May 31, 10 a.m.

Quietly, Zhang Mu and others got on a flight to Paris.

Because there are no direct flights to Cannes in Beijing, you must first transfer to Paris, then to Nice, and finally to Cannes.

Flying down this way, it really made Zhang Mu tired enough, not to mention Zeng Li and other female comrades.

So when we arrived in Cannes, no one mentioned anything about going out shopping, and everyone just rested in the hotel room for a day, and then they barely recovered.

Because Zhang Mu clearly told everyone before setting off that this trip to Cannes was mainly to sell films.

So this time, in addition to the actors in the crew, almost all of the rest are the distribution personnel of Makino Film and Television.

The next day, seeing that Zhang Mu was discussing the next plan with the publishing director early in the morning, the little fairy who had slept until she was not angry suddenly felt that her wake-up gas seemed to appear again.

When Zhang Mu finished talking about business, he saw that the little fairy was pinching the biscuits with an unhappy face, and immediately glanced at Zeng Li in surprise and said:

"What? Who provoked her again this early in the morning? ”

Zeng Li suddenly glared at him angrily when he heard this, and said:

"It's not all your fault!"

After that, she didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Mu, turned around and whispered with the little fairy, but she knew that she didn't say anything good about Zhang Mu by looking at that look.

Seeing Zhang Mu's inexplicable appearance, Liu Xiaoli on the sofa opposite couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

Then she looked at Zhang Mu with some expectation and asked:

"Director Zhang, don't we really have a chance to win the award this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Li and Liu Yifei in the corner moved their ears, and even stopped and looked at Zhang Mu together.

Looking at the two pairs of beautiful eyes, Zhang Mu was stunned at first.

Then he realized the reason why the two beauties were unhappy, so he couldn't help but laugh a little: "Just for this? ”

Seeing that he looked so indifferent, the little fairy immediately pouted dissatisfiedly:

"Isn't that enough? Originally, I was thinking about getting the actress! What now? I don't even have to dream! ”

Zeng Li, who was on the side, couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

After all, no matter how old or young you are, any actor who comes to the Cannes Film Festival will always have some beautiful fantasies.

But they didn't look forward to it for long, and they were ruthlessly punctured by Zhang Mu.

Looking at their reactions, Zhang Mu realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, but ...... What's wrong?

After finding that he couldn't figure out this problem, Zhang Mu simply didn't bother to dwell on it anymore, so he immediately shifted the topic to Liu Xiaoli's question just now.

I saw that he immediately turned out a form and handed it to Liu Xiaoli.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Palme d'Or has already been decided."

As soon as these words came out, let alone Liu Xiaoli, Zeng Li, Fan Wei, Huang Bo and others, all thought that Zhang Mu was teasing them.

But when they saw the wry smile on the corner of Zhang Mu's mouth, everyone realized that he wasn't joking.

So Zeng Li immediately subconsciously retorted:

"No way, the opening ceremony hasn't started yet, and Cannes can't decide the Palme d'Or."

Jiang Wu, who has always been steady, couldn't help but nod in agreement when he heard this:

"Yes, if this kind of thing comes out, Cannes' reputation for nearly a hundred years is estimated to be ruined, I don't think the French should be so confused, right?"

As for the others, although they didn't speak, most of them thought the same as Jiang Wu in their hearts.

However, seeing their reaction, Zhang Mu was not angry, but after rummaging through the documents in his hand for a while, he handed over a document.

"Fahrenheit 911?"

Looking at the detailed information on the document, the little fairy couldn't help but widen her eyes and said curiously:

"Where did you get all this information?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mu glanced at him angrily and said:

"Or what do you think I'm busy with early in the morning?"

However, after reading the information on the document, Jiang Wu's heart became even more confused.

I saw him looking at Zhang Mudao puzzled:

"Director Zhang, even if there is an internal decision, it shouldn't be "Fahrenheit 911"."

The little fairy also frowned when she heard this:

"That's it, I see that most of the newspapers here are optimistic about Wang Jiawei's "2046", as well as the Coen brothers' "Old Woman Killer", as for Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911", it is the most controversial."

Although Cannes is French, English is the international language at present, so bilingual newspapers are usually prepared in hotels in Cannes.

Because the little fairy received education in the United States in elementary and junior high school, there is no problem at all in reading English newspapers.

Zeng Li also couldn't understand what Zhang Mu thought.

"Even if Quentin Tarantino, the chairman of the jury, wants to favor the Americans, it should be the Coen brothers, and their relationship is said to be much better than that of Michael Moore."

However, not everyone disagrees with Zhang Mu's opinion, Liu Xiaoli seemed to remember something after pondering for a while.

So I couldn't help but ask with some hesitation: "Is it because of political correctness?" ”

In other words, the anti-war theme of "Fahrenheit 911" is politically correct no matter which country it is.

Therefore, if you insist on saying a reason, Liu Xiaoli can only think of this.

Zhang Mu couldn't help but look at her in surprise when he heard this, but he still shook his head and said:

"If it's just because it's politically correct, it's too easy to operate after all."

"But you're half right, remove the last two words, and it's just right!"

As soon as Zhang Mu said this, Fan Wei, who had been silent before, couldn't sit still, and immediately subconsciously asked in Northeast dialect:

"Politics? This...... What does this say? ”

Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people, Zhang Mu didn't say anything more, and said a little helplessly:

"I also hope that I am thinking too much, but there are some things in front of me, and I can't even fantasize about them!"

Zeng Li and the others, who were waiting for Zhang Mu's explanation, suddenly couldn't help but have a black line in their heads when they heard the words.

What does it mean to have things right in front of you? Are they blind? Or do they have no eyes?

So under the resentful eyes of everyone, Zhang Mu didn't dare to go to Versailles anymore, and immediately threw a stack of documents in front of several people, and then explained with a serious expression:

According to the information obtained from the consulting company, although "Fahrenheit 911" is ostensibly a documentary about the 911 incident in the United States, it actually accounts for a small proportion of the content about the "911 incident".

In fact, most of the pages are about three things.

Namely: the causes and consequences of the Irak War; the delicate relationship between the current president of the United States, Cowboy and Benla-lantern; and the controversial 2000 presidential election.

Although the director didn't say anything explicitly in the movie, he told the audience through the lens and editing all the time that the little cowboy cheated in the general election that year. ”
