Capital.

Cai Xu Ji.

This is a small shop specializing in Linyi fried chicken, the owner is good at fried chicken, and also likes to play basketball, Xu Ning often comes here to eat.

In the small restaurant, two tables are put together, and Xu Ning, Han Sanping, Huang Bo, Yu Nan and other creators of "No Man's Land" are sitting together.

Han Sanping, as the distributor of the film, knew that the film was nominated for Cannes, and called to congratulate him as soon as possible, and also said that the matter of overseas copyright was on him.

As the only company in mainland China that has the right to import films, China Film has overseas business all over the world, and it is a piece of cake to sell the copyright of "No Man's Land" in Cannes.

"Director Xu, it's no surprise that this movie will definitely win the award...... You see, there is a bullish voice on the Internet. ”

Han Sanping held his mobile phone and swiped the news.

But.

A piece of Sohu news made him feel like he had eaten a fly, his face turned from red to iron, and he slapped the table: "Damn." ”

Seven or eight people at the table put down their chopsticks.

looked at Han Sanping.

Xu Ning looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong, Mr. Han?" ”

"I don't even want to have a face." Han Sanping handed over the phone and put it in front of Xu Ning, "Look at this news, what did this guy Lou Ye do." ”

On the screen of the mobile phone, a line of words was written: "Lou Ye bluntly said: "No Man's Land" has three wrong views and should be banned! ”

Lou Ye, graduated from Nortel's directing department, is a classmate with Wang Xiaoshuai, and has been nominated for some foreign film festival awards with films such as "Suzhou River".

In 2006, he filmed "Yi He Yuan", which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but because he was not reviewed by the General Administration of Fine Arts, he was required not to make films for five years.

Just from the names of "Summer Palace" and the literary films he made before, you can see that he has made some films with some themes - basically they are made to cater to foreign film festivals, in order to cater to the aesthetics of foreigners, and to win some so-called awards.

No wonder the General Administration banned his "Summer Palace".

What kind of Chinese movies do foreigners want to watch?

Anyone who understands understands.

This time, it was banned for five years.

Lou Ye made a comeback with his new film "The Night of the Spring Breeze", and was nominated for the Cannes Main Competition Unit - Palme d'Or and the Best Screenplay Award.

And this movie, the nomination award is exactly the same as Xu Ning's "No Man's Land", which can explain why he came out to denigrate "No Man's Land".

"Write something, he, my "No Man's Land" three views are not correct? The whole film explores human nature and leads them to the right side...... He just came out of his mouth, is he not in a bad brain? ”

Xu Ning was speechless.

On the other hand, Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Drunk Night" is a bloody movie that really steps on horses, and those who have seen it will know that the theme of this movie is "cheating, homosexuality, suicide, and peeping." ”

This movie ......

It's about a woman who suspects her husband of cheating, so she hires a private detective to investigate, and later learns that her husband is cheating on a man (gay A).

She went to her husband's unit to make a big fuss and forced her husband to commit suicide...... Later, the detective's girlfriend fell in love with this A again, and A talked to this woman for a while and broke up, and then went to find another male ketone to live.

What a special and outrageous plot......

Challenging ethics.

But that's the kind of plot,

He won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.

……

Lou Ye has watched "No Man's Land" and knows that this movie is very good, even surpassing his movies, so he has a sense of crisis.

After all, it is impossible for the Cannes Film Festival to award two awards to two Chinese films at once, and only one of them can win an award.

The huge desire to win made him lose his mind, and he even began to criticize Xu Ning's movie, which is like a shell job - looking for.

Huang Bo also took out his mobile phone to check, and jumped to his feet angrily after reading it: "Stepping on a horse, this surnamed Lou is tired and crooked, I will scold him on Weibo." ”

Han Sanping shook his head and smiled: "He was forced to be in a hurry, he was banned for five years, and he met a big guy like you as soon as he came out of the mountain, and he was very panicked." ”

Xu Ning handed the phone to Lao Han, sandwiched a piece of chicken thigh meat and put it in his mouth, and the spicy and tender taste stimulated his taste buds.

"I didn't mess with him, he actually jumped out to provoke me, really...... Eat and drink first, and talk about it tomorrow. He picked up his glass, shook his head and smiled.

……

Following.

When attending the roadshow of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", reporters from Sina, Sohu and NetEase asked about Lou Ye.

Without waiting for Xu Ning to answer,

Zhang Guoli, who played Chang Kaishen, said with a smile:

"Some people, if they can't compete in hard power, they will use some indiscriminate moves, but they don't know that his behavior is very disgusting."

