Chapter 194 Global Focus
The sound of waves hitting the beach can be heard not far away, and the balcony of this seaside hotel is facing the vast blue ocean.
Keanu stood beside the bed wearing a short-sleeved polo shirt, looked at the time on the watch and urged: "Honey, get up soon, and you will go to the airport later, do you want to miss the opening of the film festival?"
Eve wrapped herself tightly like a worm, she opened her eyes and looked at the man beside the bed, her eyes were full of accusations.
"Last night I said to go to bed early, who kept my spirit up and kept me from going to bed?"
Keanu felt a little wronged, touched his ear, apologized and said, "I admit it was me, but you first ignited the flames of war, remember?"
"I just weighed your muscles, and I didn't want to do anything else." Eve said stubbornly. Yesterday was considered a new wedding, and there were sparks when the two touched each other, let alone in the hotel in the dead of night.
Although she knew that Keanu would be a good father, she was not ready to be a mother, and there were many protective measures.Keanu also didn't want to suddenly become a father while filming in a different place, so he naturally accepted this request.
Staying in bed is a habit, especially after experiencing the jet lag factor, it is even more chaotic.
"There are also bedrooms on the plane, where you can sleep and rest."
"I think your thoughts are not pure, you just want to join the high-altitude club?"
"Maybe we can unlock this achievement in the future, but forget it now, there are a lot of people outside." Keanu patted his chest, with a self-sacrificing look, "If you want to try, I can accompany you."
After being together for a long time, you should speak more casually, without being too polite and particular.
There were members of the entire team and crew members on this private jet. Although it would be more exciting if there were more people, Eve was not willing to try that.
She sat up from the bed and threw the pillow towards her boyfriend, "Now I suddenly start to doubt your idea of buying a private jet. Is it really for this?"
"You think too much, wash up quickly, Evan has already called me twice, the departure time of the plane application cannot be changed."
After finishing speaking, Keanu quickly turned and left without answering the question.
Eve stepped on the ground barefoot to pick up the pillow, and she began to guess that maybe there was a consideration in this regard, even though it was not the main factor.
Both of them are unmarried adults without children, and it's nice to have some fun and excitement in life every now and then, which is better than the same.
If you don't play now, you won't have much chance when you get old or have children.
After taking a quick shower in the bathroom and drying her hair, Eve went out. She has a strong sense of time. Since Evan is urging her, it is better to arrive as soon as possible.
……
In May, the air routes in the south of France were extremely busy, but what was originally a small island has now become a place of worldwide attention, with media from almost every country appearing here. .
There is no airport on the island, so Eve and the others landed at the airport in Nice, where they will change vehicles and drive to Cannes.
Before the opening of the film festival, the journalists are squatting at the Nice airport, because this is the starting point for the appearance of stars from all over the world, and every star participating in the film festival will appear here.
The small airport was crowded with journalists with cameras, fans with posters, Cannes organizers and security personnel from Nice Airport.
Hua Jianjing, a reporter from the China Film Channel, is holding a camera to adjust the content. He is not only here to shoot Hollywood and European movie stars, but also pay attention to the actors and works of his own country.
"Old Hua, how long have you been guarding today?" Zhao Gang, a reporter from Sina Entertainment, asked curiously, "Why do I feel that you have been here all this time?"
Hua Jianjing sighed, "I went to have a meal in the middle, and went to the bathroom, so I missed Wang Jiawei."
"I heard that Leung Chiu Wai is coming soon, I hope he can be photographed, otherwise there really isn't much news to report."
Ma Jiarong, a reporter from Phoenix TV, said in half-baked Mandarin: "Unfortunately, I just arrived today. I heard that Gong Li is here? She has no film nominations this year, so how could she think of participating in Cannes?"
"Maybe it's just to join in the fun. She has participated in so many Cannes Film Festivals, and I heard that this time she will host the party as the spokesperson of L'Oreal."
"Did you catch Ang Lee? When will the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" come to Cannes?"
Hua Jianjing shook his head. He really wanted to film this crew. From the director to the actors, they are all at the top level of Chinese. Li An needs no introduction, and he is well-known in the world.
The leading actor, Chow Yun-fat, is well-known in China and has a certain reputation in Hollywood. This year, he is also the guest of honor for the Oscars, and he will be awarded the best sound editing award alone.
The heroine Michelle Yeoh debuted as a star and is a well-known Bond girl. She acted as the heroine in "007: Tomorrow's Empire" and gained attention from Europe and the United States.
The supporting actor and supporting actress Zhang Zhen and Zhang Ziyi made their debut through master works respectively, and performed well in "Spring-Light-Cha-Xie" and "My Father and Mother".
"The Devil Is Coming" cannot be reported, and "In the Mood for Love" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have become the main content of the report. After all, the other shortlisted film "Yi Yi" does not have any big stars to star in, and its star power is not high enough.
This time, Chinese-language films were shortlisted for several films, but Jiang Wen's film "The Devil Is Coming" did not get the Dragon Standard Approval from the Radio-Film-General Bureau, so it was directly taken out of the exhibition, and it was directly blocked by the Radio-TV!
If mainland films want to participate in foreign film festivals, they must abide by the "Film Management Regulations", otherwise they will be regarded as banned.
Not only can the film not be released in mainland China, but Jiang Wen himself will not be able to make any films for five years, and all news cannot report on that film.
Anyway, there is no flight landing at the moment, so Ma Jiarong chatted with these colleagues: "Which movies do you think have the chance to win awards this year?"
