Big director

The hostess Karina, who was guarding the exit, saw that a new crew was coming, so she took two quick steps to meet them, and the cameraman who followed quickly pointed the camera at them—the interview was for all crews, The difference is that those who are famous will have a few more minutes, and those who are not famous are basically routine. Zhu Zimo and the others are of course the latter.

Karina took the microphone and looked around, her eyes flashed with admiration. In her heart, she felt that so far, the costumes of this crew were the brightest.Everyone knows that men's dresses have always been very dull and inflexible compared with the various women's dresses.The men who participated in the film festival were almost invariably wearing suits and bow ties. It was fine just looking at it, but it was so overwhelming that they were all like this. I was really tired of seeing it.But this Asian crew is more surprising. The very unique design with military uniform elements seems to be exquisitely tailored by hand, and the people who wear it are all good-looking, especially with their own charming figures. In the place, so seven or eight people came together, it is really very impactful.

Sandwiched among a group of tough and handsome guys, two ladies in bright red skirts played the role of finishing touch, they softened the temperament of this crew, how should I put it, the combination of two contrasting qualities is almost the first time It made her think of words such as "the tenderness of an iron man" and "the tiger in my heart sniffs the rose carefully".

There are always people who appreciate beautiful things.

Karina has a slight liking for this completely unfamiliar crew.

However, when choosing an interviewer, she suddenly hesitated.

According to the usual practice, when interviewing a crew, as long as there is no superstar who obviously suppresses the director, the program party will always choose the director as the first choice for interviews.But who is the director of this crew?She was a little confused.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is easy to identify who is the director, because when each crew walks over, there are certain unspoken rules for their positions.Then, through the principles of 'the director is always relatively unkempt', 'generally does not seem to have that kind of shining star quality', 'in short, the behind-the-scenes personnel and the front-stage personnel are well distinguished' principles, like them who can host movies The host of the festival's opening ceremony has already seen countless people. Anyway, Karina has the confidence that she will never make an oolong.

But as expected, you can't be too rigid, I didn't expect that something went wrong so soon.

Karina hesitated for a second, then she resolutely said playfully to the camera: "The crew you will see next can be described as a benefit for face controlers! I believe you are also as interested in these as I am. Are you interested in exotic handsome men and beautiful women? What kind of movie do they bring? I believe the director will give us an answer—”

Then, she watched the crew carefully from the corner of her eye, trying to slow down the next action as much as possible, so as to leave them enough time to react.Knowing that she is going to interview the 'director' next, the real director will give her a relevant feedback, as long as she finds him out, it will be fine.

The response time of the crew was much faster than she expected.

But looking at the 'little' handsome guy who stood out from the crowd, Karina deeply doubted that none of them could understand French... This little boy could be a director?Oh, God!You can really joke with me!

That's right, in the eyes of Westerners, Zhu Zimo looks too young, almost no one will believe that he is an adult.Such an image is far from the 'director' in the eyes of the public!

Director Zhu didn't know that he was once again underestimated because of his age. He took a step forward and briefly mentioned his movie with witty words into the microphone. He also introduced a few actors and won a few shots for them. He is fluent in French and has an unusual image. It is difficult for the audience in front of the TV not to be deeply impressed by him.

Chinese people, sci-fi films, underage directors (...), little-known actors, they have almost all the elements of bad movies...

However, the most important feature of the film festival is the blooming of a hundred flowers. Here, almost all the strange movies can be found, and everyone is no stranger to it.

Their interview lasted a total of 5 minutes, which didn't sound like much, but it was much longer than the previous crew, and they didn't let them pass until the next crew waited for a while.

In a place far away, Miisha, who was wearing a long beige dress, was holding John Raymond's arm, with a smile on her face, her lips barely moving and whispering: "That is the one I saw yesterday." Chinese people, right?"

Raymond's face was a little livid, he turned his head and squinted at that side, and muttered: "...the miscellaneous!"

Miisha brushed the broken hair beside her ear indifferently, and said with a light snort, "I didn't expect to be a director at such a young age. Could it be a children's play? Johnny, I bet that kid Gotta have a rich dad... well, or something, you know."

Raymond followed up with a laugh. He obviously appreciated the words, and his complexion became much better.

Miisha added persistently: "My dear Johnny, I don't think you need to talk to that Chinese kid at all. You must know that although money can be used as a stepping stone in most cases, it will never let the truly talented People are ashamed. That kid will understand the real norms in this world. Besides... Cannes doesn't like Chinese people, just like you and me, huh?"

Lei Meng licked his chin lightly, his heart was overjoyed.

However, Cannes could have fallen to such a point, which still made him feel uneasy.

Perhaps, temporarily out of sight and out of mind is the best choice now.

After walking the red carpet and attending the following reception, the facade project of the opening ceremony has come to an end.

This year's opening film is a biographical film from France, which mainly tells the life of King Louis XIV. Zhu Zimo's crew also watched it with appreciation. It should be said that it is worthy of the work of the famous director Mo Songla. Selected as the opening film, it must have a certain level, no matter how much Cannes prefers domestic films, it will not make an unqualified one to make people laugh.Although the biographical film seems relatively obscure, director Mo Songla's shooting angle is very clever. He used a small character as an introduction, and there are a lot of flashbacks in the middle. The whole film is full of black humor, which can be called a masterpiece.

But no matter how good other people's movies are, Zhu Zimo will not be hit, because he is confident that the one he shot will definitely not lose.

In addition to the opening movie, there are more than a dozen movies that are showing tickets in various exhibition halls today. Those who come to the film festival can buy tickets for a certain movie individually, or simply buy a pass, and then go to any Watch a movie at the venue, and if you don't like it, you can leave the venue at any time to change.

