In order not to offend lesbians, I have to add a certain word to this proposition, that is, in this small circle, in this small gang, it is nothing more than overt and covert competition.
This kind of thing is always boring, but Teacher Jiang works tirelessly to organize activities and introduce potential rookies to get started, let alone such new champions.
Cannes big stage, if you have a husband, come.
Liu Tianxian is just such a top scholar - he didn't think much of her before, after all, Fang Yi didn't get up either, but now both of them have gotten up, how can he leave the pearl behind?
I left my pearl behind, so why do I still seem to have authority in my wife's gang?
——The Mouton Cadet Bar, which was only opened this year, was very popular at this film festival. From here you can enjoy the charming view of the bay and you will not miss any opportunity to enjoy the sunset.
Producers and crews from different countries gathered here, chatting in pairs. Asian faces were relatively rare, and from time to time someone turned their attention to International Zhang and Jiang Wenli.
The two of them leaned back in their chairs and sipped red wine. Occasionally, International Chapter would be recognized and they would smile and raise their glasses, looking very comfortable.
"Liu Yifei is probably the youngest. I haven't thought that one day I would meet someone so young and on such an occasion... I have a niece who is younger than her and she used to work with Fang Yi.
But - she really had no vision at that time!"
While waiting for the guests, Jiang Wenli couldn't help but murmured a few words. Jiuji Zhang was listening beside her, also lost in thought.
Thanks to Jiang Zhiqiang's mediation and the international chapter's own reputation, the overseas rights to the film "The Favorite" were sold well, at least they were sold.
This is rare.
Yu Dong, the boss of Bernard Films, said, "You still recognize people in the Cannes market!" This means that foreigners don't bother to understand your plot. The key is whether you use faces they are familiar with. Ten managers can't even spit on one person.
A large poster of Jet Li from "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".
She is not as good as Jet Li in terms of international status, but among actresses, she is basically at the top.
Even if Guo Tianwang plays the male lead for him, it's all because of her promotion.
Even in France, many people know about her.
However, Senior Sister Zhang was still unwilling to give in.
She also asked Jiang Wenli: "Why don't you have any vision? Could it be that there was still a period at that time?"
Jiang Wenli: "If you ask me, if you encounter her, you really shouldn't let her go. My niece is still too young and too thin-skinned."
Of course Jiji Zhang didn't refute this, but she spoke eloquently, "What does your niece look like?"
Jiang Wenli thought about the Liu Yifei pictorial she saw today. She indeed looked much more beautiful. She was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Oh."
Finally, I would like to add, "If I had been her at that time, I would have been entangled with her anyway. If something happened to me, I would be settled later, which is better than having to deal with random people in the future."
Ji Ji Zhang agreed with this in his heart, but he curled his lips and said, "It's not too late."
What does that mean?
It's too late to pull out the tiger's teeth, and it's too late to pry the corner.
If these two were twenty years younger and had nieces, they would join the battle directly.
Jiang Wenli hits back at the International Chapter:
"Oh, woman, you still have to be discerning! You can't misjudge the wrong person, even the wrong foreigner. Otherwise, you will waste your good time and get nothing. It's all in vain. Tsk tsk - Nuo, the person is here.
"When she saw the rightful master from a distance, she immediately cheered and said with great enthusiasm:
Yifei, are you here?
But she didn't have time to say these words.
International Zhang was a little earlier than her, and he was also very enthusiastic. He not only stood up, but also took a step or two forward, "Yifei, come and sit here."
Seeing that they were both there, Liu Yifei became nervous and said bluntly: "I'm late."
Jiang Wenli took Liu Yifei's shoulder away, maintained her smile, and hugged her pretending to be surprised, "I arrived so early, I should have come to pick you up."
International Zhang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

On the other side, Fang Yi and Hao Bing were conducting interviews, but Director Fang had no one to attend to them.
The interview has come to an end.
Hao Bing is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Forbes" China, and occasionally guest reporters on important occasions. During these days in Cannes, in addition to interviewing the CEOs of various production companies, he also posted an article on his blog titled "Weird and Bizarre"
Cannes and Chinese Filmmakers—My Diary".
In fact, this is what he wanted to say.
As a somewhat thoughtful reporter, he had already made a conclusion before interviewing Fang Yi. No matter what Fang Yi said, he would understand it in the direction of his conclusion.
The entire blog post adopts the same news narrative style as the New York Times, that is, it first introduces the situation, then inserts so-called real-life interviews, as well as some specious and pros and cons views, and finally begins to output the conclusion.
People who have read this type of article or done level 4 or 6 reading should be able to smell this:
"The 64th Cannes Film Festival is already halfway through. Just as originally expected, the overall situation seems to be confirming the underlying pattern of "big year" and "small year". Except for a few movies that generally have poor reputations, most movies
They each gained a lot of support..."
"Chinese films are also quite prosperous in the Cannes market. We interviewed domestic film companies, the chairman of Star Pictures... and the chairman of Bernard Films... Nowadays, domestic film talents may have different views...
…”
"From a global market perspective, this temporary boom does not mean that the Chinese film market has entered its own era."
"Fang Yi?"
Hao Bing clicked on Fang Yi's movie, "The current trend is that Chinese movies are still dominated by ancient martial arts films overseas. Your film seems to be an exception. Your film is highly sought after in the Asian market, and it is not unpopular in other markets.
