"For this year's Cannes, Anyang Baby is really a surprise. It's full of talent and energy, and the contemporaneous recordings are particularly striking. -- Liberation

"With indisputable talent, Wang Chao paints a delicate portrait of a Chinese city. The rhythmic table xiàn is a social continuation that has existed for thousands of years, and a world that has broken in sudden upheaval. - Le Monde

"The frozen footage used in Anyang Baby is much longer than it takes to understand a story. And Chu contributed a simple performance in the film that is completely different from "Lan Yu", which just complements this radical style, making the film not look so extreme. - "Daily Screen"

……

Well, Chu Qing really can't understand the brains of literary and art workers.

If "Lan Yu" has had a certain impact on ordinary fans, then "Anyang Baby" has successfully scratched the itch of film critics. The day after the film was screened, not only the Cannes house magazine, but also several other French newspapers all gave up considerable pages for analysis and interpretation.

From the use of frozen lenses, to the contrast between large panoramas and close-ups, to the changes of characters in the main body of the shot, etc., we will carefully break and grind for you, study them one by one, and even call Wang Chao's shooting technique "bold and innovative style." ”

All in all, a good review.

Of course, the simplicity of the film's content and the paragraph-style storytelling are too simple, not smooth or layered enough, and these shortcomings are also obvious. Therefore, while the media praised it, they did not complain that it had gained nothing, but only encouraged and tolerated the new director.

If you change the master to try it, you will be scolded to death every minute!

It is said that nearly half of the film festival's schedule has been released, and more than a dozen of the 23 competition films have been released, and none of them can win the applause and cheers of the audience after the end.

Pale and weak, everyone was disappointed, they didn't see any great work. And the organizing committee is even more embarrassed. Because in good conscience, this year's standards are really poor.

So far, the most popular is the recut version of "Apocalypse Now" by the elder Coppola, you know, this is a film from more than 20 years ago, a proper slap in the face.

In this case, people are not interested, and they are just habitually waiting for it to gameover.

No matter what happens to the outside world, Chu Qing has no time to deal with it anyway, and he is all focused on the evening premiere of "This Summer".

The premiere is seven o'clock. I started to prepare just after noon, and even with the help of the organizer's staff, I was still overwhelmed because I was not familiar with the process.

For example, the length of the red carpet, the arrangement of guest seats, the official interview before the screening, and the press release of the press conference after the screening...... I'm going crazy, and I don't have the experience to kill people.

The only thing that feels comfortable is that the film counts as an entry. There was no need to be invited, and a considerable number of foreign reporters were on the show.

Six o'clock in the evening, backstage in the theater.

"How's it going, is it pretty?"

Fan Xiaoye is showing her new dress to her boyfriend. Silver-colored, single shoulder strap, high bandeau top, elegant temperament. Worn at her age, she is slightly mature.

"It's so beautiful!" Chu Qing praised with a clear conscience, and looked at Zhang Jingchu's body again. smiled: "Xiao Chu's is not bad." ”

"Thank you." The girl pursed her lips in reply.

The two girls' spare dresses had been worn for several days, and the aesthetic fatigue was a little dirty. But I didn't have to change, and the clothes for the finale were still waiting for the closing ceremony, so I had to go outside and buy two long skirts to deal with tonight first.

Compared to their relaxation, Li Yu was too nervous, sitting alone next to him, his eyes hollow and distracted. The first movie, the first premiere, is still such a big stage, and it is inevitable to be afraid.

Chu Qing shook his head, went over and patted it, and said, "Hey! ”

"Huh?"

Li Yu was frightened, turned his head suddenly, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's almost time, it's time to get out."

"Oh, good."

She adjusted her feelings, straightened her clothes again, and then several people turned to the outside of the hall and stood at the door of the theater to wait, while Cheng Ying stayed inside to be responsible for the reception.

Less than 20 meters from the gate to the side of the road, there is a bright red carpet, and various media are poked on both sides.

Each premiere is a small red carpet show, and the invited guests come in formal costumes, enter the venue in advance, and say a few words to the creators. After that, it was the turn of the general audience who bought tickets.

Chu Qing looked at the deserted street, he didn't know who would come, everything that should be notified was notified, and the rest was a matter of affection.

“OH！”

After waiting for a while, a sharp-eyed reporter suddenly became extremely agitated, hurriedly raised the camera, and crackled and slammed it.

Everyone was surprised, and when they looked in the direction, they saw a short, stocky gringo with glasses, slowly stepping on the red carpet, as leisurely as if he were walking in his own back garden.

Master, what the hell are you?

Xinding, who didn't know him, hurriedly asked who this thing was; Acquaintance with the old bird, but strange for the hair he will appear here?

Chu Qing was also quite surprised, he didn't expect to really appreciate his face, so he ran over, spoke three-and-a-half level English, and said, "It'sasurprise!" Thankyou！ ”

“……”

Pierre Risian looked miserable, didn't bother to reply, hugged him, shook hands with Li Yu, and staggered into the theater.

