Speaking of the recent hot spots in the entertainment industry, it must be the big news that the movie "Jiangyuan Lane" was successfully shortlisted for the non-competition screening section of the Cannes Film Festival. This movie has already attracted enough attention even before it was released, if for no other reason than its starring role - Zhang Ziyi, the international chapter.
From her first Cannes appearance in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000, to later "House of Flying Daggers", and then to serving as a judge at Cannes, Zhang Ziyi has been so solid and dazzling every step she takes. It can be said that Zhang Ziyi is a business card of Chinese-language films and a beautiful sight in the international film world.
This time, Zhang Ziyi will once again step onto the red carpet of Cannes as the starring role of "Jiaoyuan Lane". This is her return to this international stage after four years. It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Fumao, the director of the film festival, also specifically mentioned Zhang Ziyi, which shows her status in the international film industry.
Zhang Ziyi's fans cheered even more. They all said that Zhang Ziyi will definitely win the grand prize again with "Jiang Yuan Nong" this time. After all, there are a total of four Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Cannes Out-of-Competition section, and Zhang Ziyi alone has three of them. This strength is not overwhelming.
However, in addition to Zhang Ziyi, everyone is also concerned about whether two other popular actresses in the Chinese film industry - Zhao Liying and Yang Mi will also appear on the red carpet in Cannes.
You must know that these two post-85s actresses are the best in the entertainment industry, both in terms of appearance and acting skills. Their addition will undoubtedly make the movie even more popular.
However, when it comes to Zhao Liying and Yang Mi, the overt and covert fighting between these two people has never stopped. Fans also fight fiercely for their idols. During the filming of this movie, the two never even met, which also made people lament the fierce competition in the entertainment industry.
If Zhao Liying and Yang Mi can really walk on the red carpet in Cannes, it will undoubtedly be a huge improvement to their status in the film industry.
Think about it, what a rare opportunity it is to be able to compete with a superstar like Zhang Ziyi on the international stage!
But judging from the current situation, the chances of Zhao Liying and Yang Mi attending Cannes are not high.
A very important reason is that these two actresses may not want to appear in the same frame. After all, the competitive relationship between them has always been very subtle. Once they appear in the same frame, the debate on the Internet will probably cause an uproar.
But having said that, whether Zhao Liying and Yang Mi go to Cannes or not, their roles and performances in the movie "Jiaoyuan Lane" cannot be ignored.
Of course, at this Cannes Film Festival, whether Zhao Liying and Yang Mi attend or not, Zhang Ziyi will be the biggest winner. Her strength, her status, and her influence are unmatched by other actresses.
Let's wait and see if Zhang Ziyi can shine on the Cannes stage again with "Jiang Yuan Lane" this time!
Speaking of this, I have to mention the former superstar Fan Bingbing. Back then, Fan Bingbing was also a heavyweight in the Chinese film industry, appearing on the red carpet at Cannes many times and enjoying great fame. However, now, Fan Bingbing has gradually faded out of the public eye, but Zhang Ziyi is still firmly in the forefront.
A few days ago, Fan Bingbing was encountered by netizens while traveling in Thailand. She was riding a tricycle through the streets and alleys. Many people complained about her "price reduction".
At the same time, Zhang Ziyi is about to appear on the red carpet in Cannes wearing a haute couture dress. The gap is not as big as usual!
Of course, everyone has their own choices and life trajectories, and we can't comment too much on other people's lives. Just from the perspective of status in the film industry, Zhang Ziyi has indeed been ahead of the curve.