Wenjin, currently, it is probably the best mainland Chinese modern film to go overseas - do you think you are an exception?"
He paused to let Fang Yi understand what he emphasized, "Is this accident just because of you? Without you, there would be no exceptions, there would be no "Seventeen Again", and there would be no so-called best modern movies."
The film’s overseas success.”
In fact, it is not that the industry has not noticed this trend. The CEO of Xingmei said: "China is not good at making modern movies. It cannot be shot by others. People don't care about you. People only like to watch martial arts movies!"
This statement is straightforward enough, "If I don't care about you, your modern culture has no influence."
Fang Yi naturally wanted to be more tactful: "It's hard to say it now. It will always change in the future. It just takes a little time."
Hao Bing shook his head: "Your answer is an admission, but you can't say it like that. I won't change your words, but readers who read my article will definitely understand the current situation!"
Fang Yi can't open his eyes and tell lies. Unless he talks about modern movies, this is all he can say.
Hao Bing stood up and shook hands with him, staring at him, "Thank you for taking the time to be interviewed. I know it's not easy for you to work overtime..." The strength of holding Fang Yi's hand suddenly became stronger, "Actually, this happened when I came here.
I learned some interesting things.”
"What's the fun?"
He turned off the recorder.
"You know there are some agents in Cannes who claim to know a certain celebrity and can help you contact them, give them a chat, or even make an appointment... After I came here, I found that there are quite a few agents for you, and they all use the same low-level tactics.
It's a lie, saying there is a way to find you. But there are always people who fall for it, including people in China and abroad. This kind of thing happens too often, and I know you can't handle it."
He laughed and said, "I saw that your foreign fans were deceived. To be honest, I'm actually a little happy."
Fang Yi nodded: "What a happy way."
“On this beach, I don’t know how many movie-makers and young mainland Chinese people are willing to be deceived by foreigners for a little bit. You are the first one - even if the deceiver is an Asian, it is rare.
...Do you think I'm a pervert? I'm actually happy about this kind of thing, happy about such a bad thing."
Fang Yi didn't know what to answer and said, "Do I understand your national sentiment?" Who knew that Hao Bingguan had not turned off his voice recorder.
Hao Bing didn't need him to answer, and finally said: "Come on, you are really an exception. If I can't even cite exceptions in the future, then it will be boring for me to write articles."
Fang Yi could only nod. "No."

On the night of the 23rd, the selection of a series of awards was completed. The Chinese filmmakers who had been wandering around briefly contacted each other on the way to the airport, and then went back to their respective homes.
Although China Night was held with great fanfare and the red carpet was bustling, when it came to winning real awards, Chinese films really failed to win this time.
But this does not embarrass Han Sanping, he can still find progress.
General Secretary Han's eldest nephew wrote a press release to boast about the overseas achievements of Chinese films at this Cannes Film Festival. In fact, this was the reason why he came in person.
"Not only are the ancient martial arts films successfully exported, but our modern films are also successfully exported - the East is also foreign, and it must be counted."
His big head tilted and he asked, "Why doesn't it count?"
——Han Sanping commented on his achievements in the past three days.
Fang Yi joked: "Martial arts films have sold a lot, but modern films are the only one. I met a reporter from "Forbes" last night, and he asked me whether this was an accident of personal achievement, or whether it was true.
New hope was born.”
Han Sanping disagreed: "Your personal achievements are also our achievements; your accidents are also our hopes."
A further explanation: "When I held a director symposium before, I heard people like Jiang Wen and Yimou say that each generation has its own responsibilities and each generation has its achievements. Period films are the top priority.
It was pioneered by one generation. Your generation has your generation’s shooting methods. I’ve seen you now, and maybe I’ll see others in the future..."
Because the flight back to China is close, the crew of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Martial Arts" are also nearby. Zhen Kungfu himself is relatively introverted and not good at dealing with people. In addition, he is not very fluent in Mandarin. He just listens silently. Maybe he doesn't know Han Sanping.
of profound meaning.
The investor of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Yu Dong, and the director, Mr. Xu, immediately looked at it and understood that China Film Group had high expectations for Fang Yi, or that the pie was very big.
The two of them found an opportunity to come over and start chatting.
Fang Yi was chatting with each other - Liu Tianxian was also chatting with others, and Jiang Wenli was holding on to her, seemingly trying to push her into the director's "wives gang" camp.
That's indeed the case.
After all the nonsense was finished, in the blink of an eye, Fang and Liu had already taken a nap in the business class. They were flying together alone.
Fang Yi took off the blindfold and found Liu Tianxian reading her chicken-soup article.
Knowing that Fang Yi was awake, she folded and closed the page she was reading, "Coming to Cannes is a pleasure, but it's also quite tiring. Overall, it's better to stay at home, feed the dogs, and grow flowers."
Fang Yi thought about what happened in the past few days and replied: "Social entertainment is indeed troublesome and makes people uncomfortable."
She was convinced and opened the book again:
"The most unfair thing is that there is only a wife's gang and no father-in-law's gang - these ladies are still complacent and talk about their charioteer skills with great joy. They are really boring and have no future!"
Fang Yi shrugged: "They taught you some of this? If you are not satisfied, you can create a, uh... father-in-law gang?"
He looked Fang Yi up and down and said, "Then I can't bear to do it. I'd better lurk in the enemy camp."
