Ziyi attended two events yesterday at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival. First, she walked the red carpet of La belle époque wearing a beautiful Givenchy dress.
Later in the evening, she attended the ceremony of the Chopard trophy as the Godmother of the event. She looked splendid in a red Versace dress.
Her last visit at the Cannes Film Festival was in 2014. Today, she was photographed arriving on the Côte d’Azur. She was beautiful and so stylish. Enjoy the pictures of her arrival before the next fews days…
The actress will finally be back in France for the Cannes Film Festival and will attend, at least, three events…
The actress will be Godmother of the Trophée Chopard on May 20 at 7:00 PM.
As godmother, Zhang will present the award to both a male and female young actor on the rise. She follows “Godmother” Diane Kruger, who presented the award to Joe Alwyn and Elizabeth Debicki at Cannes film Festival 2018.

During the press conference of “The Crossing” (May 17th), a trailer was unveiled to journalists. One of them filmed it from is seat. The quality is not very good but it’s enough to assume the film will be amazing…
Yesterday, the cast of John Woo’s upcoming film “The Crossing” attended a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival. See below a video from the press conference:
Some articles give some relevant information about the film…
John stated that “Titanic” was a love story that took place on a ship. But “The Crossing” is a story of fate, as these characters were fleeing from the war-torn China to Keelung, Taiwan.
“The wartime background brought each person a different fate, so if there is any comparison, I would say it is closer to “Gone with the Wind”,” said John.
According to Woo, “The Crossing” is “a love story spanning fifty years of Chinese history.” He was anxious to emphasize that the film is a romance despite the fact that he is best known for directing male-oriented action films. It certainly looked romantic judging by the trailer, with some inimitable Woo set pieces, and strong hints of beloved Chinese themes of separated families, star-crossed love, and the tragedy of war.
And Ziyi…
In regards to HKFA Best Actress Zhang Ziyi, John said, “I believed that directors who have worked with her like Wong Kar Wai, Ang Lee, and Zhang Yimou would be rather happy because she would exceed expectations and work even harder than the director would ask.”
Asked why she accepted her role in “The Crossing,” Zhang said, “It’s the first time I cried so much reading a script.”
In the evening, the cast was reunited for a party. Some pictures are in the gallery. Ziyi was simply radiant!
Yesterday, Ziyi attended the Caroline Scheufele’s party in Cannes. The actress was gorgeous as always and posed with famous movie personalities such as Pedro Almodovar, Cate Blanchett or Adèle Exarchopoulos. Some pictures in the gallery.
