Chapter 108 Attract attention
France, Cannes
Cannes Film Festival Opening Ceremony
Lu Chen led the main creative team of "A Family of Thieves", stepping on the red carpet on the ground, and walked forward.

This is also the famous red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

In the previous life, many mainland stars walked the red carpet, each with weirder clothes and more exaggerated styles.

Lu Chen and the main creative team of "A Family of Thieves" have a very unified look.

Before, Versace clothing company wanted to make suits for Lu Chen to attend the Cannes Film Festival, and wanted to ask Lu Chen to be the global spokesperson, but Lu Chen refused.

To maintain uniform clothing.

Men's uniform stand collar Chinese tunic suit.

Women's uniform cheongsam.

When one person wears it like this, it's really not enough to attract attention.

When a group of people dress like this.

It's quite eye-catching.

The reporters on the two rows of the red carpet kept pressing the shutter.

The red carpet that Lu Chen is currently walking belongs to the opening ceremony of the film festival.

Like the previous life, stars who want to hit the red carpet have no chance to show up at the opening ceremony of the film festival. They must be members of the film crew nominated by the Cannes Film Festival.

The stars who rubbed the red carpet in the previous life belonged to the red carpet of various dinners at the Cannes Film Festival.

Some are spokespersons for Cannes sponsors, showing sponsor products on the red carpet.

Of course, this one is okay, it belongs to the guests invited by the sponsors of the Cannes Film Festival.

Some of them are neither members of the nominated film crew nor spokespersons invited by the sponsors of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Director Lu Chen!" The Cannes staff signaled Lu Chen to stop, don't walk so fast, so that the reporters can take pictures, and walk slowly on the red carpet, don't walk like a normal walk, or you will walk out of the reporter's room in less than 2 minutes shooting area.

The youngest winner of the Golden Bear in history.

The film shot this year was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival.

The number one director in Hong Kong box office history.

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly", which is currently being filmed, has made bold claims that it will break the record of "Titanic" in mainland China.

In the movie "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Gong Li are frequent guests of the International Film Festival.

There is also Zhang Manyu, whose "Clean" was also shortlisted for this year's Cannes.

Let foreign countries pay attention to this movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

It also allowed Lu Chen to attract the attention of many European and American media.

"Yifei!" Lu Chen greeted Liu Yifei to come to his side, and let the reporters take pictures together, which also pushed Liu Yifei to the world. She will star in the movie "Inception" as the female lead.

She needs to be known internationally.

Liu Yifei is wearing a cheongsam at this time, with a walking posture, like a talented woman from the Republic of China period.

before coming.

Teacher Fang, the cheongsam maker, taught them how to walk to better show the beauty of cheongsam.

Liu Yifei came to Lu Chen's side, linked hands, and smiled, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, facing the flashing camera fill light, her eyes did not dodge, she was very general, like an international movie star.

"Director Lu!" The Cannes staff asked Lu Chen to face the other side, so that all reporters at the scene could take a frontal photo of Director Lu Chen.

This Chinese director.

Fame has been on par with director Zhang Yingmou.

There are even beyond.

Achievements are indeed unmatched in China.

The most important thing is to be young.

Only in my 20s.

The future is boundless.

No one can predict what kind of achievements this young director will achieve in the future.

Europe and the United States like to worship the strong most.

And Lu Chen is a well-deserved powerhouse in the director world.

received great attention.

After Lu Chen and Liu Yifei asked the reporters to take pictures, they came to the inner hall.

The main creative team of "The Thieves" is here.

Come and surround Lu Chen.

They all expressed their gratitude to Lu Chen.

The main creators of "The Thief Family" are Fan Wei, Li Qiming, Zhou Xun, Li Xiaoran, Li Yishan, Guan Xiaotong and others.

It is the first time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.

This is also the highlight of their acting career.

Especially the young actors Li Yishan and Guan Xiaotong, who starred in "The Thief Family", for their acting career, it belongs to Tianhu Tianju.

