Chapter 1052: Encirclement of the Spring Festival Period! The "Monsters" On the Red Carpet!

After a night, the time came to the 17th.

Looking around, the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the Cannes International Film Festival is even more intense!

The entire hotel where Chen Fei is staying has been booked by the film festival organizers to accommodate the invited crew and guests.

As a result, since early in the morning, there have been constant noises in the corridor, making it impossible for people to sleep peacefully.

Most of these noisy people are members of the makeup team of many actresses and female guests.

It’s not like an actor, who only needs a suit to get it done.

In order to make a stunning appearance on the red carpet, some actresses can even skip meals for a week and only drink nutritional solutions to maintain their body shape!

This situation is not common in China, but abroad, especially during the Oscars, almost all actresses will do this.

Their purpose is very simple, just to be able to wear those narrow paper-like dresses, and also to be more beautiful in the media cameras.

Fortunately, Liu Yifei does not have this habit.

Otherwise, Chen Fei will definitely correct her by force!

However, what makes him a little helpless is that although Miss Liu does not have much requirements for body shape, she has her own "unique" style in terms of matching clothes.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, when she appeared in the room wearing a green upper body and red lower body Shoudao-style dress, Chen Fei's eyelids jumped wildly!

"This...is this the dress your team arranged for you?"

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Yifei nodded now, Chen Fei would fire her makeup team on the spot.

What the hell is red and green?

No matter how good-looking you are, that’s not how you play!

If this were worn out, wouldn't it make people laugh again?

But the next second, Liu Yifei told the truth: "No, I matched this for myself. How about it? Doesn't it look good?"

"..."

This sentence directly silenced Chen Fei.

He actually wanted to nod and praise, but the key problem was that the color was too exaggerated and outrageous! He really couldn't say anything to praise him, it was so against his will!

"Doesn't it look good?"

Miss Liu blinked her cute eyes and fixed her eyes on her boyfriend.

She couldn't wait for the compliment, and she already had a premonition that something was not right.

"Do you have a white skirt? How about changing into a white one? I will walk with you on the red carpet today. A black suit with a white skirt will be more distinctive."

"Yes, I'll change it right away."

Seeing her leave, Chen Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl is good at everything, but her vision is really bad, especially when it comes to choosing clothes, she has no talent at all!

"Dingle bell!"

Suddenly, the phone rang rapidly.

Chen Fei took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID, then pressed the connect button: "Hello?"

"The post-production of "Wushuang" has been completed and is ready to be submitted for review. Now we need a suitable release time. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?"

Listening to Huo Qigang's voice on the phone, Chen Fei took a deep breath and said slowly: "Go to the Spring Festival stall!"

"Sniping "Monster Hunt 2"?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Haha, okay, I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."

Both of them are very enthusiastic about this kind of behavior that hinders their competitors.

It is precisely because of this that when Chen Fei said the words "Go to the Spring Festival stalls", Huo Qigang immediately reacted and wanted to "snipe" "Monster Hunt 2".

Perhaps because it has won over many partners, Anle Pictures has become more arrogant and provocative in recent months.

Obviously, this is the reason why he is still not convinced after being "beaten" last time.

So this time, let him taste the real whip dipped in chili pepper water!

That is because Anle Pictures is a listed company, otherwise they would never survive today!

After ending the call, Chen Fei did not put the phone in his pocket, but dialed Su Guohai's number again and asked about the post-production progress of "囧" and "White Snake: Origin".

Since we have decided to encircle and suppress him, this time, we naturally have to slash him with a knife across seven inches!

…

Time soon came to afternoon.

After several hours of makeup, Liu Yifei finally completed her "big change."

Wearing a white gauze dress, she looks like a pure fairy walking out of a fairy tale, with an elegant and agile posture.

When the lotus steps move lightly, the hem of the skirt sways gently, like a lily blooming in the morning mist, fresh and refined, unstained by dust; every gesture is noble and gentle, as if every step is stepping on the clouds, light and dreamy.

The white dress set off her snow-like skin, adding an ethereal and fairy aura that made people fall in love with her, as if the whole world had become softer and more beautiful because of her presence.

"Not bad! Very good! I like this dress."

Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction, very pleased.

This was much better than the red and green ones. Just thinking about the dress in the morning, he couldn't help but feel helpless.

"Doesn't it look good?"

Liu Yifei held up the hem of her skirt and gently spun it around in front of him.

The light fragrance hits your face, and when combined with that flawless cheek, you feel like a flower fairy walking out of flowers, graceful and pure.

Chen Fei nodded and praised without hesitation: "It's like a fairy descending to earth."

"Hehe~"

Miss Liu's face suddenly blossomed with a brighter smile.

However, at this time, Han Jianu, who was standing on the side and wearing a white suit, made a very exaggerated expression as if she was about to vomit:

"You two are really disgusting. Can you restrain yourself a little? I'm about to vomit my breakfast."

