Chapter 534 Shu, you are so amazing
The two arrived at the dance and immediately became the focus of the scene.
Wang Shunai is the youngest Oscar-winning director in history. Although he did not participate in the competition for this Cannes Film Festival, as long as he comes here, he is destined to be one of the handsome boys.
Monica held Wang Shu's arm and felt a little proud in her heart when she saw everyone at the ball looking at her and Wang Shu.
Her dance partner is Wang Shu.
Normally, she wouldn't be like this, but it was different today.
Today, Sophie Marceau will also be here, and there will also be a dance partner attending with her.
In this way, there is comparison.
That's why Monica invited Wang Shu to be her dance partner.
In her opinion, no matter who Sophie Marceau's dance partner is, as long as her dance partner is Wang Shu, there must be something to say.
As an "Italian national treasure", even if her dance partner is not Wang Shu, as long as she appears, she will be the center of attention.
It’s just that this time Wang Shu is needed because of Sophie Marceau.
"Shu, I'm glad you can come."
Wang Shu and Monica arrived at the dance, and Conchita Aroldi, the producer of "Don't Look Back" and Director Marina de Van both walked over with a smile on her face.
"Hello." Wang Shu responded politely.
He didn't recognize the two people in front of him, and it was only after Monica introduced them that he suddenly realized.
Conchita Aroldi is a producer. He is very interested in Wang Shu. He is always looking for topics to talk to Wang Shu, which makes Wang Shu a little tired.
Both he and Marina de Fanju knew that Wang Shu had received many invitations since he came to Cannes, but he did not go.
This time, he agreed to Monica’s invitation to come with her.
Therefore, the two of them could not help but glance at Monica from time to time.
Previously, I thought that Monica and Wang Shu had only collaborated, and although they had a friendship, it was not deep.
Now it seems that through the cooperation of "The Tuner", the two have obviously become good friends.
The two chatted with Wang Shu for a while, and left one after another because they had other entertainment.
Monica looked at Conchita Aroldi's leaving back, looked back at Wang Shu, and said with a smile: "Shu, Conchita should want to cooperate with you."< br>
Wang Shu shrugged and said, "There are so many producers who want to cooperate with me."
Hollywood producers are only interested in profit.
Although Wang Shu has not directed many films in Hollywood, his box office results are obvious to all.
Directors who can achieve box office success are the most popular in Hollywood.
"Haha." Monica also knew this and praised sincerely, "Shu, you are so awesome."
After speaking, she added, "This time, "Young Master Is "Life of Life" also expected to win an Oscar? ”
Wang Shu said with a smile: "Whether I can win the award depends on whether the people in the academy give me a chance."
"However, I personally am confident."
If it were different. Domestically, when faced with these questions, Wang Shu would only give tactful answers and would not give clear information at all.
Europe and the United States are different, sleek style is not good, confident style is the answer.
For example, Anne Hathaway went on a TV show and dedicated a whole rap to criticize the haters who had criticized her. Not only did she feel happy, but she also received praise.
If it were in China, as long as an artist dared to do this, the rhythm would definitely skyrocket, and in serious cases, it would even be cool.
The cultures on both sides are different, so Wang Shu changed his style every time he went abroad.
Monica’s eyes brightened when she heard Wang Shu’s blunt statement that he was confident of winning the award.
The two were chatting, and after a while, Sophie Marceau came to the scene.
She was wearing an off-white dress, also in a deep V style.
But under the deep V, it’s ordinary.
A man who came with her was unknown to Wang Shu.
Monica guessed that Wang Shu most likely did not recognize him, and then whispered in his ear: "The man next to Sophie is a famous French producer."
" A famous French producer?" Wang Shu answered softly.
"Yeah." Monica responded.
"Are you also a Hollywood producer?" Wang Shu asked.
"No." Monica said.
Hearing this, Wang Shu understood.
This person is most likely famous in France and Europe, but he is not powerful enough to join Hollywood.
So.
Wang Shu's eyes fell on Monica's face, and when he saw a faint smile on her face, he was even more sure of his inner thoughts.
If the opponent's cards were high, Monica would most likely not be so soft-spoken.
Obviously, although the other party has a reputation in France, it is not worth mentioning in Hollywood.
