Journalists, flashing lights, red carpets, railings, and poster-waving crowds of fans are all all too familiar to Sean, except that the scene has been moved to Cannes, and ...... Whether it is a journalist or a movie fan, the number is relatively small.

After all, this is France, not professional Hollywood, although Cannes has begun to consciously carry out some commercialization in recent years, although today's premiere is quite well organized, but it is far inferior in terms of atmosphere.

Most of the excitement on those news photos is obtained through composition and cropping, for example, a few celebrities occupy most of the space in the middle, and a few reporters are placed on both sides of the back, so it looks like there are a lot of people.

However, there are quite a few reporters, fans and critics who came to the premiere of "Babel" tonight, although it is not like the previous third part of "X-Men", or is there Tom? Hanks starred in "The Da Vinci Code" so much, but it wasn't too bad.

Other actors don't have much weight, but Kate and Sean are definitely eye-catching, the former doesn't have many commercial movies, but one Galadriel is enough to earn a popularity that many people can't earn in a few movies, not to mention that he has played many classic roles; Not to mention the latter, two Oscar nominations and the lead role in the new Batman franchise are enough to catapult him to the ranks of superstars, and now some people call him the best actor born in Hollywood in the 80s.

In addition, last year's case was in an uproar, and the whole world was paying attention, and the former or the latter was a witness, if it weren't for her, it would be very difficult for him to prove his innocence.

In this way, coupled with the fact that the cast is a multinational force, American, Mexican, Moroccan, and Japanese, it is enough to attract the attention of many people.

Then, director Iñárritu's previous two films, "Love is a Son of a Dog" and "21 Grams", although the box office was not very good, but the reputation was quite good, and it was also very appetizing to European film critics, so they also came a lot, and the scene naturally did not lose to those big productions.

"Hey, Ellie, it's been a long time." Walking through the red carpet without stopping and coming to the entrance of the theater, Sean stretched out his arm to the sound of clicking pictures and director Alessandro? Gonzalez? Iñárritu hugged.

"I thought for a long time that even at the premiere in Cannes, I might not see you." Iñárritu replied with a smile.

"You're really right, I almost won't be able to come, and if it weren't for the good relationship with the director of the movie I'm shooting, I wouldn't have been able to take a leave of absence so easily." Sean laughed and greeted the others.

The main members of the crew of "Babel" are gathered at the entrance of the theater at this moment, and they are dressed differently, most of the men are wearing suits, but a few young actors are wearing white or beige teaching robes, which looks a little nondescript.

But compared to Iñárritu, this nondescript seems to be within the acceptable range, although men don't wear many patterns, and come and go in suits, but if they can cooperate in other aspects, such as hairstyles, they can give a better impression.

But Iñárritu's current image makes people don't know what to say, his curly hair is still back, and the length is not small, although the beard has been shaved, the stubble is still obvious, and it is a little messy, obviously he didn't find an image designer or costume designer to give him advice.

If you were dressed like this when directing, it naturally didn't matter, but at the premiere, and it was still in Cannes, it was a bit out of place. But at the moment, there are those Monegasque children dressed in robes and standing together, and the feeling of being out of place is not so strong, not to mention that there are more prominent ones, such as Rinko Kikuchi, who dyes her hair yellow and piles it upright, but is wearing a kimono.

God knows what she thinks, anyway, Sean was thundered, especially with hair, is there any difference between it and the Mohican people's cockscomb hairstyle? Is there any difference between her dress and those little sisters on the street in her memories in her previous life? Well, at least she was wearing a kimono.

So, although Rinko Kikuchi's English is okay, not as vague as other Japanese, who mix Japanese and English, Sean still only has a few brief conversations with her.

Even if she is wearing a kimono, it is still Kate who is more attractive, she is wearing a black and white kimono, modified by the costume designer, sleeveless, and there is no bag in the back, as elegant and generous as ever, there is no sense of incompatibility that Westerners wear in Eastern clothes, but there is a different charm.

It's a pity that Sean doesn't talk to her much, and even greetings are faint, and Kate's response is also very calm, and her gaze basically doesn't stay on him.

Although I was very depressed and helpless, I couldn't care about it, but fortunately, everyone didn't stay much time at the door of the theater, waiting for the Mexican actor Adriana who played the nanny? After Balaza arrived, they walked to the front at the prompting of the staff and waved to the reporters who were coming around, and let them take enough pictures before they walked inside together.

