On the red carpet in Cannes in 2000.

Liang Chaowei, who was dressed in a white suit, was full of spirits, and Zhang Manyu, who was wearing a white dress, was extremely beautiful, and the two matched like a fairy couple.

Because of the filming of "In the Mood for Love", the two got along day and night for 15 months.

Especially during the three months of filming abroad, they stayed in the same hotel, ate and played ball together every day after filming, and formed an ambiguous revolutionary friendship.

The media is even more happy to report the scandal between the two.

The Cannes audience sighed for the melancholy and gentle, love-in-love story of the two in "In the Mood for Love".

On the other hand, he kept making up for the ambiguous plot between the two actors in reality.

Few are sober.

Wait for the red carpet to go back to the camera.

Qin Qi watched silently, or Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei got along more easily.

After all, a few years later, Liang Chaowei still chose to marry the most complementary Liu Jialing, I really don't know why the audience and the media have to pretend to be blind.

Maybe it's because "In the Mood for Love" is so good, and it's hard to settle the feelings of two people who can't love it......

This is the characteristic of movies around 2000, which will always make the audience scratch their hearts, and there will never be any cool dramas or happy endings.

The directors strongly believe that it is a blasphemy against art and humanity......

However, what Qin Qi was most excited about at the Cannes Film Festival was "Yiyi" directed by 53-year-old Yang Dechang.

It took her two lifetimes to see a movie like "Yiyi" for the first time, and she realized that movies can provide people with more than just entertainment.

The three-hour-long "One by One" is as trivial as everyday life.

So Yan Heng saw that half of it was asleep next to him, and Qin Shu was even more bored and ran outside to see the scenery.

But after Qin Qi took care to read it, he felt as if he had finished a lifetime.

Because of the experience of two lives before and after, the moment she finished reading, she looked at Yan Heng, who had been with her and was still sleeping quietly, and burst into tears for a while.

This "One by One", which tells the story of an ordinary family on Treasure Island, quietly outlines the troubles and joys of each age.

For example, the 8-year-old "little philosopher" Yangyang in the film likes to take pictures of the back of other people's heads with a camera, because he thinks it can help others see another side of himself that he will never be able to see.

At her mother-in-law's funeral, Yangyang wrote a letter to her mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, do you know what I want to do in the future? I'm going to tell people what they don't know, to show people what they can't see. I think it's going to be fun every day. ”

Through the eight-year-old Yangyang, Director Yang expressed his thoughts on the meaning of life when he was over half a hundred years old.

Qin Qi was able to live a new life, and he also felt that it was a great luck to know what many people around him did not know.

She has been working hard to pass on this luck to everyone around her!

With her own efforts, the life of the whole family is getting better and better, the friends around her are getting better and better, everyone is doing what they like to do, and she feels sincerely happy.

and Yan Heng, who was by her side, was finally reunited with her family after all the ups and downs, and she was also happy for him.

At the end of the screening, Yan Heng finally woke up, smiled at Qin Qi, and held Qin Qi's hand tightly.

The two then strolled all the way to the beach in Cannes.

At night, the sea breeze is blowing, and the inky blue sea is picturesque.

The two couldn't help but kiss in a place where everyone couldn't see......

It was the turn of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to be screened, and Qin Qi once again felt the madness of the Cannes audience.

Everyone said that even when "Farewell My Concubine", the only one that won the Palme d'Or in 1993, was screened, the scene was never so lively.

Qin Qi, Qin Shu, and Yan Heng, even if they were just sitting in the corner, were infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

The audience applauded many times in the middle of the screening, and when the screening ended, everyone gave a standing ovation for a long time.

When Qin Shu followed the creators to the stage, the atmosphere at the scene was even higher to the extreme.

Reporters from all walks of life enthusiastically threw all kinds of big and small questions to Director Li An.

Li An was as elegant and gentle as ever, patiently answering one question after another with a smile on his face.

Seeing such a lively response to the scene, he was relieved.

In this sense, it is not a pity not to have even one Palme d'Or.

The last edition of the Palme d'Or went to Danish director "Dancer in the Dark".

Qin Qi also went to see this film, although it is also a great movie, but she privately thought that each of the three Chinese films that entered the main competition unit had the strength to match it.

The reason why "Dancer in the Dark" can win the award is more or less related to the fact that this is a European film festival, and it is still quite difficult for Chinese films to shine on other people's stages.

But even so, the year 2000 was the pinnacle of Chinese films overseas.

The stars of this year's Chinese films belong to "The Devil is Coming", which won the Grand Jury Award, to Baodao director Yang Dechang and his "Yiyi", which won the Best Director Award, and "In the Mood for Love", which won the Best Actor Award.

Of course, it still belongs to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which did not enter the main competition unit.

The next time a Chinese-language film will win an award at Cannes will be the Best Screenplay Award for "Spring Breeze Drunken Night" in 2009 and the Best Screenplay Award for Jia Zhangke's "Destined" in 2013.

Qin Qi is really very fortunate that he can witness this highlight moment.

Everyone was also in high spirits, and the filmmakers even played with each other, took pictures, had dinners, and chatted, and spent an unforgettable seven days.

After returning from Cannes, Qin Shu devoted himself to the final efforts for the college entrance examination.

Qin Qi began to make a final effort for "Painted Skin", which will be filmed in the summer, in addition to his studies.

After a trip to Cannes and watching a lot of good movies, she now has a much broader vision.

Especially after getting to know a lot of people in the industry, Qin Qi and Yan Heng are now famous members of the film industry.

In addition, the total box office of "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" at home and abroad exceeded the 90 million mark, and it became a phenomenal film in one fell swoop.

When they pulled investment and determined the main creative lineup, it can be said that it didn't take much effort.

First of all, the first director to be determined is Director Huo.

Director Huo was naturally very excited that he could be selected, and said that he must work hard.

Because "Painted Skin" was filmed in 2008 in the previous life, several of the main actors in the previous life are still too young and most of them are not suitable for this movie, so most of the roles have been re-selected.

For example, at this time, Zhao Wei was filming "Deep Love and Rain", and he hadn't even acted in "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", so he naturally couldn't appreciate Mrs. Wang's forbearance and affectionate big house character in "Painted Skin".

Qin Qi pondered who could be suitable to act, and finally had the courage to find the 35-year-old Gong Li.
