"Brother Ye!"

"Sister An!"

At the door of the Barrier Hotel, Li Tang saw Lou Ye and Nai An as soon as he got out of the car. Because Xiao Zhang's car was running in front of them, the two were talking to Xiao Zhang, who got out of the car first.

Of course, it was mainly Nai An who was saying, Lou Ye stood next to him with a smile on his face, nodding from time to time.

Seeing Li Tang coming over, the smile on Lou Ye's face was even stronger, and he turned around to greet him: "It's coming!" ”

Although Lou Ye is taciturn, he is actually a very emotional person. Every time he saw Li Tang, he always remembered the little kid who liked to follow his ass and shout "brother" in his mouth, and his smile was a little more "kind".

At this time, Lou Ye found that in Li Tang's eyes, his swarthy face looked increasingly "conspiracy". That's right, Lou Ye, who is not yet forty, looks a lot older in recent years, that is, his cheeks are still slightly bulging, otherwise it looks like a copy of Zhang Yimou.

"Hey, didn't my sister-in-law come?"

Li Tang looked left and right, but didn't see Lou Ye's wife, Sister Ma.

Since the two got married, Sister Ma has also joined Lou Ye's team.

"She's still in Germany, and she'll be back in two days." Lou Ye said.

Oh, I remember, Sister Ma studied and lived in Germany for a long time before.

Li Tang came over in Diao Yinan and Ning Hao's car, and they also got out of the car together, and when they saw Lou Ye, their eyes invariably flashed with little stars. With him, the scene was somewhat embarrassing.

Fortunately, at this time, Ney An came over after saying a few words to Zhang Ziyi's agent, and greeted Diao Yinan warmly: "Yinan, long time no see!" ”

They all entered Chinese opera at about the same time, Nai An is in the directing department, and Diao Yinan is in the drama

In the group of sixth-generation directors, there is no one more mysterious than Lou Ye, mainly because this product is too low-key, unless it is to promote the movie, he rarely appears in public or is interviewed by the media. Of course, the most important thing is that his films are very stylized, which makes many new directors regard them as idols.

Diao Yinan and Ning Hao were no exception, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Lou Dao!" ”

Li Tang introduced: "This is Diao Yinan, the director of "Uniform", and this is Ning Hao, the director of "Incense". Ning Hao is currently a senior in Nortel's Department of Photography. ”

"Hello!"

Lou Ye smiled and shook hands with the two.

When Ning Hao shook hands, he looked admiring and deliberately said, "Senior brother, hello!" I especially like your films. ”

After saying this, he smiled and waited for a response, but it was a pity that Lou Ye just smiled and looked at the literature department.

"Sister Nai'an, long time no see." Diao Yinan hurriedly shook Nai'an's hand.

"Oh, Sister An, this is Ning Hao, the director of "Incense". This is my ex-agent and producer of "Purple Butterfly" Ney An, Sister Ann. Li Tang introduced Ning Hao and Nai An again.

"Sister An, hello!"

Ning Hao was very clever, and did not call Teacher Nai abruptly, but followed Li Tang to call Sister An vividly.

"Ning Hao, hello! What a young and promising person! Nai An held Ning Hao's hand and said with emotion.

Just now, she heard Li Tang introduce to Lou Ye that Ning Hao is still only a senior student in Nortel's photography department. To be able to direct a feature film before graduation and be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival is a kind of attention unit, what else can you be if you are not young and promising?

And in addition to appreciation, there was more envy in Naian's eyes, thinking that a group of people who studied as directors back then, including Lou Ye and Wang Xiaoshuai, all went through a lot of hardships to complete their first work, and they were all lucky, and more people didn't even have a chance.

Ning Hao heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be it, it was all Mr. Li who gave me the opportunity, otherwise I would not have come to Cannes today." ”

Naian glanced at Li Tang unexpectedly, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, no wonder Li Tang is getting bigger and bigger now." ”

After some greetings, Ney said to everyone: "It's rare that everyone has arrived together today, let's have dinner together." ”

Before dinner, they had to go back to their rooms and put their luggage.

Li Tang didn't have to be busy, everything was arranged with Zeng Jia's help, he sat in the hotel lobby with Nai An and Lou Ye and chatted.

Nai An and Lou Ye came over on the 9th, first walked around Paris, and then went to Germany with Sister Ma, she and Lou Ye also just arrived here at noon today.

