Chapter 325: A New Chapter
People sometimes attribute the success of some celebrities to some external factors, such as family, such as luck, such as extraordinary talent, etc., and then tell themselves that their success is just accidental, and cannot be replicated, and even think that all this is the truth that a person can really succeed.
Norwegian writer Kavey commented on James in "A History of American Cinema". When Bont was in the time, he used a passage to describe James. Bonthe's saga of turning truck driver to director is a short text full of unparalleled luck, talent from an early age, family support, and a distant uncle who became a producer......
It seems that behind the revelation of the truth and seeing through everything, it seems that the successful person will always subconsciously ignore the efforts and efforts of the successful person himself.
These things seem to be cheap, so cheap that they are not worth mentioning.
But in Zhou Yang's view, James. Bonthe's success seems to be due to hard work and dedication.
The Cannes Awards ceremony continues.
Michael. Morgan won the Grand Jury Prize.
Also known as the Grand Jury Prize, this award is second prize at the Cannes International Film Festival after the Palme d'Or, the highest award.
When the host announced the announcement of the award, the audience was in an uproar, and several people looked at each other, revealing a trace of confusion.
Although these awards are separated, it is rare in the history of the Cannes International Film Festival that a film that has won this award has won the Palme d'Or at the same time......
People thought of a possibility, could it be that "Celsius 911" could not win the Palme d'Or?
Applause, whispers, and congratulations rang out throughout the venue.
The noisy Cannes Film Festival did not affect Zhou Yang and James. Bont two.
One took the scrapped script and read it, while the other continued to write it.
James. Although Bont seems to be a little nervous, he is very interested in new things, and his ability to accept and learn is also very strong, in the short exchange with Zhou Yang just now, he seems to have gotten some inspiration, and began to lower his head and continue to write a new draft.
Under the faint light.
Zhou Yang looked at the scrapped draft of the script titled "Deep Sea".
Although it is a scrapped draft, the font of the script is very neat, almost like it was printed, and there are shooting techniques and storyboard illustrations underneath the scrapped manuscript.
Looking at this scrap manuscript from Zhou Yang's eyes, he couldn't see anything wrong with this scrap manuscript at all. The camera in Bonth's script is switched to shooting, and the audience's sensory experience is definitely not bad, and even has a strong sense of visual impact......
The outline of the scrap manuscript is very simple, more like a set of keywords.
For example: sharks, deep sea, sandy beaches, travelers, ignorance, death, blood......
Zhou Yang carefully put this waste manuscript on the other side, and began to look at another waste manuscript again.
The storyboard in another scrap is the same content, but the camera is not the same, presenting the same plot in a new way.
The impact on the perception is still very strong.
The keywords of the scrapped outline have changed again: beach, human nature, characters, mutations, disasters......
The third scrapped storyboard illustration has become another way of presentation, and the key words of the script have changed again, becoming joy, anger, sorrow, and fear......
After Zhou Yang watched it one by one, he learned a lot of skills on the camera, but the doubts that followed became stronger and stronger.
He couldn't figure out what was wrong with these so-called "waste drafts", and any illustration of the waste draft would surprise some directors as treasures.
In Zhou Yang's doubts, James. Bont finished writing another manuscript.
After finishing writing, he seemed to be a little more satisfied, and then handed the manuscript to Zhou Yang with a smile.
This time, there are only illustrations, and there are no so-called outline keywords.
The illustrations are more delicate than the previous editions, and the sense of the lens is more intense, after watching the bloody shark show a row of fangs, Zhou Yang seemed to go back to the summer many years ago, he sat in the cinema and watched a movie, and then had nightmares for three or four days in a row, and finally he didn't even dare to play by the stream next to his home......
It's as if a key has opened a door to memory, making the once movie pictures clearer and clearer, and the continuous pictures begin to combine, although incomplete, but enough to make people palpitate.
"What do you think of it from your point of view?" James. Bont looked at Zhou Yang's trance-like appearance with a smile on his face.
He likes to talk to young people.
Young people will always have some whimsical ideas that can be integrated with their own thinking, and will keep his mentality young all the time, and let the movies he makes will always be innovative and not be eliminated by the market.
"I think it's amazing...... The sensory sensation is very strong! "Zhou Yang from James. Bont learned a lot.
He was very interested in James. Bont began to grow more respectful.
