One more thing, Jiang Wen is one of the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The president of this year's film festival is the famous French director Patrice. Xiahou. The romantic film "Intimacy" directed by this buddy won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival the year before last, and at the beginning of this year, he won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival again with the feature film "Dead Poets Society" directed by him, which is currently a popular art film director in Europe.

In addition to the Chinese actor Jiang Wen, the other eight members of the jury are familiar to the audience. Ryan and American director Stephen Brown. Spielberg.

As for Jiang Wen's grinding in Zhang Ziyi's mouth, Li Tang had already learned when he made a cameo appearance in "Me and Dad" directed by Xu Jinglei. It should be said that Jiang Wen may be better as a director than an actor.

Xu Jinglei's "My Dad and Me" also signed up for this year's Cannes Film Festival this time, and it is said that it also relied on Jiang Wen's relationship, but in the end it was defeated.

But it's normal to think about it, there are more than 2,400 films registered for this year's Cannes Film Festival, and a total of dozens of films have been shortlisted, which can be imagined. At the same time, it also confirms the awesomeness of MK2 from the side. If there is no operation of MK2, whether it is Diao Yinan's "Uniform" or Ning Hao's "Incense", it is estimated that you should not even think about it.

"Oh yes, I heard that you are filming the TV series "Ping's Trace" directed by He Qun recently?" Zhang Ziyi then asked casually.

When she asked this, she was more or less condescending, and at the same time, a hint of superiority flashed on her face.

This is no way, among these domestic actors, she may be the only actor who has not filmed a TV series but can still be on the front line. Attention, it's an actor, not an actress.

Think about it, big names like Jiang Wen and Ge You, who can not only carry the box office but also have international awards, have all filmed TV series back then.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi is indeed qualified to be proud of this.

"Yes, it's shooting. I also just came back from a leave of absence from the crew yesterday. ”

"How's the shot? I heard that the female number one is still the same ...... Oh, Gao Yuanyuan! Zhang Ziyi said with a narrow face.

"What kind of expression do you have? I warn you not to listen to the wind and rain, I am really friends with her. ”

Zhang Ziyi saw that he was in a hurry, and immediately smiled: "Okay, I'm not a reporter, so you don't need to explain it to me so clearly." ”

In Zhang Ziyi's current position, to be honest, there are not many friends around him who can talk, and Li Tang is just one of them. To be precise, the two appreciate each other, and each admires each other's strength.

There is usually a popular saying in the entertainment industry: Xiaohong relies on support, and big red depends on life. Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi both belong to the latter, and they each seized the opportunity to become popular in the film industry.

But there is another saying, called: Opportunity comes to those who are prepared. In other words, the opportunity comes, see if you can seize it.

Especially actors, when the opportunity comes, the key to whether you can seize it depends on your strength.

At present, among the many new-generation actresses in China, Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi are the only two that Li Tang admires. If Zhou Xun is a natural actor, then Zhang Ziyi is an all-round player who works hard.

The two chatted and chatted about the movie "Jasmine Blossom" that is currently being filmed, and it is not difficult to find that Zhang Ziyi has high hopes for this movie. After all, although she is currently popular, she has not won any decent awards except for the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films when she first debuted.

As for the gold content of the Hundred Flowers Award, everyone understands it!

However, when listening to Zhang Ziyi's grinding of Jiang Wen, Li Tang had some expectations. It is said that Jiang Wen has a habit of cleanliness in acting, and a scene has obviously been filmed very well, but he always thinks that maybe it can be better, so he grinds it over and over again until he is satisfied with the filming.

In fact, Li Tang has always had such thoughts, such as a scene has a variety of different ways of expression, specific to the different emotions of the characters, the difference in body language, and even the light accent of the lines. But in real shooting, you can't show them one by one, in addition to the cost of shooting, you have to consider whether the actors in the rival scene can catch it. So what he often says to rival actors is: Even if you come, I can take it.

This is not a big deal, after all, acting is not a one-person thing, but needs to be cooperated. Whenever this time he misses the stage play in his previous life, he often conducts countless rehearsals before performing on stage, and the cooperation between actors and actors is formed in continuous running-in, which is the real performance. And now, except for the fight scene between him and Li during the filming of "Hero", there are few scenes that allow him to play to the fullest.

The time to chat was always short, and he and Zhang Ziyi separated after boarding, because the seat booked by others was higher than him, and it was first class.

An international flight usually has only eight to sixteen first-class seats, while business-class seats can have as many as forty or fifty. In addition to the agent and two assistants who followed him, he also specially hired two stylists and makeup artists from Li Jiapo to meet in Cannes at that time.

Every time I go to Europe to participate in the film festival, the long journey is always the most difficult, it takes eleven hours to fly from the capital to Paris, France, and when I transfer at Charles de Gaulle Airport, because of the epidemic, I have to go through temperature testing, and finally arrive at Nice Airport in France It is 6 o'clock in the evening local time, almost 1 am on the 14th domestic time.

When everyone pushed their luggage out of the gate, they saw that more than a dozen fans who came to pick up the airport with Zhang Ziyi's photo had gathered at the scene. Of course, most of them are Chinese faces, and they are also fluent in Chinese, and when they saw Zhang Ziyi wearing a mask coming out, they immediately gathered around, shouting Zhang Ziyi's name at the same time, and asked for a group photo autograph.

"Oh, good guys, there are so many fans in France!" Ning Hao, who was following behind, couldn't help but sigh.

Diao Yinan, who usually doesn't answer much, said unexpectedly at this time: "Why don't you call it an international star, do you see it, there are reporters taking pictures over there." ”

The airport was picked up by the staff of the film festival, and the staff hurriedly stepped forward to stop the fans' actions, and escorted Zhang Ziyi all the way out. The reporters at the scene were also more knowledgeable, and did not ask for an interview on the pole, but only took a few photos on the periphery.

According to the film festival's pick-up arrangement, Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi are considered to be one crew, while Diao Yinan and Ning Hao have another car to pick them up. Xiao Zhang had a lot of things and a lot of entourage, so Li Tang didn't join in the fun with her, and directly got into Diao Yinan and Ning Hao's car.

It should be said that this Cannes gave Lou Ye full courtesy, of course, this time "Purple Butterfly" attended the film festival in the name of French films, which is regarded as his own person.

The hotel arranged by the organizers for the crew of "Purple Butterfly" is one of the official partner hotels of the Cannes Film Festival, and it is also known as one of the three giants of Cannes Croisette hotels.

This hotel is located on the left and right sides of the Palais du Cinéma, which is also one of the three giants of Cannes Esplanade hotels when Li Tang came to Cannes last year. The InterContinental Carlton is on the right side of the Palais de la Cinema and the Baril Hotel is on the left. The distance from the entrance of the hotel to the Cinema Palace is only 100 meters away, and it is a hotel where celebrities stay during the film festival.

Of course, the Barrier Hotel only received Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi, and the staff accompanying the two, including Diao Yinan and Ning Hao, who were shortlisted for a first-class attention unit, were all arranged in the nearby second-class hotels.

Kidding, the average king room at the Baril Hotel usually costs as much as seven or eight hundred euros, and during the film festival, it is as high as five thousand euros. The film festival lasts a total of 12 days from the opening to the closing, plus the beginning and the end, if you live here for half a month, together with the cost of food, you may go out for 780,000 yuan.

The second one, sorry, is a little shorter.
