The president of the jury of the 75th edition of the Cannes International Film Festival is Behm, a Danish female director, 64 years old this year, who began making her first feature film at the age of 30, and can be said to be the most famous living female director in the world.

That is, Yuan Dixing does not have director Li Shaohong, otherwise it can be compared, in fact, when Chu Shun was a troll on the earth, although he also sprayed a new Dream of Red Mansions, he always felt that Director Li was a pity, "Red Pink" and "Red Suit" can be called talented, but after "Dream of Red Mansions", the blow was too big, and there was no aura at that time.

Without further ado, Behm spoke at the opening ceremony: "A total of 62 films have been shortlisted for this year's Cannes International Film Festival. These films were selected from 2109 registered films, and it was also the first time that the film festival exceeded 2,000 for the first time, and a number of newcomer works were shortlisted, proving that more talented directors have appeared in recent years, except that I would like to mention that a total of 15 female directors have been shortlisted, congratulations. ”

Chu Shun came to Cannes at the opening ceremony this time, and the crew of "Cinema Paradiso" also had to walk the red carpet of the opening ceremony at the Cinema Palace.

Last time Chu Shun went to the Venice Film Festival at the awards ceremony, and this time the abnormal opening ceremony came, mainly because he had been playing for too long.

From the end of the filming in August to the end of post-production in September, Chu Shun took a break for eight months, that is, more than half a year.

You must know that the movie has not been released, and Chu Shun can't draw new movies, Chu Shun has been traveling in the mountains and rivers for eight months, but he can't be born to work hard, he can't enjoy Qingfu, he feels that his limbs are a little stiff, so he went to Cannes in advance to move.

On the red carpet, reporters must be varied, and the global entertainment media are there, such as "Cinema Weekly", but unfortunately it is not Lao Yi who came to Cannes last time to partner with him in Venice, and think about it, it is impossible for expatriates to always use the same person.

There are five people that many journalists are most concerned about, and Chu Shun is certainly one of them, and he is also one of the best candidates to win the Palme d'Or this time.

Among the other four, two of them are Hollywood actors who have been famous for a long time, both of them have Oscar winner Xiaojin in hand, and the shortlisted movies starring the two have excellent acting skills, so "Cannes for the Emperor" is also one of the highlights of this Cannes Film Festival.

There are two left, one is the thirty-six-year-old beautiful actress Leia who showed disfiguring acting skills, she is an old vase, from the age of seventeen to the age of thirty-five, she did not show any acting skills, and she suddenly showed amazing acting skills last year, which is the same as enlightening.

Among the four, the most threatening to Chu Shun to win the Palme d'Or is the French director Guy Walker, who knows that the highest award of the French Film Festival is the Caesar Award, don't get me wrong, it is not to commemorate the Julius Caesar who conquered France, but to commemorate the famous sculptor, a sculptor named Caesar.

Guy Walker won two César Awards for Best Director, a Golden Globe Award for Best Director, an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, a Berlin Golden Bear, and a Tokyo Golden Kirin Award.

The key is that Guy Walker's participation in the movie is also wonderful, it is the movie "Bad Taste" that Leia received a disfiguring acting evaluation.

This movie fully interprets that men like to "force good people to become prostitutes, and persuade women to be good", in general, they like to see women change for themselves.

Léa plays the role of makeup from the age of twenty-one to fifty-one, just thirty years, from a good girl to a sex worker, and then start all over again, and finally forced to become a sex worker again because of life, and because of the old pearl, no business, starved to death on the Place de la Bastille, a symbol of the free nation in France.

Downright tragedy, the film was released before signing up, which caused quite a stir, "Bad Taste" is a domestic translation, and the literal translation of the original name is "Thirty Years".

If you talk about status, Guy Walker and Odia, the former is slightly higher, probably if you want to shoot some of the top ten European directors of the 21st century, Guy ranks fifth, and Odya ranks sixth and seventh.

On the other hand, in terms of popularity, Odya is much better, Guy has a bad mouth and loves people, as early as two years ago Odya invited Guy to join the Dante Society, and then Guy replied "You change the name of the club to Hugo Society, I will consider joining." ”

Dante was an Italian writer, and then Hugo was a French writer......

"Director Guy, do you think you can win the Palme d'Or? Will Cinema Paradiso be your biggest rival?" asked a reporter from the British Entertainment Newspaper.

"Please call me Director Walker, you're not familiar enough to call me Guy. Guy had rough skin on his face, a beard, but not a mess, and it was evident that he had taken a special break.

"What do you want to hear me say? Listen to me say harsh things to other directors? His films haven't been shown yet, what do you think I'm going to evaluate. "Guy came up with a set of serial cannons.

Fortunately, the reporter is also very aware of the director's temper and is used to it, so he immediately added: "I thought Director Walker would have confidence in his work." ”

The implication is that even if you haven't seen it, you should have confidence in yourself that you can win the Palme d'Or.

