The young couple originally came to Cannes with a relaxed attitude like traveling. After Wang Jiawei's advice during breakfast, they learned the importance of whether "Hope" won the award or not. The invisible pressure that suddenly appeared put a layer of pressure on the two of them.
A light haze.
But at least in the rules that appear to be relatively fair on the surface, whether a work can be promoted is based on quality. They just hope that their work can withstand the competition, but in the end they can only leave it to fate whether they win or not.
On someone else's home court abroad in Europe, no matter how stressful the situation is, it will not help. The young couple thought of this and adjusted their mentality. According to Liu Yifei's words: "Why do you think so much? Go to sleep."
Instead of having complex thoughts that are difficult to understand, it is better to have a comfortable sleep.
This is also Liu Yifei's unique style: "There is nothing that a good sleep cannot solve."
His girlfriend was so free and easy, what else could Chu Xuan say, the young couple put on their pajamas and fell asleep.
As the time goes by, more and more stars, directors and other industry insiders from various countries are coming to and from the hotel. This seems to indicate that tonight's Cannes will be another star-studded event full of international nature.
"Dong dong dong..." At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Xiaoli knocked on the door to wake up the young couple.
A makeup artist walked in and took care of Chu Xuan's makeup.
Another makeup artist followed Liu Yifei into Liu Xiaoli's room to take care of Liu Yifei's makeup.
There was only one dressing table in one room, so the young couple was forced to live separately.
Chu Xuan is a simple man. He only needs to put on a little makeup, change his hairstyle, and put on a black suit. This is also the standard outfit for most male celebrities on the red carpet.
The makeup artist was interested in giving Chu Xuan some trendy elements, such as eye shadow, but Chu Xuan decisively refused.
The makeup artist said that this was in line with European and American aesthetics, and Chu Xuan apologized, but it was not in line with his aesthetics and not his style.
When Chu Xuan came to the room opposite, Liu Yifei had changed her clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table. The makeup artist was applying makeup for her.
A set of pleated skirt with a white background and bare arms and neck, a pair of pink gold high heels with a triangular tip on the front, a small lady's clutch with white gold edges, and one with Chu Xuan
The Buddhist pendant I purchased is what Liu Yifei wears on the red carpet.
It looks very simple, but there is pure and elegant beauty everywhere.
When Liu Yifei heard Chu Xuan approaching, Mu Ran turned her head and raised her eyebrows at him: "Does it look good?"
Chu Xuan glanced at his mother-in-law and joked: "I'm so close to my aunt."
Liu Xiaoli crossed her arms and looked at her daughter's makeup in the mirror behind her. When she heard her son-in-law's praise for her, she looked at Chu Xuan and said, "Want to add chicken drumsticks again?"
"Hahaha..." Liu Yifei, Zeng Ni, Caitlin and the makeup artist couldn't help laughing. This family is always so interesting and fun.
Waiting for Liu Yifei to finish her makeup, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Escorted by Liu Xiaoli and Zeng Ni, the young couple took the elevator downstairs, greeting domestic artists they knew along the way, and walked to the street after leaving the hotel.
There is an endless row of business cars parked on the side of the street, all of which are arranged by Cannes for the artists and directors who are walking the red carpet in the hotel.
Assistant Zeng Ni called and took the young couple along the roadside to find the commercial vehicle assigned to them. She checked the identity plate with the driver and sent the young couple to the car.
"See you in the evening." Liu Xiaoli and Zeng Ni waved goodbye. It was a young couple walking on the red carpet. There was no need for them to follow them. The tickets they got corresponded to another entrance of the exhibition hall.
The opening ceremony is not an awards ceremony, but more like an entertainment party.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei don't need to gather with Wen Muye and others to walk on the red carpet, they can just go their separate ways.
Although there are no rules in Cannes as to who must walk alone and who must walk with whom, on the red carpet of such an international film festival, stars are basically walking alone, each with the intention of attracting media attention to her alone.
