Chapter 275: Red Carpet (1/5)
The routine of the Olympic art film: starting from the Cannes Film Festival, all the way down the major art film festivals, accumulating enough reputation, and then going to the Oscars.
Or start operating from Venice...
Anyway, you always have to take advantage of the three major European ...
The routines are all the same, the rest depends on the means!
In fact, there are a lot of things hidden in this kind of thing!
For example, at this year's Cannes, if you get the president of the jury, it won't be a problem to win an award.
It's a little hard...
This year's president of the jury is Isabelle Huppert...
A filmmaker who wanders around Europe.
Deeply influenced by the French New Wave, he is fond of some dark characters - characters that challenge the bottom line of ethics, such as "The Piano Teacher", "Mother, the Limits of Love"...
Therefore, she has never had a good impression of Hollywood movies.
It's up to Fox to unblock this...
Anyway, News Corp is good at eavesdropping...
Well, it's a joke.
But even if you don't award the Palme d'Or to Shen Mengxi, at least you have to give Xiao Li Zi an actor trophy.
He alone attracted at least half of the media present...
Another problem, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the New Wave of French cinema, and the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival paid tribute to Antonioni's classic film "Adventure" in 1959 with great fanfare on the official poster, and the organizing committee also screened Fellini's 1960 Palme d'Or "La Dolce Vita" and the documentary "The Makers of La Dolce Vita"...
So, it's clear ...
This year's Cannes Grand Prix is bound to lean towards the New Wave style.
What is New Wave?
The New Wave, also known as the Cinema Handbook School and the Author's Film: Based on the Cinema Handbook, under the influence of Bazin's theory and Italian neorealist films, most of them recorded or represented an event or some characters in a biographical way, often combining screenwriters, directors, dialogues, music, and even filmmakers to shoot non-political films, trying to sincerely depict men and women and love, exposing hypocrisy.
Let's put it this way, out of the traditional Hollywood narrative!
Whether it's rhythm or narrative, the New Wave is already a thing of the past.
The New Wave actually only had about thirty years of artistic life, but Chinese mainland saw this when it first opened its eyes, and a so-called sixth generation forcibly renewed him.
A bunch of film critics have pushed it to the so-called palace of art...
In fact, what really understands cinema is the New Wave's creation and promotion of film techniques, such as jump cuts, such as color...
As for their films, to be honest, most of them don't understand ...
......
As the opening film, "Manchester by the Sea" naturally attracted much attention and was also one of the key films promoted by the Cannes Film Festival.
It is also the focus of today's red carpet unit!
Coming in second to last - the finale, of course, was the jury...
Leonardo and Logan Lerman are all in black suits, and so is Shen Mengxi...
Generally, when attending such occasions, you must wear a suit and tie a tie.
It's a kind of etiquette!
The reporter interviewed almost ignoring Shen Mengxi and Logan Leman, and all aimed at Xiao Lizi:
"The story explores the evil side of human nature, and the distances and chasms that always exist between people, especially those who have suffered the loss of loved ones. ”
"The script was well written and I was immediately hooked. ”
"When the script is good enough, it's almost half the way through. When you, the writer of the script, work together, you will find that they do a better job than the actors. Shen is an excellent director, and the communication with him is very smooth, and my task is to evoke all kinds of emotions at any time and make the play more convincing, because the lines have already been written!"
"I spend most of my time in this role, like water flowing into the ocean. Sometimes you're completely underwater, drowning in it, and sometimes you're just standing there with water splashing on your ankles. But you've always been in it..."
As a director, Shen Mengxi must also say a few words.
"I don't want to pre-imagine how Leon will act, I want him to be free and adaptable. ”
"What this movie can make depends entirely on Leon..."
"Why is the death of one person so resonant in some groups, while others live their lives indifferently? These stories may all involve personal guilt, but that's not what I'm trying to convey the most. "Manchester by the Sea" may seem more about guilt, but it's just as much about sadness, loyalty, dealing with things and love. ”
"The guilty survived... Almost, you should understand it better after watching the movie. ”
After chatting about this, Shen Mengxi led the two to the front of the movie palace and posed for the reporters to take pictures...
Shen Mengxi looked around, then saw a huge poster, and couldn't help but pat Xiao Lizi: "That's Star Trek?"
"Yes!"
“... it..."
"Star Trek", this film has a huge poster erected at the highest point of Cannes, which can be seen in almost every corner of the small city of Cannes.
It's so conspicuous!
It's too rich...
Such a poster hangs for a week, at least more than a million dollars!
There are many famous directors and actors from all over the world standing on the steps of the movie palace, except for Li Amine and Du Qifeng, most of the other Shen Mengxi don't know each other, and they have no interest in making friends...
Including Quentin Tarantino...
For no other reason, he is suspected of insulting Bruce Lee - this doesn't need to be washed, other people's daughters have come out to say that they feel insulted, and some people say what glass hearts...
By the way, his film shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes is "Inglourious Basterds"...
An anti-German drama.
Sometimes I really can't understand the brain circuits of many people, "Inglourious Basterds" is a god movie, "Hands Up" is garbage...
......
Walking to the side of the jury, Shen Mengxi and Isabelle Huppert took the lead in shaking hands, and the two simply greeted each other without saying anything.
This PR work is definitely done in private...
"Teacher Shu!"
"You don't need to subtract my teacher, you are the teacher..."
Well, the members of the jury have Shu Qi, yes, it's Shu Qi...
"I heard that your film declared war on director Wang Jiawei?"
“... I didn't say that..."
"Hehe..."
Shu Qi smiled and didn't speak...
She made her debut and followed Wang Jing, and estimated that she was very yearning for Wang Jiawei.
Shen Mengxi doesn't eat in Hong Kong, and he didn't even go to the Academy Awards, so he naturally doesn't know what "Manchester by the Sea" has been reported by the local media...
Avenger image.
Shen Mengxi, a person who proved to Wang Jiawei that he understands movies...
"Love by the Sea" was shortlisted for Cannes, and the rich people in the mainland may buy off the judges'...
That's right, Shen Mengxi's image is a prodigal and rich man who spends a lot of money to smile for the Pomeranians...
