On May 14th, the Cannes International Film Festival officially opened, and people from all walks of life in the film industry came to the stage.

For example, Nicole Kidman, the real-life daughter-in-law of "Deadpool", Gong Li and other foreign artists.

"Return" starring the latter was not shortlisted for the main competition, but it will be screened in the screening section. It can be regarded as... a work, right?

The newcomer in this movie, Zhang Huiwen, also came, but the director, Mr. Lao, didn't come. I don't know whether it was because he was busy with work or because he felt that he was not shortlisted for the main competition. The national teacher also has a "temper".

Followed by Zhang Ziyi, who seems to have come to the platform to help sell the upper part of "Taiping Wheel"?

And Yang Lan, right, that host Yang Lan, I wonder why she showed up at Cannes?

There is also Jia Zhangke, who is one of the judges at this Cannes Film Festival.

What’s more, Fatty Yu Dong and Yu came with his wife Jin Qiao Qiao, who has the “Magic Needle to Fix the Blanket”. It was “hard work” to fix the red carpet for more than ten minutes.

On the contrary, no one from the cast and crew of "Hua Nian" who was shortlisted for the main competition unit was present. The main reason was that the premiere was on the seventh day and there was also work to be busy. As for director Lin Shi, he was preparing for "Edge of Tomorrow"

This science fiction work.

Even if you don't completely miss the time, there are still a few days until the premiere, so there's no need to be in a hurry.

All in all, although it seems that only "The Years" was shortlisted in China, there were really a lot of people coming and it was lively.

In this way, as time goes by, artists, stars, and actors from all over the world appear at the film festival one after another every day.

"Deadpool" himself is also here, is he afraid that the beautiful woman will be lost, uh...

Jiang Wen is here, Cate Blanchett is here, Hilton is here, the one who owns the Hilton Hotel at home, Bieber is here, the singing Justin Bieber, the "one who plays the bald professor" in the new "X-Men"

"Beauty" is here, Wu Yusheng is here, and he also brings a group of main creators from the "Peace Wheel" crew, such as Jin Chengwu, Huang Xiaoming, Song Hye Kyo and others, and it is full of excitement.

Of course, the crew of "Hua Nian" were also indispensable. Jiang Xiao himself still couldn't come and couldn't adjust the time, so it was Lin Shi, Zhou Xun, Gu Linaza, Liu Haoran and others.

On the 21st, around 1 p.m., the main creators of "Hua Nian" attended a regular press conference to "talk" about the movie.

Perhaps because Jiang Xiao was famous, he was the one who received the most direct questions even though he was not present.

Like asking the main creator how it was to work with him? No one came? He still stole the limelight. This is probably because of his great reputation.

We continued to wait until 2:30, and the red carpet ceremony of the premiere of "The Year" also kicked off. There were many people who came to help walk the red carpet. Basically, most of the Chinese and mainland artists who were still in Cannes were present.

Unless you have a problem with him, eh? It seems like there is no such person.

At least it has an advantage in terms of numbers, although it’s also strange why Zhang Liangyin, Li Yuchun and others also attended this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

After the red carpet? The premiere of the movie begins? It can be said that "The Years" surprised the audience right from the beginning? Because the scenes are so beautifully shot? There are no "backward" scenes that are easy to win awards? Those who didn't pay attention thought it was a tourist scenery.

The film? The color tone is also very interesting.

Regardless of this point, the story of "Nianhua" is actually very simple. The girl played by Nazha died as soon as she appeared, and then through the perspective of the policeman played by Jiang Xiao, in the process of pursuing the truth behind the case? The people and things encountered?

And finally showed the reason why a young girl died? And who is the murderer?

The story is actually very simple, with some suspense, but it does not overwhelm the audience, and it is not boring or incomprehensible as so-called art films.

It seems plain, but the details in the portrayal really highlight the level of "Hua Nian", which is inexplicably attractive, especially the beautiful pictures that sometimes produce a strong sense of contrast. At that moment, it seems to make every viewer feel goosebumps.

Like a pimple.

The core of "The Years" is actually growth and education. It does not express disappointment or criticism in a certain aspect like an angry youth. It is more like God's vision recording the growth of a girl.

At the end, there is a big twist, that is, the "murderer" that the audience has always wanted to know about when watching the movie is actually the girl herself. She committed suicide, and it was a suicide that did not look like suicide.

"There should be a reason for things, maybe there is no reason!"

This is the last line of the whole movie. Jiang Xiao, who was wearing a police uniform, muttered to himself in front of the girl's tombstone on a beautiful mountainside, left a bouquet of flowers, and turned around in his police hat.

As he left, the camera kept looking at his back until he was gradually out of sight, and then the scrolling subtitles popped up.

Then, as if they were too immersed in it, after the lights were turned on, the audience fell silent for a moment before they all stood up and gave the most enthusiastic applause, which lasted for several minutes.

