Chapter 228 Competing for the Queen?
"It's really..." Jiang Yingyue was completely shocked by the powerful confidence and aura of Zhou Yi. Only the top international superstars have such appeal and influence.
But Zhou Yi, 22, did so easily.
It can be said that Zhou Yi is simply a born king of red carpet. As long as he appears on the red carpet, everyone else will be dull, just like the moon and stars, meeting the real sun.
"Let's go, red flowers need green leaves to match. It's time for us green leaves to play!" Wei Daolin adjusted faster because he had no expectations for the red carpet show, just don't be embarrassed.
But he was puzzled. A man was so beautiful that he was so beautiful that he was overwhelming. It was not an exaggeration to use the top idiom "beautiful and beautiful" to modify it.
Finally, I can only say that this is the gift of God, perhaps among the seven billion people, it is also unique.
Zhou Yi, who has the honor of Venice's best actor, is not a little fish and shrimp. He is very topical. A man is more beautiful than all women. It will be amazing in any country in the world.
Zhou Yi, who had just walked the red carpet, was blocked by the host and asked a lot of questions.
Zhou Yi's answer was briefly described, but he had a strong sense of confidence.
"Mr. Zhou Yi, how did you do so beautifully! When you walked from the end of the red carpet, I felt like I was electrocuted, my whole body was trembling, and even my soul was throbbing. You are so beautiful!" The smile on the blond beauty's face was so enthusiastic.
"This is born." The dimples at the corner of Zhou Yi's lips bloomed again: "God didn't have the exact same one when he created man. I may be the shining one."
"This is your first time in Cannes, how do you feel?"
"Very good. I just visited with my friends for two days. The people here are very welcoming and the scenery is beautiful!"
"So do you have any prospects for the award this time?" the host continued to ask.
Zhou Yi paused for a moment, then said to the microphone: "If possible, I want to make a small request. I have already won a Best Actor last year, so this year, I want to march towards the Best Actor's Crown!"
"Wow!" The female host was obviously shocked, and the entire red carpet scene was also in an uproar: "Do you identify yourself as a woman in terms of gender identity?"
Gender identity disorder refers to people with men's body, women's mind or women's body, men's mind. Their bodies contain a soul of the opposite sex, and they do not recognize their current gender, but want to change.
Some of them are radically adjusted through hormones or sex reassignment surgery, while others are regarded as mental illnesses and struggle in pain.
"No, of course I am a man, but when I play a female role, I will completely immerse myself in the psychology and identity of a woman. This is a very wonderful experience, but I did a good job." Zhou Yi's smile has a charm that is irresistible or hostile: "There have been 70 Cannes actors and 70 Cannes actors, but in world history, no one has won both actors and actors at the same time, and I want to try it."
Only by being a unique existence can you attract more attention.
That's why Zhou Yi made such a "small" request.
All the selections for actors and actresses are based on the gender of the actors themselves, which is a basic principle.
However, in the history of world film, there has never been a cross-dressing actor like Zhou Yi who is vivid and brilliant in the peak of his performance.
Moreover, he has created more than one female character, not a flash of inspiration.
This is very subtle.
Of course, the female host was not qualified to answer Zhou Yi’s question in person, but the news quickly spread to most parts of the world.
Is a person both an actor and a actress?
Wow, this is too cool!
Many people will have such an impression in their minds at the first time.
Do unique things and do things that have never been seen in the world.
The discussion on whether Zhou Yi is qualified to participate in the selection of film queens has instantly become popular around the world.
When the news came back to China, many people were shocked by Zhou Yi's bold and magical proposals, and their enthusiasm burst out instantly.
You should know that China already has a Cannes Best Actor, but it has no Cannes Best Actor.
Hundreds or even thousands of actors and actresses were born in the entire world, but so far no one has the title of actors and actresses at the same time.
If you want to do it, be the first. This belief has long been engraved in the bones of Chinese people. Therefore, when Zhou Yi's proposal was released, both Chinese media and ordinary netizens were almost one-sidedly supportive.
