"Sister Xiaoxun!"

Li Tang shouted at the thin figure in the crowd with an innocent smile on his face.

"Wow, Li Tang!"

Zhou Xun turned his head and saw him, and greeted him with a happy face: "When did you arrive!" ”

"Arrived last night."

Zhou Xun ran over with open arms to hug him.

Li Tang hurriedly said: "Don't, I just finished running, and I'm covered in stinky sweat!" ”

"It's fine!"

Zhou Xun didn't care at all, and gave him a solid hug when he came up.

In fact, when I came back from this walk, the sweat on my body had already dried up, but the smell of sweat was quite heavy.

Zhou Xun hugged him, and could clearly feel the strong muscles on his body, and the smell of sweat full of manly taste added a strong hormonal atmosphere, and she even took a deep breath greedily, unwilling to let go for a long time.

She subconsciously compared her boyfriend with Li Tang, to be honest, there is really no comparison. After experiencing the initial novelty, the relationship between the two has long since turned flat, and even if the physical needs are met, the physical pleasure can never meet the spiritual needs.

She regretted why she didn't seize the opportunity to take down the one in front of her in one fell swoop, and finally let the superficial Jiang Qinqin take advantage of the loophole. Although she knew that Li Tang didn't have any feelings for herself, what if she had taken the initiative again?

Of course, the reality is that there is no if, and she woke up in an instant, let go of her hands, looked up at Li Tang and said, "Oh, we waited for more than five hours in Amsterdam, and we were tired to death." ”

When he hugged just now, Li Tang felt that Zhou Xun's little face was pressed against his chest, and it was very tight. He has always been very sensitive in terms of the relationship between men and women, and when he had a casual meal after filming "Suzhou River", he felt that the other party was interesting to him. However, on the one hand, on the one hand, it was normal that I would not be able to get out for a while; On the other hand, it is mainly because the other party is really not their own food.

After that, the two worked together twice, how to say? In short, Zhou Xun is a very free and easy person, and it is quite good to be friends.

Looking at her coquettish appearance at this time, Li Tang just smiled and didn't say anything. Everyone understands that only friends don't need too many polite words, often a look and a smile are enough to express their inner thoughts.

"Mr. Li, hello!"

Only then did he spare time to greet Li Xiaowan who was standing aside.

"Li Tang, hello, hello."

Li Xiaowan seemed very enthusiastic, and when Li Tang went to Zhuozhou Film and Television City to visit the class, she was like two people. In the final analysis, Li Tang's status in the circle is different now, and in the eyes of these big courtyard disciples, they can barely talk on an equal footing.

After a few brief pleasantries, he said hello to Zhou Xun's assistant Tony.

It's just that after scanning around, I found that there were many unfamiliar faces around, but Chen Kun was the only one missing.

"Where's Kun'er?"

"Kun'er is busy filming, so she can't come." Zhou Xun said.

Li Tang remembered that Chen Kun was recently filming a TV series "The Family of Gold Powder" adapted by Zhang Hatshui, this TV series was produced by CCTV, Chen Kun played the male lead, and the female number one was the new girl Dong Jie.

Oh yes, one more thing, the director of this TV series is Jiang Qinqin's ex-boyfriend. Of course, there is also a famous director from the former children's film studio in the crew, and director Liu Guoquan, the mother of Director Li, who escorts him.

Because almost all the main creators behind this TV series are from Beijing Film Studio, including Director Li himself, who is also the director of Beijing Film Studio. is also the second generation of directors, Director Li and Director Xiao Teng have an average relationship, but many of the main creators behind the scenes are mutual friends of the two, and many of them have a good relationship with Li Tang, so even if he doesn't deliberately inquire, a lot of gossip will reach his ears.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is director Chen Guofu." Zhou Xun then pointed to a small man with gray hair and black-rimmed glasses.

By the way, there is an oversight in the previous article, in addition to "The Little Tailor" and "The Crying Woman", there is also a Chinese film shortlisted for the attention unit of this Cannes Film Festival, which is Chen Guofu's "Double Pupils".

Li Tang had seen the brochure of this film festival in his hotel room before, which covered all the films shortlisted for this film festival. Chen Guofu's "Double Pupils" has Liang Jiahui, Liu Ruoying and a man named David. Moss starred in an American actor, this American actor is also a familiar face, Li Tang remembers that he has acted in Hollywood movies such as "Furious Speed", "Concussion Effect", "Spy Sea", etc., which can be regarded as a golden supporting role.

