Chapter 578 Cannes Film Festival?
Li Yi's participation in a fan wedding has dominated the top spot on Weibo's hot search list for several days. The entertainment sections of major portals and self-media have been hotly discussed for this, and the overwhelming number of related posts are all over the place!
Just when Li Yishang was still at the center of the public focus, the exposure of another incident pushed him to the forefront, and the entire Internet and Chinese-speaking entertainment industry were shocked!
At the Cannes International Film Festival to be held soon, Li Yi was nominated for the Best Actor for her performance in "A Chinese Odyssey" and will participate in this year's Cannes Best Actor Contest!!
The Shanna International Film Festival, founded in 1939, is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today. It is known as the three major international film festivals in Europe, along with the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.
The title of Xia Na's Actor Award is also quite valuable. If you compare it simply by influence, it is more authoritative than the Golden Horse Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, and Hundred Flower Awards that Li Yi has won!!
It is both natural and surprising for everyone to be the first to be a Cannes actor!
With Li Yi's acting skills in sweeping the top major awards in China, it is really natural to be shortlisted for Cannes. Many people even think that with Li Yi's strength, they should have been nominated long ago.
And the reason for this is that the Cannes Film Festival is almost one-sided and tends toward art films.
Just search for the past shortlisted and award-winning videos and you will find that they are all artistic films and niche movies!
Therefore, many movies that are lukewarm and cannot even be released in China can win good awards in Xia Na, while those commercial films that are so popular and have good box office are not even attainable to Xia Na’s threshold!
Since his debut, Li Yi has participated in all commercial films. He is known as the box office elixir and has become the most representative leading figure in domestic commercial films!
"A Chinese Odyssey" is not only a commercial film, but also a comedy film that is not very popular in the eyes of professional judges of major international film festivals!
Li Yi was shortlisted as the Cannes Best Actor for a comedy film. This is not only the only precedent since the establishment of Cannes, but also an extremely rare scene in the history of various international film festivals!
Not to mention that domestic movie fans and entertainment circles were extremely surprised, there was an uproar in the international arena and shocked!!!
"It's amazing to me! Cannes' Best Actor, the gold content is much higher than that of the Bay Island Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Island Academy Awards, etc. It is an internationally recognized award! With the ability of Yi Ge to sweep the major award ceremony, the Best Actor of Cannes this summer must be very good at this time!"
"Brother Yi is going to rush abroad and enter the international film industry. It's great!!"
"Don't be happy too early. I feel that Brother Yi won the award this time. What I mean is not that Brother Yi has no ability to win the award. The key is that the shortlisted films do not meet the previous style of Cannes, and the possibility of being defeated is too high!"
......
"Agree with the view above, I feel that too! I feel that Xia Na saw that Yi Ge is so popular in Asia. She wanted Asian movie fans to pay more attention to their film festivals, so she got Yi Ge shortlisted. In fact, she didn't plan to get Yi Ge to win the award at all. She was deliberately plotting and using Yi Ge from the beginning!"
"I am not a fan of Yi Ge. Although I like watching Li Yi's movies, I'll say that Li Yi is not qualified to enter the international film industry at the moment, so I have to try harder for a few more years!"
"I feel the same way! And just to judge the facts, "A Chinese Odyssey" is indeed a very good movie, and Li Yi's acting skills are also very good, but this is a comedy! He was shortlisted for the Cannes Best Actor for a vulgar comedy film, which is ridiculous enough. If he really won the award, it would be even more ridiculous!!"
"Damn! What's wrong with comedy movies? Comedy movies are inferior? Besides, Yi Ge's "A Chinese Odyssey" is also very connotative. Comedy only has its shell, and tragedy is only the inner core. The real core is the discussion about love and hatred! Those who say "A Chinese Odyssey" are really vulgar!!"
"Support Brother Yi! I also think "American Journey" has a lot of meaning. Although it is a bit surprising that Brother Yi is shortlisted, it is definitely not as funny and ridiculous as some people say!!!"
......
