At 7 pm on May 20, in front of the Film Palace, the main venue of the film festival, was very lively. In front of the entrance to the red carpet, there were fanatical fans, and on both sides of the red carpet were reporters flocking to the sky.

The Palace of Movie has four halls, the largest hall is divided into two floors, and the opening and closing ceremonies are held here, called Lumiere Hall. Generally speaking, the movies in the main competition unit are screened in Lumiere Hall, and a movie that focuses on the unit is screened in Debussy Hall. The Bazan Hall will play the second main competition film of the day at 10 o'clock in the evening, mainly for reporters who cannot get tickets to watch the movie; the Bunuel Hall is mainly a Cannes classic unit, and Zhang Yimou's "Ten-sided Ambush" was screened in the Bazan Hall last night.

However, tonight, Lumiere Hall belongs to "Space and Space Warriors". The main competition unit movies were rushed to Debussy Hall, and a movie focusing on the unit was placed in Bazin Hall. Blockbusters such as "Space and Space Warriors" with Hollywood top superstars were premiered in Lumiere Hall.

Although Cannes is known as the palace of art films, it is actually the most commercial among the three major film festivals and the tightest hugs in Hollywood. Without Hollywood superstars, the influence of the film festival will become smaller and smaller. This is why the Venice Film Festival was gradually overtaken by Toronto. It is precisely because Cannes understand this that it became the leader of the three major film festivals.

After the red carpet officially started, there were many crews and celebrities who came to support the show, and of course there were also many small stars who came to ride the red carpet.

It is not surprising that Zhang Yimou led Andy Lau, who was in the crew of "Ten Face of Ambush", appeared on the red carpet. They were all their own people, so it was normal for them to support them. However, Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro were both handsome, which caused female journalists in East Asia to scream like illegitimate; and Park Chan-yu and Choi Min-sik were relatively deserted when they appeared on the red carpet. In addition to Korean journalists, many reporters from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan did not know them.

When Galliano appeared on the red carpet, European and American journalists almost fell off their chin. Galliano is a master of the fashion industry, and he has never had the habit of attending the red carpet. It is really surprising that he suddenly appears on the red carpet of "Time and Space Warrior".

Now the domestic film and television industry and the fashion industry are not closely integrated enough, and no domestic celebrities go to the fashion week to watch the show. Entertainment reporters don’t know much about the fashion industry, and basically don’t know Galliano.

At this moment, they heard European and American reporters amaze at the long-haired man with a small beard in front of them, and were very curious. Who is this person?

A reporter whispered to the foreign colleagues next to him: "What does this gentleman do?"

"He is Dior's artistic director Galliano, it's incredible that he would appear."

"Does he like Keanu Reeves' movies? No! How could a person with such artistic taste like him like Reeves' movies?" said a reporter next to him.

"Yes, this is really strange!"

At this moment, someone shouted: "Oh, Theron is here, take a photo!"

The reporters were excited when they saw Theron and pressed the shutter crazily. A strong white light burst out at the scene instantly, as if the sun had exploded.

Theron came to play Reeves. She had a good relationship with Reeves. In order to act in "Sweet November" with Reeves, she refused "Pearl Harbor". Today she wore a sky blue Dior Haute Couture gown, perfectly outlining her lines, making her look sexy and charming. She stood on the red carpet and put on several looks, murdered a bunch of film, and walked into the Movie Palace.

Next, Quentin led the members of the jury to appear on the red carpet and excited the fans and reporters again. The cheers were deafening and the flashes flashed wildly. Quentin is undoubtedly the most popular among Western journalists and movie fans, but the most popular among domestic and Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters was Tsui Hark, who was one of the judges in this main competition unit.

Of course, the climax of the red carpet was the crew of "Time and Space Warriors"; Keanu Reeves, Adrian Braudy, and Liang Jiahui were wearing black suits and bow tie, which was handsome; although Luc Besson was not a handsome guy, he was famous and paid less attention than anyone else; and Zhang Ziyi in the middle was wearing a light green long dress, although not sexy enough and did not have the aura of later, but she was better than fresh and looked very cute.

The fans at the scene were like crazy, with hysterical cheers and shouts everywhere. The camera shutter in the reporters pressed quickly like crazy, and the "click" sound was like locusts eating crops frantically.

Reeves and the others kept their charming smiles, walked slowly, and waved their hands gently to both sides from time to time. When they waved, the fans would always cooperate with screaming and cheering, looking very unexcited.

In fact, Reeves and the others were a little uneasy. They knew about the copy of the movie. Zhang Ran has not appeared yet, which means that the copy has not been completed yet. They are worried that the premiere of the movie will go smoothly.

European and American media focused on celebrities like Reeves and did not find anything abnormal, but East Asian media, especially domestic media, have noticed something was wrong.

Zhang Ran did not appear on the red carpet.

Everyone in the entire crew appeared, but director Zhang Ran did not appear. This was abnormal.

The reporters whispered: "Do you have any news? Where did Zhang Ranren go? Why did he walk on the red carpet?"

"I don't know, have you returned to China if you have something to do?"

"No, I met Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu on the beach in the morning. They said they would attend the red carpet. But now no one sees it. This is really strange!"

"Yes, what the hell is going on?"

At this moment, the film festival chairman Jacob was really walking around anxiously in the news center, like an ant on a hot pan, restless. The red carpet is about to end, and the copy of the movie has not been resolved yet!

