Chapter 384 Premiere

However, the name pronounced by foreign reporters seems to be different from the name pronounced by domestic reporters.

Li Mu and others were stunned.

"What did they call her?"

Liu Dehua vaguely heard that foreign reporters seemed to have been shouting "Bingbing. Bingbing!"

But the person in front of me is clearly Zhang Yuqi.

"Foreigners may be a little face-blind."

Li Mu's words made everyone in the crew snicker secretly.

Zhang Yuqi seemed to particularly like the concave shape. She stayed on the red carpet for a full four minutes and refused to leave until the security personnel came forward to ask for permission.

However, when it comes to walking on the red carpet, Gong Li has the strongest aura. When she appears alone, her aura immediately overwhelms the others, which is comparable to that of Hollywood actresses.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet more casually. Although many media wanted them to stay for a while, Li Mu only slowed down his pace and passed by.

Host Audrey Tautou felt that Li Mu and Liu Yifei had just finished reading their entrance words, and the two had finished walking the red carpet.

The main reason was that Li Mu saw Spielberg and others and wanted to go over and have a chat, so he didn't think about any styling.

The gathering of Li Mu, Li Yin, and Spielberg makes people think of this year's Oscar ceremony.

It feels like a different place.

However, the three of them just chatted briefly and did not talk for a long time. After all, they had to avoid suspicion.

Not far away, Leonardo waved early, maintaining his usual style, and greeted Li Mu and Liu Yifei with a smile. .

"Lee, Crystal!"

As the opening film, he naturally walked the red carpet with director Baz Luhrmann and the crew early and was waiting.

Li Mu glanced at his suit, unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, and asked, "Are your buttons broken?"

"I have to put on my tie later. Let's get some air first. It's so suffocating on this rainy day."

Leonardo complained.

"Congratulations, your movie seems to be doing well at the box office in North America."

Li Mu also often looks at North American box office information. "The Great Gatsby" is currently the runner-up in the North American box office week. After all, it met "Iron Man 3", which is understandable.

But Leonardo felt dissatisfied.

"By the way, how have you been doing in terms of environmental protection recently?"

Li Mu joked in passing. After all, this guy claimed to take a break and contribute to the world's environmental protection. It seemed that Li Mu hadn't seen Leonardo's environmental news for a while.

"Ahem." Leonardo coughed quickly to hide his embarrassment, "I have already invested money."

Li Mu and Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh when they saw this. Their relationship was just about investing money and not working.

The opening film, "The Great Gatsby" adapted from the American literary masterpiece of the same name, attracted many audiences.

After all, the book has been read by many people around the world.

Although it rained in Cannes, moviegoers still lined up in a long line next to the Palais des Cinemas. Many media reporters arrived early and waited in the rain.

However, it happens that Li Mu has never read this book, or even watched the movie.

When asked by Liu Yifei, she was really confused.

"Haven't you seen it?"

Liu Yifei asked doubtfully. After all, in his impression, Li Mu had read almost many works.

"It's true that this one doesn't exist. Why have you read it?" Li Mulian was a little embarrassed and asked.

"Me neither." Liu Yifei said embarrassedly.

"Come on, it's only half a pound." Li Mu said with a smile.

"I haven't seen enough, that's just right."

Liu Yifei held Li Mu's arm and said happily, just like watching a movie in a cinema.

The film "The Great Gatsby" tells the story of the mysterious billionaire Gatsby's unremitting pursuit of life and love through the perspective of the unknown writer Nick Carraway, but in the end it ends tragically, expressing the disillusionment of the "American Dream". theme.

"so so."

Li Mu frowned after looking at it.

There is no way to judge whether Li Mu respects the original work, but this film uses too many exaggerated techniques and abuses 3D.

Especially in the first half of the movie, instead of providing people with a sense of reality, it actually makes people feel vain.

The movie did not use the jazz music of the time, but used today's popular Techno music, which is also strange.

However, the story itself and the popularity of Leonardo DiCaprio should have good box office potential, but in Li Mu's opinion, it is not a high-quality movie.

If you have anything to do after the opening ceremony in Cannes, there are so many events that could keep you occupied all day.

Film press conferences, press conferences, interviews with major media, film screenings of various units, etc.

Li Mu and the crew simply conducted an exclusive interview with Sina.

"Director Li, "Blind Detective" has an event today, I'll go there first."

Early in the morning, Andy Lau came to ask for leave. Fortunately, the two movies were not scheduled to be released at the same time, otherwise Andy Lau would really be unable to escape.

This time, a total of 22 films entered the main competition. There are only three to four films in the main competition in one day. "The Tuner" was released on the fourth day.

Li Mu nodded, this was not a big deal, but Liu Dehua was obviously afraid that Li Mu would think too much.

"Let's just take a walk around."

