Every year when I come to Cannes for the Film Festival, I always feel so excited. But at the same time, I also feel very tired because I have to travel over 11 hours on the plane. My two assistants slept very well on the way there, while I spent the entire journey working on my computer! I’ve always wondered: why hasn’t someone invented a software program that can understand your instructions when you tell it to do something?
After over 11 hours on the plane, we safely arrived in Cannes. I thought that as soon as I got off the plane, I could eat some lunch and then go out for a walk. But I was wrong. Because there were so many people outside who have come especially for the Film festival, I ended up being locked in my hotel room. But that’s okay. I immediately decided to have a script meeting for my new movie. I was actually feeling very tired, but there were directors and production members from all corners of the world who had come especially to have a script meeting with me. When the meeting started, all of a sudden I wasn’t feeling tired anymore and got even more excited as we discussed the ideas. I can tell that they put a lot of time and effort into the preparation work. They showed me many reference pictures and gathered lots of information. The results were very pleasing. The meeting lasted for 4 hours and I didn’t feel tired at all. Right now, it’s windy and raining outside. I feel so sorry for the actors and actresses who have to walk the red carpet tonight! Especially the actresses! Looks like I’ll be staying in my hotel room for a quiet night in.
每年來到康城，心情都好興奮，但是又很累，因為要坐十幾個小時飛機。我兩個助理睡得好甜好香，而我十幾個小時都在弄電腦。為甚麼沒有人發明你說甚麼電腦就幫你做甚麼，平安到達康城，以為可以吃個午餐，再出去走走，卻被關在酒店，立刻為新電影開劇本會議。本來已經很累，但一開始與來自世界各地的工作人員和導演聊劇本，我又越說越精神，他們都很用功，準備了很多圖片資料給我看，收獲不錯。四個小時的會議才剛結束，我一點睡意都沒有，現在外面又是風又是雨，可憐那些走紅地毯的演員們，尤其是那些女明星 看來我還是乖乖的留在酒店吧！
