Just as Hong Kong was in chaos, Xia Tian brought the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" to Cannes to participate in the 44th Cannes International Film Festival held here.

In Hong Kong, he has set fire and no longer needs to participate in the rest of the matter. Naturally, someone will help him get it done. Otherwise, if he does too much or makes mistakes, he will be caught by someone accidentally, and then all his efforts will be wasted.

So what Xia Tian has to do now is to make a fortune in silence and try to keep a low profile.

There are only two main actors in the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs".

One is the veteran actor Anthony Hopkins. This old man has made his debut in 68 years and has starred in countless classic works, including "The Lion of Winter", "War and Peace", "The Elephant Man", "The Great Future", etc.

Moreover, he is the maple leaf, the older he gets, and after winning the Oscar for "The Silence of the Lambs" in his previous life, Anthony Hopkins, who was 55 years old, ushered in a new glory in his acting career.

"The Sixth Sense of Life and Death", "Zorro's Mask", "Farewell to the Heaven of Love", "Nixon", etc., have won one wonderful works after another. They have won the Golden Globe Award and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement, which can be said to be full of honors.

The other one is the heroine Lin Qingxia. Xia Tian feels that her performance in "The Silence of the Lambs" is great and she has a chance to win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

The three of them went to Cannes together. Xia Tian talked about acting and director with Mr. Anthony, while Lin Qingxia was talking about fashion stories and gossip news, and she was having a happy time.

...

After arriving in Cannes, we first check-in at the hotel in summer, and then go to the hotel where the mainland delegation stays.

In name, it depends on Zhang Yimou, but in fact it is to go to Gong Li.

After arriving there, Xia Tian learned that it was not only Zhang Yimou's "Jupu Dou" in the mainland this time, but also Chen Kaige also brought his movie "Singing While Walking" to participate in the exhibition.

"Mr. Xia, let me introduce to you that this is Li Baotian, the male lead of "Jupu Dou"," Zhang Yimou introduced to Xia Tian.

In fact, it is not necessary to introduce Zhang Yimou, Xia Tian has already recognized Li Baotian. After all, his acting roles in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" and "The Miracle Doctor Xilai Le" are both classics, and it is difficult to forget them.

Although Li Baotian is not very good-looking, his acting skills are first-class in China. He has won the Golden Rooster Award, Hundred Flower Award, Government Award, Feitian Award, and Golden Eagle Award.

He is also the male actor who works the most with Zhang Yimou, "Ju Dou", "Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", and "Speak Well if You Have Something". As the best director in China, Zhang Yimou must choose a good acting skills unless he has to make commercial considerations. Li Baotian can shoot three movies with him, which shows that his acting skills are really extraordinary.

"Hello, Mr. Li~" Xia Tian smiled and shook hands with Li Baotian, "If you can let Director Zhang choose you as the male lead, your acting skills will definitely be extraordinary."

"Thank you Mr. Xia for your praise." Li Baotian said a little flattered.

"You're welcome." Xia Tian waved his hand with a smile.

...

After meeting Li Baotian, Xia Tian didn't talk to him much.

Although he knew that Li Baotian had good acting skills and was one of the most outstanding male stars in the mainland, he had seen too many famous actors in recent years.

Even those of Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, and Brad Pitt are already numb.

So even if he likes Li Baotian, he doesn’t have to win over him personally. He gave him an order, and some people could do it for him.

After chatting with Li Baotian for a few casual words, Xia Tian headed to Gongli.

After not seeing each other for a year, the two of them naturally had a lot to talk about.

...

Just as we were having a lot of chatting, Zhang Yimou shouted again, "Mr. Xia, please disturb me, I'll introduce you to you. This time, he also brought his new work "Singing While Walking" to the exhibition."

"Hello, Director Chen~" Xia Tian turned around and saw Chen Kaige.

I have to say that Chen Kaige, who came from a highly educated family, looks much better than Zhang Yimou.

Although Zhang Yimou was born in Chang'an City, he went to the countryside after graduating from junior high school. He worked for several years in farm work. Then he went to the factory to work as a worker. He did not go to Beijing Film Academy until he resumed the college entrance examination at the age of 28.

It can be said that he has lived at the grassroots level for more than ten years, and these hard lives have left a deep mark on him, making him look like a farmer. It is simple and vicissitudes, giving people a feeling of being as heavy and solid as the yellow land.

Chen Kaige was born in a highly educated family. His father Chen Huaikai was the first generation of Chinese filmmakers. The sensation caused by "The Song of Youth" in China at that time was no less than that of his son's "Farewell My Concubine" decades later.

In addition, Chen Kaige later married a talented woman named Hong Pao and went to study in the United States with her help, which was also an eye-opener and an eye-opener who was in line with the West, so no matter how well he dressed, dressed, temperament, and conversation was more than Zhang Yimou.

The two of them stood together, which made Xia Tian think of the "literary and artistic youth, ordinary youth, 2X youth" that he jokingly called on the Internet in his previous life.

"Hello, Director Chen! I heard that you are one of the most outstanding people among the fifth generation of directors in the mainland, so I am so lucky." Xia Tian smiled.

Chen Kaige directed his debut work "Loessland" in 1984. The film won the Silver Leopard Award at the Swiss Film Festival, the Best Director Award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, the Kurosawa Akira Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, etc. It can be said that it is a great overseas, and it also made Chen Kaige unanimously recognized in the industry and is considered to be the leader among the fifth generation of directors.

However, because Zhang Yimou has won awards from the Berlin Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival for several works such as "Red Sorghum" and "Big Red Lantern Hanging High", the importance of these awards is higher than that of Chen Kaige, so now in China, Zhang Yimou's status is higher than that of Chen Kaige.

"Mr. Xia, you are one of the directors I admire the most. I watched your works when I was studying in the United States and I am really talented." Chen Kaige smiled, "I like the movie "Mulholland Road" the most, and it was really good. I have watched it over and over again countless times, and every time I re-watch it, I have found new things.

Can you tell me what does the man in jeans who appeared many times in the movie mean?”

Xia Tian was stunned, then smiled, "In the United States, cowboys are a symbol of chivalrous justice."

When Chen Kaige heard this, he suddenly realized, "So that's it, thank you Mr. Xia for your advice."

"You're welcome, I'm honored to hear that you like my works." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

In his previous life, Chen Kaige was a top-line director in China and was not something that a young director like him could come into contact with.

So now I heard that Chen Kaige is his own movie fan, Xia Tian is very happy.

"After that being said, Mr. Xia, you should really make more such in-depth movies, and don't make those commercial movies anymore." Chen Kaige advised again.