Lin Shi also brought Zhou Xun and other creative staff on stage to pay tribute.

Everyone was a little excited. After all, judging from the reaction at the scene, "Nian Hua" has obviously conquered the audience.

As a director, Lin Shi's mood was particularly different. Over the years, thanks to the care of Jiang Xiao, an alumnus and friend, he had been given opportunities one after another to become the most watched young director in the country, gaining both fame and money.

but……

How to say?

Looking at the works he has directed, the story ideas and scripts basically come from Jiang Xiao. As a director, he is more like an executor, executing according to the former's will.

I just feel like it's not impossible to replace him with a director of good quality.

Even Lin Shi, who has worked in Hollywood with Lemon's long-standing production model, can clearly feel that there are some similarities, and Jiang Xiao is the core producer.

Even if it's not absolute, Jiang Xiao has always respected his feelings as a director and given him full authority as a director. He is also very grateful, but sometimes it is inevitable that he will not have the idea of ​​​​making a movie that is truly his own.

Maybe people are like this. After achieving some achievements, they will have so-called personal pursuits?

In short, the movie "The Years" finally realized his idea, so Lin Shi's mood will indeed be different.

At the same time, he was once again grateful to Jiang Xiao for supporting his ideas. It was enough to have such a friend in his career.

The next day, the ratings for the program of "Nian Hua" came out. Somewhat unexpectedly, but not that unexpectedly, it got the highest score. The media and the audience interviewed also unanimously gave high praise.

However, if it is a hit... not to mention that it will die, but in this film festival, there are countless works that have been rejected due to "hotness".

Still have to wait patiently for the results to be announced at the last minute.

The main creative staff didn't have time to think too much, because there were many media, including foreign media, who wanted to interview the "Nian Hua" crew.

Even Jiang Xiao, who was filming "Jurassic World" in Hawaii, also accepted a phone interview from Zha Lang.

Although he himself did not go to Cannes, there was a girl named Nazha who kept informing him, and she basically let him know all the situations that "Chinese Years" encountered in Cannes at the same time.

He even knows those stars who have walked on the red carpet. Li Yuchun, Zhang Liangyin and so on, the "Big Three" of Super Girl are only one week away from being able to gather in Cannes.

In addition to paying attention to the situation of "Hua Nian" in Cannes, Jiang Xiao currently encountered a "trouble". He came to Honolulu International Airport and saw a man who was not very tall and was pulling a medium-sized luggage.

The girl in the box pretended to be "poor" to him.

"Don't pretend, I said, it's really a big surprise!"

Without much hesitation, Jiang Xiao said a word, then reached out and grabbed the girl's face. There was no reason, he just wanted to.

Immediately, he continued to add: "You all like to carry out surprise attacks so quietly?"

"Hey, boss brother, who has ever attacked you so suddenly?"

Song Zuer, who had her face pulled, was not only not unhappy, but actually very happy. She naturally didn't have anything special about her, but felt that the act of having her face pulled was more like a manifestation of "intimacy".

She, who was still a little worried about the man's attitude, suddenly relaxed and had more time to follow the words and ask questions.

"I'm just using a metaphor, okay? Really, I'm too lazy to tell you, go ahead and take your luggage by yourself. You've grown up and you have to learn to rely on yourself."

Jiang Xiao is not a person who gets angry when things happen. No matter what happened to Song Zuer, now that he is here, he can only let nature take its course.

This girl suddenly called and said she was coming to Hawaii and asked him to pick up the call. There was no warning.

"You're not a gentleman at all. How did you deceive Yang Mi and Yang Ying at the same time? Well, considering Jiang Xiao's situation, it's still a lie. There are teams of women who are cheating. She even has ideas... Come on.

, are you here to post it, ugh, so shy!”

Seeing that Jiang Xiao was leaving just as he said, and not helping him with his suitcase, Song Zuer muttered in his heart, but suddenly thought of something, and his whole face turned red.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao was walking in front and hadn't noticed anything unusual about her yet.

The environment in which he grew up made Song Zuer far more mature than his peers. It doesn't matter whether he is right or wrong, just like him, so why bother too much.

Of course, when she really saw that Jiang Xiao was "not a good person" as she said, she slowly began to have some thoughts that she had not had before. Otherwise, she would be borrowing money and being rebellious.

Even if she does want to be rebellious sometimes when she is in a bad mood, she is still sensible and does not become casual just because she really wants to be rebellious.

Unless it's someone worthy of making her "foolish", like a man like Jiang Xiao.

"oops!"

Song Zuer, who was full of emotions, suddenly felt that he bumped into someone at a certain moment, and subconsciously exclaimed.

When she concentrated her attention, she realized that it was Jiang Xiao, who turned to look at her at the same time and said, "Hey, can you just walk properly?"

"Oh, got it!"
Chapter completed!