"Miss Yiyi is a girl, why can't she be the queen of the movie?"
"Yes, if I can marry Miss Yiyi, I will wake up in my dreams! She is so beautiful and beautiful, gentle and kind, handsome and cold. She wants to take the Best Actress and the Best Actress, and she wants to take both hands, and both hands must be hard!"
"Chinese people need a Cannes Best Actress, and Miss Yiyi is definitely the best candidate, otherwise they will have to wait for another twenty or even thirty years!"
"Yes, the woman who plays a woman in women's clothing that Miss Yiyi wears with her ability, why can't she be the best actress!"
On the world, whether it is Japan Goryeo or the old New World in Europe, in the voting discussion posts of many film-related media websites, the approval rating for Zhou Yi's run for the film queen is far beyond the opposition, and the smallest gap is 60:40.
In just two or three days, Zhou Yi's popularity in the direct range has soared countless times, and his image of being overwhelming on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival last year and this year's Cannes Film Festival also spread.
This popularity even robs half of the popularity of the opening films of the Cannes Film Festival this year, and the Cannes Film Festival is also happy to see it.
Zhou Yi has reached the level of a big shot who is qualified to change the rules, and for Zhou Yi and Cannes, this is a win-win opportunity.
So on the third day of the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, the film festival chairman Fu Mao announced to the public: "Zhou Yi's cross-dressing performance is very exciting and vivid. He really transcended the limitations of gender and perfectly performed the charm of women in the movie. We decided to respect Zhou Yi's own wishes and public attitudes, allow him to participate in the competition for the best actors, and automatically withdraw from the competition for the best actors."
As soon as the official news announcement of Cannes was released, the people who were on the gossip were so happy. Zhou Yi obviously wanted to make a big news, and Cannes cooperated in this way, so there will be a good show now.
What kind of movie is "Sword Dance in the City"? What kind of performance did Zhou Yi contribute to it? Can he create new miracles and become the best actor with his man?
At this moment, Zhou Yi has undoubtedly become the biggest focus and hot spot of this Cannes Film Festival, overshadowing all other movie stars.
In this case, on May 19, "Sword Dance in the City" began its global premiere, in the largest cinema in the festival's Palace Master Hall.
This cinema has 530 seats, and the award ceremony at the closing ceremony is also held here every year. Only popular movies are qualified to premiere here, and "Sword Dance in the City" undoubtedly meets the standards.
The main creators of "Sword Dance in the City" dressed in full costume stood at the entrance of the cinema to welcome the audience, and everyone was really enthusiastic. The first premiere began at 9 o'clock. At 8:30, in addition to the reserved seats for critics, they were already full of seats.
Obviously, "Sword Dance in the City" has attracted too much attention. They can't wait to have a sneak peek to see what kind of performance Zhou Yi has contributed to it and whether it is possible to win the Cannes Best Actress this year.
You should know that after Zhou Yi made such a bold statement, he had already put himself on the fire and roasted him.
If he can really be crowned the Cannes Best Actress, he is really awesome, the number one person in the history of the film industry in a century! From then on, he will be very different. He will go out of China and move to the whole world, and become a stolen figure in the entire world film industry.
However, if you lose in the final Best Actress Selection, or if you perform well enough, you can't participate in the Best Actress Competition, then it will definitely be a super crisis. Although it cannot be said that you are defeated, you will also be regarded as a jumping clown by everyone.
It can be said that Zhou Yi's risk in doing this is very high, and of course he gains a lot. It is a double-edged sword.
Cannes official also opened two cinemas and three screening halls, diverting the audience.
But even so, nearly two thousand seats in six venues were full, and spectators who failed to enter had to wait for the next game.
"Mr. Scott, I'm glad to see you!" Zhou Yi shook hands with his old friend Scott happily.
Scott, a film critic from Le Figaro, is the one who proposed that "the unreproducible smile should be remembered in the history of film". He is also the number one "Zhou Yi" who is currently the number one in Tianzi. He has strong combat power and outstanding influence.
