Cannes Film Festival: A few minutes of twirling on the red carpet, how much does a series of less famous stars have to spend?

Cannes Film Festival is a major film event that attracts great attention from international netizens every year. However, in recent years, the event has been said to have gradually deteriorated, as less famous artists spent money to buy tickets so they could make a splash on the red carpet.

It's only been a few days, but the 77th Cannes Film Festival has already left a bad impression with the scene of many chaotic guests, creating boring old tricks on the red carpet.

Most controversial cases are Chinese guests (usually not famous). At the opening ceremony , blogger Ly My Viet's outfit printed with a peacock blanket pattern was criticized for being flashy and not contributing to the event's luxurious fashion picture.

On May 16, two guests dressed like the Jade Emperor and His Royal Highness attending the premiere of the movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga were criticized by Weibo users as being ridiculous and strange. They waved continuously but received indifference from the international media.

A male blogger used a fan with the words "from China" printed on it, but was considered an overall disaster and ranked among the worst dressed alongside another female blogger with an armchair-shaped outfit on the red carpet. Besides, an anonymous woman's appearance like a bowl of mango bingsu also made the audience shake their heads in disgust.

Sohu reported that the red carpet was even more chaotic with actors Dong Le A, Luong Thanh and director Quan Ho lingering to pose beyond the allotted time. The newspaper said that no less than twice this group of stars was cleverly chased to the main hall but still ignored them and continued to act less subtly.

There is a harsh truth that Asian guests (except in some special cases) do not receive attention from photojournalists, so they have to pose crookedly, dress strangely or buy time to attract attention. As a result, not-so-beautiful footage was recorded.

Before the event took place, the organizing committee sent honorary invitations to famous stars, film crews with competing works, guests of sponsoring brands, and festival partners.

Saying so does not mean that the opportunity to walk on the red carpet is closed for other characters. If you accept to pay a large amount of money, anyone can own a pass to Cannes.

According to India Times , the event's official website opened ticket sales to the public a long time ago, but said that only industry experts or recognized individuals are eligible to access the ticketing platform and make reservations.

Specifically, groups of people with festival certificates (possessing stamps allowing participation in movie screenings, official activities and presence at locations such as Palais, Village International...) can spend up to 6,100 USD. 25,000 USD per ticket, VIP Concierge reported.

Meanwhile, those who own a market certificate after paying a fee of 326 USD, will be able to buy tickets to red carpets and movie screenings. This group of people are usually board members and company employees related to the film industry.

Many brokers, travel companies or event organizers have linked up with the above mentioned cases to buy large quantities of tickets and resell them to those in need. According to Sina , tickets purchased through intermediaries can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, and are widely sold on online platforms, including Taobao. Lu Giai Dung, a not-so-famous actor, admitted that he went through a broker to appear at the film festival.

According to a website description, tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies of the film festival cost about 7,500 USD or more. If you want to go inside the Palais de Festival center to watch a movie, you have to pay an additional 3,900 USD to 5,700 USD, depending on seat location.

When the bustling red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival suddenly calms down and the frivolity disappears, naturally, someone will ask: So what's left of the Cannes Film Festival? The answer may be very simple: The value of the Cannes Film Festival has never rested on that 60-meter stretch of red carpet. The value of the Cannes Film Festival to world cinema lies in its contributions in connecting filmmakers with investors, connecting a film with the audience.