There were already a lot of people gathered in the theater at this time, many of them were directors and actors who had come to the premiere, as well as their assistants and friends, and Frederick and the others came in directly after walking the red carpet, and they were all staying here at the moment. Emma didn't see it, she didn't go with them, but walked through the side door, probably sitting in the screening room by this time.

She really knows the line. Sean thought with a little headache. He first proposed to let her walk the red carpet with Galen, in order to create opportunities for her to have more contact with those big-name directors and actors.

Didn't she want to be an actress in the first place? In that case, wouldn't it be nice to start networking now? Anyway, Sean didn't expect her to do it forever, although he was very qualified as an assistant.

Unexpectedly, she actually refused, and at first she didn't give a reason, until he asked her again before coming here, she said that she was just an assistant, and since she was an assistant, she had to look like an assistant.

Well, Sean didn't refute it, as for the implication...... It seems that his names have been memorized by her through her daily actions and Galen's indoctrination, which is really unpleasant.

I don't have time to think about these now, Sean, who has gathered his mind, greeted many people, although most of them are just acquaintances, but with Inárritu, there will always be some surprises.

"You're in this theater too? That's great, maybe this year's Palme d'Or will be a showdown. Sean smiled and said to a middle-aged man with a beard and disc glasses like Inárritu.

"We're in this theater too, but to your disappointment, we're afraid we won't be able to compete with Ellie." Although the middle-aged man smiled, he immediately spread his hands helplessly.

"For what?" Sean was a little weird.

"Because CG is used too much, and it belongs to ...... Fantasy works. Another middle-aged man standing next to Inárritu said, he, like Iñárritu and the first man, had a beard, but with a few spots of white, sideburns, and was obviously much older than them.

"You know, no matter what the award, as long as it is slightly famous, it will not consider non-reality movies." He spread his hands as he spoke.

Sean couldn't help but snort, then shook his head, reached out and patted them on the shoulder: "It's okay, I believe that "Pan's Labyrinth" is an excellent movie, and the reviews it gets will not be lost to "Babel". ”

The middle-aged man before was called Gilmour? Bender? Toro, who is Mexican like Iñárritu, started directing in the 90s, gained a lot of fame in Mexico, and then went to Hollywood like all directors.

But he didn't have a good time in Hollywood, and although his "Mutant DNA" did well at the box office, he returned to Mexico to continue working hard and set up his own production company.

However, Toro did not give up completely, and came to Hollywood again after the millennium, taking charge of the filming of "Blade 2" and then following the live-action adaptation of "Hellboy" from the comics, which he had always wanted to direct. After the success of two consecutive films, although he has established himself in Hollywood, his status has not improved much, just like early last year, when he finally completed the script of "Pan's Labyrinth" but could hardly find investment.

The Labyrinth of Pan is a fairy tale, but it is also a fairy tale not suitable for children, the god Pan is a god in Greek mythology who takes care of shepherds and hunters, as well as farmers and people who live in the countryside, generally in the image of people with horns and hooves.

In Toro's script, a young girl living in the Spanish countryside at the end of World War II meets the god Pan in the forest because she is hurt by fascism, and travels to many strange and even strange places under his leadership.

Looking at such a profile, you can immediately understand that what Pan Shen, Labyrinth, and Monster are all fantasies of a little girl escaping the torture of reality. Since it is a fantasy, there will definitely be a lot of CG production, but the script obviously has a literary flavor, so even if the budget is less than 20 million, there are not many people who are willing to invest.

Toro, who had already secured investment from a production company in the middle of last year, refused the request for some changes to the script, and got into trouble again until Iñárritu introduced Sean to him.

Inárritule met Toro, not only because they were Mexicans, but also because of Alfonso? Caron is the older middle-aged man who explained to Sean.

Cuarón, who is also Mexican, became a director before Toro and began working in the 80s. However, he didn't direct many works, and most of them were erotic films, so he was not very well-known until "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was released.

It is no longer known what Warner executives chose him to direct, and how JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, agreed, but he did hand over a good answer, although the box office of the third Harry Potter film was not as high as expected, but it was the most temperamental and characteristic of several series that have been released.

Therefore, these three Mexican directors, Iñárritu, Toro, and Cuarón, are called the Mexican Three Heroes by good people, yes, they are the Mexican Three Heroes that Sean nagged at the beginning.