Their parents also came and asked their sons and daughters to remember Director Lu's appreciation. If they can always be appreciated by Director Lu, they will definitely become international movie stars in the future.

And all the actors in "The Thieves" knew that it was Director Lu who brought them to such a high level. Without Director Lu, they would not have had the opportunity to participate in the Cannes Film Festival.

"Director Lu!" At this time, Wang Jiawei, who was wearing sunglasses, came over and held out his hand, "I've always heard about Director Lu's name, and I wanted to meet you at the "Wu Shuang" celebration banquet, but I don't think Director Lu will not participate in the celebration banquet. I finally saw you, Director Lu, in Cannes."

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to hold it, "Director Wang, I am serious. I am a junior, and I still have a lot to learn from my seniors."

Wang Jiawei is a director with real skills.

But Lu Chen didn't like such a director.

Of course I don't hate Wang Jiawei.

As a director, I admire Wang Jiawei very much.

But Lu Chen has another layer of identity, film capital.

as an investor.

I don't like Wang Jiawei's style of filmmaking.

Wang Jiawei's films are notoriously difficult to start, slow to shoot, and full of problems. If he is asked to make a film, it may not be produced in a year, and the investment time is too long.

Some investors with insufficient funds had to be dragged to death by Wang Jiawei.

Of course, even if Wang Jiawei is like this.

There is never a shortage of investment.

The main reason is that Wang Jiawei is really capable, especially the ability to win awards. In Xiangjiang, there are really few directors who can compare to Wang Jiawei.

"Director Lu, now your "Wu Shuang" has become the highest-grossing Hong Kong film in history, which is better than me." Wang Jiawei is not a compliment, Wang Jiawei has seen "Wu Shuang".

I can't believe it, it's been over a month, including post-production time to make the movie.

If you come to shoot yourself.

Must not start a year.

It took three months to shoot the gun battle scenes alone.

I really don't know how Director Lu completed it in such a short time and still maintained his standard.

If "Wu Shuang" is not up to standard, it will not become the number one box office in Hong Kong film history.

Of course, these are not what Wang Jiawei admires.

It was the award that Lu Chen had won.

The youngest winner of the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear Award in history, "A Family of Thieves" directed by him has been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival and has been shortlisted for the three major film festivals for two consecutive years. This is unprecedented and unprecedented.

"Director Lu!" Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi beside Wang Jiawei also greeted each other.

They are all the main actors in the film "2046" directed by Wang Jiawei.

The movie "2046" was also shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.

Lu Chen smiled and indicated that they were all old acquaintances.

"Director Lu!" The other actors of the movie "2046" also greeted Lu Chen.

Liang Chaowei, Wang Fei, Liu Jialing and other well-known actors.

The main creative team of the movie "2046" and the main creative team of the movie "A Family of Thieves" also began to chat. They are all Chinese. It is also a kind of fate to meet at the Cannes Film Festival.

This also made the main creative team of "The Thief Family" very excited.

The movie "2046" is full of well-known movie stars, unlike the actors who starred in "Shoulders", some are new actors, and some have acting skills, but their popularity is not comparable.

"Director Lu, Director Wang." Zhang Manyu also came over at this time, and Zhang Manyu was a special star in the movie "2046".

But participating in the Cannes Film Festival is as a member of the film "Cleaning". After all, Zhang Manyu is the leading actress in the movie "Cleaning", and she has great hopes of winning the Cannes Best Actress Award.

Zhang Manyu, Lu Chen and Wang Jiawei are two directors who are very familiar with each other and have worked together, especially Wang Jiawei. Zhang Manyu got rid of the title of vase and starred in Wang Jiawei's first director "Carmen in Mong Kok".

I have worked with Lu Chen on "Let the Bullets Fly", and I admire Lu Chen's ability to direct the film. "Let the Bullets Fly", so many movie stars can shock the scene and convince all the movie stars. His directing ability is second to none in the director circle. Absolutely top notch.

