I have participated in the film festival a lot, and I feel that there is no difference from the Spring Festival Gala. What I want is a lively atmosphere, as soon as the star director comes, the film is released, the media comments, and everyone is flickering. I think, oops, he's good, you're rotten, I'm okay...... In the end, the trophy is one point, and this year has passed.

There is a unique feeling of broken mouths of three aunts and six mothers-in-law.

The premiere of "Durian Piao" is in front of "Platform", and the number of screenings is also small, and the organizers obviously look down on this movie.

Hong Kong's literary and artistic coffees, to be honest, except for Wang Jiawei, Europa really didn't take a fancy to other goods, but they preferred Hong Kong-made commercial films.

Like Lao Wu's two-gun show, the white-painted little doves fluttered in front of Maria. Or like Xu Laowei, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" shocked foreigners back then......

The good thing about people is this.,Because I haven't seen it.,Pure when the bizarre Dongtu style.,It's cool when you look at it.,Don't give an award after reading it.,The picture is happy.。

But art films are different, they treat them as real films, and in terms of the history of the origin of literary and artistic categories, who can compare to Europa's forced style and provoke.

What's more, Chen Guo's international reputation is not as good as Jia Zhangke.

Before the opening, Chu Qing watched the audience sparsely enter the theater, the theater was deserted, bored inside, and yawned. He's been so virtuous at every film festival, oh, Rotterdam is an exception.

Because of those foreign films, he couldn't read them, and he couldn't understand them, like a purple eggplant hanging on a cucumber stand, and he couldn't squeeze out any water.

In fact, what is brittle, isn't it just a flower with thorns? We're not fruits......

"Brother Qing!"

He was in a daze, and saw Qin Hailu climbing up the aisle, followed by Chen Guo.

"By sea, Director Chen." He got up and gave way, asking, "Why are you later than me?" ”

"Attending a small press conference, what about Director Jia?" She sat down next to each other, looking left and right.

"Ugh. He, he might have something else. Chu Qing said embarrassedly, it is impossible to tell people that Lao Jia doesn't like to watch your movies, so he went to other places.

Chen Guo must have guessed it, he didn't care, and showed a Buddha-like compassionate appearance, quietly waiting for the performance to start.

Chu Qing glanced at him, and always felt that this guy was a little chattering, ah no. It's a bit beyond the level of things, and the mood is very high.

After a while, the lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and the little talk in the audience slowly stopped.

Chen Guo is clearly a realist, and the Hong Kong he depicts has a similar style that cannot be found in any director's films.

What is a female white-collar worker who wants to be happy, a good family who likes the following strips, and a cannon fodder villain who sues you for slander. God-assisted taxi driver...... None of these are available. Some are just crowded and narrow alleys, running halls and Ah San, who speak pure Cantonese, and the toiling citizens who are in a hurry and won't pay attention to you.

Chu Qing just watched it for five minutes, and he was full of desire to complain.

Why is it so familiar? That gorgeous long shot. The chaotic street scene, and the shaky picture of the handheld phone following the buttocks.

The tone of the standard half-documentary and half-movie, the emotional Hong Kong director also loves to play this!

"Hey, you speak Cantonese well." Chu Qing turned his head and asked.

"That's what I learned from the director." Qin Hailu is the first time to see a film starring him. Serious and worried, he asked, "Brother Qing, how do you feel?" ”

"You ask about the movie. Or are you? ”

"It's all there."

"Movie, I can't see anything, you, you act well!" He laughed.

"Really?"

Qin Hailu immediately became happy, with his qualifications and experience, he was definitely qualified to evaluate the quality of an actor, and hurriedly asked: "How is it a good law?" ”

"Uh, look at this ......"

He pointed to the screen: The prostitute of the Qinhai roadshow pushed the door in and said to a prostitute, boss, can I do it for you?

"Look at your smile, the acting is very detailed, polite and a little flattering, it feels very real."

"yes, I've been observing it for half a month!" She said.

"How?" Chu Qing was interested.

"Hong Kong, well, that's the kind of profession ......," she said embarrassedly of prostitutes, "They usually wait in hotels during the day and in cafes at night." I ate and chatted with them in the tea restaurant, and they got to know each other very well. These girls are actually quite simple, and they can't tell me anything, and it's not easy for anyone. ”

Chu Qing listened to her sigh and smiled cooperatively.

The film is abruptly divided into two parts, the front is in Hong Kong, and the back is in Mudanjiang, and the painting style has also shifted from the modern city to the icy northeast town.

Chu Qing had a special sense of intimacy when he saw the little toad car running around the street, especially in the second half, Qin Hailu completely changed to Northeast dialect lines, and the familiar local accent made him a little trance.

The capital has been adrift for several years, but it still has not completely settled down, and it is regarded as a place to die for the rest of his life. Sometimes I really forget about it, but as soon as I see and hear something related to it, I immediately remember too many memories.

