Chapter 717: The Cannes Red Carpet
As the opening film, the road to rage has naturally attracted much attention, and it is also one of the key films promoted by the Cannes Film Festival. Theron, Tom? Cruise, James? Franco and Anthony? Hopkins arrived at Cannes two days before the opening of the festival, and just after adjusting to the jet lag, he attended the official preparation of the road to rage pre-screening press conference. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Duke caught in Charlize? Theron and Tom? Cruise walked into the press room of the Palais des Festivals in the middle, and his production style was determined by his production style compared to his home base in North America, which was not very popular among European professional media and journalists.
That's exactly what happened, and the reporter's questions were aimed at Tom? Cruise and Charlize Theron, Duke and James? Franco and Anthony? Hopkins was unpopular.
Anthony? Hopkins is old, and he has long passed his glorious time, and he has seen a lot of ups and downs, and he seems very calm; James? Franco's most famous superhero movie has developed into a poop-pee-fart comedy in recent years, and the European media naturally does not want to see him.
As for Duke, would he care about that?
There were also a few reporters who asked him questions, but Duke only replied in a coping manner, and he didn't bother to say anything to European film reporters who thought that film was far more artistic than Hollywood.
If it is art to strip naked actors and actresses at every turn, and to show the most primitive movements of human beings on the screen, then Japan and the San Fernando Valley are really full of countless film artists.
Duke vs. Charlize? Theron and Tom? Cruise exchanged glances, and neither actor was stupid, so he naturally played the lead role in the press conference, promoting the film hard.
"When the film was fully produced, I watched the film and felt completely shocking,"
Looking at Duke next to him, Charlize? "I was completely blown away by the full picture of the movie. After a long post-production period, my memories of the shoot began to fade. At this time, I watched the film in Duke's film studio, and looking at myself on the screen felt very strange, as if it wasn't me acting. I can really enjoy watching the movie, of course, after watching it. I'm really proud of the effort you put into this film. ”
Tom? Cruise also knows what to say on such occasions, "I was so miserable during that time in the desert that I was crying out that I always owe Duke a word of apologies because I was always frustrated that I couldn't understand his thoughts during filming. Now I can understand what Duke is trying to say. During the months of preparation and filming, it was the most frustrating and difficult thing for me to do. It's to find out what kind of feeling Du Tian wants me to perform. ”
He turned to Duke and said with a smile, "Duke, I have to apologize to you because I felt disheartened at the time. ”
Don't wait for Duke to say anything, Tom? "But when I saw the film, I was instantly impressed by Duke, who in the extreme conditions of the desert, had to ensure the safety of everyone and turn such a complex project into a fearless and pure story on screen." I know Duke is a really amazing guy. But it wasn't until I watched the movie that I really understood how good he was. So my first reaction was, 'God, I'm going to have to apologize to Duke for not doing my best.'" ”
As a director, Duke will definitely have a few words to say.
"During the filming, the extremely harsh weather conditions and the action scenes throughout the filming were undoubtedly quite a challenge for the actors."
Speaking into the microphone of the media, Duke expressed his gratitude and affirmation to all the leading actors, saying, "Tom and Charlize face very dangerous situations on the set every day, and I am glad that everyone is safe and sound in the end. In retrospect, one of the crane-like props we used in the film was really very high and very hanging. Luckily, we've made sure they're very safe. ”
Hear that, Tom? Cruise immediately complained, "Actually, this thing is not safe at all, okay?" ”
The Cannes Film Festival is simple and complex, to say it's simple. It's a program that's about the same every year; It's complicated because behind Cannes, like Hollywood and the Oscars, is full of all sorts of factors behind the table.
On the surface, however, the Cannes Film Festival is as glamorous and lively.
For foreign filmmakers and local residents, the biggest feature of the Cannes Film Festival is its high movement and decibels. The organisers of the Cannes Film Festival also admit this, as long as the film is shown, many people will gather, as long as they watch the movie, they will be happy, whether the film is the second most important thing, the key is to find the right feeling of 'going to the lively place to watch the movie'.
Maybe Cannes is the perfect place to watch a movie, and everyone who comes here knows how to 'have fun'.
During the festival, the streets and waterfront of Cannes are filled with the sounds of cinephiles, crowds of cinephiles and tourists laughing and greeting each other towards the cinemas and restaurants, and the sound of praise and criticism of the film is everywhere, and the tourists around them will also prick up their ears to listen, and from time to time peek at the enthusiastic fans, this feeling makes the 'film critics' very happy.
