After the host's order, the audience who sharpened their knives pointed their guns at Lin Hai.

"Mr. Kai, what is your purpose in doing this? Can I understand that you are deliberately torturing the audience, or are you simply trying to achieve fame in this way?"

The first question is poignant.

This is clearly an opponent, and the rhetoric is full of conspiracy theories.

Lin Hai glanced at the host, this guy is also watching the excitement, it's not a big deal.

Lin Hai misunderstood, the host wanted to choose a supporter, but the problem was that the opponent was too chicken thief, and he actually gave a thumbs up when he raised his hand...... There are so many eyes in my heart, I look like a reporter!

Lin Hai didn't let the person who asked the question wait too long.

He took the microphone and said with a smile, "What this gentleman wants to express is probably the meaning of 'grandstanding'—"

Lin Hai spoke French, but "grandstanding" was in Chinese.

He explained to the unexplained questioner: "This is a Chinese proverb (there is no idiom concept in the West), which means to cater to the masses with pompous words and deeds, and deceive the trust and support of the masses." ”

The questioner nodded subconsciously, feeling that Lin Hai's summary was more incisive than his.

Lin Hai saw that the other party was in a scheme, and spread his hands with a smile: "But look at it, I have neither your trust nor your support, so your guess is not valid." ”

Lin Hai was secretly changing concepts, but in the face of the broad and profound Chinese art, the foreigner's head was a little insufficient, so he nodded in agreement.

Wrong!

The questioner, who realized that he had fallen into the trap, immediately retorted: "But there are still many people who support you......"

"Everyone has the right to choose, doesn't they?" Lin Hai asked rhetorically, and said in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, I support you." ”

The questioner was confused, what does Lin Hai mean by this?

Poor guy, he doesn't know the ancients' "retreat as advance", nor the "desire to survive" of the future, what Lin Hai really expressed is actually - you are right, you are reasonable, you shut up!

In this way, under Lin Hai's continuous beating, the man who was going to criticize him fiercely quickly retreated.

When the questioner sat down, what he thought to himself was: This kid is very good, don't scold too hard when you go back to report......

Immediately followed by the second questioner.

The host, who eats a trench and grows wise, ignores the towering thumb forest and chooses the young man who has been embarrassed before.

It turned out to be the right choice.

"Hello Mr. Kai, my name is Jacques Martin, I am a student of the National Conservatory, and I must say, your music is amazing!"

The young man named Jacques spoke incoherently excitedly, which showed how much he admired Lin Hai.

Jacques' words caused a stir in the neutral camp.

There are many national conservatories in France, which are generally named after specific places, and when not emphasized, they generally refer to the Paris Conservatoire. To be able to get into such a top school, Jacques must have a few brushes, at least to be called a professional.

Professionals' affirmation of Lin Hai - although there are more brainless blowing components, but it still affects the judgment of most people, and the neutral camp, and even some opponents, have begun to move closer to supporters.

The limelight has quietly changed.

Despite Jacques' hard work, Lin Hai interrupted him, saying something too sensual. Lin Hai is not an old immortal of the stars, saying that he can't bear it.

Lin Hai reminded, "Do you have any questions to ask?"

"Yes, question!" Jacques reacted and asked, "I wonder which French musician you like the most?"

It's an amateurish question, but if you treat him as an ordinary patriotic youth, it's understandable.

Of course, Lin Hai wanted to satisfy the vanity of the other party, so he said: "My personal favorite French musician is Berlioz. ”

"Because he's so controversial?" Jacques asked.

"No," Lin Hai shook his head, revealing eight teeth, "because of the music." ”

Jacques was in awe and bowed deeply to Lin Hai, a scene that was captured by a reporter, and many years later, the photograph was taken by Christie's under the name "Because of Music".

……

Lin Hai pretended to be a good man, and the scene became more and more enthusiastic.

The follow-up questioners seemed to have forgotten the torture they had suffered before, and their words were full of beauty. People are such strange things, and the more they don't understand them, the more they will pretend to be profound. Hugo said that "imagination is depth", which shows that these people have a big brain.

Listening to their over-interpretation of the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, Lin Hai's cheekiness was a little overwhelmed, but looking at Takeda Shinji Tetsuqing's face, this group of stinky feet guys is still quite cute!

Shinji Takeda is going crazy.

He thought that Lin Hai would make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect the direction of the wind to change, and the ugliness became a limelight.

It was supposed to be his!

……

"It's almost time, one last chance to ask, who else has a question?"

As the host spoke, he accidentally found Chen Kaige sitting in the audience, he rubbed his eyes, made sure he was not mistaken, and immediately became excited.

The host walked quickly to Chen Kaige's side and asked, "Director Chen Kaige, do you have anything to say?"

The host's words caused a commotion, and the audience realized that Chen Kaige, who was a member of the judging team, was actually at the scene.

The reporters were even more excited, and they all aimed their cameras at Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige looked at this posture and knew that if he didn't say something, he might not want to leave.

He took the microphone, nodded to Lin Hai on the stage, and said, "Do you know how to speak Chinese?"

Chen Kaige's English is very good, but his sentence is in Chinese.

Just now when he heard the idiom with correct words from Lin Hai's mouth, Chen Kaige was sure that the other party could speak Chinese, and even suspected that the other party was Chinese, but he couldn't ask directly, in case he made a mistake, it would cause misunderstanding.

