Chapter 340: The Town of Cannes
Cannes, located near the city of Nice, the southern port of France, is a beautiful town with a Mediterranean climate and pleasant temperatures from May to October, which attracts a large number of tourists.
The top and most influential Palme d'Or film festival in the world today is held here.
It's just early May, and you'll see quite a lot of tourists coming to the city.
The town is nestled at the foot of the green hills, close to the sea, and the geographical location is very unique.
In the central area, you can see an endless stream of tourists strolling through the white buildings, looking into the distance to the endless sea, and the rows of tall palm trees against each other, forming a beautiful natural scenery flower scroll.
Marriott Ghana Resort, in this five-star hotel, Shen Feng and Sun Shiran have just completed the check-in procedures.
Since having Sun Shiran as an assistant, Shen Feng can be said to be inseparable from her every time she goes out, and she is quite relieved to leave anything to her.
For example, buying air tickets, booking hotels, checking in, etc., all of them were done by Sun Shiran alone.
"What a beautiful town!"
Shen Feng, who had placed his luggage, came to the balcony of the room, stretched his body wantonly, and enjoyed the warmth from the sun.
All the way to Paris by plane, then to Nice, and finally by taxi to the location, there was not much to mention on the way, but it was quite physically and mentally tiring.
But seeing the beautiful scenery of this town at this moment, I only feel that the fatigue along the way has been eliminated a lot.
Winter, winter, winter!
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Feng could probably guess that it was Sun Shiran, so he immediately went over to open the door.
Sure enough, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Sun Shiran standing outside the door fixedly, and said:
"Director Shen, although we have already signed up for the Palme d'Or Film Festival, we are not sure if we can be shortlisted, I suggest that you first go to a few of the award judges of this year to find out the news."
Shen Feng smiled at this, to be honest, it is indeed a bit reckless to come to Cannes like this.
After all, the festival invites those who have been nominated for awards to participate, and it will be a big joke if Shen Feng is not shortlisted here.
Only directors and actors who have a strong confidence in themselves will come to this beautiful town ahead of schedule.
And Shen Feng, he naturally has strong confidence in his "Titanic".
"Don't worry, as long as those judges are not blind, it is impossible not to even nominate them!" Shen Feng replied confidently.
He came this time for the highest award, the Palme d'Or.
As for whether his film can be shortlisted, he hasn't even considered this issue.
Just like the World Music Awards, the Palme d'Or can't really just set up a Palme d'Or award, and there are many smaller awards.
For example, the Grand Jury Prize, the Best Actor/Actress/Director/Screenwriter Award, and other awards.
"Titanic" can't even be nominated for an award?
Don't be stupid, if this film can't even be nominated for an award, I'm afraid the authority of the Palme d'Or will be greatly reduced!
Seeing that Shen Feng was so confident and determined, Sun Shiran nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Okay, let's rest first, maybe in a few days, Anderson and Kate will also be nominated, and then it will be lively!"
With that, Shen Feng sent Sun Shiran away.
...
In the afternoon, on the golden sands of the Cannes seaside.
Sun Shiran, who was wearing a conservative swimsuit, looked at the sea helplessly.
At this moment, Shen Feng is driving a motorboat, speeding on a heavy wave, and it seems that he is having a lot of fun.
"Yo hoo~"
The exclamations from time to time have attracted the attention of quite a few tourists, and some people who have paid attention to Haolaiwu have felt that the handsome and sunny Oriental man looks a little familiar.
Soon, someone took a picture of Shen Feng driving a motorboat and posted it on the Internet.
Suddenly, there were a lot of messages below.
"Isn't this a sinking coincidence, this oriental director has really gone to Cannes? You must know that the movie is still in the judging period! ”
"It looks quite confident, and it would be too embarrassing if he wasn't in the award nomination!"
"According to the current news, Shen Feng is the first director to go to Cannes, and other directors in their country haven't even moved!"
"Hehe, anyway, the list of award nominees will be announced in a few days, and I want to see if he can be shortlisted."
"The arrogant guy, does he think he is a top director of Hollywood? Quentin? Pombec? Oliver? Only these few dare to say that they guarantee that their works will be shortlisted! ”
All of a sudden, there was a lot of talk on the Internet.
Most people want to wait to see Shen Feng's jokes, thinking that this director from the East is too arrogant, and it would be better to wait until the list of award finalists is announced.
And Shen Feng, who was having a good time, didn't know all this, and he drove a motorboat back and forth on the sea.
Finally, when Shen Feng was a little tired from playing, he returned to the beach, intending to rest on the chair for a while.
"Hey! Meet, is it really you? ”
A familiar-sounding exclamation drew Shen Feng's attention to the past.
On the other side of the beach, a middle-aged man with black sunglasses walked over with a surfboard and a smile.
Shen Feng looked at it carefully, and then exclaimed in the same exclamation: "Mr. Quentin? What a coincidence that I met you here! ”
Director Quentin, who had a smile brighter than the sun, strode towards Shen Feng: "Hahahaha, I heard a long time ago that you went to Haolaiwu, why didn't you contact me?"
Shen Feng smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I was too busy at the time, you know how busy it is to be in charge of a movie in a foreign country."
"I know, of course I do!"
Quentin, who approached, gave Shen Feng a strong hug.
"You seem to be having a good time, so you must be confident about the Palme d'Or."
The two slowly let go, Shen Feng spread his hands, and said: "I don't dare to say that I am confident, after all, there are indeed many top directors at this Palme d'Or Film Festival, including you, I am not too sure!"
Quentin laughed again and said very bluntly: "I was only a guest at the Emerald Palace Music Night in Monaco, but this year, I am definitely the main character!"
His words were full of confidence, and he did not hide his desire for the Palme d'Or.
In this regard, Shen Feng only said that he could not deny it, and he would never really have a low EQ to refute him at this time.
When the time comes, it will be good to see the truth with strength, at least the jury of the film festival is absolutely fair.
