That year Huayu

Feng Xiaogang, who always emphasizes that awards are not important, won two awards for Best Film and Most Popular Director among College Students at the College Student Film Festival.

At the award ceremony, Feng Xiaogang was smiling and in high spirits throughout.

And it has been repeatedly emphasized that college students are the most real and non-hypocritical group...

This gesture caused a lot of ridicule and ridicule from netizens.

"If you give me a prize, you are your mother, but if you don't get a prize, you will fire. This is very Feng Xiaogang..."

"Director Feng's hypocritical appearance is still so real!"

"Didn't you say you don't care about winning awards?"

"The awards that Director Feng doesn't care about are probably the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear. Because he has never won them..."

…………

Two cars were parked outside the villa, and several assistants were loading suitcases.

Liu Yifei is wearing a white T-shirt, loose jeans, and white shoes. Her long hair is very eye-catching.

It was time to set off, but Liu Xiaoli still couldn't believe that she would actually participate in the film festival as a supporting actor in a movie!

Liu Yifei held Liu's mother's arm and was whispering something, which occasionally attracted Liu Xiaoli's doting eye rolls.

Not long after, all the things we needed to bring were loaded into the car.

"Sissi, Auntie, we are leaving." Lin Nan reminded.

"Well, let's go..."

Liu Yifei nodded and responded with a cheerful tone.

…

When Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and a group of seven or eight people appeared at the airport, the reporters on guard reacted instantly.

"Director Lin, Yifei, are you going to Cannes?"

Many reporters asked directly, even though they already had the answer in their minds.

"Yes, go ahead."

After hearing the accurate answer, a group of reporters became even more excited.

"I wish Director Lin a smooth success in winning the Palme d'Or this time..."

"And the best actor..."

"Yifei, remember to bring back the Best Actress trophy!"

"Thanks."

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly and said sweetly, tightening Lin Nan's hand.

In less than an hour, news spread that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were leaving for Cannes.

"Director Lin Nan and Liu Yifei set off today for the Cannes International Film Festival with "The Fault in Our Stars"!"

"Liu Yifei is young and beautiful, and lives up to the name of 'fairy sister'!"

“Director Lin and Liu Yifei’s airport couple photo, they match perfectly!”

…

As the news spread, all the filmmakers, actors and production companies in the industry paid attention.

Familiar and unfamiliar people quickly sent their blessings on Weibo.

"I hope Director Lin and Yifei's "The Star" will successfully win the Palme d'Or!"

"There are also best actor and best actress..."

In the eyes of many people in the industry, Lin Nan is the youngest director in China and has rich experience in participating in international film festivals.

Maybe this time, there will really be a different result...

Major directors such as Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke are also paying attention.

They know very well that among the three major film festivals, Cannes is undoubtedly the most difficult to conquer!

Just wait and see what the outcome of Lin Nan's "Star Luck" will be when the time comes.

At least, you have to gain something...

…………

The flight lasted ten hours, excluding the six-hour time difference. When Lin Nan, Liu Yifei and others got off the plane, it happened to be around 12 noon in Cannes time.

Although the Cannes International Film Festival is famous all over the world, Cannes is a very small place, with an area the size of an ordinary small town.

At this time, Cannes has a very large flow of people, either filmmakers from all over the world or tourists.

Yue Jun and his people were waiting outside Nice Airport early.

"Director Lin, Yifei, let's get in the car first. It's still more than an hour away from the town of Cannes."

The group of people got into the car and headed to their destination.

Yue Jun began to talk about the Chinese films and Chinese directors and actors coming to the film festival this time.

"The cast of "Martial Arts" featuring Chen Kexin, Donnie Yen, Tang Wei, Li Xiaoran and others have already started promoting it."

Lin Nan found it funny.

A few days ago, the media was still reporting on Donnie Yen's Weibo, saying that he would concentrate on studying for a while, and now he came to Cannes again? !

Gu Changwei and Zhang Ziyi used "The Favorite" to promote and sell the copyright;

"The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" by Deng Wendi, Li Bingbing and Quan Zhixian;

Fan Bingbing followed the South Korean crew in "The Day We Landed";

Xu Ke, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and others brought "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate";

Yu Dong took Bona and a group of artists...

…

Lin Nan felt a little emotional as he listened to Yue Jun's introductions one by one.

It is indeed the most prestigious Cannes Film Festival!

Although the only film participating in the competition is "The Star", there are so many Chinese films coming to promote and sell copyrights, far more than Berlin and Venice.

"Are these people already here?"

"No, only a small number of people have arrived. Most people will arrive one after another in the next few days."

After hearing this, Lin Nan nodded.

He just said that he had set off several days in advance, so he would arrive later than them?

Liu Yifei looked out through the car window at the seascape, which was all blue.

"During the film festival, shall we go for a walk?"

Lin Nan suggested knowingly that Cannes is a world-famous tourist destination.

"Ah? Okay."

Miss Liu looked back at Lin Nan and agreed with a smile. This was what she was thinking about just now.

