Chapter 156: Gain and Loss
Far from being as radiant as you see in the images, the man is very thin and shriveled, with many fine lines on his face, especially crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
"Hey, is this your idol?" Zhou Xun pushed him and asked softly.
"It's not. ”
"No, you're still staring at people?"
"You're a movie queen, aren't you curious? Oh, I forgot that you seem to be a movie queen too. ”
Of course, the end of provoking Brother Xun was a stinging pain in He Xin's arm, and he was pinched hard by this girl.
As a result, Chen Kun gloated and said: "Xiaoxun, Ah Xin means to let you praise him as an actor!"
Chen Guofu's speech was very brief, roughly to welcome everyone's applause, and there was no interview session, and soon the film began to be screened.
"Double Eyes" tells the story of a stubborn Wanwan police detective played by Liang Jiahui and FBI experts in the United States who team up to hunt down the real murderer behind the bizarre serial murder case.
Milk Tea plays the wife of the Wanwan police detective in the film.
He Xin watched this movie mainly for Liang Jiahui, the double actor of the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue, Brother Jiahui did not disappoint him, and his performance in the film is still as stable as an old dog. However, what surprised him was the performance of milk tea in the film, which gave him a refreshing feeling.
To be honest, although Milk Tea has been crowned an Asia-Pacific actress before, she has seen her play the role of a marriage maniac on the set of "Astringent Girl" several times, and her performance is really average. And milk tea became popular as a singer before.
How to say it, he has always subconsciously thought that professional people should do professional things, and he is very disdainful of what cross-border is popular at the moment, such as film and television songs. It's no problem to cross over film and television, it's all performances, it's just that the platforms on which they are broadcast are different, but the singing of singing, the singing of acting, can this be done well?
In short, he is not very optimistic.
Just like there are many actors who have crossed over to become directors in later generations, of course, there are many successful examples, and some even set domestic box office records. But now that I think about it, those action movies and comedies have a relatively low threshold after all, and it is almost impossible to reach the height of a national teacher. If you let them make some movies with a little depth and style, I'm afraid they are not as good as Kai Ye, Feng Xiaogang and others.
If you insist on saying that there is, then after so many years, I am afraid that there will be an outlier like Jiang Wen.
Although He Xin saw the movie poster at the beginning, he felt that it seemed to be a bad movie, but when he actually watched it, it was surprisingly good-looking.
And he looked at it and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
Especially when I saw the Taoist symbols in the film, as well as the motives for killing people corresponding to the five elements of yin and yang in the back, cultivating immortals and killing people, and the Taoist temples in the hospital, etc., isn't this the "Tang Detective 2" I watched in my last life?
It was a Chinese New Year blockbuster with a box office of up to 3 billion, which whitewashed a director who was a scumbag and a greasy man in one fell swoop, and won the title of a talented director.
Of course, it can't be completely copied, it can only be said to be borrowed, but the eye-catching elements in the movie are almost exactly the same, just like Chen Guofu's previous "Marriage Notice" and later Feng Xiaogang's "Insincere Disturbance", which are all routines.
Thinking of this, He Xin inevitably felt a little sad in his heart!
The premiere of "Double Pupils", although it was very popular, the response after that was very average. At the beginning, the audience probably came because this was a horror movie, but the Taoist elements in it were very unfamiliar to foreigners.
It's like "The Seven Deadly Sins", which is a very good movie in the eyes of foreigners, because it is full of familiar Christian elements. But for domestic audiences, how many people can say that this movie is good?
On the 23rd, Chief Jia's "Ren Yao" premiered.
As the only film in this big country to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, He Xin naturally went to the show. It's just a pity that Zhou Xun and Chen Kun couldn't go together because their agent arranged other activities.
It's understandable to think about it, after all, Section Chief Jia is still a black household, and the domestic media can't report too much. However, the organizers gave the first arrival in Cannes to Chief Jia enough courtesy, not only arranging the world premiere of "Let It Loose" be held at the Lumière Palace, the main venue of the competition, but even sending 15 special cars to pick up the production staff of China, France, Japan and South Korea.
The Lumière Palace, which can accommodate more than 2,000 spectators, was sold out that day, and the audience stood up at the end of the screening and applauded for five minutes, bringing Jacoon to tears.
He Xin, who stood in the crowd and applauded together, really couldn't get the magical brain circuits of these foreigners, this long shot that was still long, boring, and frustrating in his eyes, full of Jia Kechang's distinct personal style, where was their excitement?
