There are too many people who come to watch the movie today, especially media reporters, who showed shocking enthusiasm when they were queuing up before.

"Master, it's amazing. ”

Speaking of which, a producer next to Xu Zheng is not as famous as thunder, but his reputation is good - because in addition to some works in his early years, he has focused on the work of young directors in recent years, especially the Youth Film Festival, which has attracted more and more attention, and he is also one of the veterans.

"There are not many directors in China who can make such a big deal in Cannes, right?"

Ji Ming nodded and didn't say anything. However, Xu Zheng, who has the second male lead in the film "Children of Jianghu", is very serious, and he is serious most of the time in private: "This is not a standard, making movies and acting in movies, do you still have to measure popularity? This is a movie palace, not a red carpet." ”

"That's right. The producer nodded knowingly.

Ji Ming was quite curious, the implication of these words seemed to be a little bit - disappointed?

Noticing his gaze, Xu Zheng gestured forward: "You'll know after reading it." ”

And then I finished reading it.

The applause was quite enthusiastic.

If you are a fan of Jia Zhangke, you should be able to get a lot of emotion in this movie - because this is a self-respecting film. Over the past many years, Jia Zhangke's films have a time span, from the 90s to the beginning of the 21st century, people are changing, and his hometown is also changing.

This drama uses the heroine's Qiaoqiao's 17-year life experience to shuttle from Jia Zhangke's movie world......

I love it very much, and I am very confused when I am confused.

After the screening, there is no communication session, tomorrow at noon, "Children of Jianghu" will have a press conference in the press conference hall, at that time it was a media exchange session, and there should be a Chinese media exchange session later, in short, there will be no one after today's screening.

Xu Zheng greeted Director Jia, Director Jia and Zhao Tao were busy, surrounded by many acquaintances.

"How's that? ”

"Ha, there is no difference between being honest and being dishonest in this play. Ji Ming smiled, feeling that his words were quite level.

Xu Zheng glanced at him, thought about this leveled sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt. What does it mean to be honest and dishonest? It means that you can't blow anything out of it even if you blow it hard, and there are no particularly big shortcomings to be criticized when you talk honestly.

Jia-style works within the level are slightly mediocre.

"Zhao Tao's performance is still okay. ”

"EMM is a lot of transverse stretching in space, and I'm afraid there is a lack of longitudinal stretching. Ji Ming paused and pondered for a while: "To be honest, Sister Tao wants to take Cannes, relying on Director Jia's works, I guess it's very difficult, Director Jia's movie is too familiar, Sister Tao's face is more familiar in his movie, unless the judges feel that they need to make up for him, it's not too likely to give an award, right-will there be such a thing as making up for it? Or thirty years later?"

Quite frankly.

In fact, Zhao Tao is the only leading actor in this play, including Liao Fan, not to mention Xu Zheng and Feng Xiaopao, all of whom are supporting roles.

The main reason is that Director Jia doesn't seem to have any intention of going in this direction, if he is more frank, the theme is a little more condensed, and from his habitual narrative of small town changes, further explore from the perspective of women, then Zhao Tao's breakthrough may also be greater, not like now, not up or down, very embarrassing.

You must know that there are 5 women in this year's jury, and for the first time there are more women than men, it is difficult to say that such an excavation will not be advantageous.

For example, at the premiere of "Daughter of the Sun" tomorrow afternoon, there will be an action of 82 female filmmakers on the red carpet together, and Wen Yan was also invited - it can be seen that the current chairman Cate Blanchett is inclined to give the award to films that show the power of women in a relatively flat level comparison.

Xu Zheng nodded silently, he is actually becoming more and more limited in watching movies now, because he is too busy, there are too many commercial activities, and there are many talents under his hands, the screenwriter team, the producer team, and the marketing team, he mainly controls some themes and directions.

