Chapter 196: A grand courtesy

The movie ended, and there was some applause in the theater. There are still many people who like it very much, otherwise it would be impossible to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of Gana.

However, there are also many people who have mixed feelings, so it leads

Without doing the "basic etiquette", he got up and prepared to leave. But this is the country of weight, this is Gana, what is the plot, what movies have they not seen?

Where is "Night and Day"? It's nice to have no three people bathing in the same bathtub! Therefore, after the movie, many people still came to talk to them, and then asked for autographs and group photos.

Outside the movie hall, there are also reporters from the movie network who are randomly interviewing the audience and asking them how they feel after watching.

"It's a special movie, but I like it. A lot of things feel a little sudden, but when you look closely, it makes sense. When watching this movie, you need to figure out the change in the heroine's mentality. ”

"Loved it very much! A very good work! I can understand the director's intentions and understand what he wants to say. Maybe I'll watch the re-screening again later! ”

"I don't know very much, but the two actors are very good-looking."

"I think it's a bit bloody······ But weirdly, I found it fascinating, and I saw the end anyway. ”

"A work with a strong national flavor······ I kind of understand why it got nominated for the main contest. ”

"You have to go through the plot carefully to roughly figure it out.,The female protagonist and the first male protagonist should be true love.,The two of them are very similar.,So they attract each other.,Like each other.,There's nothing else mixed between them.。 And with the second male protagonist, out of perseverance, out of long-term love, out of stability. To put it simply, one is a dream, and the other is life. After an interview, the reporter of the movie network probably also understood the evaluation of the movie in the crowd, so at this time he was also ready to interview the person concerned, that is, the director Li Jingkun himself.

····· The evaluation of the movie seems to be a bit polarized, which is the psychological preparation that Li Jingkun had from the beginning, and he didn't think there was anything strange.

Liu Tianxian didn't feel particularly big yet, because the people who didn't like it left early, and those who approached them, hoping that she could sign autographs and take photos, were very fond of them.

There are some survivor deviations. She thought that most people liked their movie, because so far, all she heard was praise!

······ On the evening of the 19th, Zhang Guoshi and Chen Daoming arrived at Niss Airport. As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Guoshi was surrounded by many media groups, and it was a little difficult to move an inch.

Chen Daoming over there had him as a cover, but he walked smoothly, and soon walked out of the airport, boarded a commercial car and left.

It's also a bit of a dog, let the national teacher face all the reporters alone. However, Zhang Guoshi didn't look angry, his attitude and spirit were very good throughout the whole process, and he always had a smiling expression.

It may be that they have waited for themselves for so long after all, so they stayed and accepted a few words of interview.

"The reputation of the movie "Return" is very good, and the box office results are also very good, as of tonight, in just four days, the domestic box office has exceeded 100 million, how is the director's mood?

Zhang Guoshi smiled and said, "Of course I'm very happy, it's good." "How much do you think you'll get at the end of the day?"

Can it break the record of domestic literary films?

"Of course I hope the higher the better. I can't say exactly how much I can take. ”

"Do you feel sorry if you didn't get shortlisted for the main competition unit of Guna this time?"

"I'm fine with my own words, after all, I play a lot. It's a pity for our two actors, after all, they both performed very well!

"Do you have any thoughts on the film "Night and Day", which was shortlisted for the main competition this time?" Maybe it was because he heard a different question, Zhang Guoshi's expression finally changed, and he said with a smile: "I'm very happy, really happy!"

I was surprised when I first heard it. Then I just couldn't believe it, and I confirmed it again and again before I believed that it was true!

"Director Li is your junior brother of Jingying."

"Yes, he's my junior brother, of course we know each other. I remember when we first met, he was still studying in Jingying, and I took "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" to communicate with the teachers and students of the school. At that time, he was already a student representative, and he also came to the stage to interact with us. He is a very smart, very aura young man, and he is also very brave, daring to do and shoot! I love him and I love his films. Including "Introduction to Architecture" and "Hummingbird" and many more. ”

"Director Li's work was also screened at the film festival today, but the word-of-mouth is a bit polarized, those who like it like it very much, and those who hate it also hate it very much, what do you think about this?" Zhang Guoshi was a little surprised: "Really? I haven't seen this work yet, so I can't say anything, and I can't answer your question until I've seen it. ”····· Zhang Guoshi is here, and Li Jingkun naturally has to pay a visit.

There are too many reasons, such as whether he is a senior or a senior brother, and at the same time has made a lot of great contributions to the domestic film industry, etc.; As a junior, since he has also come to a foreign country, he must take the initiative to go over and say hello.

So he got in touch with him early on the morning of the 20th and wanted to see him when he had time.

However, when Zhang Guoshi came to Gana, there were many, many people who wanted to see him and people he had to meet. For example, the chairman and artistic director of the Gaza Film Festival, such as some of his old friends here, etc., so Li Jingkun has to queue up a little if he wants to meet him.

But it may also be that there are a lot of people who need to meet, so most of them chatted for a short time, anyway, Li Jingkun still successfully met with the national teacher at around 11 o'clock.

Naturally, he continued to carry a drag oil bottle with him. Nice drag oil bottles.······ Zhang Guoshi is over 60 years old this year!

But the spirit feels very good, and you can feel it when you see a real person; Or you can feel it in his recent interviews.

He is still very energetic, still active in the front line of creation, and he is still so capable of playing!

In 2010, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was released, in 2011, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was released, and then this year it was "Return".

Needless to say, you can go to the online encyclopedia to see the list of his film works, and after reading a long list, you will stay

The word "admiration". Of course, it can't be said that he has done a great job every time, for example, in a few years he will come across a co-production masterpiece······ But his seriousness and sincerity with the film is certain!

