my gilded age

Chapter 225: The confusing Cannes, the dark horse actor!

This is the second week of Film Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival. In other words, their comments will play a significant role in the subsequent awards, and this year's various comments are really chaotic.

There are already many famous directors coming with their own masterpieces, which itself has many hot spots, plus some people deliberately add fuel to the flames, which is already great, but there is also a movie "Free Zone", The film sparked protests from many religious figures.

Natalie Portman performed a kissing scene at the Wailing Wall, which earned her a lot of criticism because of religion.

It is really adding chaos to chaos. The film festival is not over yet, but many people have already said that this is probably the most chaotic film festival in the history of Cannes.

In such a chaotic situation, some people are also having their own thoughts.

"I still highly recommend "The Best of Time". It is a very good work, very good..."

"Zhang Zhen has the ability to aspire to be the best actor."

"Shu Qi's performance is also very good. I like her eyes."

Wu Yusen is still praising "The Best of Us", but there is no way, "Seven Swords" has been completely rejected by the jury. This work has no chance at all, while "The Best of Us" can still be Fight.

However, the current situation of the jury is different from that of the outside world. The outside world is praising other films, but the jury is now obsessed with "Green Red". In particular, this film, originally from China, is originally from China in many aspects. It is not well known in the West, but this time there are some simple background introductions on the Internet.

It is very difficult to understand each other, especially because the cultural differences between the East and the West are huge and the writing is different. In the past, for many mainland films or Asian films, the real difficulty was to let the judges understand the meaning.Now, "Blue and Red" seems to have solved this problem.

But how can this movie win an award?
The most important thing is, how can this movie suppress Hong Kong and Taiwan movies?
This is Wu Yusen's inner thought. He is indeed very selfish in this regard. He already has a plan for a blockbuster film. He plans to use top-notch actors from mainland China in this big production, but they will all be supporting actors.

We need to use our people to dominate the mainland market and make money from the mainland.

Therefore, we cannot let mainland actors rise up. If they rise up, how can our Hong Kong and Taiwan stars still make ends meet?
Wu Yusen felt that he had to do something, and he immediately thought of a good way.

……

Zhang Zhiyi came to Cannes as a guest. She is very familiar with this place. This place has made her successful, and now, she will be an award guest, which is indeed enviable.

Coming to Cannes is not a vacation. You have to dress beautifully and pose in front of the camera every day. Every photo will be spread all over the world. It is worth it.

When the grand prize was announced, she did not expect that the famous Chinese director Wu Yusen would invite her to a dinner party.

"Miss Zhang is really beautiful and generous."

"Director Wu, you are too generous."

"Not at all, not at all..."

"Ha ha……"

Both of them came from China to work in Hollywood. During the conversation, they quickly found a lot of common ground and the atmosphere became harmonious immediately.

"Ms. Zhang, I just want to say one thing when I invite you this time. The recent Cannes Film Festival was very chaotic in terms of reviews. Many bad films were praised so much that they made me, the judge, feel very embarrassed. …”

"Oh, really? That's how it is?"

Zhang Zhiyi didn't expect that she would say this, but isn't this bad?

But what is Director Wu going to do now?

Soon, Wu Yusen expressed all his thoughts about "Green Red" and the actors in it.

"I think this movie is very strange. It's very bland. There's no drama at all. But now some judges think she's good. It's really strange. I think it's because someone did some immoral things... ...I hope Ms. Zhang can help and make the judges return to fairness and justice. For example, the actors in it, their acting skills are so bad. How can that Miss Gao compare with you, Ms. Zhang? And that Bai Shiqiu, what on earth is he acting? what……"

"oh oh……"

Zhang Zhiyi understood as she listened. Director Wu probably wanted her to say a few words, but among them, Bai Shiqiu was her junior brother.

Although she didn't really go to school in China Theater for long, and most of her time was outside filming, but Bai Shiqiu, this was taught by her mentor, Teacher Chang, and we are all fellow students, so now she has to say something bad. ,this……

"Ms. Zhang, I am currently planning a new work, which is an unprecedented historical masterpiece. I hope you..."

