Q: What is it like for the director of the Cannes Palme d'Or to stand on the side of the red carpet and ask for an autograph from a celebrity disguised as an ordinary movie fan?

The answer is.

It's not so good.

And there is also the danger of being found dead immediately.

Sun Yi feels this way now, he can't wait to cover all his face, and at the same time, he is also wondering if he should give Liu Yifei, who is constantly screaming and screaming next to him, a suffocating stick, and then carry her away.

There's no way, this little girl is too conspicuous, and if she says it's exposed, it's exposed.

"Okay, let's try it." Sun Yi lowered his head and yelled at Xiao Nizi with his hand to his mouth.

"Ah~ I haven't got an autograph yet."

"Sister, I was wrong, who do you want, I'll ask you for it when I go back, okay."

"It doesn't feel the same." Liu Yifei frowned and shook her head again and again.

Sun Yi smashed it, smashed it, and smashed it.

No, you have to take some coercive measures, otherwise you can't afford to lose this person here.

Find a gap, pick up her arms, and take a look at Xiao Nizi's buttocks, and then ignore her objections, pull her out of the crowd.

Looking for a relatively secluded place, Sun Yi stopped.

Call. It's finally out.

It's not that he doesn't want to accompany Xiao Nizi, but this move is really embarrassing, if this is transmitted back to China, the dignified Palme d'Or director, the big family screams to sign the fence, where is the face, how to lead the team in the future, and the hearts of the people will be scattered?

After breathing a sigh of relief, Sun Yi was ready to meet Xiao Nizi's anger, after all, he had just done it in a real way.

But there was no movement for a long time.

Look at it.

Liu Yifei put her hands behind her back, her little face was flushed, and she was looking at herself timidly like a quail.

The two red lips pursed gently, and this picture didn't look like it was angry.

Instead, I watched

A little bit of anger and hard to speak, and a little bit of enjoyment!?

Sun Yi was shocked, could it be?

Is this a climax?

Or is it?

The shy posture the day before yesterday unlocked a new plot?

Don't you want to be so powerful.

Sun Yi subconsciously looked at his palm, and seemed to be able to feel the curvature, and the corners of his mouth inexplicably hooked up a smile.

Seeing Sun Yi's evil smile on his face, Liu Yifei was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly:

"Oh, what bad things are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Sun Yi spread his hands out, looking innocent.

"The big pervert, they're all numb." Liu Yifei rubbed a certain round part, pursed her pink lips, and protested in a coquettish voice.

Tsk, it's a little light and heavy.

"Then, I'll rub it."

"Die~"

This is just a small episode, there is still a long way to go before the new plot is unlocked, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and there is still work to be done.

As for coaxing.

There's nothing a marshmallow can't solve.

If not, just two.

At this moment, Liu Yifei is like visiting an amusement park, eating one marshmallow in one hand, one bite on the left and one bite on the right, and she doesn't forget to ask Sun Yi what movie he will watch next.

As for the unhappiness just now, I have long forgotten it.

As for why Canada also has marshmallows, I have to say that the footsteps of the Chinese nation to conquer the world are really irresistible.

Sun Yi had heard in his previous life that there were Chinese people selling things in the primeval jungles of South America.

Such a big film festival must not be missed.

Let's go back to the movie.

Ninety percent of the films represented at the Toronto Film Festival are independent films.

It is those films that do not belong to any film group or company in terms of capital investment and production, and mainly rely on the producer or director himself to raise funds through various channels, even including personal funding.

At the turn of the century, independent films were popular in China for a while because of their diverse subject matter.

Of course, because Huaxia films at that time implemented a label system, no label was allowed to shoot, so at that time, China's independent films still had a well-known name, underground films.

Because independent films do not receive investment from large production companies, there is no interference from outsiders, and the director retains the most important editing rights.

It can be regarded as retaining the original flavor of the movie, of course, a large part of the directors are very happy by themselves, and the audience can't watch it, but there are many excellent ones.

In 94, a "Vulgar" swept the world, achieving the name of Quentin's genius director, and last year's 80th Oscars, a "No Country for Old Men", also made "The Coen Brothers" the biggest winner.

Sun Yi also wanted to come to Taobao.