Lin Hai guessed his thoughts and said in Chinese: "Hello Director Chen, my name is Lin Hai, a native Chinese. ”

"Oh?"

Chen Kaige was a little surprised, he thought that Lin Hai was an overseas Chinese born abroad, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

Chen Kaige was happy, and then asked, "Mainlanders?"

Lin Hai joked: "I shouldn't have a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent in my mouth, right?"

"Hahaha," Chen Kaige laughed and said, "I really didn't expect to see my fellow countrymen on the stage in Cannes." You're sixteen?"

"Hmm. ”

"Sixteen, that's just high school. Chen Kaige asked again: "Your parents are engaged in music?"

"It's not. ”

"Then why did the crew ask you for a soundtrack?"

Chen Kaige became more and more puzzled, if Lin Hai's parents were not musicians, how did he get this opportunity?

"Director Chen thinks I'm a terrible deserved?" Lin Hai asked rhetorically.

"No, I think it's great. Chen Kaige said: "I don't know much about music, according to my understanding, you are in order to reflect the contradictions and conflicts between society and people, as well as the conflicts between individuals and groups, maybe with some self-examination?"

Lin Hai nodded repeatedly.

"Great idea," Chen Kaige said here, and the words changed: "But, can you choose a more peaceful way?"

Not only did he understand the intention of the soundtrack, but he also put forward another idea of soundtrack, if this is called not understanding music, professional musicians simply change their careers.

I have to say that in the world, Chinese directors are very awesome.

Chinese directors are known for their versatility, and many Chinese directors have profound comprehensive skills, such as photography, screenwriting, art, music, scene building, action design, and mastery of all kinds of martial arts. And this kind of comprehensive ability, in the West of industrial segmentation, only a few masters have.

In addition, compared with the Chinese music scene full of slots, Chinese filmmakers are also worthy of respect.

Some people may say that China's top directors, led by big directors such as Chen and Zhang, have also concocted a lot of bad movies, but as mentioned earlier, this is the only way for Chinese films, and it is the result of continuous attempts and explorations.

To put it mildly, at least they proved that some roads don't work.

In contrast, musicians are a bit less aggressive. Twenty years later, most people are still laughing at themselves behind closed doors, rock and roll still can't see the light of day, and fans are still reminiscing about the past......

It's far away, Chen Kaige is still waiting for Lin Hai's answer.

Lin Hai replied seriously: "I thought about it, but finally gave up. ”

"Why?" asked Chen Kaige.

"Because I think it's better to do it. ”

"But the audience doesn't think so, and you can see it, there are a lot of people who choose to leave the show early. ”

"That's what directors and producers have to worry about, and if it's for the box office, they can do without my soundtrack. But I'm a soundtrack, I'm a musician, and I'm only responsible for my own work. ”

"Can't balance?"

"Artists can't have both ends of the spectrum. Lin Hai said seriously: "Artists must learn to make trade-offs, and the result of pleasing both sides is that both sides are not good...... It is impossible to satisfy everyone, and the common appreciation of elegance and vulgarity is just a slogan, and it is more difficult than the elimination of classes......"

Lin Hai did not hesitate, hoping to bring influence to the other party.

In Lin Hai's view, after Chen Kaige won the Palme d'Or with "Farewell My Concubine", he was a little out of step for a long time.

On the one hand, he pursues higher artistic achievements, and on the other hand, he hopes to use his influence to promote the development of commercial films, and his ambivalence makes his achievements in both fields unsatisfactory.

He could have done better.

……

"Your argument is interesting. ”

Chen Kaige had to admit that what Lin Hai said was very reasonable, so he asked: "Then do you think the film should be more elegant or more worldly?"

"I'm guessing you're trying to ask which is more important, the award or the box office. My opinion, definitely the box office. ”

"Why?"

"Because the box office can stimulate more people to join the film industry. Only when there is a box office can someone be willing to invest, and only if there is money can someone become a director. ”

"I agree with the former, the latter," Chen Kaige shook his head and said, "Not all directors make movies for money. ”

"The problem is that these awards are given to us by foreigners. ”

Chen Kaige was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Hai said to himself: "Director Chen asked himself, how many foreigners give us awards because of the film itself, how much is out of curiosity about Chinese culture......? Ill-intentioned?"

Lin Hai said this, not in lieu of words.

In the early days of the reform, Chinese artists valued their names more than they made profits, and it was precisely because they saw through this that for a period of time, the West used the temptation of awards to guide the creation of domestic directors. As a result, many "self-blackening" films have appeared - Lin Hai does not deny that these films have practical significance, but this practice of "publicizing family ugliness" has been used by Western media with ulterior motives to become a tool to smear China.

In the 90s, many of the misleading images circulating in the West were simply excerpted from Chinese films, and most of the impressions of China's poverty and backwardness were derived from Chinese films. And the directors of these films are still complacent - look, the foreign adults also agree with my critical spirit!

The spirit of bullshit criticism is clearly bending the knee to meet you!

Thinking of this, Lin Hai was furious and said unceremoniously: "We study the West, not to make the West identify with us, but to make us recognize ourselves! In order to use our culture to influence them one day! I would like to advise Director Chen that instead of staring at the bones in the hands of foreigners, it is better to think about whether the fathers and villagers have meat to eat! That's it, farewell!"

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he left the screening hall with his head held high.