Especially at the end of the film, Wang Hongwei, who has nothing to do with the plot, suddenly appeared, no dialogue, no plot, three and a half minutes of long shots, just playing billiards in circles, the whole picture is dark, rough, and confusing.
It wasn't until he walked out of the theater that He Xin suddenly realized that the reason why Section Chief Jia arranged this section was probably to draw an end to his hometown trilogy.
After two more days, the closing ceremony of the 55th Cannes International Film Festival was finally ushered in, and the red carpet of the closing ceremony had more than half of the guests than the opening ceremony, including Hollywood superstars Xiao Lizi and Cameron Diaz, who had attracted thousands of people to promote the new movie "Gangs of New York", many award-winning crews, and the so-called Chinese army that came to promote domestic films and select foreign films that the people of their country liked to see, all of them had already returned home early.
The closing ceremony was unrelenting, with the Palme d'Or being awarded to Roman Polanski's anti-war film "The Pianist"; the Best Director was awarded to Lim Kwon-taek, the director of the Korean film "Drunken Fairy", and Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of the American film "Confused Love", and the actress was won by Finnish actress Kauris Marqui in "The Man Without a Past", while the winner of Best Actor was unexpectedly awarded to the Belgian film "Sons" Olivier Gurme, the most popular actor in "The Pianist", Adrien Brody, lost the trophy.
He Xin witnessed the disappointed expression of Yi Mei when he heard the award presenters on the stage announce the actor candidates. Maybe no one would have thought at this time that ten months later, Yi Mei won the Oscar for his outstanding performance in "The Pianist".
"The Little Tailor", Chief Jia's "Let It Go", and "The Devil's Lover" by Manshen's husband have not been received.
Compared with the loss of the two embarrassed eyebrows, Dai Sijie seems very calm, and he is very satisfied to be able to enter the main competition unit of this film festival. Besides, the sales of the movie are also good, and the investment was recovered early, and there are still a lot of benefits.
After the closing ceremony, a small cocktail party was held at the hotel. I was ready early in the morning, and I originally thought that if I won the award, it would be a celebration party, and it would naturally become a drinking party before the particles were collected.
Zhou Xun likes this kind of place and atmosphere the most, and he laughed and laughed to find someone to toast as usual, and he also pulled He Xin to dance rumba together. Chen Kun was the only one sitting in the corner, looking a little depressed.
He Xin wanted to go over and ask and comfort him.
was stopped by Zhou Xun, "Don't pay attention to him, others are like this, it will be fine in two days." ”
What does Chen Kun say?
He Xin has a good relationship with him, and he knows a little bit about his personality, he must be very good, enthusiastic, and willing to help others. But he is often very thoughtful, delicate, sensitive, and very strict about protecting his privacy.
For example, not long ago, he just had a son, and he often looked at the photos on his mobile phone and was silly, and he didn't dodge, and admitted very calmly that this was his son. But there is no mention of the topic of who is the son's mother.
He Xin judged that Zhou Xun should know, and the agent Li Xiaowan may also know, of course, he would not be stupid enough to inquire about people's privacy in private. However, this made him admire Chen Kun's courage and envy the other party at the same time.
He also wants to have a child, but unfortunately no one wants to give birth to him now!
Chen Kun has been known as a "melancholy student" by the outside world since his debut. On the one hand, it is the relationship between the characters he plays, and on the other hand, it must be that he has this thing in his personality.
Just like now, although "The Little Tailor" did not win the award, everyone is still very happy, but he cares very much, he is depressed alone, and he has a heavy heart of gain and loss.
Because of the time difference, after the closing ceremony of the film festival, He Xin did not call his girlfriend for the first time, until the end of the reception, almost one o'clock in the morning, estimated that his girlfriend should get up, so he dialed over.
As for the fact that he didn't win the award, he himself looked at it very lightly. With so many shortlisted films, who can guarantee that they will win the award?
When he was in Berlin and later won the Golden Horse Awards, it felt like pie in the world for him. Everything should be fair, and good things should not always fall on one's head.
But his girlfriend was still like the last time he returned empty-handed at the Academy Awards, and he comforted him on the phone for a while, and his originally peaceful state of mind became a little troubled and lost.
There was no need to stay without the award, and the next afternoon they set out on their way home.
