Become a dramatist from today

The International Film Critics Week section only accepts submissions for first and second films, so you can see many young and imaginative works.

Secondly, the jury for this unit is the French Critics Association. The level is good and the threshold is quite high.

Because there are so many units, the Cannes Film Festival’s jury is also multi-faceted, including the Cornerstone Jury, the Independent Jury (Queer Palm Awards), the International Association of Film Critics, the Directors Guild, etc. The level of judging is also uneven, don’t you think? International Association of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).

Huang Baiyou has participated in "The Detective" and "Thirteen Sons of the South China Sea", both of which have won the FIPRESCI Award, but one was won at the Golden Rooster Awards and the other was won at the Warsaw Film Festival.

Don't think it's magical. Most famous film festivals have FIPRESCI awards. They are created by FIPRESCI. They are obviously completely independent. They like to use the reputation of film festivals to award awards.

Wei Zhuang’s words are still fresh in my mind, “The FIPRESCI Award is better than thank you for your patronage during the lottery, but it is only so strong.”

Ninety minutes later——

"The director of this play should be here. I really want to get to know him."

Huang Baiyou watched "White Fire", the only Chinese director's work shortlisted for the International Film Critics Week section this year. It is a film with the director's personal style.

The first half is an ordinary family drama, with grandparents, parents and children in a family of five, but the second half suddenly shifts to the perspective of the child.

According to the child, he has a special ability and can see the fire on everyone's body. The color of fire represents the quality of a person...

"I'll read it again when I have time. I feel like there are many things I didn't understand." Huang Baiyou thought to himself.

The work is wonderful. Huang Baiyou wants to get to know the director, but has no intention of collaborating with him because his personal style is too strong and there is no difference between actors and props.

"For a work, a good director is indeed more useful than a good actor. As an actor, I have to admit this."

Huang Baiyou was thinking, if he had a next life, could he create a system for remunerating people for filming? Be a director?

Being greedy, Huang Baiyou smiled again, reviving his life was already a situation that 99% of people would not envy.

"Hey, hello, Deaf Best Actor." Huang Baiyou looked at the brochure and prepared to take a rest, but as soon as he took a break, he heard a male voice.

"?" Huang Baiyou looked up. He was a black man. His skin color was one shade darker than that of ordinary black men. His facial features could hardly be seen clearly.

"Can you hear me? You are really pretending, right?" The black man saw that the other party's eyes were scrutinizing and did not reply. He briefly introduced himself, "Don't you know me? I am Danzemo Curry."

The name is very familiar. Huang Baiyou, one of the most famous black actors in Hollywood, has heard of it before, but his name and face don't match.

"If you want to win the Best Actor Award, you have to rely on your own strength, rather than all kinds of hype and let the jury select you." After saying this to his family, Danzemo left directly without giving Huang Baiyou a chance to speak.

It won't rain all the time, but it will rain first. Huang Baiyou doesn't worry about Danzemo, because the actors have no say in whether he wins or not.

On Cannes night, the works being screened became more important, the film festival became more lively, and "The Truman Show" also had its world premiere at the Bazin Cinema.

Cen He has received too much honor around the world, so his new film has received a lot of attention from actors, fellow directors, film critics and producers.

According to the rules, after the premiere, the crew and creative team can come to the scene to check their favorability and other things. However, Cen He said, "Go and do your own things. There is no need to do this. The results will not change just because of a two- or three-sentence interview."

So Huang Baiyou, Jin Yan and others were not present, only director Cen He was there.

The occupancy rate of the large cinema hall, which can accommodate more than a thousand people, exceeds 90%.

"I will never lose." Danzemo switched from Hollywood commercial films to European art films because he wanted to prove his acting skills.

He sees any male actor in a main competition piece the same way a ragdoll cat sees other cats.

After all, in the eyes of Ragdoll cats, there is no bad guy or good cat. In Danzemo's eyes, they are all enemies.

"Please don't move, thank you." Danzemo said to Powell next to him, deliberately causing trouble for Powell.

"Sorry." Powell felt that his margin was very small. It was better to forget about one thing than to do one thing less, so he apologized directly.

As mentioned before, he is the leading actor in "Black Friday" and a man who has won two British Academy Film Awards.

Black Friday directors Alex and Cen He are "lifelong enemies." The former and the latter's films collided twice at the film festival, and Alex lost both times.

"My movie this year is the opening ceremony movie, and I won the first round." Alex thought to himself.

Everyone was thinking a lot, and the movie started to play——

The beginning of the film tells the background structure through positive and negative narratives.

28 years ago, Butterfly Dream TV Production Company adopted a baby, an orphan without a father or mother.

And a large "studio" was built for the baby, named Taoyuan Island (English translation is Paradise Island).

After some operations, a documentary soap opera "The Truman Show" was launched, which broadcast live baby growth scenes. As a result, Butterfly Dream Company made huge profits, developed peripherals, ranked first in the world in ratings, and so on.

For such a popular documentary program, only one person is completely unaware that the only protagonist of the soap opera is Truman.

"The setting of the movie is interesting." Powell thought to himself, "Everything around him has been false since childhood, including his parents, classmates, and even everyone he met while growing up."

"It's horrifying to think about," Powell thought.

Different from the actor's perspective, director Alex's perspective is "Cen He's Kung Fu". How many details can be explained in one shot can reveal the director's Kung Fu.

Why do some people say that most movies that start with aerial shots of scenery are bad movies? This is because directors of bad movies are like writing essays for exams. They don’t know how to write, so they just spell out the number of words to make up the duration.

Cen He explained a lot at the beginning, first of all, the setting of Taoyuan Island, and secondly, the era in the movie took place in the 1990s.

"It could only have happened in the early days of the Internet, otherwise network problems were a big vulnerability." Alex understood the story behind the setup.

And the protagonist Truman is being monitored all the time, living in a world constructed by the producers of The Truman Show, where even the sun, moon, and sea breeze are artificial.

"The framework is too much for a genre film." Alex commented, he thought to himself, "Human beings who want to steal the power of gods will suffer serious blows without exception. If producers want to become gods and control other people's lives, they will always show their flaws. ."

What kind of trick? The lamp that replaced Sirius in the sky fell.

Immediately afterwards, Truman met a homeless man who looked very much like his father on the street.

Alex didn't like Cen He's films that were more genre-oriented, so he frowned while watching the movie.

Some people don't like it, while others like it. Film critic Olof liked it very much and watched the movie with a smile.

"The most important of the three shackles that restrict freedom is gone," Orlov said.

Human beings yearn for freedom. How to ensure that Truman stays on Taoyuan Island forever?

There are three shackles: "mortgage and car loan", "father died because of his words when he was a child", and "it has been taught to me since childhood that Taoyuan Island is the most livable city in the world".

Especially in the second scene, his father died in front of his eyes, which made Truman afraid to take a boat again, and he even suffered from physical discomfort.

The following plot maintains the rhythm of a "suspense film" as Truman deciphers lies one by one and reaches the truth.
