Chapter 626: In Cannes
If the judges' job is to watch the 19 shortlisted films and then award them, then the judges' job is too simple.
Each of the judges is a Cannes star, and in addition to reviewing films, they also have to give a variety of interviews and attend a variety of receptions.
Zhang Yuanjun's first job when he got up the next day was to be interviewed by a domestic film network.
"Hello friends from the movie network, I'm Zhang Yuanjun, and I'm in Cannes now." Zhang Yuanjun finished the program before starting the formal interview.
The reporter he also knows, Zhang Yuanjun said: "Isn't the activity of "Looking for the Dragon" in the afternoon, we can talk together in the afternoon. ”
"In the afternoon, the actor Zhang Yuanjun is counted, and now it is the judge Zhang Yuanjun."
"It's so clear." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "Then let's start." ”
"How many times have you been to Cannes?"
"I really haven't counted," Zhang Yuanjun really hasn't counted, "Anyway, it's been many times." ”
"What was it like to be a jury member for the first time?"
"In the past, when I came to Cannes as an actor, it was more about pressure, whether the audience liked my film or not, whether I was lucky enough to win an award, I used to think about this, but now that I am a judge, there will be an extra layer of responsibility on top of the pressure," Zhang Yuanjun said eloquently, "I will feel that I have to select excellent films for the audience for this 60-year-old film festival." ”
"What made you a judge at Cannes?"
"To be honest, I don't know, I didn't know Pierre Lescul beforehand, maybe I've been to Cannes a lot, so I'm a familiar face."
"What kind of films would you like to see in Cannes?"
Zhang Yuanjun said, "I didn't say what type of film I wanted to see in Cannes, I hope Cannes can surprise me." However, I watched the films of each unit last night, and the films of the exhibition and beach theater are very good this year. ”
"Is there anything you can recommend to the audience?"
"In two days, the beach theater will screen a restored version of "Chaos", and I am looking forward to the viewing effect."
"This year, two Chinese films were shortlisted for the main competition, how do you feel as a judge?"
But Zhang Yuanjun refused to answer the question: "I can't evaluate the films in the competition unit, and I haven't seen two movies." ”
The reporter asked: "This year is the year with the largest number of Chinese filmmakers on the red carpet in Cannes, and there is also a lot of controversy about yesterday's red carpet dress, what do you think about this?" ”
Zhang Yuanjun replied: "The Cannes red carpet is indeed a good stage for exposure, but it can't be exposed for the sake of exposure, Cannes always has to use movies to speak, and it may be better to walk the red carpet with works." ”
"Okay, thank you Yuanjun for accepting our interview." The interview gave so much time, Zhang Yuanjun still had film review work in the morning, so he had to leave quickly.
Zhang Yuanjun got in the car and went to the target theater, and his assistant Xiao Zhao informed him of the news of the film festival in the car.
"Fan Bingbing appeared at the press conference of "Mad Max 4", and amazed the audience in a flower fairy dress." Xiao Zhao also handed him the tablet to show the picture.
Zhang Yuanjun saw it, this dress is really beautiful.
It's a pity, it's a pity that it's not worn on my wife.
The hotel is a short walk to the cinema, five minutes by car if there is no traffic jam.
Zhang Yuanjun was still watching Fan Bingbing's interview, she said that she was a very small woman in private, and she was not overbearing about work, and said that she did not pay attention to Zhang Xinyu's Northeast padded jacket.
That's not your style.
Zhang Xinyu said yesterday that it was completely different from you.
Is this going to let her go?
It seems that love really makes people grow.
Zhang Yuanjun wants to watch the first movie released in the main competition unit in the morning, "The Story of the Story".
Zhang Yuanjun did not attend the film premiere press conference, and entered the venue early to sit down and wait for the screening.
"The Story of the Story" is adapted from the Italian classical fairy tale collection "Five Days", the art of the movie is very classical, and the fairy tales of each unit are also very good-looking.
Zhang Yuanjun will think of the situation in China when he watches such a movie.
There are almost no domestic directors doing similar work, except for "Liao Zhai", domestic directors don't seem to be very keen on adapting or remaking classical stories now.
"The Story of the Story" is good, but it is not enough to look good, and director Matteo Galloni did not make a dazzling innovation, and the art was directly based on European classical oil paintings, which his predecessors had done well enough. The adaptation of the story is not a novelty, no new points are proposed, the actors are good actors, they have fulfilled their tasks, and that's it.
Zhang Yuanjun did not give "The Story of the Story" a low score in his heart, this is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and it is perfect to make a good impression as an opening.
The reporter saw Zhang Yuanjun after the screening and wanted to ask him how he felt about watching the movie, but Zhang Yuanjun only smiled and said, "You know what I can't say." Then he left.
During the whole process, I did not communicate with reporters, nor did I communicate with the creators of the film.
After watching the movie, he wants to go to the beach before noon to shoot the photo blockbuster he wants to shoot as an actor.
"Hey, why are you there?" Zhang Yuanjun got out of the car and saw that his wife was also taking pictures on the beach.
"I'll take a photo." Liu Yifei said.
"I'm going to take a photo too."
Liu Yifei's photographer smiled: "Are you two really husband and wife?" How do I feel that you two don't know each other? ”
"Documented, real couple." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
Real couples will not know all of each other's itineraries.
Zhang Yuanjun first watched Liu Yifei take pictures for a while, and then returned to his beach to take pictures.
Taking pictures is very fast, and it can be done in ten or twenty minutes.
When Zhang Yuanjun finished filming, Liu Yifei was already waiting for him.
"Come, I'll take two pictures with my wife."
Zhang Yuanjun's photographer quit and said with a smile: "This is not my job, you have to calculate the money separately." ”
"There must be a limit to being stingy, shoot quickly." Zhang Yuanjun didn't care about the photographer's unreasonable request.
"Kissing hot spots, what is the shame between husband and wife." The photographer said, "Why don't you two kiss each other?" ”
"So?" Zhang Yuanjun pecked his wife.
Liu Yifei was sneak attacked and giggled.
"Be enthusiastic, and don't send this photo out anyway." This is a temporary photo of Zhang Yuanjun's husband and wife's life, not the content of the work.
Liu Yifei said: "So? As she spoke, she hooked her husband's neck and kissed him on the lips.
"Lipstick." Zhang Yuanjun wiped the lipstick printed on Liu Yifei's mouth, a little disgusted.
"Yes," the photographer affirmed, "a little emotional, a little more enthusiastic." ”
Liu Yifei smiled and said to her husband: "Be enthusiastic, come on." ”
Zhang Yuanjun wrapped his hands around Liu Yifei's waist, lifted her up, and raised her above his head, Liu Yifei screamed, and then lowered his head to meet her husband's lips.
Click!
"Beautiful!" The photographer praised, "Hey, okay, it's over, you two don't kiss." ”
The two parted.
The photographer said: "I want to go back to the hotel in person, this seaside is full of people." ”
"You let us kiss it." Liu Yifei threw the pot to the photographer.
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei looked at the photos they had just taken, and they were very satisfied, so they ended the shooting and went to lunch together. (End of chapter)
