When I first met Zhang Manyu, I was still in the crew of "Hero" directed by Lao Mouzi.

She plays the heroine "Feixue", she is cold and noble, and in terms of acting skills, she is completely pressing the international chapter with a hammer!

Chen Fei didn't have much communication with her, and he could barely be regarded as a nodding friend.

After leaving the crew of "Hero", it was already 04 years when I heard the news about Zhang Manyu again.

With the movie "Clean", she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival and became the first Cannes actress in Asia.

Judging Chair: Quentin. Tarantino even called her "one of the best actresses of our time", and bluntly said that she deserves the honor of being the actress!

Later, the New York Times named her one of the 22 great performers in the film industry in 2006, and commented that she can perfectly interpret both the classical image of China and the modern image of the West, and her acting skills are solid and comprehensive.

But since joining Cannes, Zhang Manyu has entered a period of "always having a schedule, and never having a schedule".

Nanjing! At the time of the filming of "Nanjing", Lu Chuan was still clamoring in front of the media that she would be invited to participate in the filming and was negotiating.

It's just that he didn't think that Zhang Manyu contacted the media the next day to make a clarification, which embarrassed Lu Chuan and the thief.

To be honest, compared with other Hong Kong female stars, Chen Fei doesn't think her appearance is very high, but her temperament is definitely one of the best!

The look in his eyes when he played "Feixue" has made Chen Fei a little unforgettable!

～

At the front desk of the restaurant, Zhang Manyu took the initiative to say hello.

"Director Chen is coming for dinner?"

"yes, yes."

Chen Fei nodded, glanced at Zhang Manyu and her companions, and asked politely: "Are you going to leave?" ”

"yes, we're done."

Zhang Manyu smiled very generously and took the initiative to introduce him to a foreigner next to him: "This is Stephen Freys, a British director, and the chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival." ”

"Hello."

Adhering to politeness, Chen Fei took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the other party.

I didn't think about it, the red-faced British foreigner who didn't have a few hairs on his head hugged him very excitedly, "Oh! Fei！ That surf of yours was so cool! ”

Obviously, another extreme sports enthusiast...

exchanged a few words of greeting, left each other's contact information, and everyone parted.

Before leaving, Zhang Manyu greeted a few people behind Chen Fei cordially, and the face was absolutely in place!

"It's worthy of being an international mix, this style is really a cow!"

Zhou Xun's personality is also quite good, what do you have to say, she is the kind of straightforward and fast-talking, and she is very emotional when she sees Zhang Manyu leave.

Chen Fei smiled and quipped: "Work hard, maybe one day you can reach such heights as her." ”

"Difficult! Hard! ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Xun quickly suppressed the envy in his heart.

The competition for mainland female stars is not ordinary, and she can only mix with mainland film festivals now, and it is not so simple to go international.

Strictly speaking, Chen Fei's film is the most commendable film in the 15 years since her debut.

Nominated for actress at the Cannes International Film Festival in France!

This honor alone has opened a big distance from other actresses.

…

The red carpet of the opening ceremony featured a star-studded show.

In a bunch of foreigners, the crew of "Thief Family" led by Chen Fei is still quite conspicuous, and as soon as they came to the red carpet, they received bursts of cheers from the scene!

Of course, most of these cheers were given to Chen Fei.

The impact of the surfing challenge is not ordinary, and the full video is available on major portals in various countries, gathering a large number of fans for him.

Under the flashlight, several people had reserved smiles on their faces.

Chen Fei is wearing a light gray suit today, and his slim clothes show that he is tall, his face is sharp and angular, and his fortitude is profound.

Wang Zhiwen was wearing a set of Mao suits, elegant and gentle, like a literary school.

Zhou Xun, who was beside him, was wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, with a faint sense of excitement at night, and even greeted domestic reporters warmly.

After making sure that she wouldn't say the phrase "so many people", Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't you dare to let Zhou Gongzi's famous scene appear here!

The fragrant wind is blowing in his nose, and Zhu Zhu next to him is quite bold in his clothes.

She wore a white fishtail floor-length tuxedo today, with a big V-neck in the front, and the back was bare and even the deep furrow could be seen a little further down.

The entire gown was covered in bright silver sequins that shimmered in the flash!

"Who helped you choose this dress?"

As he walked towards the signature wall, Chen Fei asked curiously.

"My agency..."

The smile on Zhu Zhu's face was a little stiff, if this evening dress was placed on a foreign female star, it would be very sparse and ordinary, but on the side of domestic entertainment, it is estimated that Fan Ye, Zhang Jingchu, and International Chapter dare to wear it.

Now, at the request of the brokerage company, she has to be "bold" once.

Although she has received an open education since she was a child, she is still quite conservative in her heart, and unless it is required by the plot, she generally does not wear that kind of revealing clothes.

