A ticket costs 100,000 yuan, which is still a sought-after item for Internet celebrities and stars, which is the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
As early as 2019, the Chinese film reporting official Weiwei exposed the price list of Cannes red carpet invitations, which are divided into 40,000, 50,000 and 80,000 third-class fares according to the order and time of walking the red carpet, and if you want to have a seat after walking the red carpet, then the asking price is as high as 100,000.
The claim of walking the red carpet at her own expense was also certified by actress Lu Jiarong, who said that her trip to Cannes in 2018 was a red carpet ticket that she paid for.
Spending 100,000 to walk the Cannes red carpet seems to have an irresistible attraction for stars around the world.
No, on the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the 76th Cannes that just took place in the early morning of May 17, there was another star-studded scene.
First, Internet celebrities walking the red carpet were questioned to buy tickets, unveiling a new model of Cannes red carpet
Every time the Cannes red carpet opens, the melon-eating masses are always happy to find "blanket stars" who use the red carpet to put gold on themselves, and this year everyone has targeted the Internet celebrity Cheng Shi'an, who has nearly 30 million fans.
On the Cannes red carpet, Cheng Shi'an appeared in a light pink bandeau feather dress and a pearl necklace, and his temperament was also more worthy than that of actors.
As a beauty blogger, she also posted her makeup photos before walking the red carpet, giving full play to her strengths.
Although Cheng Shi'an tries his best to show his talents, some people can't help but question: a beauty blogger, who has nothing to do with movies, how can he walk the Cannes red carpet?
Some even suspect that she bought sky-high tickets to make her trip to Cannes.
probably also saw the discussion of netizens, so Cheng Shian quickly left a message in the comment area, thanking a brand for its invitation and vindicating himself.
Cheng Shi'an's reply actually reveals a new way for celebrities to participate in the Cannes red carpet: no longer need to buy tickets, but get tickets through brands.
There are many brands that Cannes has cooperated with this year, and major brands also have a large number of admission tickets, which are generously open to artists.
Gong Li, Yi Yangqianxi, Guan Xiaotong, Liu Shishi, Gong Jun, Jia Nailiang, Yao Chen, Gao Ye, Zhong Chuxi and more than a dozen other stars were invited by cooperative brands to attend Cannes Film Festival related activities.
Don't look at the many Chinese stars who went to Cannes this year, in fact, only Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haoran, Tang Wei and Zhu Yilong really participated in the film festival because their works were shortlisted.
Film commercialization is already the trend of the times, and film festivals are inevitable. In the past, everyone called these acts of participating in film festivals without works "rubbing", but now it is the festival, brands and stars who take what they need, mutual benefit and win-win, which has become a new trend.
Second, Chinese celebrities poured into the Cannes red carpet, and the big scene had to depend on Gong Li
Because most Chinese artists were absent from the Cannes red carpet in previous years, there are really many Chinese artists on the red carpet of this year's opening ceremony.
1. Guan Xiaotong's stitched dress was well received
Guan Xiaotong wants to attend the red carpet, and people who like her can't help but pinch a cold sweat, because her dress level is really erratic.
Fortunately, this time in the face of global media, Guan Xiaotong played at a super level.
On that day, she wore Valentino haute couture dress, with a large black skirt that showed her modesty, and a silver bandeau that retained the lively temperament of a young woman.
The bandeau part has actually been changed, and when this skirt walks, the silver fabric on the chest is actually draped, only wrapped with a layer of tulle, but Guan Xiaotong sewed the silver part and the tulle together, which is more in line with the restrained aesthetic of Orientals.
2, Zhang Yuqi is bright and generous, and the neck flower is full of "careful machine"
Zhang Yuqi's set of styling has caused many people to complain at first glance, the key is the orange neck flower on the neck that is worn crookedly and looks particularly redundant.
Everyone is criticizing this flower for adding to the snake and strange aesthetics, but they don't know that in fact, this is just a "careful machine" by Zhang Yuqi.
Halfway through the red carpet, Zhang Yuqi took off the flower and threw it to the photography area, forming a good interaction with the crowd, and thus attracting a lot of shots, which has to be said to be a smart move.
Without the drag of this flower, Zhang Yuqi's shape instantly became bright and generous, like a cross-dress.
This bright dark V dress instantly reminds people of the fluorescent green dress she stunned when she walked the red carpet with the "White Deer Plain" crew 10 years ago.
After 10 years, Zhang Yuqi's face is not old, but her actions are obviously much more old, and a small neck flower is her growth.
3, Jiang Mengjie and Zhu Yilong are embarrassed that they are unattended
Although Chinese films have developed rapidly in recent years, their overseas influence is still limited, and actors often fall into the embarrassment of ignorance when facing foreign journalists.
Jiang Mengjie made a very bold look that day, a small bandeau with a trench coat, originally wanted to go to the red carpet to kill the special kill, but even if the style was out of line, it still did not attract the interest of photographers.
Jiang Mengjie walked the whole process, but did not get an official shot, and could only move forward with the crowd.
Facing a similar encounter with Jiang Mengjie is Zhu Yilong.
Although Zhu Yilong is very popular in China, he also fell into the embarrassment of no one on the Cannes red carpet.
When he walked to the red carpet shooting area to stop for shooting, more than half of the photographers standing in front of him focused their lenses on the foreign artists behind him.
