"Well, we're not talking about the system, we're talking about movies, and please try to talk about movie-related topics." He Fang waited for everyone's applause to fall and added.

"OK, why are there two seemingly separate plots before and after? It feels like the first half has more impact, and the second half is like the first half of the weakened version. The moderator asked.

"Your question was discussed by our team before the film was made, but they couldn't beat me. Personally, I think that one extreme mistake does not mean that the other extreme is correct, in fact, what I want to express in the whole film is a contradiction, society is contradictory, people are also contradictory, and the male protagonist will also be contradictory when he is for his own interests. ”

Of course, simply extending the plot in the bachelor hotel in the first half and strengthening the conflict in it may make the conflict more intense, it will also make it more problematic, and even the ending will be more in line with everyone's expectations. However, is an art film an auteur film? If it was a commercial film, I would have done that. ”

He Fang spread his hands after speaking, and then smiled.

"Haha......" The audience laughed too, because they understood.

What does he mean is that if it is a standard commercial film practice, but now it is an extension of his heart, his stated point of view - contradiction.

The host nodded, "Okay, then I'd like to ask, then I'll ask the two actresses." Bingbing Fan, the actor of Li Nina, OK, I want to ask, are you really blind? I see you in the film as if you are not blind, can you tell me the answer? ”

"Haha......" The audience laughed, and Fan Bingbing also laughed.

She picked up the microphone: "I don't know, but the director told me to play a person who pretends to be blind, and I asked the director if he said that she was blind and pretended, and he didn't tell me the answer, and he said he didn't know either." ”

"Haha......" The audience laughed because of the director who played a slippery head.

"He, did you do this on purpose? Is she blind or not? The moderator asked.

"I really don't know, I actually want her to be blind, because then the love is more sincere, but I think it is more ironic that she may not be blind. So, I couldn't make up my mind, so I asked her to play a person who pretended to be blind. ”

The host stopped doing it, he waved his hand: "Wow, director, you can't do this, your hesitation will make people have no standard answer." ”

"There is no standard answer, it may be what he wants, in fact, I am quite satisfied with this setting, sometimes uncertainty is also a kind of advanced art." Fan Bingbing replied hurriedly.

"Then aren't you afraid of being called a selfish ghost? Just like in the movie, you not only let the male protagonist hunt the hare for you, but also let other men help you hunt the hare, and after learning that you are blind, you say things like 'why isn't he blind'. The moderator asked.

Fan Bingbing smiled, not caring about the host's troubles at all, "That's because you don't understand women." ”

The host was stunned and spread his hands, meaning I don't understand women? I've talked to dozens of women, if not hundreds.

"Women sometimes need a vanity that is contested by the opposite sex, and at the same time, women also need to have a feeling of being loved by many men. So, she would provoke a lot of men to help her hunt for food and watch them compete. It's just that in this process, Li Nina loves Ma Wei more. ”

"When Li Nina's eyes are blind, her selfish side comes out, she herself loses the ability to seduce men and falls from the clouds to the dust, which is a very tragic experience, just like the woman who was glamorous one moment in the plot of many movies, and the next moment she became a prostitute who everyone can bully because of her death."

"A woman's position needs a man to support it, and when she loses the capital to support a man's position, it is a sign that her nightmare is about to begin."

"However, after Li Nina was blind in "Single Zoo", the male protagonist Ma Wei still did not give up, and at this time Li Nina was sure that the male protagonist really loved her, so she understood what true love was.

As soon as Fan Bingbing finished speaking, the audience applauded, and what he said was really good.

The host also applauded and nodded, "It seems that I really don't understand women." ”

Fan Bingbing smiled, and the host continued to pick up the microphone: "OK, let's ask the actor of the other heroine Liang Wenyan, Bingbing Li, okay, the two of you have the same name and different surnames?" Lee, what do you think about you as a villain? What does the director ask of you? ”

Li Bingbing smiled politely.

"First of all, my character is not a villain. The director wanted me to play the role like a real leader, and he told me that this was not a villain. ”

The host nodded incredulously and motioned for Li Bingbing to continue.

"First of all, my character seems to be ruthless, but I am protecting most of the team, and the real leader is not so tender, and once emotional, then the team will be scattered. So, the rules need to be upheld, which is why the single organization ignores the injured members, cuts the lips of those who challenge the rules, and blinds Li Nina. ”

When Li Bingbing said this, not only the host, but also the audience agreed.

"Secondly, as an ordinary person, I also have family affection. Therefore, I also try to go home to my parents as much as possible, even at the expense of deceiving them. ”

"In the end, although there is only one scene in the movie, I was captured spending a lot of time with a pig. Why? The movie never talks about why I joined this organization and how I became a leader. Maybe this scene of me getting along with a pig is one of the reasons, who can say that this pig is not my relative, or the person I love has changed? Maybe it's because I hate them for turning my loved one or lover into a pig that I'm organizing singles to fight against them? ”

Li Bingbing's words made many people suddenly realize, but this detail was not noticed.

