When the applause rang out, Qin Muchu was ready to slip away.

However, they are not sitting in the first row, nor are they in the far corner of a row, there are people on the left and right, and they have to wait until everyone is gone before they can leave.

There's no way, just wait.

But......

It's endless, the end credits are over, and you're still ...... Leave?

Well, admittedly, he didn't know what that meant.

But this exhibition hall still has to put down a movie, and it's not a matter of keeping it occupied.

After a while, the staff entered the venue and urged the audience to leave, and the applause gradually stopped.

But this peculiar scene still aroused the curiosity of many moviegoers who were queuing up outside the door, and when they saw someone coming out, they immediately asked:

"Brother, what kind of movie is in it, you don't want to come out with applause?"

"It's a great film, it's a romance movie, but it's not just about love."

This is an audience who understands movies and sees a lot of connotations.

He didn't say much, otherwise it would be a spoiler:

"In short, brother, believe me, this film is definitely worth your look, and it's worth watching many times."

After speaking, he left the exhibition hall, and the audience following him echoed:

"That dude was right."

This made the audience in line mutter, looking at the movie poster at the entrance of the exhibition hall that had not yet had time to be replaced.

Love Letters......

When is the next movie in this movie?

……

"Director Xu, the movie is great."

Outside the exhibition hall, Wang Xiaoshuai gave a thumbs up to Qin Duchu, and several people next to him also expressed the same meaning with their eyes.

"Director Wang has won the award."

Qin Muchu shook his hand, and then asked:

"When will Director Wang's "Rizhao Chongqing" be released, is it available today?"

Wang Xiaoshuai's smile stiffened, and he paused:

"Well, I really haven't paid attention, just for a few days."

Just a few days?

Qin Muchu was stunned.

Isn't this nonsense? The film festival lasted for a total of ten days.

And why are the guys next to you smiling so happily?

Forget about the old man, even Fan Shuishui couldn't see his eyes with a smile.

Wang Xiaoshuai was also a little embarrassed in his heart, but if he didn't show it, it would mean that nothing would happen.

"Director Qin, it's almost time for dinner, why don't you go eat together?"

Hearing this, Lou Ye, who was still smiling so much that he couldn't see his eyes just now, was like a Sichuan opera changing his face, and he instantly restrained his smile.

I watched the first "Love Letter" early this morning with a hangover and dizziness, and I wanted to watch the movie on the one hand, but I also wanted to take the opportunity to make an appointment with Qin Muchu after the movie was over, and see if I could help ask about the forbidden director.

Qin Muchu glanced at the time, it was past ten o'clock, although he originally planned to watch another movie before going to dinner, but he refused the invitation once last night, and it was not easy to refuse this time.

So he said:

"Okay, but I have to invite you, thank you for coming to the show."

"Haha, Director Qin is too polite, but I will grab either of us for this meal, Lou Ye has already booked the restaurant, and the French director has done his best to be a landlord."

Wang Xiaoshuai said with a smile.

It doesn't matter who invites you to a meal, after all, they are not the ones who are short of this money.

But today's meal is with a purpose, and there are requests and people pay for treats, so where is the embarrassment to say the request.

"French director?"

Qin Muchu was a little surprised.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, isn't it true that I can't go back to China to direct for the time being, I can only hang up with the producer here in France to make films, and I am always used by him to talk about it."

Lou Ye stepped forward and explained.

Qin Muchu suddenly:

"I thought Lou Dao had emigrated."

"That's impossible, our ancestors have been from the Celestial Empire for generations, and we can do it wherever we go."

Lou Ye waved his hand, the expression on his face seemed to say that he hadn't thought about it at all.

These words made Qin Muchu really have a good impression of this sixth-generation director who was avoided.

was banned in China, and the movie was even more banned, it is impossible to say that there is no grievance, in fact, there is a simple and direct solution to all this.

Immigrant.

Anyway, his movies can't be released in China, and he doesn't rely on the domestic market to support him, even if immigration basically has no negative impact on him, but there are a lot fewer constraints.

But people didn't choose it that way.

Don't look at people criticizing society and the system in movies, but at least the heart is red.

After deciding to eat together, the group was about to set off, and was just about to leave, when they were suddenly stopped by the two people who appeared in front of them.

A man and a woman, the man holds a thick notebook in his hand, a bit like a notebook.

The woman wears black-framed glasses and short ear-length hair, and looks very capable.

The two stepped forward, and the man took the lead in speaking:

"Hello Director Qin, I am Wang Jianglu, a reporter from "Film Literature".