Wu Yusen threw out a carrot with ease. He hadn't used this method for many years, but he was still very confident in dealing with the mainland girl in front of him.

"Oh..." Sure enough, Zhang Zhiyi's heart changed.

Although she also knew that Wu Yusen was already an old guy, and each of his films in recent years was worse than the last, but after all, he was an international director and one of the top in the country. How could his big productions be any worse?

Moreover, isn’t he just criticizing his own junior brother?

What's wrong with my two criticisms as a senior sister?
Besides, Bai Shiqiu is quite decent. Everyone is in Cannes, and his junior brother doesn't come to pay her respects. It's not polite.

At this time, Zhang Zhiyi had completely forgotten the fact that she and her classmates rarely moved around. Everyone in Class 96 was very busy, and she was the most outstanding, so it was really easy to come up with a bad reason.

But at this moment, someone came.

"Senior Sister Zhang, Director Wu, are eating."

Bai Shiqiu, with a smile on his face, was holding a goblet. The glass in it was not Lafite from 82, let alone Coke from 82, but Latour from 91. This year is actually very good.

"Hey, it's Junior Brother Bai. We haven't seen him before."

"Yes, I went to school and my senior sister just graduated. It's really a regret in my life that I didn't see my senior sister's grace."

"Hmph! Glib tongue."

"This... senior sister is still awesome, you'll know if you're still in the middle class."

"Screw you!"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Zhiyi and Bai Shiqiu don't look like senior sisters and brothers. They are like a coquettish widow meeting a handsome man... Actually, this kind of joke is nothing. After all, this is a foreign country, and others don't understand anything when they speak Chinese. mean.

Moreover, Bai Shiqiu did this on purpose, especially when he ignored Wu Yusen on purpose.

"Aha, Bai Shiqiu, hello." Wu Yusen was a little embarrassed. He is a world-class director, and among all directors in China, he has the highest box office, but now he is being beaten by a kid who just left school. Neglected!

Even though he was angry, he at least had to maintain his grace. After all, he was planning to do something with this kid just now.

"Oh, it's Director Wu, hello, hello." Bai Shiqiu seemed to have just seen him.

After this, the three of them chatted briefly, but Bai Shiqiu still talked a lot with his senior sister.

Yes, after all, this is senior sister.

"How is Teacher Chang?"

"Very healthy."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Well...the teacher always smiles when he sees me. He only gives me a few slaps at most."

"Hahaha……"

There was something to talk about, and Bai Shiqiu was really good at flirting. Of course, he didn't come here to have nothing to do, so he left a last sentence.

"Master Jin told me before when I was filming "Swordsman" that everyone has two faces, even Linghu Chong. However, if the two faces are one yin and one yang, then it is Yue Buqun, if he looks dissolute on the outside and is sincere at heart, then he is Linghu Chong. I played Linghu Chong, and everyone seems to think it is pretty good. As for Yue Buqun..."

Bai Shiqiu looked at Wu Yusen. "You..." Wu Yusen was furious inside, but he couldn't let it out. This was a high-end place, and a single gaffe might make the news.

It was obvious that this was meant for him. Everyone knew clearly what Wu Yusen had said and what he meant. Bai Shiqiu just lifted the lid slightly.

Yue Buqun?
Zhang Zhiyi wanted to laugh because his junior brother didn't use curse words when he cursed people, but you are a little too proud.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiyi wanted to suppress him, and immediately said: "Bai Shiqiu, you should be polite to Director Wu, why do you talk like this?"

Her face changes so quickly, this woman's acting skills are absolutely top-notch in the world.

Bai Shiqiu's goal has been achieved. He really didn't want to seduce the international star Zhang Zhiyi, he just came to hurt the international director Wu Yusen.

"I'm sorry to bother you two. I'm going to say goodbye, haha..."

It’s quite a waste.

"Hmph! Who is this?" Wu Yusen was extremely angry.

However, Zhang Zhiyi said with a smile at this time: "My junior brother is indeed very frivolous. Director Wu, don't be angry. Since he is like this, I, the senior sister, must teach him a lesson!"

"Oh, okay, by the way, I have to wait for a while about the new drama..."

