Kang Jianfei brought a total of seven people over, in addition to the actor Liang Jiahui thought, there were also bodyguard Liu Fei and five staff members.

In recent years, DreamWorks' tentacles have been extended to Europe. It has a subordinate distribution company in Paris, which is responsible for the distribution company of DreamWorks films throughout Europe, called DreamWorks (Europe) Distribution Company. The name sounds very loud, but in fact, the entire company plus the sweeping staff only has more than ten employees.

"Mr. Kang, let's go to the hotel first." Zheng Chunhua asked for instructions.

This Zheng Chunhua is an employee of the DreamWorks (Europe) distribution company. He came to Cannes to be a guide for Kang Jianfei and his party. Of course, he also worked part-time as a translator.

Zheng Chunhua had already contacted the three taxis. After everyone got in the car, he said to the three drivers one by one: "Hotel Martinez, thank you!"

Kang Jianfei was sitting in the middle car, and the driver asked curiously, "A Japanese who came to the Cannes Film Festival?"

Kang Jianfei couldn't understand French, so he could only ask Zheng Chunhua for help: "What did he say?"

Zheng Chunhua smiled and said, "This driver thought we were Japanese."

Kang Jianfei pouted, too lazy to explain where he came from. It's not about national discrimination. After 20 years, a lot of Chinese stars will come to Cannes every year. Naturally, French drivers will no longer ask if they are Japanese, but Japanese may be asked if they are from China.

Because of the existence of international film festivals, the seaside town of Cannes is particularly lively in early summer each year, and high-end hotels like Martinez have to be booked months in advance to live in.

From tomorrow onwards, Kang Jianfei will have to bring his people to set up a booth for the exhibition, but there are special people responsible for the work of setting up the stage and contacting him, but he is the most idle one.

There is no threshold for registration at the Cannes Film Festival. Primary school students can apply for a movie with a DV for the film Ant Moves, but whether they can be selected or not depends on the judges of the film festival.

From registration, review samples, review. And then to the final confirmation, the entire registration process for the Cannes Film Festival takes several months. Kang Jianfei sent out the sample film three months ago, and the subsequent review and confirmation were actually just going through the motions. It was only necessary to take out the screening copy two weeks before the start of the film festival.

A rookie director wants to be in competition at Cannes. The odds are similar to buying a lottery ticket. And those very famous directors. Their works were selected when the film was launched, because the festival needed them to expand their influence.

certainly. There are also directors who, for various reasons, did not invite the film festival organizing committee at all.

Kang Jianfei is more or less an internationally renowned director, and many movies have been shown in Europe and the United States. The reason why the Cannes Film Festival warmly accepted him is mainly because of Kang Jianfei's great reputation in Asia. Can help Cannes Film Festival expand its influence in Asia.

That is to say, Kang Jianfei doesn't have to worry about whether "Fang Fang" can be shortlisted, because this has been decided by default when the film first started shooting.

Of course, being shortlisted doesn't mean you can win an award. Today, thousands of films are registered at the Cannes Film Festival every year, of which less than 50 are shortlisted, and only a few can really win in the main competition unit.

"Fang Fang" was announced as a finalist for the main competition unit more than half a month ago. At that time, Kang Jianfei had just finished the later stage. Now the jury at the Cannes Film Festival is organizing the final round of judging, basically until two days before the awards ceremony to judge all the awards.

...

The film festival booth of "Fang Fang" was set up quickly. Kang Jianfei did not pay attention to the attention of some small directors, and it was very straightforward for people to use large-scale stills as the wall of the booth.

The booth is not set up yet. Liang Jiahui, who participated in the International Film Festival for the first time, couldn't wait to run to the aisle and hand out a film brochure when he saw people.

Kang Jianfei called Liang Jiahui back and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so impatient, right?"

Liang Jiahui said a little embarrassed: "I just want to let a few more people know about our movie."

"Don't worry about the publicity, I have made arrangements. Today, Sophie Marceau was deliberately not allowed to show up." Kang Jianfei said confidently.

