Chapter 281: Premiere

Affected by the global financial crisis, the traffic in the Cannes Film Festival market this year has decreased by at least 3%.

And parties, cocktail parties and dinners, the filmmakers can also reduce all of them.

But after all, it's still a movie event, and the small town of Cannes is still bustling.

At 7:42 p.m. local time, the crew of "Detachment" walked on the red carpet of the opening of the film festival.

"Xinlang Entertainment News The 62nd Cannes Film Festival opened, directed by Li Yang, Zhang Yuanjun, Huang Lu, Hui Yinghong, Ye Tong and others starring in the movie "Detachment" will premiere on the afternoon of the 18th, the picture shows the male and female protagonists of the film Zhang Yuanjun and Huang Lu.

The crew of "Detachment" rubbed on the red carpet for five or six minutes, allowing the reporters to take enough photos before entering the movie palace.

This year's opening film is "Flying House Travel", and Zhang Yuanjun watched it with relish.

The first thing the audience to meet in the main competition unit was Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Drunk Night".

Zhang Yuanjun, as a member of the Chinese-speaking army, naturally wanted to go to the court.

This is also the first time he has met the creators of "Spring Breeze", and Lou Ye, Tan Zhuo, and Qin Hao give him a normal feeling.

However, Chen Sicheng is different.

First of all, Zhang Yuanjun did not know Chen Sicheng before, and the two had no contacts, so there was no stereotypical prejudice.

But today Chen Sicheng gave him the feeling that he was a thief with confidence!

Self-confidence is of course a very good trait, but Chen Sicheng's head is raised, the corners of his mouth are smiling, and the hair may have been baked in oil or unwashed at all, he gave Zhang Yuanjun the feeling of "look at how handsome I am, look at how good I am".

However, Chen Sicheng's attitude is quite modest, and he communicates with Zhang Yuanjun and other guests very friendly.

Oh, by the way, he wore a very sassy orange suit at the premiere press conference.

There are not many people who came to the premiere of "Spring Breeze" today, and the crew of "Detachment" is Zhang Yuanjun alone.

Europe is more receptive to literary films than any other market in the world.

But in other words, European audiences sprayed movies without mercy.

The premiere of "Spring Breeze Drunk Night" encountered an unprecedented embarrassing scene.

After the film was screened, the audience booed, no one applauded, and some viewers didn't even want to participate in the later sharing session and left the venue early.

The creators of "Spring Breeze" really couldn't hold their faces, and finally accepted the interview with reporters.

Zhang Yuanjun left the scene with his assistant, and Xiao Zhao took pity on them: "I want to be coaxed like this on stage, I don't have the face to stand." ”

"You wait to see tomorrow's house book, these European journalists are even more ugly to scold people." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Don't do this when we premiere, if it spreads to China, we won't be able to mix it up."

"Can't stand it?" Zhang Yuanjun said, "If you can't swallow this, don't mix it up." ”

As a public figure, the work is publicly disseminated, to put it mildly, half of the money earned is scolded money.

Xiao Zhao thought for a while: "It's also Ha, Yifei survived being said like that." ”

Sure enough, the next day's film festival house program gave "Spring Breeze Drunk Evening" a score of 1.6, and film critics said that the film showed XA too much, which was untenable poetry.

I heard that Lou Ye left Cannes the next afternoon and went to Paris.

On the 16th, Li An's "Making Woodstock" premiered, Zhang Yuanjun also attended, the film was badly reviewed, the house book 2.0, and Li An flew out of Cannes on the same day.

On the morning of the 17th, Du Qifeng's "Revenge" premiered, Zhang Yuanjun was invited to attend, and after the screening, the film critics reacted that "the movie lacks surprises and does not have Du Qifeng's previous creativity", with a score of 2.1.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yuanjun went to the press conference of the Philippine movie "Genaeri", and the movie was scored 1.2 points by the house book, which was lower than "Spring Breeze".

"Am I toxic or is the movie toxic?" Zhang Yuanjun is stupid.

Is there really poisonous milk in the world?

