Because Han Lan refused to compromise, she even threatened to kill them.

Therefore, the recruitment of actors for "Zhu Xian" still cannot return to normal, and the progress is much slower than originally planned.

It is true that casting a wide net to recruit actors from major colleges can find many good talents with talent and even a lot of experience, but it is also very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Even though the crew later opened up an online registration channel and optimized the registration and audition mechanism, the casting process was not completed until mid-May.

On the other hand, "Angel Angela" was successfully registered as early as mid-April. It has been through many obstacles all the way, and now it has received an invitation letter to be shortlisted for the film festival.

Han Lan also temporarily put aside the domestic disturbances and went to attend the Cannes Film Festival with Encore, who had achieved some success in losing weight.

The Cannes Film Festival, as its name suggests, is a film festival held in Cannes, a city in Gaul.

For this city to become a popular tourist city, the local environment and hardware facilities are one thing, but more importantly, it is because of the Cannes Film Festival. It is known to people all over the world, mainly because of the film festival.

After all, it is one of the four major film festivals in the world and has produced countless classic films and outstanding actors and filmmakers.

The Cannes Film Festival starts in mid-May every year and lasts for almost a month. During this period, it is the focus of movie lovers from all over the world. Of course, it is also the focus of "red carpet enthusiasts".

Cannes will also see peak tourist flow during this month.

The hotels in this place are already luxurious and expensive, and the prices during the film festival are even more unaffordable for ordinary people. Therefore, every year during the film festival, you can always see Western tourists carrying big bags taking things as they come.

Of course, accommodation is obviously not a problem for Han Lan and his party. What they are more concerned about now is what awards they can win this year.

Unlike the "Universal Gramophone" Music Awards, the Cannes Film Festival does not have individual nominations. In other words, the twenty-four shortlisted films have the opportunity to compete for every award. Moreover, according to convention, they can at least win

A consolation prize, in fact, being shortlisted is already considered as winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

But the most important awards still have to be fought for.

The main competition of the Cannes Film Festival adopts the form of screening. The twenty-four shortlisted films are all freshly released films that have been shot in the past twelve months and have not participated in any film festivals. They will be screened in the next two months.

For fourteen days, a movie will be premiered here every day. It will then be evaluated by a jury and the winners of each award will be announced after the screening.

The order of movie premieres was randomly drawn, and Tomahawk Entertainment's "Angela" was picked at No. 21, which was very far back.

So this time Han Lan mainly came with the crew to go through the procedures. After making an appearance, she would go back to China and come back to participate when it was their turn to screen the film or start the awards ceremony.

There is no other way, there are still three movies in China that need his help to keep an eye on. And this time at the film festival, Ankeke is the protagonist.

The other shortlisted films are actually like this. Everyone is very busy, so basically just leave a few idle people to represent them, and then come back after the awards ceremony.

As a result, just as Han Lan was about to return to China, she met an acquaintance in the hotel corridor—Albert.

To be precise, Albert should have been deeply impressed by him, but he actually had no impression of Albert at all.

But after the two of them looked at each other, Han Lan quickly thought of him.

Isn't this the director of "Black Hand 3" that he competed with during the Spring Festival? He was allegedly tricked into the police station by Lin Guiyi, and in the end the movie "Black Hand 3" was also forced to be released.

The road between enemies is narrow.

The corners of Han Lan's lips raised slightly, and she went up to say hello: "Director Albert, right? I have admired you for a long time."

"Han Lan? I didn't expect you to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival this year?"

Albert became angry when he saw this damn Chinese. Although his arrest had nothing to do with this Chinese, he just hated this Chinese.

If he hadn't been trying to compete with him for popularity, Albert wouldn't have been depressed; if he hadn't been depressed, Albert wouldn't have agreed to the agent's invitation to find a woman; if he hadn't been looking for a woman, he wouldn't have been caught and exposed

The scandal resulted in the film being forced off the shelves.

Therefore, Han Lan still has the responsibility!

Listening to Albert's weird words, Han Lan also smiled back and said: "Yeah, isn't this a new movie that has been shortlisted? Come here. Director Albert, it is a pity that he failed to distinguish himself last time in China.

Come down, this time we can have a good discussion and learn from each other."

Albert was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Hahaha, that may disappoint you. I don't have that many new movies. I'm here to be a judge."

"???" Han Lan.

Albert patted his shoulder meaningfully and left with a smile.

"Han... Han Shuai, you seem to have offended the judges." Fang Qiaorui, who was following Han Lan, was also dumbfounded and came up to remind him.

Han Lan scratched her ears, then subconsciously looked back at the direction Albert left: "This bitch is actually a judge?"

"Han Shuai, what should I do?"

"Em...you said, if the Cannes Film Festival suddenly loses one judge, it won't have much impact, right?"

"???" Fang Qiaorui.

Of course, Han Lan was just joking. He had already washed his hands of gold. How could he do such an immoral thing? Moreover, the jury is not just Albert, the film festival competition system will also have relevant systems.

to ensure the fairness of the ratings.

He was just trying to scare Han Lan.

But Han Lan was not too frightened, and he figured it out after a while. He just asked the crew to pay more attention to guard against this guy making other tricks, and then returned home.

…

…

Back in the room, Albert waved, and the assistant came over: "Mr. Albert."

"I remember there was only one Chinese film shortlisted this year, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Abbott, it's called "Angel Angela" and it's scheduled to be screened on the 21st day. But this movie is a movie with a female protagonist, and Han Lan should just accompany it."

Albert nodded: "Fortunately, I don't want to see the face of this annoying Chinese now. No, I hate all Chinese now!"

"Mr. Albert, you still need to pay attention to your words outside. It is not wise to provoke the Chinese now."

"I know. You can help me talk to the organizing committee. I want to know what the quality of this movie is and whether it has a high probability of winning the award."

"Mr. Albert, I'm afraid they won't say..."

"Let's ask in the name of Snow Moteng Film Company and give it a try."