People who can walk together on the red carpet are usually either lovers or couples, or they are fake couples in the hype.
The French driver looked through the rearview mirror of the car and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in the back seat. Although these two young people seemed to be a good match, for a moment it was unclear whether they were a real couple, a fake couple, or something else.
relation.
He originally wanted to chat with these two people, but they still had to wait for a while before their red carpet event, and it was boring to have nothing to do, but he gave up thinking that there was probably a language barrier between the two parties.
"We came out at No. 125," Liu Yifei said.
Chu Xuan looked at her and understood the meaning of her words.
If it were at a domestic TV festival, even if they were not the first to open or the last finale, they would still be among the top ten first artists to appear.
Now in Cannes, we can only rank 125th, which is no different from those with more than 200 or 300. Anyway, the large group of people in the middle are not taken seriously by Cannes and have little international influence.
There is such a big gap between China and abroad. It would be false to say that we are not disappointed. No matter how good the mentality is, people will always have a little vanity.
But the current factual situation is like this, and he can only look to the future: "It will be fine in the future."
"Hmm." Liu Yifei said softly. She still had to wait a long time, so she was ready to take a short rest.
Seeing that she was a little tired, Chu Xuan also said, "Take a nap."
Liu Yifei nodded, lowered her head and wanted to rest on Chu Xuan's shoulder, but she remembered that her face was covered with makeup, so she raised her head again, and rested her head on the back of the seat with her eyes closed to take a nap.
But the moment she closed her eyes, she opened them again because Chu Xuan was looking at her, with an inexplicable smile on her lips.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked coquettishly.
Chu Xuan raised his hand and stroked Liu Yifei's hair, and pushed the hair around her right ear behind her ear: "Doesn't it look good to you?"
Liu Yifei smiled slightly, and Chu Xuan's eyes lit up when he saw her dressed in the room. She knew that her appearance must be in line with Chu Xuan's heart, and she was very happy in her heart.
Now when she heard what Chu Xuan said, she raised her head and gave Chu Xuan a kiss.
She took Chu Xuan's hand and clasped it with her fingers, and leaned on the back of the seat again to rest with her eyes closed.
The driver saw this scene through the rearview mirror and immediately concluded that this was a real couple. He couldn't help but praise in French: "It's so romantic."
Hearing the driver's voice, Liu Yifei immediately opened her eyes. She let go of Chu Xuan's hand, took out a piece of paper from her bag, and helped Chu Xuan wipe the pink lipstick at the corner of his mouth, which she had just kissed.
The driver hasn't spoken since getting on the bus. She actually forgot that there was another driver in front of her, which was quite funny.
Chu Xuan also found it funny. The driver had no sense of presence. He just suddenly muttered something that he didn't know what he was talking about, and he didn't understand it either.
After experiencing this little episode, the sheer amount of fun made Liu Yifei no longer tired, and she chatted with Chu Xuan all over the place.
As the car started, the young couple cheered up and got ready to walk on the red carpet.
…
It was six o'clock in the afternoon and the sky was still bright.
The square in front of an exhibition hall in Paris was bustling with people.
There are police to maintain order, media from various countries, and even more people who come after hearing the news.
The square in front of the entrance to the exhibition hall was crowded with people. An air police officer patrolling in a helicopter looked down and could not find a normal path through the crowd.
Only the red carpet avenue leading to the entrance of the exhibition hall, surrounded by crowds, seemed empty and dazzling.
Most of the people are Europeans, but there are also some Asians and a small number of Chinese students.
"I wonder if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will come."
"It should come."
""Hope" has been shortlisted. They are the male and female protagonists, so they will definitely come."
"You must come, I'm just here for them."
Among this small group of overseas Chinese students, it is obvious that some are fans of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and came specifically for them.