"It's very lively." At this moment, Xiangjiang director Xu Ke came over with a smile on his face.

Cannes Film Festival this year.

The Chinese achieved pretty good results.

Two films, "The Thieves" and "2046", were shortlisted, and Zhang Manyu was also the number one female in the French film "Clean".

And just now the main creative team of "The Thieves" all showed up at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival in Chinese tunic suits and cheongsams, which really amazed the reporters and appreciated Lu Chen's love for the motherland.

So I came here specially to meet Lu Chen and get to know each other. I really want to make friends with this young director and exchange experience in directing.

So young, getting results.

Few directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait can compare.

The directing style is ever-changing.

Being able to achieve excellent results both in Xiangjiang and in the Mainland is definitely something extraordinary.

"Director Xu." Lu Chen greeted.

Director Xu Ke is one of the judges at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The chairman of the jury is the internationally renowned director Quentin who directed "Pulp Fiction".

For director Xu Ke, Lu Chen still likes it very much.

Xu Ke is nicknamed Old Monster Xu.

There is an extreme desire to control the work.

In 1990, Xiangjiang talent Huang Zhan composed the music for "Swordsman", and submitted six drafts, all of which were returned by Tsui Hark.

Huang Zhan was mad, and got inspiration from the four characters "Da Le Bi Yi" in the ancient book "Le Zhi", and reversed the pentatonic scale "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu" into "Yu, Zheng, Jiao, Shang ,palace'.

It eventually became the famous song "A Laugh from the Sea".

From then on, Huang Zhan gave Xu Ke the nickname Xu Old Monster.

"Director Lu, you are a celebrity in Hong Kong this year." Xu Ke really didn't expect that the top-grossing Hong Kong movie was directed by a mainland director.

Still over a month out.

This achievement.

It has made many Xiangjiang directors feel ashamed.

However, director Xu Ke is a blessing. Seeing the decline of the Xiangjiang film market, his heart hurts. The Xiangjiang movies were so beautiful back then, classic films followed one after another.

In Xiangjiang in the 21st century, many film practitioners have not turned on their phones for a year, and they will hardly be able to eat. Xiangjiang really needs a few films with excellent performance to stimulate the market.

Lu Chen was in Cannes and met so many Chinese people, he was in a good mood, "It is also a kind of fate that everyone gathers in Cannes. After today's opening movie is over, I will sit east in the evening. Please have a good taste of Cannes's specialties."

This year's Cannes opening film is the Spanish film "Bad Education".

"Director Lu, then we will not be polite." The others agreed with a smile.

……

Cannes, western restaurant
"Director Lu!" Li Xiaoran was sitting next to Lu Chen. Li Xiaoran was still very willing and never had a chance. He thanked Director Lu for his cultivation, and this opportunity came without thanks.

Zhang Jingchu originally thought this was his seat, but although he was unhappy with Director Lu's arrangement, he dared not have any objections.

"Director Wang, Director Xu, Teacher Gong Li, Teacher Zhang Manyu...It is a fate to meet in Cannes for a while, and we all have a toast to this." Lu Chen raised his glass.

After Li Xiaoran finished drinking, he quickly helped Lu Chen pour the wine, and sat beside Lu Chen, not only sitting beside him, but also having eyesight.

And being able to sit next to Director Lu is a kind of recognition from Director Lu for himself.

You can also show your face in front of well-known Hong Kong directors Xu Ke and Wang Jiawei, and let Gong Li and other well-known movie stars know that there is such a number one actress as yourself.

"Cheers, I hope this year's Palme d'Or belongs to us Chinese. Since then, there will be two Chinese-language films winning the Palme d'Or in Cannes." With so many Chinese coming to the Cannes Film Festival this year, Xu Ke is also in a good mood.

Everyone raises the glass, and the first glass must be drank in one gulp.
