Chapter 323: Forced Qualifications

One hundred and two years have passed since the Lumière brothers screened the world's first publicly ticketed film, The Train Arrives, in Paris in 1895.

The Lumière Cinema Palace has always stood on this land, like a weathered predecessor, witnessing the filmmakers who came over one by one.

The sun and moon alternate, and the stars change.

Some people are ambitious to stand at the highest point of the award ceremony and overlook all living beings, proclaiming the arrival of their own time, some people sit below and applaud, witnessing and looking forward to the day when they can stand on the stage and cheer together, some people regret the end and finally become the stepping stone of the successful under the disappointment, and some people pass away and are forever frozen in the best stills.

Zhou Yang walked up the steps step by step, looking at the movies and stills, as if he had traveled through an era, feeling sacred and solemn.

He walked to the last few squares and saw the back of "Overlord", on which stills from the "Celsius 911" movie were hung.

Every word on the stills is bright red as blood, full of anti-war and accusations. Morgan clenched his fists and looked at death like a compassionate warrior.

This is the crowning honor of the Festival de Cannes and the official praise of the Cannes for the art of cinema.

Not far away, countless praises followed, and Michael. Morgan was surrounded by countless people, smiling brightly, as if he was the most eye-catching protagonist in the entire Cannes International Film Festival.

Subsequently......

Zhou Yang stopped.

He was warmly told by the staff next to him that he hoped to wait a while......

He heard an even more violent commotion.

Last year, the Berlin International Film Festival won the Golden Bear Award, and the director of the film "The End of Bella" Issa Brown. Bella came slowly in a long white veil with her hands on the hem of her skirt.

Michael. Morgan and Isa. Bella held hands with each other, and then came to Zhou Yang's side, communicating with Zhou Yang very cordially in French.

Zhou Yang couldn't understand what she was saying......

But then Issa. Bella also took her hand and put herself and Michael. Morgan pulled under the stills from "Celsius 911" together.

A blonde-haired photographer excitedly walked over and snapped a picture.

The light of the camera once made Zhou Yang feel a little dazzling, and he laughed instinctively, but his smile looked a little silly.

In order to swear that they are the leaders of the three major film festivals, and that they are more sacred than the other two major film festivals, this year they not only invited many official politicians from the United States and the United States, but also vividly rendered the three themes of "anti-war", "despair" and "miracle of life".

After taking photos, the three of them walked into the awards venue of the Cannes Film Festival step by step.

Zhou Yang felt like a cat stupid by a searchlight, it didn't matter if he was happy or not, but he felt that he had returned to the time when he was drifting with the crowd.

…………………………

The awards ceremony at the Cannes International Film Festival is broadcast live worldwide.

This is the grand event of the three major film festivals in Europe, and it is inevitable that countless people are paying attention.

The "Night Walker" crew has already begun to create.

The invited are all big names from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, and it is definitely a cooperative movie that is not inferior to "The Grandmaster" after it is filmed.

Django wasn't happy.

On the contrary, he was very haggard, although he learned that Zhou Yang did not block him through the so-called relationship, but when he saw Zhou Yang and the three of them standing together and taking an intimate photo on the screen, his heart was as uncomfortable as a knife.

He felt that the gap between himself and the other party was getting bigger and bigger, like a deep trench.

The award ceremony is underway.

In the news on the Internet.

Some people interpret "Struggle" as another part of the "911 Celsius" movie, or even the same series of films shot by different directors in the same place.

Even, many shots from the two movies can be connected in series.

"The sudden bombing and landslide during the filming of "Struggle" was actually not done by terrorists, but an ugly miscalculation and accidental bombing."

"In "Celsius 911", there is a candid filming of the filming location of "Struggle" that the official arrived, and vaguely recorded the ending of the bombing of the people......"

"The officer was court-martialed and is now repenting for his comrades who were bombed by mistake......"

"It's an extreme scandal, disgusting......"

In the past, most of the media reports on some old and American aspects were mentioned, and even if they knew a lot of truths, they never tore them up like now.

At this year's Cannes International Film Festival, however, the media went crazy, complaining between the lines that some of the people in power were in jeopardy and scandalous situations.

Django Cannes official news reports.

Every piece of news seems to speak of the cruelty of war and the desperation of ordinary people.

But......

In his eyes, all these news are boasting about Zhou Yang, boasting that Zhou Yang is a hero and a warrior, and he is one of the three high-profile figures at the Cannes International Film Festival this year......

Django wants to turn off the live stream, but he gets irritated and thinks this guy is a lucky guy who has stumbled by mistake.