At this moment, Sophie Marceau also noticed Monica and Wang Shu.
I was really surprised to see Wang Shu come here.
She had no idea that Wang Shu would be Monica's dance partner at this dance.
Although she had met Monica and Wang Shu in the restaurant last night, this dance was held by the crew of "Don't Look Back".
Under normal circumstances, Wang Shu would never agree to come.
Only if Monica and Wang Shu have a very close friendship can the invitation be made.
Now it seems that Monica and Wang Shu do have a very close friendship.
This discovery made Sophie Marceau feel a sense of crisis.
In Europe, she has been compared with Monica Bellucci.
Previously, Monica starred in "The Tuner", which not only became a hit, but also won many awards.
Wang Shu is not the producer or investor of the Hollywood version of "The Tuner".
Although this film did not win an Oscar, the producer signed up for other film awards and won many honors.
In the future, if Monica continues to cooperate with Wang Shu, it is not impossible to win more valuable awards, and even an Oscar statuette is not impossible.
As long as Monica has excellent film honors, she can be compared.
Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau felt very unhappy.
On the current occasion, she controlled her facial expression and did not show it.
As the dance progressed, many people at the scene were strolling and dancing.
Monica went to the bathroom, while Wang Shu sat and waited alone.
Sophie Marceau noticed this, walked up to him, and invited with a smile: "Shu, can we dance together?"
Wang Shu saw it Sophie Marceau's dance partner was not around, and she still took the initiative to invite her, and then responded with a smile: "Of course."
When Sophie Marceau heard Wang Shu's promise, a bright smile appeared on her face smile.
The two came to the dance floor. Wang Shu put his arms around Sophie Marceau's waist and danced in a strolling manner like everyone else.
"Shu, nice to meet you." Sophie Marceau said with a slight smile while dancing leisurely. "I'm very happy too." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
“Are you coming to Cannes this time to promote a movie?” Sophie Marceau asked with a smile.
This is nonsense. Everyone knows that Wang Shu’s trip to Cannes is to promote "Life of Pi". It’s just that the two of them are not familiar with each other, so Sophie Marceau asked these things that everyone knows nonsense.
“Yes, the organizer invited me several times and I came over.” Wang Shu said with a smile.
With these words at the beginning, the two started chatting.
After a while, Monica came back from the bathroom. She didn’t see Wang Shu in the distance. She walked over quickly and glanced around. She saw Wang Shu and Sophie Marceau in the room. Dancing on the dance floor, my mood suddenly stopped being wonderful.
Wang Shu is the dance partner she invited.
Sophie Marceau, what does this mean?
Steal her dance partner in front of her?
At this time, the dance ended, Wang Shu saw Monica coming back, and then said to Sophie Marceau: "We will meet again if we have the opportunity."
Sophie Marceau also saw Monica Ka, nodded with a smile.
Wang Shu returned to Monica, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Shu, why are you dancing with Sophie?"
Wang Shu heard this and explained with a smile: "You just went In the bathroom, she came over and invited me, and then we danced together."
Monica complained fiercely in her heart.
Unexpectedly, she just went to the bathroom, and Sophie Marceau found every opportunity.
She is also a senior actor. Even if she feels uncomfortable, she will not show it. Then she reaches out and asks with a smile: "Us?"
Wang Shu is noncommittal and takes Monica's hand. Walking to the dance floor, then holding Monica's waist, dancing slowly.
Forefoot had just danced with Sophie Marceau, and Wang Shu could clearly tell the difference between the two.
Sophie Marceau has a slim figure and obvious skinny bones.
Monica is plumper and softer.
On the other side, someone invited Sophie Marceau to dance, but Sophie Marceau declined.
This scene happened to be seen by many people, and they couldn't help but glance sideways at Wang Shu on the dance floor.
Sophie Marceau is the "French Rose" and Monica Bellucci is the "Italian National Treasure". They are indeed the most watched women at this ball.
Many people wanted to dance with him, but they were all rejected.
On the other hand, Wang Shu, who had nothing to do with this dance, danced with Sophie Marceau, and then walked on the dance floor with Monica Bellucci.
This difference is very different. It makes people jealous and unhappy.
