Rebirth 90: I turned my sister into a top student

Chapter 371
On the Cannes red carpet in 2000.

Liang Chaowei, who is dressed in a white suit, is full of vigor, while Zhang Manyu, who is wearing a white dress, is extremely beautiful. The two match like a couple of gods.

Because of the filming of "In the Mood for Love", the two got along day and night for 15 months.

Especially during the three months of filming abroad, they even lived in the same hotel. After filming, they ate and played together every day, forging an ambiguous revolutionary friendship.

The media is even more eager to report the scandal between the two.

The audience in Cannes sighed endlessly for the melancholy, gentle and unrequited love story of the two in "In the Mood for Love".

On the one hand, he kept thinking about the ambiguous plot between the two actors in reality on the scene.

Very few are sober.

After the red carpet is over, go back out of the camera.

Qin Qi watched silently, Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei got along more easily.

After all, Liang Chaowei chose to marry the most complementary Liu Jialing a few years later. I really don't know why the audience and the media are pretending to be blind.

Maybe it's because "In the Mood for Love" is so good, it's hard to get over the feelings of two people who can't love each other...

This is the characteristic of movies around 2000. It will always make the audience scratch their heads. There will never be such a cool drama with a happy ending.

The directors strongly believe that it is a blasphemy against art and humanity...

However, what Qin Qi watched most excitedly at the Cannes Film Festival was "Yi Yi" directed by 53-year-old Yang Dechang.

It was the first time in her two lives that she saw a movie like "Yi Yi", and she realized that movies can provide more than just entertainment.

The three-hour-long "Yi Yi" is as trivial as daily life.

So Yan Heng fell asleep next to him halfway, and Qin Shu was so bored that he ran outside to see the scenery.

But after Qin Qi patiently read it, he felt shocked as if he had gone through his whole life.

Because she has the experience of the past and the past, the moment she finished watching, she looked at Yan Heng, who had been with her all the time and was still sleeping peacefully, tears welling up in her eyes.

This "Yi Yi", which tells the story of an ordinary family in Taiwan, quietly outlines the troubles and happiness of each age.

For example, the 8-year-old "little philosopher" Yangyang in the film likes to take pictures of the back of other people's heads with a camera, because he thinks it can help others see the other side of himself that he can never see.

At her mother-in-law's funeral, Yangyang wrote a letter to her mother-in-law.

"Grandma, do you know what I want to do in the future? I'm going to tell people what they don't know, show people what they can't see. I think it must be fun every day."

Through the eight-year-old Yang Yang, Director Yang expressed his thoughts on the meaning of life when he was over fifty.

Qin Qi was able to live a new life and knew something that many people around him didn't know, and he felt it was a great fortune.

She has been working hard to pass this luck to everyone around her!

With her own efforts, the life of the whole family is getting better and better, and the friends around her are getting better and better. Everyone is doing what they like to do, and she feels sincerely happy.

And Yan Heng, who was by her side, was finally reunited with her family after all the ups and downs, and she was also happy for him.

After the screening, Yan Heng finally woke up, smiled at Qin Qi, and held Qin Qi's hand tightly.

The two then strolled all the way to the beach in Cannes.

The sea breeze is blowing at night, and the dark blue sea is picturesque.

The two couldn't help but kissed passionately in a place where no one could see...

When it was the turn of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to be screened, Qin Qi once again felt the madness of the Cannes audience.

Everyone said that even when "Farewell My Concubine", the only film that won the Palme d'Or in 1993, was screened, the scene was never so lively.

Qin Qi, Qin Shu, and Yan Heng were affected by the atmosphere even if they were just sitting in the corner.

The audience applauded many times in the middle of the show, and when the screening ended, everyone stood up and applauded for a long time.

When Qin Shu followed the main creators to the stage, the atmosphere on the scene was even more heated to the extreme.

Reporters from various media enthusiastically asked director Li An all kinds of big and small questions.

Li An was as elegant and gentle as ever, patiently answering one question after another with a smile on his face.

Seeing such a lively response at the scene, he felt relieved.

In this sense, even without a Palme d'Or trophy is not a pity.

The last Palme d'Or went to Danish director "Dancer in the Dark".

Qin Qi also went to watch this movie. Although it was also a great movie, she privately thought that each of the three Chinese-language movies that entered the main competition unit had a comparable strength.

The reason why "Dancer in the Dark" won the award is more or less related to this being a European film festival. It is quite difficult for a Chinese film to shine on other people's stages.

But even so, 2000 was also the pinnacle of overseas Chinese films.

The stars of this year's Chinese-language films belong to "The Devil Is Coming", which won the jury award, to Taiwan director Yang Dechang and his "Yi Yi", who won the best director award, and to "Yi Yi", who won the best actor award. "Golden years".

Of course, it also belongs to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which did not enter the main competition.

The next time a Chinese-language film wins an award at Cannes will be the Best Screenplay Award for "A Night in the Spring Breeze" in 2009, and the Best Screenplay Award for "A Touch of Sin" directed by Jia Zhangke in 2013.

Qin Qi was really lucky that he was able to witness this highlight moment.

Everyone was also in high spirits, and the various film crews went to each other, took pictures, had dinner, and chatted freely, spending an unforgettable seven days.

After returning from Cannes, Qin Shu devoted himself to the final effort for the college entrance examination.

Qin Qi began to make the final effort for "Painted Skin", which is about to start filming in the summer, in his spare time.

She went to Cannes and watched a lot of good movies, and now her vision has opened up a lot.

Especially after getting to know a lot of people in the industry, Qin Qi and Yan Heng can now be regarded as well-known members of the film industry.

In addition, the total domestic and international box office of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" exceeded the 9000 million mark, making it a phenomenon-level film in one fell swoop.

It can be said that they did not spend much effort when attracting investment and determining the main creative lineup.

First of all, Director Huo was the first to be determined.

Director Huo was very excited about being selected, and said that he must do a good job.

Because "Painted Skin" was filmed in 2008 in the previous life, the main actors in the previous life are still too young, and most of them are not suitable for this movie, so most of the roles have been cast again.

For example, Zhao Wei at this time was filming "Deep Love in the Rain" and hadn't even acted in "Moment in Peking", so naturally he couldn't understand the forbearing and affectionate big house character of Mrs. Wang in "Painted Skin".

Qin Qi wondered who would be suitable for the role, and finally found the 35-year-old Gong Li boldly.
