Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Chapter 519 517 The director of



The two had a good personal relationship, so Yu Dongqing didn't mince words and pondered for a moment: "The male and female protagonists of the script are two middle school students. If you want to act, you can only play the male protagonist's father, an astronaut, who is considered the second male lead. Sacrifice yourself at the critical moment to save the earth.”

"Ha, he's a hero, okay, I'll play."

"Also, the salary won't be high. You also know that making science fiction is very expensive. I won't invest too much in actors' salary."

"As long as the role is good, I can do it for zero pay!"

"Okay, wait until I get back and finish writing the script, then you can take a look and make the final decision."

"Thank you, thank you, Director Yu, come and have a drink." Liu Yi said, raising the beer can.

The two ate and drank for a while, and Liu Yi put the leftovers in a plastic bag and took away the empty beer cans.

Yu Dongqing looked at the time and was about to brush her teeth, wash her face and go to bed, when she suddenly heard another knock on the door.

what is it today?

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to ask again.

"Which one?"

"It's me, Director Yu, Ye Xiaomin."

she?

"What's up?"

"It's a small matter, Director Yu. I won't take you long."

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to open the door and saw Ye Xiaomin standing at the door wearing a skirt.

"Xiao Min, what's the matter?"

"Director Yu, can you go in and talk?"

Yu Dongqing nodded and let Ye Xiaomin go in, but did not close the door to the room.

Ye Xiaomin sat on the sofa politely: "Director Yu, during dinner today you said that you were going to make a science fiction film. Can I play a role in it?"

This again

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to say: "Xiaomin, the male and female protagonists in the script are both middle school students. It's not suitable for you to play. If you really want to play one of the supporting roles, you have to think carefully about it."

Ye Xiaomin was slightly disappointed.

"Director Yu, if you finish writing the script, can you let me read it? I will decide then."

"Okay." Yu Dongqing replied readily.

After sending Ye Xiaomin away, Yu Dongqing couldn't help but shake his head.

Don’t let those people from Xiangjiang Treasure Island come again.

Fortunately, the night was uneventful.

After all, those three are all hot stars in Hong Kong and Baodao, and their film schedules are very full.

The last time I filmed "Ashes of Time" it took so long just to give myself face.

The next day is the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival. The most important thing about this day is the opening ceremony and the red carpet.

Early in the morning, Yu Dongqing started to put on her makeup after breakfast, put on a black tuxedo, a bow tie, and her hair was combed brightly.

When I finished cleaning up and went downstairs, I saw the rest of the people. The men were also wearing suits and ties, and the two ladies were wearing gorgeous evening gowns.

Liang Xiyan wore a blue velvet backless evening gown, revealing her snow-white skin and looking very sexy. It is said that a famous designer in Hong Kong specially designed it for her.

In contrast, Ye Xiaomin is more conservative. She wears a black satin evening dress with a not-so-deep V shape, but it is also made by a domestic master.

The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was held at the gate of the Palais des Festivals, which is also the place where the red carpet is held. Yu Dongqing and six others arrived at the Palais des Festivals in six official cars, all Renault Talismans.

At nine o'clock, the opening ceremony began. The host delivered a passionate speech, followed by a walk on the red carpet.

Yu Dongqing and the others were arranged in the middle position. This place was crowded with stars, and naturally it was also a place where actresses competed for their beauty. They were all like peacocks with their wings spread out, always paying attention to their makeup.

Relatively speaking, men are much more relaxed. If they know someone they know, they will stand aside and chat privately.

Yu Dongqing looked around and was stunned. He found a face he recognized - Hollywood director Christopher!

I once wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The Wandering Earth"!

What is he here for?

Are his movies also shortlisted?

No way?

Christophe makes commercial films. He might believe it if he stood on the Oscar podium, but if his film wins the award at the Cannes Film Festival, which is famous for literature and art, it is simply the biggest news of this Cannes Film Festival.

Yu Dongqing couldn't help but whispered to Liu Yi beside him: "Hey, do you know him?"

Liu Yi took a look and whispered: "Christopher, who doesn't know the director of the famous "Silver Star Empire" series of movies?"

"Why is he here?"

"Oh, that's right. I saw a news on the Internet that Kristoff brought his creative team to Cannes to promote his new film "Empire of the Galaxy" 5. It is said that he will also hold a film conference. Have a road show here.”

Ah?

Americans are really good at doing business, and they even went to the Cannes Film Festival to promote it.

But this is also the Cannes Film Festival. Pursuing art does not exclude commercial operations. If it were the Venice Film Festival, there would be no way!

Christopher obviously also noticed Yu Dongqing. He whispered a few words to the person next to him and walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Yu, I didn't expect us to meet here."

"Yes. I really didn't expect that, Mr. Christoph." Yu Dongqing smiled and stretched out her right hand.

"Congratulations, your film was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival. I wish you an award and I will definitely go and watch it."

"Thank you. I heard that your new film "Silver Star 5" is on the road show. I wish you a big hit at the box office!"

"Thank you. Would you like to come and watch the road show?"

"Okay. It's better to be respectful than to obey."

The chat between the two quickly attracted the attention of surrounding reporters.

One is a Chinese who makes literary films, and the other is an American who makes Hollywood commercial blockbusters. How come they are so familiar with each other?

Like old friends.

Soon, a reporter took a photo of the two chatting passionately. This is also rare news at the film festival.

The two chatted for a while and then went back. Soon it was Yu Dongqing's turn to walk on the red carpet.

Some people complain that the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival is too short, much shorter than that in China, but the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is even shorter, only 20 meters long!

But it is indeed the most watched movie red carpet in the world.

Except for Yu Dongqing, the others all looked excited.

Don't look at Liang Xiyan and others. They are well-known stars in the Mainland of Hong Kong. They often appear on stage at the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards, but this is the first time for them to come to Cannes.

Liang Xiyan also took the initiative to hold Yu Dongqing's arm, and the six of them passed on the red carpet one after another.

There will be someone dedicated to lead the guests onto the red carpet. Unlike in China, the usher will always be near you, telling you where to stop and urging you to leave quickly.

There are media concentration areas on both sides of the red carpet, where celebrities can stay briefly for the media to take photos.

On Yu Dongqing's side, except for Liu Yi, whose image is slightly worse, the others are all handsome men and beauties, so naturally they are particularly eye-catching.

Two ladies in particular, Liang Xiyan and Ye Xiaomin, each held Yu Dongqing's arm and allowed reporters and the audience to take pictures, only to hear the flashes keep clicking.

The beauty is not shallow.

It's just that Yu Dongqing smiled bitterly in her heart, where is this?
