Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 350 Princess Sissi
In the evening, the two leaders held a large party at the Majestic Hotel, which was attended by almost all Chinese people who came to Cannes.

This time, Liu Qianqian did not wear a Western-style evening gown, but a modified Hanfu.

With her looks and temperament, this kind of clothes is perfect for her. She attracted everyone's attention almost the moment she appeared on the stage.

Chen Linfeng's white suit, which is usually very attractive, lost a lot of its luster at this moment.

Zhao Yanzi looked at Liu Qianqian with an unhappy expression.

This press release, which was not meant to be outshined, was actually outshined.

Zhang Ziyi always thought that she had a good relationship with Liu Qianqian, so she didn't come over this time.

Chen Linfeng teased, "How is it? The effect is obvious, isn't it better than before?"

Liu Qianqian nodded with a stern face.

Control yourself and don't laugh out loud.

By the way, Chen Linfeng persuaded Liu Qianqian to try wearing Hanfu at the opening ceremony of Cannes.

She was a little hesitant at first, so she decided to try it out at a party first.

Now it seems that the effect is indeed good.

As for this Hanfu, it was Liu Qianqian’s own idea to make it.

When she read history books, she often wondered how the beauties in the past dressed, and occasionally asked Chen Linfeng about it.

After all, Xiaofeng knows everything.

But Chen Linfeng was annoyed that she always asked him questions, so he simply said, "Why don't you try making it yourself."

"I can't?"

"You don't have much in your head, but you have a lot of money in your pocket."

So, Chen Linfeng took the opportunity to pull Liu Qianqian together to set up a studio, and also invited fashion design bigwigs in the industry, as well as teachers of related majors, to work together on the design.

With Liu Xixi as a living signboard, there is no way they will suffer losses or starve to death.

Liu Xixi has been busy with this matter for some time.

However, even after the clothes were made, she was hesitant to wear them until Chen Linfeng encouraged her from behind.

In fact, it is a bit early to follow the Hanfu path, as it has not yet become a fashion in China.

But when it comes to trends, someone has to lead the way.

Liu Xixi's current status qualifies her for this. If she can really lead the way to success in advance, she will be praised in the future for her status as a pioneer.

So this is a complementary and mutually beneficial thing.

The most important thing is that in Chen Linfeng's opinion, Liu Qianqian is indeed extremely suitable for Hanfu attire.

Especially when combined with ancient buns and headdresses, it looks ethereal and much better than simply long straight black hair.

Moreover, when she wears Western-style dresses, it often detracts from her appearance.

There are a few good-looking ones, and they themselves resemble the shape of Hanfu skirts.

Zhang Ziyi originally wanted to stay away from Liu Qianqian tonight.

But in the end, she couldn't help it.

"Xixi, you are wearing such a beautiful outfit. At first glance, it looks like a costume, but it's not. Where did you find this outfit?"

It doesn’t look like a foreign brand at first glance, so Zhang Ziyi came to ask.

"This is from a small company I opened called Princess Sissi Studio. I designed and made it myself." Liu Sissi answered proudly.

"Pfft~"

Zhang Ziyi almost couldn't hold it in, "Is this the name you came up with?"

Liu Qianqian was distressed when she talked about this. "Xiaofeng gave it the name. By the time I found out, it was already like this. I couldn't change it."

That's understandable.

Zhang Ziyi praised sincerely, "I didn't know you could start a company, you're amazing."

For most stars in the industry, starting a business is a pure loss.

A typical example is Li Yapeng.

"Actually, it's not that I know how to do it. Xiaofeng helped me find the people. I just acted as a clothes rack and let them try on clothes."

Liu Qianqian took the opportunity to promote her own brand, "After you go back, why don't you try it out when you have time? The company has designed several sets."

Zhang Ziyi was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head, "Forget it, I don't think this is suitable for me."

If it was another company, she could still give it a try, but if it was run by Liu Qianqian, then it would definitely not work.

Judging from herself, she would definitely not leave the best for others.

Of course, Zhang Ziyi was indeed a little worried that she might not be able to achieve this effect.

After all, Liu Qianqian's early famous roles were all beauties in ancient costumes, so she does have an advantage in this regard.

If she were to wear it, the seller's show might turn into a buyer's show.

This is also the reason why she didn't want to go to "Sissi" to try on clothes, for fear that people would know.

What if it looks good on Liu Xixi but not on me? Wouldn't I look like a clown if people knew about it?

Zhang Ziyi took the lead, and then other female stars present couldn't help but come up to inquire about the origin of the clothes.

At the same time, Chen Linfeng was chatting with Shu Qi.

As a judge in the main competition unit, Shu Qi has been approached by more than one director.

She knew that she would be a judge and it just happened to be the opportunity for the other party to participate in the exhibition, and it would probably be the only time.

In theory, this is a good opportunity, but if you take advantage of it at this time, you will probably suffer countless setbacks later.

