Chapter 305: On the Beach
The reporter asked Chen Shi again: "May I ask the director, do you have any expectations for winning the award?"
Chen Shi smiled and asked rhetorically: "Of course I have expectations, what am I doing here if I don't have expectations?" But even if I don't win the award, I don't have any regrets, and being shortlisted is the biggest encouragement for me." ”
Everyone nodded frequently, and a reporter asked: "The director of this movie is two people, one is Li Yalian and the other is you, what is the relationship between you?"
Li Yalian was by Chen Shi's side, Chen Shi took her hand, raised it gently, and said ostentatiously: "She is my wife, and we are husband and wife." ”
The reporters were overjoyed, they didn't have any information about Chen Shi and Li Yalian, even if they found a little, it was a drop in the bucket, it was not worth mentioning at all, even if it was published in the newspaper, it would not cause much repercussions, now that it was okay, there was a blockbuster material coming, and they immediately hurriedly pressed the camera, and the clicking sound kept coming.
After answering a few more questions, the reporters let the two of them go, and then they surrounded the main actors and asked questions.
first asked the leading actor why Chen Shi valued him, asked Chen Shi and Li Yalian about their creative style, and asked the crew about miscellaneous things, and asked them all over and over again, even Deng Chao, who played soy sauce. Of course, the actors hope that the media will ask more questions and interview more, especially actors who are not yet famous, they need exposure and media attention, so that they can be famous, receive more scenes, negotiate better salaries, and play better roles.
The two actresses were also asked a lot of questions, and everyone was relatively satisfied, and finally they spilled.
As soon as the opening ceremony is over, they basically don't have much to do, except for the premiere of their own films, of course, they go out to play, Cannes is such a beautiful place, if you don't go out to play, it's really unreasonable, if you don't go around a few times after coming to Cannes, and when you go back, people ask you where you have been, and you can't tell why, then people will question whether you have been there.
The premiere of their film is tomorrow afternoon, so they can go to play all day today, and even tomorrow morning they have time, so they can wait for the premiere, and then they will wait for the closing ceremony of the film festival, and all the awards will be announced at the closing ceremony, and the closing ceremony is also the * of the entire film festival.
After the interview, everyone went to play, and no one came to disturb Li Yalian and Chen Shi, some of them went together, some went out alone, although there was only one translator, but none of them used a translator, generally, they went out by themselves, even if the communication remained the same, relying on a few crooked words of English and a few gestures could barely communicate a few simple words, at least, a hello is understood by everyone.
In the evening, Li Yalian and Chen Shi came to the beach, where there are many tourists, many beauties, beauties from all walks of life have sharp weapons, absolutely proud of the group, as well as slender and soft waists and elastic long legs, which can feast your eyes.
Of course, Chen Shi couldn't stare at others, because there was a jealous person around him, so he could only look at the sea.
The waves roll with white waves, wave after wave, very rhythmic, and never go away, just as the days are circulating day by day, there is never an end, and this wave is also never end.
As long as the sea does not dry up and the stones do not rot, then the waves will always wave back and forth on the surface of the sea.
When the sun sets over the sea, the waves turn golden and radiant, dazzling and beautiful.
Li Yalian came with a camera, so the two took turns to take pictures, taking pictures of the intoxicating beauty of the beach and tourists, and of course, they also kept their footprints on this beach.
The sea water under the sunset is golden, and the visitors under the sunset are also golden from a distance, especially the hair of many foreigners is golden, so it seems that here is a golden and splendid world, compared with the kind of buildings in the metropolis, it can be said that it is a world of difference, making people seem to be on the top of the clouds, and it is also as if they are in heaven and earth.
The sound of the waves is also very beautiful at this time, like a symphony of low ups and downs, sometimes rapid, sometimes soothing, sometimes continuous, if you close your eyes, forget about the tourists on the beach, consult and listen, you can hear the most wonderful sounds of nature, this is the miracle of the Creator, and it is also one of the miracles of nature that human beings cannot understand.
At this time, the sky is the most beautiful, not only blue, but also empty, there is a feeling of impulsive yearning, at this time there is no hot sun, it will not be dazzling, the most suitable for looking at the sky, if there are a few white clouds floating over occasionally, it is like a charging soldier, sometimes it will suddenly become a scene of ten thousand horses galloping, and sometimes, the white and leisurely clouds suddenly become a huge statue, if there is a person of faith, maybe this statue will be recognized as God or Buddha or the like.
