Chapter 154: Premiere

In addition to Adrien Brody's embarrassment, He Xin saw another embarrassment in the venue. It's just that this embarrassment is much more frustrating than that of Adrien Brody.

But in this hall of heroes based on talent, the latter is obviously much more popular than the former. I saw him holding a slender and elegant woman who was half a head taller than him, wearing an ink-style dress, and constantly greeting the filmmakers who came to greet him, sometimes stopping to listen, sometimes smiling and communicating.

That's right, this is the only Chinese film "Ren Yao" shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's film director Jia Kechang and his heroine Zhao Tao.

He Xin has never seen Section Chief Jia's movies in his life, but only later in a movie called "After the End" created by more than a dozen assistant directors, he met Section Chief Jia who played the role of the second uncle of the severed hand in it.

Since his rebirth, since he has entered this circle and is also famous for his literary films, He Xin naturally wants to learn the works of the famous Section Chief Jia.

"Xiao Wu" and "Platform", the two films that are now shortlisted for "Ren Yao", were later called the "hometown trilogy" of Chief Jia.

It took a great deal of patience to see the end from beginning to end, and if there was one word to describe these two films, it would be "boring", two words, "long, boring", and three words, "gray, long, boring".

The picture is rough, endless long shots, and there is no technology at all. And after watching these two films, he knew that this kind of movie was banned for Mao, because he couldn't see any hope in these two movies.

What is a movie? It is art, and at the same time, it should actively guide the audience to establish correct life values, not the opposite.

Perhaps it is because foreigners are accustomed to exquisite pictures and the use of various lenses that they will favor this kind of film that they call "original". Or perhaps foreigners would prefer to see a China that is always in the dark and without any hope.

The so-called sixth-generation directors all have their own complexes, Section Chief Jia's hometown complex, Wang Xiaoshuai's third-line plot, Lou Ye's sea plot and so on.

Maybe there are one or another outrageous places in their films, but at least there is a theme, Wang Xiaoshuai's films always leave a glimmer of hope; Lou Ye's films always revolve around love, but in Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu" and "Platform", you can't find a clear theme.

However, one of the things that has to be embarrassing at this year's film festival is that those big names who have been pinned on by the domestic media before, such as "With You" by the former Palme d'Or winner Kai Ye, "Spring in a Small Town" by Grange Zhuangzhuang, who has been grinding a sword for ten years, etc., but unfortunately people don't care, and they don't even squeeze in a screening unit. But let this black household take the lead, and watched people show off their power here with beautiful women in their arms.

In fact, there is also a Chinese-language film in the main competition unit, which tells the story of China, and the actors are all domestic actors, but the name is named a French movie, which makes people even more helpless.

"The Little Tailor" was scheduled to premiere in the afternoon of the day after the opening ceremony.

It's just that the sky is not beautiful, and the next morning, the sky is gray, and a light rain is falling. May is the rainy season, and the rare good weather at the opening ceremony yesterday is God's help.

Maybe the jet lag hasn't been completely reversed, He Xin woke up early, he was bored sitting in the room, so he simply held an umbrella and went to the beach to take a walk, the wind and waves on the beach were obviously much bigger than yesterday, looking into the distance, gray, as if the sky and the sea were connected together.

Because of the weather, the streets have rarely become a little depressed, blowing the cool sea breeze and breathing the humid air, He Xin thinks of his hometown again. Every year in April and May, the small county town in my hometown is also like this, and the only difference is probably that there are not so many palm trees by the sea.

All traces of his life in that small county town are gone, thinking about the hard life of his life, and then looking at his current self, he will have a feeling in a dream every time.

Every time a person quietly expresses his emotions like this, He Xin's mood will become very good, as the so-called reminiscing about the past and cherishing the present.

At the premiere in the afternoon, he was dressed in a straight dress, standing beside director Dai Sijie in a human appearance, with a warm smile on his face, and almost every audience who entered the theater nodded and said hello.

Zhou Xun, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but touch his arm and asked in a low voice, "What's good today, why are you so happy?"

The creature smiled back at her and said, "Because I like rainy days!"

Wow! What a literary sentence!

It's a pity that Brother Xun couldn't get it at all, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "Inexplicable!"

In contrast, producer Aunt Lisa and director Desjie are both very calm.

"The Little Tailor" is not a film that came out of thin air, it has a deep readership in France before, so the premiere was placed in the largest hall of 1,000 people in the Palais du CinΓ©math, and it ended up surprisingly full.

Before the screening, as usual, the main creative team stage, the host is a handsome French brother, first introduced one by one, when He Xin was introduced, I don't know what the French brother said, the scene suddenly sent out a "boom" A commotion, and then I heard someone in the audience shouting: "Rotten fish, rotten fish......

Rotten fish?

Fortunately, he Ma reacted, it should be Lan Yu.

Flattered, he waved his hand to the audience, and at the same time wondered in his heart, when did buddies become so famous in France?

