A different director [entertainment circle]

On May 5, Rooster Guokang City.

"Why are you sure you want me to go in the middle?" Xi Qianqian said while looking at Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan who were clearly wearing couple suits.

Qin Yan said with a righteous smile:

"It must be a matter of course. You are our Miss Xi Qianqian. Isn't it natural for you to walk in the middle?"

Xie Beiyang also nodded in agreement, but Xi Qianqian saw through the thoughts of the two of them at a glance, and said:

"The two of you are wearing couple suits, I thought you two were going to publicize your relationship on the red carpet and throw me out alone?"

The formal suits worn by Xie Beiyang and Xie Beiyang, whether it is clothing details or color choices, all complement each other.In short, it's a couple outfit.

If the two of them walked the red carpet wearing this outfit alone, they would definitely attract criticism.But if Xi Qianqian is placed in the middle, everything will seem so logical.

"Do you think Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's clothes look like couples' clothes?"

"Don't think too much, their clothes are all to set off Xi Qianqian. I can only say that the relationship between the three of them is really good."

This is Qin Yan's plan.

Qin Yan laughed awkwardly.

It would be a bit hypocritical to say that he has no thoughts at all.But in the end friendship still triumphed over love.

The opening of the Cannes Film Festival naturally requires a red carpet, and for a film that has entered the main competition like "Born in Silt", the entire crew is the focus of media attention.

As for Qin Yan, Xie Beiyang, and Xi Qianqian, they even brought their own topics.

Although the three of them complained and exposed each other in private, in fact, all three of them are looking forward to today's red carpet.You must know that the last time the three of them walked on the red carpet had to be traced back to "The Gatekeeper", and it was already four years ago.

At that time, they were just emerging. At that time, they had to find ways to borrow clothes to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Even for usual activities, there are countless luxury brands willing to provide them with clothes.When "Born in the Silt" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes Films, they even extended an olive branch, and they could choose the couture of the season at will.

However, Xi Qianqian, as the image spokesperson of Russell[1], has already decided on the clothes.However, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang had never endorsed clothing, and finally picked two suits that were especially suitable for them, which were what Xi Qianqian called "couple outfits".

Today Xi Qianqian wore a goose-yellow long dress, which didn't look cold at all, while Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's navy blue and dark gray dresses made them look even more handsome.

Because Xi Qianqian is wearing a long skirt today, it has a little influence on the red carpet.The two were supporting Xi Qianqian very carefully, and at the same time gave up the most dazzling position to Xi Qianqian.

While taking pictures, the surrounding media lamented that the relationship between the three is really close.

The three of them, Qin Yan, did trigger a small climax.

Even if Qin Yan is standing on the far right, relatively speaking, the most low-key position, more cameras are directly aimed at Qin Yan.

These reporters came to the Cannes Film Festival, and many people wanted to inquire about "Fortress Earth 3".

Although the Cannes Film Festival is also famous, it is an art award after all. For ordinary audiences, the commercial blockbuster "Fortress Earth 3" is more interesting, and the media will naturally pursue the news focus.

In the past few days, countless media have inquired about Qin Yan's "Earth Fortress 3". As long as Qin Yan confides anything casually, it will be enough to make headlines.

However, Qin Yan would not commit such a stupid thing. Suddenly talking about his "Earth Fortress 3" at the Cannes Film Festival may bring a wave of enthusiasm and attention, but it will also take away the Cannes Film Festival. Attention.

These judges and even the organizers are not such magnanimous people, they are promoting unrelated films at the Cannes Film Festival, aren’t you looking for death?

Therefore, Qin Yan did not respond to these reporters' concerns at all, and focused on introducing "Born in Silt", which he was going to participate in the main competition unit next.

Needless to say, the turmoil caused by the main competition unit list of the Cannes Film Festival, the domestic entertainment media and comprehensive portal websites must be about Qin Yan and "Born in Silt".

What really matters is the next two weeks of screenings at the Cannes Film Festival.

During the screening process, all the films in the main competition unit will be screened for the first time, and will be screened in various exhibition halls, and the jury will also determine the final list of winners.

Although these famous judges have their own ideas in their hearts and have their own accomplishments in film art, the reactions of the media and the audience will affect them to some extent.

What's more, this is also the public premiere of "Born in the Silt". Qin Yan will of course be nervous to accept the test of the market and society.