Before he came, he wanted to look for it through the screening list, but after a cursory look, he gave up this idea, and the versions he watched in later generations were all transmitted to China, the names of the movies were all translated, and the promotional posters were not the same. The well-known works of the fire are okay and impressive, but some relatively niche, even if he puts the movie poster in front of his eyes now, he can't recognize it if he doesn't watch the feature film.

Especially in order to show the uniqueness of the supremacy of his film, the promotional posters here are usually very abstract, not at all like the domestic side, and they almost put the star's head on the poster.

This made it impossible for Sun Yi to find out in advance.

You can only hit big luck.

In that case, let's look at the idea, anyway, there is John over there who is looking for a film with a few receivers in the company, so let's rush to touch it here.

"Anything, listen to you today, I'll accompany you to see whatever you want, and I should make up for the fart I just hit"

"Don't say it!" Liu Yifei glared angrily and stared at Sun Yi angrily.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it." Sun Yi smiled, quite happy in his heart.

It feels better and better

After Liu Yifei glanced at Sun Yi, she tilted her head and began to think about what kind of movie she was watching today.

While thinking, I can still put the marshmallow in my mouth without any mistakes.

Should I say it or not, Sun Yi admires this skill.

Does this mean that Xiao Nizi can use her heart and mouth for two purposes, and while thinking about other things, she can do something else on her lips?

It's versatile.

There was time for her to show it.

"I'm going to watch a horror movie."

"Ugh"

This really hit Sun Yi's weakness.

In his previous life, Sun Yi read countless films, after all, he was idle and idle, but horror movies are really not his thing.

He certainly couldn't admit it because he was afraid.

Looking at Sun Yi's somewhat pale face, Liu Yifei squinted her eyes as if she had discovered a new continent, and said coquettishly: "Brother, you won't be afraid, right?" ”

"Oh, how. How is it possible, I'm dignified"

"Let's go, I just saw that there is a movie theater over there."

"Eh, eh, I'm not done, let's discuss it again!"

Sun Yi was only halfway through his words, and was pulled into the movie exhibition hall next to him by Xiao Nizi.

Different from the daylight outside, the theater was dim, and the few audiences made the already small theater look unusually empty, and even the sound formed a strange echo.

I don't know if the screen quality of the theater is too poor, or the director's deliberate picture quality of the movie, the picture on the screen is slightly bleak.

With the theme of horror films, it is really very appropriate.

Sun Yi has been gritting his teeth since he came in, and even tried his best to persuade himself not to pay attention to the movie picture, but to study the director's shooting techniques.

The director's level is very high, the rhythm is in place, and the reversal is also very gripping, a terrifying sound came out, a door appeared, I thought there was going to be some terrifying shot, and subconsciously tensed the muscles of the body, but then it was a smooth transition, and when I saw a peaceful picture, the body involuntarily began to relax, but it suddenly came.

"Ah~~~"

Oops I rub!

The screams almost didn't send Sun Yi away, and his heart stopped for half a beat.

The main initiator is not a movie, but Liu Yifei next to him.

Xiao Nizi plunged into Sun Yi's arms, burying her head deadly, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her mouth kept asking Sun Yi:

"Something, something, has it passed, has it passed?"

Liu Yifei's delicate and delicate body shrunk in Sun Yi's arms, sticking to death, wearing thin clothes in the summer, what should be felt and what should not be felt, he felt it, but he didn't have any crooked thoughts at all, but he had a loveless face.

Yes! ~~~

It's really a dish and a fun-loving movie, and the movie hasn't done anything to me, but I'm almost scared to death by you.

I'm only 23, if this is gone, I won't even have a pot, what a shame~~

In this way, Xiao Nizi, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to scare Sun Yi, completely appeared, and every time she reached a critical point, she was afraid to drill into Sun Yi's arms, and then when the picture passed, she still had to look up and continue to look.

Later, he simply got into Sun Yi's arms and didn't move, and even Sun Yi didn't object when he poked his hand in, as if only by keeping a zero distance from Sun Yi could he really feel a sense of security, and he couldn't even have a layer of clothes.

After being frightened by Xiao Nizi, Sun Yi didn't feel much about the movie anymore, and while reasonably enjoying Xiao Nizi's benefits, he was studying the rhythm of the movie seriously.

Not to mention, this feeling is really moist.

