Huayu: Starting with mentoring female stars

Chapter 62 Participating in the Shanghai International Film Festival

no way.

Although Chen Zhou didn't mind at all.

You can simply ignore Zhang Liangying and Shu Chang outside.

However, Liu Yifei is indeed thin-skinned.

It's impossible for her to knowingly let the two of them be outside and continue experiencing adult stories with Chen Zhou.

So after telling Chen Zhou, she went out on her own.

Then Chen Zhou heard Liu Yifei give the two of them a severe scolding.

Until noon.

After having lunch at Liu Yifei's house, Chen Zhou left first.

He also had serious work to do, namely the editing of "No Man's Land".

He called all the people who had edited "The Unknown" with him before back together.

With the previous cooperation...

This editing process will go much more smoothly.

Two days later.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Zhou did receive a notification from the Shanghai International Film Festival.

The film "The Unknown" has been successfully nominated for the film festival.

So I told Chen Zhou in advance so that he could bring the film crew to the film festival.

As for whether or not they can win an award.

They definitely won't tell Chen Zhou.

Otherwise, those who know they're just going to be runners-up, especially some big names, would never even bother to go.

Upon receiving this news, Chen Zhou immediately informed the rest of the crew.

Liu Yifei, of course, needs no further introduction.

There are also Zhu Yilong, Chen Minghao, and Wang Jingchun.

It's been a long time since I've seen these old friends, so this is a good opportunity to get together.

Another week has passed.

Chen Zhou, along with Liu Yifei, Zhu Yilong, Chen Minghao, and Wang Jingchun, boarded a plane to Shanghai.

We arrived at the film festival.

It was packed with people.

The main point is that this film festival is not limited to the domestic market.

Instead, it can be filled by works from all over the world.

Therefore, many foreign directors and actors were also present at the event.

Under the guidance of the staff.

Chen Zhou and the others arrived at the waiting area first.

Then we'll have to wait until the red carpet event begins.

Only then will the film crews walk the red carpet one by one, following the established procedure.

Chen Zhou wasn't dressed in anything particularly special.

She simply put on the suit that Jing Tian had chosen for her.

Then I combed my hair a little.

This simple style alone made him the most stylish person on the scene.

The female staff members all had eyes that sparkled when they saw Chen Zhou.

Even when you see male celebrities who are known for their good looks, they're pretty much like this.

Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was wearing a light blue dress.

She wasn't dressed in particularly glamorous attire, but she was still enough to outshine all the other actresses on set.

At her peak, Liu Yifei possessed both the necessary qualities and the confidence to achieve them.

During the wait, Chen Zhou met quite a few people from the industry.

For example, Wong Kar-wai, who served as the chairman of the jury for this year's film festival.

As always, he was still wearing his sunglasses.

In today's Chinese entertainment industry, Wang Jiawei still enjoys a very strong romanticized view of him.

Wang Jiawei is considered one of the top directors in China.

Some even say he is the most talented art film director.

No other director can rival him in this regard.

However, due to some revelations, the Wang family's reputation and public image, which they had maintained for many years, were completely ruined in the future.

After losing their initial positive impressions of him, many people began to realize that his previous so-called art was actually just a collection of photoshopped images.

In addition, Chen Zhou also saw Fan Binbin standing not far away.

Fan Binbin is currently at the peak of his career.

Her flowing, elegant gown drew the attention of many reporters and media outlets.

The cameras kept flashing at her, taking pictures of her.

Just as Chen Zhou looked over, Fan Binbin's eyes met his.

Then Chen Zhou saw Fan Binbin carrying her dress and walking over by herself.

"Hello Director Chen, I'm Fan Binbin, nice to meet you."

"Please take care of me in the future." Fan Binbin took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him.

"Hello." Chen Zhou shook hands with him out of politeness.

He hadn't expected Fan Binbin to come up to him on her own initiative.

But on second thought, this also fits Fan Binbin's persona of having high emotional intelligence.

Many people have said that Fan Binbin is definitely a female celebrity with high emotional intelligence.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to thrive in the entertainment industry.

It wasn't until some news broke that it finally died down.

Then, Fan Binbin looked at Liu Yifei and said, "Hello."

"Hello," Liu Yifei greeted him politely, shaking his hand.

"I really envy you for being able to play Ma Jiaqi in 'The Unknown'."

"After watching the movie, I also really, really liked this character."

"I've been thinking a lot about whether I could handle the role if I were to play it."

"The final conclusion is that I'm afraid I don't have that ability yet," Fan Binbin said.

"Actually, when I was acting, I couldn't fully grasp the character."

"It's all thanks to Director Chen's guidance that I gradually entered the inner world of this character, which allowed me to successfully portray Ma Jiaqi," Liu Yifei said.

"It seems that Director Chen is also very capable in directing actors."

"This is exactly what I've heard," Fan Binbin said.

"What? Are people in the industry still talking about me?" Chen Zhou asked casually.

"Director Chen, you're being far too modest."

"Since the release of your film 'The Unknown,' it has become the highest-grossing newcomer film in history."

"It would be strange if no one talked about you."

"Among my friends in the industry, there are plenty of people talking about you," Fan Binbin said.

"Really? That's quite surprising," Chen Zhou said.

"Director Chen, if there are any suitable movie roles in the future, you can also consider me."

"As long as the role is good, I don't have high demands for the salary," Fan Binbin said.

"Let it be," Chen Zhou said.

He couldn't possibly agree to anything Fan Binbin said directly.

After all, he's not some greenhorn who's just starting out and gets a few kisses from a female celebrity.

And then it was completely overrun.

They were at the mercy of others there.

"Director Chen really has a knack for attracting female celebrities."

"Whenever we participate in similar events, the ones who care most about Director Chen are always the female celebrities," Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"That's why everyone says Director Chen is a great director. Which actress wouldn't be smitten?" Zhu Yilong said.

"To be honest, I really envy Director Chen."

"If I had Director Chen's physique, then I wouldn't have entered this industry in vain," Chen Minghao said.

Wang Jingchun, who was not particularly good-looking to begin with, naturally did not get involved.

For him, the word "handsome" never existed.

After a while...

As the older generation of the Wang family walked down the red carpet first.

Chen Zhou also walked onto the red carpet with Liu Yifei and the others.

Facing cameras from all directions, they handled themselves with ease and without any stage fright.

We entered the hall.

Chen Zhou and the others all took their seats.

They were all placed in the third row.

The first row consists of Wang Jiawei and his group.

The second row was mostly filled with foreigners.

Chen Zhou didn't care about any of this.

What he found interesting was that the person sitting behind him was a real old acquaintance.

"Director Chen, we meet again," Lu Chuan said from behind.