As soon as the news came out, the entire Internet in China was talking about this matter in full swing, and celebrities and actors in the circle were also communicating with each other in private.
Everyone has their own opinions on this matter, mainly divided into two voices. One is that he feels that Li Yi is qualified to be the best actor in Cannes this time and will set a unique precedent in the history of Cannes awards. The other is that Li Yi's comedy is impossible to win the best actor in Cannes, so the debate is inconsistent!
Overall, there are more voices in supporting Li Yi, and even those who do not support Li Yi, they just feel that comedy films are not qualified to participate in the selection, rather than questioning that Li Yi's acting skills are not worthy of winning the award.
And this is just a domestic voice.
In the international world, which is dominated by European and American countries, the Cannes decision caused a sensation, and many voices also emerged, almost one-sidedly disliked the matter, and even more so, Li Yi, a Chinese actor who is not familiar with them!!!
"Oh my God! A Chinese actor who acts in a comedy film was nominated for the best actor in Xia Na! Even if he was just shortlisted, I think it's a joke!"
"I feel the same way! There is no intention of belittling Chinese actors, but no matter how good an actor is, he is not worthy of winning the Best Actor! And even Jim Carrey in our country has never won an international award for comedy so far, and he has not even been shortlisted. Why can a Chinese comedian be treated like this!"
"Lowen Atkinson, the national treasure-level actor in our country, who you often call Mr. Bean, doesn't have such treatment either! Even the real comedy master Chaplin has never won such an honor in his life! Even if he wants to win the Best Actor through Comedy, he should be awarded to Mr. Bean!"
"I don't know this Chinese named Li Yi, but some friends around me will watch his movies. It turns out that he is a comedy, how about it compared to Zhou Xingchi in China?"
"I don't like watching Asian comedy movies. I feel that it's not as good as our country. My Asian friends around me like Zhou Xingchi's comedy very much, but I think it's so bad! So although I haven't watched Li Yi's comedy, I think it should be similar."
"I have watched this shortlisted movie, "A Chinese Odyssey". The comedy set with Chinese mythology is very messy and has no funny points, and I can't understand it at all!"
"Hey, why do Cannes want a comedy actor to be shortlisted for the Best Actor Award! It's really less and less standard!"
......
Although Li Yi has a certain audience base in Europe and the United States and many movie fans know his name, they are only a few after all. I don’t know that there are obviously more European and American people!
Therefore, the news spread to Europe and the United States. Many people instinctively regarded Li Yi as a comedian because of her comedy film. She felt extremely repulsive of him when she had never seen his movie!
Because in their opinion, movies were the ones that emerged from them, and both in the past and now, the most mature and complete film industry system belongs to them.
All kinds of international awards are basically the ones who win the awards, and they themselves have a sense of superiority!
Even if someone wins the international best actor because of comedy, in their opinion, it should be the comedian on their side!
Because of the hot discussion of this matter, many Europeans and Americans watched the movie "A Chinese Odyssey". Many people called the bad movie before they even finished watching half of it, and they were even more determined to believe that Li Yi is not worthy of winning the Best Actor!
Because the cultural system they belong to is different, just like many Asians cannot understand many of the funny points when watching European and American comedy or talk shows, European and Americans cannot understand where the funny points in Asian comedy are.
Therefore, the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" has the same cultural system and the same origin. Asians who blend with each other can watch it with relish and understand the core of the movie, but unless they are Europeans and Americans who are familiar with and understand Asia, especially Chinese culture, they will not be able to understand it at all.
Just like when Li Yi became the first movie in Asia with a box office of over 10 billion with the infernal Affairs, it also attracted considerable attention in Europe and the United States.
However, after watching the movie, Europeans and Americans can only understand that this is a story of black and white undercover competing with each other. They cannot understand the sense of fate of implementing it all the time. Therefore, Infernal Affairs is regarded as a masterpiece in Asia, but the ratings in Europe and the United States can be considered pretty good!
Although Li Yi knew about the debate between the Taijia and the first generation of the Cannes actor with "A Chinese Odyssey" at home and abroad, he didn't care much about it.
