One hundred and seventy-six chapters finale 44
One of the important reasons why the Cannes Film Festival has a huge influence is that it is the world's largest film trading market, and 70% of the world's film trading is completed here.
The good reputation after the screening of "Ten Li Xiang" made the film very popular in the Cannes film trading market. The next day, Morning Star and Zheng Di went to the trading market to stand up for the film. In one day, movie publishers from more than 20 countries bought the screening rights for the film.
Every evening, the Film Palace has new films participating in the competition. Morningstar goes to watch movies for two consecutive days. She doesn't want to walk the red carpet anymore. She goes in through the side door of the Film Palace in a low-key manner every day, but she is still caught by the Chinese media who has been staring at her and takes photos of her private servers.
After the movie is over every day, it is almost eleven o'clock, and the nightlife in Cannes has just begun. The "After Party" here is all night long, and various cocktail parties and commercial dinners are all trying hard to invite celebrities to participate. Morningstar receives seven or eight dinner invitations every day. In addition, Polya Jewelry, as one of the sponsors of this film festival, has to hold several formal events. Wang Mai helped her confirm that it was the event she had to attend, and there were six events in these three days.
In order to avoid any incidents similar to that French reporter, Morningstar appeared at every event. After taking photos by the media, the bodyguards left immediately after they opened the road and never interacted with any of the guests on site.
The reporter named Zhao Junkai appeared at events several times, but he never got the chance to get close to Morning Star again.
The successive activities and styling appearances made Chenxing a little tired. One day it was the closing ceremony. Chenxing wanted to rest in the hotel for a day during the day, and she had already greeted Wang Mai. Unexpectedly, at two o'clock that afternoon, Wang Ma called her and asked her to make a styling immediately and go to an award ceremony with him later.
Morning Star was confused. Isn’t the official award ceremony tomorrow night? She asked Wang Ma what the ceremony was, and Wang Ma was not very clear. It was just that the older generation of famous director Guan Yuqing in the circle called him personally and said that this was a new award specially awarded to Chinese movies. Morning Star, as the top Chinese star, would be better to support it. He could not help but give face to the old director.
Not only Wang Ma and Chenxing, but also director Deng Shijie received a call from his fellow travelers in Xiangjiang, begging him to come and support him.
Morning Star had to change into a white strapless dress, bring a complete set of emerald jewelry, and attend the award ceremony with Director Deng and Wang Mai.
Wang Ma took Chenxing to the entrance of the Movie Palace. A staff member who was responsible for reception took them to a trading venue behind the Movie Palace. At the entrance of the trading venue were all etiquette ladies from China. Wang Ma gradually knew the situation.
When he entered the venue, he saw a banner with the "Cannes Chinese Film Awards" hanging on the stage of the venue. There were many young Chinese people sitting in the venue. Wang Mai glanced at it a few times and knew that these young people were all Chinese students in France who were hired.
Wang Mai has been to Cannes several times in the past and is very clear about the award settings of the Cannes Film Festival. If he guessed correctly, this award is a pheasant award tailored by some of his domestic colleagues.
Of course, this kind of scam can deceive media reporters and people in the circle, but what they want to deceive is the general public in their own country. They spend millions to find suitable channels. For example, a foreign institution that makes the Chinese people feel tall and superior, and sponsored by a Chinese business owner, can set certain awards by Cannes.
After they rented the venue, they distributed some magazines with mixed fish at their own expense, and then attracted two media outlets that they had bought in advance, so they could conduct a large-scale promotion of their videos in the name of the Cannes award.
When he met Director Guan Yuqing, Wang Ma asked him about the film that won the award. Director Guan told him that there were three movies: "The Lover" starring Chinese actor Wu Lina, "Miracle" starring Zhu Yuncong, and "The Source of Evil" starring Xiangjiang actor Huang Kun. Wang Ma immediately changed his face and said to Director Guan:
"Director Guan, there is nothing to say about our friendship. If it is a movie you always shoot, Chenxing will definitely come to stand you up, but today you are also entrusted by others, so I can't help but say a few words in my heart: Wu Lina and Zhu Yuncong have repeatedly damned Chenxing. They have cheated and deceived the world and robbed the world of fame. Chenxing also gave them support. Wouldn't it make people laugh at the world? Please forgive me, we are gone!"
Director Guan also felt embarrassed, but Zhu Yuncong's girlfriend is his niece now, so he couldn't hide his face. When Wang Ma exposed it in person, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, so he could only watch Wang Ma and Chen Xing turn and leave.
Director Deng asked the director of Xiangjiang who invited him to come, and he knew even more clearly what was going on. He was extremely angry and came out with a dark face!
Back at the hotel, Director Deng told Wang Mai: "It's incredible. Why do these people like to cheat so much? Last year I heard that Chinese people went to the Oscar to fake and bought a pheasant award. They were ridiculed by international colleagues for a long time. This year, they went to Cannes to make trouble again, so we had to embarrass us again!"

Li Muyu received the message from his niece and was silent for a long time. He could understand the pain in his daughter's heart, but as a person who knew the rules of power very well, he could not support his daughter in doing things that exceeded the boundaries of his behavior. He thought for two days, and combined with the experience of the morning star and Cannes trip, he replied to Sizhi with an email.
In the email, Li Muyu advised Chenxing not to be impulsive. Art and politics are different. As a star, if she actively makes some remarks outside of her profession, she is prone to making low-level mistakes and is difficult to convince the public.
But as a public figure, she often has to accept interviews from reporters. If the reporter asks about something related to Su Yue, she can clearly express her views.
Li Muyu personally drafted six questions related to Su Yue that reporters might mention and answered to reporters by her, and told Li Sizhi to ask Chenxing to remember the questions and answers in English. Once the reporter mentioned the questions he listed, Chenxing could express his ideas.
