Zhang Yuanjun and his entourage arrived in Cannes at 1 noon local time on the 16th.

His arrival did not attract the attention of the international media, but attracted the flashing lights of domestic journalists.

No way, Zhang Yuanjun is the only Chinese actor in the main competition unit, although he is acting in an American film.

"Yuanjun, Yuanjun, let's say a few words."

"Yuanjun, what is the special feeling of being shortlisted for the main competition for the first foreign language film."

"Will you focus your career on Hollywood in the future?"

Facing reporters, Zhang Yuanjun and assistant Xiao Zhao smiled and refused all questions, there were too many people on the scene, and it was really inconvenient to do interviews.

Moreover, now is not the time to answer questions, when the festival officially opens, there will be interviews.

Zhang Yuanjun waved his hand, said goodbye to the reporters at the scene, and left in a car.

At six o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony began on time.

Domestic and foreign reporters flocked to both sides of the red carpet, waiting for the stars to enter.

At this time, it was the early morning in China, and the domestic audience did not pay special attention to the first day of the film festival.

The crew of "Buried Alive" walked on the red carpet 10 minutes later than expected.

"Buried Alive" is a small crew, but four people walked on the red carpet.

They are the actor Zhang Yuanjun, the director Rodrigo Cortez, the film investor representative Wang Zhonglei, and Zhang Yuanjun's sister Zhang Yuanying.

Zhang Yuanying affectionately held her brother's hand, and in the face of the flashing lights of the media, she was a little unnatural.

"Leave is also what you said you want to go, and now it's like this again." Zhang Yuanjun's hands were about to be crushed by her, "You let go of me." ”

"I didn't know what it was like to walk the red carpet."

Foreign media are not much interested in the crew of "Buried Alive", but they can't resist the enthusiasm of domestic reporters.

"Who's that girl?"

"I don't know. Is it the heroine of "Buried Alive"? ”

"No, "Buried Alive" was performed by Zhang Yuanjun alone from beginning to end, and there was no one else."

Domestic journalists exchange information on the red carpet.

"Yuanjun, say a few words." Someone greeted him.

Zhang Yuanjun walked over: "What did you say?" ”

The reporter asked directly: "Who is this young lady?" ”

"My sister, pretty."

The reporter was a little disappointed, thinking that there was something fierce.

"Here, take two pictures of me and my sister." The younger brother puts his arm around his sister and faces the camera.

Zhang Yuanjun is not the kind of person who stays on the red carpet, but he also carries the task of movie promotion and Louis Vuitton's suit promotion, so he also walked for more than 4 minutes on the 60-meter red carpet.

However, Wang Zhonglei was very active, and was interviewed by domestic reporters on the red carpet, exaggerating Yuanjun at the same time, and talking more about Huayi's development strategy.

Finally, the group walked up the steps of the Movie Palace, waved under the red carpet at the entrance of the Movie Palace, and then turned around and entered the Movie Palace.

"The 60th Festival de Cannes opens. In the early morning of Beijing time, Xinlang Entertainment broadcast the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival live in pictures and texts. The picture shows Zhang Yuanjun leading the crew of "Buried Alive" on the red carpet, and the female companion on the red carpet that night was her sister who studied in France. ”

The reports of domestic online media are simple.

After the first day, Zhang Yuanjun was completely busy.

At its busiest, I rotated for 12 hours in a row and didn't eat anything except breakfast.

On the third day of the film festival, Zhang Yuanjun received the news of the domestic crew of "Love Has an Afterlife":

"Due to the early rainy season in Yunnan Province, the crew was unable to shoot normally, so Yu Feihong decided to suspend work, lead the team back to the capital, and come back after the rainy season."

What's going on!

No wonder the cost of "Love Has an Afterlife" is so high, and it's no wonder that it's not high!

Although she was far away in Cannes, Zhang Yuanjun still called Yu Feihong and asked her about the crew.

Yu Feihong said: "No way, in previous years, the rainy season generally started at the end of June, but this year I don't know why it was so much earlier, and we didn't have any preparations."

"The loss must be large, but there is no way, and it is not a way to drag it in Yunnan Province, and it is easy to have accidents.

