The 2024 Cannes Film Festival will be full of stars, with actresses competing on the red carpet, including Chinese faces Guan Xiaotong, Gong Li, Zhao Tao, Tong Liya, etc. Under the unrepaired lens of foreign media, their true state can be seen at a glance. Who can stand the test and bloom the beauty of the Orient?
On the Cannes red carpet, Guan Xiaotong chose to appear in a pink dress. At first glance, the fairy spirit is fluttering and very dreamy. But a closer look reveals some shortcomings, such as broad shoulders, dark skin, etc., which are slightly less refined. In addition, her hairstyle is a little old-fashioned, and the overall effect is greatly reduced, becoming the biggest rollover scene on the red carpet.
In contrast, the 40-year-old Tong Liya can be described as amazing. She was dressed in a silver-gray feather dress, elegant and girly. The slender ant waist outlines her good figure to the fullest.
As a frequent visitor to Cannes, Gong Li is on the red carpet for the 20th time. She has a strong aura and stands out from the crowd, even though her figure is plumper than before, it is more in line with Western aesthetics.
In terms of other actresses, Zhao Tao is dressed more conservatively, suspected of being fat, and wearing a haute couture dress with a bit of "local flavor".
Liang Jing and her husband Guan Hu appeared in love, and the two showed happiness.
Although Xiong Dailin's figure is angry, his face is slightly vicissitudes.
Among many Chinese actresses, Tong Liya and Gong Li are frequent visitors to Cannes, and they have appeared with their own works many times. Especially Gong Li, who has been in the film industry for decades, will appear in Cannes almost every year, and has formed an indissoluble bond with the film festival.
Zhao Tao has a close cooperative relationship with the famous director Jia Zhangke. In many of Jia Zhangke's works, Zhao Tao has played an important role, serving as the muse and source of inspiration for his creation. Every time the two are in the same frame, they reveal a tacit professional partnership.
As for Liang Jing, she is not only one of the highlights of this year's Cannes, but also the wife of director Guan Hu. The husband and wife have walked through the ups and downs of life hand in hand. Especially when Guan Hu's career was at a low point, Liang Jing gave him great support and encouragement. Now that the two can step on the Cannes red carpet together, it is even more precious.
In recent years, Chinese actresses have frequently appeared on the international stage, showing oriental charm and reflecting national self-confidence. An actor like Gong Li, with his superb acting skills and temperament, has long become the representative and pride of Chinese films.
But on the whole, Chinese actresses dress relatively conservatively on the Cannes red carpet, rarely wearing cheongsam and other clothing that can highlight national characteristics. Although each has its own style, it is difficult to truly show the beauty of oriental charm.
Among them, there may be differences in aesthetic taste, and there are also factors such as insufficient recognition of oriental aesthetics. As an Asian face, in order to "compete for beauty" in Western-dominated film festivals, in addition to its own charm, cultural self-confidence is also essential.
The performance of Chinese actresses on the Cannes red carpet is remarkable, showing their unique charm. But in order to truly "glamorous", we also need cultural self-confidence and recognition of oriental aesthetics. I look forward to more Eastern faces like Gong Li who can conquer the world in the future and shine on the world stage. I also hope that cheongsam and other clothing containing oriental aesthetics can become our cultural symbols, so that the world can re-understand and appreciate the beauty of oriental women.
