Chapter 107 Cannes
  Wang Shu and Zhang Yimou met for the first time, and they were not familiar with each other.

Therefore, Wang Shu only stayed on the set of "The Golden Armor" for a while, said some polite words to Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and others, and left here.

Zhang Weiping came back from outside at this time and saw the fruit on the table, so he took it and ate it.

After eating, he asked doubtfully: "Who bought this fruit? It tastes pretty good."

Gong Li glanced at Zhang Weiping and said with a smile: "Wang Shu brought it. He came here just now."

"Wang Shu?" Zhang Weiping was stunned when he heard the words. There was a fruit knife on the seat. He picked up an apple and started peeling it with the fruit knife. He took a bite and found that it was still very moist. He was eating happily. He said hoarsely: "Wang Shu is quite good at being a human being, isn't he? Do you know how to buy some fruits and come over for a visit?"

After finishing speaking, he said leisurely, "It's not like what I heard."

"What did you hear?" Gong Li saw that Zhang Weiping had opinions about Wang Shu and asked curiously.

"What else could it be?" Zhang Weiping continued to say leisurely, "Everyone has known about him and Chen Kaige for a long time."

"No matter what, as a junior in the industry, he cannot step on Chen Kaige in front of an interview."

"This kid dares to step on Chen Kaige now, and he will dare to step on Yimou in the future."

Gong Li recalled Wang Shu's attitude when he came to the set just now, and said with a little doubt: "I just talked to him, he was quite polite, how can he be as outrageous as you said?"

"Haha." Zhang Weiping smiled and said, "Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, what if he is just pretending?"

Gong Li rolled her eyes when she heard this and couldn't help complaining: "You, you ate the fruit brought by others and still say bad things about them here. I really don't know what to say about you."

"Ha." Zhang Weiping chuckled after hearing this. He did not answer Gong Li's words, but just ate the fruit on his own.

Zhang Yimou happened to come over and saw Zhang Weiping eating the fruit brought by Wang Shu. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't this fruit good?"

He just ate an apple, which tasted pretty good. It seemed that Wang Shu was interested.

I must have carefully selected some apples before bringing them over.

"It's okay." Zhang Weiping reluctantly responded.

Zhang Yimou didn't care, he said with a smile: "What Wang Shu brought when he came here just now, they should be high-quality fruits that he picked up at the fruit shop."

When Zhang Weiping heard Zhang Yimou praising Wang Shu, he couldn't help but replied with a rather disdainful look: "Didn't you just buy some fruit? How much did it cost?"

Seeing Zhang Weiping say this, Zhang Yimou shook his head helplessly and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the topic and talked about other things.

In a blink of an eye, March 3th arrived.

Liu Yifei's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" premiered on Shandong Qilu TV Station.

On March 3, it landed on the Shancheng TV Film and Video Channel.

On March 3, it was broadcast on Zhejiang J Education Technology Channel.

It will be broadcast on Beijing Channel 3 on March 22.

Obviously, when a TV station produces it, the first broadcast platform is basically local stations in various places.

After the TV series has received clear feedback on the ratings on local stations, it will then be sought to be broadcast on satellite TV stations.

This is the case with Liu Yifei's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It was first broadcast on some local stations and then became a star.

The filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is in full swing, and it's May again in the blink of an eye.

5 month 14 day.

The actors from the main creative team of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" had a dinner together. Wang Shu took a sip of sour plum soup and said in a timely manner: "I will go abroad tomorrow. In the next few days, the crew will be mainly responsible for shooting as an assistant director."

"Cannes?" Zhou Xun and others understood, and couldn't help but pause while eating hot pot, then looked at Wang Shu and asked.

"Yes, I will go to Cannes with the crew of "The Tuner"." Wang Shu nodded and answered the question nonchalantly.

"I knew Director Wang would go to Cannes, that's really cool." Ning Jing said with a smile. After speaking, she raised her glass and said, "There's nothing else to say, so I wish Director Wang a successful start and a grand prize."

"I wish Director Wang a great victory and a great prize." Yang Ruoxi and others raised their glasses together and spoke with envy on their faces.

On May 5, Wang Shu returned to the capital, and then boarded a plane to Cannes with Jiang Wenli, Fu Dalong, and Qin Hailu.

Qin Hailu is a supporting actor. Even if "The Tuner" is selected for the main competition, she will not get the grand prize.

This time I went to Cannes with Wang Shu and others mainly to walk on the red carpet.

