As a small city, hotel accommodation in Cannes is very tight every year during the film festival. Some hotels even need to book half a year in advance, otherwise they may not be able to find suitable accommodation.
Of course, the sponsors of the festival have different worries. They all have their own long-term cooperative hotels, and even redesign the whole floor according to their own brand as an important part of the whole marketing. As a result, special guests invited by sponsors need not worry, they can always live in the corresponding hotels.
However, special guests of sponsors often stay for one or two nights. After their appearance and face brushing, they will leave Cannes immediately. After cleaning, the room is waiting for the next special guest of sponsors to move in. After all, they are different from the crew members who are shortlisted for the film festival.
Among many hotels, three top luxury hotels on Binhai Avenue have become the most popular places for guests.
Among them, the grand bariere hotel in Cannes is the official cooperation hotel of the film festival. It is only about 100 meters away from the film palace, and you can get on the red carpet when you go out. It has also become the designated hotel for the jury. Most of the famous guests in the main competition unit also stay here.
In addition, Dior, as the largest official sponsor of Cannes, has a floor in the grand ballier hotel. All the furniture, design, decoration and so on are designed by Dior himself, and Dior's special guests also live here. Their style is naturally different from others.
This year, both Langley and Ryan live here.
The sports car slowly stops on the driveway. The parking staff takes the initiative to meet him and takes the car key in Ryan's hand. Then the luggage staff is in place. Their eyes fall on lanli, but they are a little stunned——
What about the luggage?
With a polite smile, Lan Li handed his backpack to the luggage staff and confirmed, "that's all."
Such a small luggage, Lan Li can carry it by himself, it is not heavy; However, lanli knows that for these staff members, tips after providing services are their main source of income.
What's more, for the real nobles, except for their own handbags, all other luggage must be handed over to the luggage staff to enter the hotel with the most elegant and perfect posture. No one will carry their own luggage.
In the sixties and seventies, in the top hotels of the upper class in London, if a noble entered the hotel lobby and chose to carry his own luggage, even if it was just a small hat box or briefcase, it would spread to the whole noble class in less than 48 hours, and everyone knew, "that gentleman's family is in decline."
Hotel lobby, the microscope of society.
The luggage staff member muddled behind Lan Li and entered the hotel hall. Then he saw Lan Li stop and cast an inquiring sight. Without opening his mouth, he immediately followed, "Sir, West Wing, fifth floor."
"God." Ryan murmured in a low voice, "is that discrimination?"
Lan Li couldn't help laughing, "how about, or we two change the room?" Although I don't know what's going on, I can still make a judgment. It seems that his room should be good.
Ryan, however, waved, "the hat is too big."
"To be honest, if I had a choice, I would not choose here." Lan Li said honestly. The luggage boy standing next to him was a little surprised. Then he lowered his head and chuckled. "It's too central here. I can't meet too many fans or professional reporters. All the people in my sight are paparazzi; It's more like a propaganda ceremony than a film festival. "
Paparazzi are gathering in the lobby of the hotel.
When Raleigh and Ryan appeared together, the paparazzi all cheered up and raised their cameras one after another, ready to press the shutter for the first time to capture the scene in front of them; Then they saw that Lan Li turned his head and nodded to them with a smile. He was friendly and kind, but he killed them by surprise.
Ryan's smile quickly gathered around his eyes and began to laugh happily.
After a half shot, the shutter was pressed down one after another, and the flash light fell to the ground. You can obviously hear the click sound, the sudden acceleration sound, and then it became a piece. It was like a rainstorm, and you could see the figures of Langley and Ryan disappear in the elevator door.
The paparazzi in the hotel lobby couldn't help looking at each other: wasn't lanli blocked at the door of the private club just now? Why did you suddenly appear in the hotel? What's going on?
After arriving at the room, Langley finally understood what Ryan meant.
This is not a room, but a suite. It is 80 square meters in size. It has a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a spacious viewing window and a huge balcony embedded in the room. It presents an open pattern. The golden sun lights up the gentle color of the whole suite. Facing the coastline, you can have a panoramic view of the Movie Palace and the boundless Mediterranean scenery.
