.

Phoenix Network Entertainment News (written/cursory note) On the evening of May 17, local time, the 70th Cannes International Film Festival officially opened. China stars such as Fan Bingbing, Yang Ziqiong, Li Yuchun, Wang Luodan, and Yang Zishan appeared on the opening red carpet. Among them, Fan Bingbing and Yang Ziqiong's red carpet appearances were all officially broadcast. Among them, Yang Ziqiong accepted an interview with the on-site host and received more than one minute of official footage of ultra-high standard treatment, becoming the most eye-catching Chinese star that night.

In

addition, the chairman of the jury, Pedro Almodovar, together with Jessica Chastain, Paul Sorrentino, Park Tsan-wook, Will Smith, Fan Bingbing, Marlen Ade, Agnes Shaweiyi, composer Gabriel Yadeh collectively appeared on the opening red carpet. The opening film "The Ghost of Ismail" director Arnold Despritchin made the final appearance on the red carpet with Matthew Amarick, Charlotte Gansberg, Marion Cotillard and Luis Garrell. In addition, Julianne Moore, Susan Sarandon, Uma Thurman, Adrian Blodi, Asha Fahati, Alexander Despratt, Lili-Rose Depp and many other heavyweights appeared on the red carpet to kick off the 70th anniversary of Cannes.

Wang

Luodan

opens the red carpet: Yang Ziqiong received high-standard treatment for more than one minute of broadcasting, Li Yuchun and Wang Luodan pass in a flash.

Although there are

still no China films shortlisted in the main competition unit, there are still many China movie stars who have walked on the red carpet, including Yang Ziqiong, Hong Jinbao, Hong Tianzhao, Fan Bingbing, Li Yuchun, Wang Luodan, Yang Zishan, Li Ruijun and others.

Ziqiong

Yeoh, a Chinese actress with a high status in the world, was surprised to appear on the red carpet in Cannes and accepted an interview with the host of the official broadcast. She said that she was very happy to be here in Cannes 70, which is the largest, best-organized and most watched film festival in the world. Yeoh Ziqiong is also the only Chinese star who has received separate close-ups from the official broadcast. She has appeared in the live broadcast many times before and after, and the cumulative time exceeds one minute. This treatment has caught up with the favor Gong Li received on the red carpet last year. From the moment she stepped on the red carpet, she was photographed by official cameras for nearly 80 seconds.

The

focus of China's media attention was that Fan Bingbing, who appeared as a judge, appeared on the red carpet in a water-blue dress, appearing very intellectual and elegant. However, even with her status as a judge, Fan Bingbing did not receive the sole care of the official broadcast. All the shots given to her appeared with the chairman of the jury, Almodovar. At the same time, Fan Bingbing did not accept interviews and questions from the on-site host, while several other judges, including Almodovar, Will Smith, Jessica Chastain and even composer Gabriel Yade, all accepted official interviews.

In

addition to Yang Ziqiong and Fan Bingbing, Li Yuchun and several other China artists, including Li Yuchun, Wang Luodan, Yang Zishan, and Li Ruijun, all flashed across the camera and did not give any positive close-ups.

Among

them, actor Yang Zishan and director Li Ruijun, who came to Cannes with their work "Passing the Future", were also urged by the staff to move forward as soon as possible due to the slow pace of walking the red carpet. Li Yuchun appeared in the background of the official host's interview with veteran Hollywood actress Susan Sarandon. Although it was a false focus, Li Yuchun could still be clearly identified.

However

, although there are not many highlights of China elements this time, fortunately, there was no such farce as a turkey costume of an unknown Chinese actress who stole the scene on the red carpet last year and was helped away by the red carpet host. This is a small improvement.

The

screening of the opening film was delayed

and there was little applause. The Oscar

winner presented full frontal nudity as the only attraction.

Earlier on the 17th, the French film "The Ghost of Ismail" kicked off this year's Cannes Film Festival as its first screening. The movie palace was naturally crowded early. When the reporter entered the movie hall, it was almost opening. Only the hilltop seat on the second floor was still empty, and the entire movie hall was full. However, when the hour hand pointed to 10 o'clock, there was no intention of starting the screening. As time passed by, many reporters in the movie hall began to express dissatisfaction and booed them. It was not until 10:08 that the lights in the movie hall gradually dimmed, and the belatedly delayed opening film "Ismail's Ghost" officially began to be screened.