The woman followed and spoke:

"Hello Director Qin, I am Yi Lijing, the chief writer of "Southern People Weekly".

Qin Muchu was stunned, looked at a reporter in front of him and a chief writer, and responded politely:

"Hello, yes...... Is there something wrong? ”

Wang Jianglu and Yi Lijing glanced at each other, and under the exchange of eyes, Wang Jianglu said with a smile:

"That's right, just now I and Master Yi both watched Director Qin's "Love Letter", which can be said to be a pleasure, and we both like this movie too much.

As for me, I am a reporter of "Film Literature", so I want to do an interview around "Love Letter", and I also want to interview Director Qin. I don't know if Director Qin has time? ”

Qin Muchu has heard of the magazine "Film Literature", which has been founded for many years, and has a small reputation outside the circle, but in the film circle, it is a highly authoritative academic journal.

He doesn't know about "Southern People Weekly", but listening to the name, it should be the same as "Southern Daily", which belongs to the same category as Southern Press Media Group.

"Nanfang Daily" is not a tabloid, it is very influential in the industry, and the "Four Great Flowers" are their comments.

It's okay to interview, in Cannes, it's to watch movies and other awards, and he has time.

Moreover, "Love Letter" has also entered the publicity period, but because of Zhou Huimin's pregnancy, it is impossible to run offline activities, so various online publicity has become the main way, and all kinds of interviews are definitely indispensable.

So he said:

"Not now, we have to go to dinner with Wang Dao and them, let's leave a phone call and make an appointment later."

As he spoke, he was about to take out his mobile phone, but at this time Wang Xiaoshuai said:

"Director Qin, no, it doesn't matter, it's still a little early to eat, let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating, Director Qin, what do you see?"

"I'm fine."

If the interview ends early, Qin Muchu will naturally have no opinion.

"Two?"

Wang Xiaoshuai looked at Yi Lijing and Wang Jianglu again.

If you can pick two people as soon as possible, the two of them naturally have no opinion, and immediately agreed to come.

……

There are no private rooms in the French restaurant, and they are all seated in the lobby.

Qin Muchu and his entourage of more than a dozen people were arranged to sit at a large round table, and after ordering, they asked the waiter to wait for the notice before serving the food and let them leave.

"What is the pattern of our interview, who comes first and who is still together?"

Qin Muchu looked at Yi Lijing and asked.

"Let's go together, we'll ask each other interspersed."

Wang Jianglu said.

Yi Lijing also nodded in agreement.

This is what they discussed on the way here, the audience of the two magazines is different, and there is no competition, and it doesn't matter if they are together, but it may bring out more good questions.

"Okay, then let's hurry."

Qin Muchu said.

It's okay to interview together, now this restaurant is just them, and it will inevitably be affected when there are more people at the dinner for a while.

"Let's do it first."

Wang Jianglu played a gentleman's style and handed over the first question to Yi Lijing.

Yi Lijing was not polite, took out the voice recorder and turned it on, straightening his body:

"Then I'll get started."

I don't know if it's an illusion, Qin Muchu felt that Yi Lijing's whole temperament had changed after saying this.

The lenses of her black-rimmed glasses reflected a cold white light, illuminating her eyes so brightly that it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as "bright-eyed".

And it's not the kind of eyes that fans look at idols, if you describe it, it's a bit like ......

Hunters look at their prey?

Maybe it's too much.

Qin Mu Chuxin said.

At this time, Yi Lijing asked her first question:

"I have seen all Director Qin's works, especially film works, and I found a feature.

"The Gift of Room No. 7", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and "The Father Trapped in Time" are all fathers and children are the protagonists, and even the goal of Downey in "Inception" is to meet the child, parental love seems to be a theme that Director Qin loves to show, is this related to Director Qin's own experience? ”

As soon as the words fell, various expressions such as "surprise and anger" appeared on the table.

It can be seen that Yi Lijing has indeed put her heart into this interview, and she has indeed read Qin Muchu's past works, this summary is in place, and even some people at the table did not expect it.

Listening to her say this, I really think it makes sense.

However, this last question is fatal.

Who doesn't know that Qin Muchu is an orphan?

If you ask, "Does liking to show the love of parents in movies have anything to do with your own experience", isn't it equivalent to saying that people lack what they make up, and reality is not fictional in the movie.

Is this revealing scars?

Wang Jianglu almost wanted to cry, and regret flooded his heart like a tide.

Knowing that this person was so stunned, he didn't agree to interview together, let alone carry forward the gentleman's style.

Can this continue the interview?

If you don't slip away, Zeng Li next to Qin Muchu looked like she was about to hit someone.

