I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 382
The Palais des Festivals, one of the landmark buildings in Cannes, integrates cinemas, theaters, concert halls, casinos, etc.

Most importantly, it is the main venue of the Cannes Film Festival, where the festival's opening ceremony, film reflections and final awards are held.

Usually there are not many people at the Palais des Festivals, let alone crowded.

But today, there was a sea of ​​people outside the Festival Palace.

Both sides of the long red carpet were crowded with reporters and the public.

"It is said that the blankets outside the Palais des Festivals are usually blue, and they are only changed to red blankets when events are held. Is it true?"

In the waiting area, Liu Xiqian touched Qin Muchu with her arm.

"never heard of that."

Qin Muchu didn't know where Liu Xiqian heard this anecdote, and his attention was not on it.

After looking up and down at Liu Xiqian's outfit today, she finally couldn't help but ask:
"Who chose this outfit for you?"

The light blue dress is inlaid with many sequins. The tulle material makes the snow-white skin close to the dress faintly visible. The deep V design outlines a shallow ravine.

This body is revealing, but it doesn't reveal much.

Although it is a deep V, the left and right sides are tightly blocked, and Liu Xiqian is not as stalwart as Yang Mi. She looks very sexy at first glance, but when you take a closer look, you can't see anything, and she is even a little conservative.

This is the beauty of this dress.

To describe it, it's like in a movie where Tony Leung said "I'm very angry now" and then pushed down the female secretary.

The lens is very "clean", with no color at all, but the audience's blood is racing.

Given enough hints, the rest depends on the audience's imagination, and what they imagine is often more exciting than what they see with their own eyes.

This dress has a bit of that meaning in it.

The reason why Qin Muchu paid attention to this set of clothes was not because he had any intentions towards Liu Xiqian, but because he was surprised when Liu Xiqian took this style route.

"Mimi chose it. How do you like it? It's pretty, isn't it?"

Liu Xiqian straightened her body with some pride.

Yang Mi chose it?

Qin Muchu was no longer surprised for a moment.

He is indeed an expert in color, but he understands the thoughts of men very well.

But when he looked at Liu Xiqian who was very satisfied with the dress, he was still a little curious:
"This style is very different from your previous one, isn't it? Are you no longer a fairy sister?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiqian, who was still smiling at first, gradually became serious:

"I have never wanted to be a fairy sister. It was just a press release that my mother asked the company to publish before, although it brought a lot of fame..."

As she said that, she suddenly looked at Qin Muchu:
"Look, if I wear this kind of clothes, your first reaction is to wonder why I wear this kind of clothes. The title of "Fairy Sister" traps me in it.

It's not that I hate this title, it's just that I think... I shouldn't just be a 'fairy sister', I can also be a 'beggar girl', a 'vicious evil girl', or a 'vixen'; I can wear elegant, intellectual, Girls can also wear sexy ones. "

After a pause, seeing Qin Muchu saying nothing, she waved her hand:
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Qin Muchu nodded.

There is nothing difficult to understand. Simply put, Liu Xiqian does not want to be defined, she wants to try more.

"Then do you think my idea is right?" Liu Xiqian asked again.

"It's good. Not being limited to a certain framework is definitely a good thing for actors. There are more possibilities."

What actors fear most is that their image will be solidified. In this case, their acting career will be greatly restricted.

Just like Liu Xiqian, who has always been the image of a "beautiful girl", Lao Mouzi would never consider her to play a certain hairpin when filming "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

There are also some sexy characters who won't even come to her.

"but……"

After expressing his agreement, Qin Muchu changed his subject and started talking about the difficulties again:
"This is not an easy thing. Your image has been deeply ingrained in people's minds for so many years. If you don't do it well, you may lose your fans."

"It's okay, I've thought of it a long time ago, just drop it."

Liu Xiqian waved her hands indifferently, then smiled again:
"Mimi also supported my idea, so she helped me choose this dress. The change started from looking gorgeous in Cannes!"

"Emm..."

Qin Muchu wanted to remind Liu Xiqian that this dress did not have the magic power to make her look stunning in Cannes. Although it was indeed a sexy style, the person wearing it was a girl with small breasts.

Looking at the waiting area, almost all the actresses are wearing more bold and open clothes. After all, this is Cannes, and there are mostly Europeans and Americans.

On the other hand, there is still a chance for the Chinese female stars to come to Cannes in a beautiful way, because there are only a few of them.

Zeng Li, the most competitive, wore a conservative dress at Qin Muchu's request.

The remaining threat is...