Zhang Guoli actually wanted to say that Xu Ning's indiscriminate moves could not be used, and he could ban your movie with his fingers, but considering the impact, he still swallowed it.

Hu Jun, Li Lianjie, Zhou Yanfa and others on the side laughed after hearing this, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively.

Zhou Yanfa: "Fair competition, why bother? ”

Hu Jun: "He didn't say it in front of me, if he dared to slander Director Xu in front of me, I wouldn't beat him and cry." ”

Li Lianjie: "I have watched "No Man's Land", and I think it is a movie that is worth reflecting on, and there is no situation where the three views are not correct. ”

“……”

The speeches of these people,

almost pointed at Lou Ye's nose and scolded "jumping clown". Before Xu Ning made a move, he made the surnamed Lou lose face.

This news interview was quickly posted.

There was a heated discussion on the Internet again.

"Haha, the surname Lou is confused."

"It's all on the side of Director Xu."

"Our Xu Dao's connections are wide."

"The surname Lou has been banned for five years, and I don't know who is that in the entertainment industry now (thumbs up), it feels funny, I touched the porcelain and touched Xu Dao's head."

"The movie surnamed Lou is disgusting, what kind of stuff is filmed, cheating, homosexuality, reasoning...... You don't have anything else to shoot? ”

"I don't have the right views on the subject matter I shoot, and I dare to say that Director Xu's "No Man's Land" is really laughing off my big teeth, don't block your own movies again."

"Haha, congratulations to Director Lou for being banned from filming for five years?"

As a literary and artistic youth, Lou Ye is not afraid.

On the forum and Weibo and Xu Ning's fans on the line.

before

Something like this.

Most Nortel-born directors will stand in line.

As we all know, Nortel is the most grouped.

But this time......

But no one spoke.

Chen Shiren, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gu Changwei and others all turned a blind eye, and when asked by the media, they also said that they did not know.

Until the day before he went to Cannes, Lou Ye also criticized "No Man's Land" on the Internet, and also complained to the Cannes jury about "No Man's Land".

May 11th.

Aerodrome.

Xu Ning and Lou Ye happened to be on the same plane.

In the waiting room, Xu Ning walked over and shook hands with him, "Director Lou, I heard that you have some opinions on my movie, can you tell me in person?" ”

Lou Ye was a little flustered, but he still snorted coldly: "Hmph! There's nothing to say, we'll see you at Cannes. ”

Xu Ning shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid, you won't see this day...... Good luck! ”

Lou Ye suddenly felt not very good, and shouted, "Xu Ning, what are you doing?" Don't use villain methods, despicable and shameless. ”

Huang Bo rushed over and was a "brute bull collision", clinging to Lou Ye, and the surnamed Lou's "unsteady self-standing" fell to the ground.

"Why did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Director Xu has already given you a chance, but you are useless! Huang Bo took a sip and returned to his seat.

Lou Ye was angry, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, he was afraid that Huang Bo would rush over and beat him again, so he could only say in his mouth, "Don't have an accident, don't have an accident." ”

Fan Bing'er sat next to Xu Ning and smiled brightly: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a person, I really want to win the award and go crazy." ”

Xiao Fan, this girl, is here to rub the red carpet.

In the beginning,

Xu Ning didn't want to take her.

But.

She served him in a very unique way for two consecutive nights, and Xu Ning reluctantly agreed to bring her over.

"Brother Ning, shall we stay a little longer on the red carpet?" Fan Bing'er said longingly.

"Don't, let others see me walking the red carpet with you, there will definitely be an affair." Xu Ning chose to refuse, after all, he would be jealous if he was such a confidante.

"Ah, what about me...... Walk alone? ”

"You can go with Huang Bo."

Huang Bo: "And this good thing? ”

Xu Ning snapped and knocked on Huang Bo's head, "Don't think about it, just let you take Xiao Fan." ”

Huang Bo said with a smile: "Director Xu, I understand, I won't have the slightest thought of your woman beating me to death, I swear." ”

Fan Bing'er: "Giggles!" ”

Sure enough, "Red Carpet Ice" lives up to its name.

She can be seen on the red carpet anywhere, and her obsession with this industry is too deep.

……

The small town of Cannes, France.

Located near the port city of Nice in the south of France, it is a characteristic tourist town on the Mediterranean coast, with a constant number of tourists every year.

Xu Ning, Han Sanping, and Fan Bing'er are taking the main creators of the "No Man's Land" crew and the company's employees to sit by the beach to eat and watch the scenery.

Xu Ning picked up his wine glass and looked to the east: "Today is May 12th, a year, bless everyone." ”

Han Sanping also sighed: "Blessings." ”

Subsequently.

