"Is this Toronto?"

It's the funniest joke Emily has heard since the opening of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

She wasn't the only one who agreed, and the impatient and frustrated atmosphere was eased a little by the laughter of a large group of reporters around her, but after the laughter, the middle-aged man with a white press card did not pause, and went straight into the movie palace, hoping to occupy a seat first.

At this time, Emily realized that the holder of the white press card did not need to arrive in advance at all, but the other party still arrived at the Palais before the red carpet began. This action itself shows that he has also been mentally prepared for today's grand occasion, and judging from the situation on the scene, he has made a correct decision.

The red carpet has finally begun.

Emily followed the team slowly, her eyes looked at the scorching golden spotlight from time to time, one after another top big names appeared on the stage, it was really dizzying, from the initial excitement to the final numbness, her mood gradually calmed down, restlessly watching the progress of the team, never seeing any signs of shortening.

Suddenly, the red carpet began to stir, like a jet plane flying low, and the humming murmur continued to roll and stir over the eardrums, brewing, brewing, brewing, and then exploding, screams and roars slanting down like mercury, and the rolling waves instantly flooded the audience, leaving not even the slightest time to react.

Justin Timberlake?

Emily turned her head, but the next second she denied her guess, and her vision could clearly capture the distorted trajectory of the heat wave, all the faces, all the expressions, all the shouts, all the roars all escaped into a hazy chaos, and all the red left in the sky was the red, the flamboyant and crazy red, devouring everything around her.

"Blue Rite Hall".

That was the only thought in Emily's mind, and she really couldn't imagine anyone else enjoying such a unique treatment other than Lan Li, not even Leonardo.

Emily couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes, making her way through the crowd and railings, looking for Lan Li on the red carpet. Strictly speaking, she is not a fan of Lan Li, but at this time, she is still inevitably curious, what kind of young man is she who has set off a "Lan Li storm" in the past few years?

But it's not an easy task.

The crowd on the red carpet was surging, Steven Spielberg, Ryan Gosling, Nicole Kidman, Carey Mulligan, Emma Watson and others were all still on the red carpet, or being interviewed, or taking pictures, or interacting with fans, and they never left in a hurry.

In addition, there are many behind-the-scenes production crews, marketing or promotion personnel, special guests invited by sponsors, and security guards responsible for maintaining order, all of whom are bustling on the red carpet, with at least 30 people gathered in a cramped space.

In the midst of the crowd, it is not easy to find a specific object, even if it is a "radiant" Lan Li.

Subconsciously, Emily moved her gaze slightly, she didn't realize it herself, but her erratic gaze slowly and quietly shifted to a corner, and then, she saw Lan Li.

The Blue Rite is close at hand.

Emily was really startled, and an exclamation popped out, "Ahhhhhhhhhh

This shout was still extremely abrupt in the noisy and noisy noise, and the eyes of the surrounding crowd were all projected in unison, including Lan Li.

In an instant, Emily became the center of attention, and she quickly covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and expressed her apology with her eyes. Because she realized at this time that there were only two railings between Lan Li and her, but he didn't come here for her, but for the small group of fans gathered in front of her-

Lan Li was communicating cordially with the fans just now.

After a long, long time, Emily carefully recalled, the existence of Lan Li is like a light source, slowly, slowly attracting the attention to the past, not publicity, not dazzling, not exciting, but no one can ignore it, but obviously, Emily was not mentally prepared enough, and suddenly saw Lan Li close at hand crashing into her sight, and blurted out an exclamation.

"I'm sorry. Emily lowered her palm, her whole face wrinkled, and she apologized.

Emily could feel Lan Li's gaze fall on her. She was very short, standing in the crowd, almost submerged in the big and tall of the West, looking pitifully squeezed into the gap, but at this moment, the other reporters around her gave way to the space, and the flow of air became smoother.

"Hopefully my presence is not a scare. Lan Li said with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a deep voice.

The reporters around him let out a low laugh.

