The faint sound of the guqin echoed in the cinema, but no one in the entire screening hall made a sound, and no one got up. Even when the subtitles appeared and the name of the creator crossed over the big screen, the entire screening room was still silent, and everyone sat in their seats, quietly watching the big screen.

The story of "Scorching Sun" is extremely tragic, and the struggle, shouting and resistance of this life in a desperate situation shook the hearts of all the audience at the scene, who were speechless by the fury, despair and passion of the movie. The movie is over, but the last picture of the movie is imprinted in their hearts, the pollen flying in the sky against the sun, making them seem to see the ancestor shouting at the sun, you can't win me! Who am I? I am the grandfather!

Jacob was the first to stand up, his hands raised in the air, and slammed together. The crisp applause seemed a little lonely in the silent hall, but he didn't care, and he pumped his hands harder. He was not applauding as the president of the festival, not politely, but as a fan, and he was really moved by the film.

Under the onslaught of Hollywood commercial films, it is becoming more and more difficult for art films to survive. Over the years, Jacob has struggled to carry art films through the Cannes Film Festival, and he feels that he is his grandfather!

After Jacob got up, Fumao also stood up and clapped his hands vigorously, and then Sofia Coppola stood up, Jia Zhangke stood up, and the entire jury stood up, and finally the audience stood up and clapped their hands vigorously. The applause came together and turned into a huge wave, which slammed into the surrounding walls and turned into an enduring echo.

"I don't know how to describe it, it's the most shocking movie I've ever seen!" a film critic clapped his hands vigorously, and he didn't care if his hands were red, "The story is a bit like Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", but "The Scorching Sun" is more tragic and moving. This is truly a movie that will make your soul tremble!"

"Zhang Ran is so hateful, I hate him......" A female reporter wiped the tears that kept welling up in her eyes, "Why let the blind dog die? Zhang Ran is really too ruthless, too hateful!"

A Chinese reporter wiped tears and said to his Chinese counterpart: "This film is so awesome, it's really awesome, plus the jury has Jia Zhangke and Sophia Coppola, I think the Palme d'Or should be stable!"

Jacob smiled and gave Fumao a hug, and said with a smile: "We regretted missing "One Man Puts on the Lights", but we didn't miss "The Scorching Sun". With "Scorching Sun", my last film festival is a success!"

Sofia Coppola turned her head to look at Zhang Ran while applauding, her eyes were full of admiration, this guy is really terrible, and what is even more terrifying is that there will be something new in every one of his movies, and there is no end in sight in him. She couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is really not a human, he is a monster!"

Jia Zhangke didn't know how to describe "Scorching Sun", he remembered that the critics' evaluation of Chen Kaige's "Yellow Earth" was to reproduce the sorrow and glory of China through the tragedy of Cui Qiao, and write the spiritual epic of the nation. But after watching "The Scorching Sun", he felt that this was the real national spiritual epic. "Yellow Earth" shows the ignorant and backward side of our nation, while "Scorching Sun" shows the explosive and unyielding side of this nation, and shows the spirit of resistance.

Wang Luodan listened to the applause and cheers in his ears and knew that "Scorching Sun" had succeeded, so he also stood up and clapped his hands vigorously. But the violent applause around her was like a tsunami, hitting her tear ducts, making her eyes seem to open the floodgates, and tears rolled out. As an actor, there is nothing more exciting than this applause.

It's not the first time Li Xuejian has participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and he hasn't received applause, but at this time, listening to the applause and cheers all over the world, his eyes are still a little moist.

Zhang Ran was very indifferent, but when he looked back at the collective standing ovation and the reporters and viewers who couldn't stop shouting "great", the smile on his face was still extraordinarily bright. The audience likes this movie, which is the biggest compliment for him. Zhang Ran gave Li Xuejian a hug and said with a smile: "The audience responded well, it seems that our film has been a success." ”

Li Xuejian responded with a smile: "Yes, the audience likes this movie very much, how warm the applause is! Director, thank you very much, thank you for giving me this role." After acting in "The Scorching Sun" and playing the role of the master, my life is worth it!"

Zhang Ran let go of Li Xuejian, turned around and gave Wang Luodan a hug, patted her on the back gently, and said with a smile: "It's useless, why are you crying like this? Okay, don't cry! The audience is waiting for us to come on stage, let's go!"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he took Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan to the stage and stood in front of the big screen. They stood in a row and bowed deeply to the guests and the audience as a way to express their gratitude to the audience. And the audience looked at the crew members who bent down and bowed in front of them, and the picture of the movie appeared in front of them, and they responded with more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Zhang Ran led Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan to take three curtain calls in a row, but still did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the audience. They vented their love for the film with applause, screams, and cheers. It wasn't until Zhang Ran, at the request of the staff, left the Lumière Hall and went to the press conference that the applause slowly stopped.

According to the convention, after the premiere of the film in the competition unit, the main creator needs to go to the press conference hall of the Cinema Palace to take pictures, and accept interviews with media reporters to communicate with the media, and the crew of "Scorching Sun" is naturally no exception.

