Chapter 219 Li An’s words are shocking! Pubic hair said!
"News from CCTV Movie Channel, the opening ceremony of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival was held grandly. Director Guan's anecdotes about last year's Cannes detonated the Cannes scene."
"Chinese director Guan Ling made an appearance with "Shoplifters" On the red carpet, Zhou Xun wore an off-the-shoulder black evening gown, with a stunning look and unparalleled elegance.”
“The fairy sister made her first red carpet appearance at Cannes, wearing a petticoat that Dior spent 160 hours making, with perfect body curves. Revealed.
It is reported that the hand-embroidered flowers on Liu Yifei’s dress took more than 550 hours of creation. The rose flowers are made of exquisite silk, and the stems and veins are embroidered with rose gold and silver sequins. Each one is unique! "
"Guan Ling, Quentin, Huppert, Liu Yifei and others took a group photo. Liu Yifei went abroad and surpassed everyone."
"The Chinese director took a group photo, and Ang Lee was all smiles."
“[Picture][Picture][Picture]”
“Sina Entertainment’s front reporting team reported,
There were many highlights in this opening ceremony, and the short tribute video of the chairman of the judges attracted attention The incident sparked global attention
Although the red carpet at the opening ceremony was not as star-studded, this year's film festival is recognized as "the strongest since 2000" and most of the shortlisted directors are well-known.
Only from a directorial level, it is not inferior to the shining stars at Cannes’ 60th birthday.
Let us wait and see whether Chinese films can win the trophy that Chinese people have missed for many years. ”
……
In this year’s three major film festivals, Hollywood participants are more reserved than in previous years, and many Hollywood movies and production companies have also reduced their promotions in Europe.
So Quentin is the only American film in the competition this time.
The editing of "Inglourious Basterds" has only been completed recently, because there are many Nazi images played by German actors. Everyone thinks that this film may win a place for the United States in the awards.
But this year's film festival does not lack Hollywood stars, but it lacks topics.
On the contrary. Guan Ling's appearance has brought people's excitement for Cannes to a higher level
As the director of "2012" and "Hurricane Rescue", Guan Ling has been the director of "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" in the past two years. Over the years, it has gained countless fans around the world
This is also the reason why Cannes deliberately edited Guan Ling's bold words last year.
Guan Ling broke out of the entertainment industry last year by beating people. This kind of traffic is also very important to Cannes.
As for whether Guan Ling can win the Palme d'Or, Cannes doesn't care.
The film festival cares about exposure and reputation, and Guan Ling can provide him with these.
Guan Ling knows this very well, and he is not angry that Cannes uses him to divert traffic.
……
At the opening scene, many people came to chat with Guan Ling.
“Hello, Director Guan.”
Oh, it’s Bong Joon-ho, whom I met at the Shanghai Film Festival before.
Guan Ling did not give Bong Joon Hao a cold face. He was also planning to shoot a movie in South Korea. Ang Lee had just talked to Guan Ling about Tang Wei before. Guan Ling thought about it and went over to talk to Bong Joon Hao.
"Hello, Director Bong Joon-ho."
"I'm very happy that Director Guan still remembers me. My "Mother" premiere will be at 22:00 on the 16th. If Director Guan is willing, I hope you can enjoy it."
Bong Joon-ho pointed at the actors behind him, "These are the starring actors of my movie, Jin Huizi, Yuan Bin and Qin Jiu."
Guan Ling smacked a little. Hello, I don’t know much about him, only the guy named Yuan Bin, he seems to have become famous in China.
"If I have time, I will go and take a look." Guan Ling stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. After all, Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" has been reserved for him in advance. With a little favor, Guan Ling didn't think much either.
"Thank you so much." Bong Joon-ho and Guan Ling both bowed to 90 degrees. They have a strong status in the Korean entertainment industry, although Bong Joon-ho has previously filmed "The Monster of the Han River". This is a very famous movie in South Korea, but when facing Guan Ling, Bong Joon-ho still knows who is the eldest brother.
"Feng, I have a movie script here, are you interested?" Guan Ling and Bong Joon-ho were aside, and Guan Ling mentioned "The Melting Pot".
“Is what Director Guan said true?” Bong Joon-ho was so excited.
Guan Ling discussed the outline of the script of "The Crucible" with Bong Joon Hao. Bong Joon Hao's expression suddenly changed, and then he said with some panic.
“Director Guan, can you really give me this script?”
"Of course, this movie cannot be shot in China. And it is what happened in your country." Guan Ling said, "But I want to appoint the actress."
When I learned that the heroine was from "Lust, Caution" When it comes to playing the female lead, Bong Joon-ho nods like a fool.