Seeing his surprised look, Dai Sijie turned his head and smiled and whispered to him: "Don't you know, when "Lan Yu" premiered here last year, it was very sensational. Moreover, France has a special art theater, and such popular literary films are screened for a long time. The audience here today may have some of you who just watched "Lan Yu" last night. ”

When the weekly news was introduced, there was also a warm applause at the scene. Although the Paris actress is not an international A coffee award, after all, it is the Frenchman's own award, and the audience still gives Brother Xun a lot of face.

After the introduction, Dai Sijie said a few simple words, and then it was an interview with reporters, among which there was a white girl with glasses who said a lot, Dai Sijie helped translate it to mean that he is now much stronger than in "Lan Yu", and asked him if he was the image in "The Little Tailor".

He Xin estimated that the meaning of the girl's words was that he was fat rather than strong, and it may have been deliberately turned over by Lao Dai to take care of his face.

"My character in 'The Little Tailor' is still very thin, and if you've seen it, you'll know that it was an era when you didn't have enough to eat. As for my current image, it is the need of the characters in another work. ”

The girl then asked, "Can we see this new work of yours?"

He replied with a smile: "It's not very likely, because it's a TV series." ”

The girl's expression was obviously a little disappointed, and she added, "I still think your thin body in "Lan Yu" looks very sexy. ”

"Then you won't be disappointed. ”

He originally wanted to say that you will be able to see it next year, and before "Purple Butterfly" was filmed, the French film company had already bought out the overseas market, and it would definitely be screened in France, but after all, it was the premiere of "The Little Tailor", so it was not good to say anything.

The interview before the screening was brief, and more questions were put on after the screening.

As everyone got to their seats, the lights went out and the official screening began.

Just like when he was in Berlin, the first time he saw the premiere of his work at the film festival, He Xin was quite excited, and Chen Kun and Zhou Xun around him obviously couldn't wait.

At the beginning of the film, there is a long shot, a majestic mountain, and then a slender stone path winding around, and the long music is accompanied by the horn of the mountain worker, and the camera slowly zooms in, and you see He Xin and Chen Kun carrying luggage, carrying a net bag of basins and cups, clanging, and walking on the mountain road in an embarrassed shape.

Then the camera turned, the two stood in the center of the cabin, all the luggage was open, the villagers gathered around, and the captain played by Wang Shuangbao was checking their luggage with a serious face.

When the captain threw Luo Ming's recipe into the fire, and then wanted to burn Ma Jianling's violin, there was a commotion at the scene. But then the captain and the villagers saw the alarm clock for the first time, and they looked very curious.

"Boom!"

The audience burst into laughter.

It's just that this laughter made He Xin very uncomfortable.

Desjeg can't be blamed for this, he just shows what he has experienced firsthand. It's like seeing that the people in the primitive tribes of Africa are full of all kinds of unknowns about modern life, and the childish behavior they show will make them laugh, but if they are ridiculed by others for their backwardness, they will definitely be unhappy, because this is human nature.

Until the crowd dispersed, He Xin's dull face and fearful eyes for the future appeared on the screen and said:

"If you want to stay in this mountain for the rest of your life, your back will be cold when you think about it. ”

The audience fell silent as the film returned to its original rhythm.

When Luo Ming and Ma Jianling stole a box of foreign countries from Four Eyes, and heard the names that are very familiar to French people, such as Madame Bovary, "Huss Mirouet", "Old Man Gao", etc., the audience's emotions were mobilized again.

It's like when the Chinese audience sees that the people of a certain United States are flocking to the literary works of our great writers such as Zhou Shuren and Zhou Hexuan, they feel the same sense of pride.

Then there is the eternal theme of love, Luo Ming's passionate love for the little tailor, Ma Jianling's implicit love, and Balzac's are intertwined.

Although "The Little Tailor" shows that crazy era, the overall style is fresh and chic. The whole movie is full of good scenery, filled with the past years that cannot be looked back, filled with youth, love, jade hope, dampness, confusion, and amorous......

The sensual Brother Xun burst into tears, and Chen Kun, like an ordinary audience, was sometimes excited and sometimes lonely with the plot. He Xin also watched it very seriously, he paid more attention to his performance, and the result was very gratifying.

If he still feels a little young in "Lan Yu", then in this film he feels that his performance is natural and smooth, and his emotions are just right, with obvious marks of maturity.

The film, which lasted less than two hours, was quickly finished.

The screen dimmed and the lights came back on. There was an eerie silence in the auditorium, and the air seemed to stop for a moment, but then, as if agreed, the audience stood up.

"Whoa......

Immediately afterwards, the applause was thunderous, warm and long.

They thank the film from the bottom of their hearts, thanks to the story.

Desjie wiping tears from his eyes.

Chen Kun's voice became choked.

Brother Xun burst into tears.

And the original discomfort in He Xin's heart was relieved with applause at this moment.

There is a mistake in the chapter, Chen Kun has acted in "Pink Girl" and milk tea should be very familiar, it is impossible to meet for the first time in Cannes, it has been modified, thank you for the reminder of "not being happy".
