Superstar Couple

Chapter 131 Cannes, this is just the beginning

Zhang Le quickly gave Wu Xiaoyong the demos of the two songs. As for whether he would get what he wanted with the songs, that was not what Zhang Le wanted to consider.

As for this matter, Zhang Le dared not mention it to Yang Xiner at all. It's just that I wrote two songs for Wu Xiaoyong.

Yang Xiner naturally knew about Wu Xiaoyong, and she also knew that although Zhang Le and him were not as close as Feng Lei and Tang Xiao, they were still one of Zhang Le's few friends.

Wu Xiaoyong's comments are not very good, especially as a girl, she doesn't like his flirtatiousness. However, that person is not without merit. At least, he is still extremely loyal to his friends, and he is not as domineering as the ordinary rich second generation.

"It's a pity that it's a good song." Yang Xiner said with some regret after listening to the demo of Zhang Le's song.

"The song "Itch" is not suitable for you!" Zhang Le said with a smile.

"I'm talking about "White Fox"." Yang Xiner said with a smile.

"Itch" is naturally a good song, and Yang Xiner can hear it too, but she doesn't like this type of song, and she can't sing the taste that the song expresses, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's inappropriate.

"Itch" is a very special word.

In the mundane world, the desire for material things is rampant, and it is more or less inevitable for everyone to "itch" in their hearts, but the line in this song: "Thinking too much, who knows how to appreciate it, just waiting for someone to share it with", is really true. Unravel the mysteries for everyone and scratch the itch.

"Come, be happy, there is a lot of time anyway; come, wander, anyway, there is a lot of direction", what kind of freedom is this, and what kind of loneliness, one person is afraid of loneliness, two people are difficult to get along with, modern people Often because of this "itch".

In the light and smooth melody, Erhu, Xiao, Guzheng, and Pipa are graceful and beautiful, and the rhythm of the music seems to be frozen in the untraceable notes, pure and charming, beautiful and enchanting. They are all as fragrant and moving as the dark night epiphyllum.

This song fully meets Wu Xiaoyong's requirements for the song. As for Wu Xiaoyong himself or Huang Fei himself, it is unknown.

However, it was very appropriate for Huang Fei to sing such a song.

"White Fox" is undoubtedly a touching and exquisite song, but it is not a classic. Still, it fits that movie's theme song better than many classic songs.

""White Fox" is the theme song of a movie." Zhang Le said.

When Yang Xiner heard this, she nodded and said nothing. Zhang Le is very famous in the circle for writing movie theme songs. The theme song written for a movie, naturally there is nothing to say when the song is sung by others. What's more, Yang Xiner is not the kind of person who will be jealous because Zhang Le writes songs for others.

The time has entered May, and the opening of the Cannes International Film Festival is coming soon. Zhang Le and Yang Xiner took the main creator of the film to Cannes in a low-key way, and the premiere of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is coming soon.

If the Oscar is the ultimate goal of the world's commercial films, then the Cannes Film Palme d'Or is the top laurel symbolizing the world's art films.

Yang Xiner is not the first time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, but Zhang Le is. However, the specific operation does not require Zhang Le to do it himself. Although Xinle Film and Television was established not long ago, it has developed rapidly. Moreover, Yang Xiner has dug up a lot of experienced talents from other film and television companies.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts film, at least in the cloak of martial arts. Whether it was Cannes in the previous life or Cannes in this life, no director has ever won this type of award with a martial arts film or kung fu film.

In fact, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" even directly withdrew from the competition because it was afraid that it would not win the award and affect the film's distribution abroad, and it was changed to a participating film.

Before Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he already had a great reputation abroad. What's more, the investors of the film are Hollywood film companies. For those companies, I am afraid that they value the global box office more. I don't necessarily care about the Palme d'Or in Cannes. Withdrawing from the competition unit, Ang Lee may not be able to control it.

But it is an indisputable fact that this film caused a sensation at the film festival.

Zhang Le does not have the pressure from producers and investors like Ang Lee, nor does he have such great international box office ambitions. Not to mention that he is not as famous as him, so there is no pressure to win or not.

When Zhang Le, Yang Xiner and Yang Liu, another leading actor of the film, got off the plane in Paris, the company's staff who had arrived earlier were already waiting outside the airport.

"Brother Jie hasn't come to Cannes yet?"

Came to the apartment rented by the company, Yang Liu asked Zhang Le. Of the entire crew, the internationally famous one is undoubtedly Li Jie. If he comes, he will definitely attract a lot of media attention, and it will definitely be an excellent thing for the promotion of the movie.

"Should be there tomorrow!" Zhang Le said with a smile.

He originally thought that Li Jie would be absent from Cannes just like the protagonist in his previous life. However, what Zhang Le did not expect was that Li Jie seemed quite interested in this film festival.

The fairness of the Cannes Film Festival is extremely high. Unlike the Oscars, it needs to spend money to open joints and create public opinion. After the video is handed in, just wait for the news. Perhaps, this is because there is an essential difference in artistry between him and Oscar.

The next day, when Li Jie arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of countless media, among which the most concerned were naturally the major media in China.

This kung fu superstar, whose acting skills were criticized by countless people, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Of course, Zhang Le didn't know that when he, Yang Xiner and others arrived in Cannes, the domestic media had already made a fuss. For Zhang Le to take "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the Cannes Film Festival, many people were shocked.

Since his debut, Zhang Le has made two films that are more commercial. No one can associate Zhang Le with an artistic film festival like Cannes. Moreover, the leading role is still Li Jie, who has been criticized for his poor acting skills. What makes it even more difficult for them to imagine is that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still a martial arts film.

Bring shame on yourself!

This is the evaluation given by countless media to Zhang Le's participation in the Cannes Film Festival with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

They don't believe that Zhang Le has any accomplishments in art films, they don't believe that the acting skills of leading actors such as Li Jie and Yang Xiner will be favored by Cannes, and they don't believe that a martial arts film will be favored by Cannes.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not for exhibitions, but for competitions. There is a lot of negative voices in the country. Not a single media, not even many people think that Zhang Le's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can enter the competition section of Cannes.

However, there are many different voices on the Internet. Especially when Cannes announced that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" entered the competition section, countless netizens uttered bold words and sat and watched Zhang Le slapped his face.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a martial arts film, did not attract much attention from foreign media at the beginning. Even the appearance of Li Jie on the promotional poster was ridiculed by some media familiar with him.

Li Jie's acting skills have been criticized, not only in China, but also in foreign countries. Many people even know that Li Jie is developing in Hollywood, and acting skills are the biggest obstacle to his further development.

When it entered the competition section, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" really entered the eyes of everyone, but it became popular instantly unexpectedly.
