The Cannes Film Festival is a strictly hierarchical film festival.

Celebrities of different positions have their own circles, media reporters with different backgrounds and qualifications have press cards representing different authorities, and different types of guests appear on the red carpet at the opening ceremony at a distinct time.

As the most watched main competition film of this film festival, the crew of "Pulp Fiction" arrived at the Palais des Cinemas on the seaside of Cannes near the end of the red carpet ceremony. Even so, after getting off the bus, some staff came to signal Simon and his party to wait for a while.

It took a few minutes for the crew to get in after signing some names for the screaming crowd on both sides of the road by the roadside at the entrance.

In the 1980s, the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival was only a short section of the twenty-four steps of glory at the entrance of the Film Palace. Simon and others stepped on the roadside to the media channel in front of the steps. The reporters on both sides suddenly boiled. .

In addition to Simon and Janet, Pulp Fiction also includes Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Semel Jackson, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Sean Penn, and previously Robert Redford, who led the "Battle of Bean Fields" crew through a red carpet, was specially turned out at this time, more than half of the nine people are high-profile first-line celebrities.

Most of the guests who participated in the opening ceremony had entered the venue half an hour before the red carpet ceremony. At this time, there was only one team of "Pulp Fiction" crew on the media channel, and everyone naturally became the focus of reporters on both sides.

After cooperating with various poses, Simon wanted to continue walking with Janet, but was politely stopped by the staff, and continued to shoot under the flash for a while before everyone was able to climb the steps of glory, followed by another one. Take pictures.

When standing at the top of the steps to take a group photo, Simon saw the judges of the main competition unit appear at the end of the media channel. As usual, the judges of the main competition unit usually step on the red carpet at the last moment. Apparently, Pulp Fiction was in the penultimate wave.

Entering the Lumiere Hall, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people, the opening ceremony of the film festival begins soon.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of the red carpet ceremony, the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was lackluster.

The host of the opening ceremony was French actress Matilda May. Simon only remembered that the other party had starred in the last part of Spanish director Biggs Luna's "Abilia Trilogy".

The half-hour opening ceremony process is very fixed, without the ease and humor of the Oscar ceremony. After the serious opening speech, the host invited the judges of the main competition unit to sit on the stage and give a general introduction. There was a song and dance performance in the middle. , and then began to introduce this year's nominated films, and then ended.

Matilda May, who was looking at the aqua blue evening dress on the stage, began to call the curtain. Janet, who was on the stage, leaned on Simon and whispered: "It's so boring, Simon, we really have to stay and watch the opening ceremony. film?"

Simon nodded and said, "If you don't want to see it, you can go back first."

Janet rubbed Simon's shoulder and said, "I must be with you."

After the opening ceremony, some guests usually choose to leave early.

However, after seeing the information about the opening film of the film festival, Simon decided to stay after the opening ceremony.

Because the title of the opening film is "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", directed by Luc Besson. In the original time and space, "Blue Sea and Blue Sky", as the most successful French film in the 1980s, was shown in theaters for a year, but this is enough to prove the excellence of the film.

Simon had also seen this movie in a previous life, only on pirated discs, and liked it very much. Now, since he has the opportunity to relive it on the big screen, he naturally won't miss it.

Knowing that Simon intends to continue watching the opening film, the rest of the crew also stayed with great interest.

After a short hiatus, the screening of the film began quickly.

"Blue Sea and Blue Sky" has two story lines, the competition between two top divers played by two male stars Jean Reno and Jean-Marc Barr, and the role played by Jean-Marc Barr and Rosanne Arquette. The emotional line between the hero and heroine.

In Simon's view, the focus of the story is actually Jacques played by Jean-Marc Barr. The male protagonist, who has been obsessed with the sea since childhood, treats dolphins as his family and cannot integrate into this world, finally obeys his inner call and abandons everything to return to the sea.

Inside the theater.

Simon was quickly immersed in the beautiful blue sea and blue sky in the film. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly found that Janet had unknowingly wrapped his arms tightly around him. This is a woman's habitual little action, and Simon didn't care too much.

However, in the second half of the film, which lasted for more than 160 minutes, when the hero and heroine were on the phone for the first time, when he heard the story of the hero Jacques about encountering a mermaid, Simon finally noticed Janet's strangeness.

"Do you know how to meet a mermaid? You have to swim to the bottom of the sea, where the sea is bluer, where the blue sky becomes a memory, lying in silence, you decide to stay there, with the determination to die, the mermaid will appear They come to greet you and test your love. If your love is sincere and pure enough, they will accept you and take you away forever..."

At the end of this prophetic line, a slightly trembling voice came from Simon's ear: "Simon, I want to go home."

Simon turned his head and found that the face of Janet, who was always a little heartless and mad, was full of tears.

Immediately put aside the movie, Simon took the woman's handbag and pulled out the Kleenex

He wiped her face and said without hesitation, "Okay, let's go back."

Nicole Kidman, who was sitting on the other side of Janet, also noticed her strangeness. Seeing the two get up, they quickly got out of the way. Simon left the hall with Janet, who had been holding his arms tightly, until she got into the car, and then patted Janet, who was snuggling on him like a kitten, and said, "What's wrong?"

Janet raised her face, and instead of answering his question, she asked, "Simon, you'll never leave me, will you?"

Simon nodded immediately: "Of course."

Janet still had worry in her eyes and said, "Actually, you are very similar to Jacques in the movie, that kind of alienation that is completely out of tune with this world, I am very worried that one day, you will be completely disinterested in all this. , and then disappear."

Simon smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible, I made so much money, and I don't even have an heir, how could it suddenly disappear."

