Chapter 1020 Actors and Blanket Stars
Ryan Coogler is Zhang Ran's fan. When he heard his idol say this, he was like a little red flower in kindergarten kids who received the teacher's reward. Not to mention that he was so happy. But while he was happy, he said modestly: "If you study with you for a few months, if you don't have your advice, I wouldn't have been able to shoot this level." He looked at Zhang Ran's sincere invitation and said, "Mr. Zhang, I especially hope you can attend the premiere of the movie."
Zhang Ran has always been very supportive of his acquaintance movies: "Of course, you can give me an invitation at that time!"
When Ryan Coogler saw Zhang Ran agreeing to attend the premiere, he smiled and said with a smile: "I will send it to you tonight!"
Zhang Ran looked around and saw that there were many people on the street, not a place to chat, so he said, "I'm going to have a meal. Why don't we go with me and we'll have a chat while eating?"
Ryan Coogler naturally wanted it and immediately said, "Okay, I really want to talk to you!"
This is not the first time Zhang Ran has come to Cannes. He knows where the restaurant is better, so he took Ryan Coogler to the Palme de Martinez Hotel, which is also the only two-star Michelin restaurant in Cannes.
After the waiter brought the menu over, Zhang Ran found that several dishes on the menu were the names of the movies, including his own "Aviator" and "One Man's Lights and Decoration", so he asked the waiter what was going on.
The waiter told Zhang Ran that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival would come here to have dinner at the opening of the film festival to contact each other. In 200, the chef knew that Tim Burton would attend the jury dinner as the chairman of the jury, and suddenly had an idea to design a dish called Alice in Wonderland for the dinner. This dish was not only well received by the judges, but also sought after by ordinary diners. From then on, the restaurant would launch several dishes related to the movie every year during the Cannes Film Festival. This year, Zhang Ran would come to Cannes to participate, and the chef created two dishes named after Zhang Ran’s movie.
Zhang Ran and Ryan Coogler were very curious about these two dishes and ordered them both.
After the dishes were served, Zhang Ran discovered that the pilot carved a plane with white radish and contained shrimps in the airport; while a man was decorated with lights and a piece of grilled steak, with many carved flowers placed around him.
Ryan Coogler shook his head, believing that these two dishes did not show the meaning of the movie at all.
The two of them were having a chat while eating. Ryan Coogler talked endlessly about his experience over the past year, how to participate in the competition, his experience and experience, and also talked about the documentary about Zhang Ran "Son of the Movie".
Zhang Ran asked: "When will "Son of Movie" be released?"
Ryan Coogler was surprised when he heard Zhang Ran’s question: “Don’t you know this year’s Lin’an Fantasy Film Festival?”
Zhang Ran was stunned and then laughed: "I did not participate in the film festival this year, and no one told me that I probably wanted to have a surprise with me!"
Ryan Kugler slapped his forehead: "I wouldn't tell you if I had known it, I'd like to give you a surprise!" At this point, he suddenly remembered something: "I met a Ukrainian director this morning, and his name is too long to remember. He made a movie about crime in the school of deaf and mute people. This movie was inspired by "One Man's Lighting Decoration". In "One Man's Lighting Decoration", the smaller part is completely silent, and communication is completed entirely by gestures. The Ukrainian director was inspired after watching it, so he made this movie, with no dialogue, no sound, no subtitles, and only telling stories through body and sign language. Therefore, he especially wanted to invite you to attend the premiere of the movie and want to hear your opinion."
Zhang Ran was surprised to hear that the whole movie was silent, and he showed it completely through sign language. Only part of "One Man's Lights and Decoration" was silent, which many viewers couldn't stand it. The whole movie was silent, which was undoubtedly a greater test for the audience. The director was very brave! He couldn't help but say, "It sounds very interesting. If I have time, I will definitely go and watch it. What is the name of the movie?"
Ryan Coogler thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called "The Deaf and Mute Tribe."
Zhang Ran nodded and said, "I understand. If I have time, I will go."
After dinner, Zhang Ran waved goodbye to Ryan Coogler and continued to stroll on the streets of Cannes. At night, Cannes was very quiet, with hazy and warm lights sprinkled on his body, which was very comfortable; the evening breeze blew, making people intoxicated. Zhang Ran suddenly remembered the situation when he was strolling outside with Zhang Jingchu at the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival. Unfortunately, Zhang Jingchu was going to take care of her children this time, but she couldn't come with him.
When he returned to the hotel, Zhang Ran found that the hotel's phone number was almost crowded with messages, and it was basically called by acquaintances.
Zhang Ziyi invited him to have dinner; Fan Binbin and Li Binbin invited him to have lunch respectively; Zhang Ran's students asked him to treat him, and even said he would follow him to eat and drink; the person in charge of the China Night of the Movie Channel hoped that he would attend the China Night party in the evening; in addition, some friends in the film industry expressed their desire to get together with Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran knew that cocktail parties like China Night were not exposed in front of international media and needed to find someone to support the venue. Zhang Ran had a very good relationship with the movie channel and was willing to help. He called the person in charge of the movie channel and told the other party that he would attend the director's biweekly opening ceremony in the evening and accepted the Golden Horse Carriage Award, so he could only try his best to come over.
At 6 p.m. the next afternoon, the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival officially opened. Both sides of the red carpet were blocked by five photographers from 08 countries and thousands of eagerly anticipated movie fans.
This year, the Chinese Legion is particularly large, and the Chinese journalist Legion is surprisingly large, with hundreds of people. However, since the red carpet only allows photographic and video reporters to enter, most Chinese journalists can only wait in front of the TV in the Media Center of the Film Palace to watch the live broadcast.
