Chapter 359: Film Festival Daily
"The Man I Love the Most" is a new drama filmed by a famous Irish director last year, about a father with Alzheimer's disease who loves his daughter Rushan.
There was no sound during the whole screening, everyone watched quietly, and when it was over, there was thunderous applause.
The Cannes Film Festival has also officially opened.
The festival is divided into several competition units, the main competition unit, the attention unit, the midnight screening unit, the short film competition unit, the non-competition unit, the anniversary competition unit and the special competition unit.
Each competition unit contains different awards, and Yang Yang's "Lover" is in the main competition unit, which is the shortlisted film actively invited by the Cannes Film Festival.
As for Zhang Bai, his film was shortlisted for the midnight screening unit.
The Festival de Cannes is open to independent registration, for example, most of the shortlisted films in the short film competition are self-registration.
Among the films released on the first day was "Lover", Yang Yang naturally wanted to follow along, not to watch the movie, but to see the audience.
Just like he goes to the cinema to watch the premiere every time he finishes a movie, the audience's reaction is often the most intuitive manifestation of the quality of a movie.
What's more, this is Cannes, and the vast majority of the audience are directors and stars in the film industry.
Yang Yang took Su Mo and walked to the fourth floor of the Shadow Palace with Zhang Bai and Qin Feifei, and "Lover" was arranged in Hall G on the fourth floor.
There are a lot of people in the Shadow Palace, and after waiting for several waves of elevators in a row, it is easy to take a batch of empty spots, and as soon as they walked in, a few familiar figures followed in.
"Yang. Olivia greeted him with a smile.
Yang Yang nodded in response, and saw that Olivia was still surrounded by Goodrich, and there was a handsome foreign guy with a beard.
Olivia should have said a lot of good things for Yang Yang in front of Goodrich, and when Yang Yang smiled at him, although the old man's face was still a little cold, he nodded in response.
As for the other handsome foreign guy, he has been staring at Yang Yang through the mirror in the elevator since he entered the elevator, and his eyes are a little weird, which makes Yang Yang can't help but wonder if he is a gay.
Goodrich and they got out of the elevator on the third floor, and Yang Yang recalled that the old man seemed to have a film in the main competition unit, and he should have gone to see his own movie.
Admission is ticketed, and there is no popcorn and coke, but expensive ice cream.
Yang Yang walked into the cinema and sat down in the last place according to his habit, while Zhang Bai and Qin Feifei walked forward, as if they wanted to leave space for their little couple.
Su Mo obviously didn't want to watch this movie that made her jealous all the time, and kept competing with the ice cream in her hand without raising her head.
Yang Yang thought for a while and whispered in her ear: "I just saw a few romance movies, and when we go together, let's treat it as a date, okay?"
Su Mo was overjoyed and kissed him on the cheek, sticky and cold.
Yang Yang couldn't help laughing, since he broke through that layer of relationship, Su Mo has become more and more like a child in front of him, pouting when he is unhappy, and then asking him to hug and coax.
The film started very quickly, and apparently a small number of people did not watch this movie for the first time. Yang Yang could always hear someone whispering in English: "This movie is good." "I heard that it is a Chinese director. "Really? I can't see it at all. ”...
The attendance rate in the screening hall is still good, more than 70%, and no one chooses to leave the venue during the screening.
Yang Yang waited until the person was almost gone, and then he got up. The response was not bad, and the vast majority of the audience was quite satisfied, which made Yang Yang quite satisfied.
In addition to the judges' selection, the audience also has the right to vote for the final award selection of the film, but the proportion is relatively small.
Zhang Bai and Qin Feifei walked up, Qin Feifei pursed her lips and chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be so bold." ”
Yang Yang replied: "For the sake of art." ”
Qin Feifei shook her head, glanced at Su Mo, and quipped, "I'm not referring to movies." ”
Yang Yang is embarrassed.
In the next time, Yang Yang listed all the films in the main competition unit, ranked them according to the attention and praise of each movie, and then watched them one by one with Su Mo and Zhang Bai.
You also have to buy a ticket to watch a movie at the film festival, it is not a free screening, and ordinary audiences can also enter, but most people come not for the movie, but for the stars in the venue.
A particularly romantic arrangement at the Festival de Cannes is an open-air film on the beach of Marce, where a classic film is screened every evening during the festival.
With the sound of the waves, the sea breeze blowing, and the stars in the sky, it is really a very beautiful and romantic thing to enjoy those old movies that are as fragrant as old wine with your beloved.
Yang Yang and Su Mo changed into simple and casual clothes, hiding between tourists and audiences, and snuggled up to watch a movie. Yang Yang felt that this would be a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Zhang Bai's movie will be released at seven o'clock in the evening, and Yang Yang naturally wants to go to the show.
The name of the movie is "Nobody Will Miss You". It tells the love story of a young urban couple who wander between the pressure of reality and emotional contradictions, and finally come together.
is still Zhang Bai's usual profound style, and the tone of the whole film is gloomy, giving people a feeling of depression. The heroes and heroines in the film abused each other throughout the whole process, Qin Feifei cried a lot, and waited until the end to see the light of day.
The actor was unable to participate in this film festival because of the schedule, Yang Yang felt that it was quite good, Zhang Bai's directing level became more and more atmospheric, and he was at ease, which made him sigh that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to catch up.
Qin Feifei joked that in order to shoot this film, she almost had to shed all the tears in her life, and her eyes were so sour that she couldn't do it almost every day during filming.
During the twelve-day film festival, Yang Yang soaked in the cinema almost every day, with Zhang Bai. Su Mo and Qin Feifei have been interested in other aspects of this beautiful town since the third day, such as the beach, the sea, and the sun-drenched streets, where women can always quickly find common hobbies and quickly develop into good friends.
By the time more than half of the time, the two of them were already as good as glue, and they came back every day with big bags and small bags, excitedly shouting which handsome Hollywood star they met today.
It's a good life, isn't it?
Soon, on the tenth day of the festival, tonight, the organizers will announce the winners of several competition categories.
Once again, the stars from all over the world gathered in the Shadow Palace, waiting for these days, in fact, just for tonight.