In addition to these international students who are waiting for the arrival of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, there are also some domestic media who are very interested in Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Not only because of the high popularity of the two people in China, but also because among the shortlisted works in Cannes this year, whether it is a movie, short film or other competition unit, only "Hope" from China has been successfully shortlisted.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the male and female protagonists of "Hope". This special situation naturally makes the domestic media pay more attention to them.
Of course, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Zou Xun, Li Zhengyi, Fan Zhilin, Guan Zhilin and others on the red carpet are also worthy of taking pictures.
These people have all been to Cannes many times. It was also expected by the media that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, who were visiting Cannes for the first time, appeared before them.
It's just that some celebrities have always liked to act like monsters in the past, such as wearing a "bellyband" on the red carpet, or wearing a skirt that is so hollow that you want to expose your whole body.
Foreign media may look at this with curiosity.
But in the eyes of domestic media like them, this is a bit unacceptable.
As public figures in China, they also represent the country's image to a certain extent when they appear abroad.
All these bells and whistles are done to please the overseas entertainment industry, regardless of the feelings of the domestic market and even fans.
The media also know that many celebrities have no control over what they wear on the red carpet, and it is all strictly regulated by their agencies for their own benefit.
But for celebrities with high status, they definitely have autonomy in this aspect.
If you still have the autonomy to do this, this is a bit admiring foreign things.
The public only knows superficially about the moral character of celebrities with higher status, while the media have a deeper understanding.
Looking at the scene of flowers blooming on the red carpet in the camera, some domestic celebrities were still stopping in front of the camera to pose in various ways, and the security guards couldn't pull them away. They were speechless and felt a bit embarrassed by the Chinese people.
This is not only true for Chinese stars, but also for some foreign stars. They wear all kinds of incomprehensible clothes and have heavy makeup that makes it difficult to see their human faces. Although they can be used as good material for reports, the feelings deep inside are also
Tell them, this is very eye-catching.
At this moment, even though they have seen many such scenes, they also hope that their eyes can be purified.
"Concubine Chu Xuan and Liu Yi are here!"
A small sound of surprise came from somewhere in the crowd. Although it was covered up by the noisy discussion, it was clearly caught in the ears of many people.
The foreign media were unmoved, but the domestic media all turned their cameras around. This made the foreign media next to them a little confused. They guessed that there was another big star from China?
At the red carpet entrance, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei appeared and walked over.
One person wears a black suit and the other person wears a pure white pleated skirt.
Liu Yifei holds the bag in her right hand and holds Chu Xuan's right arm with her left hand.
The two of them walked away in style, with Chu Xuan occasionally waving his left hand to say hello, while Liu Yifei looked left and right, saying hello with a smile.
When the foreign media saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, their eyes lit up.
Among the more than 100 people in front of them, there were many international superstars, but without exception there were no male or female groups. Even couples such as Chen Kaige and Chen Hong, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li all left one after another.
Now there is a young couple who is suspected to be a couple or husband and wife. Judging from the performance of the Chinese media, it is obvious that this pair of celebrities are very famous in China, which makes them interested and they all turn their cameras to take pictures.
"Liu Yifei is so beautiful!" came a voice from the crowd.
The Chinese media laughed, in their high-definition footage...
Liu Yifei doesn't wear heavy makeup like others, she only wears a light makeup with a little pink;
It's not like her who bares her back, breasts and thighs, but only bares her arms to show the elegance of a classical beauty;
It's not like she is wearing something incomprehensible, just a simple and elegant pleated skirt with white background.
It's not like she has a complicated and unpredictable hairstyle, it's just the same long hair shawl as in recent years.
It's so simple, it's so pure, but it's so different and unique in this red carpet where everyone is competing for beauty.
This is the beauty that uniquely belongs to Liu Yifei, and it is also her simple and pure style.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I finally washed my eyes." Many media people thought in their hearts.
When Liu Yifei heard the news, she didn't expect that she still had fans in France. She smiled happily.