"Do you think I'm going to say that the critics are going to conclude that 'The Beautiful Legend of Sicily' won the Golden Lion because it was a triumph to the Italians?] Guy withdrew a distinctly mocking smile on his face: "The worst thing is that you British journalists like you like to provoke the ignorant. ”

After Guy finished speaking, he went straight to the Movie Palace, he didn't think that his movie was bad, but he didn't comment on the movie without watching it.

He had read "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", but he didn't like it, and felt that he thought the story was too legendary and untrue.

Like the films he made, he preferred to look directly at the cruelty of reality, and he felt that no matter how well the films with good memories of Sicily were made, he would not like them.

Of course, I don't like it or deny its artistry, Guy's favorite clip is the plot of all the women dragging Marlena out, it is that everyone has no man, which is in line with his heart, but the hand is too light, he should tear all the clothes and pants, and then the bruises all over the body are not good, at least the arms and hands must be broken.

That's what Guy thinks, what is reality, reality will give you good things, and then eventually destroy it with death.

It was impossible for reporters to chase after them on the red carpet, so British reporters had to give up, thinking to themselves that there really was no reporter who could take advantage of the old guy Guy Walker.

The Palais du Cinema is also the place where the Cannes Film Festival is held, which can be understood as the Grand Theater.

Chu Shun didn't say anything, he answered a small question from the reporter of "Film Weekly" on the red carpet.

The opening meeting lasted about five hours, and the main creative team of sixty-two films was five hours less.

After entering the red carpet, Chu Shun visited the Movie Palace, and to be honest, Chu Shun also came for the first time.

Although the Palais du Cinema is just a ticketing attraction when the film festival is not open, Chu Shun did not spare money to come to Cannes in his previous life.

The space is very small, about a quarter of the Lido hall of the Venice Film Festival, so the Cannes Film Festival does not show films in the form of exhibition halls, but in the form of cinemas, and the shortlisted films are shown according to the screening list.

It is also an invitation to the filmmakers to watch, the theater is very large, and it is not a lie to say that it looks like a large theater.

After shopping in more than ten minutes, Chu Shun walked out of the movie palace from the back and met Lao Liang, who also came out, who immediately greeted him.

"Director Chu, I feel that the Cannes Film Festival is not as big as the Venice Film Festival. Lao Liang whispered, this is his own personal experience after walking through the movie palace.

"Doesn't it mean that the Cannes Film Festival is the first of the three major film festivals in Europe?" Lao Liang's thoughts were very simple, the first must be big.

"The highest gold content is not necessarily common, and Cannes is a small town originally, what else do you want?" Chu Shun glanced at Lao Liang.

"Yes. Lao Liang nodded.

Seriously, Cannes is bustling except for the bustling croisette promenade in the center street, and in other places, you can treat it as an ordinary European town, and the biggest difference between it and the Sicilian town is that there are many sailboats on the shore, and it feels like every family has a boat.

In fact, it is not enough for every household to have a boat, because of the influx of tourists, every household has a small motorcycle.

The main reason for the number of boats is that the Cannes Yacht Festival is also the largest offshore yacht event in the world, and I have to say why the country has been crazy about establishing a city film festival in the past few years, because it really drives the economy.

Just such a small town, driven by the film festival, can enter the world's top 500 cities, and the economic benefits are too great.

Cannes is expensive to stay in normal times, but if it's a film festival, the price can make you doubt your life, so many European tourists bring sleeping bags and sleep on the street.

"I'll go shopping in a while, Director Chu has anything to recommend. Lao Liang asked.

Chu Shun asked, "Do you just go shopping, or do you want to go shopping with tasks, or do you want to go shopping happily." ”

"What's the fun shopping?" Lao Liang said: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to go to the trial." ”

"There's a lot going on in Cannes at night, and I've heard that there's a bar called Medusa that has a dance show in the evening. Chu Shun said.

"I see. Lao Liang nodded very seriously, and then left after a few pleasantries.

"Young people are just anxious. Chu Shun pondered, it seems that the rest of the crew is in trouble.

After Azula and Carlo walked the red carpet, they followed their agents to organize a drinking party or join the drinking party, and asked Chu Shun if he would go, it was expected that the occasion was a little noisy, so Chu Shun refused.

It's not that Chu Shun is cold, it's just that they have all crossed over, they all have systematic wives, and they are all famous directors, can't they still focus on their own mood?

Odia, the assistant director and one of the protagonists, released a film early last year and participated in the 75th Locarno International Film Festival.

That's right, the Locarno International Film Festival was founded in the same year as the Cannes Film Festival, and it is not a pheasant film festival, but the four major film festivals are adding it.

The important supporting actor Jemano is recuperating at home, and his health is still a little bad, but the child star dumpling is here and goes to see the museum with his father.

Chu Shun was about to go to the beach to blow the wind, while most of the stars were organizing their own drinking party, and a small number of directors and film critics were watching the opening ceremony movie.

The opening film of the Cannes Film Festival is "Cinema Paradiso", and this film will be shown today, Guy is the director who stays, and he wants to see why the opening film is not his "Bad Taste".
