Chapter 940: Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony of Cannes begins!
Naturally, it was Luc Belle, the president of the jury, who gave the speech!
"It's a great honour to be here today to bring together film talent from all over the world, and we're here to showcase the art of cinemaγγγγγγγγγγ β
Having said a lot of words, it undoubtedly shows that Cannes is now the center of world art cinema, and it is the supreme temple of art cinema!
Of course, he wasn't wrong, it was!
If Hollywood is the business center of the world, then Cannes represents the pinnacle of art cinema!
And Cannes is also good at flexibility, unlike the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival next door, which have been crumbling by commercial films!
Cannes is very smart to work with Hollywood, and is good at cultivating descendants, so although it is still tied with the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival, it has already surpassed them!
That's why so many filmmakers are still flocking to Cannes, because it's really influential!
There are a lot of good movies this year!
Japanese director Honda's new work "Fengyun" is simply not to the appetite of those judges, this is a black and white silent film, which has evoked the memories of many people!
And the heroes and heroines in this are very crisp, and generally this kind of crisp movies can attract the attention of the judges, because this is "sacrifice for art"!
This is also why so many actresses still became famous in the end!
If they want to break through their past limitations, they must get rid of it, and if they don't take it off, they can't be recognized!
In addition to Chen Xuanli, the Chinese director also came over, and Jia Dingjia Island also came!
Jia Ding, born on May 24, 1970 in Fenyang City, Shanxi Province, is a director, screenwriter and producer in Chinese mainland, and graduated from the Literature Department of Yenching Film Academy.
He is not strictly a descendant of Cannes!
In 1997, he directed his feature film debut "Little Life", which won the Youth Forum Grand Prize at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival and the New Wave Award at the 3rd Busan International Film Festival.
In 2000, he directed the feature film "Platform" and won the Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award at the 57th Venice International Film Festival.
In 2006, the feature film "Good People" directed by him won the Golden Lion Award at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival.
He had barely been in contact with Cannes before!
If there is!
In 2007, he was awarded the title of "Young Global Leader" by the Davos Economic Forum.
In 2008, he was awarded the rank of Officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de l'Ordre des Lettres de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Clermoir de l
Maybe it was also official, at that time, he got in touch with the French literary circle!
Anyway, this is Jardin's first appearance in Cannes, and his work is naturally attracting attention!
His work is called "The Old Man", and the heroine is still his wife as expected!
This is still a realistic theme, and Jardine is indeed one of the few directors in China who still adheres to realistic themes!
The narrative structure of "The Old Man" chooses three time points in 1989, 2004, and 2015 to tell the story of the protagonists Zhang, Shen and others, either because of their feelings or for life, from getting together to finally parting.
The film takes the clutch of the characters as the main line, and in the film, the scenes of "parting" can be seen everywhere, whether it is friends fighting for their lovers, divorce between husband and wife, or the sudden death of an elderly father due to illness and the departure of his own flesh and blood, the joys and sorrows of the little people are gradually amplified, which then resonates with the audience. β
Everyone can only walk with you for a while", this line printed on the promotional poster of the movie "The Old Man" condenses all the abrupt reunions and partings in the film and shows them in front of the audience. The emotions in the film are touching, and many moviegoers begin to reflect on their relationship with their parents and family: "The closer the relationship, the easier it is for people to hurt each other, such as parents and lovers"; Everyone has to have a key to go home. In addition to focusing on the stories of the little people, the depiction of the life conditions of these three points in time also implies the contrast, imagination and thinking of the past, the present and the future.
Looking at the whole story, it is not difficult to see the director's intentions, although a heartfelt work does not have too many waves, but the grasp of details and character portrayal are just right.
The last scene of Shen dancing in the film is touching, echoing the beginning and end of the disco, expressing a feeling that the peach blossoms are still there and things are not people.
The performances of the actors in the film are as decent as the development of the plot, but the mother-son love staged by Zhang and Dong, who played guest roles, is impressive and quite amazing, and Jardine still continues to make cameo appearances in his own films.
From the gangsters, miners, and archaeologists to the coal mine boss board in the previous part, the changes in the cameo are also a reflection of their own growth.
In the case of the overall prosperity of the Chinese film market, literary and artistic films are still a gloomy and cold under the boom, and the works are either applauded or not; or they bloom inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall, or they directly sink into the sea, and the literary and artistic films as a whole are in a weak position in the market, and they are always weak in the face of the broad market. The successful breakthrough of "The Old Man" is due to the director's heart, which accurately captures the emotional changes of people's reunion and parting, and shows it in a strong literary and artistic expression, which is used as the selling point of the film and clearly spreads the selling point through word of mouth!
γγγγγγγγγγ
Although Xu Qian can't stand watching this movie, he can also see that the director shot it with heart!
And China needs such a movie, not blindly commercial, and of course, not blindly literary and artistic words!
Europe is the best example, blindly literary and artistic, defeated by Hollywood!
It should be based on business, supplemented by literature and art, this is the right way!
Jia Ding's movie can't stand it, but Chen Xuanli's "The King" makes Xu Qian fascinated!
is worthy of being a movie of a big director, you know the level as soon as you make a shot, and no matter how bad a movie of a big director is, it is not much worse!
The premiere of "The King" stunned foreigners, not only with elegant martial arts figures, but also with realistic fight scenes simulated by computers, coupled with the light skills of the heroines in the play, which made foreign audiences stunned.
Xu Qian couldn't help but sigh: "Master Chen's attainments in photography and pictures are the pinnacle!"
Master Chen was born as a photographer, if he hadn't become a director later, he would have been the first photographer in China!
Its attainments on the picture can be described as terrifying, and the tricks are simply picturesque, and it can be said that every frame is a work of art, unique and evocative!
"This is the master!"
Xu Qian sighed!
The master is also a master in decline, and that level is far from being comparable to today's young people!
The mediocre work of a master is the pursuit of someone else's life!
What's more, this "King" is Master Chen's work that wants "the return of the king", which represents his ambition, how can it not be exciting!
However, Xu Qian is also a little worried about Master Chen's work!
Because Chen Xuanli has a very bad relationship with Luc Belle, the chairman of the Cannes jury, it can even be described as poor, it is said that he was almost rejected by Cannes!
has a bad relationship with the chairman of the judges, but it is conceivable that "The King" is struggling in Cannes, perhaps it is the ending of nothing!
And at this time, "The Departed" was also released!
