That year Huayu

As the opening ceremony approaches, more and more filmmakers come from all over the world.

The crews of several Chinese-language films that were coming to Cannes to promote and sell copyrights were all here.

When Lin Nan was accompanying Liu Yifei for street photography, she bumped into Li Bingbing and others.

"Director Lin, is Yifei filming a promotional video?"

Li Bingbing noticed Liu Yifei's haute couture dress and handbag at a glance.

"Well. I haven't congratulated you yet. Now you are the producer and producer."

"Director Lin praised me, I just made a small fuss, haha..."

He said so, but the expression on his face was not deceptive, he was very happy.

In this industry, sometimes you have to rely on your fate, and you do need a few true friends.

Just like Li Bingbing, he has a friend like Ren Quan.

Lin Nan heard that the latter had recently left Huayi, had formed a company, and had begun to fully engage in film and television investment and other industries, and that he had brought Li Bingbing with him. It can be said that he was affectionate and righteous!

After a few pleasantries, Li Bingbing took the initiative to leave.

…………

"Is he the director of "The Star"?" Quan Zhixian, who was traveling with him, asked in English.

Li Bingbing nodded.

"Yes, Director Lin is a Golden Lion director and a great director of commercial films. I just don't know if he will win the award this time, or what kind of award he will win."

After two days of busy work, Liu Yifei finally ended these trivial matters.

Yue Jun has received many negotiation intentions from film producers, all of which are based on Lin Nan's previous reputation in Berlin and Venice.

"Tell them to wait until the awards ceremony is over to talk about this. In addition, invite them to watch "The Star" after the opening ceremony."

"Okay, Director Lin."

Lin Nan saw interesting news. Several domestic media caught up with Zhang Ziyi for an interview at the "Favorite" booth.

Or ask her about being asked out of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" by Deng Wendi and replaced by Li Bingbing as the starring role;

Or just ask her what she thinks of Fan Bingbing's "The Day We Landed"...

These people the reporter mentioned are all here at the Cannes Film Festival this time!

Zhang Ziyi had a dark face the whole time, but it was Gu Changwei who saved him.

The promotion of "Martial Arts" did not escape the siege of reporters.

I'm not asking Chen Kexin whether he has the confidence to beat "Painted Skin 2" when the movie is released;

I'm just asking if Donnie Yen's next movie plan will still be a bad movie! The scene was very embarrassing.

The opening ceremony finally came.

"Mom, why don't you come together?"

Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli and asked reluctantly.

"Be good, I'll go with you again for the closing ceremony. This time you two will go alone..."

Liu Xiaoli said dotingly.

She has already thought about it, since her daughter is already so old, she will gradually reduce the frequency of appearing next to her daughter in public places in the future...

Seeing that Liu Xiaoli was really unwilling, Liu Yifei didn't force it.

Early in the morning, the makeup artist began to put makeup on Liu Yifei, and the dress and jewelry ordered by the brand had also been delivered.

Let’s not talk about the red carpets of domestic film festivals, but let’s talk about the three major European film festivals. There are only two kinds of people who can walk on the red carpet.

Either you have a work for the competition, which will definitely be on the red carpet.

Either you are bringing a movie to promote or have a certain degree of influence, and you must have received an invitation letter from the organizing committee.

Except for these two types, anyone who sneaks into the red carpet will be kicked out immediately once discovered.

It seems that all the Chinese films coming this time have received red carpet invitations.

As for whether other "carpet stars" will appear, it is unknown.

A few hours later.

Liu Yifei has long hair shawl, wearing a solid color off-the-shoulder mesh dress and crystal high heels, standing in front of Lin Nan handsomely.

Embroidery, beads, sequins on the long skirt...

The lotus leaf sleeves only reached the elbows, exposing half of her fair arms.

Paired with a diamond necklace around the neck, it looks even more refined!

"Does it look good?"

"Of course, no one can compare to you at this moment."

Lin Nan's words were already spoken before his mind turned.

"Hmph, you're so glib, I'll believe you once."

Liu Yifei tilted her head slightly, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Let's go."

Lin Nan stretched out a hand, and Liu Yifei took it.

…………

This is Lin Nan's first time attending the Cannes Film Festival, and also her first time walking the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the three major film festivals.

When the black car drove slowly and stopped at the designated location, media reporters from all over the world had already pointed their cameras at the car.

The car door opened, and a long leg stepped out. It was Lin Nan!

The domestic media were instantly excited. They confirmed and affirmed that this was Lin Nan's first time walking the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the three major film festivals.

Lin Nan helped Liu Yifei, who was wearing a formal dress, out of the car, and the latter held the former's arm.

At this moment, a man and a woman seemed to be a perfect match!

"Director Lin, Yifei, look here..."

"Liu Yifei, this way!"

"Director Lin..."

…

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were taken to the waiting area, where stars were shining.

As soon as the two of them came in, they saw Zhou Xun waving, and beside them were Chen Kun and Xu Ke.

"Director Lin, Yifei." Chen Kun took the initiative to chat.