Chen Fei laughed: "Single dog."

Han Jianu: "???"

Faced with this extremely lethal personal attack, the little "mountain eagle" couldn't think of a suitable defense and counterattack move, and was stunned on the spot.

...

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone took the car arranged by the organizer and came to the red carpet waiting area.

"Heavyweights" are the last to appear, and this "tradition" is the same no matter where they are.

Therefore, a group of people waited for more than an hour!

However, the waiting period was not boring.

You know, this is the opening ceremony red carpet of the Cannes International Film Festival, and the most abundant thing is all kinds of fun.

The red carpet in Cannes is actually only 60 meters, and it can be walked in 30 seconds at a normal pace.

If you stay on the red carpet for more than 5 minutes, the security guards will come up and start to drive you away without any hesitation.

So, those "carpet stars" who paid for tickets stuck to the 5-minute time node one by one, competing with each other on the red carpet, and making all kinds of strange appearances.

"Look! The woman over there is not even wearing underwear. Wow, she dares to wear such a transparent dress? Isn't she exposed?"

"Hiss! The woman seems to have sprained her ankle and started crying."

"Fuck?! Wow! The dress was trampled! She's exposed!"

"Oh my god? How can all kinds of monsters go up there? Wearing a plastic bag and walking on the red carpet?"

"Uh... If I haven't seen it, it should be a man, right? What the hell is he wearing a woman's dress? This is too eye-catching, isn't it?"

Han Jianu was still interested in watching all kinds of interesting and fun events at first, but in the end, she was almost confused.

There are normal people, such as the invited guests and the crew members who are shortlisted for various modules. These are all normal people.

But apart from these people, the carpet stars who obviously paid for tickets are outrageous.

Looking around, one by one, they are so eye-catching, making it like a gathering of demons and monsters!

"Don't be surprised." Chen Fei smiled and patted her shoulder, reminding her: "When the red carpet of the closing ceremony is underway, there will be another round of fashion shows."

Han Jianu: "..."

~

The time soon came to 6:15, and under the guidance of the staff, all the members of the "Dying to Survive" crew finally stepped onto the red carpet.

"The next one walking towards us is the winner of two Cannes Film Festival Golden Palm Awards, two Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Awards, one Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear Award, four Oscars for Best Picture, Berlin Film Emperor, and the global box office record holder..."

Just reading Chen Fei's award-winning resume, the red carpet host read for a full minute!

This is just a selection of the big awards. If we read out all the small awards he has won internationally, it would probably take at least ten minutes to do it.

"Director Chen! Look here!"

"Yifei..."

"Qin Hao, Tan Zhuo..."

"..."

The media on both sides of the red carpet were even more enthusiastic than the host, with constant calls and screams!

If you listen carefully, you can find that the most people called Chen Fei and Liu Yifei's names, after all, they are also the most famous internationally.

And then there was Qin Hao, the "little prince of art films", who is a frequent visitor to major film festivals and has many fans.

"Hey? I am a big director who has won the Golden Bear Award, why doesn't anyone call my name?"

Director Ning, who came to Cannes to avoid paying public taxes at home, was very upset.

No one called his name at the scene, isn't this too outrageous?

Doesn't he have any face abroad?

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at him. Seeing that he was wearing a big gold chain and sunglasses again, he suddenly felt funny: "I guess everyone thought you were a bodyguard, so they didn't recognize you."

A correct version in 16191 book and 1 forum!

Ning Hao: "???"

...

The 60-meter red carpet took 10 minutes to cooperate with the media of various countries for publicity and fans to take pictures.

If they were those carpet stars who paid for tickets, they would have been driven off by the security guards.

But they are not!

Faced with this lineup of big-name directors and big-name actors, the organizers wanted to let them stay on the red carpet for a few more minutes in exchange for more traffic.

"Fei, long time no see."

In front of the autograph wall, looking at Director Chen, who had spent countless nights with her, Monica Bellucci's eyes seemed to be flowing with water waves.

Chen Fei refused her hug, stretched out his hand and shook her gently, and after a few more greetings, he ran into the venue.

Monica Bellucci didn't say much, just looked at his back, unwilling to look away for a long time.

Although the fate was broken, it didn't stop her from missing the past, after all, it was also a very beautiful memory.

Entering the Lumiere Hall, before Chen Fei had time to observe the composition of the other guests present, his eyes were suddenly attracted by Li Yuchun who was chatting with the president of Armani.

The chest has a tiger head and a lion head, which really surprised him.

I don’t know when this person’s style is less and less like a woman. If you don’t know, you might think she is a man.

“Director Chen, Yifei, President Han… you are all here.”

A greeting suddenly came from one side.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Fan Bingbing, one of the members of the jury of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, standing by with a smile.

