Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 78: Putting Eye Drops on Zhang Yimou (Subscribe!)
[Two million sales in seven days, pop star Xu Yi creates another miracle!]

【"Chinese Language" surpasses "The First Snow" to become the best-selling album of the year!】

[Once again, they performed ten songs, and the Chinese style swept across Asia! ]

Xu Yi leads the crew of "Love" and officially departs for Cannes!

Xu Yi was shortlisted for the main competition, and Zhang Yimou expressed his envy!

The last day of the May Day holiday.

It was also the day before the Golden Melody Awards ceremony.

Xu Yi flew to Cannes with the main actors of the "Love" crew, as well as several assistants and logistics staff.

Otherwise, he would find out that the Golden Melody Awards are over and he hasn’t been to Cannes yet.

That would be a bit embarrassing.

Although I look down on the Golden Melody Awards, there is no need to turn against them directly.

The Golden Melody Awards had previously hyped up the fact that he was unwilling to sign up.

He also took the opportunity to promote his upcoming trip to Cannes and his upcoming album.

It’s hard to say who wins and who loses, it can be considered a win-win situation.

Immediately after arriving in Cannes, Xu Yi gave everyone a few days off.

Apart from shopping, all other expenses were borne by the crew.

He also took Yan Xinchen to Cannes for a few days.

At the same time, this year's Golden Melody Awards also came to an end.

In the end, Jay Chou's album "Ye Huimei" won the Best Pop Vocal Album Award.

But other than that, nothing was gained.

As expected, Lu Zhongqiang won the Best Album Producer Award.

Afterwards, he immediately called Xu Yi and expressed his sincere gratitude.

Because he knew that if Xu Yi had not signed up.

So much so that the Golden Melody Awards organizing committee wanted to demonstrate their "fairness and justice".

Then no matter how good Xu Yi's album is, he will not be able to win this award!
What's more, although he was a producer in name only, he didn't actually contribute much.

Most of the things were done by Xu Yi himself.

If Xu Yi wants, he can call himself the producer!
Then at 5 pm local time on May 12, the 6th Cannes Film Festival officially opened.

The red carpet ceremony is definitely indispensable.

A number of domestic and foreign celebrities also made appearances.

And this time, in addition to Xu Yi's "Love", it was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

There is also "2046" by King of Sunglasses, which was also shortlisted for the main competition unit.

In addition, Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", although not shortlisted for the main competition unit, was shortlisted for the special screening unit.

So the King of Sunglasses also brought several main actors of "2046" - Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Gong Li, Liu Jialing, and Zhang Manyu.

And the main actors of "House of Flying Daggers" led by Zhang Yimou - Jin Chengwu, Hua Zai, and Zhang Ziyi.

They attended the opening ceremony and red carpet ceremony together.

Xu Yi's popularity and fame are of little use in Cannes.

But the film "Love" directed by him was successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit and is eligible to compete for the final grand prize "Golden Palm Award".

So I was also invited to the opening ceremony and red carpet ceremony.

However, several of the main actors in the crew are relatively old.

After flying thousands of miles from China to a foreign country, I was somewhat unable to adapt to the local climate.

So I don’t want to bother with anything.

So only Xu Yi brought Yan Xinchen to attend the opening ceremony and red carpet ceremony.

……

"Director Xu, nice to meet you."

Backstage, Gong Li saw Xu Yi and Yan Xinchen walking in. He hesitated for a moment, but still took the initiative to walk over.

After greeting Xu Yi, he also nodded to Yan Xinchen.

So much so that when Zhang Yimou from the "House of Flying Daggers" crew saw this scene, his face immediately changed!
"You're welcome, Sister Li."

Xu Yi also said with a smile.

Of course he knew that the reason why Emperor Gong came over to say hello was not because he was really that awesome.

Even if his album sales are high, Gong Li doesn't need to care too much about him since they are not in the same circle.

It's just that with his current status and popularity in the entertainment industry.

In addition, the director's film was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Gong Li certainly couldn't completely ignore him.

But the most important thing is that Zhang Yimou was also present at this time!

Needless to say, there is a grudge between these two people!

Since Xu Yi announced it, the director's film has been successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

The media then pulled out Zhang Yimou and compared him with him.

Because before this, Zhang Yimou had already announced that "House of Flying Daggers" would also participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival.

What was unexpected was that Zhang Yimou’s "House of Flying Daggers" was not shortlisted for the main competition unit!
This also caused the domestic media to immediately ridicule him harshly!
Zhang Yimou naturally couldn't accept this!
His partner Zhang Weiping has stood up many times and fired shots at Xu Yi in front of the media!
It is said that Xu Yi is deliberately trying to extort money from Zhang Yimou!
But he didn't think about the fact that Xu Yi's film had been shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Why bother to touch him, a director who can only sell his films in Cannes under the name of the special screening unit?