Li Mu turned around and said to Liu Yifei.

But as luck would have it, the two of them bumped into Li Jian and his wife while strolling around.

Unfortunately, Li Yin is now a judge and it is not convenient for them to communicate more. The two can only exchange a few simple greetings.

On the first day, Li Mu and Liu Yifei did not watch the movie, mainly because they didn't like it.

Throughout Cannes, except for the officially designated films, the films shown every day are almost too dizzying for you to watch. Gong Li went to various film festivals and met some old friends along the way.

The next day, early in the morning.

Gong Li saw Li Mu and Liu Yifei dressed casually again, obviously going to play again.

"It's good to be young."

Gong Li sighed with emotion. She was not in such a state of mind now, and she didn't have such a person to accompany her.

Before "The Tuner" premiered in Cannes, Li Mu and Liu Yifei only went to see one movie, Soderbergh's new film "Behind the Candelabra."

It’s not that the movie is that good, it’s mainly that Matt Damon kindly invited him, and he is one of the leading actors in the movie.

He also told him very proudly that he must come and see it, and he would never be disappointed.

Leonardo is also here. As a friend, I still have to support him.

After watching the movie, Li Mu realized that it was a movie focusing on homosexuality.

In the movie, there are not only scenes of Matt Damon showing his buttocks, but also a bold sex scene with Douglas.

"You're just going to show me this?"

After watching the movie, Li Mu was speechless.

"I thought you would like it. Don't all directors like art films?"

Matt Damon laughed.

"You'd better make it clear, what do I like? There's nothing wrong with my sexual orientation."

After saying that, she hugged Liu Yifei, causing Liu Yifei to cover her mouth and snicker.

"Li, I have no doubt about your orientation."

Matt Damon tried his best to explain.

"The problem is that I doubt you now."

Li Mu even backed away and said suspiciously, "Your performance in the movie was too good."

"Matt, you're still sexy in the movie."

Leonardo also burst into hearty laughter.

It’s finally the turn of “The Tuner” to be screened in Cannes.

The screening of the main competition unit is the highlight of Cannes every day. After all, the final Palme d'Or was born from these films.

The jury was also very considerate, led by Spielberg, and everyone came to watch the movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and others also came to support the red carpet of "The Tuner".

"Li Mu's reputation is so great. I guess this scene won't be surpassed by other films in Cannes this time."

Domestic reporters chatted while shouldering their long guns and short guns.

"Nonsense, except for Spielberg, the total box office of everyone else here may be about the same as that of Li Mu, which may not be enough."

"Hurry up and take pictures. Hey, why is Zhang Yuqi here again? Why is she everywhere? Is she the next Fan Binbin?"

I saw Yu Qishen wearing a white dress and showing off her deep V, which made many reporters look at her and feast their eyes on her.

It's a pity that the foreign reporters almost didn't use their cameras except to watch. Only the domestic reporters pressed the shutter one after another.

"Director Du, Director Zhang"

Several domestic crew members also came to show their respect, so Li Mu naturally had to say hello to them.

"Hua Zai said that the blind people who played "Blind Detective" and the blind people who played "The Tuner" have completely different feelings. Today is a rare opportunity and it is fate, so I came to see it."

Du Qifeng smiled.

"We are competitors, and I have to come and see the strength of our opponent."

Jia Zhangke joked.

"Okay, let's have a drink at China Night in a few days."

"The Tuner" attracts not only people in the industry, but also audiences. Li Mu's name is there, which is better than any publicity.

Johnnie To nodded from time to time when he saw Andy Lau's performance in "The Tuner". No wonder he said it was different. Pretending to be blind and actually acting as a blind person are indeed two different things.

"Li, this suspense film was shot very well." Spielberg and Li Xian discussed in a low voice.

"Director Li is already very good at suspense films, and this film has shadows of his previous style."

Li Bian is more familiar with Li Mu's movies.

Spielberg nodded and continued to watch the film that kept reversing.

On the other side, Du Qifeng and Jia Zhangke also discussed.

But the topic the two discussed was box office.

"Director Du, do you think Director Li's suspense film will do well at the box office if it is released?"

Although Jia Zhangke always says he doesn't care about the box office, he still has some desire in his heart.

He has enough fame and awards, but the box office of each movie is not much, and netizens have been teasing him about this.

"Never exceed 100 million, Section Chief"

This means that Jia Zhangke’s movies will never break the 100 million yuan mark.

He was helpless at this point, but his movies have never caused investors to lose money, which is why he can always smile while filming movies.

"This movie is no worse than Director Li's previous suspense films. In terms of plot, it's more likeable. It's probably about the same."

Johnnie To said indifferently, this commercial element is also there, and it is used so well. As long as the publicity is good, the film will make money back in minutes.
