As a small city, hotel accommodation in Cannes is very tight every year during the film festival. Some hotels even need to be booked six months in advance, otherwise you may not be able to find suitable accommodation..
Of course, the film festival sponsors have different worries. They all have their own long-term cooperative hotels and even redesign the entire floor according to their own brand, which is an important part of the entire marketing. Therefore, the special guests invited by the sponsors do not have to worry. , you can always stay in the corresponding hotel.
However, special guests from sponsors often only stay for one or two nights. After making an appearance, they leave Cannes immediately, and the cleaned rooms are waiting for the next special guests from sponsors to check in. After all, they and The crew members who were shortlisted for the film festival screening are still different..
Among many hotels, three top luxury hotels located on the Esplanade have become the most popular residences for guests..
Among them, the Majestic Barrière Hotel in Cannes is the official partner hotel of the film festival. It is only about 100 meters away from the Film Palace. You can board the red carpet when you go out. It has also become the designated hotel for the jury and a big name in the main competition unit. Most of the guests stayed here.
In addition, Dior, as the largest official sponsor of Cannes, has a floor in the Majestic Barriere Hotel in Cannes. All furniture, design, decoration, etc. are all from Dior's own official designs, and Dior's special guests also live there. Therefore, the style is naturally different.
Renly and Wren both live here this year.
The sports car stopped slowly in the driveway. The parking staff took the initiative to greet him and took the car key from Ryan's hand. Then the baggage staff was also in place, and their eyes fell on Renly, but there was something in a daze——
Where is the luggage?？
Renly showed a polite smile, handed the backpack in his hand to the baggage staff, and confirmed, "This is all.”
Renly can carry such a small luggage by himself, and it is not heavy in the first place; but Renly knows that for these staff, tips after providing services are their main source of income..
What's more, for a true aristocrat, except for your own handbag, all other luggage must be handed over to the baggage staff and enter the hotel in the most elegant and perfect manner. No one will carry their own luggage.
In the 1960s and 1970s, in the top hotels of London's upper class society, if an aristocrat entered the hotel lobby and chose to carry his own luggage, even if it was just a small hat box or briefcase, in less than 48 hours, This incident will also spread throughout the aristocracy, and everyone will know, "That gentleman's family fortune has declined.".”
Hotel lobby, social microscope.
The baggage staff followed Renly ignorantly and entered the hotel lobby. Then he saw Renly stop and cast a questioning look. He immediately followed Renly without opening a word. , "Sir, West Wing, Fifth Floor.”
“God." Ryan muttered in a low voice, "Is this differential treatment?？”
Renly couldn't help but chuckled, "How about, how about the two of us change rooms?" Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he could probably make a judgment. It seemed that his room should be good..
Ryan waved his hands repeatedly, "The hat is too big..”
“To be honest, if I had a choice, I wouldn't choose here." Renly said honestly. The luggage boy standing next to him was slightly stunned, then he lowered his head, pursed his lips and snickered, "This place is really too central. There aren’t too many movie fans, and there aren’t too many professional reporters. Everything in sight is paparazzi; it’s more like a publicity ceremony than a film festival..”
The entire hotel lobby was filled with paparazzi who were ready to go..
When Renly and Ryan appeared together, the paparazzi all cheered up and raised their cameras, preparing to press the shutter immediately to capture the scene in front of them; then, they saw Renly turn around He turned around and nodded towards them with a smile on his face. His generous gesture was friendly and cordial, but it completely caught them off guard..
The smile in Ryan's eyes quickly gathered and he laughed happily.
After a pause for half a shot, the shutter was pressed one after another, and the flashes were sparsely connected. You can clearly hear the clicking sound and the sudden acceleration, and then they became one, overwhelming like a torrential rain. Come down and watch Renly and Ryan disappear into the elevator door..
The paparazzi in the hotel lobby couldn't help but look at each other: Wasn't Renly blocked at the entrance of the private club just now? Why did you suddenly show up at the hotel? What's going on?？
After arriving in the room, Renly finally understood what Ryan meant..
