Chapter 434 Cannes Opening
Chapter 434 Cannes Opening
Shu Mei was somewhat anxious.
It was impossible for Lin Qingyue to go out so early in the morning without even saying hello to everyone.
Then I knocked on the door but no one answered, and my cell phone was unreachable, and this was in a foreign country.
It's inevitable that people are a little worried.
After learning the news from Sister Yan, the first thing she thought of was to find her core boss and ask what to do.
but.
She was getting anxious when a confusing voice suddenly came from the room.
"I'm fine. I left my phone in my room."
Huh?
Why does this voice sound a bit like Director Lin’s?
Shu Mei was stunned and looked up subconsciously.
It’s my brother’s room, that’s right.
Why is Director Lin in my brother’s room?
Shu Mei was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly reacted and her whole body was shocked.
Director Lin is in his brother's room! ?
She spent the night in her brother's room last night! ?
Shu Mei looked at the door in shock.
What will happen if a man and a woman sleep in the same room at night?
She clenched her palms a little, feeling sad in her heart. Her brother had been taken advantage of by the "bad woman" again!
In the morning, when the main creators of the crew gathered, the atmosphere was undoubtedly a bit subtle.
Although Yan Yongmei did not spread the news that Lin Qingyue could not be found, she only asked some key people.
But it is inevitable that some news will leak out.
Everyone had different reactions to the rumors they heard.
Assistant director Feng Shang still had the typical miserable look of an old farmer and didn't care about this matter.
The lead photographer Lou Ziwen didn't look surprised at all. What's wrong with the director sleeping with the male lead? It's very normal.
The second female lead Liu Miao had a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Her idol was dumped and she was not the heroine.
Yan Yongmei, who knew more information and understood Lin Qingyue better, felt a little strange.
She knew that this was Lin Qingyue's first love, and she also heard that Lin Xueming didn't like Wu Mu very much.
This is fine in the country, but once you go abroad, they sleep together?
If Director Dalin knew this, he would probably be so angry that his face would turn pale.
Yan Yongmei thought to herself, not worrying too much about other people's family affairs, but just complained in a low voice, "Don't you need to adjust to the time difference?"
Lin Qingyue remained calm and said, "I have something to tell Amu."
Yan Yongmei Haha, do you think I believe it?
What do you have to say if you want to sleep together and talk about it all night?
Lin Qingyue: Those who are pure are naturally pure.
She said to the assembled crew members:
"Everyone is free today. Our movie premiere will be on the third day after the opening ceremony. Apart from the opening ceremony tomorrow, if you want to watch the movies at other times, please ask Sister Yan for permission. If you don't want to watch a movie but want to go out for a walk, please let her know in advance. At least two people should go together. You can contact me at any time if you have any questions."
The Cannes Film Festival lasts for twelve days starting from the opening ceremony, during which time the participants will walk the red carpet and watch the opening film.
Then, over the next eleven days, the films shortlisted for the main competition unit and various sub-units will be broadcast.
The jury members need to watch all the films in the main competition unit live within these eleven days, and then start closed-door discussions and voting. The results will be announced and awards will be presented at the closing ceremony on the last day.
After arranging the crew members, Lin Qingyue turned to Yan Yongmei and asked, "Sister Yan, has yesterday's program been released?"
"It's out." Yan Yongmei nodded and took out a magazine about the size of an A4 paper with about twenty pages.
During the Cannes Film Festival, many magazines around the world will publish special issues on Cannes every day, including well-known magazines such as "International Screen", "Variety", "Film Market" and so on.
Among them, the daily special issue of "International Screen" is the most well-known, and it is almost becoming the official program guide of Cannes Film Festival.
It will report in real time every day on various situations before the film festival, including celebrity movements, hotly discussed movies, movie reviews, judges' evaluations, etc. It is the primary channel for understanding the overall trends of the film festival.
Lin Qingyue took it, found a place to sit down and looked through it, and Wu Mu also came over curiously.
Lin Qingyue made some space for him, held his hand, and flipped it over with one hand.
The first day hadn’t opened yet, so there were no specific movie ratings. All the talk was about the movements of various big directors and stars, as well as the hotly discussed movies.
For example, the cover topic is [The farewell of an 80-year-old action legend, Harrison Ford’s final adventure in “Indiana Jones 5”].
He is an action star in the United States who has starred in "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones" and "Blade Runner" series.
Others include Tom Cruise, Old Cooper and many other world superstars, all of whom can be ranked in the top 50 of the previous 300 global celebrities.