The idea of the agency is very straightforward, it is to make her famous in Cannes!

The red carpet ceremony is a must for female stars!

Judging from the frequent flashing lights around, the purpose of the brokerage company has indeed been achieved, but after the news is transmitted back to China, she is afraid that she will have to suffer a wave of criticism.

"Director Chen, can I delay you for a few minutes?"

There were reporters shouting outside the venue, Chen Fei turned his head to look at it, and smiled slightly: "Let's talk after the opening ceremony, there are other people waiting to enter the venue." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

…

The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is not much different from the opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, the same president of the jury takes the stage to speak, and then everyone in the venue watches the opening ceremony film together.

Wang Jiawei sat on Chen Fei's right hand side, and there was Zhang Manyu in the middle.

The organizer is quite considerate, and deliberately arranged the Chinese directors and actors in the same column to facilitate communication.

After watching "Blueberry Night", Wang Jiawei poked his head and took the initiative to ask Chen Fei: "What does Director Chen think of my film?" ”

After thinking about it, Chen Fei replied: "It's quite in line with Director Wang's consistent style, poetic, soft, full of nostalgia pale yellow and hazy lights are the background color of the film, and the illusory romance of old Hong Kong has also found a foothold in the high-rise buildings of New York City in a trance."

There is also the deliberately slowed down shot, the sexy local close-up, which does not stay between the legs and skirts, but moves to the face, which not only tests the director's ability, but also tests the actor's skills, which is very good on the whole. ”

There is no contradiction between the two, so when making an evaluation, Chen Fei also picks good words to say.

It is absolutely impossible for him to say in front of Wang Jiawei: The story of your movie is so thin that it makes people sleepy...

That would be a bit too faceless.

Wang Jiawei, who is nearly 50 years old, is very happy to smile, and it is also an honor for him to be given such a high evaluation by a cutting-edge Chinese director!

"Haha, if you have a chance, you must cooperate with Director Chen once."

"Okay!"

Chen Fei's eyes lit up, he still has a lot of Hong Kong film scripts in his hands.

Although Lao Wang's screenwriting level is not very good, his directing level is still quite good, and it is just right to pick him up with a handful of wool.

…

At the end of the opening ceremony, Chen Fei and a group of people came to the theater hall.

"Thief Family" specially rented an advertising space in the lobby, and the huge poster was quite conspicuous and attracted the attention of many people.

There are only about 20 films in the main competition, and almost every one of them is the goal of studios around the world!

Seeing Chen Fei come out, a group of people quickly approached him.

"Director Chen, can I talk to you about the copyright sale?"

“Fei！ My old friend, you must choose me this time. ”

“Oh！ This movie literally made me cry dry my tear ducts, it's so good, I have to bring it back to my country! ”

“……”

The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival also coincided with the premiere of "Family of Thieves".

Although the main creators did not attend the premiere, the works of the directors of the Golden Bear Award, coupled with Chen Fei's excellent achievements in recent years, have directly attracted the attention of countless film companies!

The small filmmakers knew that they would definitely not have a chance, and most of them chose to give up directly, but those big filmmakers gathered together.

At first glance, "The Thief Family" seems to be a bittersweet fable.

But as the story progresses and the level deepens, everyone realizes that it is not only a moving family film, but also a deep sigh and review of the failures of society and the inadequacies of human nature!

And after watching this film, there is only one thought left in the hearts of the filmmakers.

Be sure to buy it!

This kind of film will never be outdated no matter how it is adapted, focusing on the underlying survival logic composed of pensions, housing, medical care, funerals, etc., which can move people's hearts the most!

It's a pity that Chen Fei won't fall for them.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's too early to talk about copyright, and we can talk about it after the awards."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the filmmakers suddenly darkened.

"Ugh."

The group sighed, but did not continue to surround him, and scattered in all directions.

The lessons of the Golden Bear Awards Ceremony are still in front of them, they know Chen Fei's style, since he said that he won't sell it now, he will definitely not sell it!

You can only wait for the award to end before bidding.

…

After being interviewed by some domestic reporters, the news of Chen Fei's participation in the Cannes International Film Festival soon spread back to China.

In particular, the picture of the red carpet of the opening ceremony was put on the homepage interface by the media.

"Handsome men and beautiful women" are always the most eye-catching!

As expected, Zhu Zhu, who was boldly dressed, once again became the target of those old pedants in the literary and artistic circles.

It is simply a kind of blasphemy to wear such a "vulgar" dress in such a "high" place, and it is a shame to be thrown abroad! ”

"This kind of artist should be banned!"

"Forbidden shadows, let the rest of the actresses take warning..."

All kinds of evaluations are not only spread in the domestic media, but even traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to reach Chen Fei's ears.

Looking at Zhu Zhu's nervous expression, Chen Fei pursed his lips and said casually, "What are you doing with those people?" Just pretend they don't exist.

