Lin Hai didn't know at this time that his Chinese fellow Chen Kaige was sitting in the theater at this time.

Chen Kaige is very busy as a member of the jury, and he is not interested in running to watch an experimental film that has not even entered the competition unit, and the reason why he is sitting here is because of the man next to him.

The man next to Chen Kaige is named Jing Seki, a Japanese producer.

Although Japanese, he has a strong Chinese sensibility, and he has been seeking to work with a truly top Chinese director after working with Chinese-American director Wang Ying in the comedy film "Smoke" in 1995.

Last year (1997), Wang Ying directed the love movie "China Box" starring Gong Li and Zhang Manyu, during which Wang Ying introduced Jing Guanyu to Gong Li, and Gong Li introduced him to Chen Kaige.

The two hit it off and decided to work on a new movie together.

To be honest, with Chen Kaige's fame, as long as he speaks, the collaborators will grab a lot of them, but who let Jing Guan Yu be the first to post it?

Chen Kaige is a director with an international perspective. After becoming an instant hit with "Farewell My Concubine", he came into contact with many foreign filmmakers, and knew that it was not advisable to work behind closed doors, and he also found a lot of ways, one of which was to borrow chickens to lay eggs.

Film is a money-burning thing, and it is of course good to be able to achieve a balance between business and art, but for the current Chinese films, it is urgent to make up for it. For Chinese films to catch up with foreign countries, more experiments are needed, and these experiments are indispensable, but no one can say whether they can be converted into real money.

In that case, why not let foreigners help you make up for your tuition?

……

It is understandable that Jing Seki came to support "Tokyo Eye", and the reason why Chen Kaige was brought here was to borrow Chen's name and make friends with Kitano Wupan.

Yes, although he is Japanese, his connections in the Japanese film industry are very limited - if Lao Chen knew his true situation, he probably would not have any expectations for the new film to be released in Japan.

Iseki didn't expect Takeshi Kitano to be "urged" back to Japan by a song by Lin Hai, and he was disappointed and couldn't leave directly, so he could only wait patiently for the movie to be released.

He thought to himself.

Although the plan to climb along the pole has failed, if Japanese actors can be stuffed into Chen Kaige's crew, it is estimated that they can also gain some attention in Japan, whether it is for him personally or for the movie itself.

Thinking like this, Jing Guanyu suddenly became serious.

When he fooled Chen Kaige, he made a package ticket, saying that the movie would be released in Japan after it was filmed, and if the pigeon was finally released, with Chen Kaige's current influence, he might not have a good time in the future.

Jing Seki looked at the booklet printed by the crew, looking for a breakthrough.

Shinji Takeda?Yoshikawa Hina?

Look at the male and female leads, the former has debuted for a long time, but has not made any achievements in the field of performance, and is a vase idol, and the latter seems to have just won a domestic award, but ...... Chen Kaige is preparing to shoot a costume film, and Yoshikawa Hina's mixed-race appearance is too dramatic......

Huh?Hayashi-Kai?

……

Chen Kaige was also reading the brochure.

Cannes films are the most commercial of the three major film festivals, and most of the films that come to participate in the exhibition are not for awards, but to find a good buyer.

To this end, the producer will print some brochures to introduce the selling points, so that buyers can have a more comprehensive understanding of the film.

"Tokyo Eye" has a lot of pages, but it is not for the sake of selling films, but for selling equipment.

This is also the main reason why it attracts many industry insiders.

As mentioned earlier, this film uses digital cinema technology. The camera used to shoot the film is a new product that Hitachi is developing.

This camera has not yet been marketed, and many practitioners, especially directors who are shy in their pockets, are very concerned about its picture quality performance.

Judging from the brochure, this kind of camera does not use tape as a storage medium like the DV in the past, but directly uses an 8 cm DVD burning disc, and the shooting cost is greatly reduced, if its picture quality performance can be satisfactory, the prospect is still worth looking forward to.

There weren't many technical details on paper, Chen Kaige skipped it directly, looked through the profiles of the crew members, and was surprised to find that the person behind the director was not the leading actor, but the soundtrack.

Original soundtrack, Hayashi-Kai.

“…… A genius boy at the age of 16...... It only took one day to complete the soundtrack for the entire film......"

Chen Kaige was a little curious about the teenager in the introduction, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. This "advertising book" is obviously from the hands of the Japanese, full of all kinds of boasting, and seeing so many "innovations, innovations, and great progress" in the front, when you look at the "genius" at this time, you are already immune.

It has been said that the "superstar" in the mouth of the British and the "extreme beauty" in the mouth of the Japanese are the most untrustworthy, and water injection has become their instinct...... Hawkers, who makes everyone an island country?

……

The lights go out and the screen comes on.

Chen Kaige sat up straight, focusing on the screen.

Even if it is a low-budget work, he still looks at it with a learning attitude, but after only a few shots, his brows furrowed.