Although this film was not included in the main competition unit and was only screened for promotion, it was still given a large amount of coverage in the program brochure.
"Our main competitor is French director Tris' Death Mail. This is her third time to be nominated for the top three. She is a French director and there are three French judges on the jury, which gives her an advantage."
"The second is Ruben's "Train of Sadness". According to the introduction, it is a suspenseful art film that he is good at."
Lin Qingyue studied her opponent based on the contents of the brochure.
I had read most of the program brochure, but there was still no report or development about several films in their country.
Lin Qingyue was not disappointed. Their films were not favorites to win awards, so it was normal that they were not reported in the program brochure.
Well, it’s not completely unreported.
Lin Qingyue was flipping through the pages with her fingers, and suddenly stopped, then burst out laughing as she looked at the contents of the brochure.
"You're on the cover of 'Today's Style'."
Well, Wu Mu did appear in the magazine, with a whole large color page of Wu Mu’s portrait.
[Today's most fashionable: Chinese celebrity Wu Mu. ]
This is a funny selection in the program magazine. The editor of the program magazine selects the most fashionable person from the street photos every day and publishes it.
Wu Mu looked at his grey casual jacket and pants, confused, "How am I fashionable?"
Lin Qingyue looked at him and guessed, "Maybe it's a fashionable face?"
Read the brochure and arrange work in the morning.
The two of them also went out for a walk in the afternoon.
night
Wu Mu knocked on Lin Qingyue's door and said, "Qingyue, I got the script of Love Letter. I'll sleep at your place later."
Lin Qingyue looked at him for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Yeah."
She took the script and looked at it. She originally thought that this script was just an excuse for herself to have something to do yesterday. After reading it for a while, her face gradually became serious.
The story of "Love Letter" cannot be said to be exquisite, but it is also wonderful enough. The last scene where the girl Shu opened the library card and found her own sketch is a scene that left a deep impression on many viewers.
And
Lin Qingyue looked at Wu Mu with tears in her eyes, "Did you write this script?"
Wu Mu remained calm and said, "Yes."
Normally, he would be too lazy to claim the credit of being the script writer and would just skip it.
But the script of "Love Letter" is a little different - Wu Mu only discovered recently when he reviewed it that this movie script coincidentally fits his various real-life situations.
For example, the plot in which the male tree has a crush on the female tree fits the assumption of secret love that he had talked about with Lin Qingyue when he sang "Middle School Years" before.
For example, the sketch of the female tree that Nan Shu drew on the library card is just like the sketch of him that Lin Qingyue drew on the back of the storyboard a long time ago. For example, the last book that Nan Shu borrowed was "Remembrance of Things Past", which Lin Qingyue said was her favorite book when filming "Parting".
There were too many coincidences, it was as if he had mixed up their stories and written them specifically for Lin Qingyue.
In this case, it would be troublesome to just skip it.
Wu Mu admitted it immediately.
Well, it seems like I dealt a critical blow to my girlfriend.
He watched as the light in Lin Qingyue's eyes grew softer and softer.
February 2th, the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival.
Han Yan and Zhang Li were standing in front of the TV. "What time will the Cannes broadcast start?"
"Five-thirty in the evening." Zhang Li remembered.
"Hey, I checked online before, didn't Cannes start at 5 o'clock this year? Why is it broadcasting at 5:30?"
"It's a delayed broadcast, so it's easier to edit the footage."
Every year, the official Cannes opening ceremony will be broadcast live, mainly on French TV and YouTube official channels. Television stations in other countries, such as BBC, TCM, etc. will broadcast it depending on the situation.
Domestic CCTV6 will also broadcast, but in previous years it was an edited recorded version. This year it has made some progress and has been changed to a delayed live broadcast.
The main concern is that they might encounter stars wearing too bold clothes or scenes that are politically incorrect, so delayed broadcasting would make it easier for them to edit.
But Han Yan was a little unhappy, because what they wanted to see was something bold!
How can they watch the fun if you cut it off?
"Are you still going to make an abridged version? Why don't we watch it on YouTube? YouTube is a live broadcast." Han Yan checked and simply suggested.
"also."
Both of them know how to use the Internet scientifically and can speak English. Although their English is not very good, they still have no problem understanding.
They didn't even wait for the TV to come on, they just took out their tablets and went on YouTube.
The broadcast on the YouTube channel hasn't started yet, but there are already over 100,000 viewers in the live broadcast room.