Just as he was thinking this, a voice rang out:

"Hmm...... I'm not sure, but the materials I use to make movies are very random, and sometimes when inspiration comes to me, I want to make that story, and maybe as you said, I was influenced by some of my own experiences. ”

Did you really answer?

Wang Jianglu looked at Qin Muchu in surprise, he felt that Qin Muchu was already self-contained if he didn't give a face, but he didn't expect that he not only answered, but also answered very seriously.

This made the "angry" expression on the table disappear, and "surprise" became the only one.

Qin Muchu gently shook Zeng Li's hand under the table, and smiled at her again to indicate that it was okay.

At the beginning, after hearing Yi Lijing's question, his first reaction was that this person was here to stir up trouble, right?

But Yi Lijing's appearance is not like it, there is no provocative look on his face, the most important thing is that his eyes are very sincere.

This should be the kind of person who is extremely serious as soon as he enters the work state, and sometimes he will seem "impersonal", but he is not actually offended.

Qin Muchu has seen some of this kind of person, the most typical is himself, when directing on the set, he is like two people.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Yi Lijing is really deliberately provocative, then he shouldn't have a black face or something right now.

Because it's playing into the hands of others.

It should be dealt with as an afterthought.

Yi Lijing listened very carefully, his eyes were always on Qin Muchu, and he nodded and asked something, but this time Wang Jianglu spoke first.

Although Qin Muchu didn't care about it this time, who knows what exciting questions this Yi master writer will ask next time.

Before that, I still asked one first, so as not to get angry later, and I was kicked out if I found nothing.

"In addition to the TV series, romance seems to be Director Qin's first attempt? How did you suddenly think of this theme? ”

Yi Lijing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

There is a problem with this person's problem.

This is not Qin Muchu's first attempt at romance films.

Sure enough, on the other side, Qin Muchu said:

"In fact, it's not my first time trying a romance film, and the theme of the screenwriter's "Journey to the West" is also love.

But you're right, among the movies I directed myself, it is a pure romance film, and "Love Letter" is the first one.

As for why I thought of this theme, I can't say clearly, it was just a whim, and I suddenly wanted to shoot during that time, and I also wanted to try a new theme. ”

"Director Qin is really always looking for progress."

Wang Jianglu praised and secretly wiped his sweat in his heart.

This interview was a bit sudden, and I didn't prepare very well, forgetting that Qin Muchu is still the screenwriter of "Journey to the West".

Although it was a small mistake, it also made him reflect on the next question to ask, otherwise it would be amateurish to make mistakes in a row.

And it was such a pause, Yi Lijing spoke again:

"Director Zhang Yimou's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is also the screenwriter of Director Qin, right?"

Qin Muchu nodded:

"Yes, but I'm just adapting "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", it has the original book."

""The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is also a romance film, in a very close time, at the same time...... It can be said to be creation, the creation of two love movies, was it affected by any events, or did it accumulate steadily? ”

Qin Muchu glanced at Yi Lijing, this person's interview art is very high.

In the mouth of ordinary reporters or paparazzi, that is, "Are you in love", but in her mouth, it became a reasonable speculation, and the question was extremely tactful.

The charm of language is vividly displayed.

"It's kind of a lot of accumulation." He said.

Yi Lijing didn't expect that Qin Muchu would really choose an answer from the "choose one of the two" options she gave, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask.

She is not a gossip tabloid, she lifted her glasses and said:

"I have read the original book of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", it is a love story in a special period, and today I read "Love Letter", and the two male protagonists have some similarities."

Qin Muchu understood what Yi Lijing said about the similarity of the male protagonist, and he was stunned.

The reason why I said it so euphemistically is because I am afraid of spoilers.

I was even more satisfied with the chief writer of the magazine, nodded and said:

"Yes, the script of the movie version of "Hawthorn Tree" is basically in accordance with the original plot, and the changes are not very big."

"Is there any deep meaning to this arrangement of the male protagonist, or is there a special obsession?"

As soon as Yi Lijing's question came out, the people at the table were a little strange.

They haven't read the original work of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", they can't compare, and they don't know how similar it is to the male protagonist of "Love Letter", but the word "obsession" is not used casually.

Only Zhang Mo, who knew the scripts of the two movies, suddenly smiled and looked at Qin Muchu playfully.

I didn't think it before, but now that I heard Yi Lijing say this, Xiao Qin shouldn't really have any psychological problems, right?

For the first time, Qin Muchu felt embarrassed, coughed twice and said:

"There is no obsession with obsession, it can only be said that it is a coincidence, "Hawthorn Tree" was selected by Director Zhang, I just adapted it according to Director Zhang's requirements, Sister Mo, right?"