"Director Chen, hello!"

Because it was the first time they met, Li Tang seemed very polite.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

Chen Guofu shook hands with him with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "I have watched "The Third Man", a very good movie. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”

"Thank you, Director Chen."

A "The Third Man" may not have much impact on the majority of domestic audiences, after all, there was only a box office of less than 10 million at the beginning, even if the pirated disc is widely circulated, basically everyone is just watching the excitement.

However, it may be a bit exaggerated to describe it as shock in the domestic film industry, but its influence is definitely no less than the "The Devil is Coming" directed by Jiang Wen that came out two years ago. The reason is simple, it is to make money, and there is no less.

Cheng Er has now become another ghost director after Jiang Wen, and he has the same virtue as Jiang Wen, that is, not only is he not floating, but he is also very characterful, and he has refused the solicitation of many film companies.

And the circle pays attention to Li Tang not only because he is the starring actor of this movie, but more importantly, he is an investor, and now that he has established a studio to stand on his own, he already has the prototype of capital, and he has more or less a certain right to speak.

Then he listened to Zhou Xun and said: "Director Chen is also the director of the Asian production department of Columbia Pictures, responsible for the production and distribution of Chinese-language films. ”

Hearing this, Li Tang secretly said in his heart: "Searched for death!" ”

Columbia was the first Hollywood film company to enter the Chinese market at that time, and in recent years, it has also invested in many Chinese-language films, such as "The Devil is Coming", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and so on.

and Feng Xiaogang's "Big Names", which was released last year, also has investment from Columbia, including being responsible for overseas distribution, and also helping to invite Donald . Second-tier Hollywood celebrities like Sutherland joined.

Speaking of Donald. Sutherland's domestic audience may not be familiar with it, but his son Kiefer. Sutherland must know a lot of people, the one who played the classic American drama "24 Hours".

In this way, Chen Guofu's "Double Eyes" appeared David. It's no surprise that Moss, a golden supporting actor in Hollywood, is starring.

Dai Sijie went downstairs as usual to greet the heroine of his movie, and he originally said that he would have a treat at noon, but as soon as Zhou Xun entered the hotel, he shouted that he was tired, and after nearly 20 hours of long-distance travel, he really needed to take a break, and the evening was the red carpet of the opening ceremony, and the female stars had to spend at least half a day on it.

Zhou Xun couldn't come, but Dai Sijie still talked and counted, and took his assistant François to invite Li Tang and Zeng Jia to rub together at a lobster shop near the hotel.

Not to mention, compared to the popular lobster sashimi in China, the cheese baked lobster made here in Cannes is served with onions and spaghetti, which tastes quite wow.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the 55th Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off, and the eyes of the world will be focused on the red carpet in just 60 meters at the entrance of the Palais du Cinéma.

Compared to last year's Venice Film Festival, when you had to queue up to take a boat to the island, this time it is obviously much easier, the Carlton Hotel is only a short 200-meter away from the Palais du Cinémo, which is shorter than the 250-meter red carpet distance in Venice.

In the afternoon, Zeng Jia helped Li Tang to take a good look at it, the slick and smooth Sanqi development type, wearing a black dress tailored by the endorsement manufacturer, including shirts, bow ties and leather shoes.

At around seven o'clock, Zhou Xun called: "Okay, it's okay, it's time to go!" ”

"Get down right now."

Most of the red carpets around the world are in the same order, at the beginning, some local stars are hot up first, and then the shortlisted crews all appear, interspersed with some celebrities invited by the organizers, and the jury all appears, of course, the final finale must also be big coffee.

"The Little Tailor" was scheduled to appear between 7:30 and 7:40, and the ranking was okay, and after their appearance, it was followed by the appearance of the jury in the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The chairman of the jury of this year's film festival is the American director David Brown. Lynch, who won the Palme d'Or back in '90 for his film "Wild at Heart", and last year won the Best Director Award for "Mullanch Road".

As for the judges, they generally emphasize diversity, including regional and skin color, which is the so-called "political correctness" of the hypocrisy of the white left world.

The only ones who are a little famous are the Chinese actor Michelle Yeoh, who once played the "Bond Girl", and the American actress Sharon . Stone.