"Director Wang, are you confident about this trip to Cannes?" Qin Hailu couldn't help but ask while sitting on the plane.

"Change the question. This question is difficult to answer." Wang Shu rolled his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Qin Hailu asked in confusion.

Wang Shu said angrily: "It's too pretentious to say I have no confidence, and too arrogant to say I have confidence. How should I answer?"

"Uh." When Qin Hailu heard this, he glared at Wang Shu and snorted, "Can't you just say something neutral?"

"If you look at it in the drama, it's not too fake." Wang Shu continued to roll his eyes at Qin Hailu.

Qin Hailu rolled his eyes and then asked: "Tell me, are you confident of winning an award at Cannes this time?"

"Isn't this the same question as before?" Wang Shu asked speechlessly.

"Hey, tell me." Qin Hailu acted coquettishly.

"Yes, okay?" Wang Shu said speechlessly.

"Then which award are you most confident about winning?" Qin Hailu asked curiously.

Wang Shu: "."

After about ten hours of long-distance flight, Wang Shu and others finally arrived in Cannes.

Wang Shu and others rested for the night first, and then waited at the hotel to attend tonight's Cannes red carpet.

The opening ceremony arrives.

Wang Shu walked on the red carpet together with Jiang Wenli, Fu Dalong and Qin Hailu. In addition to the crew of "The Tuner", there were also film crews from other countries who were invited to walk on the red carpet.

The last time he walked through Berlin, Wang Shu gained some experience and no longer had any stage fright.

Relatively speaking, Fu Dalong was very excited.

It was his first time to participate in an international film festival and his first time walking on the red carpet in Cannes. He felt a little uncomfortable facing the media from all over the world who were taking photos.

At the same time, walking on the red carpet, I suddenly felt like a world superstar.

On the surface, he was calm and composed. He kept a straight face and did not say a word. He was tense and worried about embarrassing himself on the international stage.

When they finished walking on the red carpet, Zhang Ziyi, wearing a long red dress, walked onto the red carpet.

This eye-catching outfit immediately caused a commotion, with countless cameras snapping at her.

27-year-old Zhang Ziyi had a smile on her face. From the moment she appeared, a large number of cameras were focused on her.

Logically speaking, red evening wear is usually taboo on the red carpet, as people are easily concealed in the color red, but Zhang Ziyi did not follow the rules this time and instead became the center of attention.

This time Zhang Ziyi came to Cannes not to bring a film to compete for awards, but to serve as a judge for the main competition unit.

In addition to her, the jury members include Wang Jiawei, Samuel L. Jackson, Monica Bellucci, Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Roth, Ilya Suleiman, Pat Reese LeConte, Lucrezia Martel and others. The opening ceremony is over, and then comes the day for the jury to review the film.
  Among them, the chairman of the jury is Wang Jiawei.

Therefore, it was both lucky and unfortunate for Wang Shu to come to Cannes this time.

Fortunately, the jury members include Wang Jiawei, the chairman of the jury, and two of them are Chinese, who may be able to take care of him.

Unfortunately, the same two jury members.

Because Wang Jiawei and Zhang Ziyi may be more strict with Wang Shen's "The Tuner" in order to be more fair.

There is good and there is bad side.

The Cannes International Film Festival focuses on the combination of commercial films and art films.

The more gimmicky the film, the more popular it will be at film festivals.

Wang Shu's "The Tuner" is a combination of art film and commercial film, and it is in line with the elements of the film festival.

He felt that whether he could win the award or not still depended on the Wang family position and Zhang Ziyi.

The weight of a jury chairman and a jury member is still very important.

Compared with the other two major European film festivals, the Cannes Film Festival has the most international influence and the greatest competition.

Wang Shu was also very nervous and was not completely sure that "The Tuner" would win the award here.

After all, "The Wind Blowing the Wheat Waves" was so powerful that Wang Shu felt that he had no chance of competing with it for the Palme d'Or.

The movie "Wind in the Wheat Waves" tells the story of the deepening conflicts between Britain and Ireland in the 20s, which eventually broke out in the Irish War of Independence.

Damian, a medical college student who originally had a bright future, learned of the outbreak of war and decided to join the army.

He returned to his hometown and joined the IRA with his brother Teddy and good friend Dan.

Then, with their passion and excellent tactics, this group of young people defeated the "Black and Brown" militia forces employed by the British government again and again.

Their resistance forced the British to agree to a treaty.

However, this also became a fork in the road where former comrades parted ways...

