The thunderous applause has always been accompanied by the disappearance of the end credits, and many viewers are communicating with each other. Some of them even wanted to read it again, and there was a lot of it that echoed each other, and the original ones were not written down.

"Green, this movie didn't disappoint you, did it?" In the audience, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair looked at the enthusiastic applause of the audience around him, and continued: "I have already briefly talked to the people of this company about the distribution agent in Europe. ”

The white bearded man in a suit next to him agreed and said: "It is worthy of the opening film, this does have a great chance to compete for this year's Palme d'Or! Judging from the script, cinematography, soundtrack, and actors, they are almost all top-notch." You're doing the right thing!"

In addition to ordinary audiences, film critics, journalists, and film industry professionals, there is also a group of people who are also watching movies, and they are representatives of various film distributors around the world.

Channels are king, and a good movie can't appear in different cinemas in different countries out of thin air.

And that's where the issuer comes in!

Every year, there are countless films that complete distribution transactions in Cannes, not only the works that are shortlisted for the main competition, but also many films like "The Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Ancient City" are also looking for partners!

Green and Joyce were colleagues at the same distribution company, and instead of rushing down to the film's production company, they quietly plotted how to get their hands on it at the least cost.

As the opening film, "Farewell My Concubine" was the first film to be presented to the public at the entire Cannes Film Festival, and all the discussion focused on it.

Just listen to the discussion in the audience now, everyone loves it very much!

"I expected this film from China to be of good quality, but I didn't expect it to be so good. In a movie, the use of story, characters, actors, emotions, connotation, light and shadow, and editing can be done well in one aspect, and it actually does it all!"

"The nearly three-hour film is really exciting! I guess I'll have to queue up to go to the toilet later. ”

"It doesn't seem like a movie, it's a life. It turns out that in that distant country in the East, the fate of ordinary people in the historical period from the early to the late twentieth century is so miserable that every detail can be seen. It was simply a crazy time, why force people who love each other to hurt each other, and their personalities are twisted to the extreme!"

"I really like Juxian in it, she looks so beautiful. ”

"Is this lead actor male or female?

"I should have watched it again, I don't know when the next one is. ”

The audience in the screening room was buzzing and talking, and the reporters outside the screening hall and the moviegoers who did not have tickets finally heard the continuous applause.

The hearts of many Chinese journalists have finally landed, and this Chinese-language film seems destined to shine in Cannes!

"For three hours, I waited until my legs were numb. Guess how long this applause lasts?" Wu Ming, a reporter from the Beijing News, chatted with his colleagues in a relaxed tone.

Another man with a press card replied, "It must have been three minutes!"

Audiences at the Cannes Film Festival are notoriously appreciative and polite, and there is usually applause after the film is shown.

And the duration of applause becomes an alternative standard.

The longer the applause, the more exciting and engaging the movie is.

In order to count this time, Wu Ming used the stopwatch function of the mobile phone to start the time, which is really rigorous to the extreme.

"Three minutes is too short, the last Palme d'Or winner got a five-minute applause, and another film that received a nine-minute applause won the Best Director award!"

"What do you say this movie is like, I have seen Zhang Chu write it, and I feel that the time span is very large, and it is not particularly easy to shoot. ”

"After interviewing a few creators, let's see if we can win a movie ticket. There is a game at 19:30 and a game at 22:30, so don't miss this opportunity. ”

"It's a screening room with 1,000 people at a time, so it's not too lucky. ”

These reporters all have colleagues in it, because there are so many media outlets, it is impossible for all reporters from each media to enter the screening room to watch the film, so they can only be separated into different batches.

But now Wu Ming is starting to worry, "Farewell My Concubine has been applauding for more than 5 minutes now, and the word of mouth will definitely explode, and the number of people applying for movie tickets will surge at that time, and it will definitely be in short supply!"

"Don't worry about that, which Cannes film is not like this? I applied for every screening to see which one could be applied. ”

At this time, Visual China reporter Nie Xiujie pointed to the people holding signs at the entrance of the Film Palace and asked: "What are those people doing? Are they protesting or demonstrating?"

"I've seen kanji ...... a lot"

"yes, I've seen pinyin a lot, what are you doing?"

Wu Ming felt that he couldn't get any news while waiting here, so it was better to ask the person holding the sign over there.

This is a young man in a gray T-shirt, with a Nikon camera around his neck, holding a sign written by himself, with the pinyin "BA-ANG-BIE-JI" at the top, and the blunt "Farewell My Concubine FMC" at the bottom, and "tickets" in English and French in the middle.

"Hello, may I ask what this is doing?" Wu Ming asked in English, proving that he could travel to Cannes on a business trip, proving that language was not a problem.

This young man showed a bright smile after seeing Wu Ming's Asian appearance: "I really want a movie ticket for Farewell My Concubine." Tickets for the premiere cannot be booked, and there is no way for the audience to be booked. So I wanted to try my luck and see if anyone was in a hurry and couldn't go to the movies. ”

So that's it!

Wu Ming suddenly realized: "So among so many of you, has any of you got a ticket?"

"Not yet. I'm going to wait until the last one of the night, and try to sneak in if I can. ”

There are a lot of people holding signs like this, and many of them don't even bother to write Farewell My Concubine, and directly write the name of director Xu Ji on it, "XU-JI", and Wu Ming also saw that there was "ZHANG-CHU".

The spectacular ticket-seeking scene continues to grow, and the thunderous applause further raises the expectations of these movie lovers!