It is definitely the best to win the award. There is nothing to regret if you can't win it. He has won multiple actors, but his mentality about winning the award has become more and more peaceful. He doesn't care what others say behind the scenes.
If your mouth grows on others, it is better to do more practical things than think about how to argue with others.
For him, the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is his first priority now.
After attending Chen Yulin's wedding and accompanying Cheng Yajie in Hangzhou for two days, Li Yi returned to the crew and continued to devote all her energy to filming.
Time flickered, and about a week passed. The filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was progressing very smoothly. Ning Caichen, played by Li Yi and Nie Xiaoqing, played by Zhang Min, have gradually become clear in the movie after the previous encounter and preparation.
The scene that will be filmed indoors today is the foundation and key for the two to fall in love with each other and get together!
Every time there is a scene with Li Yi, there are always the most people watching the scene, especially tonight!
Because this scene is not only a love scene between Li Yi and Zhang Min, but also a kiss scene between the two!
"Everyone is here!" The deputy director sat in the director's chair, holding the horn. After seeing Li Yi in the camera signaling him, he immediately shouted: "Start!"
The first person to come into the camera was Zhang Min leaning against the wooden sliding door, looking anxious.
"Xiaoqian, open the door!" Outside the door was the figure printed on the window paper and the shouts.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Min could only turn around and open the door, and asked anxiously: "How did you come here?"
While speaking, he also looked back with anxiety and worry on his face.
"I heard Qinyin, so I came here to find you." Li Yi said.
"Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Min pulled him in, then he looked outside for a moment, and quickly closed the door.
"You can't come to this place!" Zhang Min said anxiously, and at the same time he took his hand and walked into the house.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'm here to say goodbye to you!" Li Yi said.
Hearing this, Zhang Min paused, stopped and asked with a little surprise and reluctance, "Will you leave tomorrow?"
"Yes! But I will definitely find a way to come back to see you!" Li Yi looked straight into her eyes and said sincerely.
"Don't!" Zhang Min said with a complicated expression.
Then, the camera turned and gave a close-up to the sliding door in the corridor next to it. Several figures were printed on the window paper, and it was obvious that someone had come.
"No, someone is coming, you hide quickly!" Zhang Min glanced at Li Yi, pulled him to the bathtub with petals floating on his face with panic.
"Grandma's nose is very good. If you hide in it, he won't smell you!" Zhang Min said while letting Li Yi hide in the bathtub.
"You want to wet again?" Li Yiduxi said, and then Zhang Min directly pressed her head with her hands, and she was soaked in the bathtub.
The door was slowly opened from outside, but the person who came was not the grandma who made Zhang Min feel disgusted, but the "sister" Xiaoqing, who had been against her and had discovered evidence of her having an affair with others!
"Tsk!" The assistant director stared at the monitor and quickly and indirectly ordered the incoming machine.
The next moment, the camera immediately switched from Xiaoqing to Zhang Min who was already sitting beside him.
I saw her stretching out one leg, revealing a beautiful barefoot, sitting on the floor, with a wooden basin containing water and petals beside her, pinching her fingers, looking bored.
"So beautiful!!" The deputy director and others couldn't help but praise him.
Zhang Min's appearance in the movie was created by Li Yi himself. Many of the appearance pictures and styles were carefully designed by Li Yi. I have to say that Zhang Min's beauty has really been brought to the extreme!
The beauty that is exclusive to Chinese classical, both men and women are fascinated by it!
The camera switched again under the instructions of the assistant director.
I saw Li Yi, who was hiding in the bathtub, poking her head out of the water with anger, and just saw a painting hanging on the opposite wall. I couldn't help but be stunned, because he could see that the person in the painting was Zhang Min.
"Sister Xiaoqian!"
The actress who plays Xiaoqing walked in with two extras who play maids. In front of the camera, she happened to be in the same straight line with Li Yi who was hiding in the bathtub. She greeted Zhang Min, but Li Yi was afraid of being discovered, so she buried her head in the bathtub again.
Chapter completed!