So she was very careful when answering each director. "Director Chen, I will definitely help my own people as much as possible, but you also know that the judges can't do everything, so..."

"Don't worry, I didn't say you must do this or that. I just hope you won't stand for any particular person or work."

Chen Linfeng waved his hand, signaling the other party not to misunderstand.

"I have also heard about the final film selection voting process. By then, it will be clear which film has more supporters and which has less.

I think you should just support the one that is most likely to win a big award. I believe this shouldn’t be difficult.”

He said this mainly to give a preventive measure to prevent Shu Qi and Li An from getting involved. After all, Shu Qi had very few connections with Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Shu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Director Chen, you don't even need to tell me, I will definitely do the same."

She was really afraid that she would anger Director Chen if she refused his request.

He is so young, and maybe he will continue to make movies for another 30 or 40 years. No one can imagine how far he will develop by then.

The key point is that everyone knows that this person is petty, and she really doesn't dare to offend him easily.

Chen Linfeng never thought that just one sentence could make the other party vote for him.

The fact that Shu Qi has been able to serve as a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival means she is already an accomplished actress of a certain status.

Even when facing a big director, I will not be too humble.

Just like he said, he just wanted Shu Qi to stop being too biased and fulfill her responsibilities when the time comes, and promote any Chinese film she sees that has a chance.

Anyway, it can be seen from the fact that she promoted Lou Ye’s movie in her previous life and won the Best Screenplay Award.

Shu Qi still has her own considerations in this regard.

However, it is precisely from this information in the previous life that we can infer that Shu Qi does not have enough say, at least compared to the other judges.

Alas, the nationality of the judges this year has too much influence.

Chen Linfeng vaguely remembered that the award-winning movies in his previous life were highly correlated with the nationality of the judges.

"The White Ribbon", which won the Palme d'Or, was directed by a German director, who is indebted to the chairman of this year's jury. At the same time, one of the judges on the jury is German.

He is simply the chosen one.

It’s no wonder, since there isn’t a single outstanding film to take the lead this year.

I don’t know if “Sunset” can play this role.

After chatting about serious matters with Shu Qi, Chen Linfeng strolled around casually.

There were a lot of people surrounding Liu Qianqian, and he didn't want to go over and disturb them.

At this time, Han Shanping found him and said, "Xiao Chen, come here. I want to introduce someone to you."

"Who?"

"Come here and you'll find out."

Chen Linfeng followed Han Shanping to a position closer to the front, where a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s was standing, chatting with Zhang Yimou and Li An.

"This is Director Zhao from the film and television department," Han Shanping introduced.

Then he turned around and said, "Director Zhao, this is Director Chen, Chen Linfeng."

Director Zhao laughed humorously and said, "It was you, Xiao Chen, who suppressed his plan and made him unable to stick to his own ideas."

For a moment, Chen Linfeng didn't figure out whether this was a joke or he was really trying to help Zhang Yimou get justice.

He could only reply seriously, "It's all for creation. Everyone persists. It just depends on who persists the longest."

"Well said!" Director Zhao praised, "This is the kind of energy you need to have when doing art."

It seemed that there was no malicious intent, and Chen Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, since Han Shanping has introduced it specifically, there shouldn’t be any mistakes.

He smiled and said, "It's hard to say. I'm still worried. What if there's a problem with what I insist on? I'll be at a loss then."

Zhang Yimou interjected, "Everyone is the same. It's meaningless to say this now. We still have to look at the audience and the judges."

Director Zhao nodded and said, "That's right. Directors all have their own artistic ideas. In the end, it all depends on whether the audience agrees with them."

He unconsciously said a little more, "Speaking of this, I thought of something. Some directors in China now pay too much attention to self-expression and ignore the audience's views."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Chen Linfeng felt that they were implied.

Of course, Chen Linfeng was actually overconfident. He felt that what he filmed (copied) had all stood the test of the audience.

So the matter of being separated from the general audience has nothing to do with me.

It's different for other people.

Li An lowered his brows, wondering if he had done something to displease the higher-ups in the mainland.

Zhang Yimou is also reviewing himself, feeling that there might be some problems with the movie "Three Guns" that is currently in preparation.

He was arguing with Zhang Weiping some time ago and felt that he shouldn't have invited Xiao Shenyang.

It’s not their fault that they think too much, mainly because officials like Director Zhao rarely say meaningless things.

Director Zhao was so smart that he instantly felt that what he said was wrong.

After I came out, I still relaxed.

Director Zhao was reflecting on himself in his heart.

But he couldn't take back his words, so he could only pretend nothing happened, as if he was really criticizing someone.

The following topic will mainly focus on this movie starring Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou.

The two most popular directors in the country currently work together to make a movie.

The news has already spread in China, and many people on the Internet are paying attention to the performance of "Sunset" at the Cannes Film Festival.