Oh, I'm sorry, I'm talking about the movie, it's silky and not obtrusive. There is no plasma burst scene in traditional American horror movies, and it relies more on reasonable camera scheduling and picture sound effects to bring the audience a sense of psychological thriller.

There is a taste of oriental horror films, and the director's skills are also very good, Sun Yi is a little curious about the director of this film.

Originally, the more the movie reached the climax, the more scary it should be, but Xiao Nizi didn't move much, clinging to Sun Yi tightly, and occasionally her body would tremble slightly.

It wasn't until the end of the movie that the lights in the theater came on, and several fans in the front row began to comment on it unsatisfactorily.

"Wow, that's a cool film, I'm going to recommend it to my friends."

"It's really good, I didn't expect it to be so scary."

Liu Yifei is soft, and her beautiful face has a hint of unfinished red tide, which is extraordinarily charming.

"The movie is over, do you want to watch the next one?"

"Badass! I'm going to the bathroom. ”

The first experience of horror movies is still very good.

Holding Xiao Nizi with some weak legs, he walked to the door of the theater, and when he met the crew, he walked into the theater and began to thank the fans, there were only two people, one of whom was a thin Asian.

Sun Yi fixed his eyes.

Oh, no wonder, it turned out to be him.

Wen Ziren.

Oh, thinking back to the plot of the movie, it should be the first part of the "Latent" series.

"Sissi, can you go by yourself, I'll talk to the director here."

Liu Yifei is a little reluctant, just finished watching the horror movie, she was a little scared, although she only watched the first half carefully, but she also had some heart palpitations, and she didn't want to go to the bathroom by herself, but when she looked up, the bathroom was not far at all, and she was unloaded out of the theater.

Sun Yi can't accompany her in with a man, so it's better to take advantage of the fact that there are a few female fans who are going in now, and she can still have a companion.

He simply nodded and went by himself.

If you don't deal with it, it's really uncomfortable.

"Director Wen, hello, my name is Sun Yi."

Sun Yi wanted to stretch out his right hand, but then he suddenly realized something, and immediately changed to his left hand, which made Wen Ziren a little overwhelmed, but he hurriedly changed his hand and shook it with him excitedly.

"Director Sun, hello, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Does Wen Ziren know Sun Yi?

The answer is yes.

The Chinese director circle is not big, let alone making some names abroad, or that sentence, Sun Yi's achievements are not very popular with the Hollywood Big Six, but it is already an existence that many directors need to look up to.

Wen Ziren has also been famous for a long time, and in 2004, his first film "Chainsaw" was released, which caused a good response, and finally this film cost only $1.2 million at the global box office exceeded $100 million, opened the Saw series, made Lionsgate make a lot of money, and also made him famous in Hollywood.

Hollywood has always chased the successful, and Wen Ziren, as an independent director, quickly won the favor of major film and television companies through "Chainsaw", and even Universal and 20th Century Fox threw olive branches to him.

He also took over the two tasks and chose two new projects to guide before and after.

One is the horror film "Dead Silence", which was invested by Universal Studios and cost about 20 million. The other is "Death Verdict", a noir action film about an honest middle-aged man who avenges his innocent dead son.

Both films were released in 2007, and they marked Wen's duty and ambition as a director: on the one hand, he insisted on his own horror style, and on the other hand, he was trying to get closer to other genre films.

But unfortunately, both films, although not badly acclaimed and won praise from some critics, failed in commercial attempts.

"Dead Silence" only got a box office of 16.81 million in North America at a cost of 20 million. After that, the situation of "Death Verdict" was even less optimistic, and the box office of the movie in North America did not even exceed 10 million.

This disappointed the investment of Universal and 20th Century Fox, and once stopped all projects with Wen Ziren.

Look, Hollywood is so realistic, once it fails, the aura of the past will quickly fade, the first moment it is still a new director sought after by everyone, the next moment it becomes unpopular, and most of them choose self-decadence in this very disparity change.

But Wen Ziren didn't, after two years of brewing, he chose to go out again, desperately took out all his savings, and invested $1.5 million to shoot this ambitious work "Latent".

With his unique, very Asian, psychologically creepy horror elements, he once again entered Hollywood.

happened to be met by Sun Yi.

Ask for a monthly pass.

Thank you!
