China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 534: Shu, You Are Awesome
The two arrived at the party and immediately became the focus of the scene.

Wang Shunai is the youngest Oscar-winning director in history. Although he did not participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, as long as he comes here, he is destined to be one of the handsome guys.

Monica held Wang Shu's arm, and seeing that everyone at the party was looking at her and Wang Shu, she felt a little proud in her heart.

Her dance partner is Wang Shu.

If it were any other day, she wouldn't be like this, but today was different.

Sophie Marceau will also be here today, and she will also be accompanied by a dance partner.

In this way, there is a comparison.

That's why Monica invited Wang Shu to be her dance partner.

In her opinion, no matter who Sophie Marceau's dance partner is, as long as her dance partner is Wang Shu, there must be a reason.

As the "Italian national treasure", even if her dance partner is not Wang Shu, she will be the focus whenever she appears.

However, this time, Wang Shu is needed because of Sophie Marceau.

"Shu, I'm glad you came."

Just as Wang Shu and Monica arrived at the ball, "Don't Look Back" producer Conchita Aroldi and director Marina De Van both came over with smiles on their faces.

"Hello." Wang Shu responded politely.

He didn't recognize the two people in front of him until Monica introduced them to him.

Conchita Aroldi is the producer. He cares a lot about Wang Shu and keeps finding topics to talk to Wang Shu, which makes Wang Shu a little annoyed.

He and Marina de Van both knew that Wang Shu had received many invitations since he came to Cannes, but he did not go.

This time, he accepted Monica's invitation and came with her.

Therefore, the two of them couldn't help but look at Monica from time to time.

Previously, I thought that Monica and Wang Shu had only worked together before, and although they had a friendship, it was not a deep one.

Now it seems that through their collaboration on "The Tuner", the two have obviously become good friends.

The two chatted with Wang Shu for a while, and left one after another because they had other social engagements.

Monica looked at Conchita Aroldi's departing back, turned back to look at Wang Shu, and said with a smile: "Shu, Conchita should want to cooperate with you."

Wang Shu shrugged and said, "There are so many producers who want to work with me."

Hollywood producers are profit-driven.

Although Wang Shu has not directed many films in Hollywood, his box office results are obvious to all.

Directors who can achieve box office results are the most sought-after in Hollywood.

"Haha." Monica also knew this and praised sincerely, "Shu, you are amazing."

Then he asked, "Is Life of Pi also expected to win an Oscar this time?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Whether you can win the award depends on whether the people in the academy give you the opportunity."

"But I personally have confidence."

If it were China, faced with these questions, Wang Shu would only give smooth answers and would never give clear information at all.

Different from Europe and the United States, the sleek style is not good, and the confident style is the answer.

For example, Anne Hathaway specially composed a rap song on a TV show to scold the haters who had scolded her before. Not only did she feel good, but she also received praise.

If it happens in China, any artist who dares to do this will definitely get into trouble, and in serious cases he may even be done for.

The cultures on both sides are different, so Wang Shu changes his style every time he goes abroad.

Monica's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Shu say that he was confident of winning the award.

The two were chatting, and soon Sophie Marceau arrived at the scene.

She wore a gray and white dress, also with a deep V style.

But under the deep V, it's just ordinary.

There was also a man with her, whom Wang Shu didn't know.

Monica guessed that Wang Shu probably didn't know him, so she whispered in his ear, "The man next to Sophie is a famous French producer."

"A famous French producer?" Wang Shu asked softly.

"Yeah." Monica responded.

"Are you also a Hollywood producer?" Wang Shu asked.

"No," Monica said.

After hearing this, Wang Shu understood.

This person is probably quite famous in France and Europe, but he is not yet strong enough to make it in Hollywood.

so.
Wang Shu's eyes fell on Monica's face. Seeing the faint smile on her face, he was more certain of her inner thoughts.

If the opponent had a big hand, Monica would most likely not speak so softly.

Obviously, although the other party has a strong presence in France, it is not worth mentioning in Hollywood.

At this moment, Sophie Marceau also noticed Monica and Wang Shu.

I was really surprised to see Wang Shu coming here.

