In the waiting area in front of the red carpet entrance, Zhang Rangang gave a voucher with French Minister of Culture Aureli Felipeti, and the host came over and pulled him to interview.

The host asked Zhang Ran about his opinion on the Cannes Film Festival and his feelings when he went to Cannes. At this time, he could only praise him. He said concisely: "I believe that most filmmakers have special feelings for Cannes. If they don't take the movie to Cannes in their lifetime, they will regret it. So, I came and I was very happy."

After Zhang Ran said that, the close-up shot turned into a panoramic shot. At this time, the Chinese reporters at the news center saw Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan standing quietly beside Zhang Ran.

At the same time, the red carpet commentator kept talking about Zhang Ran’s achievements. There were many fans of Zhang Ran at the scene, and every time the commentator talked about a movie, it caused a burst of cheers.

After the interview, Zhang Ran and the other three walked towards the red carpet. Because they knew that Zhang Ran and the others were going to walk the red carpet, they cleared the scene to avoid strange things like Zhang Xinyu's attention-catching; the background music was also replaced by the theme song of the movie "The Aviator". However, the English version was played. This song was studied rock cover by Danish band Mike two years ago and was very popular in Europe.

The Chinese reporters at the news center were shocked when they heard the music of "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart" playing on the spot, and they played exclusive music for the crew, which was rare in the history of Cannes. Some reporters couldn't help but say, "This treatment is too high!"

A reporter responded: "He was invited by Cannes several times before he was invited. How could he not be given a high salary!"

After Zhang Ran and the others walked on the red carpet, foreign movie fans watching on both sides of the red carpet suddenly spoke Chinese. Some called Zhang Ran's name in Chinese, some said "I love you" in Chinese, and some even sang "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart" in a strange voice. The reporters were also calling Zhang Ran's name in Chinese, asking him to look at the camera, and at the same time pressing the shutter wildly. The official live broadcast also took special care of them, first giving Zhang Ran a 20-second long shot, and then the camera switched in turn between the three of them.

Zhang Ran and Li Xuejian were not very interested in the red carpet, but they knew that the red carpet was very important to young actresses like Wang Luodan. They did not finish the red carpet in three or two steps, but stopped after two steps and accompanied Wang Luodan so that the reporters could take photos.

Wang Luodan has a bean sprout figure, and her sexy look is naturally not suitable. Today she is wearing an Alice Sabo white long skirt, which looks refreshing and cute. The official live broadcast also takes good care of her and gives her many close-ups. Each close-up has 3 seconds at the shortest, front, side, and back, until she finally enters the Movie Palace.

The Chinese reporters at the news center did not count how many close-ups Zhang Ran had, but were counting Wang Luodan's close-ups. The result made the reporters stunned: "It's so awesome. The official live broadcast actually gave Wang Luodan 12 close-ups. It's really awesome!"

"No Chinese actress has ever received such treatment in Cannes. Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi also have at most three or four close-ups. This time, she gave Wang Luodan so many close-ups, and each close-up lasts very long!"

"The Sun is a big hit in Cannes this time, and the whole world is paying attention to this movie. Wang Luodan is the heroine of the movie, so the close-ups are naturally given more, and there are works that are different!"

"I remember there was no protagonist in the game. The main thing is to play Xian Ye and a dog. Who would Wang Luodan play?"

"I don't know, it should be a newly added character!"

When Zhang Ran and his party entered the movie palace, a beautiful guide came over and took Zhang Ran and the others to their own position. The guide asked Zhang Ran with anticipation, can Mr. Zhang take a photo? Zhang Ran smiled and said, of course. The guide immediately took out his cell phone, took a photo with Zhang Ran, and then left with a happy look on his face.

Sitting next to Zhang Ran and the others was the crew of "Mr. Turner" led by Mike Lee. Mike Lee and Zhang Ran are old acquaintances, and can also be said to be old opponents. When Zhang Ran took "The Aviator" to participate in Venice, his biggest opponent was Mike Lee's "Vera Drake". In the end, Zhang Ran flew over Mike Lee and won the Golden Lion Award.

However, Mike Lee did not feel hostile because he lost to Zhang Ran, the junior. Instead, he admired Zhang Ran very much. Losing to the film "The Aviator" which has gone down in history is not a shame, but a glory. He nodded at Zhang Ran with a smile; and Zhang Ran also nodded in response with a smile.

The big screen on the stage live broadcasting the red carpet grand occasion. The guests on the scene watched the live broadcast quietly. Except for those who went to the bathroom, they rarely saw people running around, and Internet celebrities did not look for celebrities to take photos everywhere.

At this moment, the live broadcast camera switched to the waiting area again, and the host began to interview the judges of the main competition unit of this film festival. The host asked almost the same question, "Does it feel particularly different when you are a judge?"

When the reporter threw this question to Chinese director Jia Zhangke, his answer was very brief: "I think both are very exciting. Being a judge can make it easier to feel the movie, but there are different pleasures and different passions."

When the Chinese reporters from the News Center saw the host interviewing Jia Zhangke, they all applauded at the big screen and whispered: "If I were the host, I would ask Jia Zhangke, what do you think of Zhang Ran's new film?"

"The host will definitely not ask this. This is clearly a embarrassment to Jia Zhangke. What can he say? He can only say that he hasn't watched it yet. In order to avoid suspicion, he will definitely say that he will not meet Zhang Ran during the film festival."