This is not a room, but a suite, which is eighty square meters in size. It has a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and... a spacious picture window and a huge balcony embedded in the room, completely showing an open layout with golden sunlight spots. The gentle color of the entire suite brightens up. Facing the coastline, you can have a panoramic view of the Cinema Palace and the boundless Mediterranean Sea..
“My room is just a junior suite, but half the size here." Ryan complained seriously..
“If you want, you can stay here for the night." Renly replied as he took out his money clip, a small silver loop-shaped iron piece with several cash bills embedded in it, and took out one Twenty euros was handed to the baggage staff, "If Andy Rogers comes over, invite him to my room. In addition, there will be my assistant and manager.".”
“No problem, sir." The baggage staff's smile was still decent, and he stepped back and left the room..
Turning around, you can see Ryan with a strange expression on his face, looking at Renly carefully, "You did it on purpose, right? Deliberately trying to create a scandal, and then retaliate for the joke I just made?" added the paparazzi downstairs. It was hard not to think of staying in a suite, but Renly smiled and did not respond..
Ryan had a proud expression on his face, "Hey, I won't be fooled..”
Renly still didn't speak, looking at Ryan quietly, and then you could see that Ryan's expression became strange, "...that...that baggage staff just now? Are you hinting to him not to talk nonsense? Wait." Wait, wait, something is not right! Why do I always feel like I have stepped into a trap? Wait, no, no, I have to leave now, or should I stay? No, no, I should leave..”
Ryan was chattering and pacing back and forth in the room. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and ran out quickly. He opened the door to the suite and saw Andy Rogers about to knock on the door..
The two exchanged glances, and before Ryan had time to explain, he turned around and added, "Renly, see you at the dinner today." As soon as his footsteps slipped, the sound of running echoed in the corridor..
Andy held on to the door frame and blinked, "He...what's wrong with him?"？”
“It's okay." Renly looked innocent..
He was serious. When he faced the baggage staff just now, he did nothing at all. He didn't make any reminders on time or have any plans. Everything was completely Ruin's own random thoughts. From the side, the "Prank Demon King" The name now has a deterrent effect. This is a good thing.
Turning around, Renly walked onto the balcony, and the endless blue hit his eyes hard. The smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known earlier, I would have Came back directly." Renly believed that the Majestic Barriere Hotel in Cannes would also have its own private beach, so the accident and trouble just now would be unnecessary..
But the problem is... "How did we allocate this suite? There are really a lot of important people this time." Renly raised his doubts, "I thought we could live in a B&B this time..”

Cannes has sincerely sent out an invitation, hoping that the Coen brothers can attend this year's film festival; and the Coen brothers have also expressed positive intentions. However, the post-editing and related production work is very cumbersome and complicated, and there is no way for the Coen brothers to guarantee that they can make it in time. deadline.
After going round and round, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" still regretfully missed the registration deadline. Just when everyone thought that this work would miss Cannes this year, large-scale related reports appeared on social media, and everyone expressed regret and regret..

There is no doubt that One of the top players in the European art film industry.
Within the scope of his authority, Thierry's decision was unquestionable. Therefore, "Drunk Country Folk" stepped on the cut-off line and entered the main competition unit..
Since the trip to Cannes was confirmed at the last minute, the hotel arrangements for the crew of "The Balladeer" became a problem. That's why Renly said what he just said.
“Why does your voice sound choked? Or do you prefer to live in a B&B? Andy said jokingly with a confused expression on his face, but saw Renly shrugging slightly, but not smiling, as if he admitted it..
Andy chuckled helplessly, and then explained the whole story, "Our reservation was indeed too late, but the president of the Barriere Group heard about it and specially arranged this suite for us. He Personally, I am very much looking forward to the premiere of 'Drunken Country Ballad' in Cannes..”