Just when he turned it off, Cao Bangguo turned on the live broadcast again.

"Face your opponent and you'll have a chance to win."

"He's lucky, but luck is sometimes a kind of strength!"

Cao Bangguo's voice echoed in Django's mind.

Django finally nodded.

But......

Inexplicably and a little discouraged.

No matter how well I shoot "Night Walker", can I win the award?

"The Venice International Film Festival is in August this year! If you can become the first director in China to win the Golden Lion Award, then you will not be much worse than him. ”

"Golden Lion Award...... Is it possible for me? When he heard Cao Bangguo's words, Django suddenly became even more desperate.

The Golden Lion Award, which is the highest award of the Venice International Film Festival, such an award......

How could he possibly get it?

"I will help you shoot "Night Walker", this is the script I carefully selected for you, after filming, it will definitely be a rescue work for Hong Kong Island films to surpass "The Grandmaster"!"

"Good!"

The feeling of despair suddenly rekindled a glimmer of hope.

He nodded abruptly.

………………………………

The stage, the lights, all eyes on it.

After walking into the Cannes Awards Hall, Zhou Yang felt a lot of discomfort.

Vail. Smith is like a courtesan, shuttling between many celebrities, and by the way, he introduced directors to Zhou Yang.

These directors of different skin tones treat Zhou Yang very warmly, speak fluent English, and talk a lot with Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang smiled so hard that his skin stiffened, as if he felt that he had some face blindness and amnesia, and he didn't remember any of the long names of those directors, and even felt that they all looked similar.

This year is completely different from last year.

Last year, he and Wang Shuai came to Cannes for the first time with "Crow", at that time, he was unknown and no one knew, and "Crow" finally failed and returned without any fish.

This year, it seems like everything is the other way around.

He seems to be known to many foreign directors, and everyone is very enthusiastic, although many smiles and eyes are full of hypocrisy and interests, but Zhou Yang vaguely has the illusion that he is also a character, and his vanity inexplicably swells for a while.

Of course......

The inflated vanity was immediately suppressed by him.

He sat down in his place, silently waiting for the Cannes International Film Festival to begin.

This year's Cannes International Film Festival is different from last year.

Last year's atmosphere was festive, and at the beginning of the festival, the host's mood was very joyful and the mood was extremely high, but this year's Cannes International Film Festival has a hint of gloom.

When the award ceremony began, the entire venue was plunged into darkness for three minutes.

In the center of the stage, an Austrian pianist who played piano music appeared, Zhou Yang didn't know who he was, but when he played, Zhou Yang saw some people in the front row standing up.

As some people in the front row stood up, some people in the back row also stood up one after another.

The dim light gradually became brighter......

Zhou Yang found that the pianist closed his eyes and was immersed in the melody, and the piano sound changed from the initial beauty to extremely pathetic, and finally from low pathos to extremely sonorous, as if he was rebelling against something.

After the piano music was played, Zhou Yang learned from the discussion that this pianist is the world's famous blind pianist, who enjoys a high reputation in Austria, and his fathers have been on the battlefield and have devoted their lives to peace and freedom.

Peace.

It is the main theme of this year's Cannes.

After the performance is over, the host comes in hand.

The hostess of this year's Cannes is none other than Issa, who just took a photo with herself. Beira.

At this moment, she was full of enthusiasm and excitement to say something......

Immediately, the prologue of the stage slowly opened, and the figures of the judges gradually appeared, in addition to those famous directors, everyone found that among the judges, there were some veterans with missing arms and legs, some from Lao Mei, some from Ira*, the two sides sat together, as if there was no hatred for each other, and it seemed to be extraordinarily harmonious.

This year's Cannes official seems to be interested in creating the purpose of film art without borders, and under the rendering of a series of atmospheres, the force is full.

"Hello, Mr. Butcher Hollywood......"

"Huh?"

Just as Zhou Yang watched the award ceremony begin on the stage, he heard a voice.

Zhou Yang subconsciously looked back with a smile.

Then, I saw an old man about fifty years old looking at him happily.

The old man has a mustache, his eyes are shining, but the corners of his eyes are slightly gloomy, although he laughs enthusiastically, his twitching muscles are full of chilling temperament, like a person hiding in the shadows and can give you a knife at any time

Zhou Yang felt that the old man seemed to be familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He hesitated for a moment, and then his brain shook suddenly!

If he remembered correctly, the old man in front of him seemed to be called James. Bonth!

Is the legendary king of Hollywood horror films?