She was wearing a long dress from Elie Saab’s 2017 Spring and Summer Haute Couture series. The color of the dress was classic dark blue, which was both noble and calm, and complemented her temperament. At the same time, the two white spots on the chest of the dress were also very eye-catching!

“Long time no see.”

Chen Fei smiled and nodded at her.

The rest of the people were also very friendly to the judge in front of them.

Han Sanping even joked with her, saying that her luck had turned, and she had risen from a golden lock to a golden phoenix.

This metaphor made Fan Bingbing laugh so hard that his eyes were full of seductiveness.

"Humph! A foxy girl!"

Han Jianu muttered in a low voice, and was very unhappy with her father's behavior of talking to Fan Bingbing.

You know, when Chairman Han was in office a few years ago, he had a scandal with this big actress.

Although it was later clarified that it was false, as a daughter, Han Jianu was still very dissatisfied.

Seeing that her face was a little bad, Liu Yifei simply took her somewhere else to say hello to other familiar friends.

There were quite a lot of acquaintances from the mainland and Hollywood, so it was not difficult to find someone to chat with.

...

More than half an hour later, as the opening ceremony was about to begin, everyone came to their respective seats.

"Director Chen, Yifei, I just wanted to say hello to you, but I didn't find the chance."

The voice behind him attracted Chen Fei's attention.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Wang Luoxun, wearing a black deep V dress, waving at him and Liu Yifei with a smile.

"Long time no see, sister." Liu Yifei took the initiative to respond.

"It's been a long time."

A touch of reminiscence appeared in Wang Luoxun's eyes.

Back then, she was the first actress to get the role of Chen Fei, and was also known as the first "Flying Girl" in the acting circle.

However, now that time has passed, she chose to start her own studio early, but she did not become a popular first-line actress as she thought, but fell to the second line.

It can be said that... time, luck, and fate!

～

Today's opening film is the drama "Ismael's Ghosts", directed by Arnaud Desplechin and starring four French movie stars, Mathieu Amalric, Marion Cotillard, and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Looking around, the only familiar figure to the media and the audience is probably Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard, who plays a supporting role in the film.

The film tells the story of Ismael, a film producer, whose life is thrown into chaos when his wife, who disappeared 20 years ago and was thought to be dead, returns when he is about to start shooting a new film.

The plot is presented in a play-within-a-play format, with one telling the story of Carlotta's unexpected appearance, which brings endless troubles to Ismael and his current girlfriend Sylvia's lives.

The other flashes a clip from a film directed by Ismael that describes his brother as a secret agent.

The connection between the two narrative lines of the film is not very close, and the plot seems to be deliberately mysterious, which makes everyone present confused and a little disappointed.

After the 110-minute screening, there was not much applause, which undoubtedly proved the failure of this film.

"Brother, do you think that our "Dying to Survive" will not be like this when it premieres tomorrow, with few people applauding?"

Having finally been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival, Han Jianu naturally hopes to win an award.

Although she didn't dare to think about the Golden Palm Award, she was still looking forward to awards such as the Screenwriter Award and the Jury Award.

But after watching the opening ceremony film tonight, she became nervous for no reason.

If the audience and guests at the premiere tomorrow are as dull as tonight, how can they win any awards? Go home as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Chen Fei smiled and comforted her, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

When everyone returned to the hotel, they saw someone waiting for them at the door of the room.

"Fei, haha, long time no see, I really miss the time when we fought side by side together."

"Haha, Daria, isn't this another chance?"

After hugging and greeting, Chen Fei opened the door and invited everyone into the room.

"Let me introduce you, this is Daria Sophie, the head of the top public relations team of the Cannes International Film Festival, and also my partner..."

As Chen Fei introduced, many people in the audience gradually widened their eyes, their faces full of disbelief!

"Senior brother? This...this Cannes award also needs public relations?"

"Hmm, what else?" Chen Fei looked at her and asked a soul-searching question: "Think about it, if you are a judge of the Cannes International Film Festival, facing movies of the same quality, when you don't know who to give the award to, the producer of one of the movies suddenly gave you a big gift, while the producer of the other movie did not say anything, who would you choose to give the award to?"

After this, Han Jianu was silent.

At this time, Chen Fei turned his head and looked at Han Sanping: "Director Han, the reason why the movies sent by China Film Group to participate in the competition before could not even make the list of the best foreign language film is actually the same reason."

"Oh, don't mention it."

Han Sanping waved his hand, and now he didn't even want to think about those old things.

It was only after he suffered several losses that he realized that foreign awards require huge public relations funds, otherwise they are not qualified to win the award.

But the key issue is that China Film Group's money is the country's money, how to use it for public relations?

The phrase "causing the loss of state-owned assets" directly shattered all his thoughts!