But if he is willing to be reasonable, he would not be Zhang Weiping anymore!
So at this time, Gong Li took the initiative to come over and say hello to Xu Yi.

It is obvious that this is a way to embarrass Zhang Yimou!
Then the two chatted casually for a few minutes, and Gong Li returned to the "2046" crew.

Just as Xu Yi thought, she just came here to put on a fuss for someone.

As for Xu Yi himself, he was not of much value in her eyes.

Unless Xu Yi can really win the Palme d'Or this time, then it will be worthy of her attention.

But this is obviously impossible!

Seeing Gong Li leave, Yan Xinchen beside Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The aura of Emperor Gong is so strong that I dare not even say a word..." Yan Xinchen said in a low voice.

But Xu Yi just smiled.

The so-called aura is simply because Emperor Gong has no demands on him.

But what if he had the resources she wanted?

Then she would be no different from other female stars in the entertainment industry!
But Xu Yi would definitely not say such words.

He also had to take care of this Senior Sister Yan's face...

Then Xu Yi looked around.

Before the red carpet ceremony, celebrities basically gather together.

It's just a different form of appearance.

For example, at the Oscars, the backstage is quite far from the red carpet.

When the stars appear, a special car will be sent to pick them up.

The Cannes Film Festival certainly can't compare with the Oscars in terms of spending money.

Fortunately, the backstage is large enough and it doesn’t seem crowded.

Then Xu Yi saw several "familiar faces" among these stars.

For example, the King of Sunglasses from the "2046" crew, as well as Tony Leung, Gong Li, Liu Jialing, and Zhang Manyu.

On the other side, there is Zhang Yimou from the "House of Flying Daggers" crew, as well as two handsome guys, Jin Chengwu and Andy Lau.

There is also the beautiful Zhang Ziyi.

And Zhang Ziyi is just 25 years old!
So much so that after seeing her, Xu Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up immediately!
Compared with the female stars of the previous generation such as Gong Li, Liu Jialing and Zhang Manyu, it is obvious that the young Zhang Ziyi is more attractive to him!

Not only that, when Xu Yi was looking at these people, these people were also discussing and looking at Xu Yi.

But apart from Gong Li, no one came over to greet him.

But this is normal.

His age and qualifications are there.

He didn't go over to say hello to these senior bigwigs.

Instead, he was waiting for these senior bigwigs to come over and say hello to him.

It is simply a rebellion against Tiangang!

Not to mention that there are people on both sides who dislike him!

On one side is Liang Chaowei!
He has long disliked Xu Yi, the pretty boy who has been in the spotlight recently!

On the other side is Zhang Yimou!
He has kept in mind all the media reports during this period!

Even Andy, who originally wanted to come over and say hello, finally gave up the idea.

For Andy Lau, it doesn't matter whether he saves face or not.

He doesn't mind being humble to anyone he thinks is worth associating with.

There's nothing to lose anyway.

Given his current status, it is impossible for ordinary people not to give him face.

But if he offended Zhang Yimou in order to make friends with Xu Yi.

That's not worth it in his opinion!

And Zhang Ziyi was also secretly looking at Xu Yi.

But she also didn't dare to offend Zhang Yimou...

At this time, the red carpet ceremony officially began.

It is not popular to walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival nowadays. At most, some stars will do it to become famous.

For example, deliberately stepping on a skirt and falling down.

The worst that could happen was just exposing a little snow.

These are common practices abroad.

So the red carpet ceremony went very smoothly.

At the same time, because it is a film festival, the film crews shortlisted for the main competition unit will be arranged to perform last.

Then when it was the turn of the "House of Flying Daggers" crew to appear, Zhang Yimou's face immediately changed!
Because Xu Yi had not appeared yet, he appeared first.

Doesn’t that mean that his status is not as good as Xu Yi?
But who made him not be shortlisted for the main competition unit?

But he also wanted to sell "House of Flying Daggers" for a good price at the Cannes Film Festival.

So I can only comfort myself in my heart.

While walking onto the red carpet with gritted teeth.

Then it was the turn of the film crew from the main competition unit to appear.

Because Xu Yi has no experience in the film industry.

Popularity and fame don't work in Cannes either.

Therefore, the order of appearance is relatively early.

Xu Yi didn't care about this.

Since you have chosen to attend the film festival, you naturally have to abide by other people's rules.

So he took Yan Xinchen with him and walked out from the backstage.

Then the two people who just walked onto the red carpet immediately attracted the attention of all the reporters!

Especially Xu Yi, he is so handsome!

And too young!

The most important thing is, according to the host’s introduction, this handsome guy is also a director!

Directors who can be shortlisted for the main competition unit!

So much so that these foreign reporters didn’t even know Xu Yi!

I still picked up the camera and started taking pictures like crazy!

Not to mention those domestic journalists!

Compared with King of Sunglasses and Zhang Yimou, Xu Yi undoubtedly gets more attention!
