I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 236 Going to Cannes, Meeting a Fairy on the Plane

"Mr. Lu, I can't guarantee it, but getting into the main competition shouldn't be a problem." Cheng Sheng was quite confident in his film.

In the entertainment industry, movies are the best way to promote someone.

An award-winning film or a high-grossing film can directly boost an actor's status and commercial value.

This is why so many actors aspire to walk the red carpet at the three major European film festivals.

With this back and forth, their value changes.

Three days have passed since the screening.

Cheng Sheng finally received some good news.

"Three Kingdoms" has been selected for the main competition at Cannes.

In other words, he has to lead the team to Cannes.

this day.

Cheng Sheng gathered the main creators of the film and then boarded a plane to Cannes, France.

While Cheng Sheng and his group were on the plane, the domestic entertainment industry was in complete uproar.

The news that "The Yellow Turban Rebellion" has been selected for the main competition at Cannes has been reported by the media.

Everyone in the industry has gone crazy.

Cheng Sheng has another historical film nominated for Cannes. Does that mean he'll win an award?

With Venice as an example, it's not impossible for historical films to win awards at Cannes.

Instantly, the entire internet was reporting on this, and celebrities were also discussing it.

On the set of "The Ballad of Yunshui".

Chen Kun and Li Shuangbing, who had just finished filming a scene, sat together reading the newspaper.

"Kun, do you think Cheng Sheng can win the award this time?"

Suddenly, Li Shuangbing put down the newspaper in his hand and asked Chen Kun in a low voice.

Chen Kun was taken aback.

Win an award!

This is really hard to say.

Although Cheng Sheng won Best Film at Venice, Cannes is a different story.

Moreover, this is a historical film.

Cheng Sheng had previously won an award at Venice for a historical film, but historical films are always limited; once you can't win twice.

But he also knew that Cheng Sheng was a director who was good at creating miracles, and his films had a high chance of winning awards.

Moreover, this year's Cannes Film Festival is very beneficial to Chinese-language films.

The chances of winning an award are also the highest.

"I do hope Director Cheng can win the award, so that Chinese-language films can shine all over the world," Chen Kun said with a smile.

"Cheng Sheng's movies are both critically acclaimed and commercially successful. I wonder when I'll be able to collaborate with him," Li Shuangbing said enviously.

“Yes! Actually, I also want to work with Director Cheng, but I haven’t had the opportunity. I heard that Director Cheng’s ‘The Great Tang Dynasty 2’ is already in preparation. I wonder if I will have a chance to be selected this time,” Chen Kun said.

"I'm out of luck with 'The Great Tang Dynasty 2'."

Li Shuangbing's expression darkened.

Since watching "The Great Tang Dynasty 1", she has read about the history of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty was open and inclusive and produced many famous women, women in ancient times faced too many restrictions, and few of them stood out.

During Li Shimin's reign, there were only a limited number of women, such as Empress Zhangsun and Li Lizhi.

As for Empress Zhangsun, there's no need to even think about it; she'll definitely remain Su Chang's.

As for Li Lizhi and the others, they were either too young or didn't quite fit her temperament.

Therefore, this movie was not suitable for her role at all.

If you were to humble yourself and act as a palace maid, you would be 100% guaranteed to be selected.

But it's better not to go at all than to do that.

"I wonder how many awards Director Cheng will win this time."

Seeing that Chen Kun didn't respond, Li Shuangbing changed the subject.

A total of 22 films were nominated for the main competition at Cannes this year.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, apart from Cheng Sheng's film being nominated for the main competition, no other Chinese films were selected.

Fortunately, Cheng Sheng was there to support them; otherwise, Chinese-language films would have been a disgrace this time.

You should know that the president of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival is Wong Kar-wai!

This marks the first time in Cannes Film Festival history that a Chinese person has served as the jury president. If Wong Kar-wai had been there to support him, someone like him might have been selected for the main competition.

With Wong Kar-wai helping him out, he should be able to win a big prize!

As for whether Wong Kar-wai would help people from his own country?

Unless Wong Kar-wai is stupid, why would he help outsiders instead of his own people?

Therefore, after learning that Cheng Sheng's film had been nominated for the main competition, many people believed that Cheng Sheng would be a great success at Cannes.

The matter had already been discussed online for some time.

……

In the first-class cabin of the airplane.

Cheng Sheng unexpectedly encountered two acquaintances.

Liu Tianxian and her mother Liu Xiaoli!

Why are they on the plane? Are they also going to the Cannes Film Festival?

I've never heard of Liu Yifei having a film nominated for the Cannes Film Festival!
Cheng Sheng recalled another memory.

Liu Yifei has acted in many movies, but she has repeatedly failed in the film industry, appearing in mostly bad movies.

It has to be said that Liu Yifei's beauty is simply irresistible.

His features were full of charm and had no aggressiveness whatsoever.

Cute and adorable, yet down-to-earth.

Perhaps because of her good looks, she rarely appears in TV dramas with heavy makeup.

With just a little makeup, her ethereal beauty shines through.

It has to be said that Liu Yifei's looks are very striking, and her resilience is beyond everyone's imagination.

She acted in 16 bad movies in the future, but she was still able to retain the audience. She is also the only female star who said that she is worthless.

Although she often starred in bad movies, her return to television dramas and the drama "Where the Wind Blows" made her a legend after a 16-year hiatus from television.

Many people say that Liu Yifei's acting skills are not good.

However, after returning to television dramas, no one has ever criticized Liu Yifei's acting skills.

To judge whether an actor is good or not, you can look at whether their crying scenes are realistic, whether they can move people, draw them into that emotion, and make them feel heartbroken along with the protagonist.

For example, in the song "Go to Where the Wind Blows," Xu Hongdou cries while eating alone after her best friend dies. She has to eat because the living must continue to live.

But the sadness was genuine; tears streamed down her face as she swallowed the food, a scene so real it was heartbreaking.

It also represents the life of the living.

True suffering comes from the heart.

When no one speaks, there is always silence.

You'll see a variety of crying scenes in this TV series, and she portrays them all naturally and very well.

Cheng Sheng saw Xu Hongdou crying from another memory, and Cheng Sheng also shed tears. This is what it means to be moved by emotions.

When Cheng Sheng saw Liu Tianxian and her daughter on the plane, he did not go up to talk to them.

Although he and Liu Tianxian added each other on QQ because of Su Chang, they rarely chatted.

Cheng Sheng didn't chat with Liu Tianxian, but Liu Tianxian saw Cheng Sheng and his group sitting in the back row.

"Brother Cheng."

Liu Tianxian waved her hand in greeting.

"Qianqian."

Cheng Sheng smiled and called out.

"Liu Tianxian! What's she doing on the plane?"

Da Tiantian, who was sitting next to Cheng Sheng, also saw Liu Tianxian.

"Brother Cheng, what a coincidence! Are you going to the Cannes Film Festival?"

Liu Tianxian unbuckled her seatbelt, ran over, and glanced around at Cheng Sheng and the main creators of "Three Kingdoms".

"Yes! Qianqian, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Chen Daoming, Teacher Bao Guoan, Teacher Hong Yuzhou, and Li Heiniu..."

After Cheng Sheng finished his introduction, Liu Tianxian bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, teachers, my name is Liu Tianxian."

　The clouds are light and the wind is gentle; autumn is in full bloom and people are reunited.

　　A bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating our friendship.

　　May all our readers enjoy great success in their careers, harmonious families, and sweet lives.

　　On this Mid-Autumn Festival, I extend my sincerest wishes to everyone. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