Just like in the movie, Qin Hailu chatted with a prostitute who was also from the mainland, and a person took out the white sand cigarettes from Hunan, and then asked her, and she said: "Love is frustrated, smoke a little red river." ”

It was a loss for Chu Qing's tears, otherwise he would have been properly collapsed by this saying, which was widely circulated in his student days.

…………

Although "Durian Piao" is a good movie, it has little chance of winning awards.

Westerners want to give ordinary affirmation to Oriental films, and they must meet two conditions: either they have national individuality or human commonality.

the former, such as "Farewell My Concubine"; The latter, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Of course, Li Yu is even more hanging, he perfectly combines the two, traversing China and the West, and killing the whole world.

Two days later, "Platform" was released.

The organizers originally wanted to arrange three screenings, but considering the long duration of the film, it was reduced to two. This film has actually become very popular, starting from the rejection of Cannes, both the media and filmmakers from all walks of life are paying attention.

It really lived up to expectations, after more than three hours of watching the movie together, the love xù was not only not depressed, but very excited.

The era chosen for "Platform" is very flattering, and the period from 79 to 89 is the end of the turmoil, the beginning of the opening of the country, and the outside world is blinded to the mainland. Moreover, it does not pay attention to politics, and shows the sense of change of the country and the individual from the perspective of a group of ordinary young people, which seems grand but not restless, solid and powerful.

In short, it happened to be the itch of foreigners. Even after the first game, there was a scene of queuing up to buy tickets in the second game, which made Lao Jia excited.

As for Chu Qing, he found that he was extremely cold.

After reading "Platform" in a groggy state, I feel that I haven't watched "Durian Piao" yet, and I always unconsciously wander. I don't care too much about the content inside and the audience's reaction, as if I am separated by a layer of things, which is relatively unfamiliar.

The purpose of his filming is to repay Lao Jia's personal debts, and to help his brother by the way, I really can't talk about how much he loves it. What's more, the filming process is full of troubles, and the big and small things are constantly happening, which makes every day very depressing.

The cycle is long, from the end of the autumn of '99 to the beginning of the summer of 2000, people have been tossed and scrapped. Therefore, Ya's impression of this film is not a little honored, and she only got away with it.

Early the next morning after the screening, the four gathered in Jia Zhangke's room.

Hotel balconies are usually large for celebrities to interview or take photos, and they move their chairs to the platform and sit in groups. The sky is clear, the sun is shining, and as far as the eye can see, there is the blue Adriatic Sea.

Ichikawa Shozo held a stack of newspapers and read the comments one by one in that strange Chinese accent:

The respect and understanding of ordinary people shown in the film depicts some ordinary little people as important history. History is no longer about the great people, but about the little people who are running for their dreams and lives. Only then can they truly appreciate the transformation of history, which constitutes a true commentary on history. It can be said that this film is an epic of those little people. ”

He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This is the column of "Variety", ten little lions. As he spoke, he flipped through the next one and said, "Well, this is from "Zhanying", and it is also ten little lions. ”

In the media circle that came to the film festival this year, there were ten big names, and they set up a small alliance by themselves, almost monopolizing all news resources. also came up with a very eye-catching way of commenting, which is to rate the movie, not by numbers, but by the lion cub, the ten highest.

This move is very popular with fans, who has the leisure to read those long interpretations that don't make sense, how easy it is to watch this, the film is good or bad, simple and clear.

Co-authored, foreigners also know how to fight a good lottery or something.

"I'll see!"

Lao Jia was almost in a state of losing his temperament, and his excitement was almost controllable, so he reached out and grabbed it, sweeping it from beginning to end. Even if I don't know much English, I can still count, and when I look at the little lion, I suddenly have a great illusion: I should take the golden lion!

He is different now than when he first came, he is very conscious and actively participates in this game, and he naturally wants to win.

"The footage of a couple of young people running after a train is one of the most heartwarming scenes I've seen this year. The actor who ran at the front, I was surprised to know that in the first half of the year, he just contributed an excellent performance in "Suzhou River", and this time, he still maintained an amazing level. ”

Ichikawa Shangsan didn't care about Lao Jia's faux pas, read another report with a smile, and said, "Chu Qing, this is about you." He originally liked to be called Chu Qingjun, but people were awkward, and he strongly demanded that he remove the word Jun.

"Yo, I still have a share."

Chu Qing was slightly surprised, and also took a look, and lost a little bit of self-YY.

"Okay, the time for my appointment is almost up, I have to hurry over." Ichikawa glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "We'll talk again in the evening." ”

"To see the publisher?" Lao Jia asked.

"Well, a company in France."

He didn't care, but Chu Qing raised his head and blinked, and the listlessness since he arrived in Venice instantly became lively.

That's what the buddy is here for, and after a few days of, I'm finally getting to the point...... (To be continued......)