"Wong Kar Wai is the most likely to win the award. Europeans like his films very much. He has won the best director in Cannes before. This time, I hope he can become a best actor or actress. It's a pity that Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung last time Well, I didn’t get the prize.”
"I also think it's this movie. It would be a shame if Jiang Wen's movie didn't win an award!"
"The film festival hasn't opened yet. It's too early to say these things, and it depends on their quality." Hua Jianjing is more cautious, and he didn't make random predictions. It is not easy for films to participate in the main competition unit.
While they were chatting, the security personnel at the airport began to clear the area again to maintain order. Three black cars came to the airport exit and lined up neatly.
"The big screen at the airport shows that no flights have landed in the past half an hour. Where did the star come from?" Ma Jiarong complained in confusion while picking up the camera in his hand.
For ordinary actors or directors, there is no need to waste film. If it is a celebrity you know, you must shoot non-stop.
Zhao Gang was equally confused, "Could it be someone who arrived at the airport before but never came out?"
"Could it be hiding makeup inside?"
In any case, when the group of people inside came out in a mighty manner, the reporters and fans at the entrance went crazy, and the screams broke through the sky!
The camera shutter sounded, the flashes continued to come on, and all the shots were aimed at the two leading people: Keanu Reeves and Eve Campbell!
Everyone knows that Eve was shortlisted for the main competition with "Mulholland Drive", but it was unexpected that Keanu would accompany his girlfriend to attend.
It's the first superstar to debut at this year's Cannes Film Festival!
Although Keanu was not a finalist, no one cared at all at this time, just pat hard.
They had considered this situation before, both of them covered their faces with black sunglasses, otherwise they would really be dazzled by the flash.
Hua Jianjing was stunned, but he didn't stop his fingers, and another colleague turned on the camera to record the scene. This scene must be sent back to the station for reporting!
The huge crowd rushed towards Eve and Keanu. The reporters were taking pictures and interviewing them at the same time, wishing they would stop.
"Keanu!"
"Neo!"
"Eve!"
There are people with any name. Reporters all over the world are relieved. Finally, there are superstars to save the page. They thought that Hollywood superstars would collectively miss Cannes this year.
Unexpectedly, the most unlikely superstar of commercial films to come to Cannes will come here, so will other superstars arrive in the following days?
No one has forgotten that there are posters of "Mission: Impossible 2" all around the venue of the Cannes Film Festival. It would not be a surprise if Tom Cruise appeared at that time.
The reporters went crazy, and the fans with posters and photos were also ecstatic. They didn't expect Keanu to appear here with his girlfriend, so no one prepared corresponding posters at the scene.
I can only send the screams and shouts to the tall, handsome, beautiful and unrestrained two people, and at the same time reach out to shake hands with the two, even if it's just a touch!
Eve knew that her boyfriend was very popular, but she didn't expect him to still have such top popularity in Cannes.
It was agreed that this is a paradise for art films, but it turned out to be the world of Hollywood stars.
In terms of acting skills, Hollywood actors are not necessarily better than European and Asian actors, but in terms of popularity, any second-tier Hollywood actor can be named by a group of people.
Not only the Chinese media reporters, but other reporters can't wait to put the camera on the faces of Eve and Keanu.
It only took a few tens of seconds from being quiet to erupting, and those people who were going to the bathroom or making phone calls in the distance also gathered around when they saw this posture.
Fortunately, the airport had already made preparations. Nearly ten security guards and bodyguards of great stature separated the crowd from Eve and the others. It was as if they were opening a path in the sea of people, and it was extremely difficult for them to walk.
Even though the distance was tens of meters, it took several minutes to get to the front of the car.
All kinds of luggage on the plane had been loaded and unloaded on the truck. After Eve and Keanu boarded the car first, they turned their heads and smiled at the reporters outside the car window, and waved their hands at the same time as a greeting.
"When did they arrive at the airport?"
"Didn't you say Keanu was filming The Matrix in Australia?"
"There are quite a lot of people in this team, but why don't you have any luggage? Just a few people came out. Could it be that they are taking a private jet?"
Zhao Gang watched the vehicle go away before replying: "Don't you guys know that he bought a private jet worth 3000 million dollars?"
"Two to thirty million US dollars, that's not one to two hundred million yuan!" Hua Jianjing was dumbfounded. He usually focuses on movie content, and he doesn't care much about entertainment gossip, especially what kind of plane he bought.
Now that I heard that Keanu and Eve have their own private jet, apart from shock and surprise, I can't find any other emotions.
Now it is 2000, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 8.28 RMB, even if the plane costs only 2000 million US dollars, it is more than [-] million RMB in conversion.
"People can earn the money of an airplane by acting in a movie. The level of earning money is different. There is no way."
"I heard that Eve and him both have Chinese blood, but it's really not obvious from the outside. These two people are very popular in China, their appearance is in line with Asian aesthetics, and the quality of the movies they star in is also good, and Eve will also say Chinese."
Ma Jiarong said with emotion: "It would be great if I could make an appointment with her for an interview. Our domestic media doesn't seem to have interviewed these two people yet."
At this time, Hua Jianjing finally recovered from the state of shock, and he said proudly: "Why haven't we interviewed? During the Oscar red carpet this year, our station's reporter interviewed Eve and Keanu."
"Tomorrow's opening film is "Mulholland Drive". She must be very busy recently. I don't know if it's too late to make an appointment and ask."
