Chapter 370 Going to Cannes
During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon in 2000, the Qin family had an unprecedentedly lively year.

In a few days, relatives who hadn't seen each other for several years rushed over.

The family had no choice but to hurry back to the city on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Otherwise, every day, I don't know how many relatives will come to the door.

Still in response to the famous saying, "No one asks you when you are poor on the street, but you have distant relatives when you are rich in the mountains"!

When I went to the city, my family went skating and had a great time.

Soon, Qin Shu, who had just started school, devoted himself to preparing for the early college entrance examination and applying for the Beijing Opera Academy, and his daily schedule was full.

In order to sneak in, she still has another important event, that is, Director Li An invited Qin Shu to attend the one-week Cannes Film Festival in mid-May.

Fortunately, she is not anchored to the best school in Huaguo to prepare for the college entrance examination like Qin Qi did in the past.

Now, as long as she passes the cultural test, the Peking Opera Academy will definitely admit her.

In this way, Qin Shu's study pressure was immediately reduced a lot, so he agreed to go to Cannes despite his busy schedule.

But because Qin Shu had never been abroad, and the time was extremely tight, Qin Qi had to go through all kinds of formalities, arrange the itinerary, and go abroad with Qin Shu.

Qin Qi also did not expect that he would have the opportunity to go abroad to have a look under the influence of his sister.

After the Yan family heard the news, they were also very happy for the Qin family.

It happened that Yan Heng had never been abroad, so Yan Zhongming asked Yan Heng to go out with him to gain knowledge.

Not to mention anything else, participating in a film event of this level is also a great thing for the future development of Youth Studio.

Yan Heng had no reason to refuse this time, and readily agreed.

Of all the preparatory work, the most difficult thing is the clothing to be worn on the red carpet.

Qin Qi noticed during the Chinese New Year that Zhang Ziyi followed Director Zhang to the Berlin Film Festival, and the two returned with the Silver Bear Award.

What caused the domestic media to report was the issue of Zhang Ziyi's red carpet styling.

As the leading actor of "My Father and Mother", Zhang Ziyi was wearing a big red bellyband and accompanied Director Zhang to the podium.

This is unprecedented boldness.

You know, the regular looks of the red carpet in Cannes are all kinds of dresses that compete with each other, and the apron, which has never appeared in Cannes, shocked everyone as soon as it appeared on the stage.

Under the camera, the apron is more eye-catching than the Silver Bear trophy held by Director Zhang.

Director Zhang scolded people when she stepped off the stage, saying that she was too flamboyant and ambitious as a newcomer.

This was also recorded by the media who followed to report.

Qin Qi doesn't want Qin Shu to be in the limelight, after all, it's her works that really make a person successful.

Qin Qi knew that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was already dazzling enough.

There is no need to show any sense of presence through clothing, but it is necessary to reflect the culture of Huaguo.

Rong Qingyi knew that Qin Qi was busy with these things, so she also found a private designer whom she was acquainted with to help with a plan.

Qin Qi couldn't be more grateful, she knew that Rong Qingyi's taste should not be picky.

In the end, everyone decided on a dress embroidered with bamboo forests for Qin Shu, paired with an ancient style of hair, and a simple bamboo branch inserted in the hair, which echoes the bamboo forest drama in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The most conspicuous part of the whole body shape is a pair of emerald green earrings and a bracelet. This outfit is full of fairy air and has oriental characteristics, just like a chivalrous woman coming to the world.

Even director Li An couldn't help admiring when he saw the renderings. This outfit fits perfectly with their film.

Finally, when the time came in late May, everyone boarded the plane to Cannes together.

Li An deliberately cheered everyone up on the plane.

"Although our film was not shortlisted for competition, everyone should be full of confidence."

This is the first time that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has made its international debut. In fact, Li An is very disturbed.

Because his movie is very different from the martial arts movies made in Huaguo in the past, and the knowledge of martial arts movies in the West is very little in the past.

Qin Qi was much calmer.

"Director Li, I believe our film will definitely shine, and it will definitely be more influential than the films in the competition!"

Li An smiled and nodded towards Qin Qi.

"Well, I am very satisfied to be able to come to Cannes. In 1970, "Xia Nv" directed by Mr. Hu Jinquan of Xiangdao was brilliant in Cannes. Not only was it shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, it also won the technical award. An award-winning film overseas.

His "Chivalrous Woman" is also related to your Qishi, and it is also adapted from Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". "

Qin Qi didn't know about this relationship, so Li An immediately introduced it to everyone.

"Xu Feng, the heroine in "Xia Nv", also had a fight scene where she swooped down from a bamboo tip. It was an extremely outstanding stunt design and lens editing in our martial arts movies. I was also very impressed when I shot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". his influence."

Li An is a real person, and he doesn't hide at all that he learned from his predecessors.

Qin Qi admired Director Li's craftsmanship very much.

"Director Li, has Director Hu made any money from "The Chivalrous Woman"?"

Li An shook his head with a smile.

"When it comes to this, I am even more disturbed. Director Hu is a master who really loves movies. His movie took four years to shoot, and the 10-minute bamboo forest scene alone took 25 days. It was often shot on one shot. Hundred times.

What's even more ridiculous is that because there was a scene that required the reeds in the courtyard to create a bleak effect, director Hu thought the reeds were not tall enough, so he waited for the reeds to grow taller before filming.

With such a willful shooting attitude, the production cost continued to rise in the end, but the box office after the release was extremely unsatisfactory.In the end, Director Hu had to pay for his own travel expenses if he wanted to bring the film to the exhibition. If he hadn't sold the European rights, the film's holes would not be filled! "

Qin Qi and the others listened to Director Li telling the story of Director Hu like a treasure, and they really respected the filmmakers of the past.

They immediately understood why Li An was nervous.

After all, the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" they participated in has never been released in theaters, and how it will perform in the future is still unknown.

Among this group of people, Qin Qi has the most confidence in the film.

"Director Li, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will definitely create new history." Qin Qi said firmly.

Li An was also infected by Qin Qi, and as the plane landed in Cannes, everyone became more and more emotional.

After all, gains and losses come second, and coming to Cannes is to experience a movie feast.

The Cannes Film Festival in 2000 was definitely a highlight moment for Asian art films.

As soon as he stepped onto the Cannes red carpet, Qin Qi encountered a rare and famous scene.

In front of the red carpet are the creators of "In the Mood for Love".

In the Mood for Love, Liang Chaowei casually held Liu Jialing with his left hand, but clasped Zhang Manyu's fingers tightly with his right hand...
