The girl was deceived by a neighbor and then imprisoned in a small room for seven years. During this time, she was raped and gave birth to a son. Then, through the efforts of himself and his son, he finally escaped.

To be honest, if these lines of text appeared in the news media, it is estimated that it will cause a wide range of heated discussions in society. There will be a big discussion between experts, public knowledge, and ordinary people from the perspectives of sociology, psychology, political science, and so on. He expressed sympathy for the mother and child who were victimized, and demanded severe punishment for the perpetrators.

Then after a week or more than ten days, the heat of this news slowly passed. People have new questions, new discussions.

Perhaps, in a certain year and month, a student who is about to graduate will dig up this news again, and then use it as a case study and write it in his graduation thesis; perhaps, without this student, it will slowly drown in the long river of history.

Fortunately, there is a writer who has written it down, so that it can be recognized, circulated and remembered in a wider field.

But in this era, the influence of words is slowly fading. Moreover, the language barrier also hinders its diffusion. At this time, only when the expression is more vivid and the image has a broader influence can it continue to spread.

"That's why I bought the rights to the adaptation from Emma Donohue in the first place and made it into a movie. ”

Mu Ming stood on the stage, looked at the full theater below, and said loudly: "Using images to inherit emotions and memories, I think this is the value of our filmmakers' existence." Thank you!"

The audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

As an entry in the main competition unit, the entry itself will attract the attention of many people. Today, there are advertisements for this film in both Cannes house books, and the original book of "Room" is not low in Europe, so there are still quite a lot of viewers who come to watch the premiere.

Of course, there are also many friendly participants. For example, the crew of "Looking for the Dragon", the crew of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", and some other domestic stars. When we go abroad, we are all compatriots, and it is common for us to support each other.

Facing the applause from the audience, Mu Ming smiled and nodded. After all, it's a premiere, and it's still necessary to say two opening sentences. However, today's focus is on the movie, which is about to start screening, so Mu Ming didn't delay much and walked off the stage from one side.

After saying hello to Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Baby, Shu Qi and others sitting in the front row, Mu Ming returned to his position. Then in a crisp children's line, the film officially began.

The plot of the movie starts from the perspective of the heroine's son. Wake up, routine, and say good morning to every piece of furniture, wash, exercise, eat...... It's just the daily life of an ordinary child.

To tell the truth, just looking at the beginning paragraph, except for the slightly cramped small room, it still feels very warm.

But then, the next plot tells the audience that this is not a warm parent-child life drama, but a rule of law in progress. The young heroine Qiao Yi was locked up in this room by the murderer for nine years, during which she also gave birth to a child.

However, even after being imprisoned for nine years, Qiao Yi still did not give up hope of escaping. Especially when she faced her son, who was growing up and began to doubt her surroundings and was curious about the time outside, she finally made up her mind to escape.

watched Qiao Jie, who jumped off the back of the pickup truck on the screen and stumbled forward. As well as the criminals behind him, who were approaching step by step, Mu Ming clearly heard a slight inhalation sound from nervousness around him.

However, this is not a suspenseful thriller movie after all, so whether it is Xiao Qiaojie escaping or the police finding Qiao Yi, it only takes up a small space. Soon, the murderer was caught, and Qiao Yi's mother and son were also sent to the hospital.

The plot began to move to the second half, and Qiao Yi, who escaped, slowly fell silent again after the joy of the beginning. The lost nine years, separated parents, classmates and friends who live normally, and the visiting eyes of those around Qiao Yi all forced herself back to the "room" in her heart.

Fortunately, she also has a son, a son who is brave enough. He quickly adapted to the outside environment, and by the way, he saved his mother, who wanted to commit suicide. In the end, he helped Qiao Yi get out of the shackles in his heart by cutting off his long hair.

At the end of the film, the mother and son duo return to that room. Little Qiao Jie and the furniture that he grew up with said goodbye in turn, just like when he greeted him good morning. Then, he closed the door and left the place.

This time, it was really left.

The biggest difference between the film "Room" and other films of the same genre is that it does not focus on the pain of mother and son being imprisoned, or the exploration of the perpetrators. Most of the scenes are focused on how to get out of the "room".

This "room" is not only a room in reality, but also a room in the heart.

To be honest, Mu Ming was still a little nervous. The real events of the film take place in Europe, and the original book is also very well-known. However, after all, Mu Ming wants to face the domestic market, so he has made a lot of adaptations of Oriental dialects, and he is not sure whether these adaptations will affect the understanding of Western audiences.

The screen dimmed, and the lights in the theater slowly lit up. Mu Ming took a deep breath, and next, it was time to announce the success of the film.

"Wow-"

There was scattered applause, but soon the city was overwhelmed. The audience told Mu Ming with warm applause that the touching of family affection is not divided between East and West.

Mu Ming turned to face the audience, smiled and nodded. Then she pulled Miss Wan Qian, who was a little moist in the corners of her eyes, and walked onto the stage to express her gratitude to the audience.

In addition to the crew, guests and film critics participating in the Cannes Film Festival, many of them are ordinary audiences. Seeing the appearance of the leading actors in the movie, the enthusiasm was obviously much higher, and many people shouted the names of the characters in the play loudly.

As for Mu Ming, at this time, the behind-the-scenes personnel like the director have always been ignored.

Mu Ming didn't care, or rather, she was used to it. Miss Wanqian thanked and interacted with the audience there, and Mu Ming walked over to the main creators of these domestic crews. People give face to cheer, and Mu Ming personally expresses her gratitude.

"Good shot, young man. ”

It was Hou Xiaoxian who spoke, and he praised Mu Ming. Although "Assassin Nie Yinniang" is also a participating work, the premiere is in the afternoon, so he still has time to come and watch it.

Actually, before this, he didn't think much of Mu Ming. Not against him, but at commercial film directors. The reason why I came here is also for the sake of everyone who is a Chinese filmmaker.

However, after watching the film, he also had to admit that this junior is indeed very good. That's why he took the initiative to come over and praise Mu Ming twice. By the way, I also want to persuade him not to follow the "crooked path" of commercial films, and it is only right to concentrate on film art.

Regarding Hou Xiaoxian's "persuasion", Mu Ming didn't speak, and smiled the whole time. In any case, they are predecessors on the road of film, and their achievements in the industry are comparable to those of masters, which is still worthy of respect.

But in her heart, Mu Ming didn't listen to a word.