“Who made me the youngest Oscar-winning director in history.”
Although I was unhappy, there was nothing I could do about it.
Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci are both actors, and Wang Shunai is the youngest director in history to win an Oscar.
It is normal for actresses to prefer such great directors.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame yourself for not being so awesome.
Wang Shu did not stay long at the dance and left early.
Monica was one of the heroines of the crew and could not leave early, so she continued to stay at the dance.
Wang Shu, who left the dance party, did not continue to wander outside. He returned to the hotel and took a shower and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next day, I ended my trip to Cannes and returned to China to continue filming "Life of Pi."
He returned to China, and Zhang Ziyi came to Cannes.
Zhang Ziyi heard that Wang Shu was in Cannes. She originally wanted to talk to Wang Shu in person about the co-production, but she didn't expect to miss it, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
On May 25, the Cannes International Film Festival held an awards ceremony.
"The White Ribbon" directed by Austrian director Michael Haneke won the Palme d'Or, and Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won the Best Actor Award for "Inglourious Basterds".
Li Yu, Du Qifeng, Tsai Ming-liang, and Lou Ye won the Best Screenplay Award for "Spring Breeze Night" directed by Lou Ye.
Other than that, there is no harvest.
This year’s Cannes International Film Festival is another year in which Chinese-language films failed to win awards.
Of course, "Making Woodstock" directed by Li Eucalyptus is a Hollywood film, and it is also a gay film.
Perhaps taking advantage of the Oscar-winning gay film "Brokeback Mountain", this guy is making this type of film again.
But this time, he failed to win the prize.
As for Lou Ye's "The Night with the Spring Breeze", it stars Chen Sicheng and Qin Hao.
Director Chen Sicheng will be the ex-husband of the big boss’s cousin in the future.
In this movie, in addition to Chen Sicheng and Qin Hao, Zhang Songwen also plays a supporting role.
Zhang Songwen left Beijing Film Academy last year and established Zhang Songwen International Performance Studio to start his acting career.
Although he is an acting teacher at the film school, the acting at the film school is not on the same level as the drama school, and his current acting skills are just like that.
If we talk about the skills and methods of professional performance, for example, Yang Mi will cry when she is sad, hahaha when she is happy, and various theoretical knowledge, he is quite knowledgeable.
For example, Huang Lei is also a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy. His theoretical knowledge and professional performance are casual, but to say that his acting skills are superb is nonsense.
Zhang Songwen's acting skills at the moment are actually very average, otherwise he would not have debuted. He has acted in many works for many years without much improvement. It was not until the drama "Hurious" that he became a big hit.
And "Crazy" is a TV series, not a movie.
No matter how good an actor's acting skills are in TV series, he can still perform well in movies.
Again, due to the length of the movie, the actors' emotional changes and rhythmic performance are completely different from those of the TV series.
It is difficult for TV drama actors to transform into movie actors. The stumbling block lies in the fact that TV drama actors usually do not perform well in movies due to their acting style.
In the entire entertainment industry, too many TV drama actors have failed in their transformation, and many of them are due to poor acting in movies.
Among them, there are many powerful actors who have won awards in the field of TV dramas, but still cannot act well in movies.
It is even said that it is precisely because he is an award-winning actor in the field of TV dramas that it is difficult for him to act well in movies.
Because these actors have usually integrated the performance methods of TV dramas into their bodies, they are not only comfortable in TV dramas, but can also win awards.
The performance method of the TV series can be deeply embedded in the body, which means that it is difficult to change this performance method.
If you can’t change this way of acting, you won’t be able to make a good movie.
In the entertainment industry, many powerful TV drama actors are like this.
Therefore, just because Zhang Songwen's acting skills in the drama "Hurry Up" were praised does not mean that he can act well in movies.
Not to mention, he is nothing now.
Wang Shu returned to China and immediately got into work mode.
"Life of Pi" is a 3D movie with a lot of green screen shooting.
In this era, there are relatively few domestic films shot with green screens, and many directors do not always shoot films with green screens.
But for Wang Shu, it was a piece of cake.
Because, in the previous life, green screen shooting was no longer popular.
Many crews shoot film and television works in this way in order to save money.
Wang Shu is very familiar with this.