"I'll find a way for the crew to start work when the rainy season is over." Yu Feihong didn't want to say more, so the two ended the call after saying a few words.

Also premiering on the same day as "Buried Alive" is a film from China.

"Blind Mountain"!

The film was shortlisted for a category of attention, and the theme of women's trafficking was very popular with local French audiences.

Outside the premiere theater, there are audiences waiting outside the door before 10 o'clock to open tickets.

Zhang Yuanjun was invited to attend the premiere of the film.

Judging from the lively scenes at the scene, the film festival attaches more importance to this film, and the conference specially laid a blue carpet for it.

But the Chinese movie stars in Cannes did not support the film enough, except for Zhang Yuanjun, there were no familiar faces to show up to support.

"Teacher Li Yang, I especially like your previous "Blind Well"."

"Thank you." Although Li Yang didn't know Zhang Yuanjun, he still knew the name of the first student in China, and it was already very face-saving for him to take the initiative to come to the scene today, the two shook hands and said a few words, and Zhang Yuanjun was let into the movie hall.

Watching this film in France is really different, with a different sense of realism.

With its real power and human resonance, the film won a three-minute applause from the audience at the premiere, and the scene was very spectacular.

Li Yang said that such a long-lasting warm applause finally put his mind at ease:

"At first, I didn't know how much attention would be paid to the film in Cannes, but now I am finally relieved, I don't care too much about whether I win the award or not, and I am very satisfied that my film has had such an exchange with the audience."

In response to the reporter's question that "this movie seems to be made for foreigners", Li Yang replied calmly: "Is it only foreigners who can watch such movies?" I believe that my films are not about revealing shortcomings, but about reflecting human nature. ”

That's the difficulty of being realistic.

Don't criticize, don't expose, don't be sarcastic, they say you're spineless.

criticized, they said that you deliberately sang the opposite tune and smeared the country and admired foreigners.

Zhang Yuanjun also expressed his love for this movie after the screening: "It's great, the realism of the pain can resonate with the characters through the screen." ”

In the afternoon premiere of "Buried Alive", Li Yang also brought Huang Lu to Zhang Yuanjun to cheer for him.

Compared with the premiere of "Blind Mountain", the premiere of "Buried Alive" was much more lively and grand.

After all, it is a competition film, and the audience's expectations for "Buried Alive" are more than one level higher than that of "Blind Mountain".

The guests that Zhang Yuanjun and Wang Zhonglei can invite are not comparable to Li Yang.

Du Qifeng brought the three protagonists of "Iron Triangle" to cheer.

Shu Qi also appeared at the premiere.

Jia Zhangke, chairman of the short film and film cornerstone unit of this year's film festival, and his wife Zhao Tao also came to watch the film.

Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng were also present to support.

The scene was really starry in Chinese, which gave Zhang Yuanjun enough face.

There were also many foreigners who came to support it, and anti-war is an eternal theme in Western films, and many European and American stars were invited to come.

However, many people, Zhang Yuanjun knows them, but they don't know Zhang Yuanjun.

The crew of "Buried Alive" greeted the guests on the steps of the Palais du Cinémath.

The movie is not long, only 95 minutes, but Zhang Yuanjun's performance left a deep impression on the guests and the audience.

Compared with the performance of the original Ryan Reynolds, Zhang Yuanjun gives his understanding of the characters and the environment more physiologically.

Because sometimes, no matter how the actor performs the character's psychological feelings, eyes, and micro-expressions, it is not as direct and real as the physiological reaction.

But acting out a physiological response will make the audience feel too forced, and the audience will perceive that you are acting.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yuanjun locked himself in the secret room.

He wanted to find the most realistic reaction of the characters in that environment, so that the audience would empathize.

The audience gave the crew of "Buried Alive" a 2 and a half minutes of applause and cheers!

Although the technique and ideological connotation of the film are not so artistic and avant-garde, and the theme is also old-fashioned anti-war, they love the performance of this 20-year-old young man.

Some veteran fans even praised Zhang Yuanjun: "I look forward to the day when you win the Cannes Best Actor." ”
