Chapter 263 Trip to Cannes
At the end of April, new news came that "Peace Hotel" was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" section of the Cannes Film Festival.
Although it hasn't been released yet, under Jiang Wen's operation, it was sent to Cannes for review at the beginning of the year.
After several months, the news finally came back.
It’s not that Cannes’ work efficiency is low, it’s just that there are too many films submitted for review.
This year, the Cannes Film Festival accepted more than 1,600 films for review.
Calculated, even if you watch it non-stop, it would take three months to watch all the movies.
The better thing is that as long as the film is more than 1 hour long, the jury will watch it.
This kind of dedication can sometimes be a drag.
Cheng Shuo can think of the future scene of the jury watching "Dream Showbiz" and slapping their foreheads together in front of the TV.
The "Un Certain Regard" section is for discovering emerging directors, and mainly selects niche and somewhat innovative works.
Although "Peace Hotel" is not defined by a niche, the shooting method is indeed different from other movies.
Zoom lenses and fixed lenses take up the vast majority of the space, so the format does not look dull, and it is in line with the intentions of those with big beards.
Jiang Wen is very confident, after all, he has become one of the judges of the Venice Film Festival this year.
His vision is world-class. Before the results were announced, he had already made a judgment that "Peace Hotel" would definitely achieve something.
The main competition unit may be a little weak, but in the "Un Certain Regard" unit, "Peace Hotel" ranks among the best in terms of both production and camera quality.
Not only him, Cheng Shuo's fans have already borrowed honors and opened champagne at halftime, just waiting for Cheng Shuo to come back with the award.
After all, this is a world-class award. Before this, only a few people in China could win such an honor.
Not to mention winning an award, even being on the red carpet is big news.
Just like Yang Mi last year, after a red carpet visit, the domestic press release was promoted for more than half a month. Until the launch of "Painted Skin 2", the media was still asking questions about the news.
For such a grand event, the actors in the group are naturally very enthusiastic and want to go there and join in the fun.
In addition to Cheng Shuo and Jiang Wen, Chen Kun, Xiao Bingbing, Wan Qian and others also followed suit.
The Cannes Film Festival lasts for 12 days, and a lot of time is devoted to film screenings, allowing participating filmmakers to see the quality of the nominated films.
And our Xiao Bingbing obviously doesn't care about these aspects. What she likes more is the red carpet.
On the day she arrived at Cannes, she couldn't wait to try on the outfits she had prepared for the festival for three months.
At the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, she became an instant hit with her dragon robe look. In 2011, she contributed a "Greek goddess" look, and her 2012 porcelain doll image is also a classic.
But she shows signs of running out of skills this year.
Cheng Shuo doesn't know much about clothing. Looking at her dark pink floor-length dress, it looks a bit like silk.
Xiao Bingbing looked at Cheng Shuo's curious expression, "Do you want to touch it?"
"Change...forget it."
Jiang Wen laughed happily at the side, "Will you be with her when we walk on the red carpet?"
Cheng Shuo pointed at himself: "Me? Isn't there Brother Kun?"
Chen Kun glanced at Xiao Bingbing and seemed a little scared. He quickly took Wan Qian's arm and said, "We are bound."
Jiang Wenze slowly put down his pipe, "Jiang Wu and I are together."
This year has the most faces from the East in history.
In addition to their crew, there are also the crew of "Destined" and the crew of "Blind Detective" led by Andy Lau.
In addition, a large number of domestic carpet stars are also indispensable.
If Xiao Bingbing hadn't appeared in "Peace Hotel", she would have been one of the carpet stars.
Xiao Bingbing's clothes were worth a lot of money. After trying them on once, she hurried to her room and changed them again, for fear that there would be a trace of wrinkles.
Seeing her leaving, Jiang Wen waved to Cheng Shuo, "You've never been to Cannes, have you?"
"No."
Jiang Wen nodded, "Then you don't understand French, right?"
"don't know."
"I'll teach you a few words, so that when someone scolds you, you won't understand."
Cheng Shuo didn't refuse anyone who came: "That's okay."
There are more than 1,500 staff members at the Cannes Film Festival, and there may be some who do not understand Chinese or English. It is not a bad thing to learn a few more words for daily communication.
"First line, Yawcomer."
Cheng Shuo muttered, "What do you mean?"
"It means follow me. The second sentence is to compete with others."
"What does this mean?"
Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing, and explained happily: "This sentence means hurry up."
Listening to Jiang Wen's teaching, several people nearby couldn't help but snicker.
Jiang Wen felt that it was not enough, so he sorted out all the curse words in French for Cheng Shuo one after another.
Cheng Shuo rolled his eyes, "Can't you teach me something serious?"
"I can only teach you what is useful."
"What you said is of no use at all."
...
Jiang Wen still had the foresight, and these few sentences he taught were used.
The guiding staff couldn't stop urging, but Xiao Bingbing, who was patronizing the appearance, remained unmoved. Her calm and composed appearance was in sharp contrast to the staff who met her.
Cheng Shuo was caught in the middle and looked very helpless.
The red carpet in Cannes is different from that in China. It is not rectangular, but square.
There were media surrounding him from all four directions, and the flashes of cameras almost blinded him.
"Sister, let's go quickly."
With a very photogenic smile on her lips, Xiao Bingbing kept her mouth closed and whispered: "I can't understand the French they speak."
"But I speak Chinese."
"Oh, I don't understand Mandarin, please speak Qingdao dialect."
Cheng Shuo's eyes rolled to the sky, wishing he had not learned a few more words from Huang Bo.
Just as he was about to continue urging, an unlucky thing came over again.
He introduced himself in English and handed the camera to Cheng Shuo, asking Cheng Shuo to help him take a photo with Xiao Bingbing.
Reluctantly, he turned into a tool and took several photos before leaving with satisfaction.
At the entrance of the passage, Jiang Wen and his group looked at Cheng Shuo, laughing.
Wan Qian also smiled, but she couldn't help complaining: "You guys are so heartless."
Jiang Wen stopped smiling and said, "Go and save him."
"All right."
Wan Qian walked onto the red carpet and reached out to hold Cheng Shuo's arm.
Cheng Shuo felt like he was being pardoned and immediately followed her to the end of the red carpet.
"You are truly my savior."
Wan Qian's beautiful eyes rolled her eyes at him, "Didn't you see that everyone is avoiding Bing Bing? You are the only one who has been fooled."
"I didn't expect her to be so capable of fighting."
Xiao Bingbing usually has a hard time twisting bottle caps, but now she can stand for half an hour wearing high heels of more than ten centimeters without getting tired. She doesn't know which talent tree her energy bar is on.
Entering the venue, Cheng Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the venue was not as lively as the red carpet, there were many big names coming and going.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, many people came up to chat with him.
"Are you the actor who plays 54?"
"Yes."
"Shrinking?"
"It's Cheng Shuo, not Chan Shing..."