She had never expected that Wang Shu would come to the dance as Monica's dance partner.

Although she had met Monica and Wang Shu in the restaurant last night, this dance party was hosted by the crew of "Don't Look Back".

Under normal circumstances, Wang Shu would never agree to come.

Unless Monica has a very close relationship with Wang Shu, she can be invited.

Now it seems that Monica and Wang Shu do have a very close friendship.

This discovery made Sophie Marceau feel a sense of crisis.

In Europe, she has long been compared to Monica Bellucci.

Previously, Monica starred in "The Tuner", which not only became a big hit but also won many awards.

In the Hollywood version of "The Piano Tuner", Wang Shu was neither the producer nor the investor.

Although this movie did not win any Oscars, the producers registered for other film awards and won many honors.

In the future, if Monica continues to work with Wang Shu, it is not impossible for her to win more prestigious awards, even an Oscar.

As long as Monica has solid film honors, she can be compared.

Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau felt very unhappy.

It was just that in the current situation, she controlled her facial expression and didn't show it.

As the party progressed, many people at the scene strolled and danced.

Monica went to the bathroom and Wang Shu sat alone waiting.

Sophie Marceau noticed this, walked up to him, and invited him with a smile: "Shu, can you dance with me?"

Wang Shu saw that Sophie Marceau's dance partner was not around, and she took the initiative to invite him, so he smiled and said, "Of course."

When Sophie Marceau heard Wang Shu's agreement, a bright smile appeared on her face.

The two came to the dance floor, Wang Shu put his arm around Sophie Marceau's waist, and danced leisurely like everyone else.

"Shu, nice to meet you." Sophie Marceau said with a smile while dancing leisurely. "I'm glad too." Wang Shu replied with a smile.

"Are you coming to Cannes to promote your movie this time?" Sophie Marceau asked with a smile.

This is nonsense. Everyone knows that Wang Shu came to Cannes to promote "Life of Pi", but the two of them are not familiar with each other, so Sophie Marceau asked these well-known nonsense.

"Yes, the organizer invited me several times, so I came." Wang Shu said with a smile.

With these words as the beginning, the two began to chat.

After a while, Monica came back from the bathroom. She didn't see Wang Shu from a distance, so she walked over quickly and took a look around. She saw Wang Shu dancing with Sophie Marceau on the dance floor. Her mood suddenly became bad.

Wang Shu was the dance partner she invited.

Sophie Marceau, what does this mean?
Steal her dance partner right in front of her?
At this time, a dance ended, Wang Shu saw Monica coming back, and then said to Sophie Marceau: "Let's meet again if there is a chance."

Sophie Marceau also saw Monica and nodded with a smile.

Wang Shu returned to Monica, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Shu, why are you dancing with Sophie?"

Wang Shu smiled and explained, "Just now when you went to the bathroom, she came over to invite me, and then we danced together."

Monica complained bitterly in her heart after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, she just went to the bathroom and Sophie Marceau took the opportunity to get in touch with her.

She is also a veteran actress, so even if she feels uncomfortable, she won’t show it, and then she extends her hand and asks with a smile, “We?”

Wang Shu said nothing, took Monica's hand and walked towards the dance floor, then put his arm around Monica's waist and danced leisurely.

Having just danced with Sophie Marceau, Wang Shu could clearly tell the difference between the two.

Sophie Marceau has a slim figure with obvious skinny features.

Monica is plumper and softer.

On the other hand, someone invited Sophie Marceau to dance, but she declined.

This scene happened to be seen by many people, and they couldn't help but glance sideways at Wang Shu who was dancing on the dance floor.

Sophie Marceau is the "Rose of France" and Monica Bellucci is the "National Treasure of Italy". They are indeed the most watched women at this ball.

Many people wanted to dance with him, but were rejected.

On the other hand, Wang Shu, who had nothing to do with the party, danced with Sophie Marceau and then walked onto the dance floor with Monica Bellucci.
This kind of difference makes people jealous and unhappy.

"After all, he is the youngest Oscar-winning director in history."

Although it's unpleasant, there's nothing I can do about it.

Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci are both actors, and Wang Shunai is the youngest Oscar-winning director in history.

It's normal that actresses prefer such big directors.

If I have to blame someone, I can only blame myself for not being that awesome.

Wang Shu did not stay long at the dance and left early.

Since Monica was one of the leading actresses in the crew, she couldn't leave early and continued to stay at the party.

After leaving the dance, Wang Shu did not continue to hang around outside. He returned to the hotel, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

The next day, after ending the trip to Cannes, I returned to China to continue filming "Life of Pi".

Just as he returned to China, Zhang Ziyi came to Cannes.

Zhang Ziyi heard that Wang Shu was in Cannes and wanted to talk to Wang Shu in person about co-production, but she missed him unexpectedly and felt a little disappointed.

On May 5, the Cannes International Film Festival held an awards ceremony.

"The White Ribbon" directed by Austrian director Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or, and Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won the Best Actor Award for "Inglourious Basterds".

Among them, Li An, Johnnie To, Tsai Mingliang, and Lou Ye, only "Spring Fever" directed by Lou Ye won the Best Screenplay Award.

Other than that, nothing was gained.

This year's Cannes International Film Festival was another year in which no Chinese-language films won any awards.

Of course, "Taking Woodstock" directed by Li An is a Hollywood film, and it is also a same-sex film.

Perhaps because of the success of "Brokeback Mountain", a gay film that won an Oscar, this guy is making this type of film again.

But this time, I didn't win the award.

As for Lou Ye's "A Night of Intoxication with Spring Breeze", it is starred by Chen Sicheng and Qin Hao.

Director Chen Sicheng will be the ex-husband of the big boss’ cousin in the future.

In this movie, in addition to Chen Sicheng and Qin Hao, Zhang Songwen also plays a supporting role.

Zhang Songwen left the Beijing Film Academy last year and established the Zhang Songwen International Acting Studio, starting his acting career.

Although he is an acting teacher at the Film Academy, the acting at the Film Academy is not on the same level as that at the Drama Academy, and his acting skills are just so-so at this stage.

If it comes to professional acting skills and methods, such as Yang Mi's crying when she is sad and laughing when she is happy, as well as various theoretical knowledge, he is quite clear about them.

For example, Huang Lei is also a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy. He can talk about theoretical knowledge and professional performances at will, but if you say that his acting skills are superb, that's nonsense.

Zhang Songwen's acting skills at the moment are actually very average, otherwise he wouldn't have debuted for many years and acted in many works without much improvement until the drama "Kuang Bao" became a big hit.

And "Rampage" is a TV series, not a movie.

No matter how good an actor's acting skills are in a TV series, they may not be able to act well in a movie.

Again, due to the length of the movie, the actors' emotional changes and rhythm of performance are completely different from those in a TV series.

It is difficult for TV actors to transform into film actors because the acting style of TV actors is usually not suitable for movies.

In the entire entertainment industry, too many TV actors have failed in their transformation, many of which are due to their poor performance in movies.

Among them, there are many talented actors who have won major awards in the field of TV dramas, but still cannot act well in movies.

It is even said that it is because actors who have won awards in the field of television dramas find it difficult to act well in movies.

Because these actors have usually already integrated the performance style of TV dramas into their body language, so acting in TV dramas is not only easy for them, but they can also win awards.

However, the performance style of TV dramas is deeply rooted in the body, which means it is difficult to change this performance style.

If you can't change this way of acting, you won't be able to act well in movies.

In the entertainment industry, many talented TV actors are like this.

Therefore, the fact that Zhang Songwen’s acting skills in the drama “Kuang Da” were praised does not mean that he can act well in movies.

Not to mention, he is nothing now.

After returning to China, Wang Shu immediately got into work mode.

"Life of Pi" is a 3D movie, and most of the filming was done with green screen.

In this era, there are relatively few films shot with green screens in China, and many directors don’t often use green screens to shoot movies.

But for Wang Shu, it was a piece of cake.

Because green screen shooting has been everywhere in the past.

In order to save money, many crews use this method to shoot film and television works.

Wang Shu was very familiar with this.