"Oh, so cool!"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation in the waiting area. Qin Muchu found that the foreigners were all looking in the same direction with surprised faces. There was a big screen showing the live broadcast of the red carpet outside, so he also looked curiously to see what surprised these foreigners. Eclipsed.

Seeing this, he was also stunned.

There is only one thought in my heart: Liu Xiqian can't be suppressed.

……

Due to the time difference, the red carpet show in Cannes starts at 19:00, while it is already one o'clock in the morning in China, so the news about Cannes will have to be delayed for a few hours, and it will not be fully fermented until the people in China wake up. .

There are still a lot of people paying attention to this year's Cannes Film Festival. To put it bluntly, a large part of the reason is because of "Love Letter".

This joint work by Qin Muchu and Zhang Yimou has already stirred up a storm at the beginning of the year, seducing the audience's heartstrings for half a year, and it can be said that the anticipation is full.

Aiwu and Wuxia naturally paid attention to the Cannes Film Festival.

Many viewers who couldn't wait for the movie to be released went directly to Cannes to get a sneak peek.

As for another Chinese film "Rizhao Chongqing" that was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, it did not receive this treatment.

Many viewers don't even know about this movie. Except for a few die-hard fans of Fan Shuishui, basically no one pays attention to it.

But after the Cannes red carpet show was reported early this morning, things were different.

"Fan Huang's "Dragon Robe" Stunning Cannes! ! ! 》

"The queen of the Cannes red carpet, her domineering dragon robe dominates the entire venue!" 》

Similar reports came in overwhelmingly, and overnight there were only four keywords in the entertainment industry - Fan Shuishui, Fan Huang, Longpao, and Cannes.

The headlines of every entertainment report were inseparable from these keywords, and even Qin Muchu and others who were walking on the red carpet were squeezed into a corner.

Photos of Fan Shuishui wearing a golden dragon robe and walking on the red carpet in Cannes were widely reposted and occupied major portal websites.

Of course, these are all things for later. Ordinary people just wanted to take advantage of the situation and could watch it after a nap. However, insiders, especially female stars who were in direct competition, were dismissed when the news came back to China. The manager woke me up with a phone call.

Seeing that dragon robe, I was filled with surprise.

There were only two thoughts in her mind: How dare she do that?Why didn't I think of that?
The dragon robe has a special meaning to the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

Not everyone can wear this dress. Throughout thousands of years of history, only the supreme emperor can wear this dress.

And today Fan Shuishui is wearing it, what does this mean?
Declare yourself to be the No. 1 female star in the entertainment industry?
"Emperor Fan? She really dares to call her emperor. What honors and qualifications does she have to be able to claim the title of emperor?"

At two o'clock in the morning, angry shouts came from a hotel in Harbin.

Zhang Ziyi ignored her irritable brother and just frowned at the news reports on the computer. When she saw Fan Shuishui's luxurious dragon robe, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

I thought that when I wore a red bellyband to receive an award in Berlin, I was already at the pinnacle of the industry, but compared with Fan Shuishui wearing a dragon robe on the red carpet today, I still fell behind.

"In ancient times, she would have worn this dress to be a member of the Nine Yi Clan."

Zhang Zinan was still cursing, and as he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and slapped the table:
"Zi Yi, don't you have an event the day after tomorrow and you have to walk on the red carpet? You also wear a dragon robe. Later we will find someone to design it. It will definitely be better than hers! It's better than Fan Huang, and we don't want to see if she can afford it. , if she is Fan Huang, let’s call her Zhang Huang.”

Zhang Ziyi looked away from the computer, looked at her proud brother again, pinched her eyebrows, and felt stupid.

Everyone else has worn dragon robes, so she will wear them in two days?
Isn't this a blatant imitation?

In the entertainment industry, imitation is a way of admitting weakness.

She didn't understand this simple truth, and Zhang Ziyi didn't bother to explain it to her brother.

She kicked her brother out of the team after she got angry last time, but her brother went to her parents to cry and complained, unable to withstand their scoldings, and finally let him come back recently.

Perhaps frightened by her father's attitude of not recognizing her relatives, Zhang Zinan became much more honest and hard-working after she came back.

No, he stayed with me "analyzing the enemy's situation" in the middle of the night.

Although she doesn't need to.

Rolled his eyes:
"Why, you are not among my nine clans?"

Zhang Zinan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had just said that Fan Shuishui wore a dragon robe from the Yijiu tribe, wouldn't it be the same if his sister wore it?

He laughed sarcastically and added:
"Isn't this modern? I don't like that..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Ziyi waved her hands with a headache:
"Brother, you go and have a rest. Thank you."