…

Soon, everyone arrived at the hotel.

After nearly twelve hours of travel, Liu Xiaoli was a little tired, so Liu Yifei chose to stay in the hotel to accompany her.

Lin Nan and Yue Jun took the people and planned to go to the film trading market.

The booths for "Star Luck" and "Painted Skin 2" are both there.

The film exhibition area can be described as a bustling crowd.

Everywhere you look, you can see people of all races, promotional signboards and movie posters everywhere.

"Take me to "Star Luck" to have a look."

Lin Nan ordered.

As a work in the main competition unit, one can imagine its treatment.

Before even approaching the "Star Luck" booth, Lin Nan saw many people gathered around asking questions.

As if asking for show time.

The employees brought by Yue Jun are explaining that after the opening ceremony, the film will issue movie tickets at the booth.

Lin Nan even saw a familiar face, the European film dealer he had met several times in Berlin and Venice.

We would chat a few words every time, but I had never bought his movie rights. The reason was that I wanted to but the budget didn’t support it.

…………

"I think I saw Director Lin?"

Not far away, Zhou Xun muttered.

"Lin Nan?" Xu Ke asked softly.

"Yes, it's him!"

Zhou Xun's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

Just when Lin Nan was about to turn around and go take a look at "Painted Skin 2", he was startled by the little girl who suddenly flashed in front of him.

"Let me go! Brother Xun, you are going to be beaten like this!" Lin Nan said angrily.

"Haha, did you scare me? Look at you like that."

Zhou Xun said carelessly, this character is also the reason why she can be friends with many people.

Lin Nan was about to speak when he saw Xu Ke and others walking in front.

Lin Nan crossed Zhou Xun and greeted him.

"Shi Pian, Director Xu."

Lin Nan shook hands with Shi Nansheng first, and then Xu Ke.

Because when he was in Berlin, it was Shi Nansheng who awarded him the Silver Bear Award for Best Director for "Buried Alive."

On the contrary, this should be regarded as the first time to say hello to Xu Ke.

In addition, there is another more important thing. Shi Nansheng is one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Last time on the podium, the two just greeted each other politely.

Looking back today, this producer who has great influence in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia has indeed a very strong aura.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I didn't have a chance to chat with you last time."

"By the way, how is the promotion of Director Xu's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" going?"

With Xu Ke's appearance and his internal helper like Shi Nansheng, it was also a hotly debated topic at that time.

"Haha, okay, okay..."

Lin Nan actually doesn't care whether it's true or false, it's just socializing.

…………

According to the regulations of the film festival, after the opening ceremony, Shi Nansheng, one of the judges, is not allowed to have contact with the outside world. These two days are the last free time.

Zhou Xun is very lucky, and Shi Nansheng likes it very much.

Now that we have met, it is inevitable to sit down and chat together and communicate.

In Lin Nan's eyes, Xu Ke's previous films were better because of their unconstrained, bold and imaginative scripts.

But this time when we were talking about movies in person, the other person seemed to be even more obsessed with equipment and 3D, and he kept talking about new technologies!

"I've seen your movie "The Luck of the Star"..."

Suddenly, Shi Nansheng said softly.

This cheered up Lin Nan instantly. Xu Ke and Zhou Xun looked over at the same time.

"It's a very good movie! I don't know how far it will go..."

This sentence is interesting. This is the charm of Chinese.

"A normal heart, a normal heart. I will take Yifei on a trip, haha..."

"Oh? Then I really want to meet that little girl."

Shi Nansheng said with a smile.

"Okay, then I will definitely introduce her to Director Shi and Director Xu later."

Lin Nan expanded her network of contacts today and exchanged contact information with Shi Nansheng and Xu Ke.

Especially Shi Nansheng, she is a frequent guest and judge at many international film festivals.

…………

Domestic media who came to the Cannes Film Festival have already sent back the latest reports.

"Director Lin Nan has arrived at the Cannes Film Festival."

"Director Lin, Director Xu, Producer Shi Nansheng, and Zhou Xun, chatting for a long time in the coffee shop..."

"The film festival is about to open, and the copyright transaction for Chinese-language films has not yet begun..."

…

Return to hotel in the evening.

Liu Yifei had already called for food and was enjoying it.

Other actresses and female celebrities are very careful in this area, but Miss Liu is different. She never hesitates because she always insists on exercising, running, practicing...

Lin Nan was still thinking about what Shi Nansheng said today: "I don't know how far I can go?"

He admitted that the competition in Cannes is fierce, even higher than that of Berlin and Venice, which can be seen from the number of participating films.

But these words made Lin Nan feel as if a cat had scratched her. She felt extremely uncomfortable!

At this time, Liu Yifei suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to do a street shoot with the brand tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

Looking at Liu Yifei's expectant eyes, Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "Then I will watch you from the side?"

"Yeah, okay..."

Miss Liu nodded happily.

"Okay, that's it. Anyway, there are still two days until the opening ceremony."

Next chapter, later.
