my gilded age

Chapter 222 Encounter in Nice
The film "Green Red" was scheduled to participate in film festivals abroad from the beginning. Wang Xiaoshuai was ambitious from the beginning.

Wang Xiaoshuai didn't even consider domestic film festivals. You know, the Student Film Festival coincides with the Cannes Film Festival to a certain extent, but it's generally earlier, but Wang Xiaoshuai didn't consider it.

Bai Shiqiu suggested that "Blue Red" should also participate in the College Student Film Festival, and then he can support it here in the capital without delaying anything. The other main creators of the crew should go to France. That is France, international Isn’t it good for you all to show your faces at the film festival?
Wang Xiaoshuai still refused, and he also emphasized that you, Lao Bai, just come to France for the sake of Brother Wang.

Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to go along, and his idea was simple, just to get together with Young Master Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan said, don't say it yet, wait a minute.

Bai Shiqiu really doesn't know when to wait.

However, Wang Xiaoshuai didn't care about the College Student Film Festival, but Bai Shiqiu still cared about it, so "Old Paoer" invested and filmed by Red Star participated in this film festival and gave a showcase.

Whether it wins an award or not is another matter, but it can at least be regarded as a screening.

Originally, Bai Shiqiu wanted to wait for "Old Paoer" to be screened at the College Student Film Festival before going to Cannes, but she didn't want to, but a beautiful woman invited her to travel to the south of France with her.

"Old Bai! How about we go to France earlier?"

"what?"

"What? Not happy? Are you still a bitch?"

"No, absolutely not. Yuanyuan, you have spoken. I have nothing else to say. Let's go!"

It was Yuanyuan. Unlike when she was filming "Green Red" before, she came to Bai Shiqiu very happily this time. Bai Shiqiu naturally couldn't refuse, although their relationship had already reached a dull and struggling state before.

Moreover, Bai Shiqiu also understood very well that he wanted Yuanyuan to be happy and wanted her to be happy.

Cannes, most of us Chinese know this place because of the film festival. In fact, the Cannes Film Festival was originally called the International Film Festival. To put it simply, it did not say that it must be held here in Cannes, but later I felt that it would be held every time anyway. If it's held here, forget it and call it the Cannes Film Festival.

This film festival was originally founded by Lumière, who was the father of film. Therefore, it can be seen that the status of this film has at least a certain sacred flavor.

Now, being limited to Cannes is actually a step backwards, and this place is a very good place. The south of France itself is a tourist destination, and Cannes is on the coast of Nice, which is a resort among resorts.

The scenery here is superb, and the sea water is extremely blue. What many people don’t know is that rich people from all over Europe are gathered here. Oh, and even from all over the world. Many rich Americans also have houses here. Don’t look at it, it’s not amazing. There are high-rise buildings, but the price of any small house is extremely shocking.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Everyone likes good places. In today's society, of course, having more money has an advantage. Moreover, ordinary people have to go to work and cannot live in tourist attractions.

There are many artful, exquisite, and sentimental little restaurants on the streets of Nice, which exude a sense of literature and art that cannot be classified as literature and art. However, next to or behind this literature and art, there are more that look very low-key on the outside. But when I entered the boutique, I couldn't find anything for sale.

It gives people the feeling that literature and art also come with a price, at least you have to have three melons and two dates in your pocket.

"Wow, this is so beautiful..."

"Then buy it."

"Who said you want to buy something? Let's go shopping there..."

"It might be more expensive over there."

"Can't you see it?"

"Okay, okay, your boss, you have the final say."

"Hehehe..."

It was already mid-May, and Yuanyuan was very happy. On this trip to the south of France, she and Lao Bai could say that they had done everything they could. Starting from the French countryside, they tasted red wine and hunted hares. Along the way, They were laughing and joking, feeling very happy. Until now, the film festival was about to start, and the two of them came to Nice Beach again.

Bai Shiqiu also rented a yacht and the two of them went swimming in the blue sea. During this period, Yuanyuan also changed into a bikini and Lao Bai wore a pair of big pants.

It's just that, showing off her figure.

This was the only thing that made Yuanyuan unhappy the most. Sometimes she frowned because of this, but after all, she was still having fun and was not noticed.

Anyone who sees them thinks they are a happy couple.

What Bai Shiqiu thinks about most is the Cannes Film Festival.

"Yuanyuan, actually, you have a good chance this time."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"I didn't expect it before, but looking at some recent news, it seems that there will be a dark horse, and you are very likely."

"Lao Bai, I'm very happy you said that, but I really don't care much about movie queens now, especially since I know that my acting skills are not good enough."

"But at least, your performance in "Blue Red" is very good."

Bai Shiqiu didn't tell lies. He didn't think Yuanyuan might win the Best Actress. Although her performance in Qinghong this time was quite good, this was Cannes after all. But when he came here, even though he had been accompanying Yuanyuan to play , but did not forget to pay attention to the news.