"When I first saw it, I didn't think it was particularly energetic, you know. But this is his work, let's just make a cameo, don't be disgusted," Xu Zheng shook his big bald head: "When someone asks when you go out, you either don't answer, or don't just say it." ”

"I really didn't expect that I was so naïve in your eyes, it seems that you still understand me. ”

“……”

Xu Zheng felt that Taohong must have talked about Ji Ming as a junior, which made him forget that this kid was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

When the two came out together, the Chinese reporter who was waiting at the door was full of adrenaline, and he surrounded him with an arrow step, and the microphone was in his mouth as fast as he could.

"Go a little bit over there, there's a door blocking here. Xu Zheng hurriedly let go and led a large group of reporters to move a few steps to the wall.

The foreign audience next to it, and some various filmmakers are also curious to look at the Chinese here, and some old outsiders also come to join in the fun - may be some reporters who pay more attention to Chinese films, of course, there are also some who recognize Ji Minglai.

For example, a reporter who wants to say that Ji Ming's red carpet bombing, in fact, the biggest impact is not France, but Italy, which has the factor of Salvatore Ferragamo, and the reason why people who are interested in eating this bite - he may have become the most familiar Chinese star in the hearts of young people, especially young people, with that 100-meter red carpet.

After the Chinese reporters surrounded Xu Zheng and asked him, the Italian curly-haired guy suddenly shouted an indistinguishable "Ming", but everyone still understood who he was calling.

There was also no translation on site.

Ji Ming watched as the Chinese reporters were very graceful and gave up time to the curly-haired brother, and the curly-haired brother squeaked and wanted to ask in English - he looked around, and had to ask him in Italian: "Do you have a problem?"

Yes.

The curly-haired brother's eyes lit up, like a teddy who saw a female dog, and his dark eyes widened.

"Ah, I want to ask you how you feel about Italy, there are a lot of people in Italy who are fascinated by your performance at the opening ceremony, and you also endorse our top brands, so will you be at this year's Milan Fashion Week for Spring/Summer?

Bang no, bang bang......

"Slow down, slow down, although I know a little Italian, but not so good. ”

The little brother smiled and quickly slowed down again and asked again.

"Milan will go, yes, I'll actually go to Italy before, there's a promotional video to be filmed. Italy, well, is certainly a place that can't be overlooked when it comes to fashion all over the world, whether it's fashion weeks or the many amazing brands, designers, and manufacturing traditions. I'm looking forward to it and hope to see you again. ”

"Oh sure, I'm looking forward to it, thank you. ”

The little brother still understands the rules better, and after asking this set, he stood back.

"Can you tell me what he asked?"

"Huh?" Ji Ming confirmed and looked at Xu Zheng beside him: "I seem to be quite miserable, if I want to be interviewed once, I have to act as a translator myself?"

"Haha. ”

"Just ask me how I feel about Italy, because of the endorsement, well. ”

The reporters turned a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and it was also a gimmick to be asked by Italian reporters. And some media that brought photographers didn't believe Ji Ming's translation, and they were going to go back to find colleagues for help later.

At this time, I still ask "Children of Jianghu".

Xu Zheng had already said some clichés just now.

"There is a very strong personal style of Director Jia, and when it ended just now, the applause was also very warm and enduring. Everyone loved the movie. ”

"Do you think it's going to win a prize?"

"I may not have the level of the jury, so I can't give you an answer, but I very much hope that "Children of Jianghu", or other Chinese works, Chinese filmmakers, and even Asian films, can be rewarded. ”

The reporter sighed, feeling that he couldn't get any material.

"Then do you have any expectations for "Immortals"? Have you ever thought about winning the best actor yourself?"

"I've actually answered before, just let it be, things that can't be decided, I'm lucky, I lose my life, and I'm normal. ”

Xu Zheng added: "He's still young, the first play will come to Cannes, not this time, there will be a lot of opportunities next time." Okay, thank you, we still have a trip later, so we won't delay. ”

The media had no choice but to let it go - Ji Ming didn't hear those questions about the red carpet.

"Children of Jianghu" has really attracted much attention, and since watching it, Ji Ming has been able to hear people discussing this movie - judging from the feedback he heard, his evaluation of Xu Zheng can be regarded as the mainstream. In Director Jia's heart, I don't know if I am disappointed, or if I have a bottom.