"So many people?" Han Yan was surprised.
"After all, they are one of the three major film festivals, and there are many fans from all over the world waiting to see their idols walk the red carpet." Zhang Li knows something about it.
They also fall into this category.
If Wu Mu hadn’t been there, he would definitely not have had the patience to watch the live broadcast and would have just waited for the reduced-traffic version online.
"I wonder how many shots he will have later." Han Yan was somewhat worried.
Zhang Li has lost confidence. In the official live broadcast of Cannes every year, not everyone is given a full shot, and many carpet stars and internet celebrities are simply skipped.
How many screen times will a star like Wu Mu, who is not well-known outside and whose nominated movies are also unremarkable, get?
Zhang Li looked at the names of various big names that were flooding the live broadcast room and felt little confident.
Just when she lost confidence, the barrage of comments flashed in front of their screens, and she caught a glimpse of the name of their idol.
Ok?
At first she thought it was an illusion, but when she looked carefully, it was true.
Someone spoke in Chinese on the barrage!
"Is there anyone who wants to see the noon dog?"
This is obviously also a viewer who has climbed over the wall in China.
And as soon as this person asked the question, it seemed as if some mechanism was triggered.
A lot of Wu Mu's names popped up.
"Here it is!"
"I knew that some people would not want to watch the edited version. Otherwise, what if the scene where Wu Gou gave the middle finger on the red carpet was edited out?"
"Noon dog, noon dog, noon dog! I want to see baby Noon dog walking on the red carpet without anyone paying attention to him, like a minion!"
"Don't dream on the floor above. With Wu Gou's looks, do you expect no one to pay attention to him? I'm here to see him shock the crowd with his looks."
"Catch all those people who illegally climbed over the wall upstairs! If they dared to climb the ladder today, I don't even dare to think about what they will do tomorrow!"
Not only Chinese, there are even some other foreign languages mixed with Chinese.
",. (You bastards, don't call Wu Mu brother like that!)"
"Hua Guo's Red Deer Audience, Mu Mu's ちゃんはwho is paying attention! (Hua Guo's red deer audience, Mu Mu's attention will not go unnoticed!)"
Zhang Li and Han Yan looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Their idol is getting better too. Even on the red carpet in Cannes there were so many people waiting to see her, and there were audiences from more than one country waiting.
In front of the TV, mobile phones and computer screens, countless audiences are waiting for the Cannes Film Festival to begin.
On the red carpet in front of the Salle Lumiere in Cannes, the show is about to begin.
The open space in front of the red carpet was already packed with people, filled with audience members who were shouting loudly, waiting for the opening.
On the road leading from outside to the red carpet, there were already some cars queuing up waiting to enter.
"Leya, Anto, please check the equipment one last time. The live broadcast is about to begin."
The official live broadcast team is also making final preparations.
After the inspection, the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival started on time at 5 pm.
"Hello everyone, I am Léa Salame, the host of the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival."
"I'm Anto."
The two official hosts introduced themselves and made the opening remarks.
After they finished their opening introduction, the guests began to appear on the red carpet.
"The person walking in the forefront is the chairman of this year's Cannes jury, Mr. Mathieu Albert, a famous French director with countless classic works, such as."
The first person to come on stage was someone Wu Mu knew well, the great French director Mathieu Albert from the previous Paris show, and also the judge that Lin Qingyue was worried would have a negative impact two days ago.
Matthew Albert, with gray hair and a serious face, walked in from the red carpet entrance without stopping.
Countless cameras on both sides of the red carpet were clicking and flashing.
Usually, celebrities or directors will stop to take pictures for the media on both sides and strike a good pose.
But the old man was obviously not interested in these things. He finished the journey in less than half a minute, which took others five or six minutes to complete.
But after he finished walking, he strangely did not go in directly, but walked to the official live broadcast team and asked something in a low voice.
The host, Antoine de Caunes, was closer and could vaguely hear some of it.
"When will Wu Mu and the others come on stage?"
"Noonwood?"
"It's the Chinese star from the crew of 'Farewell'."
"They're in number twenty-seven."
Huh?
The chairman of the jury took the initiative to ask about the position of a Chinese star he had never heard of?
Antoine was surprised and curious about the Chinese star and why the chairman of the jury asked about him specifically.
Antoine was especially shocked when he saw Matthew Albert just standing there waiting for something after asking the question.
In this case, he wouldn't be planning to take the initiative to wait and greet that Chinese star! ——
ps: I have adjusted my work and rest schedule.
