1319 Roundtable Interview
"Joel, may I ask how the photographic light is used this time, and as the story progresses, the light seems to change somewhat, but it doesn't seem to change, does this have any effect on the shaping of the story?"
"Ethan, can you talk about the live performance of the film this time? We all know that most of the tracks are sung live, so how did you capture the emotions of the actors?"
"Justin, you were involved in the production of the soundtrack this time, can you talk about the feeling of working together? Personally, I am most curious about how the adaptation of the song '500 Miles' was completed, and what kind of inspiration was referenced?"
"Rumors say that the crew is planning to hold a concert and perform the soundtrack of the movie, is this true?"
"Ethan or Joel, can any of you answer a question about sound editing and sound effects? In previous works, you were very good at using such detailed changes to create atmosphere, but this time, because of the large number of live performances, you seem to be trying to prevent the sound effects from stealing the light of the plot, right?"
"Lan Li, you worked with Alfonso Cuarón not long ago, and then with the Coen brothers, can you talk about the difference between these two collaborations?"
"Also, also, why did 'The Drunken Folk' choose a ring structure?Is the plot of the opening and ending credits exactly the same?Or is it a flashback?What is the reason for choosing such a technique?Also, what is the significance of the big yellow cat called Ulysses? Lan Li, how do you think this will affect your performance?"
……
The press conference, which was originally scheduled to end in 30 minutes, dragged on and on for 45 minutes, and the reporters still reluctantly did not want to end the interview, but ...... After all, the organizers forced the end of the press conference.
After watching the crew of "Drunken Country Folk Songs" leave the press conference hall one after another, the media reporters still stayed in place and did not leave in a hurry.
Although they know that every second counts and they must now rush to the next trip, at this moment, they want to stay and exchange ideas with their peers, about the "drunken folk ballads", about the press conference, and about the overall impression of the Cannes Film Festival.
In the midst of the surging crowd, Emily and Mark also met a group of like-minded friends, dancing and sharing their thoughts and opinions.
"Zizi", there was a vibration sound in Emily's pocket, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone, glanced at it quickly, it was actually an email reminder, and after clicking on it, Emily's pupils still widened sharply, revealing incredible ecstasy, and the breath around the whole body began to become excited.
"God!"
Emily couldn't hold back after all, and exclaimed, "I've made an appointment for Lan Li's roundtable interview!"
"What?" "Oh my God!" "Envy!" "It's really fake!" "Emily, hurry up, hurry up, my list of questions will be sent to you right away, you remember to help me ask Lan Li in person!" "Also, remember to take pictures! What kind of feeling is it to interview Lan Li up close, God, I'm already starting to get excited!"
"Wait, I've also booked a roundtable interview!" After a half-beat, Mark checked his email, got the latest news, and then jumped on the spot, celebrating the happy event feverishly.
On top of international film festivals, there are countless interview media, especially in the prosperity of the three major European film festivals, even the unknown small crew is also a hot interview subject, as long as they can enter the main competition unit, this means that the official interview will continue to come.
For example, at the Cannes Film Festival, there are more than 4,000 members of the media, and even if only 1 in 10 of the media get interviews, that's 400 interviews, and most of the crew's stay in Cannes is about three to four days, which means that they need to complete an average of 50 to 100 interviews a day, which is an impossible task.
As a result, the festival has adjusted its interview plan accordingly.
One is the roundtable interview, which is like a roundtable meeting, with a minimum of three and a maximum of 10 participants, around the roundtable, to conduct individual interviews with actors or directors, and the whole interview process lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, so as to increase the speed and rhythm of the interview as much as possible.
One is small talk interviews, fragmented time between film festivals, or small talk time at parties, to complete short random interviews, but this interview method is completely a matter of luck, some people may not find opportunities during the entire film festival, but others may be rich.
There is also a one-on-one interview, which, as the name suggests, is a one-on-one interview. But only a handful of top media outlets have access to such interviews, and the treatment and specifications are very different.
Emily and Mark have just booked a roundtable interview.
