There were far fewer people in Cannes, as Bai Yangyu was returning home with Ling Hu and Luo Chen. The former needed to make a handover, while the latter had to join the crew without delay.
As for Helian Bei, he stayed in Paris, catching up with some old friends. He had no plans to go to Cannes unless he was nominated for Best Actor.
Arriving in Cannes, the bright sunshine shone through the palm trees on both sides of the street, and sprinkled on the transparent car windows, leaving behind cheerful handprints.
Su Yin reached out, placed them on the car window, and hummed happily.
"Sure enough, the sunshine, the beach, and the endless palm trees will make people happy involuntarily." Tang Yue looked at Su Yin who was shaking her head beside her, and she also curled up the corners of her mouth.
"Although it's a small city," Wang Xingrui said as she sat in the car. She had a natural affinity for small cities like these. "But the construction here is quite good. At least it's beautiful."
Lin Xuan'er was wearing headphones, and a rock band was playing. Listening to this rhythmic music, Lin Xuan'er felt like her body was about to fly.
For the four of them, coming to Cannes was a pure vacation. Without the pressure of work or worrying about whether they would win an award, they just lived like tourists.
As a person who is used to big scenes, Zhou Yiyang is also quite relaxed.
Just like he always told others, in his opinion, it doesn’t matter whether he wins the award or not, as long as he can enter the second round, it is a victory.
And his presence at the film festival already meant that he had established relationships with a group of directors who were above his level.
Hadn't he just mentioned to Liu Fenfang that they were looking for talented directors from around the world to produce dramas for Moonlight? He might be able to snag a few during the film festival!
The most nervous person in this extended Lincoln was undoubtedly Zhang Yiling.
Although she had already prepared to retire from the film industry and was planning to become a director, she still had a little extravagant hope in her heart, hoping that she could win an award, no, just be nominated for the Best Actress award.
At this time, she sat behind Zhou Yiyang and put her hand on the back of the seat: "Uncle Zhou, do you know who is the favorite to win the award this year?"
"Some of the films, like ours, premiered at film festivals, so I can't judge their quality. But among the films that have already been released and are confirmed to be participating in film festivals, I am more optimistic about a South African film."
Everyone else in the car was attracted by Zhou Yiyang's words and couldn't help but turn their heads.
South Africa?
"What movie?" Even Su Yin, who had watched the most movies among them, didn't know.
"It's a low-budget religious film. But what's unique is that this film doesn't talk about the mainstream religions in the world today, but about shamanism that originated in local tribes. I think it's a very interesting movie, and I'd like to talk to the director about it."
After Zhou Yiyang finished speaking with a smile, he found that everyone else was staring at him with admiration.
In their view, Zhou Yiyang not only has to run the company and participate in activities, but also has to continuously create excellent works. To be able to do this, he is already very impressive.
But I didn't expect that Zhou Yiyang could still find time to watch movies and enrich his film viewing experience.
This alone is enough to be admired.
Cannes is not very big, and they soon arrived at the most famous local avenue.
Almost all movie stars from all over the world who come to Cannes will come here to take photos and linger, and Moonlight Girl is no exception.
"Get off the car!" Zhou Yiyang didn't act like a boss at all. He walked onto the soft beach wearing beach shorts and flip-flops.
In front of me is the blue sea, and seagulls fly by from time to time.
Turning around, you will see rows of hotel buildings decorated with lights and in different styles.
This kind of situation can really make people forget all the troubles in life and become calm.
Zhang Yiling and her four sisters ran all the way to the beach, basking in the warm sunshine. She gradually put down the burden of winning the award and the most natural smile bloomed on her face.
"Hey, come here!" Tang Yue ran to the front, then bent down and picked up the shell: "Is it beautiful?"
"You are so stupid!" Lin Xuan'er shook her head, but still bent down and imitated him to look for the target.
Su Yin held Zhang Yiling's hand, and two rows of footprints of different sizes were left on the beach as they walked.
"Do you like it here?" Su Yin was only wearing a white skirt, and when the sea breeze blew, the hem of her skirt shyly curled up.
"Yeah." Zhang Yiling nodded heavily. "If you're just here for tourism, that would be even better."
"Why do you think so?" Su Yin squatted down, scooped up the white sand with both hands, and watched them slip through her fingers one by one.
"For the four of us, with no films participating and no jury members, coming here would definitely be mocked by some netizens as just grabbing the red carpet. But this time it's different. You came here with your work, so you should be more confident."
Su Yin smiled gently: "There's a crab here!"
After letting the crab go, he continued, "I hope that next year, when I come here again, I can bring my work with me, just like you."
"In fact, if 'Tokyo Godfathers' is registered, there is still hope for nomination, right?" Zhang Yiling felt much better after hearing Su Yin's comfort.
"Brother Yang told me this. There will definitely be works that are more likely to win awards in the future. Instead of just joining in the fun, it's better not to sign up!" Su Yin smiled and said, "I trust Brother Yang's judgment."
On the other side, Zhou Yiyang was already standing on the beach. As the sea water washed away the sand, his gaze followed the endless coastline.