On the fifth day of Cannes, the house magazine was released, "Daughter of Jianghu" scored 2.9 points, and the full score was 4 points, which is an upper-middle score, not low. So far, only slightly less than Godard's Book of Images 3.0.

"The Hollywood Reporter" described it as "an epic that breaks the romance", and the evaluation is not high, but it also points out that "there will be doubts about the lack of innovation to some extent", and the evaluation given by other field magazines such as "Variety" is also generally positive - especially worth mentioning, Zhao Tao has received a relatively high evaluation.

Reviews consider her performance in it to be complete and crucial.

For a time, Zhao Tao's voice after the victory was not only spread in the Chinese media, but also included a considerable number of European observers - Zhao Tao was a strong contender for the actress.

……

"Immortals" is on the morning of the fifth day of Cannes, starting at half past seven, more than 100 minutes, and ending at about half past nine.

There is also a premiere red carpet, but it is not as powerful as "Children of Jianghu", many Chinese stars, the filmmaker did not invite, it is not anxious. So there are probably some directors and producers who came, such as Xu Zheng, such as Jia Zhangke, Huo Jianqi, and the leader of the meeting, Xi supermodel, and a supermodel fairy girl, the two supermodels are on the same scene, but it is a bit of a gimmick.

In addition to this, there are also judges Léa Seydoux, the director and star of "Happy Lazaro" Andri, among others.

However, the big star of the entire red carpet is none other than the starring Ji Ming.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad. Wen Yan was about to die of laughter: "Yuanyuan didn't come, Qi Xi didn't come either, you were very good, you held up our red carpet." ”

"That's not it, handsome like me, the heroine is all an additive. ”

“…… OK. ”

Today, Ji Ming didn't plan to take the elegant buff, he planned to take the Li Yuan buff, that is, the temperament of the protagonist of "Immortals", the old saying is repeated, called empty mountain new rain, Qingquan Mingyin - he now understands his red carpet advantages very well, because of the characteristics of koi, he will have a feeling similar to archives, and he can take it out and use it again after filming.

Absolutely versatile!

The main creator is the finale.

It was relatively calm before and after, and when the host announced the appearance of the main creator of "Immortals", the flashing lights began to be intensive.

Ji Ming and Wen Yan, as well as Wang Juan of Penguin, President Zhang of Xitian, and Wang Sheng, who does international distribution, were loosely divided into two rows and walked on the red carpet together - after the group photo, everyone took a step forward with a very tacit understanding, leaving only Ji Ming.

"Huh. ”

He smiled so big that he could see two-thirds of it on his tongue.

The lake blue loose suit, open, with a silk shirt full of vertical sense inside, also has some special ribbon design, the pants are more classic design, and the shoes are also a little more fashionable, relaxed and casual.

But many reporters focused their cameras on his face.

Smiley.

It seems that the spring water is tinkling, as if the silver bell is singing, as if after the rainstorm, a touch of azure falls with a rainbow, as if the storm on the sea gradually subsides, and the flat waves reflect the sun in the sky.

The temperament is very different from the opening red carpet.

The curly-haired brother who accidentally interviewed him yesterday blinked his eyes and patted his hands: "It's completely different." ”

"Yes," he said, a reporter from Corriere della Sera, next to him, "he must be a powerful actor, or he is a man born for the red carpet, hahaha, that's good." ”

Changeable in itself is another meaning of charm.

Isn't the gratuitous and unpredictable change an important reason for attracting moths to the fire?

Some women will feel that men like to be women, but they don't like their duties, to be honest, in fact, most men don't like to do it, but doing this action will make them have a sense of freshness and change, so being a woman for a lifetime is probably a kind of talent - if the work is insufficient, most of them will end up in two shots.

As for the men and women who can be seen through at a glance, it depends on whether you can meet someone who appreciates your number.

