Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 37: Meeting an old acquaintance in Cannes (seeking monthly ticket to follow)
After more than ten hours of flight and transfer, Tian Xiaole and his group landed at Nice Coast Airport.

When we got off the plane, it was 12 noon.

China Film arranged a car, and it still took another hour to reach the town of Cannes.

Flags and slogans can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and the atmosphere of the film festival is very strong.

Since it was their first time here, they all seemed quite curious and were looking out the car windows.

The sea view outside is blue and there are many tourists.

Many couples walked hand in hand on the soft beach.

Although Cannes is world-famous, it is a small place.

It happened to be the film festival period, and filmmakers and tourists from all over the world gathered together, making it even more crowded.

"Brother Tian, ​​let's go out together during the film festival."

Tang Yan smiled sweetly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Sure, Cannes isn't just famous for its film festival, it's also a great place to visit."

Tian Xiaole responded with a smile, saying that with Mei around, life would surely not be so boring.

"We came together, so we go together."

Yan Ni, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said.

"Then let's go together."

Tian Xiaole nodded in agreement, not noticing Tang Yan, whose lips were almost pouting.

Soon, the group arrived at the hotel where they were staying.

As a crew shortlisted for the main competition unit, the hotel arranged by the authorities is quite high-end.

The group flew for more than ten hours and were tired and exhausted.

I ate something to fill my stomach and then rested to adjust to the jet lag.

Soon, the restless Yan Ni knocked on the door, but Tian Xiaole didn't lock the door at all.

It can be seen that she has been holding it in for a long time.

Along the way, his eyes were almost murderous, like a hungry wolf.

A woman in her thirties can not only be satisfied physically and mentally, but also have a bright future in the entertainment industry.

Such a good thing must be seized.

As a professional director, Tian Xiaole uses many traditional techniques when filming, and he is very proficient in drumming.

The high-pitched singing and the beating of drums make the live performance even more amazing.

As a mature actor, Yan Ni has rich acting experience and masters various techniques.

Many times, there are horse riding scenes.

As your running speed increases, you must maintain your posture and don't let yourself fall off the horse.

"..."

···
The next day, the film exhibition area.

Filmmakers from all over the world rent booths here to sell their films.

Whether you are shortlisted or not.

Looking around, you can see people of all skin colors, as well as signboards and movie posters everywhere.

Tian Xiaole brought the listless Tang Yan, and it seemed that they had not adjusted to the jet lag yet.

Yan Ni, who was following behind him, had a rosy face.

Her skin is white and rosy, as if she just came out of a beauty salon.

"Brother Tian, ​​that's our movie."

Seeing the [Heart Maze] exhibition area, Tang Yan suddenly became excited.

As a film shortlisted for the main competition unit, both the booth and the poster are much larger than those of other films.

On the huge promotional poster, there are Jiang Wu, Tian Xiaole, Tang Yan, and a black coffin.

The overall tone is grayish, presenting a horn-like posture.

It gives people a depressing feeling.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

As I approached the [Heart Maze] booth, I heard the teacher from the school who had come early chatting with a group of people.

Because it was spoken in French, Tian Xiaole didn't understand.

Someone behind him spoke English and he finally understood.

It turned out to be asking about the showtime.

This talented director from the East, whose first art film was shortlisted for the main competition unit, naturally attracted considerable attention.

The title of "genius director" is also a marketing in Cannes. 23 years old, a senior student majoring in directing.

This made local film critics, film lovers, and jury members curious about the film.

Tian Xiaole didn't go forward to disturb them because [Heart Maze] would not be screened until after the opening ceremony.

Not far away is the exhibition area of ​​the movie [2046].

"I saw my brother. I went over to say hello."

Gong Li was very happy. After saying something to Wang Jiawei and others, he walked towards the little brat.

Tian Xiaole planned to take the two girls for a walk on the beach, thinking of hugging them left and right.

"Hey~~"

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder. Tian Xiaole turned around and saw who it was. Who else could it be but Gong Li?

"Oh, Sister Li, you scared me so much."

She wore a white deep V long skirt with a high slit design, which showed off her figure very well.

She wore silver-white diamond jewelry on her neck and wrists and had a cool makeup on, which made people feel distant.

When she was in love with Lao Mouzi, their two families lived not far from each other and often visited each other.

"When did you become so timid?"

Gong Li looked at the naughty little kid back then and never expected that in the blink of an eye, he had become a mature director, and the movie he directed was even nominated for Cannes.

When I first heard the news, I was a little bit unbelievable and thought it was just a name.

"Hello, senior sister."

"Teacher Gong Li."

Tang Yan and Yan Ni called for help one after another.

"With the security situation abroad, aren't you afraid?"

Tian Xiaole said unhappily.

France has a lot of famous films, especially in a place like the film festival where good and bad people mix together.

"That's true."

Gong Li nodded in agreement, nodded to the two girls, and then teased Tian Xiaole:
"Big Director, I'm relying on you for support from now on."

"You're an international star, can I afford you?"

Tian Xiaole was not to be outdone and joked back.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time since Gong Li went to Hong Kong to develop his career.

Just as they were about to reminisce about the past, Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng came over.

"Is this our talented director? It's true that young people are the best."

"Producer Shi, Director Xu."

Tian Xiaole still knew Shi Nansheng's name.

As the woman behind Xu Ke, she is a producer with considerable influence throughout Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Without her support, Xu Ke’s achievements today would not be so high.

"It's hard to imagine that 'The Heart Labyrinth' was made by a director in his twenties. It gave us, the jury, quite a surprise."

Xu Ke’s words made Tian Xiaole feel up and down.

Sometimes being too young is also a limitation.

Giving you a big prize will inevitably lead to doubts and speculations from the outside world, making the old director jealous.

It’s normal not to give it to you. You are still young anyway, you can come back later.

This is when the importance of public relations comes into play.

It is to prevent such things from happening.

"Director Xu, you're too kind. My family has a strong artistic bent, so I got into movies early on."

Tian Xiaole gave a far-fetched but flawless reason.

Three generations have been engaged in literary and artistic work. Tell me whether they have been influenced by him or not.

“Looking forward to the film screening.”

Shi Nansheng said this and left with Xu Ke.

"Sister Li, would you like to go shopping together?"

Tian Xiaole extended an invitation to Gong Li, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Wait until next time, I won't bother you anymore."

Gong Li glanced at Tang Yan and Yan Ni, with a look of relief in his eyes, as if a little kid had grown up.
