Zhang Yuanjun is still very diligent as a judge, he watched the premieres of the two films in the main competition on the first day, finished watching "The Story of the Story" in the morning, and went to the premiere of "Haijie Diary" in the afternoon.

still didn't say hello to the creator and reporters, Kore-eda Hirokazu didn't even know that Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in the theater.

It's good to be Hirokazu Kore-eda, but it's not enough.

Anyone who knows professional knowledge of film must admit that Hirokazu Kore-eda was too deeply influenced by Hou Xiaoxian.

Kore-eda Hirokazu is also not shy about it, and has praised Hou Xiaoxian as his "spiritual father" on many public occasions.

This is also an important reason why Kore-eda Hirokazu has never been able to win an award at international film festivals, and he has not been able to break through the influence that Hou Xiaoxian has brought to him.

"Sea Street Diary" is also very good, but for fans who have watched a lot of Kore-eda Hirokazu movies, it seems to be a normal level for Kore-eda Hirokazu.

Hirokazu Kore-eda really likes the theme of "the absence of a father" too much.

This is the case with "Nobody Knows", "Like a Father, Like a Son", and "Sea Street Diary".

In Zhang Yuanjun's evaluation system, this year's "Haijie Diary" is not as good as "Nobody Knows" 11 years ago.

However, the portrayal of the four sisters is really good, and this movie should be very popular in the literary circle.

After Zhang Yuanjun finished reading "Haijie Diary", he hurried to the press conference site of "Looking for the Dragon".

The crew put an old jeep in the 80s at the press conference to create an atmosphere.

Zhang Yuanjun arrived at the scene at the right time, five minutes before the opening of the press conference.

The crew released a 3-minute trailer at the press conference and did not allow the media to shoot it.

Several creators shared their experiences on stage.

Liu Yifei said that she had never played the role of Shirley Yang before, and thanked the director for giving her this opportunity.

Zhang Yuanjun joked that he had been playing small-budget and literary films for several years, and thanked Ye Ning for finding him to make a commercial blockbuster, "so that I will not be too angry".

Zhang Yuanjun's words caused the media at the scene to laugh constantly, and Zhang Yuanjun was angry, which is called unreasonable.

In the interview session after the press conference, the main creators, whether they were actors or director Wu Erfan, were asked by reporters what they thought of Lu Chuan's "Nine-Story Demon Tower".

Moreover, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" will be released on the National Day file first, and the two films are bound to be compared.

Ulfan said: "Leave it to the audience, I hope that both are high-quality movies and are accepted by the audience." ”

Your fan does Tai Chi like this, but the actors don't.

The reporter asked Zhang Yuanjun what it would be like to be compared with Zhao Youting by the audience when the time comes.

Zhang Yuanjun nodded with a smile and said, "I should be able to watch it." ”

Everyone can hear that Zhang Yuanjun is yin and yang, what will happen to him and Zhao Youting, this question should be asked to Zhao Youting, he knows that he and Zhang Yuanjun are playing the same role, and the movie is in the same year, what will he think.

And Liu Yifei is not worried about the comparison between herself and Yao Chen: "Don't worry at all, we just play our roles well, and we can't play a good show with the psychology of comparison, and we won't compare." "It has to be Liu Yifei.

But her sentence became "Liu Yifei talks about Lu Chuan's version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp": I'm not afraid to compare with Yao Chen.

There are no big gold teeth and Ding Sitian in "Nine-Story Demon Tower", so Xia Yu and AB were not asked this question.

The main creator of "Looking for the Dragon" did a full afternoon of wheel interviews, the interview with the movie network was completed, and the Phoenix network came again, and there were more than a dozen media such as Xinlang, Fox Factory, Weibo Movie, and Time Network.

It wasn't until dinner time that a few people were let go.

Before leaving, they were stressed again that the crew will hold a themed cocktail party tomorrow night, and everyone will have to participate.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei still have activities after dinner, Zhang Yuanjun will attend LV's cocktail party before 8 o'clock in the evening, and today's review meeting will be held after 8 o'clock to exchange views with other judges on today's movie.

Liu Yifei also has a charity dinner and two interviews to do in the evening.

Zhang Yuanjun returned to the hotel room at 11 o'clock in the evening, and Liu Yifei had just taken a shower and lay down.

"I'm so tired." Liu Yifei sat up, "How are you?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun glanced at her, and Liu Yifei said, "I don't talk to you." You can't even defend your wife! ”

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "I'm sorry, professional habits." The first day was okay, just two films, and everyone exchanged and exchanged views on watching the movie. "No matter how much Zhang Yuanjun is, he won't say anything.

Liu Yifei didn't inquire anymore.

…………

Time passed day by day, Zhang Yuanjun became more and more busy, busy watching films and participating in activities and interviews during the day, and on the latest day, he came back at 2 o'clock in the morning and almost 3 o'clock in the morning, saying that the 9 judges and Pierre quarreled in the conference room.

No matter more, Zhang Yuanjun won't talk about it.

After Liu Yifei finished the activity of "Looking for the Dragon", she was much more leisurely.

Her main job in Cannes this year was to promote "Dragon Quest", and there were a lot of brand events and cocktail dinners.

She is reluctant to put too much energy into so-called "social situations".

On the morning of the 23rd, MK2, with Zhang Yuanjun as the protagonist, held a new film press conference in Cannes and officially announced "Redemption".

The scene of the press conference was very simple, and the highlight was the two concept posters of "Redemption".

The general manager of MK2 and Zhang Yuanjun appeared and announced the new film plan:

"Zhang is the only actor we have worked with in China," Natana Kamiz said on stage, emphasizing the importance of Zhang Yuanjun, "He is a talented actor and his diligence is unquestionable." When he showed me the script for "Redemption", it reminded me of the scene in '07 when he sent the script for "Detachment" to my office. "Redemption" will undoubtedly be an excellent work. ”

Zhang Yuanjun introduced the synopsis of "Redemption" at the scene, and said at the end: "We have seen too much forgiveness and letting go, sometimes watching a movie, I know that this story will be a happy ending after seeing half of it, and several characters will reconcile." Come on, such a story is really boring. ”

Zhang Yuanjun's last sentence amused the Chinese and foreign reporters present.

MK2 didn't announce other creators other than Zhang Yuanjun on the spot - because there really wasn't.

Many films released in Cannes are also like this, and if there is an idea, they will come to the development conference to attract investment, and everyone is used to it.

Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" was like this, carrying two posters and coming to Cannes for a development conference.

However, domestic media found that Huayi's boss Wang Zhonglei was also sitting at the press conference, speculating whether Huayi would participate in "Redemption".

"Redemption" was released a little too late, the trading market was almost empty, and most studios had already used up their share by this time.

However, there is still no shortage of overseas buyers for Zhang Yuanjun's literary films, and MK2 still received several investors after the press conference.

Some come to book the issuance in advance, and some want to invest a sum of money to participate in the shares.

The next day, the last day of the Cannes Film Festival! The award ceremony is coming! (End of chapter)