"Born in Mud", as one of the most watched films in the main competition this time, was assigned the best time point and screening hall without any surprise.

The screening hall, which can accommodate 2000 people, is already full half an hour before the screening. It is hard to imagine that this group of people are sitting together to watch a movie, not a large-scale performance event.

The whole venue suddenly burst into thunderous cheers as the film's main creator walked in!

According to the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival, at this time it is no longer necessary for the main creators to interact with the audience.

On the one hand, from the perspective of the Cannes Film Festival, this kind of interaction is more of a commercial behavior, through the thoughts, language and even behavior of the film creators to influence the audience's subsequent feelings and judgments.

The real evaluation of a movie should be detached from the director, detached from the actors, detached from the creative team, and evaluate the movie itself alone.

Therefore, for the films premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the main creative team will no longer communicate with the audience before the screening.

Qin Yan and the others, the main creative staff, have already changed into more formal attire, and directly sat in the first row.

Although the logic of the story "Born in the Mud" is very simple, because Qin Yan described it in many details, the final edited version was more than 130 minutes long.

In fact, to be honest, at the beginning of the screening, Qin Yan would also be a little nervous. He would guess what the audience would think of "Born in Silt" and whether they would like his narrative style.

It is also the first time for Qin Yan to shoot a work with such a special style. In essence, this is a literary film with a deep theme.But in terms of narration and plot, Qin Yan also used some expression techniques commonly used in commercial films.

But after it actually started playing, Qin Yan found that he was also completely immersed in the movie.

Even though every frame and every frame is the result of discussions between him and the editor, and he has watched the final film countless times, he is still intoxicated by his work at this moment.

A little different from the past, this time Qin Yan no longer reflects on the advantages and disadvantages of his own works, what he did not do well as a director, such as shaping the image of movie characters, controlling the plot of the story, and rendering the overall emotion .

Qin Yan completely immersed himself in the role of "Liu Dali", viewing the movie from the perspective of a pure bystander.

Looking at the emaciated Liu Dali who couldn't change the world in the movie, Qin Yan looked again, and saw Xie Beiyang who had regained his youthful figure beside him, who was concentrating on the big screen at this time, Qin Yan was inexplicably thankful.

Thank myself for being able to meet Xie Beiyang, and at the same time thank myself and Xie Beiyang for not being swallowed up by life like the protagonist in the movie.

Qin Yan originally thought that he would maintain this state of concentration until the end, but he never expected that he would still be affected.

From the middle of the movie, there were constant weeping voices from the audience in the screening hall, intermittent and low-pitched grievances, which were particularly obvious in the screening hall.

The audience who will come to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in the premiere of the film, in addition to professionals and media personnel, are all film lovers themselves. It can be said that they are the most outstanding group of people who watch movies.

They know that watching movies should try not to disturb others as much as possible, after all, they also don't want to be disturbed.

But there is no way to control emotions, especially emotions such as sadness and pain. You can't cover other people's mouths and not allow them to cry when others are already crying.

From the audience who first blow their nose, various sounds of pain and crying became more frequent and more obvious.

The louder he cried, the more serious he watched.

Who made the performances of actors such as Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian so wonderful, they brought all the audience into "Born in Mud" to feel the ups and downs of that era and the cruelty of social reality.

When the 130-minute screening of the film was over, the whole auditorium erupted into applause instantly.

It lasted until the lights in the projection hall came on, and until Qin Yan brought the creative team to the silver screen. Everyone bowed to the audience to express their gratitude, and the applause didn't stop.

Every creator is full of excitement and emotion. "Born in the Silt" is the crystallization of everyone's hard work, and they deserve the cheers!

Although this is only the premiere with 2000 people, there are quite a few professional filmmakers among them.After watching "Born in the Silt", many people immediately wrote film reviews with pens and eloquence.

The next day, various film reviews and news about "Born in Silt" appeared on the media of various countries around the world.

In addition, the fans who participated in the premiere also used various methods to promote "Born in Silt" and express their love.

"This is undoubtedly the most transformational work of director Qin Yan, and it cannot be missed no matter what!"

"Although I don't like deep movies, "Born in Silt" is indeed a good movie!"

""Born in Mud" is so over the top, it made me cry from beginning to end!"

"Xi Qianqian is an actress nominated for Best Actress, and her acting skills are as stable as ever."