Chu Xuan looked at her side face and her temperament when walking, what is the saying in "Luo Shen Fu"?
It's as graceful as a startled dragon, like a swimming dragon.
He believed that this sentence was very suitable for Liu Yifei in front of him.
There is also a beautiful line in "Ode to the Goddess of Luo", which is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow like the flowing wind.
This sentence is very artistic, but when Chu Xuan had the idea of this sentence, he felt that the word was very soft and different from the appearance and temperament of Liu Yifei in front of him.
Chu Xuan saw Liu Yifei's soft hair and smelled the faint fragrance wafting from her body.
He thought about it again and slightly changed this sentence in his mind: The green hair is like a firefly flowing through the moon, and the skin is as green as the fragrance of the snow.
"Perfect." He praised in his mind.
"Chu Xuan is so handsome!" Fans of overseas Chinese students shouted.
"Golden boy and beautiful girl!" the Chinese people next to him couldn't help but add this sentence.
In the lens of the media cameras, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled back, without any pause or nostalgia from beginning to end, until they walked into the entrance of the exhibition hall and disappeared.
The domestic media feel very comfortable. This is their national couple. They go in pairs wherever they go. They are being themselves at all times. They are as confident as ever and exude unique charm with full personality no matter where they are. .
The foreign media were also deeply impressed by these two new faces. They also felt the differences between these two young stars. Perhaps these two stars have their own uniqueness, waiting for them to have the opportunity to dig deeper.
…
The opening ceremony of Cannes is a large-scale party, but what is different from ordinary parties is that all the people who can perform here are international celebrities.
A musical full of art, a thought-provoking drama, a shocking symphony...
One stage performance after another is in line with the literary and artistic atmosphere of Europe.
For Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, it was a rare world-class performance for free.
But at the same time, as it gets later and later, the young couple have a common feeling: "I'm so hungry."
In the splendid and luxurious hall theater, everyone is admiring art, applauding elegance, and everyone puts on a mask of hypocrisy. They pretend to understand even if they don’t understand and make comments with others, whether they understand or not. I also nodded my head after reading the review.
Only Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were worried about their stomachs. It was not easy to leave early in such an occasion. They could only look at each other and smile from time to time to express their helplessness of being hungry and unable to eat immediately.
The foreigners nearby didn't know what they were laughing at. They just thought that these two Chinese people were infected by their European art, and they felt proud in their hearts.
"This is our art, which comes from the Victorian era." A French media person said proudly, and deliberately used English for fear that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei would not understand.
The sudden words made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei slightly stunned. They looked at the play on the stage. Was it from the Victorian era?
The Victorian era began in the early 19th century, less than 200 years ago. What's there to be proud of?
The young couple is thinking that one day they will take this person to the Chinese Museum to see their chimes and tell him that they come from the Bronze Age of China 5,000 years ago. It will scare you to death.
I thought so, but Liu Yifei still gave a thumbs up: "nice!"
Seeing that Liu Yifei recognized their culture, this French media person's inner vanity was satisfied, and she smiled very politely and gentlemanly.
"How long will it take for the party to end?" Chu Xuan asked.
The French media person regretted: "This is the last one. You can only go to major theaters to watch such a performance, and if it is performed by the masters on the stage, there will only be a few performances a year."
Chu Xuan looked pityful: "It's such a pity. This performance is so beautiful that I can't bear to leave."
The French media person smiled deeply: "I didn't expect that you Chinese people have such a high level of aesthetics. If there is a chance these days, I can take you to appreciate other arts."
At this moment, the opening ceremony was all over.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were so happy that they could finally go back to the hotel for dinner.
They haven't eaten anything since they woke up in the afternoon until eleven o'clock in the evening. They are really hungry.
After hearing what this man said, Chu Xuan said kindly: "Next time I will definitely do it."
Immediately, Chu Xuan took Liu Yifei's hand and left in a hurry.