Sharon Brown, who was once widely known to Chinese people for "Instinct" and "Cannonball Expert". Stone hasn't collapsed yet. In fact, from Li Tang's point of view, like Sharon. Stone's slander of China is ignorance and arrogance. This is also a common problem for most Americans. They don't know China at all, and they don't even know where China is on the planet, so they dare to make all kinds of remarks, in fact, to put it bluntly, just to get a position.

Of course as a Chinese, even Sharon . Stone hadn't collapsed yet, but as long as he saw her name, Li Tang felt very uncomfortable.

When Li Tang walked out of the room and came to the revolving escalator of the hotel, he saw Zhou Xun taking pictures at the revolving escalator from the first floor to the second floor. In addition to being accompanied by the company's owner and agent Li Xiaowan and assistant Tony, she also brought an exclusive makeup artist and photographer.

Seeing Li Tang coming downstairs in a black dress, he hurriedly beckoned: "Li Tang, come, let's take a few photos together." ”

Zhou Xun is dressed in a unique style today, wearing a red horse-faced skirt on the lower body, and a white shirt with a chic style on the upper body, which is quite a mix of modern and traditional, Western and Chinese.

Li Tang felt that the horse-faced skirt on her body was a little familiar, and before she could ask questions, she heard Zeng Jia say excitedly: "Sister Xiaoxun, this skirt is the one Xiuhe wore when she got married, right?" ”

"yes!" Zhou Xun replied with a smile.

"Ah, it's beautiful!"

Zeng Jia also deliberately ran down the stairs quickly, took a closer look at the front, and admired it sincerely.

Yes, no wonder it looks familiar.

After the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, "Orange is Red" starring Zhou Xun landed on major TV stations one after another, triggering a small ratings frenzy, and the response was quite good. In it, she plays Xiuhe, the daughter of a tenant who is married to the old man as a three-room wife.

Li Tang walked down the spiral staircase, Zhou Xun turned around to meet him, and met almost half of the first floor, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then Zhou Xun took his arm, and the two went down, the photographer had already occupied the favorable terrain, and the lens of the camera in his hand was aimed at the two of them, and pressed the shutter wildly.

There are many people who want to take pictures at the famous spiral staircase of the Carlton Hotel, which is of course preferred by in-house guests, and for those who come to take advantage of the heat and look for an opportunity to increase their popularity, they can only be stopped by the security guards and waited until they have finished taking photos before being allowed to line up to enter.

It was almost 7:25 after taking the photo, and under the urging of Dai Sijie, he hurriedly rushed to the movie palace.

In fact, even if you are late, it is not a big deal, because there will always be people who are reluctant to move on the crowded red carpet, just to give themselves more exposure opportunities.

Li Tang, Zhou Xun and Dai Sijie waited in the waiting area for another ten minutes, and finally stepped on the noisy Cannes red carpet.

is still the same sentence, "The Little Tailor" is Cannes's own son, and the security guards on the scene deliberately dispersed some of the starlets who were left behind and refused to move before the crew appeared on the stage, vacating the filming area.

Those photojournalists also gave face to them, first the three of them took a group photo, then posed a few alone, and finally Zhou Xun held Dai Sijie and Li Tang respectively to complete the group photo of the two people.

In fact, there are still a lot of Chinese elements at this year's Cannes Film Festival, in addition to the only seedling that was shortlisted for the main competition unit mentioned before - Jia Chief's "Ren Yao" and the three films shortlisted for the "Un Certain Eye" unit, there are also the short film "Deep of a Hundred Flowers" made by Director Chen for the British blockbuster "Ten Minutes, Old Age" and his husband and wife film "With You" with Chen Hong; "Zhou Yu's Train" directed by Sun Zhou, starring Gong Li and her male junior and Liang Jiahui; the remake of the classic movie "Spring in a Small Town" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang; "Looking for a Gun" directed by Lu Kuan and starring Jiang Wen also appeared at the film festival as a screening film or a special introduction.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Shixian's short film "Che 44", which shined at the Venice Film Festival last year, was still specially invited by the organizer this time and was shortlisted for the "Director's Fortnight" unit.

It's not easy, think about it, this year's Cannes Film Festival is said to have more than 2,200 films from all over the world signed up for the competition, and only less than one-tenth of them can appear at the festival. Nowadays, there are so many Chinese films involved, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that China's influence in the world is increasing day by day.

Cheekily ask for everyone's guaranteed monthly passes, help motivate, and two more tomorrow.
