As the world's largest film market, more than 200,000 people flock to this small city every year during the Cannes Film Festival.

More than half of them are movie fans, and the rest are film practitioners from all over the world.

As the opening film, "Cinema Paradiso" naturally attracted much attention and was also one of the key films promoted by Cannes.

The day before the official opening, Xu Hui led Al Pacino, Matt Silly and the heroine Zoe Deschanel to attend the pre-screening press conference of "Cinema Paradiso" specially prepared by the official.

Xu Hui's film style leans towards Hollywood narrative structures and is usually less artistic, so he is less popular with professional media and journalists in Europe.

Originally, as the birthplace of film, Europe has always believed that film is art, and the so-called art must not be a big seller!

So, even though "Cinema Paradiso" was his first English-language film, reporters generally focused on Al Pacino and Matt Silly.

After all, these two are Hollywood masters!

Xu Hui and Zoe Deschanel, no one cares...

Zoe Deschanel has become less and less independent this year recently, and actually made "Jesse Arrives", a typical American sitcom, not at all as literary and artistic style as "Five Hundred Days with Shamo", uh, to put it bluntly, Zoe Deschanel is not famous enough!

However, Zoe obviously doesn't care about these, there are many creators of "Paradise Cinema", she is originally a green leaf!

As for Xu Hui, some reporters asked him if he wanted to shoot this "Paradise Cinema" for Mao, because he didn't want to transform or something.

Xu Hui casually coped with a few words.

The person who asks the question is casual, and of course the answer is casual.

He doesn't expect these people to eat!

Xu Hui has no emotion, and the main force of propaganda will definitely be handed over to Al Pacino and Matt Silly.

Al Pacino looked at Xu Hui, and then said: "When I saw this script, I was already moved, which is the main reason why I took this play." I can assure you that this is a real movie!"

"That's right!"

Matt was cute and also made a stumble: "The director didn't look for me for my role at the beginning, I recommended myself by myself, and in order to be able to star in this work, my salary is 2 million US dollars!"

"Wow!"

The reporters in the audience were a little excited!

Matt is cute, the 20 million club!

rejected "Spy 4" and lowered his salary to join "Paradise Cinema"...

This is all a flashpoint!

"I am very grateful to the actors, in fact, the main reason why "Cinema Paradiso" was filmed in two months is the high efficiency of the actors, and through this cooperation, I have realized the importance of good actors to the film!

“… I'm scared too, if it weren't for the fact that you're going to work overtime again, I definitely wouldn't be on my own!"

Al Pacino said a stalk with a grim face, and the reporters in the audience laughed...

……

The Cannes Film Festival is actually quite simple, with a fixed registration process, and the units displayed will remain unchanged for thousands of years.

Of course, the PR hidden behind it is also endless!

After all, the judges are also human beings, and they all have their own preferences, and it is difficult to win awards for the films you support, because you have to convince others to accept them!

There were eight members of the jury, led by Spielberg, Ang Lee, Nicole Kidman, Christopher Waltz, Christian Monge, Lynn Ramsey, Naomi Kawase, and Vidia Baran.

From the judges' point of view, you know the impact of Hollywood on today's film field.

There are eight judges, and four of them are all eating in Hollywood!

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, in addition to "Destined" in the main competition unit, "The Mystery of the Floating City" was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit and also served as the opening film, Hong Kong director Liu Yunwen's "Crossing the Line" was also shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" unit, and Adu's "Blind Detective" was screened at midnight.

That's right, in addition to the main competition unit that attracts the most attention, the Cannes Film Festival also has two units: 'A Kind of Attention' and 'Midnight Screening', but 'Midnight Screening' does not participate in the awards!

According to statistics, a total of 1,858 films were submitted to Cannes in 2013, of which 80 shortlisted films will be screened in two weeks...

These judges are really hard.

……

The Coastal Trail, located on the Mediterranean coast.

Wide and tidy, with a sandy bay on one side and a luxurious Holiday Inn on the other, both European-style buildings and modern high-rise buildings from the last century.

Xu Hui held the maid's hand, and the two walked through the night...

"Remember here?"

"Hmm..."

At the beginning, the two took "Once Upon a Time" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival for the first time!

It was on this road that the relationship between the two was sublimated... It seems that I misremembered, forget it, almost...

"It's been three years in a blink of an eye!"

Pao Hui sighed a little emotionally, time is gone!

Who would have thought that three years ago he was so chic and belonged to the state of leaving after a shot!

What now?

Even had a close contact with Fan Xiaopang during Cannes...

Forget it, don't think about other women at this time, it will look scummy!

"Yes, it's been three years, I really didn't expect you to become a big director!"

“… I'm a big director, I'm too far behind. ”

Xu Hui still has a lot of compulsion, and his current achievements can only be pretended to be forced in Asia at best.

Without the blessing of important awards, a commercial director will never achieve high achievement.

Explosive Bei is so hanging, many people mention him as an explosive maniac...

"Don't be modest, anyway, in my opinion you are the best director. ”

The maid suddenly became excited, and pointed to the street not far away: "Let's go, go get something to eat?"

"Okay!"

Walked to the familiar rue de la Ménardière, known as the pedestrian street of the south of France!

Again to the lobster shop.

"Taste it and see if you can find it?"

Xu Hui smiled and looked at the maid who was cutting seafood, but the latter ignored him and stuffed the shrimp into his mouth.

Close your eyes in contentment.

A lot of things are gone, but Xu Hui can guarantee that his sincerity is still there!

"After eating, let's go to the French folk shop?"

Xu Hui proposed.

The maid shook her head directly, her eyes flickering a little: "Don't go, what kind of folk shop to visit, I want to... I want to go back to the hotel!"

“… It's hard to come out and have a trip, how boring it is to stay in the hotel!"

"It's just that it's interesting to come out, it's too inconvenient at home,"

“… Okay..."

Pao Hui instantly understood in his heart, this is to applaud?

The chickens wake up immediately!

I want a blooming life!