What a profit!
Guan Ling asked his assistant to establish contact with Bong Junhao, and immediately contacted CJ Entertainment.
When CJ Entertainment learned that the director had chosen Bong Joon-ho, they immediately said they would send professionals to Cannes immediately.
Tang Wei will come too.
It seems that we are going to finalize a series of contents within the next few days.
Bong Joon-ho is feeling a little numb.
In just a few words, Bong Joon-ho finalized the cooperation with CJ Entertainment and Guan Ling, and Bong Joon-ho didn't even realize it.
Only the incident mentioned by Director Guan just now made Bong Joon-ho's scalp numb.
"That incident may really change the entire history of South Korea..."
A raging fire suddenly rose in Bong Joon-ho's heart.
Replacing "The Crucible" with "Parasite", Guan Ling felt that it was not an insult to this very talented Korean director.
And it would not be a bad thing to think that Tang Wei could always occupy a place in the history of Korean films,
and be in a film that all Korean actors look up to. Son.
......
Han Sanpin came over with a man wearing glasses and chatted with Guan Ling for a few words. The visitor is Media Asia boss Lin Jianyue.
"If "Nanjing Nanjing" lost to Director Guan, Mr. Lin would be convinced. But it lost to my Hong Kong director Chen Jiashang. It can be seen that Director Guan is not only good at training actors, but also very good at training directors. Do you have any experience?"
Guan Ling smacked his lips. Lin Jianyue's words could not be said to be provocative or cowardly.
"What are you talking about? I didn't participate much in the production of the movie directed by Chen Jiashang."
"Director Guan, please stop being modest. I would like to invite you to attend the 'Hong Kong Film Centenary' press conference on May 16. Director Guan, do you have time to attend? Hong Kong filmmakers all respect Director Guan."< br>
While Lin Jianyue was talking, Shuqi also came over and invited Guan Ling to participate.
“When the time comes, South Korea’s chief film producer OHJUNG-WAN and Harvey Weinstein, the boss of the American film company Weinstein, will come. Among Chinese directors, we will definitely need Director Han and Director Guan to support us. Yeah."
"What do you think, Director Han?"
Guan Ling looked at Han Sanpin.
Guan Ling cannot give this face directly.
Han Sanpin said with a smile, "Then get involved. It was hard to say a few years ago, but now, mainland and Hong Kong movies are no different from one family."
"Then thank you, Director Han. "Guan Dao."
Lin Jianyue picked up the red wine glass and drank a glass.
Then he mentioned the last word "Nanjing Nanjing".
"The film will be screened twice in Cannes, and we have purchased advertisements in Cannes magazines for the film. I hope we can gain something in terms of copyright."
Guan Ling was noncommittal. .
Many media also came to interview Guan Ling, but Guan Ling gave it away.
“For the specific content of the movie, let’s wait until the premiere to see it. But I need to remind everyone that in Cannes, the first thing everyone is asked to do before the movie is released is to put down the shooting equipment. , put down the phone, put down the light.
But "Shoplifters" is different,
The first step to watch this movie is to put down your three views.”
"Let go of your three views?"
Reporters are confused about Guan Ling's answer?
The audience needs to put aside their three views. Why does this sound a bit immoral?
… After the opening ceremony, there was no small party.
Guan Ling and Liu Yifei went to the coastline to play together.
Riding in the cool breeze, I strolled along the Cannes coastline. In order to cover up their whereabouts, Huang Bo and Zhou Xun were also recruited as wingmen.
"What's the matter, Director Guan, you two are not in love, are you?"
While others were not paying attention, Huang Bo's taste of Qingdao came out again.
"Why do I feel that you dragged me and Zhou Xun out to act as a shield for you?"
"Play more, watch more, and talk less." Guan Ling signaled that Huang Bo needed to eat more. .
"After tomorrow, we will act separately. If you want to attend their movie premiere, you can go. If you don't want to, just go out and have fun. Just remember to meet up on the 17th."
"Thank you very much. Director Guan is on vacation.”
Huang Bo and Zhou Xun were very excited, but they really didn’t dare to act alone if Guan Ling didn’t say anything.
Coming to Cannes for the first time, Liu Yifei burst out laughing.
Natural Baths.
There are also unconventional sand sculptures on the beach.
The scenery is so beautiful.
Not far out, Shuqi chased after him.
Watching Guan Ling and Liu Yifei walking together, Shuqi thought for a while and went back.
"Director Guanda, I was surrounded by reporters on the red carpet of the opening just now. Some French people also asked me about "The Hearing Girl". They really liked that movie.< br>
Some reporters tried to trick me, but I was very tough and didn’t get anything out of my mouth. Am I good?”
