On the first weekend of May, the Festival de Cannes will officially kick off, bringing together thousands of filmmakers and fans from all over the world. Fastest updates

With the change of the film selection system in recent years, coupled with the fact that filmmakers from the third world have begun to enter the eyeballs, the Cannes Film Festival has become more and more popular, and Cannes is the leader of the three major European film festivals.

The Cannes Film Festival is an irresistible temptation for 90 percent of the world's filmmakers.

Of course, if you're a big guy like Woody Allen, you can wait for Cannes to "look at the thatched house" in a reserved manner, and then talk about the silent conditions.

Is Wu Hyojo Woody Allen?

Apparently he wasn't enough...... open!

Old man Woody told the younger generation of filmmakers with his life that if you want to maintain a strong creative rhythm and release new works every year, then you must have more lovers...... Even the deed girl.

Countless artistic predecessors have proved that in the field of art, the muse is an infinite source of creative inspiration. The collision of film directors and actresses is the responsibility and obligation given by society.

……

At Nice Airport, Wu Xiaozu stepped off the plane, and Jiang Zhiqiang had already arranged a car to take them to Cannes, 20 kilometers away.

The Mediterranean breeze blows gently, and the temperature in Cannes in May is between 13° and 22°, making the climate pleasant.

On the road, there are countless vehicles. There are even many backpackers with huge sleeping bags on their backs, making a pilgrimage to Cannes step by step.

"During the festival, there were too many tourists... Every year I feel like I've come to the Kowloon Walled City. In the station wagon, Jiang Ershao crossed Erlang's legs, knocked melon seeds, and glanced at all kinds of tourists fluttering in the wind.

Hou Xiaoran, a black-faced forty-year-old man, poked Yang Dezhuan, who was squinting and desolate next to him, and Mr. Wu, a handsome man, asked uncertainly: "If I heard correctly, is he showing off how many times he comes?"

"It could be to show that we have a car. Wu Xiaozu thought about it and replied.

From another point of view, perhaps he is envious of the other party's huge backpack, but he doesn't have an inferiority complex that makes his psychology fluctuate unbalanced, so he uses a reason to vent aimlessly. Subjectively, this is in line with the psychological demands of human beings, and objectively ......"

Yang De held up his glasses: "Objectively speaking, he may be empty in his heart, a kind of material show-off." ”

"So should we cooperate?" asked Hou Xiaoyuan, who was silent for a while.

"Who booked the two of you hotel rooms?" Wu Xiaozu smiled and picked his nails.

The black-faced forty-year-old man and the elegant and desolate middle-aged uncle glanced at each other, all speechless.

"Boss Jiang, these tourists are spiritually empty!" Mr. Hou said.

Yang Dezhuan took a deep breath: "From such an observation angle, you have a bit of a mentality of watching two or three things coldly. ”

Listening to the two people who were mixed together behind him...... Three of them hit the street, Jiang Zhiqiang's face was extremely dark.

There was no direct flight to Nice, so Yang asked Hou Xiaoyuan to go to Hong Kong to attend the Cannes Film Festival. Coming to Hong Kong Island, how could two poor ghosts not fall in love with Wu Xiaozu, a little rich man.

Therefore, it was only natural that the three of them would come to Cannes together.

Wu Xiaozu was selected for the non-competition unit "A Kind of Attention", of course, the biggest wish of this time is to promote "Two Heroes" and "Fear Fighting Room" by the way.

Although the European market is not large, the buyout amount is considerable, especially in France, Italy, and the Netherlands, and Hong Kong films led by kung fu films still have a certain market share, especially in Chinatowns around the country.

"True Colors of Heroes" got off to a good start. For the first time, the Western market has seen "shootout films" other than kung fu movies.

At this point in time, Hong Kong Island's action movies belong to "high-end technology and concepts" in the film action industry, and the ghosts are only jaw-dropping when they watch it.

In later generations, after "The Matrix", the action directors represented by the Yuan family class and the family class entered Hollywood, which brought a wonderful and new action concept to Hollywood.

The reason why "The True Color of Heroes" is a cross-era classic is not only because of its box office in Asia, but more importantly, the violent aesthetics it shows allow ghosts to appreciate the oriental aesthetics in addition to kung fu movies for the first time.

In the 80s, Wu Yusen was indeed wearing a pig's foot halo. The aesthetics of violence that he unconsciously developed had a profound impact on the film industry.

Later, Takeshi Kitano, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Takashi Miike, and the Wachowski sisters were also affected by this.

Of course, in this life, Wu Xiaozu's rendering of violent aesthetics in "The Birth of a Word" is richer and more wonderful than Wu Baige.

The bridge section of the dead reincarnation on the bridge, the oil painting-like picture shaping, the processing of light, color, rotating camera and the use of slow motion, combined together, are enough to be used as a textbook violent aesthetic lens.

The most intuitive effect of this is the gradual expansion of the West's acceptance of Hong Kong films. and is no longer limited to kung fu movies.