"Don't worry, I'm busy right now. Director Wu can just think of me when the time comes."

Wu Yusen was very happy that this happened, and that's right. That Bai Shiqiu was too crazy. This kid was looking for death!

But Wu Yusen didn't know that Bai Shiqiu was enjoying his wine tasting at this time.

"Sigh~"

There are certain skills in tasting red wine. The mouth and tongue must have certain movements to make the wine move back and forth on the tongue, stimulating the taste buds. It is said that men who can taste red wine are very popular with women. As for the reason, it can be divided into serious and improper reasons. To put it seriously, such a man has taste, knowledge, money and quality.The unorthodox saying is that men like this have good oral skills...

Bai Shiqiu still likes refreshing beef drinks, so this red wine is relatively average for him, but he has many skills and is not overwhelmed by his body. We are a high-quality man.

"Old Bai, what were you doing just now?"

"Oh, Brother Zhen, you are also very free."

"The awards are about to be judged, and you're going to offend the judges?"

"Did I offend him? Oh, well, it's nothing, anyway, people didn't like me anyway, so what does it matter if I offend him or not?"

"You...can't say anything about you."

Zhang Zhen saw Bai Shiqiu being so sloppy, so he couldn't help but come over to make a point, but this guy is so thoughtful.However, there is still something I want to say.

"Lao Bai, what do you think of this time as Best Actor and Best Actress?"

"What do you mean?"

"Some people say I might win the Best Actor Award."

Zhang Zhen blushed when he said this. In fact, some people said that it was Wu Yusen who said that this great leader was leading the trend.

Bai Shiqiu smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance."

"Really?" Zhang Zhen didn't believe it and stared at Bai Shiqiu.

"Really." Bai Shiqiu told the truth, "I have no idea about the best actor, and my role has no chance at all. You have watched "Blue and Red", right?"

Zhang Zhen stopped talking and nodded.Indeed, in that film, the male and female protagonists were relatively vague. Director Wang Xiaoshuai has always had this style.

In this way, the two of them just drank. The night in Cannes was very long.

the next day.

"I think the best actor should go to Zhang Zhen, his performance is very good..." Wu Yusen continued to wave the flag.

Then an interesting news broke out, that is, when Zhang Zhiyi was interviewed by the media, he made some criticisms of his junior brother Bai Shiqiu.

"He is very successful, but he is a little too frivolous. His performance in this drama was not very good, and his grasp of the characters was not very accurate. I think Baek Shi Qiu should restrain himself and study hard."

Zhang Zhiyi's words spread almost instantly, especially in our country, because she is Bai Shiqiu's senior sister and a well-known international actress. Who can not take such comments seriously?
Lao Bai, who was criticized by name, was quite calm and didn't say anything.

On the 22nd, the day when the grand prize was finally announced, all media, celebrities, and people from all walks of life gathered together.

Flashlights, microphones, champagne, and shining jewels. If we talk about the luxury at this time, I'm afraid it can be counted among the best in the world.

"Who can win the best actor and best actress today?"

"Who will win the Palme d'Or?"

"It is said that this time the jury will favor Asian films, and one of the best actor and actress will definitely be an Asian star."

Many media are doing live broadcasts, and here in China, several major portals have all mobilized to conduct online live broadcasts. Now they can't do video, but they can do text.

Whoever wins the award will be known to domestic netizens immediately. Because of many things in the past, netizens are very enthusiastic this time. .

Bai Shiqiu didn't walk the red carpet, he was like Yuanyuan, so he found a passage and entered directly.

"Old Bai, why are you avoiding me?"

"Not really."

"Whether I win or not, thank you."

"Not so polite."

In the end, they still have to sit together, but Bai Shiqiu feels that Yuanyuan feels a little different to him, maybe because they have broken up.

Don't think too much, he really did a lot of things this time, he really wants to give Yuanyuan the best, this time for the best actress, so be it.

However, sometimes, it's up to people to make things happen.

"Best Actress...Hannah! Hanna Laszlo!"

It didn’t work!

This surprised Bai Shiqiu very much, but not long after, something that surprised him even more happened.

"Best Actor... Shiqiu Bai! "Green Red"!"