"No, no, no, of course not. Emily shook her head repeatedly, emphasizing her attitude repeatedly, "I just...... I'm just ......" Emily found that she couldn't tell the truth, or it would be rude, and the topic of conversation became, "I'm just too tired." You know, welcome to Cannes. ”

Emily struggled to maintain a relaxed tone.

"But that's the charm of the festival, isn't it?" Lan Li cast his gaze at the audience next to him, his eyes brightened slightly, as if he was seeking a sense of identity, "I've watched a few movies in the past few days, which is very interesting, but for now, what I'm looking forward to the most is 'Venus in Fur', which will be released tomorrow." ”

"And what about your favorite?" Emily blurted out subconsciously, she didn't expect Lan Li to answer, but she didn't expect that she really got an answer.

"'Frutville Station'. Lan Li didn't hesitate and blurted out, "The words of the main competition unit, 'Adele's life'." ”

"Do you think so too, so do I!" Emily's eyes lit up and shimmered, "I was still in the Palais des Movies yesterday arguing with a reporter over 'Adele's Life', which he thought was a work of innocent moaning, without any meaning or depth. God, I can't believe it!"

"American reporter?" Lan Li asked lightly.

Emily didn't answer, but her wide-mouthed expression was enough to tell: Lan Li guessed correctly.

Lan Li chuckled, "American journalists can't appreciate the delicacy and profundity of understanding 'Adele's life', and on the whole, it reflects the confusion and myths of the European middle class, not the United States." Of course, the situation at 'Frutville Station' is the opposite, and European journalists are bound to think that the level of discussion is still too shallow, and there is no aftertaste and no reflection. ”

"Hey, Lanley, don't slander like that, okay? I personally like 'Frutville Station' very, very much. ”

"Wait, I really don't think 'Adele's Life' is particularly good. ”

"What? What do you say?

All the reporters around them couldn't wait to start expressing their opinions, and the scrambling and heated discussion seemed to be eager to roll up their sleeves, and a debate started on the spot, and the voices of Emily and Lan Li were no longer special, just two opinions in countless voices.

Lan Li could sense Emily's gaze and smiled, "This is my favorite moment." ”

After watching the movie seriously, after digestion and precipitation, condense your own opinions, and then argue for the movie you like, not a personal attack, but for the sake of your beloved and stick to your position, trying to persuade the other party, not to make the other party like the movie you love, but to let the other party agree with their own aesthetics and opinions on the movie.

This is undoubtedly the most wonderful moment of the festival. From Sundance to Telluride, from Toronto to Berlin, always.

Before Emily could speak, she saw Lan Li raise her eyebrows and gesture ahead, "Hey, although I hate to interrupt you, the team has already moved forward, continue to stay here, are you sure it's okay?"

The pink reporters who were queuing quickly turned their heads, only to notice that the line had moved forward in strides for about twenty meters, and they were still oblivious to staying where they were, so they swarmed, and everyone took steps and quickly shortened the distance.

Emily was among them.

After her footsteps stopped, Emily tried to find Lan Li's figure again, but she only saw a back. She couldn't help but smile widely, "That was also my favorite moment." ”

Emily suddenly understood why Berlin and Sundance were so fond of Blue Rites, and at the beginning of this year, Blue Rites unfortunately missed both film festivals, but it did not affect his popularity in both cities, and the topic of Blue Rites could be heard in various movie theaters and occasions. And so on.

"Ahhh

"Ahhh

Emily's thoughts were interrupted by frenzied screams, and the crowd was already in an unbelievable craze, trembling precariously on the verge of losing control, and the red of the blockbuster was almost suffocating, but it was also tempting to be a part of them.

However, Emily eventually followed the group and entered the Palais de l'Cinema, walking in the direction of Lumière Hall. The enthusiasm for "Drunken Country Ballads" is now heating up little by little, and her emotions have begun to get excited, what kind of work will this be?

On the red carpet, the craze has just begun.

All the audience in the sight were shouting frantically, the twisted and hideous faces rushed to their faces, venting their emotions with teeth and claws, waiting for seven days, suppressing for seven days, and enduring for seven days, and now at this moment, they can finally be completely released and welcome the arrival of Lan Li with the highest treatment.
