After all, the current "Gravity" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, so this year's film schedule for "Gravity" is also quite high.

The film came shortly after the opening film, The Moonrise Empire......

In fact, for Cannes, 3D movies feel that there are still certain disadvantages in some places...... After all, in this kind of place with a strong sense of literature and art, it is really not so simple to carry some movies that have quite top progress in technology, or movies that are particularly good at all.

So there aren't many real 3D cinema halls in Cannes......

It's just that "Gravity" is not only in the 3D movie hall, but also maintains a certain level of attention.

Of course, at an old-time film festival like Cannes, a director like Chen Xi, as well as his previous "Gravity", is actually not particularly amazing, and his popularity is not so high that everyone knows about it......

After all, this world is like this, even if some high-grossing movies soar in popularity in a short period of time, which makes people feel quite shocking and will like it quite much, but after the passage of time, how many people will remember?

It's like saying that the "Transformers" series has swept the world, and the box office is so high that it can't be stopped, which makes people feel really great...... However, after thirty years, people will still remember "The Shawshank Redemption" without too many special effects, no action scenes, and no heroes and heroines like Transformers, and there will still be many people who are interested in coming back to watch this movie...... But at that time, few people would remember the "Transformers" series, and few would remember which year and year the box office champions.

Therefore, whether it is the Oscars or Cannes Venice and other film festivals, it seems that they are not tolerant of purely commercial films...... However, this is in line with some of people's feelings, and it is by no means a literary disease or anything like that.

But if Chen Xi's movie can really be played in Cannes, then his fame in the world will definitely spread even further, and places like Cannes are still easy to create heroes! If you can get a Palme d'Or, it means that this is the beginning of your world-famous reputation.

Chen Xi's "Gravity" screening is scheduled for May 12 at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, which is really a good location at this time. And 238 people were invited to watch! Because this is a relatively large movie hall, it can indeed accommodate so many people.

This movie also had some publicity before its release, and many people knew about it, and "Source Code" also made Chen Xi famous after all. So there are still many people who want to see another film work by this Chinese director.

So the audience of 238 people soon arrived happily, and some people applied to come in but there were not enough seats, and finally the audience who could walk to the cinema became 314, but in this case, there were no vacant seats in the entire cinema, and Chen Xi had to sit in the first row again......

It's a sin to watch such a 3D movie in the first row. It's a bit of a headache when you think about it, but compared to the next worry, such a headache is really nothing.

In fact, there is a big difference between foreign 3D movie theaters and domestic ones, and most of the 3D movie halls in the country will try to do a good job in the light, but on the domestic side, many 3D movies will make people feel that the light is very dark, and a major reason why the colors are not bright is because some domestic 3D movie halls do not brighten the lights in order to save electricity.

Of course, there are many kinds of such problems......

But these things are not included in Cannes, where a lot of the equipment is already optimally tuned. Even 3D films, which are not particularly valued at Cannes now, still have a fairly complete configuration.

And now that the movie is about to begin, it is playing.

Among the 314 audience members who came to the scene today, dozens of them were filmmakers, including some well-known international filmmakers.

If they also like gravity, it is very likely that the people who watch Chen Xi's movies will also change their guns and become some more famous international directors.

Nanni. Moretti, Ivan. McGregor, Sheam. Abbas, Alexander. Payne, Raoult. Peck, along with one of the members of the jury this year, the famous French fashion designer, and the only member of the jury who is not directly related to the film industry. Paul. Gortier came to the scene......

After all, a movie like "Gravity" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it is also a Chinese film that has always had a certain degree of attention at Cannes, so it is okay for these people to like this movie and want to see the specific content of this movie. Of course, some of them have already seen it, and now it's time to see it again!

In addition to them, there are also many well-known directors in Hollywood and Europe, and Chen Xi has said a lot to many of them before, in this regard. Chen Xi still responded decently.

In the eyes of these people, Chen Xi has a sense of humility of the Chinese, and there is a real sense of neither humility nor arrogance, and fluent and unaccented English also makes them have a greater good impression, and for a while, Chen Xi has made these people establish a better impression of him in their hearts.

There are probably dozens of such directors and film practitioners. Then there are film critics from a wide range of sources and more complex, there are about more than 80 film critics, this number is quite large, and there are more film critics at the Cannes Film Festival, and after all, they still have a pretty good influence on this kind of film festival, so they are here today and also play an important role in "Gravity", of course, from another point of view, the existence of these people will also determine the next "Gravity" in the world A lot of reviews.

After all, these people come from different countries and different markets, and their opinions on "Gravity" will be transmitted back to their own countries very quickly, and then they will let the fans of their own countries know, which is also a crucial thing for the official release of the film in the future.

In addition to these film journalists, there are about 100 film journalists who are here today, and these film journalists can easily transmit their impressions of a film back to their own countries, they are also quite important, and compared to film critics, these reporters still have more resources of public opinion, although their credibility may not be as good as some film critics. But the public opinion impact they are able to produce is likely to be even greater.