Although they also hope to be able to book an interview, it is really too difficult for the self-media, even roundtable interviews are extremely rare, and there are countless other media that cannot book any interview opportunities at all, so they can only watch from the sidelines, and they have to be optimistic and comfort themselves that being able to attend the film festival is already the best gift.
"Haha, haha. Mark didn't hold back after all, he laughed heartily, and after feeling everyone's concerned gaze, he quickly explained, "Young Master is really funny. The email specifically scheduled the interview for 3:30 p.m., because he needed to go to see a long-awaited work, a kind of 'Omar' of the Attention Unit. That's what I said in the email!"
"Poof", everyone couldn't help but laugh, such a straightforward expression is really cute. Moreover, it is even more cute that I gave up the opportunity to interview in order to watch the movie.
Emily also chuckled, "That's it, and the email also noted: If you are pressed for time and can't attend the interview, then it is recommended to interview Joel and Ethan an hour in advance, and you can also make an appointment with Carey and Justin." 'I'm sure you'll understand, by the way, did anyone watch Omar's movie together?'"
"Haha", the group laughed, clapped and laughed, and the laughter couldn't be stopped.
"Is this an email written by Lan Li himself?" someone next to him showed a look of disbelief.
Mark shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is an email written by the young master's manager, Roy. But a small number of places are quoted in quotation marks, which is obviously the original words of the young master. Laughing as he spoke, Mark's mood finally brightened up, "Roy is also a very humorous guy. I can already imagine Roy's expression complaining about the young master. ”
"Looking at this email, I now have a real feeling that Lan Li is really a young man, and he is also a young man who loves movies very much. ”
As soon as you said a word, everyone began to talk about it, sharing the Lan Li they knew.
Meanwhile, Emily and Mark exchange glances. Eventually, Emily asked, "How's that?"
"Hmm...... I still want to see 'Omar'. The young master is always full of curiosity about film festivals, and the movies he likes are bound to have merits, although a kind of attention is not as good as the main competition, but I think that if we watch this movie in advance, whether it is the same scene or not, the following interview is bound to be very interesting. Mark spoke his mind seriously.
"It would be great if we were in the same room, maybe we could talk to each other in person. Emily added, without any hesitation, and she nodded in agreement, "Well, let's get over now, or the schedule may be too late." ”
The screening schedule of one concern is relatively intensive, and the overall attention is not too obvious.
What's more, the roundtable interview at 3:30 a.m., if you are not careful, you may miss the premiere of the new film in the main competition unit tonight. But...... This is Cannes, running non-stop, feet on the ground, and running all night without stopping if necessary, 24 hours a day.
So, Emily and Mark must also hurry.
Without staying in the press center for long, the two men waved goodbye to their companions, and then braved the pouring rain and sprinted briskly in the direction of the screening hall of interest.
There was another queue - during which I also met the paparazzi who came to take pictures after getting the news, and when Lan Li appeared, the scene was chaotic, Cannes was still different from Berlin after all, and the audience who could not enter the movie focused all their attention on the stars.
Another spectacle – "Omar" is the fourth feature film by Israeli director Hany-Abu-Assad, whose 2005 film "Paradise Now" was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and was selected for the main competition of the Berlinale.
Another run - after the movie, it was a little later than expected, and they had to start running all the way to avoid missing the rest of the roundtable interview, and the whole trip was extremely rushed, like a rapid march.
Unfortunately, this time they were not able to get up close and personal with Lan Li.
Because from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie, Lan Li has always been in a state of surroundment, and can only accommodate less than 80 people in the small viewing hall, completely caught in the embarrassment of crowds and water leakage, not to mention Lan Li, even the on-site staff did not expect it at all.
In order not to miss the next event, Emily and Marc had to abandon the wonderful idea of walking with Lan Li, left the Palais de l'Émathèque early, and hurried in the direction of the majestic Hotel Barrière in Cannes.
The only thing to be lucky about is that the rain has finally stopped, the sky is clearing, and there is no need for any more rain.
