Chapter 429: Location and Vision

"Motorcycle Diaries" is an adaptation of a real diary provided by the Guevara family, and a biographical work like this can basically ignore most of the movie elements, because it sells the subject matter.

Chu Qing watched a movie for the first time from the perspective of pure evaluation, and felt that the film was very boring, without conflict and climax, and full of strange South American customs and poor world. It was only when Guevara went to the leprosy quarantine deep in the Amazon that he was shocked by the horror of the ignorance and backwardness.

However, after the film ended, he thought about it again, and this is where Sellers is so skillful. It is not deliberately sensational, it is not mixed with subjective consciousness, but it is as light as water to show Che Guevara's youth.

I can't see the prairie of revolution, but I can see what dreams look like.

The nine judges had a brief discussion in the small hall and quickly reached a unanimous opinion: "Motorcycle Diaries" is an excellent movie, but it is still a little short of a classic.

In order to clarify everyone's judgment, Quentin made a small game on a 5-point scale, which was limited to internal communication, and as a result, 4 people gave 3 points, 4 people gave 3.5 points, and 1 person gave 4 points.

Chu Qing didn't say much, just prepared a thick notebook, and kept recording, feeling, and thinking.

In fact, if his growth process is concerned, it is extremely clear that the saying: where you stand, you can see the scenery.

When he was a young actor, he thought about work and remuneration; When he was a big actor, the job became an appreciation of the performance, and the remuneration was just a few thin numbers.

When he stepped step by step to become an investor, producer, and even participate in the film system, and became a representative figure of independence and commerce, emerging and traditional, mainland and overseas, what came to him was the entire film industry system.

政zhì. Culture, Industry, Technology, Thought, Market...... One by one, frame by frame is presented in front, grand and complex, vast as the sea.

For the next few days, Chu Qing lived a monotonous and regular life.

Every morning at eight o'clock, I rushed to the work center of the film festival to sign in. Then everybody has a meeting. Due to the fact that the copies are not yet complete, the time for viewing the movie is relatively loose, about one or two films per day.

"Motorcycle Diaries", "Peter Sellers Life and Death", "Shrek 2", "Ghost in the Shell 2", "Old Woman Killer Group", "Women are the Future of Men", "Tropical Diseases", these seven films are the results of the jury.

Chu Qing is unprecedentedly immersed in the collision of images of various genres and cultures, and feels the stories behind the movies and movies.

He marvels at Jeffrey Rush's performance and sulks at Mamoru Oshii's multicolored totems, and is amused by Puss in Boots. Also indulge in the mystical legends of the Thai jungle.

In terms of viewing experience, his favorites are "Old Woman Killer Group" and "Shrek 2". One is interesting, the other is even more interesting.

However, everyone knows it. The latter is just to sell Hollywood's goodness, and he can't do it.

As for the former, Quentin is full of disdain, saying that it is the worst film of the Coen brothers. has completely lost the genius of the case, and is completely vulgar.

One of the more embarrassing is the Korean movie "Women are the Future of Men". It is to the effect that two men have been in a relationship with a woman. When time passed, the two men met again, and they remembered their lovers back then, so they went to find them together.

I found it, but I found that it was useless, the woman's attitude was ambiguous and impartial, and she was two familiar strangers. Because no one is anyone's life, just a passerby.

Let's not mention the meaning expressed in the movie, the most important thing is that this is an erotic film.

A group of guys who have only met a few times get together to watch Xiao Huang* films, anyway, Chu Qing is quite awkward. But when I look at the others, both men and women, they seem to be in high spirits.

Well, I instantly feel that I am very LOWB!

And as the opening of the film festival approaches, the jury, which is not very familiar with it, also has some preliminary understanding. Tilda Swinton, for example, is full of talent and toughness. For example, Emmanuelle Bea, that is the beauty and pride engraved in the bones. For example, Quentin is used to controlling a qiē and jumping out of the flying, but fortunately everyone is very tolerant.

Chu Qing, the youngest in the group of nine, is still the only Asian identity, and knows that there is no BUFF. So from the beginning, he had the attitude of learning and asking for advice, not publicity, not humble, sitting quietly somewhere, watching others arguing and arguing.

If someone asks, answer them succinctly. If the quarrel is fierce, it will also gently persuade you. Chatting and getting along on weekdays, acting impeccable.

Westerners advocate individuality and pursue uniqueness, but it does not mean that they cannot feel a person's inner temperament.

And after a few days, the eight big coffees found that Chu Qing was here, just like you were bored drinking black coffee, and suddenly the guests at the next table gave you a piece of soft bread.

Relaxed, enjoyable, without a bit of burden and precaution.

Everyone likes to make friends with such people. Of course, they don't know that there is a very appropriate Chinese word to describe this kind of pretending to be *forced:

Called, a gentleman is like jade.

……

May 10th, afternoon.

In the lobby of the Matinez Hotel, there are four Oriental people sitting on the sofa, with obvious features, just looking at the wear and equipment, you can know that it must be a film crew.

At the head of the group is a tall woman who is flipping through an official pamphlet. They waited for a long time, and the other three were already quite impatient, and the photographer looked out the window frequently, and finally couldn't help but say: "Sister Wen Pei, his shelf is too big, it's been more than an hour!" ”

"It's just, I haven't seen it in so many years!" The guy next to him said.

"Wait, who's going to let us catch up with someone!" The woman replied without looking up.