Alice, the director of "Happy Lazaro", is a female director born in the 80s, after seeing Ji Ming, she turned her head and looked at Andriy again - if she was asked to choose the leading role, she would still choose Andri. Although there are some similarities in temperament, Andriy has a natural "holy son" appearance, innocent, willing to suffer, never maliciously, and full of compassion.

But if she chooses something else, she might change her mind.

"The light is dazzling. ”

"Yes," Andriy nodded, "maybe that's what a star is like?"

He was selected by Alice to film when he was in high school, but he didn't make much of his debut yet - on the closing day of Cannes, "Lazaro" will be officially released, and Andri will really enter the actor's profession.

Although it was the home red carpet, Ji Ming did not stay for three minutes.

Of course, the red carpet task was still completed very successfully - he was mainly for the "best red carpet of the day" the next day, and by the way, he definitely had the name of "Immortals". There's no way, it's all for the sake of cha fan.

After entering the Debussy Hall of the Cinema Palace, the atmosphere was completely different, and the cheers on the red carpet subsided.

Quietly waiting for the movie to play.

Ji Ming adjusted his sitting posture and adjusted it again.

"Nervous?" Wen Yan's voice was a little uncertain.

“…… Of course, the premiere, can I not be nervous?"

"I thought you weren't nervous. ”

"Whew," Ji Ming took a deep breath, if it wasn't too bad for the scenery, he would have to recite "Sand Sculpture Sutra", just so that Tan Ziyang and the others would also participate in it: "You think too highly of me, my first movie, the first screening in the world, at the first international film festival, if I am not nervous, it is really a fairy who does not eat fireworks......"

Wen Yan was sure that Ji Ming was really nervous at this time.

for he began to talk a lot.

However, when the movie screen began to light up, Ji Ming suddenly stopped.

The picture begins with aerial photography, the mountain that has fallen from the immortals rises in the mist, the silver wind chimes are groaning, and the two red ribbons tied with the wind chimes are fluttering and shaking. Under the tree, a little girl sat in blue, looking out at the sea of fog churning in the distance—and then her immature Dong song sounded, and gradually lifted the clouds up.

"Falling to the Immortals"

"Where the Gods Land"

The bilingual title of the film in Chinese and English gradually appeared, and the symphonic accompaniment also sounded, and Wang Xiaohua's Dong song, the camera stopped for a while, and then rose again, as if riding this song, it instantly moved to the other end of the river, and then fell down, returning to the perspective of the feature film.

……

Li Yuan carried his duffel bag, stumbled to the small pier by the river, and looked around, there was no one and no boat.

He sat down on the bamboo board, took off his shoes, and put them into the river, swinging and swinging.

After sitting for a while, he poked his head into the water and suddenly laughed widely.

"Why didn't any fish sink?"

Hahaha.

Many Chinese audiences in the movie hall laughed softly.

The allusion of sinking fish and falling geese is unknown to foreigners.

In the picture, a flat boat came over in the distance, the sky, the clear water, the distant mountains, the boatman, the man washing his feet, Li Yuan stood on the bamboo dock, very large, even his body was driven, shaking his hands.

The boatman in the distance, with a long "come", is far faster than the water waves.

"Beautiful beginning. The reporter "Cheng Yi" in 1905 was responsible for helping the website watch films and write reviews and scores, and next to him was his colleague "Fei Fei", both of whom were stage names: "What do you think?"

In the cinema here, there is no rule of silence, in fact, most of the art films are not so forgetful to discuss, their long shots, slow narratives, dark tones, if not passed through chat, two or three hours can be difficult to pass.

Good films, not necessarily audience-friendly films – the field of art films.

Fei Fei thought for a moment: "I think the lens is very clean, the director is particularly restrained, and there is no greasy feeling like a promotional film." ”

"Is it because Ji Ming's temperament is very clean?"

"Ah, too. Fei Fei nodded: "He is the center of the composition, that's why." However, the director is indeed very restrained and bold, slowing down the pace to this extent. ”

"But it worked well. ”

Fei Fei nodded, and read on.