Nai An looked at Zeng Jia's departing back and said to Li Tang: "Jiajia is very capable!" ”

Li Tang nodded and said, "Well, if it weren't for her, my company would definitely not be able to start." ”

Ney An smiled: "The person I was looking for was finally picked up by you with a wallet, how can you thank me?" ”

"It's simple, I'll treat you to this dinner in the evening."

"Cut, one meal will solve the problem? It's too cheap to cut down! ”

Speaking of which, Li Tang and Nai An haven't seen each other for a long time, and in the past, they had to come to the door to pay a New Year's greeting or something during the Spring Festival, but this year he didn't have time to shoot "Second Brother" in Hu Jian.

Today's meeting is indispensable to ridicule each other, and Lou Ye on the side is always smiling and quiet as a listener as usual.

After a few words of laughter, Nai An said with emotion: "Jiajia is still good with you, if it is still placed with me, it is really a waste of talent." ”

Then we started talking about the schedule of the trip to Cannes, the festival opens tomorrow, the premieres of "Uniform" and "Incense" are scheduled for May 16 and 17, the premiere of "Second Brother" on the 19th and the premiere of "Purple Butterfly" is scheduled for the 24th.

Generally speaking, the premieres of the films shortlisted for the main competition unit are ranked in the first place, and from this point of view, "Purple Butterfly" seems to have a high chance of winning awards at this film festival.

Li Tang couldn't help but say to Lou Ye: "Brother Ye, congratulations to you in advance!" ”

Lou Ye smiled and waved his hand, looking calm.

Compared with the films that were also shortlisted for the main competition unit, the courtesy received by "Purple Butterfly" is not at all comparable to Wang Xiaoshuai's "Second Brother". For example, the two screenings of "Purple Butterfly" at the festival were arranged in the Palais du Cinéma, the largest of which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators.

Another example is that I just learned from Nai An that "Purple Butterfly" has sold the copyrights of more than 20 countries before the opening of the film festival, and the investment cost of more than 30 million yuan has been recovered. It's no wonder that Lou Ye is now sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai style, and with his character, the probability of winning the award is "I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life; Gain calmly, lose calmly. mentality.

After a while, everyone came over, and Xiao Zhang changed his outfit, a white double-breasted casual suit and white wide-legged pants, and a top hat of the same color on his head, which was full of Mediterranean style, which made everyone's eyes shine.

For female stars, as long as they land in Cannes, it means that they have arrived on the battlefield, and your every move may be followed by the lens of reporters at any time, and then spread to the world.

The Cannes Film Festival is, in a sense, a huge vanity fair second only to the Oscars. Xiao Zhang must still be holding his breath this time, two months ago, he was fully prepared to make a splash at the Oscars. It's a pity that because of the outbreak of the Iraq War, this year's Oscars temporarily canceled the red carpet session, and "Hero" finally missed the Best Foreign Language Film award, which can be described as empty-handed. This time, Xiao Zhang obviously wants to make a comeback in Cannes, even if he can't win the award, he can earn enough exposure.

Neyan had already booked a table at a seafood restaurant near the hotel, and a dozen people were a lot of money. During the film festival, it is a bit like the peak tourist season in China, with various price increases, and it is normal for an ordinary meal to cost two or three thousand euros.

Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that they came this time, and if they were ten or so hours late, they might be stranded in Paris and not be able to make it. Because from 0:00 local time on May 14, the working class on the French side will hold a 24-hour national strike. More than 80% of flights will be grounded, and no more than 25% of train lines will be operated.

Tomorrow is the opening of the world's most anticipated Cannes Film Festival, and there are very few direct flights to this part of Cannes, where most of the journalists and movie stars from all over the world have to fly here from Paris.

As a result, there will certainly be a large number of journalists and movie stars who will have an impact on their schedules, and it will also have a huge negative impact on tomorrow's opening ceremony.

It is almost unthinkable for such a thing to happen in China, but the French working class is so lovely and willful that they want to go on strike on the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, which is the world's attention, to win the attention of people all over the world. It is truly the birthplace of the Great Revolution.

Originally, it was already one o'clock in the morning of domestic time when I arrived in Cannes, and after a tiring journey, it was already ten o'clock in the evening local time after eating a seafood dinner, which was already five o'clock in the morning of the next day when converted into domestic time, and everyone was sleepy. However, Ney An and Lou Ye, who had already finished the jet lag in advance, and Zhang Ziyi, who may still be in a state of excitement, seemed to be in good spirits.