"Can't you come tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow has tomorrow's arrangement!"

“……”

Those people were speechless, so they had to press the irritability and continue to be hard.

This film crew, from the CCTV Movie Channel's "World Film Journey" column, is led by the location host, Ju Wenpei.

She has many identities, graduated from a serious conservatory, made her debut as a composer, and later became a host, and at the same time filmed a lot of scenes, and her writing is also good. It is jokingly called "from crossover to unbounded." ”

This year's film festival is the fifth time that the column group has made an on-site report on the international film festival, and from the 12th, a five-minute Cannes special will be sent every day.

This program is still good, all the materials are filmed abroad, and it introduces the film history, current situation, production system and development trend of various countries in depth.

These four people arrived yesterday, rested for one night, and came to interview Chu Qing today. Unfortunately, he had a busy day, pushing from morning to afternoon. It turned out that it hasn't come back yet.

No wonder they are unhappy, this is CCTV, how many celebrities dare to play big names on CCTV?

But Chu Qingzhen didn't mean it, at this time, he was sitting in the screening room, watching Quentin and Emmanuelle quarrel.

“OH! This is the worst movie I've seen this year! Everyone in it made me uncomfortable, and the director, I couldn't figure out what was going on in his head? ”

The skinny little Emmanuelle is like a manic lioness at the moment. I have already left my demeanor behind.

On the other side, there is Quentin, who is not in a hurry or impatient, calm and sarcastic: "Maybe you have been in the incense of France for too long, and you are not very suitable for the current film format." I'm the opposite of you, I'm fascinated by this work. ”

"Fascinated?"

The other party's attitude made her more and more annoying, and said loudly: "You are actually fascinated by a movie about incest?" A man is in love with his sister, and a man is in love with his daughter! OH! There is also the scene where the octopus is eaten alive. I don't see the value of it, it's disgusting! ”

"Oh, I have to warn you. The director just used some postmodern techniques to make it a little sharper. Quentin laughed.

“NO! NO! Postmodernity preaches iconoclasm, and its only effect is to make us more vulgar! ”

"Oh, that's definitely your personal bias, and that reading of it is a pretty good postmodern sentence."

“……”

The two of you came and went, arguing, and the others sat steadily, watching the excitement vigorously. Because so far, the dialogue has remained cinematic, and no insulting words have been involved.

As for the point of contention, it was another Korean film that had just been screened, "Old Boy".

Unlike the previous calm, this film caused a direct confrontation with the jury, each led by Quentin and Emmanuel. Tilda is the one who supports it, and she is a pioneer woman in a bunker, and she has no problem with her heart.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

She and Chu Qing were still sitting in the third row, and when they saw the look on his face, they couldn't help asking.

"Uh, didn't think much of it."

The thing straightened up and replied casually.

"What do you think of this movie?" She asked again.

"Good movie, but I don't like it." He told the truth.

“……”

Tilda glanced at him, smirking a little.

Xu is because of the same kind of people, the two of them communicate more privately, and Tilda probably knows each other's personalities, so it is not surprising.

And Chu Qing leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He wasn't thinking about anything else just now, he was thinking about this film. Thanks to his experience in Hong Kong, he has read a lot of books on film theory, and he is no longer the semi-literate man with black eyes.

For "Old Boy", he first judged the form of the film, which is not a traditional genre film.

The so-called genre film is a film form that repeats, imitates, reproduces, and mass-produces. It works on a mature assembly line to produce very similar works, just to make a bigger box office profit.

The most common, like crime movies, disaster movies, action movies, horror movies, comedy movies, romance movies, and so on.

"Old Boy" can barely be regarded as a crime film OR suspense film in terms of subject matter, but its content and packaging are typical of the flavor of a CULT film.

Because Park Chan-wook perfectly presents his own unique visual style, including narrative techniques, brutal visuals, and an almost morbid spiritual core. As a result, this movie has been raised to more than one level, far from the concept of genre films in the popular sense.

This made Chu Qing the saddest, he brushed the mainland directors again and again, and no one could reach this level. Those fifth- and sixth-generation coffees either pursue pictures, elevate their thoughts, or play tricks, and rarely tell a good story in a down-to-earth manner.

The only reliable one is Jiang Wen, but Lao Jiang relies on genius, is eclectic, and has not formed a complete set of personal film philosophy.

In short, all hit the streets.

To be honest, he used to look down on Korean movies, thinking that they were wild places, and old Hong Kong films were king. But now, as a judge, I look at the quality of other people's movies relatively objectively, and I find helplessly:

We don't even understand what a genre film is, people are already fighting hard and ready to do a big job!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Quentin and Emmanuelle argued to no avail, and the jury broke up.

Chu Qing returned to the hotel with a very complicated mood, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw the already sleepy film crew, and suddenly felt sorry, so he forgot about this stubble.

He hurriedly went over and greeted, "Hello, it's "World Cinema Journey", right?" ”

"Huh?"

Ju Wenpei was holding his head in a daze, and he was in a trance for a moment before coming back to his senses, and quickly got up and said: "Yes, I am the host of the location this time, and my name is Ju Wenpei." ”

“……”

When Chu Qing heard this name, he paused strangely, and felt very familiar:

"You have the ability to rob men, why didn't you open the door? Open the door! Open the door! Open the door, open the door, open the door! (To be continued......)
