Chapter 499: Grab attention by all means
The Palace of Festivals, in the office of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival.
Isabelle Huppert's face sank, stared coldly at Jacob, the chairman of the organizing committee opposite, and asked, "I heard that you proposed to make Adjani the Palme d'Or?" The film festival is about to start, what do you want to do, do you want to do a surprise attack? β
"You are the biggest exponent of women in French cinema," Jacob said.......
"You know how I am with her!" Huppert slammed the table and shouted, "Unless you kill me!" β
Not to mention the open and secret battles over the years, when filming "The BrontΓ« Sisters", Adjanita was really a fake show, and she stabbed her head with a heavy hand!
Who in the French film industry doesn't know that they are mortal enemies of you and me?
"If Adjani is a guest, I will hold a press conference right now to announce my resignation as president of the jury," Huppert exclaimed. β
Jacob wanted to create a highlight, but he didn't expect Huppert to react so violently.
The film festival will open tomorrow, and it is impossible for the organizing committee to remove the chairman of the jury for a guest of honor.
The Cannes Film Festival will become a joke all over the world.
Jacob could only give in: "Okay, for someone else." β
Huppert is very tough and goes one step further: "I refuse to give her any award. β
Jacob backed down and simply responded, "This time, we won't invite Adjani." β
Satisfied, Huppert came out of the office and went back to the office of the president of the jury, where her assistant came and said, "Two more invitations." β
"Temporarily included in the planned itinerary." Huppert thought of his sworn enemy and said, "You pay attention to Adjani's dynamics. β
The assistant made a note of it.
Huppert's head was about to explode, and there were too many people to call her lately.
Old friend Steven Soderbergh also called to ask her to pay attention to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and the performance of the actor Martin.
Even Harvey Weinstein seduced her with an Oscar.
But Huppert was unmoved by the Palme d'Or, she had already seen the teacher's "White Ribbon", and the quality was absolutely excellent.
As for the other awards, let's take a look at them first, and then we should also synthesize the opinions of the jury.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the Wuyang Hotel, Ivan, who came from Los Angeles a week ago, sat in the hotel lobby lounge with a French interpreter hired from Los Angeles, observing the customers coming in and out.
A woman who walked with the wind entered the lobby with a female assistant at this time.
The interpreter reminded: "Adjani is here. β
Ivan specifically looked at Adjani's posters and photos, saw the middle-aged woman with a strange stiff face, and asked, "Are you sure she's Adjani?" β
The translator understands the situation in France: "Excessive plastic surgery, collapse of appearance, it is better to age naturally." β
Ivan first took out his mobile phone to make a call, then took out a miniature camera, and with the help of a translator, he took several photos in a row.
At the hotel front desk, the assistant came back and said, "The rooms are all booked." β
Adjani had a very bad temper and scolded: "Damn, the whole world is going to do right with me? β
A friend in the organizing committee suggested that she be the guest of honor for the Palme d'Or, and she rushed from Paris, only to get off the plane and receive a notice that the matter could not be passed because of Huppert's strong opposition.
The nemesis Huppel didn't want her to come, not only did she have to come, but she didn't plan to leave when she came!
Adjani said, "Ask other hotels. β
The assistant knew that the employer had a temperament and did not dare to speak much, so he hurriedly called the Proswan Hotel.
"I'm sorry, the hotel rooms have all been booked out ......" The flower on the phone has not finished speaking, and has changed his words: "Hello, someone on our side just canceled a suite, if you are interested in booking a room......"
The assistant hurriedly said: "I book!" The person who booked the room was Miss Isabelle Adjani! β
After confirming with the other side, the assistant hurriedly went back to inform Adjani, and the two went out and went to the Proswan Hotel on the other side.
Ivan and the translator, like the most common journalists on this promenade, followed unhurriedly.
There is no need to worry about being spotted and followed, because a large number of reporters are following Adjani.
Adjani entered the Proswan Hotel, the assistant completed the formalities, and the two went upstairs together.
Ivan asked the interpreter to stay in the lounge of the hall, went upstairs alone to look, made sure that he was staying in the room he had just vacated, went downstairs and left the hotel, and after making a phone call, came to a roadside cafΓ©.
After a while, Bruce came over and sat across from him.
Ivan didn't talk nonsense: "Adjani stayed at the Proswan Hotel. β
"People are coming, and it seems that they will not leave in a short time." Bruce said: "The Inglourious Basterds crew also lives in Proswan, and there are always times when you come in and out. β
Ivan's paparazzi in the past two years has not been in vain, and he has learned a lot of useful things from TMZ's ace reporter Jodi: "If I can't find the right opportunity, I have a way to let her meet Harvey by chance." β
Bruce nodded: "Take a suitable photo and then contact me, the crew will contribute to media coverage." β
Ivan said: "You can rest assured that I will do things. β
Bruce didn't say anything more, got up and returned to the Wuyang Hotel.
