Chapter 228 Wachowski brothers or siblings?

Lou Ye's crew arrived two days later than Chen An.

With Zhou Xun's introduction, the two sides got to know each other.

The two had worked together in the original "Suzhou River", helping Zhou Xun win the Best Actress Award at the Paris Film Festival.

Interestingly, when the film went to the Paris International Film Festival, Zhou Xun was the only person representing the Suzhou River crew.

Of course, Zhou Xun, who didn't know any English, went to Paris, France, a foreign country, alone.

Received the Best Actress and Best Picture awards.

One doesn't care about anything, and the other is a real tiger.

And I also know one or two people from the crew of "Purple Butterfly", the leading actors being Zhang Ziyi and Liu Ye.

Otherwise, how can we say that Zhang Ziyi has really risen to fame overnight? In just a few years, she has starred in well-known works by major directors, has one foot in Hollywood, and has attended major film festivals.

"Hello."

Lou Ye stretched out his hand, shook hands with Chen An, and then said two words.

He is a man of few words and rather taciturn.

Chen An didn't care and just greeted him.

Instead, Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "Director Chen, we are so destined to meet again."

"Yeah." Chen An nodded. Indeed, he could meet you everywhere.

Gong Li was also watching from the side, and seemed to have no intention of getting to know him.

However, Zhou Xun could occasionally chat with Lou Ye.

Instead, Liu Ye took the initiative to find Chen An and said, "Hello, Director Chen. I'm Liu Ye. This is our first meeting. I often hear Kun'er mention you."

Chen An wanted to laugh when he saw the smiling face that was neither handsome nor ugly.

I remember when I was at the Central Academy of Drama, I was standing at the back of the class, jumping around to see what I looked like.

"I remember you. When I went to the Central Academy of Drama, I saw you standing at the back of the class, jumping up and down. It was a vivid memory."

"I didn't expect you to remember. I wanted to meet Director Chen, the best director at Cannes."

Liu Ye scratched the back of his head embarrassedly. He didn't expect that the other party still remembered such an old story.

"I was there back then. Director Chen wouldn't just pay attention to Liu Ye, would he?" Zhang Ziyi suddenly interrupted upon hearing this.

"I'm afraid so. That's all I remember."

Chen An really didn't remember, he was mainly visiting Zeng Li at that time.

Thinking about it, the youthful and beautiful short-haired version of Zeng Li seems a bit out of date. Now she looks like a crazy woman.

After the two sides chatted for a while, Chen An said goodbye to each other.

There was something else going on today, but Zhou Xun stayed and Chen An didn't mind.

I called Gong Li and we set off together. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and today we have to go and pick up Ge Da Ge who has arrived.

It is really hard for him to participate in the three major film festivals. He has to take a train for several days every time.

When I met the other party, he was dressed as if he was traveling.

"Uncle Ge, sometimes I'm really afraid that you'll get lost on the road."

After picking up the call, Chen An, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but turn around and say to Mr. Ge and his wife in the back seat.

"I worry about nothing all the time."

"You don't feel tired after traveling such a long distance by train for several days. What if you need to go to the United States in the future?"

"You are too young to understand that the scenery along the train is quite good. After traveling through the mountains and plains of our motherland, the grasslands and snow fields are very beautiful."

Uncle Ge smiled. The train was indeed a bit slow, but the scenery along the way was so beautiful that people would not want to leave.

If it hadn't taken so long, he would really like to come and sit here when he has nothing to do.

"Yes, I also took a ride with Ge You once. The scenery is really nice and not boring. Sometimes it's good to go a little slower."

Gong Li next to him also said with a smile: "It spans the entire Eurasian continent, and all the wonders of nature are in it. Sometimes it feels so beautiful that it is unbelievable."

Mountains, lakes, plains, grasslands, and snow-capped mountains.

After passing through a tunnel, the originally lush jungle turned into frost and snow, as if it was separated by a whole world!
This is something you can't experience on an airplane.

After almost ten years, Mr. Ge and his wife arrived at the hotel, put down their luggage, and went out for a walk.

Judging from the travel outfit, it seems that he had planned this in advance.

The plane that took off from Los Angeles finally landed in Cannes.

The crew of "Batman Begins" finally arrived at the film festival.

Also traveling with them were the crew of "The Matrix 2".

After all, they are all Warner's projects, so naturally they can be arranged on one plane.

As soon as they landed, the two crews were surrounded by media reporters.

Jerry got off the plane with the producer and director of the other crew, the Wachowski brothers.

However, Jerry had also heard that the older brother of the two, Larry Wachowski, was trying to have a sex change, and perhaps the brothers would become siblings soon.

Following that were the two main actors of the show, Batman Bale and the savior Keanu Reeves.

When the two leading actors appeared, they waved and greeted the media present.

The reporters who had been waiting for a long time gathered around.

"Mr. Jerry and Mr. Bell, is this screening at the Cannes Film Festival because another of Chen's works happened to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's film festival?"

Bell faced the camera, glanced at Jerry, and said nothing.

Jerry nodded and said to the media: "My meeting and cooperation with Chen started in Cannes, so when Cannes invited the crew this time, I agreed without thinking. I hope that the screening and Cannes will make the film as successful as before."

If Chen An didn't know how to start speaking here, Jerry would almost praise Chen An to the sky.

The reporters were shocked to hear this explosive content!
It was really because Chen's work was shortlisted that Jerry let the film be screened in Cannes first!

"So this time, Mr. Jerry and the crew, is Chen You waiting outside the airport, having already arrived?"

"That's not the case. Chen said he had thought about your enthusiasm, so he hid first. I found out that he was really right."

Jerry smiled at the reporters.

The scene was almost packed with people because there were not only the crew of "Batman Begins" but also the crew of "The Matrix 2".

It has almost attracted most of the media arriving in Cannes.

This is the appeal of Hollywood blockbusters, even if they do not participate in the film festival competition.

The crew of "The Matrix 2" was also surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Wachowski, is this Cannes screening a preparation for the film's global release?"

The older brother looked at his younger brother and chose to let him answer.

The younger brother explained to the media: "We participated in Cannes because it is one of the most popular film festivals in the world. It can help the film get greater exposure, and I believe that the film festival can accomplish this."

Although this is true, one certainly cannot speak as bluntly as Jerry.

The film has already premiered in its home city of Westwood, but is now being exhibited in Cannes to expand distribution channels and prepare for its global release.

The main reason is that the film was released during the Cannes Film Festival.

But "Batman Begins" is not like that, so Jerry directly said that he came for Chen.

But Cannes is indeed a means of publicity.

It would be even better if Chen could win the award, the publicity would be absolutely amazing!
The interview ended only after the reporters had asked enough questions, and the two crews began to head to the hotels they had booked in advance.

And the hotel Jerry booked was naturally the one where Chen An lived.

When he entered the hotel, Chen An was already waiting there.

Looking at Jerry's silly look wearing sunglasses late at night, I didn't know how to start.
