs. Lu Yuanzhi, director of "China Film News", saw that Zuo Jiang had treated them so generously, and wanted to be an investor of "Eternal Red Face". publicized him and the company in the newspaper, but Zuo Jiang refused without hesitation.

Although Liang Zijin, Li Da and others tried to invite Zuo Jiang to return to Beijing with them to participate in the celebration, Zuo Jiang refused, and asked them not to mention the sponsors, and if they had to make it public, let him say according to the Harry Potter Hotel in the investment contract. Liang Zijin and Bai Xiaoyi and other crew members took a direct flight from Air France Paris to Beijing to Beijing. Zuo Jiang and his entourage were taking a flight from Paris to Shanghai, preparing to transfer in Shanghai to Songjiang.

When the plane of Liang Zijin and Bai Xiaoyi and his crew landed at the metropolitan international airport, a grand welcoming ceremony had been prepared at the airport, and cultural officials such as the director of the Department of Literature and Art of the Ministry of Culture, the three vice chairmen of the China Film Association, and other cultural officials, as well as well-known figures and enthusiastic audiences in the metropolitan film industry, came to the airport to welcome their triumphant return. As soon as they got off the plane, they were surrounded by flowers and applause.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Ministry of Culture and the China Film Association held a grand congratulatory meeting at the Du Century Cinema to celebrate the three Palme d'Or awards won by the film "Eternal Red Face" at the Cannes Film Festival. In their speeches, they highly praised the special achievements of "Eternal Red Face", and encouraged the main creators and main actors to make persistent efforts to make further progress and provide better and better films to the vast number of audiences across the country.

The trophies of the Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actress were showcased at the conference, and Leung Zijin, Bai Xiaoyi and Li Da also took the stage to give thank-you speeches and talk about their feelings about winning the award. At the same time, the Ministry of Culture and the China Film Association jointly awarded the "Eternal Red Face" Film Outstanding Film Award, Liang Zijin the title of Outstanding Director, Bai Xiaoyi the title of Outstanding Actor, and Li Da the title of Outstanding Screenwriter.

After all the cast and crew of the crew took a group photo with the leaders of the Ministry of Culture and the China Film Association, a grand screening ceremony was held, which marked the official screening of "Eternal Beauty" across the country. The next day, more than 100 theaters in Beijing launched the movie "Eternal Red Face" at the same time, the audience rushed to watch the scene was very hot, in order to get a movie ticket, many audiences rushed to the theater before dawn to queue up to buy tickets, and some audiences even queued up to buy tickets directly in front of the ticket window of the theater at night, reaching the level that it was difficult to find a train ticket like the Spring Festival period, and the theaters had additional screenings in the morning and evening, and it was difficult to solve this problem for a while. Shanghai, Tianjin, Baiyun and other major cities are only one day later than Beijing, and the hot scenes watched are more than Beijing, followed by the country's major provincial capitals and prefecture-level cities 6 continued to be released, according to the provincial and municipal film companies and incomplete statistics, "Eternal Red Face" was screened in just one week, and the box office revenue exceeded the historical record of 20 million yuan, you must know that at this time, the ticket price of domestic films in China's large and medium-sized cities is only about 1 yuan, and small cities and counties are only about 5 dimes. And this box office record was set when China introduced American blockbusters, and it was reached after 3 months of touring Chinese mainland!

The movie "Eternal Red Face" is on fire, director Liang Zijin and screenwriter Li Da are on fire, Bai Xiaoyi is on fire, and the relevant personnel of the crew are on fire! All kinds of activities in the film industry have found them, some social activities that are not related to them have also found them, commercial activities have found them, and even the first head of the first place has also found them, official activities must be participated, and some activities in the film industry have to participate in the face of some acquaintances, and during this time, Liang Zijin, Li Da and Bai Xiaoyi and others have been miserable, and even Li Da has no way to calm down and write a new script.

Just after participating in a social charity performance held by the China Film Association, Liang Zijin, Bai Xiaoyi and Li Da gathered in the hotel room, looking at the pile of invitations and invitations on the table and began to feel worried. During this period, there is no extra reward for being invited to participate in some activities, and the inviting party only provides travel expenses, accommodation expenses and some subsidies, if you are famous enough, the subsidy will be higher, and you will be given some high-end souvenirs when you leave, and that's it.

If you participate in the first performance and advertise the goods, you will have income, and the remuneration is generally determined according to the popularity of the actors, and the group like Bai Xiaoyi, who has a very high reputation and high reputation, cannot afford to go to the ** group at all, and Bai Xiaoyi will not participate, until several large companies invited Bai Xiaoyi to shoot advertisements for the company's products, but Bai Xiaoyi refused without hesitation. At this time, the price of first-line celebrities in the industry is not high, generally around 300,000 yuan, and a company thought that Bai Xiaoyi was disgusted with the money he gave, so he directly shouted out the highest price of 500,000 yuan in China, but she was ruthlessly refused, now, Bai Xiaoyi misses those warm days with Zuo Jiang very much, she just wants to go back to Songjiang to have a good rest, and even Liang Zijin invited her to participate in the filming of the next movie, and she answered that she would wait for her to rest for a period of time before considering.

Liang Zijin looked at the pile of invitations on the table and said, "We can't go on like this, we must learn to say no!" If we continue like this, we don't know when our next movie will be made, we are making movies, not social work, our mission is to make every movie, if we don't make movies, we will be sorry for the high honor that the country has given us, and we will be sorry for the expectations of the national audience for us. We have all participated in the activities of the Ministry of Culture and the Film Association, so my idea is that in the future, all invitations will be declined, and we will calm down and make our films! ”

Liang Zijin's proposal received a positive response from Li Da and Bai Xiaoyi, Li Da said: "Liang Zi is right, we must learn to say no, if it weren't for participating in these messy activities, the script I had already conceived would have been written, everyone wants to be famous, I didn't expect to have so many troubles after becoming famous!" “

Bai Xiaoyi said: "Yes, I feel more tired during this time than when I was filming "Eternal Red Face", hurry up and push off all these activities, I'll go back to Songjiang to take a good rest, the station has called me several times to urge me to go back!" ”

Liang Zijin said: "Since you both agree with us to do this, let these bullshit invitations all *** hell!" As he spoke, he grabbed the pile of invitations on the table and spilled them out of the open window. He was staying on the 12th floor of the hotel, and those invitations were flying in the air and falling down, when suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew the pieces of paper into an unknown distance.
