• It was really funny to see other photos where you can see none of the photographers actually cared about them except the one taking the pic, everyone else is turned away. Nobody knows who these people are. Or cares.

  • A lot of them just had their cameras hanging on their necks, not even holding in their hands looool. It's a little sad.

    • you expect the photographers to snap photos of theirs back? seriously haters always has something negative to say. lmao. feels pity for both of you may be due to your upbringging, always hate hate hate. lmao

    • @vlive

      Are you stupid?

      The photographers turned their backs on these "stars" because they don't know or care about them. These photos are all over Weibo.

  • I am not saying that the photographers actually know Eddie Peng, but in Cannes the stars the red carpet is a long corridor where stars stand one next to the other and they turn from one side to the other. So the photographers take shots of people facing them, and then those people turn the other way to be photographed by the photographers on the other side. Also, photographers take photos of literally anyone even if they have no idea who they are, and then sort them out.

    • I've been to Cannes and no, the photographers who matter don't take photos of everyone.

      Those working for Asian markets will pay attention to people like cent celebs. That's all. Nobody else cares. It's only when names like Fan bingbing or Zhang Ziyi show up or something of the big directors that the others pay attention.

      And the red carpet in Cannes is not long at all.

    • @Nah, you make me laugh. Whatever I write, you are there to write the exact opposite. I don't know what it is, but please seek help because it is pretty sure you are doing it with other people.
      By the way, this is the red carpet at Cannes, and it is long:

    • Also, from the video I posted above it is obvious that photographers don't take photos of people's backs, even if it's Meryl Streep. Now, once again, with the exception of Gong Li none of these people are really famous in the west. But the fact that photographers don't care about taking photos of their backsides is not a proof.

    • @Nena

      Who said anything about taking photos of their backsides? Is your reading comprehension at the level of kindergarten? Photographers turned their backs on the "stars", not the other way around. Those photographs are looking at Meryl because she is Meryl. With the Chinese "stars" they turned away to photograph others or put their cameras down. Weibo is full of wide shots that show this. You are just going to have to cope with reality.

      And no, it's not long. This red carpet is nothing compared to the big events in Hollywood.

      Stop writing lies and I assure you, you are an absolute nothing to me.

  • I dont find this is funny but sad but even known star like Fan Bingbing didn't get photographers' attention once and had to throw her bracelet on them to make them take some shots

• Chinese always nail their fashion.

• I love the women's gowns.

• It says a lot about China’s drama/movie industry on an international scale. It’s still the HK stars that’s well known. Nonetheless, there are photographers too who are there to represent Asian content and sells their photo to Asia media.

  • Copium…barely any post 1970s actor/actress from HK is well-known lol

• Thank YOU!!!! Koala!!!!😍😍

• Eddie peng has always been handsome and still is

• Thank you, Koala, for the pictures. Really enjoy them!

  The lack of photographers' attention towards the non-Hollywood actors/entertainers is expected, not surprising at all. Doesn't only happen to Chinese actors, but also those from other countries.

  This said, since I love Cdramas/movies and I follow their news, I'm thrilled to see news and pictures of C-actresses redcarpets, as well as those from my own country. And C-actresses never fail in that department!

• I miss seeing Eddie. I wish he would do more dramas. I love his character in SOTD. LSS and him have great chemistry.

• There are La montée des marches, and "the photo call" for the cast of movies . Photographers are from various international medias but only the great stars are blinded by photo flashes . Even some french actors who are less known receive the same treatment as asians , europeans,...No need to feel offended .

• This is what happens when your industry is big enough so you don't prioritize the international market. People outside of Asia don't know about these celebs, so most of them show up for the red carpet as ambassadors for certain brands or if their team got them in with money. Only a few are there for their own works. Most are there for PR in their glamorous dresses, they're essentially just models during the Cannes Film Festival period.