"And, of course, the most ingenious. I asked the director, did I really design to blind Li Nina just to uphold the rules? Or what? After all, she is one of my good friends, I am a leader, but also a woman, I am emotional at heart, and I have not reached the point of being ruthless and unrighteous for the sake of rules. ”

The host nodded, "What did the director say?" It can't be that I don't know again, right? ”

"Haha......" The audience laughed again.

"No, he told me, you act like you're really helping your best friend really treat her eyes, but scaring her on the way back, just telling her that love in this world is not so credible. In fact, doing so can not only break up their relationship, but also maintain the rules of the team. It's just that Li Nina's reaction was fierce. ”

"Wow......" The whole audience coaxed.

"So, Li Nina is not blind, is she?" The moderator asked.

"I don't know, the director just asked me to act out this feeling, and didn't tell me what the truth of the matter was."

Li Bingbing spread his hands.

Everyone looked at where He Fang smiled bitterly, and had to pick up the microphone.

"Can I say I don't know, do you believe me?"

"Shh~"

"I really don't know, I just think it's a little more artistic."

……

Next, the crew of "Single Zoo" talked about a lot of interesting things about creation, as well as what the whole film wants to express in other aspects.

Of course, the most important thing is the interaction with media people and film critics.

Everyone asked questions of concern and showed great praise for the film.

Wang Xiaoshuai even said that this is the most creative Chinese literary film he has ever seen, and there is no one, this kind of creativity is formal creativity.

Chinese literary films have always been in the basic real environment to excavate contradictions and art to criticize, but He Fang's "Single Zoo" has gone beyond the scope of the real environment, standing in another space and perspective to criticize society and human nature, and explore the methods of art.

Wang Xiaoshuai's evaluation is not high, but it basically tells the truth.

In terms of creativity, directors in the East are indeed inferior to those in the West. Eastern directors only tell stories based on reality, while Western directors are relatively good at jumping out of the framework of reality to tell deeper stories than reality.

Obviously, He Fang's "Single Zoo" is such a story, and Wang Xiaoshuai even thinks that it may be related to He Fang's film education in the West.

"Single Zoo" really shocked Wang Xiaoshuai, and he couldn't wait to pull He Fang to drink from morning to night, and then chat about the movie.

It's a pity that he is not available, and he is not available.

"Single Zoo" has two more shows today, and they have to go to the stage to sign a photo with the fans or something.

In addition, now they are full of media interviews like Wang Xiaoshuai, and it is estimated that everyone will be free in a few days.

After the media session, many fans, as well as film directors and actors, wanted to talk to them about where they went.

He Fang is also busy, saying all kinds of words of thanks, showing a professional smile, and signing names on different materials.

was so busy for a while, and it was time for lunch, and the crew also went to find a place to eat. As a result, I met a group of filmmakers, and then everyone got to know each other and touched two glasses of wine.

In Cannes now, everything is made into movies.

Even some filmmakers followed them, but these people were sent to Wang Zhonglei, and he also had a rare opportunity to mix with the film festival.

It's just right, let him fool those film companies.

Anyway, the bottom line for him is: all hanging, wait for the closing ceremony, if you win the price, then talk, if you don't win, then actively sign a contract.

Everyone understands the routine, so the filmmakers are also familiar with each other.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still one more show of "Single Zoo", so they still had three hours to be interviewed by the media in the middle.

The first media is "Cinema Handbook", and there is no way that this magazine has a special relationship with Cannes, so this first one can't help but give face.

He Fang wants to be interviewed by "Film Manual", and the leading actors can be interviewed by domestic or Hong Kong and Taiwan media.

For example, the media in Taiwan Island Province focused on interviewing Li Pingbin, and domestic Zha Lang and Sohu interviewed Shuangbing.

The interview with the "Film Handbook" was in a small room specially arranged in the Palais du Cinémath, which may have been specially arranged by the organizing committee of the film festival for the "Film Handbook".

After He Fang was invited in, sitting inside was Nuel Burdo, one of the editors of the "Film Handbook", and the two of them officially began after a cold chat.

"OK, Director He Fang, thank you for accepting our interview. As a rookie director, what is it like to be shortlisted for Cannes for the first time to make a literary film? ”

He Fang didn't expect that the other party's first question was that he was a little surprised when he touted Cannes, but if he wanted to win other people's awards, it was nothing to praise two sentences.

"Of course I'm very excited and honoured, and I know that many directors have made many films that don't necessarily make it to Cannes. Cannes is a place where you only talk about artistic talent, not qualifications, and I like it. ”

He Fang answered very neatly.

"Well, I heard that when you made your first film last year, you said that you wanted to make a producer-centered commercial film, and opposed a director-centered auteur film? Why do you support commercial films but not auteur films? ”

He Fang really didn't expect such a sharp question.
