The news that Cheng Yu'an was elected as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival has indeed caused quite a stir and controversy in the world of film circles.

He is too young!

A director's most creative energy should be between the ages of 40 and 60. Cheng Yu'an graduated in 2002 and released his first feature film in 2003. He has only made his debut for more than 10 years and is only 33 years old. At this age, he is still a child in the director circle.

.

The mainstream media here in the Mainland naturally warmly congratulated and praised Cheng Yu'an for his historic election as Cannes chairman.

China News Service published a special graphic report on its official website: "Cheng Yu'an serves as chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival."

The film channel also reported the news on its official website and congratulated on Weibo: "my country's outstanding director Cheng Yu'an received an invitation from Cannes yesterday and was confirmed to serve as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is the second time for a Chinese-speaking director to be appointed as the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. For the first time, a mainland filmmaker serves as Cannes chairman."

The next day, Yangma’s morning and noon news followed up on the news and sent congratulations.

The evening news broadcast will be broadcast again!

There is still more than a minute of interview footage. The interview was sent out early the next morning. It was in the preparatory team of "The Wandering Earth". Behind Cheng Yu'an was the concept poster of The Wandering Earth. Let Xinwen Network film it and it was considered as pre-publicity.

.

The comrades who came to interview didn't say much. Cheng Yu'an was an old acquaintance, and "The Wandering Earth" was also a major movie that was fully supported by the higher authorities. No one would say anything if they took some materials to promote it in advance.

But the comments from Hong Kong and Taiwan are almost meaningless.

There are many congratulations and praises, but there are also many yin and yang people.

"Serving as the president of the jury at the age of 33 is a hype for Pierre's appointment." The target was pointed at the new film festival chairman Pierre Lescure.

"Leaving aside whether Cheng Yu'an is qualified to be elected, Cannes' decision to choose the chairman so rashly is a trampling on the 68-year history of the film festival!"

"Cheng Yu'an is good at pleasing the audience, and his films never care about the current social situation. With such a person serving as chairman, it is conceivable that this will be the worst film festival." Take a look, "Apple Daily".

However, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists were very polite to Cheng Yu'an's selection.

The chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Chen Jiashang, even publicly expressed his hope to invite Cheng Yuan to join the professional jury of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

His apprentice Lin Chaoxian had already gone to film "Operation Mekong" remotely. He thought he could use this to ease the relationship with Cheng Yu'an, but Cheng Yu'an did not reply to his invitation.

On the contrary, most overseas film media welcomed Cheng Yu'an's appointment as the new Cannes jury chairman.

"Ageing Cannes welcomes young people." "Hollywood Reporter"

British "Sight and Sound": "In the past, we always used to call him an outstanding young director because of his age, but in fact, he has long been the best director in the world..." The author bluntly stated in the following article, "Whether it is

In terms of business and art, abandoning Cheng Yuan was the worst decision Barbara ever made."

Cheng Yu'an didn't know whether Alberto Barbara, who was far away in Venice, would regret it.

However, now that I have taken over the chairmanship, I have to support the film festival.

Cheng Yuan has given full play to his influence in the domestic and foreign film circles and made full appearances in the past few days to attract exposure for the film festival.

Registration for the Cannes Film Festival has not ended yet, and many directors at home and abroad are really considering whether to send their films to Cannes because of Cheng Yuan's election.

Cheng Lingfeng said that she would take "The Danish Girl" to Cannes to support him.

Cheng Yu'an quickly dismissed her idea: "Stop making trouble. "Carol" is in Cannes. You can bring "The Danish Girl" over and beat yourself up. "The Danish Girl" will go to Venice." After thinking about it again, he said

, "In this way, if you let the crews of "The Intern" and "Collapse" come to Cannes to promote, and we bring a group of people there from China, Cannes won't be ugly this year."

"The Intern" featured Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, and "Collapse" featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, both of whom are international big names.

How many people were waiting to see Cheng Yu'an disgraced? How could Cheng Yu'an let them get their wish?

The good news in Cannes was washed away by the joy of the New Year within a few days.

"If I hadn't been pregnant, I could have gone up and sang a song this year." Liu Yifei, who came back from the racecourse to accompany her grandfather to have New Year's Eve dinner, leaned on the sofa and remembered that she had refused the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years. She suddenly became angry and punched her hard.

The husband punched me and said, "It's all your fault for delaying my work."

After being punched inexplicably, Cheng Yuanyang said angrily: "You blame me, I blame you. In order to celebrate the New Year with you, I said every year that I couldn't go to the show if I didn't have time. The leaders thought that I was too arrogant and couldn't be moved."

"

This year's Spring Festival Gala is very big, especially the theme of anti-corruption. Happy Mahua brought "Follow Him", Miao Fu and Wang Sheng had "This Is Not Mine", but in comparison, "Follow Him" ​​is more

Pungent and ironic.

"Hehehe~" The young lady was so happy that her teeth were blooming.

"Is it fun?" Cheng Yu'an was peeling oranges and eating them.

"Well, I really like Shen Teng and Ma Li. I even went to see their plays before. Ah -" Liu Yifei opened her mouth to feed them.

Cheng Yu'an stuffed a piece of orange into her mouth: "Shen Teng is a very powerful person. The company is planning to promote Happy Twist in comedy. This year, there will be a special comedy talent show... Do you listen to me?"

Liu Yifei was listening to Cheng Yu'an talking, staring at the TV, having a silly laugh.

"Oh, who will listen to you talk about work or watch TV during the Chinese New Year?"

Yes, the family is having a great time during the Chinese New Year. Who has the time to talk about work with you?

Liu's mother didn't want to get involved with the young couple. After taking care of the business in the store, she went back to her hometown in Jiangcheng to celebrate the New Year with Grandma Liu Yifei two days ago.

Aunt Zhao, the nanny, was also sent home for the holidays by Cheng Yuan, and agreed to come back to work on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Now the couple are the only ones left in the house.

Not long after Cheng Yuan sat down, the phone started ringing.

WeChat, SMS, and direct phone calls.

"Take it," Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Cheng Yu'an and said, "Every year during the New Year, we have to stop."

Cheng Yu'an pinched his wife's face, which was a little fat due to pregnancy, and walked aside to answer the phone and reply to the message.

"Zhang Ju, happy new year and happy new year."

"Mr. Wang, everything is fine at home."

"Mr. Ye, thank you for your hard work."

"Brother Qian'er, could you please take care of the racecourse? Take a good look, have a drink when you have time."

"Lao Director, the film hasn't been decided yet. I really don't have time for the spring new film promotion meeting. You are looking for the same thing as Zhi Xi and Sister Fang. They talk much more easily than I, the chairman, hahahaha."

After Cheng Yu'an had dealt with the domestic issues, he still had to establish relations with his partners in Japan and South Korea. The European and American companies also pretended to wish Cheng Yu'an New Year's greetings.