"My room is just a regular suite, but it's half the size here." Ryan make complaints about poker faced.
"You can stay here if you like." As he answered, Langley took out his wallet, a small silver piece of iron with a few pieces of cash embedded in it. He took out a twenty Euro ticket and handed it to the luggage clerk. "If Andy Rogers comes, invite him to my room. In addition, there are my assistants and managers. "
"No problem. Sir The luggage clerk, still smiling decently, stepped back from the room.
Turning around, you can see Ryan's strange expression, looking at lanli carefully, "you mean it? Deliberately trying to create a scandal, and then retaliate for my joke? " The paparazzi downstairs and the accommodation in the suite make it hard not to make people think about it. However, Lan Li did not respond with a smile.
Ryan had a proud look on his face. "Hey, hey, I won't be fooled."
Lanli still didn't speak. He looked at Ryan quietly, and then he could see with naked eyes that Ryan's expression became strange, "... That... The luggage worker just now? Are you implying him not to talk nonsense? Wait, wait, something's wrong! Why do I always feel trapped? Wait, no, no, I have to leave now, or should I stay, no, no, no, I should leave. "
Ryan walked back and forth in the room. Finally, he ran out and opened the door of the suite. Then he saw Andy Rogers ready to knock.
Two people exchanged a line of sight, Ryan also had no time to explain, turned back and added, "blue Li, see you at dinner today." As soon as I slipped, the sound of running reverberated in the corridor.
Andy holds the doorframe and blinks. "He... What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing." Lanli had an innocent look on his face.
He's serious. Just now, when he was facing the luggage staff, he didn't do anything, didn't remind him on time, and didn't plan. It was all Ryan's own wishful thinking. On the other hand, the name of "the great devil of pranks" now has a deterrent effect. That's a good thing.
Turning around, Lan Li walked onto the balcony, and the endless blue ran into his eyes. The smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently, and he couldn't help sighing, "if I had known, I would have come back directly." Lanli believes that the grand bariere hotel in Cannes is bound to have its own private beach, so the accident and toss just now are unnecessary.
But the question is... "How do we get this suite? There are a lot of big names this time. " Blue Li put forward his doubts, "I thought, this time can live in B & B."
After the "drunken folk" was finished, the Cohen brothers have been working hard on post production.
Cannes sincerely invited the Cohen brothers to visit this year's Film Festival; The Cohen brothers also expressed their positive will. However, the post editing and related production work is very complicated, and the Cohen brothers have no way to guarantee that they can meet the deadline.
Just as everyone thought that this work would miss Cannes this year, a lot of related reports appeared on social media, one after another expressing regret.
However, Thierry Fremaux, chairman of the selection committee of Cannes Film Festival, announced that the deadline was for the Cohen brothers to open up. They watched the first edited version internally and agreed to the shortlist of the main competition on the spot.
Since 2001, when he served as the chairman of the selection committee of Cannes Film Festival, tieri Fumao has become one of the most powerful top figures in the European film industry.
On the one hand, he needs to watch movies all the year round to ensure his taste of watching movies keeping pace with the times; On the other hand, he needs to assist Gilles Jacob, the festival's chairman, who is undoubtedly one of the top members of the European art film industry.
Within the scope of his authority, tieri's decision is beyond doubt. As a result, "drunken folk" stepped on the cut-off line to enter the main competition unit.
Because the last-minute trip to Cannes was decided, the hotel arrangement of the "drunken folk" crew became a problem. So, Lan Li just had what he said just now.
"Why does your voice sound a little strangled? Or do you prefer to live in B & B? " Andy said jokingly with a puzzled expression on his face, but he saw lanli shrug his shoulders, but he seemed to admit it with a smile.
Andy chuckled helplessly, and then explained the whole story. "Our reservation is too late, but the president of bariere group heard about it and arranged this suite for us. He is looking forward to the premiere of "drunken folk" in Cannes