Liang Jiahui asked inexplicably: "In the whole crew, Sophie is the most famous in France. I think it is the most suitable for her to be the focus of publicity."

"Of course she is the center of propaganda, but sometimes it's more mysterious to not show up." Kang Jianfei said, after returning to the booth, he leisurely flipped through French magazines.

When the booth was first set up, no one paid any attention to the Asians, but when Sophie Marceau's image appeared in the stills, several French journalists quickly gathered.

The fish is hooked!

One of the French reporters asked in English: "Is this Sophie Marceau's new film? Who is the director of this film?"

Kang Jianfei sat behind the booth and didn't move. He had already contacted several media in France, and after the movie premiered, he would help hype it up. He didn't need to be too enthusiastic about the passing reporters in front of him.

When Liang Jiahui saw a reporter coming to ask questions, he immediately became happy and distributed several film brochures to several reporters, introducing: "Our film is called "Fang Fang", and it has been shortlisted for the main competition unit."

"Oh, so you are the crew of "Fangfang", and you are Director Kang Jianfei?" one of the reporters said happily. The shortlist for the film festival was announced more than half a month ago, and entertainment reporters like them also studied it.

However, the shortlist of the Cannes Film Festival is not a nomination, only the name, origin and director of the shortlisted film will be announced, so now these reporters only know that "Fang Fang" is a Hong Kong film made by Kang Jianfei, and they have no idea who the starring is.

Liang Jiahui avoided him, pointed at Kang Jianfei and said, "This is Director Kang."

I have to say that although Kang Jianfei is famous in France, few can recognize him.

Kang Jianfei stood up slowly, and the reporter shook hands with him happily and said, "Kang, I'm Stefan, a reporter from the "Marseille Film Xunbao", I like to watch your "A Chinese Ghost Story", it's simply amazing. Can I do an interview with you?"

"There's no need for an exclusive interview. I think I can answer your questions here." Kang Jianfei smiled politely, directly rejecting the tabloid's exclusive interview.

"Okay," the reporter named Stefan pointed to the poster and asked, "Kang, is Miss Marceau the heroine of your new film?"

Several other reporters also came over. They were not focusing on Kang Jianfei, but Sophie Marceau who appeared on the poster.

"Of course, it's clearly written on the movie brochure in your hands." Kang Jianfei pointed to the brochure in Stefan's hand and said.

Only then did a few reporters remember to flip through the brochures, and after a few glances, another reporter asked, "Kang, can you reveal a little more?"

"About the movie?" Kang Jianfei asked.

"Of course," said one reporter, "and why did you choose Sophie Marceau as the heroine?"

Kang Jianfei said: "Does the director need a reason to choose a heroine? As for the content of the film, I can only say that this is a literary romance, and Miss Sophie Marceau will appear naked in the film."

"Show naked!"

Several reporters stared at Kang Jianfei in unison to see ~lightnovelpub.net~ The pure French kiss, the goddess in the eyes of countless French men, actually appeared naked in a Chinese director's film.

Simply blasphemous!

Instead of getting angry, the reporters were excited because it was good news that could cause a conversation.

On the second day after the "Fang Fang" crew set up their booth, several French media began to report on the matter. And righteously rebuked shameful Chinese directors, believing that Kang Jianfei had brought their pure French kiss to depravity.

It really was a good gimmick, and a whole bunch of newspapers cursed Kang Jianfei. Several newspapers and magazines that Kang Jianfei paid to cooperate with also fanned the flames. Within a few years, the whole French people knew that Sophie Marceau appeared naked in a Hong Kong film.

As a result of this, on the day of the premiere of "Fang Fang" at the film festival, the screening room was full - all of them came to see Sophie Marceau's **** scene.

If these people found out after watching the movie that Sophie Marceau didn't show up at three o'clock, the so-called **** scene was just a headline-grabbing gimmick, they don't know how they would react. ()