Zhang Mo, who was suddenly cue, nodded, this is telling the truth.

"I also discussed the script creation of "Love Letter" with Director Zhang, and I got a lot of inspiration and inspiration from Director Zhang."

Hey, Xiao Qin is really, why are you so modest, otherwise my dad likes him.

Zhang Mo was sighing, and saw Yi Lijing's eyes light up:

"You mean this obsession is not yours, but Director Zhang's?"

"I didn't say that."

Qin Muchu looked frightened and waved his hand again and again.

It's just that this expression feels a little exaggerated no matter how you look at it, and it means to cover it up.

Zhang Mo looked at Yi Lijing, Wang Xiaoshuai and others with a face of "I understand", and then looked at Qin Muchu, who was a huge fake, his eyes widened.

Co-authored, you said that half a day is to shake the pot?

Are you cheating on my father?

And Qin Muchu did not have the slightest psychological burden, although the old man did not come to Cannes, but if he knew that he still played a role, he would definitely be very pleased.

"What do Director Wang, Director Lou, and Jia Dao think of Director Qin's movie, this joint work of the representatives of the previous generation of directors and the representatives of the next generation of directors, as a generation sandwiched between them, how does this work touch you?"

Yi Lijing started the interview again, but the subjects became the sixth generation of directors.

Wang Xiaoshuai, who was suddenly asked, was a little caught off guard, and Lou Ye was the first to adjust and talk about his opinion:

"What I see in this film is relief, it's not just a romance movie, like Li Muzhi's ......"

Suddenly the words stopped,

"Can't spoil it, right?"

"It's okay, I won't report the content of the plot when I go back, just treat it as a chat."

As soon as Yi Lijing said this, Lou Ye had no scruples and said all the thoughts about "Love Letter" in his heart.

From the plot to the actors' acting skills, from the editing techniques to the shooting style, he talked for more than ten minutes, and the people at the table were silent.

"Of course, my understanding of the movie just now is not necessarily correct, but in my mind, this is what the movie looks like.

And the awesome thing about this movie, no, it should be said that the director is awesome because his storytelling ability is too good. ”

Speaking of this, Lou Ye suddenly asked Yi Lijing:

"Do you think the male Li Muzhi in the movie likes the female Li Muzhi?"

After interviewing for so many years, it was the first time to be suddenly interviewed, Yi Lijing was stunned, thought back to the plot of the movie, looked at Qin Muchu and said with some hesitation:

"I don't think I like it, he just uses Nan Li as a substitute for the female wood branch."

"No, I think I like it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was refuted.

Everyone turned their eyes to Fan Shuishui, and she frowned slightly:

"If the male Muzhi doesn't like Nan Li, why hasn't he gone back to find the female Muzhi for so many years? And Nan Li and Nu Mu Zhi have completely different personalities. ”

It seems to make sense.

Yi Lijing also frowned:

"But Nan Muzhi has never confessed to Nan Li, and Nan Li said that he got married, and he was still hesitant at that time."

"I think that Nan Muzhi used Nan Li as a substitute at first, but later he did like her. didn't confess because he was originally a shy and passive person, and it was normal for this kind of character to hesitate to get married, but in the end he agreed, which showed that he loved Nan Li. ”

Zhang Mo also joined the discussion at this time.

In the face of this kind of situation where the public says that the public is justified and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, in the end, everyone's eyes are on the director and the male lead, wanting him to reveal the correct answer.

"That's right, depending on what you think."

Qin Muchu said with a smile.

It's not with the mud, it's that he really thinks so.

The movie belonged to him when he was filming, but when it was screened, it belonged to every audience.

He didn't want to give the so-called "official answer" and erase more possibilities for the movie.

However, this answer obviously couldn't satisfy the girls, and what else did they want to say, so they heard Lou Ye say again:

"This is what I mean by storytelling ability, "Love Letters" not only tells the story clearly and wonderfully, but also gives a lot of blank space, how to say it, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers......"

As he spoke, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it and skillfully put it on his mouth, and began to look for the lighter again, while saying indistinctly in his mouth:

"I think this movie is a classic of romance films."

Classic!

What can be called a "classic"?

After the test of time, it is still the top excellent after many years, which is called a classic!

The people at the table didn't expect Lou Ye, who had the highest "artistry" among the sixth generation of directors, to give such a high evaluation, and even Qin Muchu was praised a little blushing.

Look at Lou Ye again, why is he so kind?

Could it be because he, like Lao Jiang, has been banned?
