On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in France, Ronan and the crew of "When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door" participated in the opening ceremony of the 57th Cannes Film Festival.

As three world-renowned art film festivals, the attractiveness of the opening red carpet to stars can be imagined. The red carpet in front of Lumière Hall is really a gathering of heroes.

No, it may be more appropriate to describe it as a group of demons dancing around.

Needless to say, the guests who were invited normally and the creators of the competition unit videos, it is natural for these people to walk on the red carpet.

But after the Cannes Film Festival turned around in the early 1980s, the commercial atmosphere became stronger and more and more sponsors, so a large number of places were left for the red carpet ceremony every year to give it to sponsors and their spokespersons.

This is understandable, after all, the sponsors spent a lot of real money on the film festival.

Even art film festivals like Cannes still show the scene of having money being an old man everywhere.

Therefore, in addition to the guests invited by the sponsor, there are also many people who spend money to buy red carpet tickets.

It's not expensive, you can walk on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival opening for tens of thousands of euros.

During the festival, some movies premiered in the red carpet, and even cost only a few thousand euros.

The other side of the Pacific has not yet truly realized the role of the Cannes red carpet, but there have been endless people in the entertainment industry who are riding on the red carpet in the Western entertainment industry.

For example, Ronan saw a lot of carpet stars from Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe and Latin America.

These people are very easy to recognize, not because they are unfamiliar with their faces, but because they have their own cameraman.

Media reporters basically won’t pay attention to this group of people, but these people spend huge amounts of money on the red carpet and naturally want to promote the effect, so they simply bring their own cameramen to the stage.

There are always one or two cameramen around the carpets taking photos.

Moreover, the photos taken were absolutely excellent, making people who are not sure of the situation look like they think that the person in the photo is the center point of the red carpet.

This is one of the biggest features.

Another feature is that you are slow to leave after walking on the red carpet.

After all, it costs a lot and the opportunity is rare. If you don’t spend dozens of minutes on the red carpet, how can you recover your investment?

Ronan followed Will Smith and walked up the long steps of Lumiere's hall, security personnel were driving away a little star from Brazil. The other party had been in front of the steps for almost an hour and could not drive away no matter how hard he was.

When the beautiful photos of this person walking on the red carpet are sent back to Brazil, those who don’t know the inside story will naturally think that her influence has gone abroad and has become an international...

Nowadays, there are more and more strange things about the Cannes Film Festival.

Ronan walked up the long steps and happened to see a mess in the media area in front of Lumière Hall. He stopped and took a look. Then he realized that there was an entertainment reporter with a broken rhythm. While some actresses were taking photos, he got into her skirt directly.

Compared to the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscars’ red carpet is really child-level.

Because the little stars make a fuss and take the red carpet to gain prominence, the big stars are also unambiguous.

Many people are criticizing the little stars for their unlimited behavior on the red carpet of the film festival, but they don’t know that this is like the big stars.

The love of French men, Sophie Marceau, who is famous all over the world, appeared on the stage. When taking a photo in front of the steps, Aunt Sophie didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentionally, the shoulder strap on one side of the suspender skirt slipped down, and half of her chest appeared gorgeously in front of many camera lenses.

Although everyone is used to seeing Aunt Sophie's body in the movie, it still caused a sensation at this moment...

At this moment, countless carpet stars are probably shouting in their hearts: You are a world-class movie star and a famous artist who can gain prominence without regard for moral integrity. Why can't we go to the red carpet? You, Aunt Sophie, is a beautiful story, why is it a scandal to walk on the red carpet? Just because we are not as beautiful as you? A group of eyeball animals that only look at their appearance!

Can you do whatever you want if you are beautiful?

"Did you see clearly?" Will Smith asked suddenly.

Ronan did not answer and asked back, "Did you see clearly?"

Will Smith looked regretful: "No! If we had known we would stay in the media area for a while! That was Sophie Marceau, my dream lover."

"Go." Ronan encouraged directly: "Take out your courage to face the Williams sisters and go after them with confidence and boldness. Will, with your charm and Sophie Marceau's openness, it is not difficult to have a love affair."

Will Smith touched Zhaofeng's ear and said, "I'll try it if I have a chance another day."

When Ronan walked forward, he suddenly thought of a report about the Cannes Film Festival I had read: Why is Sophie Marceau always exposed on the red carpet?

Why? The answer is obvious.

Exposing the bottom, leaking the bear...

Sophie Marceau's skills in this area are similar to those of the big sister who once liked to drink milk in Hollywood.

I can only say that Sophie Marceau is the goddess in the wind.