The sound of the cinema is more 'elegant' than that of the streets, because when a film is shown, the characters always speak certain 'foreign languages' that even most of the audience do not understand, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic, and the music is either classical or contemporary, which can be natural or unbearable, and the 'cinematic diversity' that the Festival de Cannes advertises is reflected in these sounds.
Of course, there is another kind of sound that is indispensable, and that is the sound of Hollywood, and in today's globalized world, it is difficult to find a film festival without the impact of Hollywood films.
In addition to entries such as Fury Road and Inglourious Basterds, Hollywood is also adept at premieres, screenings, retrospectives, studio meet-and-greets and other events, so much so that Cannes has made Hollywood films the highlight and focal point, and American English in various accents echoes around the pomp and circumstance of the giant commercials.
There is also the clamor of film festivals that boast elegance and art, with filmmakers from all over the world promoting their products
Many films that are not selected for competition at the Festival de Cannes will also be screened during the festival.
Business-oriented Hollywood won't miss this opportunity, with Pixar Studios' Flying House Travels and Paramount Pictures' Star Trek almost wrapping the guests in an airtight airtight space with posters.
The most exaggerated is Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin, a film with a huge poster erected on the highest point of Cannes, which can be seen in almost every corner of the small city of Cannes.
Today's Cannes Film Festival is not what it used to be, the entire world film industry has been hit by Hollywood, and Europe has long lost its position as the center of world cinema, even if the French have never recognized it, but it is an indisputable fact that it is becoming more and more difficult for the Cannes Film Festival to attract big-name movie stars.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they agreed that Fury Road would be the opening film.
In the evening of the next day, the red carpet ceremony of this year's film festival officially kicked off. Huppert and eight other members of the jury were the first to appear on the red carpet, and judging from the distribution of the jury, it is enough to witness the impact of Hollywood on European film festivals.
Of the nine judges, three are from Hollywood, and they are Robert? Rodriguez and Natalie? Portman, and Oscar-winning actress Hillary? Swank.
The red carpet is not long, it is more suitable for celebrities to show their style, and after the members of the jury routinely took a group photo, they walked up the big steps of the Festival Palace.
Nowadays, commercialization can be said to have invaded every corner of the film industry, and the Cannes Film Festival is no exception, for example, many film festival sponsors can let stars who speak for themselves walk on the red carpet of the film festival, but the official live broadcast of the film festival and the footage of reporters will basically not stay on these people.
In Duke's words, these people are here to rub the red carpet.
Celebrities have always been slow to walk the red carpet, but compared to those guests who officially participate in the festival, these people who rub the red carpet are slower, and it doesn't matter if the festival officials don't give the camera, they can hire their own photographers, and then take footage of themselves walking the Cannes red carpet and send them to their own countries to raise their style.
After all, in the eyes of the public who don't know the details, being able to walk on the red carpet in Cannes is a symbol of status and style.
It's just that the public would never have imagined that these people were using their own lineup from beginning to end to perform a one-man show.
And the way these people grind is not officially welcomed in Cannes.
As the crew of the opening film, Duke and Charlize? Theron and others must have appeared in the finale, and when they were in the tent in front of the red carpet, Duke saw that an actress who was once famous in the circle where he lived and worked was rubbing the red carpet in a different way, and was urged by the official security personnel several times, and even had a tendency to chase people away......
This is a bizarre circle, the people who rub the red carpet are thick-skinned enough, and the formal guests who walk the red carpet are also thick-skinned.
Duke vs. Charlize? Theron chatted a few words, and a car stopped in front of the red carpet, and suddenly there was a huge cheer on the red carpet. Marceau, walked the red carpet.
Then, a scene happened that surprised everyone.
The French actress wore a double-shouldered deep V suspender evening dress, and when she walked to the middle of the red carpet, perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, the suspender on her left suddenly slipped down, and Sophie, who was in vacuum? Marceau immediately burst into disappointment, but the female star, who has always been arrogant, did not panic, and after Shi Shiran cleaned up, she continued to wave forward to the fans on both sides as if nothing had happened.
But after this scene, almost all the reporters surrounded her.
Although I often admire each other's bodies in movies, it's not bad to see them with my own eyes once in a while, not to mention that after the shooting, the sales of the newspaper will definitely increase a lot tomorrow. To be continued.