After parting at the entrance of the Barrier Hotel, Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi walked in front, Lou Ye and Nai An followed behind and were still talking, and then temporarily turned into the café on the second floor of the hotel.

Li Tang and Zhang Ziyi's rooms were arranged in two adjacent rooms on the same floor. When the two entered the elevator, Li Tang suddenly had an unnatural feeling.

Although the two have long been familiar with each other, it seems to be the first time that the two of them have been alone in a confined space, because most of the time they are filming on the set, even if they meet in private, they are accompanied by assistants. Especially when he smelled a smell of perfume wafting from Zhang Ziyi's body, he couldn't help but turn his head slightly to peek from the corner of his eyes.

I never thought that the other party was actually looking at him, his eyes met, although it was just the afterglow of his eyes, Li Tang still hurried away with a weak heart.

"Giggle......

Zhang Ziyi, who was beside him, immediately laughed, and asked in a mocking tone, "Teacher Li, what are you looking at?" ”

Silence is often the most embarrassing, since the other party took the initiative to break the silence, Li Tang simply turned his head to look at her generously and said, "Aren't you also looking at me!" ”

"Yes, you're handsome, of course I'd love to see it. Then Mr. Li, what do you want to see me? ”

"Uh......"

Li Tang was speechless for a while, he couldn't say that he was attracted by her smell. If you say it's beautiful, you can't talk about it, after all, Xiao Zhang's classmates' appearance is a little worse than Xiaopang, Teacher Jiang, and even Gao Yuanyuan, at most it's on par with his ex-girlfriend.

But you have to admit that Xiao Zhang's temperament is very unique, especially with the blessing of the star halo, and in a confined space, an unspeakable idea will always pop up involuntarily.

It's like if you take the elevator with a female boss with a strong aura and unique temperament, when you smell the good perfume smell from the female boss, and the sense of smell touches your instinct all of a sudden, then you will definitely secretly have a lust.

That's right, Li Tang just cared about lewdness.

Fortunately, at this time, I heard a "ding", and the elevator arrived at the floor, and the elevator door slowly opened.

"Oh, yes."

Li Tang hurriedly made a "please" gesture and took the opportunity to mix up.

Xiao Zhang didn't hold on, just smiled playfully, and walked out of the elevator with his feet up.

The two walked towards the room one after the other, and Li Tang, who was walking behind, once again involuntarily focused on Xiao Zhang's buttocks. Xiao Zhang looks very thin, but I have to say that the little ass is quite warped.

"Maybe it's because of the year-round dancing, right?" Li Tang was still secretly speculating in his heart.

Men, eat and drink enough, without any pressure and concerns, all that is thought in their minds is nothing more than this.

Soon came to his door, he took out the room card from his pocket to open the door, and at the same time said to Xiao Zhang, who was walking in front: "Good night!" ”

"Good Night ......"

Xiao Zhang stopped and turned around, only to see her hesitating, hesitated slightly, and said with a smile again: "Teacher Li, if it's okay, let's have a drink together?" ”

Hey?

Have a drink together?

Li Tang understood the meaning behind this sentence too well, and in the face of Xiao Zhang's clever smile, he was stunned at first, but there was a look of struggle in his eyes, but then he shook his head and said apologetically: "Thank you, no need." I was so sleepy that I wanted to rest early. ”

Xiao Zhang's expression was not different, and he still smiled and said, "Okay, good night, bye!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his little hand and waved it at him, then turned and walked towards his room.

Li Tang looked at her back for a second to show politeness, and then hurriedly pushed the door into the house, and only breathed a sigh of relief until the door was closed.

I have to say that at that moment just now, he really struggled in his heart, and it was enough to rush to Xiao Zhang's current coffee position if he didn't rush anything else.

Men are born with a desire to conquer. Even if the spring breeze is once, it can greatly satisfy vanity.

Fortunately, the exhaustion of his body and the reason in his heart still allowed him to restrain his inner impulses.

He took off his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The deliberately lowered temperature made him gradually calm down, but he inevitably regretted it when he calmed down. Xiao Zhang's performance just now is nothing more than loneliness, and in a specific situation, it is nothing more than finding someone to huddle together for warmth, or to express the inner pressure.

Helping others is the foundation of happiness, why did you refuse just now?