It is often said that one Chinese is a dragon and three Chinese are insects. But in Cannes, this sentence is definitely fart. Chinese journalists united as one, fully utilized their number advantages, and strongly occupied the entire area with broadcasting and television as the center, with the farthest distance in the house as the diameter, and took out their mobile phones to capture Chinese faces that appeared from time to time on the screen. Some journalists even took out their stopwatches to see which Chinese actress has been walking the red carpet for the longest time.
The official live broadcast of the Cannes red carpet has a feature. Only the stars invited by the official will have close-up shots. If it were not for the official invitation, they would not be given a close-up shot. Zhang Ziyi was invited by the official in the past, and the official live broadcast would give her a close-up shot. But this year she was promoted with the crew of "Taiping Wheel" and was not invited by the film festival. After she walked on the red carpet, the official live broadcast did not give her a close-up shot.
However, Chinese journalists were so familiar with Zhang Ziyi. Although the camera gave her a large panoramic view, they still recognized her. Zhang Ziyi walked very quickly, and she was a little unscrupulous. The reporter who pinched the stopwatch told everyone that Zhang Ziyi left for 35 seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Gong Li came. She was an actor, not a carriage star, so she walked over quickly, and there was no close-up shot.
For Chinese journalists and movie fans, the most anticipated thing on the red carpet this year is Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi’s queen battle between the two generations of “Mou Girls” and the debut of the crew of the movie “Scarlet Sun”. As a result, the two generations of “Mou Girls” passed so dullly, without a single feature, which was really disappointing.
Afterwards, Chinese stars such as Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Huang Shengyi and other Chinese stars made a series of appearances. Some people walked quickly, some were so slow that they could kill a group of ants, and they were even invited by the security guards several times that they were unwilling to leave.
According to the reporter's statistics, the top three people on the red carpet are Huang Shengyi, Li Binbin and Fan Binbin. Huang Shengyi walked on the red carpet for 2 minutes and 47 seconds; Li Binbin walked on the red carpet for 3 minutes and 5 seconds, and was invited twice by the security guard; Fan Binbin was invited three times by the security guard and walked for 3 minutes and 38 seconds!
The Chinese reporters present sighed that although Fan Ye did not outspoke all the beauty this year, he was so quick to kill everyone on the red carpet!
At this moment, there was a commotion on the red carpet, and the photographers at the scene made oh-so-exclamations, as if something extraordinary had happened. Chinese reporters thought that a superstar had appeared, and they all stared at who it was. Then they saw a shocking scene, and saw a woman walking onto the red carpet with a gift similar to a long embroidered carpet in the northeast.
No one knew this woman, and the host did not introduce who she was, but the photographers all silently pointed the camera at her. Even the other guests passing by stopped, smiled in their mouths, took out their phones to take pictures secretly. Even the official live broadcast screen noticed her and gave her a big close-up.
Chinese journalists at the news center finally recognized who this woman was, Li Chen's ex-girlfriend Zhang Xinyu.
The pictures on the scene were sent back to China, and the entire Weibo instantly exploded: "What are you wearing? Isn't this my aunt's quilt!"
"Dear, are you dismantling the old quilt from your home and tangling with it?"
"It's shocking, I'm so embarrassed to go abroad!!"
"This dress is so shocking. The sky is rolling, the thunder is so burning and the inside is tender. I can't bear this aesthetic. What is this? I'm so fed up!"
However, Zhang Xinyu was very satisfied. When she walked on the red carpet, she clearly saw that there were not many foreign actresses in front of her, but now all photographers have pointed their cameras at her. The flash was enough to blind people's eyes. This was simply the treatment of a superstar. Zhang Xinyu felt extremely enjoyable and felt that it was worth buying a red carpet invitation letter for 200,000 yuan! She kept her pace slowly, just like a parade float for the Lantern Festival, slowly moving towards the front of the red carpet.
Zhang Xinyu walked too slowly, which naturally attracted the attention of the security guard on the scene, so she came over to ask her to walk faster, but Zhang Xinyu ignored him, turned her face to the other side, and continued her snail step. The security guard came over to "invited" Zhang Xinyu four times before she slowly walked through the red carpet
The moment Zhang Xinyu walked through the red carpet, everyone asked the reporter who was placing a watch: "How long has Zhang Xinyu been gone?"
The reporter who was holding the watch whispered: "4 minutes and 48 seconds!"
The Chinese reporters at the scene were stunned: "It's so amazing, one more minute away than Fan Binbin!"
"Zhang Xinyu is amazing. Fan Binbin snatched her Li Chen, and she snatched Fan Binbin's red carpet!"
"Fan Binbin, who is beautifully pressed against the red carpet, was pressed by Zhang Xinyu with a big cotton jacket this time! I really want to see Fan Binbin's expression!"
The reporters at the news center all felt that Zhang Xinyu might have the best time to stay on the red carpet this year, but they soon found that they were too naive. Jin Qiaoqiao, who followed her husband Bona Films' boss Yu Dong to Cannes, walked on the red carpet for 5 minutes and 2 seconds.
According to the reporter's observation, Jin Qiaoqiao took advantage of the fact that there were too many people on the red carpet, and not only could she be forced to make a move for half a minute with one in place. After several rounds of styling, she, who had already reached the end of the red carpet, even pulled Yu Dong back to the center of the red carpet and walked again.
The Chinese journalists were so scared that they were worthy of being the woman who conquered Yu Dong. Their level of being able to beat Bing and Mouyu!
At this moment, the TV flashed and the camera switched to the waiting area on the red carpet. The first thing that caught your eye was Zhang Ran, who was giving a voucher to a woman in her forties. A female reporter shouted: "Who is this old woman? Eat my Ranran tofu!"
Chapter completed!