The awesome thing about this movie is that, on the one hand, it profoundly touches on the "meta-issues" that all revolutions will face: class and differentiation in the revolution, the second day of the revolution, or continuing the revolution- Life, wait.

On the other hand, in doing so, it successfully reproduced a group of flesh-and-blood revolutionary subjects.

In this movie, the rebels initially thought they were inherently right.

Then, he kills like the other person, thinks he is right like the other person does, shows no mercy, and almost lives his life as someone he hates.

Among them, radical nationalism and eclectic conservatism all have their own reasons to defend the ideals in their hearts.

In the end, I was confused. What was it I was holding on to? What is torn? What was sacrificed?
  The entire movie is indeed a masterpiece of master-level skills, concise, steady, smooth and calm.

Obviously, this is a very political movie.

Not only is it politically relevant for film festival selection, it's also an extremely exciting film.

It is basically impossible for Wang Shu's "The Tuner" to compete with "The Wind Blowing the Wheat Waves".

The day after the opening ceremony, Wang Shu, Fu Dalong and Qin Hailu walked around the Cannes Film Festival venue.

Jiang Wenli did not act with Wang Shu and others because of "something", but went out alone.

"Director Wang, where is our "Tuner" exhibition hall?" Qin Hailu asked excitedly.

"Over there." Wang Shu pointed to the location, and then headed to the exhibition hall with Fu Dalong and Qin Hailu.

After a while, Wang Shu and the others arrived at the exhibition hall of "The Tuner" and saw that there were many people in the exhibition hall, and they all smiled.

"There are quite a lot of people watching our movie." Qin Hailu said happily. Although she only played a supporting role and came to accompany him this time, it did not stop her from being happy.

What's more, the more powerful the "Tuner" is, the more honor she will have.

Fu Dalong nodded and answered with a smile: "This shows that our "Tuner" is very popular."

Wang Shu didn't know whether he was popular or not. He only knew that there were indeed a lot of tourists when he saw them.

The three of them looked at each other, then walked to the stage and began to promote the premiere of "The Tuner" at the Cannes Film Festival.

After finishing the job, the three of them were walking back to the hotel. Qin Hailu suddenly pointed not far away and said in surprise: "Isn't that Zhang Ziyi?"

Wang Shu and Fu Dalong looked for where Qin Hailu was pointing and saw Zhang Ziyi walking with some foreigners.

Today, Zhang Ziyi is wearing a python-patterned suspender skirt, which is particularly eye-catching when walking on the road. She basically looks back three times with every step.

Zhang Ziyi is 27 years old this year. She has a round, tall figure and fair skin, and there is no trace of medical beauty.

Just this python pattern suspender skirt.
  After Wang Shu saw it, he said without hesitation, "This guy really dares to wear it!"

"Is the pattern on the suspender skirt a snake?" Since they were still a little far away, Qin Hailu looked at Wang Shu and Fu Dalong with doubtful eyes.

"It should be a python, right?" Fu Dalong looked at it carefully for a few times and then said.

"What kind of python or snake?" Wang Shu said speechlessly, and then added, "That's a dragon."

"Ah?" Qin Hailu was shocked. He stared at it for a while and then responded, "It seems to be a real dragon..."

She paused and then explained: "To be clear in advance, I didn't see clearly what the pattern on her chest was. I just made a guess based on what I know about her."

"I don't think it's possible for her to wear a suspender dress with a python tattooed on the chest, and a dragon tattooed on the chest."

Fu Dalong didn't answer. Qin Hailu knew Zhang Ziyi, so he didn't understand her, so he didn't speak randomly.

"Based on your understanding of her, I can tell you now for sure that she is a dragon, not something else." Wang Shu said with his eyes retracted from Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi's dress... is very abstract, a nice white suspender skirt, but she has an oriental dragon tattooed on her chest.

The purpose of doing this is to promote Chinese culture...

He didn't know that Hong didn't promote Chinese culture. He only knew that this suspender skirt was really not good-looking.

When Qin Hailu heard what Wang Shu said, he first looked at Wang Shu in surprise, then thought of the analysis just now, nodded and said, "That should be the dragon."

When Fu Dalong saw what Wang Shu and Qin Hailu said, he agreed and said, "It's a dragon."

It's a dragon, not a snake. Even if I say it wrong, it's okay.

Fu Dalong had this idea in mind before he spoke.

　I have two yangs, my whole body aches, the highest fever is 39°, and my brain is a mess.