And then among the rest of the people, there are some ordinary audiences, and these ordinary audiences are lucky people, and they are all possible to get such movie tickets through some events and other dishes. After all, if it is a movie ticket for various other exhibition halls, especially commercial exhibition halls, it is still not too difficult to get, but not now...... After all, it's the first day of screenings, and it's the most important people who come.

Of course, "Gravity" will be shown three or four more times in Cannes after that. At that time, it was relatively easier to get movie tickets, but it was not as important as it is now.

In addition to these audiences, there are dozens of film companies from various countries and regions.

Compared with other critics and the like who are more inclined to the pure artistic aesthetic of a film, these filmmakers are much more interested in Chen Xi, and they are more interested in "Gravity...... After all, Chen Xi's previous "Source Code" did conquer the world, and the box office and praise received in the whole world have shown that Chen Xi's calling ability and his ability to shoot commercial films and other places have obviously higher expectations for "Gravity".

In the past two years, with the financial crisis in Europe, many places have also been poor, and various welfare states have had a difficult time. This has also affected the film festival, although the three major European film festivals in recent years still seem to be beautiful on the surface, but in fact, the economic crisis at the root is still quite serious.

In this way, these three major film festivals have actually secretly increased a lot of tolerance for commercial things, and also allowed more commercial things to appear in them, so film companies and other things are now appearing very frequently in Cannes.

At this moment, under the attention of so many complex people, the movie is about to officially begin......

Chen Xi did not welcome reporters, and the reporters should not come to interview until the end of the movie. And the place of the interview may not be a movie theater.

Chen Xi was still quite nervous in his heart......

For him, "Gravity" carries his important strategic goals, and also carries a very strong desire for the box office, so Chen Xi hopes that this film can be recognized at Cannes. It's not just business, it's about bringing yourself a place in world cinema.

After all, strong business may not really be able to make the world accept you and identify yourself as a top filmmaker......

So, can gravity make these people like it?

Chen Xi actually has no bottom in his heart.

In the seats, there were still quite a few people waiting for the discussion.

"I don't know what kind of movie Gravity will be, in fact, I think. Director Chen Xi's "Source Code" is mainly more ingenious in concept and creativity, so that movie was a success, but "Gravity" is different...... Although this movie can't be said to be old-fashioned in terms of subject matter, as you know, it's hard to give a fairly novel feeling, can he make a good movie like this? ”

"It's hard to say, let's wait to see the feature film!"

There are really a lot of doubts like this, after all, what Chen Xi shot before was really a film that made everyone a little suspicious of his next movie.

"Hey, if it weren't for the task, I wouldn't want to waste time watching such a 3D movie, and it's a Chinese movie...... I have to say that the literary films of Chinese films are not bad, but do they really think that they are likely to stand out from the crowd with this kind of technical film? Some of our Chinese friends are really a bit unrealistic! ”

There are not many such statements, in fact, there are really many people who come to watch "Gravity" because of the mission, and people in such a district themselves still have a little rejection of "Gravity" in their hearts, and it is not easy for "Gravity" to convince such a group of people.

Of course, the filmmakers have some expectations...... It's just that their ideas don't represent too many people.

In the midst of their various thoughts, the movie begins......

Regardless of their thoughts about the movie, some of these people have a sense of solemnity about watching a movie, so they stop talking as soon as the movie starts.

Chen Xi, who had just heard some English discussions, felt a lot heavier, but now that the movie has officially started, he can't afford to think about such things anymore, he began to put on his 3D eyes and tirelessly began to watch "Gravity" for the Nth time.

The movie has officially begun!

At first, the screen was dark, and then a few lines were typed.

"Outer space 600 kilometers above the ground."

"Temperatures fluctuate between +258 Fahrenheit and -148."

"There is no medium for the transmission of sound."

"There is no breathing air." ……

The word suddenly vanished as the music became more and more rapid, and then, the screen was filled with a vacuum-like silence, and then, a huge earth appeared on the screen.

White clouds, the ground, and the sea......

The beautiful earth appeared in front of everyone's eyes, as if it was a beautiful dream.

With the appearance of a few lines of dialogue, the quiet earth is revealed little by little.

"It's beautiful!"

No matter what kind of thoughts you had about this movie before, when you see this earth now, there is only one thought left in your head.

It's really beautiful!

This earth feels as if it were a goddess.

The silence of the universe, the dialogue of the radio, and the gradual drifting of spaceships...... Under the powerful 3D effect, it suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and a long shot of 16 minutes began to appear.

It was as if they were themselves in the universe, and under the powerful 3D effect, it was as if they had begun to gradually fall into this weightless environment, with the boundless darkness of space behind them and the beautiful earth below......

A strange feeling of loneliness and beauty crashed into my heart......

They suddenly discovered that some movies really need to use 3D effects to present a magnificent beauty.

For example, the current "Gravity"!

It's beautiful.

"It's so beautiful, I love this opening!"

Many people thought silently in their hearts, but their hands clenched their fists slightly because of excitement.

Take the lead! (To be continued.) )