The loess is almost half buried, and maybe one day they will lie down, just as if they were farting.

Still blocked? Give them face? Let them try to seal one for me? I see who would dare to play this set in front of me? A bunch of old things who don't respect the old! ”

Chen Fei's words didn't save face for the group of old men at all, and he said it publicly in front of several media, making it clear that he wanted to support Zhu Zhu.

The reporter of the sixth princess silently turned off the camera, and this kind of report is not suitable for the official media.

But several other media don't care about this, especially the reporter from Sohujia who provoked the topic, and he was even more excited at this time!

Made!

Young people are so imposing!

dared to openly fire at those "old artists" in China, Chen Fei is also unique.

The news quickly spread back to China, and for a while, the media in the mainland became even more lively!

Where did the old artists get this kind of anger? They all withdrew the spearhead from Zhu Zhu and quickly transferred it to Chen Fei.

"This son, virtue is not worthy!"

"If you don't even have the least respect and lack of character, how can you take on the important task of revitalizing the film and television industry?"

"This film festival will be a futile."

"Shut him down! It is strictly forbidden for him to continue filming in the mainland! ”

"Expulsion from the Division..."

The hustle and bustle in the mainland continued, and the old artists held their own noble status, prominent status, and condescending, constantly expressing their opinions in major media and criticizing Chen Fei's writings.

But he didn't care.

If you like it, just say it, anyway, you don't need him to pay for your life.

Approaching the closing ceremony, Chen Fei was waiting for a call or invitation from the organizer.

As is customary, films that have won awards are usually invited again individually, and the main creative team is required to attend the awards ceremony dinner.

This is already the unspoken rule of the three European gold schemes.

"Jingle bell..."

The sudden ringing of the phone made Chen Fei's heart tremble.

Got news?

Under the gaze of several other people in the room, he quickly picked up his phone.

But when I looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be Lao Zhao's!

"Hello? Lao Zhao, what are you doing? Answering the phone with some disappointment, Chen Fei smacked his lips and responded weakly.

"There are a few old guys who have signed a letter and want Nortel to fire you."

Lao Zhao seemed to be holding back a smile, and his tone was full of mockery.

Chen Fei was immediately happy: "What does the school say? ”

"The principal threw the letter directly in the trash, and specially held a meeting for us, and if anyone dared to accept this kind of letter, he would take the initiative to resign and go home to farm."

"What about Professor Jiang? He didn't say anything? ”

"He went to Venice, "Nanjing! Nanking! was beaten back by the General Administration five times, and I saw that Lu Chuan crying several times. ”

"Hahaha!"

Nortel made it clear that it wanted to support Chen Fei, and the internal opinions were extremely unified.

Expel?

Expulsion?

Those old things are really trying to eat fart!

If this kind of outstanding graduate student is really expelled from Nortel, he doesn't know how to laugh at being in the drama and the drama!

After chatting a few words, Chen Fei hung up the phone.

But before he could tell the joke to the other people in the room, the phone suddenly rang again.

"Sister Manyu?"

Chen Fei was inexplicably a little nervous, Zhang Manyu's phone call was really coincidental.

"Remember to come to the closing ceremony."

I didn't say much, and hung up the phone after a simple sentence.

"Can I get a prize?" Zhou Xun looked excited.

"Well, there is!"

Chen Fei replied with great certainty.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhu's screams resounded throughout the room!

She seemed to have seen the picture of Chen Fei holding the trophy in his hand and slapping the shoehorn faces of those old guys!

…

Two days passed in a flash.

Domestic news is still messy, and most of the "old-timers" are not optimistic about Chen Fei.

That's the Cannes International Film Festival, where films from more than 20 countries around the world participate in the selection, how could they be picked up by a hairy boy in his twenties?

On the morning of the 27th.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Fei led the members of the crew of "Thief Family" to the waiting area for the closing ceremony.

"Fei, your movie is awesome."

"Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people..."

"I like this film so much, the picture seems to be calm as water, but the emotional tension is penetrating out bit by bit, and I cried unconsciously at the end, which is really shocking!"

“…”

There were a lot of people who came to say hello.

"Thief Family" was screened for more than ten days, which can be described as full, bringing a strong shock to many people.

The complexity of human nature is actually expressed in a soothing and restrained way, which is simply breathtaking!

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Chen Fei's smile is bright, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

…

There were many people rubbing the red carpet on the red carpet at the closing ceremony, and there were even actresses who took the initiative to fall down and deliberately showed the spring light on their chests.

"Hey? I'm really good at playing! ”

Seeing an actress on the red carpet being taken out by the security guards, Chen Fei was suddenly happy.

Zhu Zhu was dressed very subtly tonight, looking at the European and American actress who was forced to take out, she tightened Chen Fei's arm, and secretly congratulated herself that she was so lucky.