"

The Ghost of Ismail" tells the story of the sudden appearance of her husband Ismail, played by Matthew Amarik, and his wife Carlotta (Marion Cotillard) after twenty-one years of disappearance. The film is presented in a play-within-play manner. One story tells the story of Carlotta's unexpected appearance, which brings endless trouble to the lives of Ismail and his current girlfriend Sylvia (Charlotte Gansberg). On the other side, a clip of a movie directed by Ismail depicting his brother as a secret agent flashed. This is still a typical Despritch-style work, with distinct technical labels: rapid transition, interdiction, flashback, reflection and encirclement, and consistent images of the sexes: male vulnerability and lonely and powerful women. Unfortunately, the connection between the two-line narratives is not close enough. Carlotta's disappearance and appearance for no reason is more or less confusing. It seems that there are only the wonderful opposing scenes between the two top film queen stars and Marion's frontal naked lens is the biggest excitement of the entire opening film.

After

the 114-minute screening, there was no applause in the Lumiere Hall of the Film Palace, which also showed the attitude of journalists from all over the world towards the opening film in Cannes. Compared with last year's "Coffee Commune", it was naturally a good start.

At

the opening film release conference held after the screening, Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard became the focus of the audience. She appeared in a white shirt, especially among a group of black clothes, and the reporters present also threw questions to Cotillard. Another actress, Charlotte Gainsbourg, seemed listless. She almost said a word throughout the press conference, just kept drinking water. Philippe Garrell, a handsome guy who is quite popular in France, even smoked an e-cigarette on stage.

When

a reporter asked why director Desprichin chose Gansbrough as the leading actress, Desprichin said he liked her amazing work "The Antichrist" very much. She is not afraid of controversy at all and dares to perform movies with bold themes. Desprichin said he was honored and moved to unveiling his director's work at Cannes, but was also very worried about the media's evaluation, because the French media's comments are very strict and he would definitely not read it.

The

two film winners, Gansbrough and Cotillard, also talked about their feelings about working with each other. Gansberg said that the two had an appointment for dinner the first time they met and got along very naturally with each other. Cotillard told reporters that Gainsbourg is an actor she has always wanted to work with and has endless performing energy.

The

host mistakenly named Fan Bingbing's representative work as "Miss"

The jury's press conference made a mistake. The host mistakenly named Fan Bingbing's representative work as "Miss"

In

accordance with the practice of the Cannes Film Festival, after the opening film release conference, the main competition jury's press conference was held in the afternoon. Chairman Almodovar, Jessica Chastain, Paul Sorrentino, Park Zan-yook, Will Smith, Fan Bingbing, Marren Ade, Agnes Shawii, composer Gabry Yade and others attended the event. Among them, Fan Bingbing appeared with short hair. She wore a white checkered low-cut dress, which attracted a burst of photos from China reporters. However, at the press conference, she didn't say a word and was slightly silent. She listened carefully to the young translator behind her to perform simultaneous interpretation throughout the entire process.

After

the nine judges took their seats, the host of the press conference introduced each judge in turn. When introducing Fan Bingbing, the host made a small mistake and said that her masterpiece was "Miss"(actually it was the work of South Korean director Park Chan-wook). Later, when he introduced Park Tsan-wook, he noticed the mistake and expressed his apology to Fan Bingbing, correcting that her masterpiece was "I am Not Pan Jinlian", saying that if he watched this work, he would realize that she was a very capable actress.

The

focus of China's media attention is Fan Bingbing, while the hot topic of foreign media attention still centers on the impact of streaming Netflix on the film industry. Chairman Almodovar said that he does not want to award the Palme d'Or to a movie that cannot be seen on the big screen. He said he believes that movies are about making people feel small, and this is a magic that only the big screen can achieve. Contrary to the chairman's opinion, Will Smith said he has three children who like to use the streaming media at home, but at the same time, they also go to the cinema to see movies twice a week, which are not two incompatible forms.

"

Shi Huang" seemed very excited throughout the press conference and often took the initiative to answer questions. He joked that the last time he watched three movies in one day was 14 years old. When Shi Huang received a movie from the organizing committee and learned that he would continue to work at high intensity for two weeks, he was a little scared and expressed the hope that the judges would supervise himself and keep him from falling asleep.

Another

heavyweight judge from Hollywood, American actress Jessica Chastain, dressed in a red suit, looked very eye-catching. Regarding the fact that the film starring her idol Isabel Hupel was once again shortlisted in the main competition, Ms. Model Worker said that many of her friends 'films were shortlisted this time, and many of them sent her text messages. But Chastain said that he would make an objective evaluation and jokingly replied to these friends: I am a judge, don't interfere with my work!

As

we all know, Chairman Almodovar is good at portraying female characters in films. A female reporter at the scene asked if he had a preference for female and same-sex themes during the review process. Almodovar said that she would pay attention to the film. Gender issues, but would not favor directors just because they are female or gay, because what she values more is the diversity presented in the film. Park Chan-wook, a famous South Korean director who is also good at shaping female roles, said that he feels responsible to express the characteristics of contemporary women, but with so many female judges this year, the burden on his shoulders will be much lighter.