Zhang Jingchu sat on the chair and waited quietly. She changed her skirt and put on makeup at the Dior Beauty Salon. She did not stay with the crew members, but came to the news center to wait for Zhang Ran.

After nearly ten minutes of time passed, the closed door finally opened, and Jacob immediately met: "How is it, is it done?"

Zhang Ran handed Jacob a slightly hot hard drive: "It's done, this is a copy!"

Jacob cut a cross on his chest and handed the copy to his staff: "Take it quickly and prepare for the screening!" Then he turned to Zhang Ran and said, "Thank you, you saved the reputation of Cannes!"

For the film festival, it is nothing to postpone the screening of the competition unit, and it is not the first time it has happened. But blockbusters like "Space-Time Warriors" that come to Cannes cannot have problems. If there is a problem, who will dare to come in the future? Cannes needs big productions and big stars to support the show, and the film festival cannot have such accidents.

Fortunately, everything has been solved now!

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I just hope that my movie premiere can go smoothly!" He glanced at his watch and said to Zhang Jingchu: "The red carpet has ended. Such a beautiful dress and such beautiful makeup are a waste!"

Zhang Jingchu chuckled: "What's the matter? Just see it!"

"That's not a waste. There are still twenty minutes left before the movie is officially screened. Let's take two photos as a souvenir!" Zhang Ran took a photo of the camera on his body and took Zhang Jingchu's hand to walk outside. After he met Lucbesson in the hotel lobby, he went directly to the news center, and the camera was always on his back.

The News Center is on the third floor of the Film Palace. Zhang Ran and the others got off the upper floor. The red carpet has become very empty. The reporters either entered the theater or entered the News Center to write articles. Only some movie fans took photos on the red carpet and said that they were also people who walked through the red carpet.

Movie fans are taking photos for themselves, but in the last lifetime, some domestic celebrities could not get invitation letters and did not walk into the formal red carpet. They just waited for the red carpet to take two photos after the red carpet, and then sent them back to the country to boast about their promising red carpet in newspapers. Domestic audiences didn't know the real situation, and thought they had really walked on the red carpet and shined at the film festival!

Zhang Ran couldn't help but directed Zhang Jingchu and asked her to pose: "Jingchu, raise your head, hold your knees tightly, and step on your feet firmly, and smile at the camera. Very good, that's it!"

Zhang Jingchu's smile on her face was very bright. She was really happy and happy now, and even her eyebrows were smiling.

After taking a few pictures, Jacob smiled and suggested, "You guys take a few pictures together, I'll take photos for you!"

The president of the Cannes Film Festival helped take pictures, and the treatment was a bit high! Zhang Ran handed the camera to Jacob, walked to Zhang Jingchu, reached out to her waist, and faced the camera with a smile.

Jacob pressed the shutter and the screen freezes.

In the photo, Zhang Jingchu has her eyebrows and eyes, and the dimples on her cheeks carry a rich happiness; Zhang Ran held her with one hand and smiled brightly, which was like a perfect match!

After taking a few photos, Zhang Ran was about to enter the cinema when he suddenly found that there were several movie fans on the other side of the red carpet holding signs asking for invitations from "Time and Space Warriors". He still had several invitations on him, but he didn't keep them, so he walked over.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Ran walked over, several movie fans surrounded him, one of them said excitedly: "Are you Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran was stunned. He was a little famous in East Asia, and he was completely a newcomer in Cannes. Some foreigners knew him, so he said, "Yes, do you know me?"

"We are your fans. We watched your "Prisoner of Time" at the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival two years ago, and we have been your fans since then!" The speaker was Alvin, next to him was his friend.

Zhang Ran would not meet fans who had watched "Prisoner of Time" in Brussels. He felt that he had done the right thing, so he took out a few invitation letters from his pocket and handed them to Alvin and the others: "Thank you for your support, there are still several invitation letters for "Primary of Time and Space" here, you can take them to watch the movie!"

"Oh, God!" Alvin and the others were immediately excited.

They are science fiction fans and have never been to Cannes before. They thought that Cannes sold tickets like other film festivals, but when they arrived, they realized that Cannes did not sell tickets and had to ask for invitations to watch movies. However, the invitations for "Space and Space Warriors" were very popular. They waited in front of the Movie Palace for a few days, but they didn't ask for them.

Unexpectedly, just when they were about to despair, Zhang Ran would send an invitation letter.

Zhang Ran smiled at them: "The movie begins soon, hurry up and enter!" After that, Zhang Ran walked towards Zhang Jingchu and Jacob, and walked into the Movie Palace with them.

It was only two minutes before the beginning of the movie, and Zhang Ran had not appeared yet. The copy of the movie should not be finished. It seems that the movie could not be broadcast on time. At this moment, Luc Besson was anxious and kept looking up at the door, wishing he could turn into a copy and put the movie on.

At this moment, Lucbesson saw Zhang Ran appear at the door. The stone in his heart fell to the ground instantly. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then he leaned on the chair as if exhausted.

Not only Luc Besson, but also the entire crew of the "Space-Time Warriors" were relieved.

God bless you, catch up!

As soon as Zhang Ran arrived, he sat down, and the screening room suddenly turned dark, and a ray of light shot straight from a high place on the curtain on the stage.

First, what appeared in front of everyone was the dragon logo of radio and television, followed by the factory logo of Qingying Factory and the Lion Gate logo.

Immediately afterwards, the movie officially began. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