The shaking of the lens is very obvious, not the artistic shaking of Wong Kar-wai, but the tremor caused by the hardware.

Although the film has just begun, Chen Kaige has already sentenced it to death, no matter how this "advertising film" is filmed, the product performance is not up to standard, naturally no one will buy it.

I have to say that Chen Kaige is very discerning, Hitachi officially launched the product in 2000, almost disappeared without even splashing, the problem lies in the shock and image quality, until the emergence of micro-hard disk, flash memory and other technologies, digital video cameras are gradually accepted by professionals.

……

Chen Kaige's attention quickly turned to the soundtrack.

Or rather, the whole audience was kidnapped by the soundtrack.

At first glance, it's hard to hear, if you listen closely, it's even harder, don't want to listen? Impossible.

Unless you exit.

Only five minutes into the film, dozens of people have already chosen to leave, and there is a burst of boos before leaving, which mixes with the weird and twisted music, giving people an even harsher feeling.

Fortunately, more people stayed, not because they liked it, but because they wanted to hear "what is so hard to hear".

As it turned out, Lin Hai had done his best in challenging the audience's endurance, and more and more people chose to leave the stage because they couldn't stand the twisted and treacherous music, and twenty minutes after the film was released, less than half of the people in the hall were already in the hall.

"What kind of shit is this!"

Shinji Takeda scolded, his desire to raise his popularity through the trip to Cannes was completely shattered, and if it weren't for the influence of scruples, he would have wanted to quit.

Takeda didn't deliberately lower his voice, he deliberately said it to the people around him, especially Lin Hai, who was sitting in the back row.

Lin Hai felt Xiaomei's concerned gaze from Oshima, patted her hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. ”

The boos at Cannes don't mean much, as one of the three major film festivals has a strong commercial flavor, the human touch here has always been very light, and the audience will let out bursts of boos whenever they are slightly dissatisfied. There are many films that have been angrily scolded by the audience, but they have become classics, the most famous is "Pulp Fiction", which won the Palme d'Or in the scolding.

Lin Hai didn't dare to say that his soundtrack could become a classic, but as long as people who knew it, they wouldn't treat it as shit.

To be honest, the fact that more than a hundred people could be left at the scene has greatly exceeded his and Xavier's expectations.

"It seems that the level of this audience is not low. Xavier on the other side smiled: "It is not ruled out that they plan to wait until the end of the film before scolding the street." How's it going, are you ready?"

"You should worry about them," Lin Hai said, "I'm not one to scold back." ”

Shinji Takeda in the front row pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, and couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking to himself I want to see how you can deal with it, it's best to be sprayed directly as autistic, that's how happy!

……

Ninety minutes later, the feature film ended, and the cast began to play on the screen.

Usually at this time, the audience will say something, but at this moment, there is neither applause nor boos in the screening room, and they are all staring at the rolling list of people.

Not everyone has a booklet in their hands, so until now, there are many people who don't know who the soundtrack is.

It is estimated that the film projectionist also thinks the same way, so it was not until Lin Hai's name appeared that the lights in the screening hall came on.

The sudden onset of lights caused a commotion.

Immediately after, applause and boos erupted without warning.

If you think of Lin Hai's music as a cult movie, it is probably easier to understand the current polarization situation, the madness that likes is fascinated by it, and the hated ones are eager to kick it to the ground and run over it a few more times.

Lin Hai turned to Xavier and said with a smile: "So we count it a success or a failure?"

"It's you, not us. Xavier continued to shake the pot, jokingly: "It depends on who on both sides can't hold on first." ”

The applause lasted for five minutes, and the boos lasted for five minutes, and the two sides were so competitive that neither of them would stop first.

But in the end, the applause prevailed, and the clapping was easier after all.

Sensing that the boos were abating, a young man raised his arms excitedly and shouted, but his feet went limp, and he sat down, and those who noticed this scene immediately burst into laughter.

The laughter instantly swept away the-for-tat atmosphere, and the young man who caused all this was still explaining to his friend next to him: "Well, my head is a little dizzy, I don't feel like my body is my own......"

This is not his feeling alone, most of the audience who insist on "listening" to the whole movie are dizzy and their legs are weak, and it feels like playing 3,600 Thomas spins in one go.

……

Amid laughter, the main creators began to take the stage, ready to face the storm.

Of course, Lin Hai, the culprit, couldn't run, he was personally escorted to the stage by director Rimotson, and the Frenchman took a small step back after taking the stage, putting on a posture of rushing to Lin Hai with a rain of bullets.

It's true that the audience doesn't plan to ask questions to the director.

This film is not bad to be honest, but the shortcomings are more obvious - the director uses a lot of first-person perspective in order to reflect the theme, but because of the shock, it gives people more negative feelings than positives;

In this way, Lin Hai's soundtrack is the only shining point in the film, even if it is so distorted, it is unreasonable.