So in the very beginning, audiences who didn't know the truth chose those famous movies to watch, they came for the director, came for a certain actor, and so on.This has led to a huge difference in the number of viewers of 'hot' movies and 'non-hot' movies - some movies have long queues in front of the gate, while others are completely empty.

But as the date moves later, all movies slowly accumulate their own reputation, so in the next few sessions, the popularity and non-hotness are likely to be reversed.Like this, it’s not about who is famous and who is not. Everything belongs to the movie. The audience’s thinking is so simple. If it looks good, they flock to watch it.Every year at the film festival, there will be several dark horses that counterattack. To be honest, this kind of drama is actually very interesting, and many people just like it.

Larmor.Dan is one such moviegoer.

He also has an identity-a freelance writer for several newspapers.At the same time, he also often writes some unserious film reviews, which are specially posted on a public forum called 'Movie House'. Because of his unique views and sharp words, he has become a celebrity on that forum. If you post a post, it will quickly become a hot topic and hang high on the homepage.

Larmor.Dan loves watching movies, it's his job and he enjoys it.

He has very mixed tastes, he is not picky about any specific subject matter, nor does he have any prejudices such as nationality, race, etc., and he will not be burdened by any "celebrity" status, so in general, he is a rare "fair" guy .Good is good, bad is bad, maybe this is the secret of his success?

Usually, he hangs around in major movie theaters, choosing movies worth watching.Because of his growing fame, he has already offered tickets for many films at the premiere, but he rarely accepts them. After all, as a film critic, it is better to stand on a fair and objective point of view. Accepting free tickets, even gifts and so on, will definitely be affected when writing film reviews, and this happens to be the last thing he can bear.For this reason, he would rather pay for the movie tickets himself.

And the three major film festivals every year are a gluttonous feast for him.

He bought the pass early in the morning, and he vowed to watch all the movies in twelve days!

Today is the second day of the opening ceremony.

Larmor.Dan had just finished watching an obscure art film.

The scale of this film is very large, mainly around a group of prostitutes, promiscuity, drug use, schizophrenia, it can be seen that this is called John.Raymond's director had a lot on his mind, but at Larmor.From Dan's point of view, he is a bit too greedy, his ability cannot support the structure he wants to express at all, and the performance skills of the film are too trivial and neurotic. The director seems to want to pursue that kind of unfathomable feeling , but the result is that the whole movie was cut into fragments by him, making it incomprehensible.The only bright spot in the whole film is the heroine. In terms of acting skills, she can be regarded as quite good.

But that's all there is to it, Larmor.Dan rubbed his temples, closed the small book in his hand to record his movie-watching experience, and sighed.

If there is any dissatisfaction with my work, it is that it is inevitable to encounter bad movies.He is like a gourmet, looking for delicious food from all over the world, sometimes he can eat delicious food, but sometimes his sensitive taste buds will suffer... Every time he watches a bad movie, he will feel a serious injury I feel really uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to take a break and fight again, but just walking around like this, he accidentally spotted a large poster placed at the entrance of an exhibition hall.

Larmor.Dan couldn't help but stop and watch.

This poster is...very special.

The upper part of the poster is an endless starry sky, very vast and vast, and in the starry sky, there is the largest and most conspicuous star (?), as long as you pay attention to it carefully, you can find that it is nothing Xingzi, but a silver-white spaceship.

Below the poster is the deep blue water.

A city whose outline can still be vaguely seen and which seems to be shrouded in a layer of mystery stands there quietly, full of vicissitudes.There are no aquatic plants, and no fish or shrimp can be seen, but among the ruined walls, a few strangely shaped shadows can be vaguely seen - the shadows are not clear in the water waves, but as long as you stare carefully Look at it, and it will induce a deep coolness from the bottom of my heart.It's a pity that no matter how carefully you observe, you can't see what it is.

In the middle part of the poster, there are two lines of fonts that gradually change from silver-silver-blue-blue-black, Atlantis.

The above seems to be in Chinese?Larmor.Dan has no research on Chinese, but he vaguely remembers that this complicated and mysterious square character should be Chinese.The following line is a comment in English and French. Compared with the Chinese above, the font of the following line is relatively small, but it is also very aesthetic.

So, this is a Chinese sci-fi horror film?

Larmor.Dan got a little interested.

The main reason is that the design of this poster is so emotional, the texture like an oil painting, and the atmosphere created by it are quite interesting.And he has to admit that the more important reason is that he wants to use this to change his mind—it can be seen from the poster that this movie should be more commercial. As we all know, commercial movies look easier than art movies, and the viewing experience Even more refreshing, he was really depressed by the movie just now, and instead of going back to worry about it, it is better to cover it with another work.

If it's an excellent film, of course it's great, but if it's another bad film, a bad film of this kind will provide him with more jokes in the future, and in return for it, he will write an extended film review!

Think about it, Larmor.Dan walked into the showroom.There are still people distributing 3D glasses at the door, Lamor.Dan couldn't help laughing, why are there still people making such a gimmick now, hasn't this funny way of watching movies been eliminated by the mainstream a long time ago?The Chinese are still popular?

He picked up a back seat and sat down.

The audience in the entire exhibition hall was roughly counted, and it was estimated that there were less than fifty people.This is a rather miserable result.

Larmor.Dan looked at the big screen. The movie had already started for a while. He didn't know how many minutes it was. Watching it now might affect the experience of watching the movie, but whatever, he couldn't wait for the next one.

Putting on the glasses, he opened his mouth in surprise!