As for Chen Shi, he doesn't have so many fantasies, white clouds are white clouds, even if he becomes a beauty, he will not think that it is a fairy descending to earth, because when the breeze blows gently, the white clouds will go away with the wind, leaving nothing behind, and it is not even as good as a black cloud, sometimes leaving raindrops to moisten the earth.
Of course, this is just Chen Shi's own thoughts, although he has no aesthetic vision, he will not laugh at other people's aesthetics, just like he does not understand art, and of course he will not criticize other people's works of art.
Li Yalian likes to immerse herself in the fantasy of this white cloud, she can always see different patterns from the changing white clouds, and fantasize different stories, sometimes it is an old fairy, sometimes it is a fairy, sometimes it is a galloping horse, and sometimes it is a quiet flock of sheep.
Li Yalian can even combine the sound of the waves and score her own music, and then a movie will appear in her eyes, she will explain it carefully and in detail to Chen Shi, and she is not afraid that Chen Shi will laugh at her for her fantasies.
A person's imagination is usually the most abundant when he is a child, but there are some people who have always maintained a childlike imagination, and these people will definitely make a difference in the field of art, so that there will be artists with eccentric tempers.
Most artists have a naïve side, a person who is calculating, knows how to scheming, is very smart, and knows how to weigh the pros and cons will not become a great artist, even if such a person has artistic talent, then at most he is an artistic person, not a great artist.
A truly great artist with an absolutely naïve side.
Although Li Yalian is not necessarily a great artist, and maybe she is not even an artist, she has a naïve side and the conditions to become a great artist.
It just depends on how she tries in the future.
Chen Shi can use all conditions to support her, although he may not necessarily become an artist, but Chen Shi supports her to work hard and struggle.
In a person's life, if he doesn't even give himself the opportunity to work hard and struggle, and first denies his own words, then this life is like that, that is, a member of the public, no one will remember you, even if your children will forget you all within a year after you die, and they won't even know a little bit about your preferences.
At most, I will burn some paper money for you during the New Year's holidays, but at that time, no one knows whether you will receive it.
Most people in the world have passed like this, and their lives have passed, and since they have brought nothing, of course, they have nothing to take with them when they die, as if they have never been to this world.
Chen Shi was originally such a person, but after being reborn once, he felt that he had changed, he always wanted to do something, in order to be famous?
He doesn't know what it's for, in short, he really wants to do something, so Li Yalian devotes himself to film creation, of course he has to support and do everything possible to help Li Yalian, because he believes that Li Yalian's achievements are his own achievements.
Now, Li Yalian is still young and does not have so much experience, if she creates independently, it may still be difficult, so Chen Shi co-directed this movie with her, and will spend a lot of money and price to operate this movie, in order to help her make a name for herself.
Now it is basically achieved, even if the final movie does not win the award, even if the final movie is not released, Li Yalian's name will be known by people in the industry, so there will be no fewer people looking for her to make movies in the future.
The two of them wandered the beach until dark, and did not return to the hotel until the moon rose.
After going back, the two dined at the hotel, and by the way, they asked everyone's wishes, and found that everyone hadn't eaten yet, so everyone got together to dine again.
This time, they weren't looking for Chinese food, and when they came here, of course, they followed the local customs, so Chen Shi ordered steak and let everyone sit down and taste it slowly, and then ordered red wine, and everyone raised a glass to celebrate the finalist of the movie, then to wish the movie an award, and finally to get together and have a good time, everyone toast.
While eating, Chen Shi asked Xiao Gao about tomorrow's premiere, and Xiao Gao said that it was completely done, just wait to watch the movie tomorrow.
Li Yalian was worried that the box office would not sell, for fear that no one would come to see her, so Chen Shi comforted her and reassured her.
The premiere of the film festival, this is the first time since the advent of this film to the public, what is the reputation, it also depends on the response after the premiere, if the reputation is good, there will be one more idea for publicity in the future, of course, there will be distribution companies to find them, if there is no good reputation, then even if someone comes to find it, the bid will not be too high.