Zhang Zinan could also see his sister's impatience. In the past, he would have asked, "Is this your attitude when talking to your brother?" But after being kicked away once, he no longer had the energy to do so.

He nodded with a fake smile:

"Okay, Ziyi, you should also go to bed early."

After Zhang Zinan walked out of the room, Zhang Ziyi looked at the agent sitting on the sofa opposite her and asked:
"Sister Ji, what do you think?"

Ji Lingling looked away from the report on the computer, with some admiration in her eyes:
"It's really good marketing, I can't compare to it."

"No way, Sister Ji can't compare to her."

Zhang Ziyi immediately stood up and sat next to Ji Lingling, resting her head on her shoulder.Ji Lingling also smiled and hugged Zhang Ziyi:
"I know what I am good at. I can find resources for you to discuss cooperation. But marketing is really not my strong point. I still suggest that you recruit a specialized talent. Don't worry about me overthinking it."

Zhang Ziyi naturally agreed with this, but she couldn't be too eager, so she said:
"Sister Ji, you decide, we are all under your control anyway."

This sentence made the smile on Ji Lingling's face even bigger. She did not continue the topic, but returned to the topic:

"Fan Shuishui did a good job in marketing, but there are also disadvantages."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded.

“It’s so popular.”

There were only two people in the room, Ji Lingling and Zhang Ziyi. If it wasn't Ji Lingling, the person who said this would naturally be Zhang Ziyi.

At this moment, she was holding her arched knees with one hand, and tapping on the keyboard with the other hand to switch between pictures of Fan Shuishui's dragon robe. She didn't know what she was thinking.

"Yes."

Ji Lingling nodded in agreement:

"What your brother said just now is right, Fan Huang, Fan Shuishui can't afford it. Even though she has been very popular in the past two years, I heard that she has received seven movies this year and participated in various film festivals, but Fan Huang ... She was a little too hasty."

Although the name "Fan Huang" was written by the reporter in the report, it seems to have nothing to do with Fan Shuishui.

But everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and it is useless to play "Liao Zhai".

"Originally this year she came up with something like 'I am a rich man', and becoming a 'Fan Ye' would be enough to make her stand out. After she stabilizes her reputation, she might be able to stand out from the 'Four Dans and Two Waters'.

But greed is not enough. She wants to become the 'Fan Emperor' and overwhelm everyone. Can she be able to do so?Look, after she plays like this, she won't have any female friends in the industry, and there will definitely be backlash later. Moreover, she still has her own studio, and the company behind the female star will not make it easy for her. "

Ji Lingling kept talking. Although she was not good at marketing, she had no creativity, and she still had the ability to review things afterwards.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a sigh.

She looked at Zhang Ziyi. As an artist, she didn't feel happy about losing a rival. Instead, she looked a little...sad?
"Sister Ji, are you saying that if I didn't listen to you and went to Cannes, would it have become a stepping stone for her?" Zhang Ziyi suddenly asked.

When Ji Lingling thought about it, it was really true.

If Zhang Ziyi goes to Cannes, she will definitely have to walk on the red carpet.

When the time comes, when you compare with Fan Shuishui, you won't be beaten in seconds.

I didn’t read this report about the Cannes red carpet. The [Chao Qin Mu Chu] team, which has always been the darling of the media, only occupied the space of one group photo.

But... Ji Lingling looked at Zhang Ziyi in confusion.

Shouldn't you be happy to have escaped being "sexed" once?
"Sister Ji, I feel like I have seen myself in the past, so ambitious and wanting to be the first. If it hadn't been for this incident, I should still be like that."

Zhang Ziyi spoke again, looking at Fan Shuishui's photo on the computer, and that face gradually transformed into her own.

It was as if she saw the development path of another herself, but as a bystander, she clearly realized that that path was broken, and she would be broken into pieces if she continued on.

I couldn't help but feel a sadness similar to "the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox" in my heart.

Ji Lingling didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to say this. Zhang Ziyi had changed a lot in the past month.

This change does not mean that Zhang Ziyi has lost her will to move up, but that the way she walks is different, softer, gentler, and more... calm.

There is no doubt that this change is for the better.

Patted Zhang Ziyi on the shoulder:

"You're not like that now, aren't you? Let's wait and see what happens with Fan Shuishui for the time being... By the way, how's the matter with Aunt Zhao?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyi raised her head, and the sadness in her eyes quickly dissipated:
"Uncle Benshan said it's no problem. Find a time when we return to Yanjing and make an appointment to have dinner. That's it."

Hearing this, Ji Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Then this trip to Harbin was really not in vain."