"Zhou Yi, I know that sooner or later I will see you in Cannes, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Scott tried his best to make himself serious: "I hope you don't fail to give the most perfect performance because of the rush. I'm very fair and objective!"
"Then please comment after reading it!" Zhou Yi showed a confident smile.
Just as he saw Scott away, a young and beautiful blonde beauty rushed over and almost hit Zhou Yi's arms.
"Hi, Serena, you're beautiful again after not seeing each other for a year!" Zhou Yi recognized the blonde beauty, the girl he met on the beach with Sun Qingtong at the Venice Film Festival last year.
"You haven't called me once when I left you the contact information!" Serena looked at Zhou Yi unhappily: "Am I so uncharacteristic?"
French girls are very enthusiastic and direct, and they have to say something in person.
"I'm sorry, this is my negligence." Zhou Yi had no choice but to apologize sincerely.
At this moment, a slender middle-aged man came over and said, "Serina, do you know each other?"
The middle-aged man is also blonde and blue-eyed, and he is a little handsome. He looks very close to Serena.
"Let me introduce it. This is my father, Victor, a film businessman. This is Zhou Yi, the greatest performing artist in China, and my idol!" Serena introduced it.
Victor handed Zhou Yi a business card: "Mr. Zhou Yi, the release of "Sword Dance in the City" in the European region, we can talk about it later."
The movie premiere is about to begin. Without too much greetings, Victor and Serena walked into the cinema.
Zhou Yi glanced at the business card, and Victor's identity notes: "President and CEO of mk2."
Wow, he is also a big shot!
mk2, a French local snake, has a close relationship with the Cannes Film Festival and is also the largest film publisher in the entire continent, no doubt about it.
Previously, the European copyright of "Hope" was sold to mk2, but unfortunately the price was only 650,000 euros, and the agent in charge was just a film selection manager.
And this time, Victor, as the president of mk2, actually came to the premiere of "Sword Dance in the City", which shows his importance to Zhou Yi and this movie.
However, Victor's intimate arrival does not mean that the copyright of "Sword Dance" can be sold. As a filmmaker, you still have to use the movie to speak.
Everyone has a scale in their hearts whether it is a good movie or a bad movie.
Beauty is beauty, ugliness is ugly. Although there are different aesthetics, movies naturally have criteria for judgment.
Only truly good movies and works can help you to a higher level. "Sword Dance in the City" is undoubtedly a very excellent work in Zhou Yi's heart, and his confidence and strength come from then on.
The more than 500 viewers sitting in the premiere cinema at this moment were half professional film critics and film media reporters, and the other half were film enthusiasts, especially literary and artistic film enthusiasts.
Most of them don’t know how many movies they have watched. They have already passed the initial stage of simply pursuing pleasure and excitement, and have entered the level of wanting to think deeply and judge in various aspects such as art, thought, and techniques.
These audiences are definitely not so easy to serve and fool. They come with their own brains and have their own standards of judgment.
When the time came, Zhou Yi and his group returned to the inside of the cinema and sat in the last row of seats.
This was reserved in advance, and you can not only see the movies, but also see the audience's reactions.
When many movies are released, people will leave one after another. Even if every movie shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit has its own highlights, the audience only looks at the work itself and they will not be polite at all.
In fact, even in the main creative team of "Sword Dance of Swords", only Zhou Yi and Sun Qingtong participated in the post-production of the movie and watched the final film. Photographers Du Kefeng, Jiang Yingyue and Wei Daolin have never watched "Sword Dance of Swords". Although they had a premonition when filming, this would be a very excellent movie, but I really don't know how outstanding it is.
Now, the lights in the cinema dimmed and everyone stopped whispering. The world premiere of "Sword Dance in the City" has begun.
ps: This chapter is still 4,000 words, make up for yesterday's.
I recommend a book called "Daily in Women's Clothing". The protagonist is very cute and Bichi, but he is a boy.
Chapter completed!