Sophie Marceau is one of the rare women who conform to the aesthetics of Asia, Africa, Europe, America, and most people.

This is where the Cannes Film Festival is, the fusion of glitz, charm and controversy is its usual style.

Ronan came to the door of Lumiere Hall and saw a familiar face. The chairman of this jury is Quentin Tarantino, a genius director from Hollywood.

"Hello, Quentin." Ronan went over and shook hands with him: "I didn't expect that we would meet here."

Quentin Tarantino smiled and said, "I'm happy to see you, Ronan."

"Your movie "Kill Bill" last year was impressive." Ronan never forgot to poach: "Qentin, when will we be able to collaborate on a movie?"

Quentin Tarantino could only vaguely say: "There will be a chance in the future."

Ronan nodded and said, "I look forward to "Kill Bill 2."

In fact, for those who have been used to watching kung fu and martial arts movies, "Kill Bill" may not be very exciting, but a beautiful woman with long legs like Uma Thurman is indeed a bit novel in her mind.

"Kill Bill" has not had a very high box office, but the offline market response is very good.

Having said that, Quentin Tarantino's films have never been outstanding in the box office.

There was also Tilda Swinton from Hollywood in the judges, but Ronan didn't know her and had no interest in saying hello.

Entering the Hall of Lumiere, Ronan met several unexpected people.

"Good afternoon, Ronan." Navas of Lionsgate Pictures came over, followed by two people: "You are very familiar with these two, so I don't need to introduce them, right?"

Ronan saw the man wearing a white hat and the middle-aged director and chatted for a few words. No matter what, both sides had a happy cooperation.

Of course, Ronan didn't know whether the other party was happy or not, but Relativity Entertainment was very satisfied with that cooperation.

After chatting for a few words, Miss Lizao and Mr. Liu, the male lead, also came over, and Luo Nan also made a few polite words to them.

These people wanted to develop their network of personal connections in Cannes and soon went to other places.

Navas didn't leave.

"We are all old friends." Navas suddenly said: "Why don't the business split up by Yijiang Film Company? Ronan, you forgot that "Human Purge Plan" was a big sale by Lion Gate Pictures."

Ronan smiled and said, "I have always been very grateful to Lionsgate for its help to Shahai Entertainment, but Spielberg has also helped me a lot. I cannot refuse an elder."

Navas was speechless for a moment. Who doesn't know about Hollywood? Spielberg doesn't like Ronan Anderson.

But a long time ago, Yijiang Film's distribution business had already fallen into DreamWorks. Navas did not continue to get entangled and said, "Ronan, are you here this time you have any good videos?"

Ronan shook his head: "When Happiness Comes Knocks on the Door" produced by Shahai Entertainment participated in the competition unit. I came here to cheer for Will Smith."

"I know this movie." Navas asked, "When will it premiere?"

Ronan said: "Next Wednesday, there will be a small premiere, and you are welcome to attend."

Navas smiled and said, "If you have time, you will definitely support me." He also invited Ronan: "You are old friends with the two Mr. Zhang from the East. Lionsgate Films will release their new movie "The Horizontal" in North America. This time, "The Horizontal" has entered the screening stage and will premiere tomorrow. On behalf of Lionsgate Films, I invite you to participate."

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I should have time."

Navas is full of confidence: "Welcome to support you, this is a masterpiece that is even better than "Heroes".

Ronan shook hands with him: "Congratulations to Lionsgate Pictures for obtaining the North American copyright."

At that time, the two Zhang held a North American copyright bidding meeting for "The Horizon" in Hollywood, and Ronan also participated. He once offered $5 million, but the box office sales of "Hero" made two Zhang's new works popular. Lionsgate Pictures finally instantly sold out the audience with a copyright fee of $20 million, becoming the North American publisher of "The Horizon".

As for whether the investment can be recovered, no one can say now.

Ronan remembers very clearly that "Hero" is two of the best box office and commercial results in North America.

Having said goodbye to Navas, Ronan received a briefing for this Cannes Film Festival. He was not very interested in the opening film "Bad Education". While the film had not yet been screened, he once again watched the list of films participating in this Cannes Film Festival.

This is not only the videos participating in the competition units and screenings, but also the names of many videos entering the fair.

Like the previous Cannes Film Festivals, most of the names of the films in the briefing were very unfamiliar with Ronan, but Ronan also saw several familiar names.

For example, Korean director Park Chan-woo's "Old Boy", King of Sunglasses' "2046", Coen's "Old Woman Killer", and the island cartoon "Ghost in the Shell 2".

And Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911"!
