Chapter 390: Arrival in Cannes

After accompanying Liu Xiaoli to spend Mother's Day, the next day, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei went to school to report.

said that this semester, the two didn't even attend the opening ceremony, first rushed to promote Chen Shuo's album, and then went to filming, and they didn't return to school until now.

Seeing the arrival of the two, Wang Jinsong couldn't help but feel a little angry, drank tea, didn't glance at the two of them, and said lightly: "Do you still know how to come back?" ”

"Oh, teacher, we've got something good for you." Chen Shuo was cheeky, put a bag of things in front of Wang Jinsong with a smile on his face, and said, "Look at it, chrysanthemum tea, it's just right to dispel the fire." ”

Wang Jinsong screwed the lid of the teacup when he heard this, paused on the table, and said angrily: "I think you are here to arch the fire!" ”

"No, this tea is really fire-dispelling." Chen Shuo said again, "Teacher, last semester you said that we were the light of the North Shadow and the hope of reviving the North Shadow, and you won't admit it this year?" ”

"Uh, ahem......" Wang Jinsong's tone froze, coughed lightly, eased a little and said, "Tell me, how long can you two stay in school?" ”

"It's not going to be a good job this semester." Chen Shuo immediately assured: "At most, I will follow Director Zhang to participate in the Cannes Film Festival."

Then Yifei will record songs and shoot MVs, but these can be done after class. ”

Wang Jinsong nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "I can't control you so much, I will start to get busy in the second half of the year, and the duties of the head teacher will be handed over to Chunzi at that time." ”

Chen Shuo and the others couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this: "The teacher is not the head teacher?" ”

Wang Jinsong explained: "It's not inappropriate, I'm still your homeroom teacher, if there is anything, you can still find me, but the daily affairs are handed over to Chunzi to be responsible." ”

Although he is not often in school, Chen Shuo still knows that Wang Jinsong, as the vice president of the acting academy, has a lot of affairs to do.

At the same time, he also served as the director and director of several large-scale performances in the school, and he really didn't have time to get busy again in the second half of the year.

And in the second half of the year, they will be in their junior year, and it's time to go out to find characters and experience crew life.

At that time, there were not many classes in school.

Speaking of film and television school, there is also a paradox, the teachers in the first two years of the school hope that you can honestly study in school and lay a good foundation.

When you reach your junior year, I wish you could find a good opportunity to play the leading role immediately.

However, there is basically no opportunity to contact the crew in school, and when I suddenly look for it in my junior year, where can I find it?

Some seniors may not be able to find an opportunity to play a supporting role.

After chatting for a while, Chen Shuo and the two said goodbye and left, and went back to the classroom.

Seeing the two coming back, even Zhu Yawen and others, who had been good before, had a sense of estrangement.

As they are about to enter their junior year, they are also slowly getting in touch with the cruelty of the outside world.

Knowing the gap between himself and Chen Shuo, he couldn't help but hesitate a little when facing the two.

Chen Shuo didn't feel anything about this, but after two days of getting along, it was back to normal.

After a week of class, Zhang Weiping called and told the two that they were going to Cannes.

After receiving the news, Chen Shuo and the two cleaned up and went to the star screen rendezvous with Liu Xiaoli, Huang Ying and a stylist.

The main personnel who went to Cannes this time were Zhang Yimou, Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei.

Zhang Yimou and Andy Lau naturally needless to say, the director and male protagonist of this drama.

Although Liu Yifei took a curtain call in the second half, there were still a lot of memories in the end, and she had a lot of scenes, so she was the first heroine.

Although Chen Shuo is nominally the second male, in terms of the shots taken, there are more than the male protagonist Andy Lau.

Although Zhang Ziyi does not have many scenes, she has a lot of popularity in the world because she starred in world-renowned works such as "My Father and Mother", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Hero".

Now, Andy Lau joined Jiang Zhiqiang in Xiangjiang to go together, while Zhang Ziyi set off from Dongying to meet in Cannes.

After arriving at the star picture, in addition to Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping, there were also production director Zhang Zhenyan, documentary director Gan Lu, senior reporter Zhang Weiguo and others of "Imperial Capital Youth Daily".

plus assistants, translators, more than ten people, and five people including Chen Shuo, it is also a big team.

After meeting, Zhang Yimou looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "How is it?" You ready? What you will face next is the whole world! ”

During this time, he had been working in Australia for the later stages of "Ambush on All Sides" and did not return until two days ago.

Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei glanced at each other and said, "This, we can only say that we do our best." We don't have experience with this kind of thing either. When the time comes, I just hope that I won't give it to the director and don't embarrass the Chinese people. ”

Zhang Weiping, who was watching everyone pack up their things, turned his head and smiled. "Don't worry, come generously, you are not afraid of being embarrassed, then you will not be ashamed."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "What Wei Ping said is right. But I also have one word of caution.

