Big director

With the rapid development of various media methods, eyeball economy has become a hot new term in the early 21st century.

In fact, it is very simple to understand. To put it bluntly, modern media rely on public attention to survive and make profits. Television, movies, magazines, and websites are all part of the eyeball economy.Those big and small stars need to rely on media reports to attract popularity and increase their popularity. At the same time, the media also rely on reporting news and scandals of stars to win attention. Everyone is mutually beneficial. If you sing and we come on stage, it has already It was tacit understanding.

In this case, stars with strength and works can sit back and relax, as long as they show their faces, they will be sought after.But what if there is no work and no strength?Either you are willing to be a little transparent, or you have to think of some tricks to surprise you.

Wearing exotic clothes is definitely one of the cheapest tricks.

But the so-called outlandish clothes are not so easy to think about. If you are not careful, after the report goes out, the public will feel disgusted and feel that this guy is really low--although the awareness of ugliness is also showing signs now, After all, as long as the star is not too broken, try not to take this trick.

Zhu Zimo wandered alone in the streets of Cannes, found a small coffee shop with a very quiet environment, sat in a place by the window, and watched the passers-by outside while drinking coffee slowly.

In fact, Zhu Zimo will inevitably have a sense of space-time confusion at this time. In a strange era, and now he is on the streets of a foreign country, and wherever he can see, there are almost all foreigners with different skin colors and hair colors. , a very lingering French song was playing in the coffee shop, and the few guests were all whispering in foreign languages.Zhu Zimo's French level can only be considered average, that is, he can basically understand it, and can do some daily communication, but his writing is relatively weak, and he is better at English in comparison.

There is a saying that fashion has a reincarnation every 20 years. In Zhu Zimo’s view, there are indeed some similarities between the clothing and hairstyles of this era and 300 years later, but there are more popular elements that are not yet available in later generations. , The fabric, tailoring, and concept are also a bit worse, but even so, he still looks at it with gusto, just like people in the 21st century going back hundreds of years ago, every era has the pride of every era, The original feeling, no matter how refined it is restored by later generations, will still be out of shape, so he finds it very interesting to be able to observe it personally.

This stay lasted for almost two hours.

The coffee cup in his hand has been refilled four times.

Bastian is the owner of this coffee shop, and he usually acts as a guest waiter or something. He had already noticed when Zhu Zimo came in, and he went over to serve several refills in the middle of the way. This foreign boy— —Is it a boy?He looks very small, but it is said that oriental people always look younger than their actual age, but even taking this factor into account, Bastian feels that he is probably underage-what a pity, both in appearance and voice , he was very interested in his appetite, and the sensitive radar told him that this person was of the same kind as him... But because it was too beastly to strike up a conversation with a minor, Bastian could only stay away.

Just endured itching for two hours, the beautiful boy was still sitting there, Bastian looked over there, finally took a coffee pot, and walked towards the window.

"Hello, sir," Bastian lowered his voice as much as possible to make his voice sound more sexy and charming. His shirt fits very well, so when he bends down like this, the clear muscle lines are shown. It is not in vain that he insists on exercising every day, which makes his figure look very predictable.Add a little cologne, this is the secret of Bastian's never-failing, "Would you like a refill, please?"

Zhu Zimo raised his head, showed a smile with crooked eyebrows, and nodded, "Thank you, I think I will sit down for a while."

That's what it sounds like!With a little foreign accent, but the rhythm of pronunciation is very charming!

Bastian stabilized his mind and poured him a cup of coffee.But this time he did not simply leave like the previous few times, but put on a posture of wanting to chat, and chatted with Zhu Zimo: "The weather is great today, huh? Is this your first time in Cannes?" I have to say, you caught up with the good time, the film festival will open tomorrow, and it will be very lively."

Zhu Zimo smiled and said, "Yes, it's my first time here, it's very beautiful..."

"With the liberty to ask," Bastian asked, "are you Japanese?"

Seeing Zhu Zimo shaking his head, Bastian added: "Then, are you Korean?"

No matter how open-minded Zhu Zimo was, he was very unhappy at this moment.

He emphasized sternly: "I am Chinese."

"Ah, I'm sorry," Bastian shrugged, "You must be from Hong Kong, China? Or grew up in a foreign country? I mean, you don't look like..."

He thought it was a compliment. After all, in his impression, China is a very poor and backward country, and the ruler of that country is very authoritarian. The ignorance there is like another world... He has met it before A few times the Chinese, to be honest, they gave him a very bad feeling, either they were very rude and uneducated, or they were nouveau riche who were vicious and soft.Bastian was surprised that the beautiful boy he had his eye on turned out to be Chinese.

If he was from Hong Kong, China, or just a Chinese, it would make sense.Bastian is not one of those idiots who don't care about current affairs. He still knows such a big thing that Hong Kong was taken back from Britain by China.Bastian gloated a little at the time, given that it was a scandal among the Brits.

However, Zhu Zimo was annoyed by his 'compliment', but he was not insulting each other, on the contrary, he was very polite. He looked away, showing that he didn't want to continue talking with him, and hoped that this guy would leave quickly.

With such an obvious attitude, Bastian was taken aback for a moment. He had just started to strike up a conversation, but when he was about to fall into the sand, he felt a little awkward for a while.

At this time, a voice that sounded very arrogant suddenly came in from the side. The seat of that person was next to Zhu Zimo, and the two of them were back to back, "I can't believe that I am sitting with a Chinese person." Drink coffee!"

