The three workaholics really felt that they had met too late. Wen Ying and Xie Qian exchanged glances and slowly left the room.
"Hey, I was thinking of going shopping with you in Cannes."
Wen Ying muttered softly.
"After the awards ceremony, stay one more day, just the two of us, and go shopping slowly."
Xie Qian offered the best of both worlds.
Wen Ying also knew that she couldn't have it all, so she didn't dwell on it any more.
Xie Qian glanced at his watch and offered a new option: "Actually, if you want to go to the beach, you can go out now and get some fresh air."
This is not China, and there are too many stars at the Cannes Film Festival. He and Wen Ying can just be an ordinary tourist couple, strolling hand in hand on the beach, hugging and kissing!
Wen Ying didn't hesitate at all: "Wait for me, I'll go back to my room to change my shoes!"
Not only did she bring shoes suitable for walking on the beach, she also brought a very nice skirt.
Thanks to the laid-back French, Wen Ying can play with Xie Qian until late at night. Thanks to Xie Qian's long-distance flight rest method, Wen Ying can have plenty of energy!
…
The next morning, Wen Ying and Xie Qian had a leisurely breakfast and waited until almost ten o'clock before setting off with Lin Wenxuan.
Cannes was bustling with activity because of the film festival. Film professionals and tourists all came here. There were many films screened in the non-competitive units. Wen Ying watched several movies with Lin Wenxuan.
Finally, Lin Wenxuan took the two of them to the screening of "Shendu Youth".
“There are quite a few spectators~”
No wonder the stingy Mr. Zhang is smiling from ear to ear.
"The film is very popular with tourists."
Lin Wenxuan objectively commented: "Some directors like to make art films obscure. Simpler films are more suitable for the general public."
Wen Ying has watched "Shendu: Youth" many times. Xie Qian and Lin Wenxuan have also seen it. None of the three came to see this movie. Wen Ying wanted to hear what foreign audiences think of "Shendu: Youth".
She heard a French lady praising the male lead for being so handsome.
Just as it is difficult for Chinese people to distinguish the appearance of foreigners, the French also have some cognitive difficulties with the Chinese. Some people asked Xie Qian if he was the male lead of "Shendu Youth" and chased Xie Qian to ask for a photo.
Xie Qian ruthlessly refused: "I'm a tourist!"
Some viewers also praised the heroine for her good performance.
The maid played by Zhang Yangning is obviously a supporting female role, but she is surprisingly popular.
Lin Wenxuan grabbed an audience member and asked, "Do you only like the characters? Do you like this story?"
The audience didn't recognize Director Lin and looked at him like he was stupid: "This is the Cannes Film Festival. If the story wasn't good, we would have left long ago!"
Lin Wenxuan asked several people in a row, and the answers he got were all similar.
Yun Chen, Xu Mei, and Zhang Yangning still have a strong audience base in China, with people buying tickets just for them. But to the Cannes Film Festival and international audiences, they are all unfamiliar faces.
Audiences will stop and watch a movie because of a beautiful stranger face, but they will not watch the entire movie just for a beautiful stranger face.
What attracts them is the story.
Wen Ying's heart was filled with strange emotions, while Lin Wenxuan was content. "Xiao Wen, did you hear that? Your story is very popular! I just wanted to show you today that regardless of whether you win the 'Best Screenwriter' award or not, so many people like your story."
Wen Ying had a strange expression on her face, the feeling of being touched just now had turned into uneasiness.
Was Director Lin's words a pre-emptive warning for her, that the "Best Screenwriter" award had already been a confirmed PR failure?!
