The sky is blue and cloudless. Today is no different from usual. The moon left early and the sun hangs high in the sky as usual. However, Cannes seems a little more restless than usual.
In the room, Sato Shizuka opened her suitcase. Inside was a pile of colorful clothes. Sato Shizuka picked out a black dress, put it on her arm, and handed it to the big condor sitting on the left.
"Isn't it blue that I tried on before? Why is it black?"
I touched the fabric of the dress. It had a fine texture and a satin-like feel. The whole dress was dark and shiny in the sun. It was worth a lot at first glance.
Before coming to Cannes, the invitation letter given by Kore-eda Hirokazu stated that you should bring a dress. The dress code of Cannes is that male actors must wear a dress and a bow tie, but not a tie, while actresses are casual. It's said to be casual, but according to the clothes of the Great Condor, it is probably just a sweatshirt. Casual is not that casual. Naturally, the operation aspect is contracted by the Great Condor's clothes.
A few days before she came, the Great Condor began to try on clothes. Nogizaka's costume designer and stylist personally checked and tried on one piece after another. She couldn't even remember how many sets of clothes she changed at that time.
"This one of yours is for the red carpet. I have prepared seven sets for you, for red carpets, photocall conferences, watching movies, interviews, cocktail parties, and magazine shoots. You can't wear the same outfit for all occasions. "Shizuka Sato put her hand on her waist and said to her little ancestor, "Remember not to break it, you have to return it, it belongs to CELFORD."
"CELFORD? Is it expensive?"
"But your black one costs 33,000 yen a day."
"...."
The Great Condor raised the 'sky-high price' piece of clothing in her hand. Somehow, she felt that she didn't deserve to wear it.
"Okay, stop looking. Change quickly. We have to go out soon. We have to walk to the Festival Palace."
"I know, I know. I thought the car would pick me up and drop me off."
"You are so beautiful."
The curtains were drawn, the door bolts were locked, and the Great Condor took off all his clothes, leaving only a set of underwear. The black shoulder straps slid up her shoulders, which was obviously in inverse proportion to her white shoulders. The black dress reached to her ankles, just enough to expose her small feet. The matching pair is a pair of simple black low-heeled shoes, which make a clicking sound on the ground, a bit like a tap dance sound.
"I thought I could choose something white to wear." The Great Condor adjusted the folds of the dress and turned around in the mirror to check whether it was neatly dressed.
"White, do you know what styles your three sisters are wearing?"
Sitting on the stool, admiring the Great Condor's perfect figure with some minor flaws, she looked into the Great Condor's eyes in the mirror and asked.
"What."
"Ayase-san is wearing white, Nagasawa-san is wearing blue and green, and Kaho is all blue. It's not good for you to wear white again. It's a contrasting color. It looks good, and it steals the spotlight from your sister. , not as good-looking as your sister, aren’t you just slapping yourself in the face?”
Sato Shizuka patiently explained that as the Great Condor's manager, she takes every step very carefully.
"..." After hearing this, the Great Condor couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, "You are just too..."
"Too much."
"nothing."
"You definitely didn't hold it in."
"How is that possible? You are my agent!" the Great Condor said righteously.
"That's almost it. Here."
Saying that, Shizuka Sato hooked up a pair of shorts from the bed and threw them to the great condor.
"what."
"Safety pants."
"I believe you even if you say these are shorts." Glancing at the black safety pants in her hands, the Great Condor sighed, but she still put them on strangely. It was this noble and elegant dress that matched her safety pants. The posture is a bit funny.
"Tsk, you have a really nice figure."
"Humph." The great condor raised its head proudly.
"It's flat and flat, in the shape of a straight line, with no bumps or convexities at all."
"...If you can't speak, stop talking. Please."
The great condor had a black line on his face.
Time waits for no one, and there is only so much time for her to prepare. With the help of Sato Shizuka, the Great Condor also finished dressing up before setting off. Including Hirokazu Kore-eda, the five of them set off from the hotel. This hotel was not far from the Festival Palace, and it only took about fifteen minutes to walk.
It must be said that Ayase Haruka and others are worthy of being actresses for many years. Their temperament has been improved by several levels when they put on formal clothes. The beauty of the Great Condor is no less impressive in front of them, but in terms of aura, she, a little girl, still looks a little immature. Some.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've been here."
On the way, looking at the surrounding scenery, Nagasawa Masami, who was next to the big condor, sighed.
"Sister Yami, have you been here before?"
"I came here once last year to attend Cannes." Masami Nagasawa raised her hand to block the sun, "But not many people took pictures. Hahaha."
She herself is very optimistic and unabashedly self-deprecating.
When we arrived at the entrance of the Festival Palace, the street across from the red carpet was already full of passers-by. Most of them were fans of a certain actor. The photographers on both sides of the red carpet at the entrance of the Festival Palace had already set up their equipment, and they were still taking pictures in front of them. With. The five people followed the staff's instructions and walked to the red carpet, where a foreign host had been waiting for a long time.
The host asked some questions about the movie, such as why director Hirokazu Kore-eda wanted to make this film, what the film is mainly about, what impressions the actors have of each other, and what kind of roles they play. After just asking briefly, they let them go and stepped onto the red carpet in Cannes.
As the five people walked forward, they could not hear the lights on both sides. Even though they were far away, the big condor could still hear the "click" sound of the shutter. At this time, she was in a trance and was stunned for a while.
"Let's go. Don't be nervous, everyone has a first time."
It was Nagasawa Masami who pulled her, and the great condor's rooted feet started to move.
In my impression, the red carpet in Cannes has always given the Great Condor the illusion of being very long. Now that I look at it, this red carpet is a bit ridiculously short, but it is indeed the most watched red carpet in the world.
For the first time, the Great Condor, who had always been idle, felt the world's respect for movies.
After the red carpet, the creative team entered the theater lounge to wait. There were many people here, including countless actors and directors. Some of them knew each other, some they didn’t know, some they were familiar with, and some they were unfamiliar with. But without exception, they were all from various countries this year. Most powerful actor and director. But there were not only actors and directors present, but people from other industries besides the film and television industry.
The next few days were filled with cocktail parties, interviews, magazine interviews, and magazine shoots. It was quite interesting at first, but it continued like this for several days in a row. The answer every day was related to the movie. She almost memorized the lines, and gradually became more and more interested. Feeling a little bored.