Janet paused, then said, "I, a few days ago, I saw some of the materials you put in the study."

"What?" Simon wondered, "I usually put a lot of things in the study."

"Yes..." Janet avoided Simon's eyes, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "About, about the will, you have already made a will, right?"

"Aren't many people doing this? Just in case," Simon didn't deny it either, leaning his head on the woman's soft blonde hair and saying, "If I die suddenly, you will become the world The richest little rich woman, hey, let’s discuss it first, then you can associate with women, don’t look for a little white face, or I will be very embarrassed.”

Janet ignored Simon's joke and raised her voice a little excitedly: "I don't want your money."

Simon hurriedly hugged Janet again, patted the woman's slender waist lightly, and said in a slow voice: "Jenny, you really think too much. Well, maybe, some of your guesses are not wrong. But, Well, if you want a story too, my flying saucer is broken, and the technology on Earth won't fix it, so I'll just stay here forever and ever."

She has too many things on her body that a young man of this age can never have. With Janet's smart brain, she must have made too many guesses after getting along for so long. Simon just didn't expect that a woman would have an episode tonight because of a movie.

Janet heard Simon's words, her rapid breathing calmed down a little, her hands were tightly around his waist, and she said, "Simon, I love you, no one in this world loves you more than me."

"I know."

"But you don't believe in love."

"Believe it, I just never thought that I would be in love with a girl," Simon said with a smile: "Actually, I am a very selfish person. I remember a very interesting question, who do you love and who love you? Who would you choose to spend the rest of your life with, I will choose the latter. So, as long as you don’t run away from me, I will definitely depend on you for the rest of my life.”

Janet's body softened a little, leaning on Simon's body weakly, and whispered, "You can go to Janet's room tonight, she likes you too."

"I know, so I left her with me, isn't it hateful?"

"Well," Janet nodded vigorously, wrapped her arms around Simon tightly, and said, "but you have to promise to never leave me."

"I promise."

Janet paused for a while, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Jennifer did not attend the opening ceremony with everyone tonight. Simon and Janet returned to the hilltop mansion in Le Canet. The female assistant was sitting alone on the first floor in the spacious, even somewhat empty hall, silently sorting out. some documents.

The two entered the door and saw Janet's appearance. Jennifer immediately stood up with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"

Janet didn't answer, Simon smiled and said, "I was so absorbed in watching the movie that I cried."

Listening to Simon's stern tone, Jennifer gave him a light glance, then stepped forward and pulled Janet to sit on the sofa together, and said, "Ms. Pascal just sent some faxes from New York about those real-life movies. Xiusuke's, I've sorted it out."

Simon nodded, walked over, picked up the fax that Jennifer had just folded, and sat down on the sofa next to him. While chatting casually with the other two women, he flipped through the fax in his hand.

The Hollywood writers' strike is still going on, but the upcoming TV season in May is still on schedule. Although this year's promotion season is destined to end in a deserted manner, the due process will not be less.

Simon arrives at Cannes at the same time Amy heads to New York with Daenerys Pictures' four reality shows that have been in the works for months. According to the time difference, although it is already more than nine o'clock in the evening in Cannes, it is still less than four in the afternoon in New York, and it is still working time.

Speaking of which, Simon originally wanted to return to the United States after attending the opening ceremony and the premiere of Pulp Fiction.

However, the schedule does not allow him to do so.

The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is May 11, which is today. Subsequently, the premiere of Pulp Fiction was arranged by the organizers on May 15, the first weekend of the festival. If that's all, Simon can naturally leave next Monday and come back after confirming the "Pulp Fiction" award.

However, after the premiere of Pulp Fiction, he has to attend the Cannes premiere of Robert Redford's "Battle of the Bean Fields" on May 17.

Then, May 19 is the Cannes premiere of "When Harry Met Sally".

Although the overseas copyright has been sold to Disney, this film is produced by Daenerys Films after all, and if the copyright is sold, it will be completely turned around as a shopkeeper, which must still be very demeaning.

After May 19th, followed by the weekend, even if Simon doesn't need weekends, others certainly can't, so there is no need to return to the United States.

The closing ceremony is Monday, May 23, so Simon has finally decided to stay until the festival ends. This is actually the reason why he bought a house in Cannes ahead of time. If he only stayed for a few days, he really didn't need to make such a toss, but for two weeks, he didn't want to stay in a hotel anymore.

From May 11th to May 23rd, including the time spent on the journey before and after, it basically took up most of May. Simon had no way to return to the United States, and the promotion of several reality shows could only be left to Amy. In terms of business operations, Simon was very reassured about Amy.

What's more, he has promised Amy 5% of the company's annual net profit share. If everything requires him to do everything by himself, the money will be wasted.

Looking at the information sent by Amy, among the four reality shows, the four major TV networks are generally interested in two of them, one is "Who Will Be a Millionaire", and the other is called "Survivor". Simon was not surprised. "Who Will Be a Millionaire" and "Survivor" were the two most popular reality shows in the United States in the 1990s. At the same time, it was these two reality shows that brought the reality show boom on American TV. .

There are not many people who are interested in the other two reality shows. Simon also has to admire the vision of the TV network, because the other two reality shows are indeed chosen by him at will. One is called "Big Brother", and the original time and space are far away. Not as successful as the first two, another program in the original time and space or even a cable network is called "Beverly Wife". This is actually a whole series of "Beverly Wife". However, in Simon's memory, there is only "Beverly Wife". "Li Jiao's Wife" appears to be more successful.

As for the reason for doing this, in the final analysis, Simon still couldn't get rid of the mentality of being mixed with sand.