"I am more optimistic about Xie Beiyang. This time's performance really impressed me!"

Although many people have realized that "Born in Mud" must be a very emotional movie, but this does not prevent more and more people from collecting various information and making up their minds to go to the cinema as soon as it is released.

Except for the premiere, all the exhibition halls in the next two weeks will take turns to play the participating films. For these screenings, the audience needs to line up by themselves. "Born in Silt" has become the most popular movie without any surprise.

As long as it is the turn of "Born in the Silt" to be screened, the outside must be full of people. After more than ten days of screenings, the occupancy rate of "Born in the Silt" has never been lower than 70%.

Many film critics and ordinary audiences will do the second or third swipe if they have the opportunity.

In everyone's expectation, the closing ceremony of the film festival came as scheduled, and even Qin Yan couldn't control his emotions.

Because the awards of the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival will also be announced on this day, this is the day that everyone pays the most attention to, and director Qin Yan and the crew of "Born in Silt" will undoubtedly become the focus of tonight.

If Qin Yan paid attention to them because of the influence of Qin Yan's other films before, now he focuses on "Born in Silt".

Because everyone knows that this time Qin Yan and "Born in Silt" are definitely the hottest winners tonight.

Every year after the list of the Cannes Film Festival is announced, many people will participate, whether it is public speculation or private gambling//gambling, and this year "Born in Silt" has become the film with the lowest odds .

In fact, the entire production crew didn't sleep well during this period, and this unresolved feeling was really unpleasant, especially for Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.

Although Xie Beiyang is no longer as full of extreme pursuit of film awards as before, but if an award like Cannes actor is placed in front of him, it seems to be within reach, who would not be tempted?

Even those actors who have already won the three major awards and Oscar winners and actresses, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no fluctuations in their hearts.

As for Qin Yan, it wasn't much better, after all, this time "Born in the Silt" was extremely important to his overall plan.

What's more, Qin Yan's highest achievement in his previous life was only the Berlin Film Festival. Standing in front of the Palme d'Or this time, it was almost equal to the decades of struggle in his previous life. Of course, Qin Yan would also be nervous.

On the contrary, Xi Qianqian at the side comforted the two of them like a normal person:

"I said you two don't be nervous, this kind of thing is resigned to fate."

Xi Qianqian carelessly comforted the two of them.Although she is also the focus of the media's attention, she has a much calmer mind. One is because she has tried the feeling of running with her, and the other is that she knows that her chances of winning the prize are too low.

Compared with the Oscars, the Cannes Film Festival has another special feature, that is, it will consider the distribution of awards.

After all, this is a small jury consisting of nine members. When there is a disagreement between everyone, there will definitely be mutual compromise and mutual compromise.

If I supported your decision on A, you should have voted the same as me on B.

It's just human nature.

In addition, the purpose of Cannes Films is to allow more excellent films to be discovered, so the distribution of awards tends to be allocated to different works.

There will never be a situation where the three awards of the Palme d'Or, Best Actor, and Best Actress are won by this movie at the same time.

And Xi Qianqian knew her performance in "Born in the Mud", and it was not even comparable to her previous performance in the movie "Death".

Not to mention that the highlight of "Born in Silt" is the plot itself and Xie Beiyang.

Xi Qianqian knew that she was the one running with her, so she didn't expect an impossible thing to happen.It's better not to hold any expectations from the beginning, and then bless your friends with peace of mind.

Xi Qianqian is really open-minded and transparent.

So the scene has become that Xi Qianqian keeps comforting Xie Beiyang and Qin Yan.

Xi Qianqian talked a lot like an old lady again, and Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang couldn't help laughing too.

They know that their emotions of worrying about gains and losses are still too heavy, and they have already committed the so-called greed, hatred and ignorance.

Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang watched all the works in the main competition this time. They are not the only ones who can make good movies in this world.

The reason why they were so nervous was not because the other films that were also selected for the main competition this time were of excellent quality. Since they recognized the excellence of the other party, they should accept the possibility of failure.

"Forget it, do your best and obey the destiny."

However, as the previous awards were revealed one after another, Qin Yan and the others were still very happy, because the name of "Born in the Mud" never appeared.

According to the usual practice, "Born in Silt" can at least win one of the last blockbuster movie awards, but it is not yet known which one.