Those foreign reporters were immediately excited, it was originally a routine thing to run, how big can an Asian rookie director be? Unexpectedly, there was an additional harvest.

Needless to say, the status of this lord in Cannes has not been shown since the opening, but now he has shown his true identity upside down. In a moment, the foreigners made up for the relationship between him and Chu Qing countless times, and had more expectations for this little party.

But unfortunately, there was only one surprise, and the following went according to the normal script of the Orientals.

The arrival of Guan Jinpeng and Chen Guo, Chu Qing was expected, and he could accept Xu Anhua's support. And when she saw Chen Kexin stepping on the red carpet with Wu Junru on her shoulder, followed by Liu Dehua, she was a little surprised.

But it ended here, what Cheng Long, Xu Laowei, and Li Lianjie did not appear, which made his little heart a little more stable.

…………

In the hall, the screen is bright, and the bumpy "This Summer" finally officially debuted.

In the middle of the front row, Li Yu is next to Yuan Lei, responsible for explaining at any time, this girl is the main force of domestic propaganda, and she has to be entertained well. And Chu Qing is sandwiched between Fan Xiaoye and Zhang Jingchu, the left side is light, the right side is strong, the two styles are in harmony, and it feels quite wonderful.

He actually didn't have much thought, he watched this movie no less than five times, and he was already ripe. So he looked around with a very lax attitude to see if he could find the filmmaker boss hidden in it.

"Oops, don't screw it!"

Fan Xiaoye stabbed him unhappily, and said in a low voice: "Look good, what are you tossing around!" ”

"Oh." He sat upright obediently, but he couldn't bear it, and secretly glanced at Zhang Jingchu, the girl's expression was so serious that it was almost pious, which made him instantly ashamed.

At this time, on the screen, Xiao Qun was kissing Xiao Ling fiercely.

This shot is extremely beautiful, starting from the lips of the two of them, and slowly sliding down, revealing a swan-like white neck. Xiao Ling's two thin collarbones, like a spring breeze, directly captured the G-spot of the audience.

Then, her clothes were lifted and one hand was neatly inserted into her pants. The thin waist is graceful, undulating, and the belt buckle on the pants is also shiny as the owner's body twists.

When filming the passion scene at the beginning, the two girls went into battle in person, and they were not ambiguous at all. But now as an audience, Zhang Jingchu is ashamed.

That sister Hitomi is simply domineering, the kiss is a real kiss, the touch is a real touch, the rubbing is a real kneading, she is like a little chick, let her play with it.

Shame is ashamed, but she is reluctant to take her eyes off, every shot, every action, every detail, the girl does not let go. After all, this is the work in which she has put the most effort into it since her debut, and it is also a work that gives her first glimpse of the way to acting.

To be honest, Li Yu uses the shooting techniques of commercial films to package this cruel literary film, which is different from the dull and boring domestic independent films. She just told the story in an interesting way, and the graphics and music were excellent, which made it destined to be quite popular and fit the aesthetic appetite of modern people.

Europeans have always had a soft spot for same-sex themes, not to mention that there are three beautiful girls in the film, Wang Tong's calmness, Zhang Jingchu's graceful and gentle understanding, and Fan Xiaoye's youthful rebellion, each with its own style, all like old friends.

Li Yu is not as good as Guan Jinpeng, he has experienced a mature skill, and he can show the love between Handong and Lan Yu delicately. She has not yet arrived, so she can only take advantage of the tricks, holding the three heroines throughout.

No matter how beautiful, I will shoot how I want, how sadistic I am, how I will express Xiàn, and then use a barely smooth plot connection. What kind of female consciousness, humanistic care, marginalized groups, and ethical conflicts ...... "This Summer" has, but it is obviously deliberate.

In a word, there is potential, but not enough depth.

Therefore, the audience in the audience is very enjoyable, and the film critics will not be polite. Their judging criteria for participation and participation are absolutely different, who cares if you are a newcomer or not, write and scratch in the notebook, and prepare for tomorrow's mouth cannon.

In the end, with the "bang" of Fan Xiaoye, blood flowed and the screening ended.

"Whoa!"

The audience gave a standing ovation to their face, and their requirements were very simple: sincerity, no pretense, and a little thinking spirit, which was enough to make them physically and mentally happy.

By and large, everyone is rewarded.

Fans have an eye, critics will not lose their jobs, reporters will have an extra day of newspapers, film companies will have confidence, directors' dedication will be satisfied, and actors will realize their self-worth......

Only Chu Qing, as a producer, seems to be the least zài. But it wasn't until a later media conference that the brothers from "Daily Screen" and "The Hollywood Reporter" suddenly discovered:

This product will actually become the first guy in the history of Cannes to be on the house list for three consecutive days without spending half a dime!

(It's really sour to eat the seas while making up nonsense.) (To be continued......)