However, Zhang Ran had just walked out of the Lumière Hall with Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan, and an old man with a majority of sixty came over. The old man looked at Zhang Ran and said, "I'm Vincent Marava, the producer of "Goodbye Language". Jean-Luc let me tell you that he wants to talk to you and he is waiting for you at the hotel!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, I was going to attend the press conference now, so he said, "Now?"

Vincent Malava laughed, "Yes!"

Zhang Ran groaned slightly, there have been countless press conferences at the film festival, and the opportunity to see Godard is probably just such a once, the old man is 84 years old, and immediately said: "Then we will go over immediately." He took two steps, turned to Li Xuejian and Wang Luodan and said, "Teacher Li, Dandan, you go to the press conference and accept media interviews, I won't go." Dandan, you apologize to the reporters present on my behalf, and say that I went to see Godard!"

Wang Luodan was a little dumbfounded, this is the Cannes Film Festival, hundreds of media around the world are waiting for interviews, is it really good for you to release their pigeons like this, aren't you afraid that the global media will say that you are playing a big name? She couldn't help but remind: "Teacher Zhang, can this work? Or I will say that you are sick and go to the doctor?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "No, just say that I went to see Godard, they will understand!" He waved at Wang Luodan and Li Xuejian, and then left with Vincent Marava.

Wang Luodan was very speechless, turned his head to Li Xuejian and said, "Teacher Li, why did you say that Teacher Zhang was so willful, just throw us here, it's too irresponsible!"

Li Xuejian chuckled: "Don't complain, since he handed over the press conference to us, then let's take a good interview, let's go!"

"Scorching Sun" was the most watched film in Cannes this year, and after the film ended, 400 multimedia reporters poured into the press conference hall like a wave, filling the entire hall. When Wang Luodan and Li Xuejian walked into the press conference hall, all the reporters stood up and welcomed them with applause.

After taking his seat, Wang Luodan didn't wait for the host to speak, and directly picked up the microphone. She was a little worried in her heart, afraid that the reporters would be angry because Zhang Ran released everyone's pigeons, and that they would be angry with the movie and give the movie a bad review. It's not something she thinks about it, it's really happened in the history of Cannes.

In 1983, French actress Adjani brought "Murderous Summer" to Cannes, but Adjani refused to work with reporters, her reasoning was: "I'm an actor, I came to Cannes to participate in the screening of the two films I starred in, and I didn't want to be dragged around, posing and taking pictures according to their request." ”

Adjani's remarks and gestures angered the Cannes media reporters, who protested against Adjani by forming a circle and placing their cameras on the ground as Adjani walked the red carpet. After the screening of "Murderous Summer", the media gave her a bad review of her performance.

Wang Luodan took a breath and said in a calm tone: "Teacher Zhang, well, Director Zhang Ran, he asked me to apologize to everyone." He was supposed to come to the press conference, but just now, Godard's producer Vincent Malava approached him and said that Godard wanted to talk to him, and that was now, so he went to meet Godard. ”

After speaking, Wang Luodan cautiously observed the reaction of the reporters in the audience. The reporters did not look angry because they were released by Zhang Ran, but they all had the same expressions. She breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the reporters are not angry, they should not say that Zhang Ran is playing a big name, and they will not be angry with "Scorching Sun".

At the same time, Zhang Ran, led by Vincent Marava, came to the Martinez Hotel, Godard's room.

Zhang Ran has heard a lot of anecdotes about Godard, such as Godard who took people to Cannes during the May storm, which led to the suspension of Cannes for a year; for example, Godard was a fan of *****, and 1967 France was the Year of China, Paris was full of Maoist popular symbols, Maoist collar suits were a fashion trend, and "***** Quotations" was sold out of stock. Godard went on the trend and made a film "Chinese Girl" that paid tribute to China. When the film was made, the producer asked the Chinese embassy to watch it. After watching it, the staff of the Chinese embassy gave the assessment that only idiots who know nothing about politics would make such a movie. Godard almost died of depression.

Zhang Ran actually wanted to ask some old gossip, but he estimated that if he wanted to say this, he would definitely be swept away by this arrogant old man, so he smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Godard." I thought about visiting you, but I knew you didn't like to meet people, and I thought you hated my cinematic style, so I didn't dare to come to you. It's great to meet you, and I really want to talk to you. ”

Godard didn't like people to bow down to him, and waved indifferently: "Sit down, let's sit down and talk!"

After Zhang Ran sat down, he said with a smile: "I have watched a lot of your movies, but I don't understand most of them, and there are too many allusions in them." I can only watch the sound and the camera process. Your handling of sound and picture has been a great inspiration to me. ”

Godard had a smile on his face: "It's not important, it's the sound and the image that matter in the film, that's the key." Entangled in the story, characters, plot, and even political ideas are all put before the horse, you are the one who really understands my films. He looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Do you know what I like most about "Scorching Sun"?"

Zhang Ran thought for a while and said, "Vertov, the theory of movie eyes?"