Lin Nan nodded and responded.

Miss Liu also responded with a smile.

Although they acted together in "The Golden Family", Liu Yifei really doesn't have any friendship with this person...

"Yifei, you look pretty good here."

Zhou Xun looked at Miss Liu and praised her.

"Oh, it looks good, just don't touch it."

Lin Nan quickly stopped Zhou Xun's behavior, and the guy started to act erroneously again.

Liu Yifei lightly covered her lips and avoided Zhou Xun's hand with a smile.

From time to time, people walked onto the red carpet, and there were shouts and shouts from outside, mostly in English and French.

Gu Changwei led Zhang Ziyi onto the red carpet, but Aaron Kwok did not come.

…

The three women, Deng Wendi, Li Bingbing and Quan Zhixian, held hands and walked out of the waiting area.

Chen Kexin, Donnie Yen, Tang Wei, Hui Yinghong...

…

It wasn't until halfway through the red carpet that a staff member came to remind Lin Nan and Liu Yifei that it was their turn.

"Let's go."

Holding Miss Liu's hand, Lin Nan walked onto the red carpet.

The host has already started introducing.

“Now comes the main competition piece, director Lin Nan and actor Crystal, the creators of The Fault in Our Stars.

The former holds a Golden Lion trophy and two Silver Bear trophies for Best Director, and is extremely famous; the latter is a top international actress who has appeared in "Inception" and starred in "Superbody"..."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other, this host is good!

The media on both sides have been blown away. This couple is really dazzling, and they are still so young!

Unlike the closing ceremony, where the host may ask more questions during the interview, the opening ceremony only asks a few simple questions.

Lin Nan gave up the microphone to Liu Yifei. He didn't need so many shots.

She was speaking English normally, but after the host welcomed the two people in French, Liu Yifei changed the channel.

The host was very surprised by his fluent French.

The shutters in the hands of the surrounding media reporters also clicked faster...

…………

There is a bad thing about the opening ceremony. After the red carpet, it is not an award ceremony, but a boring cocktail party. In China, it is just an artistic performance!

When he woke up the next day, Lin Nan was shocked by the news about the red carpet of yesterday's opening ceremony.

Not to mention him and Liu Yifei, both the local media and the domestic side received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

But others are different.

Yu Dong committed suicide and kissed Yuan Li on the red carpet. Domestic entertainment gossip has already caused a stir.

This is not the most lively one. The most discussed one is Fan Bingbing.

Yesterday, Fan Bingbing walked on the red carpet probably too early, but Lin Nan didn't see it.

I only found out through the news that she wore a bright red strapless crane dress and walked the red carpet of the opening ceremony. She was stunning, but...

Maybe cranes have a good meaning in China, but this is France.

Here, crane has only two meanings: "stupid" and "lascivious"!

Now, not only the local media in Cannes are talking about it, but the domestic public opinion is scolding Fan Bingbing for being stupid and ignorant, and for being embarrassed and dumped abroad, on an international stage like Cannes!

From Lin Nan's point of view, it's hard to say whether others did it intentionally or unintentionally.

Last year it was a dragon robe, this year it's a crane costume. Fan Bingbing firmly held the focus of public opinion in his hands.

In terms of hype and topicality, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are no match for them in a single fight!

…

"Star" begins its Cannes premiere.

Like last time in Venice, "Estique" will only screen five times in Cannes.

Each screening room can seat a hundred people. After five shows, it is enough for all interested film producers to watch "The Star" once.

Lin Nan originally planned to take Liu Yifei to look for some good movies, but things didn't work out.

I have found an endorsement, a high-end luxury product!

Fortunately, when I came to Cannes, in order to connect with the brand, several people from the Hongxingwu team came with me, otherwise I would have been caught off guard.

In this way, Liu Yifei stayed in the hotel with Liu's mother and team to negotiate with the new brand.

Lin Nan went to the China Film Team alone.

To be honest, he didn't know that "Painted Skin 2" could be sold at a good price here.

The story of "Liao Zhai" is more acceptable and preferred by the Chinese cultural circle.

But here, even if you can't sell it at a good price, as long as it can be sold, it will be a net profit!

Han Sanping, Ye Ning, including Xiying and Ningying all know this truth, so they have a good attitude.

"Director Lin."

After Wanda saw Lin Nan alone, she greeted her warmly.

"Is "Painted Skin 2" being screened?"

“Yes, it’s being shown.

It was originally difficult to rent a screening room for non-participating films, but China Film came out and got it done immediately! "

Lin Nan nodded, that's for sure.

China Film Group is a blockbuster producer and holds the monopoly on imported films. Which film festival dares not to give it face?

Wanda’s people came closer and said with a smile:

"I heard that Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" was a bit miserable. Almost no one cared about it, or they didn't pay the price..."

Lin Nan knows that truth, directors are different from directors.

If you want to switch to martial arts films by Zhang Yimou, Li An and others, they will definitely sell for a good price in minutes.

In contrast, Chen Kexin has no appeal at all in the international market!