"That's right. Otherwise, if we only shoot for two days and then stop working, it wouldn't be worth the time spent on the road."

Zhang Ziyi also showed a relaxed smile.

The Pomo Sect incident has had too great an impact, and now it is finally coming to an end.

"Wait a minute, work is stopped again? How long will it be stopped this time?"

Ji Lingling's eyes were full of surprise.

The last time the production was stopped for less than half a month, the filming was stopped again for two days. The filming time was not long before the production was stopped. Is there anyone who makes a movie like this?

"The pause is long this time. It seems that the investors want to withdraw their capital or something. It will take at least... two or three months.

Alas, there is no way, who asked the director to call Wang Jiawei. "

Zhang Ziyi was also helpless, but soon smiled:

“But the shutdown is also a good thing.”

"Good thing?"

"Well, today my college teacher, Teacher Chang, called me and asked me if I had time to be a teacher at a summer camp during the summer."

"Summer camp teacher?"

Ji Lingling was even more confused.

Isn't the summer camp just like an outing for children? Let Zhang Ziyi be a teacher?

"I'm not sure. It seems that it is jointly organized by the three schools of China Theater, Yanying Theater, and Shanghai Theater. For more details, I have to go back to Yanjing to meet and discuss."

Zhang Ziyi was equally confused, but she was inclined to agree in her heart.

An event jointly organized by three schools, can this be a small matter?

……

On the other side, while the Chinese entertainment industry was experiencing ups and downs because of Fan Shuishui, the opening ceremony in Cannes was also coming to an end.

Qin Muchu was still teasing Liu Xiqian, who had said boldly before the red carpet that she wanted to "become the most beautiful in Cannes":
"Does this count as dying before you start? It's not a good sign. I think it's hard for you to change your style."

In response to this, the fairy sister only responded with a pair of big white eyes and hugged Zeng Li's arm:
"Sister Li, let's sleep together tonight."

Zeng Li smiled and pinched Liu Xiqian's face, then looked at Qin Muchu funny.

She fully knew that this was Liu Xiqian's "retaliation".

Qin Muchu gritted his teeth, he was such a vicious single dog.

He snatched Zeng Li from Liu Xiqian's hand and blocked him behind him, declaring his sovereignty.

The night in Cannes was so lonely that I couldn't sleep alone.

Liu Xiqian was about to speak when a voice suddenly sounded:
"Director Qin?"

Turning around, he saw a fat, middle-aged man, not tall, with Guo Degang's haircut and a somewhat festive smile. There were many people following him.

There is only one woman.

It was Fan Shuishui who was wearing a dragon robe.

As for men, she only knows one, Qin Hao.

"Hello, Director Wang, hello."

Liu Xiqian didn't know this man, but Qin Muchu recognized him at a glance and immediately stepped forward to say hello politely.

This is Wang Xiaoshuai, the director of "Rizhao Chongqing" and one of the sixth generation directors.

As for the people standing next to him, Qin Hao, Fan Shuishui and Qin Muchu naturally knew each other. There was also an actor whom he had met when walking on the red carpet. He knew he was an actor from the crew of "Rizhao Chongqing". However, the other two men looked familiar, but they Can't remember who it was.

"Haha, Director Qin is so polite. I have to thank you for lending me Haozi today."

Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

Qin Hao and Fan Shuishui also came over and greeted everyone on Qin Muchu's side.

Qin Hao looked at the servant and found something was wrong:

"Hey, Huimin isn't here?"

"Something happened and she couldn't leave."

There are many people with mixed eyes, and Qin Muchu didn't elaborate.

Qin Hao was not a fool, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"By the way, I almost forgot to introduce."

Seeing that the greetings here were over, Wang Xiaoshuai smiled and spoke again. He pointed to the two men next to him:

"This is Lou Ye, this is Jia Zhangke."

He only mentioned his name and did not introduce his occupation.

Because he believes that serious filmmakers in China will not know these two.

And Qin Muchu did know them, and even spoke of these two names like thunder.

Under the cover of night, he felt in a daze that the faces of the two people were distorted, becoming demonic and extremely terrifying.

Is it too late for me to run now?It won't be contaminated with bad luck, right?

　The updates in the past two months have been very annoying. Although I didn’t dare to read the comment section, I know that there must be many book friends scolding it. I completely understand this and it is indeed worthy of scolding.

　　The main reason is that I am working now and I am reading Kaogong’s book at the same time. I really have very little time to conceive the novel. In addition, sometimes I have written several thousand words and I am not very satisfied, so I don’t publish it and rewrite it.

　　I will try my best to ensure that there is an update of at least [-] words every day, sorry.