After that, Wu Yusen, Cheng Long, Hong Jin, and Lin Lingdong all exported a lot of Hong Kong Island action movies, hero films, and gunfight movies. In later generations, the French director Luc Besson, who is most well-known to many people, has a bit of Hong Kong films in his action movie style.

"Two Heroes" and "Fear Fighting Room" brought to Cannes, but it can't be exported to domestic sales, if there is really a filmmaker who can look at it, it is the best thing for Wu Xiaozu and even Xinyicheng.

Even if no one cares, there is not much to lose.

Wu Xiaozu will never be so idiotic as to simply participate in the film festival just for "a special attention".

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yang Dechan and Hou Xiaoyuan.

Belch......

Well, there are always people who have poetry and distance in their hearts.

Of course, even Yang Dezhuan and Hou Xiaoyuan did not come to Cannes for nothing.

Yang De's purpose Wu Xiaozu doesn't know, but Hou Xiaoyuan is to promote his new director's version of "Love Red Dust".

Although you can't participate in Cannes, you can prepare for other awards.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, counting the company's translators and assistants, a group of six or seven people checked into a four-star hotel not far from the Festival Palace. The arrival of the Cannes Film Festival has brought the entire Cannes hotel industry into the hottest time of the year.

The hotel is not far from the seaside boulevard, you can see the sea from the window, and you can walk to the Festival Palace in seven or eight minutes. Most of the people staying in the hotel are filmmakers from all over the world.

Of course, many of Hollywood's big directors and big stars won't stay here.

It's too noisy!

Many Hollywood stars will live on small islands not far away, or sea view villas, presidential suites, in short, they can spend money casually.

In front of the hotel, countless backpackers walked up to the hotel residents who stopped their cars to sell and pester.

"Excuse me, sir, would you mind leaving me an empty bunk?"

"All I need is a bed, I'm yours tonight!"

"Handsome, maybe we can have a fantastic evening together tonight, if you will. ”

Exotic girls keep coming forward to sell themselves, just to be able to live on the side of the road. During the two weeks of the Cannes Film Festival, the park loungers become a place of luxury.

"Gollum"

Jiang Zhiqiang reluctantly withdrew his green eyes, swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva, glanced at Yang Dezhuan and Hou Xiaoran, who were honestly following him, and shook his head slightly at Wu Xiaozu: "I regret booking a hotel for them." You say......"

Yang Dechant smiled dryly with crooked eyes, and Hou Xiaoran pulled the suitcase tightly.

Wu Xiaozu turned his head, one by one concave and convex big ocean horses, which is indeed lovely. Although the smell of inferior perfume is a bit choking, with Yanmar, who cares about a little taste.

"I think you can give it a try......"

"I think so too, the quality of these Yanmars is much better than that of Lan Street, and it's cheaper!"

Jiang Ershao couldn't help but say, wiped a handful of oil heads, took out a hotel door key with his fingers, and turned slightly: "These girls are all pilgrims of dreams." I feel the need for them to cleanse my darkening mind!"

In addition to him, many men in the hotel have turned the keys.

This scene is like the entrance to the art, teacher's and nursing colleges, with drink bottles placed in front of a row of luxury cars.

Wu Xiaozu is too familiar with this scene.

It's not that girls are more open after a few decades, but that after a few decades, the cost of a one-night stand is cheaper.

Hou Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the elevator with his suitcase.

Just when Wu Xiaozu also wanted to communicate with the European people about technology and friendship with his heart, Yang Dezhuan said with a serious face: "Azu, I have something I want to talk to you about?"

Wu Xiaozu's hand in his pants touched the key ring, his eyes looked at Yang Dezhuan's solemn and serious expression, and Yu Guang glanced at the cold gaze of each other in the corner. He loved that gaze.

"Very important?" Wu Xiaozu asked unwillingly.

"It's about life and death, it's about the future. Yang De's voice was sonorous and powerful.

“…… (_)……”

Wu Xiaozu lowered his head and took a deep breath, it seemed that he didn't have a chance to have a long time with the European people this time, raised his head, showed a poetic smile, and looked directly at Yang Dezhuan, "Okay, it just so happens that I have time." ”

"Well, I know. Yang Dezhuan responded to Wu Xiaozu's words with scalpel-like thinking.

The two walked in together and walked towards the elevator.

In a trance, Wu Xiaozu felt that his key seemed to be ...... I'm talking about what seems to have fallen to the ground!

Wu Xiaozu didn't see or see at all!

At this time, no one will rush out and shout: Sir, your Yida, right?

When Wu Xiaozu stepped into the elevator, this incident did not appear.

Of course, there will be no woman who came over to learn from Wang Zu, who sent the plane yesterday, and said to Wu Xiaozu: Little brother, little brother, I have something to give you.

"What to send?"

"I'll give myself to you!" this kind of king-style middle two girl drama.

"Ding"

The elevator stopped, and Wu Xiaozu walked into their room with Yang Dezhuan and Hou Xiaoyuan.

The fat cleaning old aunt who was cleaning in the corridor smiled politely at the three men, looking like she knew it well.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, another elevator also went up to the same floor
