Chapter 31: Hot Discussion
"Director Shen Lin, are you gay? Can you talk about your views on homosexuality? ”
“… You think I'm gay? ”
Shen Lin looked at the reporter in front of him with a little pain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
How do you answer this kind of question?
If you honestly say, 'I don't like homosexuality, I think homosexuality goes against human nature.'" ’
It is estimated that the news of the next day became: 'Shen Lin bluntly said that he doesn't like homosexuality!' ’
Then why does "Carol" still want to win an award? Dream on!
But the state does not support homosexuality, this is the basic outline, and blatantly and openly supporting homosexuality is legal, and it is very likely to be warned!
"Actually, my view of homosexuality is very subtle, because I myself am heterosexual, and my friends around me are basically heterosexual, even if I am in the United States, most of the friends I make are heterosexual, so I don't think there should be many homosexuals, as for what I think about the gay community, I think love should be respected!"
The reporter pouted, and said that it was equal to nothing!
He decisively chose to give up, it was obvious that Shen Lin would definitely be very cautious on this occasion!
After the screening of "Carol", the next morning, Bill helped hold a press conference, inviting most of the domestic media, of course, many European and North American journalists.
The score on the first day was released "Carol" with a score of 3.6, and "Head Up" was directly ignored!
In fact, after the screening last night, the official house catalogue of Cannes has already interviewed a few words, and the current press conference is mainly for publicity purposes.
To put it bluntly, it's to sell films!
Seeing that the director's mouth is difficult to overcome, let's focus on targeting Zhao Liying, who is a little uneasy!
After all, compared with Gong Li, Zhao Liying herself is not very good at speaking, and she is a well-known upright girl.
"Miss Zhao Liying, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Absolutely."
"Are you lace edging?"
“… I'm not. ”
"Why are you hesitating?"
The reporter of NetEase News suddenly became excited, and his attitude was a little aggressive.
"She said she wasn't! Also, we don't accept interviews from NetEase News, replace a reporter! ”
Shen Lin directly interrupted the interview, and like chasing flies, he directly signaled to the press officer, that is, Chen Yang, to be replaced.
“… No, Director Shen, you can't do this, we have the right to interview! ”
The NetEase reporter never thought that Shen Lin would dare to do this, this is Cannes, and he is not afraid that his reputation for playing a big name will spread abroad?
"I'm sorry everyone, I personally had a little misunderstanding with the media just now, if they don't apologize to me for a day, I won't accept their interview for a day!"
Shen Linchong explained to the reporter present, and then motioned to Du Niang's reporter to ask: "I also want to ask Zhao Liying." ”
After the latter stood up, the firepower continued to aim at Ying Bao, "We watched your performance in the "Carol" movie, and admired your acting skills, I want to know how you substituted feelings?" ”
Zhao Liying glanced at Gong Li, then at Shen Lin, and then replied: "I really want to thank Teacher Gong Li, without her, I definitely can't do it!" In fact, I watched the movie myself and thought it was very strange, how did I get to this point? Actually, I have always been a fan of Mr. Gong Li, and when I watched "The City is Full of Golden Armor", I felt that how could there be such a domineering actress, and I think it was really my honor to work with her. When I was making a movie, I only needed to look into her eyes, and then the emotions would naturally burst out, so if you ask me how to substitute feelings, it will be difficult for me to answer! ”
Zhao Liying answered very honestly.
The reporters on the scene recorded a few words excitedly.
Shen Lin rolled his eyes, while Gong Li looked at Shen Lin with a smile and did not speak.
Next, the reporters' target was changed to Gong Li.
The latter is much more sophisticated: "I read a lot of books about lesbians to help me understand the characters. The director almost created a real world".
"My attitude towards homosexuality, in fact, people don't care too much. As an actor, I see each character creation as a rebirth, a process of exploration of human nature. ”
Gong Li talked and laughed with reporters, and Zhao Liying asked Shen Lin in a low voice: "Did I say the wrong thing again?" ”
"Hehe, it's okay, what you said is very good, I praise you!"
"Just tell me where I said it wrong!"
"You'll find out when you look at the news!"
From Zhao Liying's point of view, she feels that there is no problem with what she said, but in the eyes of those reporters who like to chew words, Zhao Liying's statement is simply the warmest declaration of coming out: "I was completely bent!" ’
"Director Shen... Director Shen, do you have any plans for filming next? ”
The reporters in the audience were clearly ready to wrap up, and this kind of question is usually asked when they are about to leave.
"Well, not for the time being, I may produce two movies, I've been too busy in the past few years, and when I return to China, I'll give myself a long vacation!"
Shen Lin replied honestly.
"Okay, thank you Director Shen."
"Don't you have a plan to make a film?"
When the reporters dispersed, Zhao Liying suddenly pulled him and asked.
"Well, I need to rest for half a year!"
"But I saw you writing a script that day, what is it called "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "July and Ansheng"?"
"Oh, that's for Chen Yang, I'm not a director."
Shen Lin replied very casually, and looked at Li Ying, who wanted to speak and stopped: "What, do you want to act?" ”
"Forget it, I'm tired too!"
……
There are two house books in Cannes, The Daily Screen and The Hollywood Reporter.
During the festival, the two house magazines will publish a special issue every day to summarize and comment on the various activities of the recent days.
The covers of these magazines are sold to the public.
The equivalent of advertising space, the price of each poster ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars.
Of course, it is not something that can be on it if you want to, and the magazine itself will do some screening according to the grade and quality of the film.
"Carol" is certainly the first choice!
Unlike film critics, the media must publish posters that are convincing, and the boasting index of "Carol" is definitely the best in the entire Cannes Film Festival!
"Shen Lin, EMI Film Company wants to buy out the European screening rights of "Carol"!"
"How much do they offer?"
"2,000,000 euros!"
“… Okay, promise them! ”
In the hotel, Chen Yang spread out his notebook and reported the situation in the past few days very seriously.
"Of the several movies that have been released, our score is the highest, 3.6 points, "Saul's Son" has 2.8 points, and "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" directed by Jia Zhangke is also 2.8 points..."
"Ratings are useless, at most they can only represent media reputation, and the key is to look at public relations! Yo, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, Bill, how's it going? ”
