On May 18th, the weather was sunny.

Because there was an in-depth discussion last night on how to stop the fierce fighting between men and women, and it took until late at night to reach a consensus with Eva Green.

So, in the morning, Lyman had to stay in bed for a while.

His eyes were slightly open and he was still a little confused.

Looking at Eva Green on the side, she had already combed her hair as if nothing happened, and she couldn't help but sigh that the female snail did have some truth in the differences in body structure between men and women.

Perhaps she was too excited. After combing her hair, she quickly urged Lyman to get up.

Is today the premiere day of the movie "Bad Guys"? He hasn't forgotten it.

It only started in the afternoon, so there's nothing to be anxious about.

He slowly climbed out of bed and put on a rather formal black suit.

After washing his face and patting it with slightly cool tap water, the stimulating Lyman felt a little energetic.

After brushing his teeth carefully, when he walked out of the bathroom, Eva Green took another light blue tie and tied it for him.

"How do I dress today?"

"no problem."

After the two reached an agreement on their attire for the premiere, they went out.

Eva Green was really excited. Walking on the road, you could feel the joy in her heart.

This is her first time attending the Cannes red carpet. As a French actress, there is nothing more joyful than this.

We walked along and soon we arrived at the Cannes Film Palace.

When we arrived at the main venue, there were many promotional posters for the movie posted inside, all of which were exhibited works from the official competition section.

By the way, there are a total of twenty films participating in the competition this time. They come from 13 countries around the world.

I took a look at the poster for "Bad Guys". It's very nice and the picture is very exquisite. But why are the words "Director Lyman Rust" written on it so prominent?

Wouldn't this make the director look vain?

Although Lehmann also knew that Europa Pictures wanted to promote him as a director more at home, he felt ashamed no matter what. These words took up one-fifth of the entire poster, and they were still in the middle and at the bottom.

Hanging in a prominent position.

So particular.

The two went into the exhibition hall inside and found Luc Besson chatting with an old man with gray hair.

Seeing them, he waved his hand and called Lyman over.

"This is Mr. Gretel. He has worked at the film festival for many years and is a cadre of the organizing committee."

Oh, it turns out that he is a member of the film festival’s planning team, so no wonder he needs to be specially introduced.

"Hello, I'm Lyman." He stretched out his hand with a warm smile on his face.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I like your works very much." Gretel was very cheerful, and he patted Lyman on the shoulder affectionately to show his goodwill.

He is responsible for a lot of work. In addition to selecting films for reference, he often serves as a judge at major film festivals, which is considered a senior qualification.

The opening ceremony this afternoon was also planned by him.

A few people chatted for a while, and Lyman felt that the time was almost up, so he left in advance.

After all, not only China attaches great importance to form, France is no exception. He is just here to take a look first, and he will be asked to walk the red carpet with the main creators later.

Although he only thought this process was troublesome, looking at Eva Green's happy face, he felt it didn't matter.

...

Just before 4 p.m., the red carpet ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival officially kicked off.

As the chairman of the jury, Patrice Chahou and eight other jury members were the first to stand on the red carpet.

Among the nine people, three are from France and two are from the United States. This division of members’ power is enough to reveal some clues about the film festival’s selection.

In fact, the red carpet in Cannes is not long, not even as long as the Oscars, Golden Globes and other awards.

But it is also a great platform for celebrities to show their style. After all, at this moment, media people from all over the world are gathered in the press box.

The jury members each spoke a few words, took a group photo as usual, and then walked up the grand steps of the Palais des Festivals.

According to the instructions of the relevant person in charge of the organizer, Lyman and the others were assigned to the second wave of red carpets.

After the main creators of "Elephant" finished their duties, it was their turn.

Neither Nicolas Cage nor Heath Ledger came to participate. The former did not want to be tired from traveling long distances, while the latter accepted a role in "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Li Yin.

He found the role in it very challenging and took the initiative to lower his salary to join the cast.

He called Lehmann about this matter.

In fact, after working with Heath Ledger, it changed a lot of his life experiences, and even his ex-girlfriend was completely missed.

Yes, it's the "Kelly Party". If he doesn't take over the filming of "Fury", he will probably fall in love with the movie and start a "sister-brother relationship" with Naomi Watts.

In "Brokeback Mountain", as expected, he also fell in love with Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the play.

He has already missed his girlfriend, so naturally he cannot let her lose love again. Although Lyman always feels that falling in love caused by being too involved in drama is very unreliable, facts have also proved that this method cannot last long.

Go to the end.

But, life is his own, isn't it?

Tom Cruise did come, and he also brought a female companion named Sofia Vergara, who is in the American modeling industry.

A group of people went up one after another.

Eva Green was slightly behind Lehmann by half a body and was walking very slowly. As a last resort, Lehmann also slowed down in order to take care of her.

The local French reporters took their group of people very seriously, holding up their cameras and flashing their spotlights.

After finally walking down the red carpet, we entered the interview and photo area in front of the Palais des Festivals, where we were quickly surrounded by a large number of reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

Of course, they were standing in the designated area outside.

Most of them are from France, and occasionally from the United States, Italy, Britain and other places.

Lyman listened to their inquiries with a smile and simply selected a few questions to answer.

"...Do you have confidence?"

"have."

It’s done.

When he walked to the jury, Lehmann greeted the three French judges including Patrice Chahou, and after a few polite words, he slipped into the innermost exhibition hall.

After the red carpet, of course comes the opening ceremony.

Lyman was sitting in the front row, chatting with Eva Green, Ryan and others, and paying attention to what was going on around him from time to time.

Maybe it was over outside, and spectators began to enter the venue one after another.

As the premiere time gets closer, there are more and more people.

The conference hall with nearly two thousand people was full.

Of course, the first few rows of seats were filled with film critics, media guests, participating directors from other countries, and the like.

It was estimated that it was almost time, and a staff member came over with a microphone in his hand.

Lyman understood immediately when he saw him running toward him.

Come on, Cannes also likes to do pre-screening speeches.

At this time, the headlights suddenly turned on and hit their area.

Not to mention, the temperature has risen several degrees.

Lyman took the microphone, and after a brief introduction, he introduced several actors.

Eva Green stood under the lamp, not knowing where to put her hands.

Looking at the Qianlai people in front of me, as their eyes swept over me, my body became more and more unnatural.

If Lyman had noticed this scene, he would have said, "Don't be afraid, you'll get used to it if you see it too much."

I remember when he was at the Sundance Film Festival, he was nervous and didn't know what to do.

Tom Cruise showed his signature "Tom Cruise" smile again, which actually caused a burst of cheers from the audience.

Seeing this scene, several Italian directors in the front row looked a little unnatural. Their works were not even qualified to be shortlisted, so they embarrassingly got a chance to be screened in a small theater that could only accommodate a few hundred people.

Seeing that a work performed by a star like Tom Cruise can be shortlisted for Cannes and even selected as the opening film, I feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I don't understand that an idol actor's work can also participate in the Cannes Film Festival with us?"

"That's right, it's no wonder that the commercial atmosphere in Cannes is getting stronger and stronger. It's because there are so many people like this, and the director whose name is who. How can the audience not be disappointed if they find an idol to play a role? It's really disrespectful to the movie.

art."

Several directors next to him who also belong to the literary genre nodded in agreement.