The group walked on the red carpet, accompanied by flashing lights, and stopped in front of the host for a while.

"Fei, I watched your surfing challenge, and I'm really shocked that you came back alive."

"Haha, when I thought that there was still a prize waiting for me to receive here, I suddenly had endless motivation, and my desire to survive exploded to a very strong state."

As soon as the words fell, the cheers on the scene suddenly became enthusiastic!

That challenge really shocked so many people!

…

As night fell, the lights shone brightly, and the awards ceremony officially began, and the huge auditorium was packed.

Cornerstone of Cinema and Short Film Unit, Golden Camera, Un Certain Sense of Interest......

Three non-main competition awards were announced in succession, which caused a wave of enthusiasm.

Jury Award for Best Short Film, Best Picture for Caméra d'Or, Palme d'Or for Best Short Film......

The second stage of the award came to an end quickly, and several foreigners who Chen Fei didn't know at all walked onto the podium, and one of them even burst into tears!

Wang Zhiwen suddenly asked: "Is there a big investment in the shooting of short films?" ”

"It depends on what type and style it is..."Chen Fei said while looking at him curiously: "Do you want to try it?" If you are interested, you can come to our company to find me. ”

Wang Zhiwen was obviously a little moved, his eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded silently.

Best screenplay went to a Turkish-German co-production, while the Jury Prize went to the director of "Silent Sunshine".

"Then it's all about the big prizes."

Chen Fei muttered, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

Comparatively speaking, Wang Zhiwen and Zhou Xun are even more nervous than him!

"Best Actress Award at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival, Jeon Do-yeon "Miryang".

Zhou Xun let out a sigh, and his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Chen Fei arranged for her: "Don't be disappointed, this is just the beginning, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

In comparison, Wang Zhiwen's qi cultivation kung fu was even stronger, as if he had thought of something, his body instantly relaxed a lot.

"Best Actor Award at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival, Constantin Larannico "Banishing Love".

The applause rang out, Wang Zhiwen looked at Chen Fei with a smile and quipped: "Director, the next awards are all awards." ”

"Whew..."

With a sigh of relief, Chen Fei secretly looked forward to it in his heart.

Can you be the brightest star tonight?

"Best Director: Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."

Breathing began to become rapid, and Chen Fei's eyes stared at the podium without blinking.

"Grand Jury Prize: "Forest of Logs" (Naomi Kawase)!"

A Japanese female director walked on stage, held the trophy, and told a lot of interesting stories about the filming.

Moments later, the president of the jury, Stephen Freys, walked up to the podium, smiled and opened the envelope, pulling out a beautifully crafted card.

"The Palme d'Or for Best Film at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival was won by ......"

There were many people staring directly at the stage, and the Palme d'Or trophy seemed to be flashing with a seductive light, which was moving!

"Allow me to sell first, because the winner of the award is one of my favorite directors, he has a variety of styles, a lot of talent, and a lot of amazing work......"

On stage, Stephen Frese talked eloquently, almost saying that the Palme d'Or winner is unique in the world!

Chen Fei's breathing became inexplicably short......

"Let's welcome Hollywood's youngest cutting-edge A-class production director, a talented director who has won the Golden Bear, Saturn Award, Golden Globe Award, Oscar and other awards: Chen Fei!"

Stephen Freys's Chinese is a bit tongue-twisting, but the words "Chen Fei" are very clear.

The applause in the venue was thunderous, enthusiastic and intense!

Chen Fei stood up, hugged each other with Zhou Xun, Zhu Zhu, Wang Zhiwen, Zhang Manyu, and Wang Jiawei, and then walked to the podium.

"Fei, do you want to say something?" Stephen Frey looked at him with a smile.

Taking the Palme d'Or trophy and looking at the golden palm branches engraved on it, Chen Fei breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I am honored to be the second Chinese director to win the Palme d'Or in history, and I am very grateful to the jury for their recognition, and I am also very grateful to every actor in the crew for their hard work, this is not just a trophy for me, but a trophy for all the actors.

In fact, before I came to the Cannes Film Festival, I suffered a lot of criticism, after all, I am only a young director in his twenties, and my works will inevitably be questioned by many old-timers and artists.

But fortunately, I didn't let the old-timers "down", and in the next time, I will definitely make persistent efforts and create more brilliance.

I firmly believe that life never ends! The struggle does not stop! ”

Offstage, Zhou Xun and several people tried to hold back their laughter, for fear that they would suddenly lose their breath.

Zhang Manyu, who knows the inside story, covered her mouth slightly, and the corners of her mouth were more difficult to press than AK47!

This statement is really ruthless! It's completely roasting the old things of the domestic corpse vegetarian meal on the fire!

The state is gradually coming back, the update is a little late, I'm sorry, one hand is a little swollen to hit the hanging bottle, not very comfortable