Li Yang joked: "If you don't come tomorrow, I'm a little worried now." ”

Zhang Yuanjun defended himself: "I just went to watch a movie, I don't say a word, what does it matter to me if the house magazine has a bad review." ”

"I don't know, but for now, the common denominator of these four movies is that you have all watched them." Huang Lu also joined in the joke.

"If there really is such a mysterious power," Zhang Yuanjun said, "I will give him a high score and let the media give us a high score and get him a 3.5 3.6." ”

On the afternoon of the 18th, the crew of "Detachment" was waiting for it.

All Chinese-language media who came to Cannes this year have received invitations from the filmmakers.

Of course, Zhang Ziyi had to attend, and the judges of the main competition unit came with 3 people, namely Isabelle Huppert, the chairman of the jury, Shu Qi, an actor from China's Bay Island, and Lee Cangdong, a South Korean director.

Chen Kun and Zhao Yanzi, who came to Cannes to promote the new film "Mulan", were invited to come, and Liang Chaowei, Li An and Cai Mingliang made a surprise appearance.

Chen Sicheng and Tan Zhuo of the crew of "Spring Breeze" also appeared at the premiere,

MK2 also invited many international media and filmmakers to premiere the film.

At the press conference before the premiere, the creators of "Detachment" took questions from reporters.

Li Yang, of course, shoulders the most important responsibility as a director: "The film was done quite quickly, and it was prepared after the Cannes Film Festival in '07. …… This is the first time I have worked with Zhang Yuanjun, although he is young, his performance surprised me, he interprets the characters very accurately, and his expression is very smooth, which saves us a lot of time for shooting. …… We are not criticizing anything, but we are expounding, expounding such a phenomenon, such a person's story. ”

Of course, the actors also have to respond and praise each other.

After the press conference, everyone entered the Palais du Cinema to watch the film.

After the 114-minute film moved to Hong Kong Island, the writers added another spiritual trait of mainland immigrants seeking identity on Hong Kong Island to the protagonist.

It makes the whole character of the protagonist more story-telling and his identity more complex.

The theme story of "Detachment" takes place in school, but as soon as the characters change like this, the story pattern opens up and has a touch of timelessness.

After the film was played, the audience burst into warm applause!

"Good!" This is the cheers of the Chinese-language media.

β€œBravo!”

Huppert, who was sitting in the front row, also gave a standing ovation and nodded frequently.

"This young man is incredible." Li An said to Cai Mingliang, "The 24-year-old acting skills are so mature, it is a bit of still water." ”

Cai Mingliang nodded in agreement: "Judging from "Detachment", the younger generation of Bay Island has not kept up with him. It's not something that film school or director can teach on set. ”

Li An said softly: "God appreciates food." ”

The theme of "Detachment" is loneliness and redemption, and Europe especially eats this.

When Huppert left the movie palace, he shook hands with the creators and specially said to Zhang Yuanjun: "I like your performance." ”

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and thanked.

And Shu Qi winked at a few people, smiled and didn't speak.

Li Cangdong said in plain English: "I like your film."

The grand occasion of the premiere of "Detachment" was sent back to China by the domestic media as soon as possible:

On the afternoon of the 18th local time, the film "Detachment" directed by Li Yang and starring Zhang Yuanjun premiered at the official film palace of the film festival, and before 1 o'clock, there was a long queue outside the film palace to buy tickets, and the film party invited many well-known filmmakers and film media to participate, and the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, Huppert, also appeared on the scene, "Detachment" is about ....... After the screening of the film, there was warm applause and cheers in the Cinema Palace, and the audience and the media spoke highly of the film after the screening. Li Yang and Zhang Yuanjun both said that their hanging hearts could finally be put down. ”

Early the next morning, the festival schedule was updated, and a total of 3 films were released in the main competition on the 18th.

"The Antichrist", 1.6 points.

"Looking for Eric", 2.9 points.

"Detachment" from China, with a score of 3.1, ranked third.

The domestic media finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was a film on the stage, and some of the drafts were written this time.