The two began to talk and chat again, and this time the content of the chat had changed from the initial messy chapters to James. Bonthe's new film script.
Zhou Yang tried to describe some shots and pictures according to his memory. From time to time, Bonthe's eyes lit up, and he drew excitedly on the picture, responding to this kind of picture.
For him, chatting with the young director this time was very rewarding, and indirectly gave him great inspiration, and his gaze at Zhou Yang gradually became a little hot from the initial appreciation.
He seemed to find a resonance that he had never had before.
Just when he was getting more and more excited about talking......
There was a vibrating sound that almost pierced the eardrums.
The two of them saw the stage in an instant.
…………………………
"I'm ready for death!"
"Come on!"
"I'll wait!"
This year's Cannes International Film Festival is destined to be a history-making year.
Michael. Not only did Morgan win the Grand Jury Prize, but after winning the award, it was no surprise that he won the Palme d'Or!
His eyes are frenetic, his steps are slow, and when he takes the stage, he maintains unprecedented elegance and calm, but when he receives the Palme d'Or, he is like an orator in a storm.
Palme d'Or!
This is the highest award that many literary filmmakers dream of.
As he lifted the Palme d'Or, he suddenly shouted like a madman.
The entire Cannes venue was shouted by him like this, and suddenly it became a little weird and riotous, and everyone was nervous and watched everywhere.
Under the lens, Michael. Morgan is like a complete lunatic, waiting for the final moment to come.
In fact, his career has reached its peak.
The awards that followed were completely meaningless to him.
When he first debuted, he even dared to risk his whole body being torn apart, staying around the wolves just to capture a moment of the cub coming out of the hole.
In a sense, he linked life to art, and death was not a fear for him, but a kind of romance.
He even went on stage, constantly imagining that a bullet would pierce his heart, and then he collapsed on the stage, using his life to make "Celsius 911" leave a strong mark in the history of cinema.
Pity......
The panic spread for a few moments before it was slowly subsided.
Cinematographer Cameron did a good job of capturing his fearless hero, but he couldn't be filmed at all falling.
Little by little, time passed.
There were no bullets in his heart, no other death threats, everything was the same as at the previous Cannes awards.
Under the camera, a sense of embarrassment suddenly spread.
He was starting to look stupid.
But there was no laughter at the scene, and many people were watching him seriously.
Michael. Morgan slowly walked off the stage, and then there was an indescribable sense of loss.
even regretted at one point why he didn't hire a killer and shot himself to death.
The unnatural death of a creator on stage often renders the greatest works and is remembered in history, even becoming a legendary immortality.
However......
In the sound of control below, the sudden sound of laughter made this supposedly tragic and legendary history turn into a farce after dinner.
Christian was laughing too.
When seeing Michael. After Morgan's serious, uncertain expression, he couldn't help but pat Michael. Morgan's shoulder.
"Maybe the plane crash will be realistic......"
That's a hype.
A hype that will make this year's Cannes International Film Festival different from the past and have a higher level of attention and audience.
Christian didn't take it seriously, Chairman Steve. Ferres didn't take it seriously, and everyone cooperated with the acting.
However......
No one could have imagined the main character, Michael. Morgan suddenly took it seriously.
…………………………
"He and James. What the hell is Bont talking about? ”
"yes!"
"The conversation seemed engaging."
"Talking about the script of a new movie?"
"Here we go!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
The farce diluted a little of the depressive feeling of the Cannes Film Festival.
The award ceremony continues.
The camera is given to Zhou Yang and James from time to time. Bonthe.
Under the camera, the two have been talking to each other, revealing script drafts from time to time.
The two of them seemed to be unattended, as if this was not an awards ceremony, but more like a script workshop.
The directors of Huaxia watched all this, and Wang Shuai and Huang Jiacheng couldn't help but start talking.
Subsequently......
When the ceremony begins to announce the special Palme d'Or......
The two who were talking suddenly held their breath.
They are like witnesses.
While witnessing a new award in the history of Cannes cinema, it seems to be witnessing a Chinese director writing a new chapter on the international stage.
On-screen ......
There are no other candidates.
Only in "Struggle", Zhou Yang frantically knocked on the coffin board and tried his best to survive.
I've watched it many times, but it's still full of tragedy, cruelty, and depression......
"Zhou Yang!"
In applause......
The figure slowly stood up and walked to the stage.
