The Festival de Cannes has always been one of the top events in the film industry, attracting countless film stars and celebrities to dress up in the camera. However, on yesterday's red carpet, a pair of men and women wearing "dragon robes" and "phoenix robes" appeared, holding a strange movie poster, and performing a peculiar rain performance, which surprised the audience at the scene and on the Internet.
The outfits of the man and woman attracted a lot of attention. Men wore a golden dragon robe with a golden crown on their heads, while women wore royal blue phoenix robes. Although their costumes are glittering with gold, they clearly lack fine craftsmanship and are very different from traditional costumes, which are obviously hastily prepared to attract attention.
What's even funnier is that they showed a poorly designed movie poster on the red carpet, announcing the upcoming release of the film "Blossom Sisters". Subsequently, the two began to imitate the ancient ritual of praying for rain, using various bizarre props and making prayer movements, which caused the audience to laugh. This behavior is too exaggerated on the red carpet to make people laugh and cry.
On the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, a man and woman attracted attention when they showed a poster of the crudely made film "Blossom Sisters" and announced that the film would be released on the 22nd. The poster's low-quality production is far from worthy of the international reputation of the Festival de Cannes. What's even more confusing is that the man and woman also played the ancient ritual of praying for rain, and staged a performance on the red carpet with props.
This series of actions not only surprised and dissatisfied the media and viewers present, but also sparked widespread criticism on social media. Netizens left messages questioning: "Are they here to lose face?" "Such an act is neither respectful of one's own culture nor of an international event like Cannes."
As one of the most well-known film festivals in the world, the Festival de Cannes attracts many international filmmakers and stars every year, and is an important occasion to showcase the art of cinema and fashion trends. And this year, the appearance of the man and woman seems to add a different color to the festival tradition.
The purpose of the man and woman was to promote their upcoming film, Blossom Sisters. Although they attract attention by wearing "dragon robes" and "phoenix robes", which are characteristic of Chinese culture, which symbolize imperial power and dignity in Chinese culture. However, the quality of their costumes is crude and fails to properly display the delicacy and dignity of traditional Chinese culture.
On the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, an "American Internet celebrity" wearing a big red Northeast flower jacket attracted everyone's attention. Ignoring the staff's discouragement, she insisted on "showcasing Chinese culture" on the red carpet. Unfortunately, apart from the tacky padded jacket, her understanding of Chinese culture seems very superficial.
Even more striking are several characters dressed as "Mango Ice", who perform clumsily under the flashing lights, and the scene becomes chaotic for a while. Even the stars who are supposed to be the focus of attention have been robbed of their luster by these self-proclaimed "crazy" figures.
It's puzzling how these non-professionals got into Cannes? It turns out that by paying an agent, they can buy the "privilege" of walking the red carpet like a star. Some people spend as much as 100,000 yuan just to get exposure for this moment. Still, they can't walk the entire red carpet like real stars, and can only rush in from the side.
This situation is frustrating and infuriating. The Festival de Cannes has always been a model of international cinema and has given birth to countless classics. Now, it is tarnished by these bottomless behaviors, which is undoubtedly a great desecration of film art, which makes people feel regretful and disappointed.
The outfits of these Internet celebrities are more like coming to a comic convention than a film festival. Two of them even chose the costumes of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, which was a surprise.
Although there have been celebrities who have walked the red carpet in similar traditional costumes in the past, the outfits of these two influencers seem to be quite cheap, as if they were low-cost costumes purchased online.
Ancient Chinese dragon robes and phoenix robes are finely handmade, each embroidered pattern is lifelike, and the use of fabrics that are both comfortable and expensive, showing an aesthetic that is both atmospheric and elegant.
In contrast, the two influencers' outfits exude a cheap feel from head to toe. What's even more incomprehensible is that while they are wearing dragon robes and phoenix robes, they are wearing simple flip-flops under their feet, which is really difficult to call decent or appropriate.
Although the three young ladies are slightly homely, they are still within the acceptable range of the film festival. However, just as they were showing off their style on the red carpet, a group of self-proclaimed "Chinese culture" Internet celebrities suddenly appeared, their colorful outfits and bells and whistles, making the scene lively and lively, like a grand chrysanthemum exhibition.
One of the influencers, with her shoulders exposed, wears a beige top and a colorful and layered feather skirt on the bottom, which looks like a giant duck; Another internet celebrity, who calls himself the "Big Flower of Northeast China", wore a bright and exaggerated large-flower padded jacket and an equally fancy headscarf around his head, which may be common in rural Northeast China, but appeared at the Cannes Film Festival.
What's even more unbelievable is that an internet celebrity who calls himself "Jade Emperor" actually appeared on the stage wearing flip-flops and holding a pennant like a theatrical character, making it feel as if the entire cast of a country stage play was invited to perform live.
The netizens present were stunned, criticizing these Internet celebrities who claimed to be "promoting Chinese culture", questioning their aesthetic choices, thinking that such a sloppy look dared to claim to be the representative of China, which was not only embarrassing, but also may have scared away many international audiences, which is really embarrassing.
This incident reflects the question of how we can properly promote traditional Chinese culture on the international stage. China has a long history and splendid culture, and is particularly unique in terms of clothing, such as traditional costumes such as hanfu and dragon robes, which occupy an irreplaceable place in world culture.
Therefore, showcasing these cultural elements on the international stage at the right time is undoubtedly a good opportunity to promote the understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture by the outside world. However, this display must be based on a deep understanding and respect for traditional cultures, and not just for the sake of show-off or hype.
Only when we present Chinese culture in the right way and on the right occasion can we win the recognition and love of international friends, so as to effectively spread the traditional Chinese aesthetics, instead of giving people the impression of being strange or misunderstood.
Obviously, this is not only the responsibility of those Internet celebrities who participated in the event, but the common responsibility of every Chinese, each of us is the representative and disseminator of Chinese culture.
Another Internet celebrity, Zhang Tianqi, cleverly took advantage of the heated discussion on the Internet last year about Dior's plagiarism of horse-faced skirts, wearing horse-faced skirts and holding folding fans on the red carpet. When he unfolded the folding fan, it read: "Not Dior From China" — four words that were particularly eye-catching on the international red carpet, and although his aim may have been to increase exposure, the act was praised as a sign of boldness.
At the same time, the Internet celebrity Qianhui wore a feather-length trailing dress, which successfully attracted the lenses of many photographers, and even got a one-minute close-up on the official website, which instantly became the focus and surpassed the attention of many domestic stars.
Chie confessed that she was originally a stage actor, but because of parenting, she rarely appeared in the public eye, and turned to become a blogger. Although she claims not to be an internet celebrity in the traditional sense, this appearance at the Cannes Film Festival has undoubtedly made her famous.
Netizens expressed their disappointment, accusing some influencers of turning the festival into their personal show, believing that these actions have reduced the quality of the festival. They point out that on such a big occasion, the difference between influencers and real stars becomes especially obvious. This gap is not simply covered by popularity, but requires a long period of professional refinement and image cultivation.
At the same time, some netizens criticized the Cannes red carpet for being over-mythologized, in fact, as long as you can afford the money, anyone can buy the opportunity to enter, the red carpet tickets are as high as hundreds of thousands, and money seems to have become the only threshold for admission.
Despite this, there are still many powerful stars who maintain the high style of the festival. For example, Tang Wan and Tong Liya's outfits that day were widely praised, especially Tong Liya, whose dress style highlighted her perfect figure and won wide acclaim from netizens.