Try not to talk too much about things that have nothing to do with you during interviews, and don't express opinions about things other than yourself and your work.

After all, you are still young and newcomers, and if you express some opinions too explicitly, it may have some unnecessary impact on your future development. ”

"Don't worry, director, we can see our own weight." Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei nodded seriously.

"For us, as long as we can participate in this film festival, it is a kind of improvement, we can see the world now, and we will have opportunities in the future."

"Okay, ambitious." Zhang Yimou patted Chen Shuo's shoulder and asked, "Did you bring the dress?" Or is there preparation over there? If not, you don't have to force it, just wear something formal. ”

"Bring it, after you said that you were going to participate in the film festival, we found someone to design a dress, or would you look at it and see if it fits?"

"Yes." Zhang Yimou nodded.

Originally, when he said this, he hoped that the two would not make some inappropriate moves like Zhang Ziyi at the beginning.

Seeing Chen Shuo so upright, he was even more satisfied.

There was no need for Chen Shuo to say more, Huang Ying just said it, and went downstairs with the stylist to bring up the box containing the two's dresses.

After opening it, with the help of the two, Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei took the dress and gestured on their bodies.

After seeing the effect of the two dresses, Zhang Yimou's eyes couldn't help but light up, and said: "Your design style is quite novel. It has both a Western fashion sense and an Eastern classical charm, which matches the temperament of the two of you. ”

Although Zhang Yimou usually doesn't pay attention to what he wears, it is undeniable that his vision and aesthetics are definitely ahead of his time.

It's not far behind some of the most famous international designers.

Zhang Weiping, Chang Xiaoyang, Gan Lu and others saw it, and they were full of praise, feeling that these two dresses were very suitable for the two.

Chen Shuo smiled when he heard this: "Originally, we still had some drums in our hearts, and we felt that we were a little maverick, but since the director thinks it is good, it must be no problem." When the time comes to walk the red carpet, the two of us will wear this outfit. ”

"These two dresses are perfectly fine." Zhang Yimou affirmed: "It's a pity that we didn't participate in the competition unit this time and didn't apply for any awards."

Otherwise, with the performance of the two of you, it is impossible to achieve something. ”

In '99, Zhang Yimou entered Cannes with "No One Missing", but President Jill Jacob thought the film had "political implications" and hoped that he could use "My Father and Mother" instead of "No One Missing".

This angered Zhang Yimou, and he publicly announced that both films would withdraw from the Cannes Film Festival at the same time.

and submitted an open letter to Jacob on a "rupture", saying that it had shaken the festival's purpose of cherishing art.

Now this time, he didn't submit any selection, but planned to take this opportunity to hold a film festival here.

Chen Shuo shook his head when he heard this: "We don't think much about this, presenting the art in the director's mind is our greatest hope." ”

"Well, that's a good point." Zhang Yimou patted him and said, "Okay, put it away." Pack up and let's go. ”

Huang Ying put away the two dresses, and when Zhang Yimou and the others cleaned up again, the group went to the airport.

Running all the way, first by plane to Paris, then by car to Nice to Cannes, by the time the place arrived, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning on the 18th.

Just yesterday, "Ambush on All Sides" has completed its premiere in Bazin Hall under the attention of more than 1,000 journalists and filmmakers from all over the world.

There will also be a viewing party this afternoon.

Of course, the real premiere for the audience will be tomorrow night, when there will be a red carpet and a cocktail party.

After arriving at the hotel, I met Jiang Zhiqiang, Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi and others who had arrived yesterday, and everyone happily greeted and chatted.

This time, everyone's mentality is still relatively relaxed, after all, if you don't participate in the selection, there will be a lot less pressure.

What is the result of this screening depends on how Zhang Yimou's film is filmed.

No matter how big the wrists of several people are, they can't be as big as Zhang Yimou, as long as there are not too big mistakes in his acting skills, then all the problems will be borne by him.

Zhang Yimou saw that everyone was a little tired, and said, "After running all the way, everyone must be tired, take a break, and then start the interview.

Let's enjoy the style of Cannes for the second time in the evening and have a meal together. ”

He said to Chen Shuo and the others: "It's your first time here, you can go around more often and feel the artistic atmosphere here."

At this time of year, the best filmmakers from all over the world gather here.

Walk around and see more, I think it will bring you some new insights. ”

Chen Shuo nodded and said: "The customs here are indeed different from those of Ukraine, and there is a more youthful atmosphere. ”

"Be careful, don't be dazzled by beauty fans from all over the world." Andy Lau laughed: "You know, foreign girls are very open and bold." ”

"It's okay, I'll take Sissi with me then, I think they will be ashamed of themselves when they see Sissi." Chen Shuo said, holding Liu Yifei's hand.

Maybe there's a different kind of magic here, which makes people's hearts open up a bit.

Seeing this, Zhang Yimou, Liu Dehua and others couldn't help but shake their heads and smile.