"Yes, Jiang Wen took "The Sun Rises As Always" to Venice. That chairman was Zhang Yimou. Jiang Wen shouted before the opening of the film festival that it was me, and it was a matter of success. It was equivalent to calling Zhang Yimou to give him an award. As a result, Zhang Yimou gave the Golden Lion to Ang Lee, but Jiang Wen didn't have a single award. Some things cannot be clearly identified, and if they are clearly identified, they cannot be done."

"The Sun Rises As Always" is a movie, too much like "The Rain of Heavy Rain", and its level is much worse than "The Rain of Heavy Rain", how could it be awarded? I am optimistic that Zhang Ran won the award this time. The judges this time include not only Jia Zhangke, but also Sofia Coppola. She has always claimed to be a fan of Zhang Ran. South Korea's Jeon Duyeon seems to know Zhang Ran. The director she wants to work with the most is Zhang Ran. With so many acquaintances, Zhang Ran can win the award this time. If the quality of the movie is good enough, it is completely possible for the Palme d'Or."

The Chinese journalists present undoubtedly hoped that Zhang Ran would win the Palme d'Or. After all, the last time China won the Palme d'Or was twenty years ago. However, it was too difficult to say that winning the award at the film festival, and there are many uncertainties.

A reporter said: "That's not good. Quentin has always called himself a fan of Wong Kar-wai. When "2046" came to Cannes to participate in the competition, Quentin was the chairman of the film festival. As a result, there was no award in "2046" and he finally returned empty-handed."

The red carpet of this Cannes opening ceremony ends with the collective debut of the opening film "The Princess of Monaco". Nicole Kidman has long been out of date in Hollywood, but in recent years she has taken on many works by directors of film festivals, so she is still a superstar in Cannes. The official broadcast started from Nicole Kidman in the waiting area, showing her walking through the 60-meter-long red carpet and entering the screening hall from the main entrance, which took 13 minutes to shoot.

After the crew of "The Princess of Monaco" was seated, the opening ceremony officially began.

The entire opening ceremony was as simple as ever, playing the trailer of 19 main competition units movies, and then nine judges were invited to the stage to receive applause from the audience. The whole process was only more than 20 minutes.

After the opening ceremony, the film festival reserved a 15-minute break to facilitate everyone to go to the toilet so that they could devote themselves to the movie. Many carpets began to use this time to leave the show. They came for the red carpet and had no interest in the movie. Of course, some smart carpets also began to use this time to take photos.

Zhang Ran was surrounded by carpet stars from all over the world, hoping that he would take a photo. Although Zhang Ran knew that these photos would appear on social networks in various countries, and even media entertainment versions, with the words "Zhang Ran and xxx intimate conversation". But what's the relationship? Zhang Ran would not suffer any losses. He took a photo with the internet celebrities with a smile.

15 minutes later, the hall lights went out and the opening video "The Princess of Monaco" began to play.

It was very appropriate to use "The Princess of Monaco" as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival. At the Cannes Film Festival in 1955, Grace Kelly, who had just won the Oscar for "The Country Girl", met her later husband, Rainier III of the Principal of Monaco.

Unfortunately, the French director Olivier Daon, who is famous for his good at making biographical movies, failed to continue the success of "Life of Roses", and this time it was completely screwed up.

"The Princess of Monaco" was filmed last year and has always been regarded as a seed player of the Hollywood awards season, but Harvey delayed its release until March this year on the grounds that "the film has not been produced yet." By January this year, the film had cancelled its release plan again.

It is said that because Harvey was dissatisfied with the quality of the film and wanted to modify the film again, so director Olivier Daon made a re-editing, but Weinstein was still dissatisfied and decided to take the initiative himself. Afterwards, both sides accused each other of the editing of the film in public, which was a disaster.

Finally, "The Princess of Monaco" announced that it would be unveiled in Cannes, but Xavi angrily announced that he would never attend the premiere of the film in Cannes.

The guests present knew that the movie should not be very good, otherwise the relationship between Harvey and Nicole Kidman would not have been like this, but no one expected the movie to be so bad.

The whole movie is a soap opera, or even a Mary Sue opera. Such a movie obviously cannot satisfy the audience who are willing to go to the cinema to watch art films, not to mention the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival where art film masters gather. After the movie screening, booing was everywhere, which made the main creators of the movie quite embarrassing.

After leaving the Movie Palace, Zhang Ran has been thinking about why "The Princess of Monaco" failed so much. He thought the first half of the movie was OK, but the second half was fictional, with not only clichéd content, but also particularly false, with a strong Mary Sue flavor. It is naturally not surprising that such a biopic was booed by the audience.

Zhang Ran thought to himself that when filming Zhang Chunru, you must not make such mistakes. The content of the movie must be true. You must prevent Hu from making up the plot for the sake of the movie being good, otherwise you may end up with "The Princess of Monaco"!

At 10:30 pm, Zhang Ran brought the crew members to the Hilton Hotel to attend the opening dinner of the film festival. The seats of all members of this year's jury were in the center, and the unshakable table No. 18; and Zhang Ran and the crew of "Scareful Sun" were sitting at the 19th table next to them. Shortly after Zhang Ran and the others sat down, Jacob and the jury walked in together.

When Jia Zhangke saw Zhang, he smiled and nodded at Zhang Ran. He was a friend of Zhang Ran and a judge of this film festival. At this time, he must avoid suspicion. Sofia Coppola and South Korea's Jeon Do-yeon also nodded at Zhang Ran with a smile, but neither came to say hello, but they were also avoiding suspicion. Zhang Ran was also just smiling, and he also needed to avoid suspicion.