And he's going to keep doing it. In another five or six years, he will be in his prime····· So you can't admire him, so you can't respect him.

"It's good, really, like your previous Hummingbird, it's good, I love it. This time should be good, or they wouldn't have chosen you. "They met in a hotel room, and of course there were a lot of people around him, some assistants, some other main creators of the film.

Zhang Guoshi said: "I remember when we first met, you just filmed a movie at that time, right? Preparing for a second movie? ”

"Yes, at that time, "Youth Pie" had just been released. In the preparation of "Introduction to Architecture", the heroine had not yet been chosen. ”

"Yes, we talked a lot at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to grow so fast after so much time! It really shocked me! ”

"Senior brother is too awarded."

"No, not at all, nothing else, at least I basically like your movies. I wonder how the movie is going this time? ”

"Personally, I think it's okay, but the subject matter may not be liked by everyone." Zhang Guoshi nodded: "I've also heard some reviews about your movie, but I think you can not worry too much about it for a while, and let it continue to ferment for a while; Because it's all normal, it's something that every filmmaker encounters. After all, there are people who accept every subject matter, and there are people who don't. Controversy is inevitable. Didn't I go all the way through the controversy? The most important thing is what you think. If you already feel like it's right, just stick with it and try to do the best you can. First of all, it is more important to have that kind of passion, and to have that kind of desire to express! After venting this creative desire, after the work is completed, it is not too late to summarize it and learn lessons and experience before doing it! ”

"Yes, I see." Li Jingkun naturally nodded obediently, and many of the words of the seniors of the master can still make people learn a lot - although he himself was not affected much by the comments.

····· That night, the main creators of "The Return" appeared on the red carpet of the Syna Film Festival. The courtesy given to them by the organizers was very grand and grand, and they walked on the red carpet for seven minutes, during which the applause and flashing lights never stopped - the scale and on-site feedback were completely different from the previous day's screening of "Night and Day"!

Zhang Guoshi, Gong Li, Chen Daoming, Zhang Huiwen, Lang Lang and others are all there; Everyone is well-dressed and everyone is dressed up to attend!

Gong Li and Zhang Huiwen both belong

"Mou girl", but I have to say that Gong Huang's aura is really powerful. After a few people walked the red carpet, they came to the Lumière Hall, and the movie hall was already crowded, and everyone stood there applauding, otherwise they were taking pictures with their mobile phones.

After walking outside for seven minutes, I also applauded and welcomed in the exhibition hall for more than a minute! This scene, such a grand courtesy, will definitely be transmitted back to China, and the video will remain on the Internet for a long time!

Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian were of course also at the scene. Seeing this scene, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but say to him: "It's so shocking! Director Zhang is so popular here! "And they're just here to show it!

The artistic director of the film festival greeted him personally, and the theater was also full of celebrities, major directors and Oscar winners.

That's the big picture. Ga Na really gives Zhang Guoshi a lot of face. Afterwards, everyone sat down, and everyone was ready to enjoy the master's latest work - "Return"!

······ On the 21st, Zhang Guoshi and others left Gana, ended their short journey to Gana, and began to change positions to promote their works.

On the 26th, Li Jingkun and others, who participated in the closing ceremony of the Gina Film Festival, ended their 12-day trip to the country and returned to Kyoto.

After watching "Return" on the night of the 20th, Liu's mother returned to China first, while Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian went out to wander for a few days, and came back on the 25th to continue to participate in the closing ceremony.

As a result, he did not win the Palme d'Or, and the Palme d'Or that night was taken away by "Hibernation"; A feature film that lasts more than 3 hours.

Both of them have seen this movie, it is a very wonderful work, and it is not unjust to lose to it at all.

After several people left the airport, they were surrounded by a lot of media and asked a lot of questions, but Li Jingkun still answered them with a humble attitude.

Then everyone returned to the company and then separated. Liu Tianxian still followed him to his villa for the time being.

When I finally got home, I started to move my luggage home. After going out for more than ten days, I naturally bought a lot of things and came back, eating and playing.

After more than half an hour of busy work, the two of them didn't want to move anymore, so they both threw themselves on the mattresses at home.

Flying, driving, and carrying luggage can be a little tiring. And after playing for more than ten days, it was lively for more than ten days, and suddenly I returned home, and I felt a little strange and calm at first.

Both of them lay on their sides, sleeping facing each other. After staring at each other for a while, Liu Tianxian stretched out his fingers and slowly stroked his face: "It feels like a dream." ”

"Hmm."

"I feel happier than the last time we went to play in the snow."

"yes."

"It's still a lot of fun."

"Yes, there are shows, there are good movies, and we can still appear together in the bright light."

"Hmm." Liu Tianxian touched his face: "I just can't get the award." ”

“······ So are there still some disappointments? ”

"It's okay, in fact, I've always been a little mentally prepared, and after going over there, after watching so many works, my heart is even more bottomless - after all, it's the first time we go, and it feels a little impossible to take their biggest trophy directly for the first time."

"Hmm."

"But what about you? I've forgotten how you feel, but this award is more important to you, right? ”

"No," Mr. Li said.

"Your feelings are more important to me." Liu Tianxian finally couldn't help laughing, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.

Li Jingkun said: "Actually, I was pleasantly surprised to get the nomination this time, after all, I didn't get the last time "Hummingbird". And Ga Na's influence is really great, don't you think that because of it, our movie has received a lot of publicity? ”

"Well, I feel that if I go to the Gaza Film Festival once, I can save a lot of publicity money. And the movie has been sold in several countries, so we didn't get nothing! ”

"Yes," Li Jingkun also smiled,

"Besides, I've won all the biggest awards, so what's not to be satisfied with?"
