Two days later, He Xin, through his girlfriend's prompt on the phone, found in his email the last report she had sent to him, in which a rookie reporter named Fang Yimin interviewed him and it had been published in the newspaper.
Title: "Congratulations on the Cannes Film Festival: I don’t think it’s anything special"
When he saw this title, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: What a stupid title!
Our reporter connected with Cannes, France:
He Xin and Zhang Ziyi flew to Cannes with the dreams and hopes of the Chinese people, so we became more concerned than ever about the holy place in the hearts of filmmakers, the French seaside town of Cannes.
What was it like after He Xin and Zhang Ziyi arrived in Cannes?
How will "Purple Butterfly" perform?
Can Zhang Ziyi get into the "back seat"?
Can "Purple Butterfly" win Cannes?
Hey, why didn't you say whether He Xin could ascend to the "emperor's throne"?
Seeing this, He Xin couldn't help but curl his lips. This was clearly showing that he didn't think highly of himself!
Let’s continue reading:
Yesterday, a reporter from a Japanese newspaper got in touch with He Xin who was in Cannes through He Xin's girlfriend Cheng Hao and obtained first-hand information.
The reporter dialed the number of the Hexin French Hotel, and heard the sweet but unfamiliar voice of the operator. It turned out that the reporter had forgotten that the people there spoke French, which we did not understand, so the reporter had to tell the operator what he wanted in English.
room number.
After a few rings, He Xin's familiar voice came out: "Hello!"
The reporter hurriedly identified himself and even deliberately moved Cheng Hao out for fear that He Xin would refuse the interview. However, He Xin's attitude was quite good: "We took off from Shanghai at 2:30 yesterday afternoon and took a 12-hour flight to Paris.
I waited for five hours at the Paris airport, then took a two-hour flight to Nice, and then took the car provided by the organizing committee to Cannes. It had only been more than an hour since I entered the room."
Reporter: Is there any special feeling when you set foot in Cannes?
He Xin: It’s nothing. I was here last year, but this year it seems more lively and crowded than last year. But in my eyes, foreigners all look the same, and I don’t really like communicating with others, so I don’t like talking to others.
I didn't think there was anything special.
Reporter: What hotel are you staying at?
He Xin: We stayed at the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel opposite the Cinema Palace, which is considered a very famous hotel in the local area.
Reporter: So what are your plans for today?
He Xin: There are no plans for today. After all, everyone is tired from the journey and needs to rest and catch up on jet lag and so on.
Reporter: I heard that many foreign reporters are very enthusiastic about you and Zi Yi, and even stay at the airport and hotel.
He Xin: Yes, I saw these foreign reporters. This was something I didn't expect. They were very enthusiastic and even called us by our names.
Seeing this, He Xin felt a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that the girl published her original words word for word.
Reporter: After being on a plane for so long, it’s time to take a rest, right?
He Xin: No, director Xiaoshuai also has a work shortlisted for Un Certain Regard this time. They arrived earlier than us and stayed near our hotel. They just called and asked me to get together. I will
It's time to go out.
Reporter: It’s so late. How is the security there?
He Xin: (laughing) It’s broad daylight here, it’s just noon!
Reporter (sweating furiously), okay, the reporter was really busy and forgot about the time difference.
…
Unfortunately, before the reporter could ask the next question, there was a knock on the door, and the connection between the reporter and He Xin could only go so far.
I hope "Purple Butterfly" will fly higher and higher in Cannes!
Reporter: Fang Yimin
He Xin finally understood. This girl must have recorded the phone call when she interviewed him. What he said in the report was almost word for word.
Although this report is very straightforward, it does not contain the reporter's own feelings and comments that often appear in previous entertainment reports. Especially, there is a bit of a young woman's playfulness between the lines, which is quite novel.
This girl named Fang Yimin is just a rookie who just graduated from college last year. When "Pink Girl" became popular in the Bay Area, she had a good interview process and wrote two reports praising her, successfully gaining the favor of her girlfriend.
.
This time He Xin came to Cannes to participate in the film festival, and his girlfriend actually dared to go to Guangzhou, where the epidemic is still serious, to promote her new drama, and she met a rookie reporter who came to interview, so this report was born.
He Xin rarely accepts interviews, mainly out of shyness. He would feel embarrassed when talking about his experiences or bragging to a stranger. Sometimes he would stare blankly when faced with questions asked by reporters.
I don't know how to answer at all.
More often than not, Sister Hong comes forward, draws up the outline of the interview, and then follows the script. Sometimes the same words are repeated over and over again, which inevitably makes it very annoying.
If his girlfriend hadn't come forward this time, even if this rookie reporter could get the phone number of his room, he might not be able to interview him. As soon as he picks up the phone and hears that the caller is a reporter, he often calls immediately
Will decline politely.
When he was on the phone with Diamondback that day, it was Sister Hong who knocked on the door and asked him if he wanted to go out for dinner together.
He was finally not alone when he came to the film festival this time. The infectious disease that was raging in Beijing made it rare for the always busy Sister Hong to have some leisure time. This time he followed He Xin to attend the Cannes Film Festival, not so much to help but to come.
travel.
Originally, before setting off, they were worried about whether they would be tested and quarantined, but as a result, the French didn't care at all and everything went as usual.
Although he brought an agent this time, it was still nothing compared to Zhang Niangniang. Not only did he have an agent, an assistant, a professional makeup artist, but he even brought a private photographer to take various photos for her.
Beautiful photos.
That day, He Xin and Wang Xiaoshuai made an appointment to meet at the same lobster restaurant that he had visited several times last year. When he went there again this time, the boss actually recognized him and kept doing it with his thumbs up.
Play the violin to show that you have watched the movie "The Little Seamstress".
When Wang Xiaoshuai came over, he also had Duan Yihong, the leading actor of "Second Brother" with him. It's just that the old Duan was quite embarrassed to see him this time because he heard that the TV series "Proof of Memory" he had just finished filming not long ago
"In the film, for the role of the leader of the Kuomintang that I played, He Xin was originally cast as the actor.
He thought he had stolen He Xin's role. It wasn't until they met this time that he realized he had misunderstood.
However, He Xin still asked with great interest about the filming situation of this drama. Duan's expression was quite helpless at that time. The filming period of this drama was very long. It was filmed from August last year until it was shut down before the Spring Festival this year.
The filming period of a TV series with less than thirty episodes is longer than that of "Dragon Movie".
In fact, the long shooting cycle and difficult shooting conditions are nothing to the old Duan who is obsessed with acting. He even eats a cucumber every day just to feel hungry. But the only thing that makes him uncomfortable is the actor who plays opposite him.
He is a Korean, and he is very funny.
As for the red carpet on the second night, due to the outbreak of the Iraq War, many Hollywood stars including Catherine Zeta Jones, George Clooney, and Uma Thurman expressed concerns about their personal safety.
The scene at the Munich Olympics was repeated and she used this as an excuse to refuse to attend. This year's star has been dimmed a lot.
Fortunately, there are still many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this year's jury, including former Miss World, Indian actress Ashviya Rai, old American sweetheart Meg Ryan, and new Hollywood boss Steven Soderbergh.
, as well as Chinese best actor Jiang Wen, etc. The chairman of the jury is French director Patrice Gerard.
Although Jiang Wen was dressed in a black dress when he took the stage, and even wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His pretentious image was very novel, but what surprised He Xin the most was that the host of the opening ceremony turned out to be Monica Bellu.
strange.
Big black waves, sexy lips, deep blue eyes, plump and shapely figure, that is the Malena who will always be in his heart!