Liu Yifei cocked her head, thinking she was very smart.
"Is your mouth... very tough?" Guan Ling tilted his head in confusion.
"Ah? This is open too?"
Liu Yifei was so angry that her teeth itched, and she wanted to punch Guan Ling directly.
What a shame!
"This is France. Although it is not Paris, it is a romantic city after all."
Guan Ling blinked.
"There are a lot of media." Liu Yifei said, "Our movie hasn't premiered yet, are you going to tire yourself out first?"
"Can I tire myself out?"
Guan Ling smiled and said, "I am stronger than eight cows."
"Huh..."
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Guan Ling.
This eye roll made Guan Ling quite dissatisfied and wanted to continue fighting, but suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
My mother-in-law doesn’t play mahjong, so she feels like she’s missing out on the thrill of cheating!
Guan Ling quickly shook off this boring thought. This thought was a bit perverted.
……
The opening film of the Cannes Film Festival is "Up".
"Spring Breeze" is the first film to be unveiled in the main competition section on May 14th.
On May 15th, Ang Lee's "Making Stockwood" will premiere, on the 16th, Johnnie To's "Revenge" will premiere, and on the 22nd, Tsai Ming-Liang's "Face" will premiere.
The premiere of "Shoplifters" is on May 17th.
I don’t know if it was a deliberate design by the Cannes organizers, but the films of these Chinese directors were all staggered.
But this also gave the participating Chinese people a chance to cheer each other up.
In fact, there were probably dozens of movie premiere invitations received by Guan Ling, but Guan Ling only selected a few here and there.
Guan Ling still has to watch these Chinese movies.
Besides, Quentin’s must go.
Guan Ling accepted Bong Joon-ho's invitation, as well as Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Inflatable Doll".
The reason why Guan Ling went to see Kore-eda Hirokazu's movie was essentially because he wanted to see this guy. After all, if you give him some attention, you can be considered a good person and a good deed.
Guan Ling watched the premiere of Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze", but there was indeed a lot of controversy after it ended.
Huang Bo kept frowning and looked a little nauseous.
Liu Yifei also looked at Guan Ling.
"I have goosebumps all over my body now. Love between men has such a huge impact on me."
Liu Yifei's little head shook like a rattle.
"To tell you the truth, I am too."
During the media interview, Guan Ling transformed into a contestant.
No matter what kind of questions and opinions the media raised, Guan Ling responded immediately, making Liu Yifei tremble all over.
European journalists spoke highly of this movie. It is a true love movie and Lou Ye's best work. The whole movie is like a sad poem.
Swinton, chairman of the jury, expressed his expectations for this movie!
Guan Ling was amazed by various comments.
You guys can still do it!
Many people in Europe even believe that this film is highly competitive in the competition. Guan Ling remembers that this film did win the Best Screenplay Award in its previous life.
But it has to be said that the broadcast of this movie means that the competition for this year's Palme d'Or has truly begun.
May 15th.
Ang Lee's "Making Stockwood" premiered and received rave reviews from media previews. Foreign journalists still praised the film as worthy of winning the Palme d'Or!
As Lee, who is competing in Cannes again after 13 years, he humorously joked at the press conference that he hopes to win the Grand Slam of the Category A Film Festival.
“But I don’t know, is there anyone who is willing to give comedy?”
As a comedy, Ang Lee is very clear about the problems with his film this time. .
But at the beginning of the shooting, he had already thought of a way to try the shooting.
In addition to the Huppert tribute short and the Guan Ling hello short, Ang Lee also created the third classic clip of this Cannes Film Festival. When the reporter was interviewing Ang Lee,
When asked about the difficulties he encountered while filming such a film that was different from his previous films, Ang Lee said surprisingly, “Women nowadays even shave their pubic hair, but in my case, In the movie, even the details of pubic hair have to be restored to what they looked like in that era. I think the biggest challenge is to make these girls grow hair again.”
After saying this, Liu Yifei and Zhou followed. Xun suddenly looked embarrassed.
The men burst into laughter.
On the same day, Kore-eda Hirokazu's erotic film "Inflatable Doll" was also released. In order to cooperate with the film's promotion, the distribution company specially produced two inflatable mouths.
When Guan Ling participated in the premiere of this film, he was fortunate enough to see the fourth classic clip at this year's Cannes.
Kore-eda Hirokazu directly picked up the inflatable nozzle and started blowing.
The moment and "pubic hair theory" formed the best today.
The entire Cannes Film Festival is full of joyful atmosphere.