The film festival is a very important industry in Cannes. Many media made a lot of reports and predictions early on, but Bai Shiqiu had an advantage. He thought of a few things.

I don’t remember clearly, but it seems that there have always been dark horses at the Cannes Film Festival in recent years, that is, some films or actors that were not optimistic before, but turned out to be big winners.

The most typical example is Nicole Kidman in "Dogville" the year before last. Her voice was extremely high before the film festival, so much so that it would be a fool for the Cannes Film Festival not to award her the award.

As a result, it was really not awarded to her.

Art is so brutal.

And that year was very special. Among the judges was the famous Chinese actor Jiang Wen. The most interesting thing is that Jiang Wen once said the year before that film critics, when they comment on movies, they are like a bunch of eunuchs watching others do sex. ...So, Cannes invited him to be a judge and asked him to do what he said.

It’s very interesting. This year, Baek Shi Qiu remembers that there were a lot of dark horses, especially the best actresses. He had forgotten who they were. They were really little-known actors.

Bai Shiqiu said in his heart that doing a film festival like this is seeking death.

But now he sees an opportunity. Since the review will have this characteristic, whoever is criticized by the media will die, so why not take advantage of it?

I'll help you blow...

The idea of ​​helping Yuanyuan win a prize was out of control.

"Old Bai, what are you looking at?" "Ah? I, I'm not looking at anything."

Bai Shiqiu was just thinking about something and didn't really see anything, but Yuanyuan got angry.

"Humph! I'm ignoring you."

"This……"

Bai Shiqiu scratched his head, and when he took a real look, he realized that the person who had just passed by was Samar Hayek. This Latina actress was a judge. Her figure...

"Her is too exaggerated, obviously fake, not as natural as Yuanyuan."

"Fuck you!"

The shameless Lao Bai once again made Yuanyuan smile, but such words were really embarrassing. Yuanyuan punched Lao Bai and then ran away, so Lao Bai chased after him.

There is a skill in joking and chasing. Even if you can catch up with someone in three or two steps, don't be so sincere. That's too stupid. You have to let them run away to spice things up. After seeing that it was almost done, we caught the person. We are not catching thieves.

Lao Bai knows this truth very well, so this pace is relatively rough. Wave does not mean fast.

But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

Damn!

I bumped into someone, and they were still taking pictures.

"How……"

"you……"

"Feng Ru? Why are you here?"

The person was bumped into by Yuanyuan, but it was Bai Shiqiu who was most shocked, because that person turned out to be Feng Ru.

……

In a high-end restaurant in Nice, there were three people at a table, two women and one man.

"Where have you been all these years?"

"Old Bai, is your memory declining? I told you."

"what?"

"Hahaha... don't worry about Lao Bai, come and let's talk."

"Yeah, Yuanyuan, you are so beautiful."

"really?"

"Really, how about... being my model?"

"Of course it's fine."

The two women are naturally Feng Ru and Yuanyuan, and the man is naturally Bai Shiqiu, and he is quite embarrassed now.

Unexpectedly, he met Feng Ru here, the woman he fell in love with for the first time, a woman he had not seen for several years.

Things from the past immediately came back to him. This was Lao Bai's shortcoming, his memory was too good.But Feng Ru has changed a lot now. Her face is the same, but her whole temperament is different. She used to be very confident, but now she looks more like a tomboy.

The clothes on her body are very simple, jeans with holes, old sneakers, a simple T-shirt, her hair is simply tied up in a ponytail, and the camera is hanging. She is very neat and energetic, especially the daring look in her eyes. deep impression.

"Model?" Bai Shiqiu wanted to ask about Feng Ru's current situation.

"Oh, I'm a freelance photographer now, you can also call me a down-and-out artist." Feng Ru smiled, obviously she was very free and easy.

"Wait a minute." At this time, Yuanyuan suddenly interjected, "Well, I heard that in the past two years, there was a female photographer named Christine Feng, who is very famous in the United States. Many people say that her work Very spiritual, that..."

"It seems to be me." After Feng Ru finished speaking, she immediately smiled.

"Hahaha..." Yuanyuan also laughed.

The two beauties laughed together very harmoniously. Bai Shiqiu naturally laughed too, but it was still a little bit funny.

By the way, when he heard that Feng Ru was doing quite well, he felt as if a stone had fallen in his heart. He didn't know when the stone had gotten up. He was much better now.

However, after this, while eating and chatting, Bai Shiqiu felt as if she was excluded and couldn't get in no matter how hard she tried.

As a smart man, he knew what to do.

"I'm going to have a cigarette."

"go quickly."

"Uh-huh."

The use of the word 'quick' is really good. My feelings should have gone away long ago.

There were two people left, but they were quiet again.

Bang, Feng Ru lit a cigarette. There was no need to go to the toilet to smoke.

After a long time, she blew out a smoke ring to Yuanyuan.

"Now, wake up."

　Thank you zero, thank you all for your support, thank you!
　　Well, don't worry, let the black car come slowly, thank you very much.