However, Zhu Yilong showed good professionalism and still took the rest of the shots seriously.
And this time Zhu Yilong's "Mistake by the River" was shortlisted for the "A kind of attention" unit, which is a real work, although not many people know him now, but with the accumulation of good works, I believe that foreign media will also focus all their cameras on him in the future.
4, Gong Li supported the Chinese filmmaker row
Unlike other artists who need to bother to pay attention, Gong Li immediately became the focus of everyone as soon as she walked on the red carpet.
Some people say that Cannes specially cleared the venue for Gong Li for a minute, and some people explained through the long view that the venue was not cleared, but Gong Li happened to have no one before or after him when he walked the red carpet.
However, no matter what the case is, it is impossible to deny Gong Li's popularity on the Cannes red carpet. The moment she walked on the red carpet, the photographers burst into cheers, and all the cameras were immediately focused on her, and the flash was non-stop.
It is not surprising that Gong Li will receive such courtesy, after all, this is her 19th visit to the Cannes Film Festival.
She has won awards here, served as a judge, and when Gong Li attended the 72nd Cannes red carpet in 2016, the organizers even cleared her for 3 minutes.
In 2019, Gong Li was awarded the "Leaping Movie" award by Cannes, and she is the only Chinese actress to win this award so far.
Some people say that Gong Li is Cannes' "own daughter".
When the "own daughter" goes home, she naturally hopes to return home, so this time Gong Li also spent a lot of effort on dressing.
She wore a dark tight long-sleeved top with a black pleated skirt, and the whole person was full of aura, with the momentum of the return of the king.
Because the dark color is dull, Gong Li specially chose a complete set of sparkling diamond jewelry to match.
The diamonds on the neck are made of nearly 100 pieces, and at the bottom of the necklace are set with 3 emeralds, which are worth a lot.
He also wears a sparkling diamond necklace on his wrist, a highly iconic leopard diamond ring on the middle finger of his left hand, and even his handbag is wrapped in a full of diamond tassels.
Gong Li's body can be called a real pearl.
Gong Li's treatment on the red carpet in Cannes must be the envy of many people, but this is the strength she has accumulated through one work after another, and if the juniors also want to get the same courtesy as Gong Li one day, they can only film seriously and create better works.
3. Eye-catching international faces on the red carpet
There are also many familiar international faces on the red carpet, which also bring stunning looks.
Bollywood actress Isa Shipla staged the purest pink on the red carpet for the ultimate sexiness, and the left and right sides of this dress are completely two styles.
On the left is a plain stand-up collar dress, and on the right, it is like entering the Victoria's Secret show, the skirt opens to the hips, and the collar on the chest is wide open, revealing two lace-woven hibiscus flowers.
The whole set of looks are bright and beautiful, beautiful but not enchanting, and really good-looking.
American actress Allie Fanning appeared in Alexander McQueen's special dress.
She replaced the original metal tassel of the skirt with a pink petticoat, which has both rigid and soft temperament, both gentle and resolute.
79-year-old Oscar actor Michael Douglas attended with his wife and daughter, and his wife Catherine Zeta Jones also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which can be said to be a family actress.
The 54-year-old Catherine wore a rose red deep V dress with long wavy hair, and her charm remained unchanged.
Their daughter, who has just turned 20, wears a sheer dress with a sequin woven upper body and a completely hollowed out lower body.
A family of three standing on the red carpet is a bright color, and Cannes also specially cleared the red carpet for the family.
Victoria's Secret supermodel Alexandra Ambrosio walked the ancient Egyptian style, and a translucent wrapped deep V hoodie dress was worn by her to embody Cleopatra.
Interestingly, on the same day, Anne Hathaway also wore similar clothes at another event, and who did everyone think would look better in this style?
Another supermodel Paula Turani performed another sexy, a simple style of moon-white hip dress with a diamond necklace, curly hair scattered on one side, the finishing touch is dark red lipstick, the whole person is like a retro celebrity of the seventies and eighties, exuding sexy charm all over her body.
Fourth, the red carpet is over, and the work is returned
Whether it is the return of Chinese movie stars or the amazing international faces, the red carpet of this year's Cannes opening ceremony is still very interesting.
But the main course of the film festival is still the movie, and after the red carpet, it is also about to enter the selection of various units.
This time, Zhu Yilong, Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haoran and Tang Wei all came with their works, except for Zhu Yilong, the other 3 did not attend the red carpet of the opening ceremony, but will directly attend the selection ceremony of the film.
Among them, "Determination to Break Up" starring Tang Wei was shortlisted for the main competition unit, while Zhu Yilong's "Mistake by the River" and "Burning Winter" starring Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran were shortlisted for the "A kind of attention" unit.
Among the four people, Tang Wei's work has the highest probability of winning the award, and she has just won the throne after the Korean Baeksang Art Awards with this film, which is equivalent to an extra stepping stone to Cannes. Therefore, her trip to Cannes also seems very calm, and when others walk the red carpet, she eats instant noodles under the Eiffel Tower.
Shortlisting affirms that these shortlisted works prove their excellence, regardless of whether they have won awards or not.
I also hope that in various film festivals in the future, more Chinese actors will walk the red carpet with their works, whether it is Tang Wei's calmness or Gong Li's noodles, all of which come from the work.
You know, the work is the most gorgeous dress of an actor.