He turned around and glanced at Zhu Zimo with contempt in his eyes, as if looking at a pile of garbage.Zhu Zimo was also looking back at him. The uninvited guest who interrupted seemed to be in his thirties, with a medium build, a little fat, a high nose and deep eyes, and a little thinning hair.Sitting across from him was a pretty lady, whispering on the phone, as if she didn't notice what was going on across from her.

The guy didn't wait for Zhu Zimo's reaction, and added another sentence: "Don't you Chinese men all wear braids? Oh, sorry, I think my memory is a bit confused, you know, I have seen a few Chinese movies, there are some with braids and some with short hair, which confuses me a bit.. But I can guarantee, the clothes in it, and the scenery of China.. Hehe, leave me alone Impressed. But, I must say, you really don't look like a Chinese, because you don't look too bad?"

He let out a very obnoxious laugh.

Bastian showed a look of dilemma, but after hesitating for a while, he chose to remain silent.

Zhu Zimo laughed back in anger, and he also responded politely: "Well, I understand, after all, there are always some people in this world whose brains are so small that they can't tell what is a movie and what is reality. For such a vulnerable group, what else can I care about? This world is full of love, so I have to learn to accept them, are you right, this gentleman who greets strangers unreasonably for no reason?"

"Ha!" The man was choked for two seconds, and then suddenly laughed, "Anyway, for me, I will never go to that backward country in my life. If you have to deceive yourself, then please. And Are you talking about movies with me? What a joke! Movies are an artistic reworking of real life. Anyway, the China I saw in movies is like that. Low adobe houses, disgraced characters, very funny accents, and a mess The incomprehensible plot...is so boring! God, I don't want to watch it again!"

Zhu Zimo narrowed his eyes, and asked suddenly: "From your tone, could it be that you are still a filmmaker?"

"What's none of your business?" The man skipped the question alertly.

Throughout the Western world, especially France, there has always been a tradition of exclusion of Chinese.But racial discrimination still has to be put under the table after all, especially in his industry, although what he said just now is not too much, but if someone pokes it out, it may cause some trouble after all.He didn't want to put himself in it.

"You can say it or not, but this gentleman, I think I have remembered you, and I sincerely hope that we will have a chance to meet again!" Although he avoided talking about it, Zhu Zimo is still [-]% sure that he The job is indeed related to movies.Since this is the case, everyone will not turn around, he is waiting to be swollen by himself!

"I don't think there will be such an opportunity," the man snorted arrogantly, "because I have never been used to dealing with Chinese people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful woman on the other side hung up the phone and tapped the table with two fingers. This annoying guy turned around like a victorious rooster.

Zhu Zimo kept this person's facial features in mind, took out his wallet, and said to Bastian who was still standing beside him, "Pay the bill!"

Bastian reluctantly handed him the bill. Today was really a bad start. A strike-up started, but was cut in half.He has completely given up hope for this beautiful young man's favor, and he will definitely not come here again after making it so unpleasant...

Zhu Zimo returned to the hotel where he was staying disappointed.

It was time to have dinner, and all the crew members came back shortly after him. He called and ordered a few pizzas, and everyone shared the meal, and each went back to his room to rest.There was only one night for them to beat the jet lag. Tomorrow was the red carpet for the opening ceremony. Everyone had to look radiant. It was basically the first time for everyone to participate in such a grand event, and they all looked a little too nervous.

Zhu Zimo also just discovered that Shen Pingzhang can speak French!It seems that the degree is better than him, and I am a little surprised.Except for the two of them, the entire crew became deaf-mute people who could not communicate with others after they arrived in France. Others are tour guides, and they seem to be having a good time.In a foreign country, it is easier for people from the same country to develop relationships. It is said that they also happened to meet the crew of "Lost with Time", and we chatted for a long time, and now I am very excited when I think about it.

"The Year Like Water" is a literary film made by Hong Kong director Wang Sheng. It is the most popular Chinese film award-winning film at this year's Cannes Film Festival.This crew is not like their crew, most of them are unknown young actors. From the director to the starring, they are all big names in the circle. If they were in China, they would not even have the opportunity to say hello to them. Now everyone participates in the movie together. It's a festival, so there is such a coincidence, it's almost like a welfare.

No matter how excited you are, you have to force yourself to fall asleep while counting sheep.

Silent all night.

In the morning of the next day, several professional makeup artists came to the hotel where they were staying with their makeup boxes.

These makeup artists were found by Zhu Zimo through the Internet. There are two Chinese and two blacks. Their skills are quite superb, but probably because of their race, compared to whites, their opportunities are always relatively much less. .Zhu Zimo offered a very generous price. During the [-] days of the film festival, the four of them are the dedicated makeup artists for the entire crew.

After two tense hours, everyone was refreshed and ready to go.

Lilian, who was in charge of putting on makeup for Zhu Zimo, stared at him in the mirror for a while, her eyes almost overflowing with admiration, and she praised in Chinese: "Can you tell me how you take care of your skin? So many celebrities have put on makeup, really, even those female celebrities don’t have the skin condition like yours! Alas, I’m useless at all!”

Another male make-up artist named Qiao An focused on another aspect. He looked a bit naughty, and his movements and expressions were exaggerated. He poked Wu Junqi's chest lightly with raised eyebrows and fingers, "What are your clothes? Brand? I've never seen a design like it before from any major brand! But I have to say, it's amazing! Can you tell me? I love it so much! I'm definitely ordering a set too!"