"The next thing we will announce is the winner of Best Actor..."

It was finally his turn, one of the two most important awards in the goal of "Born in Silt".

In addition to the Palme d'Or, what Qin Yan is most looking forward to is undoubtedly the "Best Actor" this year, because he knows how much Xie Beiyang has paid for this movie, and he very much hopes that Xie Beiyang's performance will win all the awards. people's approval.

Xie Beiyang was indeed very nervous, especially Xie Beiyang had quietly clenched his fists, trying to maintain his expression, even though he could already hear his heart beating.

Before the award, everyone can tell how indifferent and self-aware they are, but when they really stand in front of the honor, everyone will be so nervous and cherish it.

"The winner of the best actor is Xie Beiyang, "Born in Silt"!"

When the host read out the name "Xie Beiyang", Xie Beiyang's mind was really blank.

In fact, Xie Beiyang himself is also very contradictory. He has imagined the scene of winning the best actor award countless times, but he has also warned himself countless times, don't let yourself lose your love for movies just because of the simple award. love.

At this moment, Xie Beiyang felt as if he was being swallowed by the waves of joy, and even all the cheers and applause around him were getting farther and farther away from him.

At this time, Xie Beiyang turned his head to look at Qin Yan next to him, and then hugged Qin Yan tightly.

Qin Yan whispered in his ear:

"Congratulations, my actor."

This sentence of congratulations comes from the heart, because Xie Beiyang's performance is worthy of this actor.

Who knew that Xie Beiyang's first reaction was Qin Yan whispering:

"sorry."

This is also Xie Beiyang's true reaction. He has also thought about the distribution of the final awards.

He knows that his performance may win the "Best Actor", but in this way, "Born in Mud" is doomed or not to win the Palme d'Or, which represents the highest honor.

From Xie Beiyang's point of view, his actions deprived "Born in Silt" of the possibility of winning the highest honor. He always believed that he was inferior to Qin Yan.

You must know that "Best Actor" and "Palme d'Or" are absolutely different for "Born in Silt".

Qin Yan really wanted to rub Xie Beiyang's head, how could he have such a lovely idea, but unfortunately the time and occasion were wrong, so he could only say:

"You're still worried about this, don't worry, go get the prize first."

Of course, Xie Beiyang did not forget to hug Xi Qianqian who was by his right hand.

As a result, Xi Qianqian also complained in a low voice:

"I don't think you really want to hug me, you just want to use me as a shield."

Xie Beiyang was a little excited when Xi Qianqian said this, and suddenly his heart turned cold.When it's over, Xi Qianqian will write down the notebook again.

Xie Beiyang wanted to explain a few words, but seeing the obvious smile on Xi Qianqian's face, Xie Beiyang also knew that he was being teased by Xi Qianqian again.

But with this little joke, Xie Beiyang's mood has always been a little calmer.

He walked up to the podium, and looking around, there were well-known directors and actors all over the world, as well as a well-capitalized production company, but Xie Beiyang gradually calmed down.

"Thanks to the Cannes Film Festival for recognizing me. To be honest, I have thought about this day for a long time, but I never thought that this day would really come true."

Xie Beiyang's voice is very gentle, but he still insists on using both Chinese and English expressions.

Hearing Xie Beiyang's expression, everyone smiled kindly.

Who hasn't been young yet, who doesn't know every actor's yearning for this award, when it really falls on him, he may not be able to be calmer than Xie Beiyang.

"The next topic may be a little heavy." Xie Beiyang's voice became more and more gentle, and many people sighed that Xie Beiyang's voice was really nice.

"I always feel that movies always have to convey something and let more people see something."

"In the beginning, I made movies because I liked to play other people's lives. In the short filming process, I became another person completely. That feeling really made me feel addicted."

"But more and more movies are made, and I find that when I become another person, what I want to express is not my personal thoughts, but I want to show the lives of those characters."

"For me, Liu Dali is such a role. I want to play him well, not just because I want to win some awards. I want to play him well. I just hope that more people can see the role of Liu Dali. Know Liu Dali's fate and the reasons behind it."

"I hope I have lived up to this story, and I hope more people can see this story."

"Finally, I have to thank my friends who have been with me until now. And Director Qin Yan, because of your support, I have come this far!"

After Xie Beiyang finished speaking, he waved the trophy in his hand, and the audience below once again applauded like a sea.