More than a dozen people toasted to the East with their glasses.

made foreigners stunned.

Following.

Xu Ning and Han Sanping walked on the red carpet in front of the movie palace, and domestic and foreign reporters shot at Xu Ning, "OMG, this Chinese is really handsome." ”

Knowing what the foreigner reporter said, Fan Bing'er and Huang Bo stood together and posed, and said with a smile: "Brother Ning, foreigners praise you for being handsome." ”

This is not obvious.

Xu Ning stood for less than two minutes and was about to walk into the movie palace, when a somewhat familiar face attracted him: "Quentin?!" ”

Han Sanping smiled: "Hahaha, this Quentin, awesome, treats the Cannes red carpet as a personal dance floor." ”

Seeing this person, Xu Ning remembered a famous scene - "Awesome! ”

This year, Quentin entered Cannes with his new movie "Inglourious Basterds", and finally won the "Best Actor Award".

"Cow ...... Force!"

After Quentin finished dancing, Han Sanping shouted.

As if hearing the familiar horn, Quentin suddenly turned around, and when he saw that it was Lao Han, he walked over with a smile.

He originally wanted to hug Han Sanping, but after seeing Xu Ning, he shouted in his mouth: ", XuNing, I finally saw you in Cannes." ”

Xu Ning's spending millions of dollars to buy scripts in Hollywood has long been a household name, and the first time Quentin saw him, he was immediately attracted by Xu Ning's appearance.

Several people chatted on the red carpet.

The cameras of the media took a wild shot at everyone.

According to the rules, ordinary people can't leave too much time on the red carpet, otherwise, the organizer's security guards will urge.

But.

Xu Ning and Quentin chatted here, and the security guards turned a blind eye.

"XuNing, when your Inception will be released in the United States, I can't wait." Quentin asked.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I will definitely meet the audience next year." ”

"Hello."

"Wow, Quentin, Han!"

Suddenly, two beautiful voices sounded.

A few people turned their heads to look over,

It was discovered that Sophie Marceau, who has the title of "Kiss of France", and Monica Bellucci, the "flower of the earth" from Italy.

As soon as these two women came over, they immediately became the focus of the audience, but what everyone didn't expect was that Sophie Marceau took the initiative to invite Xu Ning to take pictures.

Fan Bing'er, who was standing on the side, was in a dilemma.

However, she thought about it, Sophie Marceau was 42 years old, and she was only in her twenties, so she was a fart, so she held her head high and fiddled with her style!

This is a real Yanma.

is used to riding domestic horses, Xu Ning also wants to change his taste and see if the big Yanma is stupid.

It's Sophie Marceau who is slightly older.

It would be nice to be twenty years younger.

And next to her, Monica Bellucci, is 45 years old.

However, although these two daughters are in their forties, they are still charming, and their feminine charm has not diminished at all.

Xu Ning was pulled by Sophie Maso for a photo.

became the focus of attention of the audience.

"I never thought that Oriental people would be so handsome! Are you an actor? Sophie Marceau asked as she smiled at the camera.

Xu Ning thought for a moment and said, "I am not only an actor, but also a director, and a screenwriter...... I am almighty. ”

Sophie Marceau: "Haha, I thought you Orientals were very humble, but I didn't expect you to be very good at performing!" ”

Xu Ning: "My strength is more powerful than I said. ”

Sophie Marceau: "Oh? Can you see it? ”

42-year-old Sophie Marceau, who is single, can see more openly, and she doesn't want to let go when she meets a young, handsome and golden man she likes.

Xu Ning: "Anytime." ”

Sophie Marceau: "Well, it's decided. ”

When the two were taking pictures, Ang Lee, Du Qifeng, Cai Mingliang, Shu Qi, Lou Ye and others walked up one by one.

Except for Lou Ye to dodge, the others saw that Xu Ning and Han Sanping all took the initiative to come over to shake hands, especially Shu Qi, who was particularly enthusiastic about Xu Ning.

"Woo, why is Brother Ning like this! It's annoying that there are so many girls around him everywhere he goes. Xiao Fan was so angry that he stomped his feet.

On the red carpet,

Now it's a small gathering place.

The organizers felt that it would not work like this, so they arranged for security guards to come over and invite everyone into the venue.

After exchanging contact information with Sophie Marceau, Xu Ning, Quentin, Ang Lee, To Qifeng, Shu Qi and Lao Han entered the movie palace together.

Opening Ceremony of the 62nd Festival de Cannes.

Coming soon.

Lou Ye, who was full of resentment, didn't know at all at this moment that a bad news had hit him.

Thank you for your support!