Ivan then left the place and went back to the Proswan Hotel to watch for himself.
Bruce quickly returned to the hotel, and told Martin about the situation.
"Xavi is a good teacher when it comes to the PR awards, so we have to learn from him," Martin said. β
Bruce asked, "How sharp is the conflict between Huppert and Adjani?" β
Martin pointed to his phone: "Melanie just got the news, Huppert strongly objected to the organizing committee inviting Adjani to be the guest of honor for the Palme d'Or, and directly told the people of the organizing committee unless she died!" β
That's the advantage of big crews, big companies, spending a lot of money, hiring well-known local PRs, and being able to grasp first-hand information and dynamics.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, the Cannes Film Festival kicked off.
In front of the Lumière Hall at the Palais des Festivals, a long red carpet was rolled out, and hundreds of journalists from all over the world packed the media area.
There were also hundreds of guests who participated in the red carpet.
Many of them stayed on the red carpet for a long time, and the security personnel on both sides of the red carpet had to step forward from time to time to catch people.
Journalists in the media area are not interested in unfamiliar faces from all over the world, and the camera is all focused on the well-known movie stars and directors.
There are so many people walking the red carpet that most of them are not worth wasting time.
The Cannes red carpet is open to the public, and the price of this edition is 20,000 euros for the red carpet.
That is, for 20,000 euros, you can walk the red carpet of the opening ceremony of Cannes.
Most of the media are not interested in people who come out of their own pockets, so they will contact photographers in advance to take pictures of them.
After the shooting, it was sent back to the country where it was, and it looked really beautiful, but the occasional media area exposed in the background, where you could see the cameramen's footage, was not here at all.
Mene himself also has commercial sponsorship, and he walked the red carpet with commercial sponsorship tickets.
Dressed in a black suit and with a camera hanging from his neck, he waited at the corner of the Grand Staircase of the Palace of Festivals, waiting for his goddesses of literature and art to appear.
Martin and David Fincher came in the same car and got out of the car and went to the waiting area to meet Katherine Kennedy and Cate Blanchett.
This is also a feature of the opening red carpet of the film festival, and the main creators of the same crew often walk on the red carpet at the same time.
Ahead, it happened to be the crew of "The Burning Plains", taking advantage of Kim Basinger's conversation with Katherine Kennedy, Jennifer Lawrence quietly found Martin.
"There are a lot of people today, people who spend money to buy tickets, sponsor channels, handsome men and beautiful women." She lowered her voice and asked Martin sincerely: "With so many people, how can I get a little media attention?" β
This is the problem for all newcomers.
For Nicholson's sake, Martin thought for a moment and said, "When you walk next to Charlize, there's bound to be a camera lens following you, but if you want to get attention, you need something special and impressive." β
Lawrence pondered, "Special? β
Martin replied casually: "I'm a man, and what suits men is not suitable for women." β
At this moment, there was an earth-shattering exclamation on the red carpet, and the sound was higher and higher.
When Lawrence turned his head to look, he saw Sophie Marceau walking to the front of the media area.
Sophie Marceau's suspenders on one side of her dress, slipping off her shoulders and revealing what is often generously shown in movies.
So many people exclaimed, and Sophie Marceau was also surprised to cover her mouth first.
After covering her mouth, she pulled up the skirt strap unhurriedly.
At this moment, whether private or media, all the cameras are turned to Sophie Marceau.
Without thinking too much, Lawrence also knew that Sophie Marceau wanted to occupy a prominent place in entertainment media around the world.
She sighed secretly, in order to win attention, this aunt is really hard!
On the big steps, Mene held up his camera and shot wildly, each shot grabbing Sophie Marceau's vital point.
Next to Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci was speechless for a while, she was at best daring to play in the shooting, this one on the red carpet ......
The industry has reached this point?
Lawrence looked at Martin again.
Martin shook his head at her slightly.
Lawrence understood that Sophie had just used it, and it would definitely not work well if she used it again.
You can't lift your skirt up, take off your pants and throw them at the fans, right? It also takes into account Nicholson's feelings.
The crew of "The Burning Plains" walked the red carpet, and the Dior goddess Charlize Theron was undoubtedly the one that attracted the most attention.
Martin looked at Lawrence, who was dressed in a white dress, and suddenly laughed.
David Fincher happened to come over and asked, "What are you laughing at?" You look like a pervert. β
Martin casually pointed to the front: "Witness the transformation of an actress." β
Coming to the opposite side of the media area, the red carpet was somewhat uneven because there were too many people walking.
Just when most of the media reporters' cameras turned to Charlize, the accident happened.
Jennifer Lawrence seemed to have tripped over the red carpet under her feet and fell to the ground.
Charlize's first instinct was to help her.
Lawrence briefly grabbed the C spot.
