Chapter 275 Red Carpet (1/5)
The routine of making an Olympian art film: Starting from the Cannes Film Festival, we will go all the way to major art film festivals, accumulate enough reputation, and then strive for the Oscars.
Or start working in Venice…
Anyway, I have to take advantage of the three major European ones...
The routines are the same, the rest depends on the means!
In fact, there are many things like winning the prize!
For example, in Cannes this year, if the judges chairman is settled, it will not be a problem to win a prize.
A little difficult...
This year's jury chair is Isabel Huppel...
A filmmaker mingled in Europe.
Influenced by the French New Wave, I love some dark characters - characters who challenge the bottom line of ethics, such as "Piano Teacher", "Mother, the Limits of Love"...
So, she has never had a good impression of Hollywood movies.
This is going to be cleared...
Anyway, News Corporation is good at eavesdropping...
OK, this is a joke.
But even if the Palme d'Or was not awarded to Chen Mengxi, at least he would have to give Little Lizi a trophy for the Best Actor.
He attracted at least half of the media present...
There is another problem. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the French New Wave. The Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee paid tribute to Antonioni's classic 1959 film "Adventure" on the official poster. The Organizing Committee also specially screened the Palme d'Order of Fellini's 1960 Palme d'Or, and also screened the documentary "The Maker of Sweet Life" of "Sweet Life"...
So, obviously...
This year's Cannes Grand Prix will inevitably tend toward the New Wave style.
What is a new wave?
New Wave, also known as the film manual school, author movies: based on the "Movie Manual", under the influence of Bazin's theory and Italian neo-realistic films, most of them use biographical techniques to record or express an event. Some characters often collect screenwriters, directors, dialogues, music, and even produce in person, film non-political films, trying to sincerely describe men and women and love, exposing hypocrisy.
Let’s put it this way, it’s separated from the traditional Hollywood narrative!
Whether it is rhythm or narrative, the new wave has become the last one yesterday.
The New Wave actually only has about thirty years of artistic life, but mainland China saw this when it opened its eyes, and a so-called sixth generation forced him to continue.
A bunch of film critics have pushed it into the so-called palace of art again...
In fact, those who really understand movies should be thanked by New Wave for their pioneering and promotion of film techniques, such as jump cuts, such as color...
As for their movies, to be honest, most of them don't understand them very much...
...
As the opening film, "Manchester by the Sea" naturally attracted much attention and is also one of the key films recommended by the Cannes Film Festival.
It is also the focus of today's red carpet unit!
The last one is the finale of course the jury...
Leonardo and Logan Leman are all black suits, and Chen Mengxi is the same...
Generally, you have to wear a suit and play with it when attending such occasions.
This is a kind of etiquette!
During the interview, the reporter almost ignored Chen Mengxi and Logan Leman, and pointed them all at Little Lizi:
"This story explores the evil side of human nature, as well as the distance and gap that always exists between people, especially those who have suffered the death of their loved ones."
"The script is well written and I was immediately attracted."
"When the script is good enough, things are almost half successful. When you, the author of the script, work together, you will find that they do better than the actors. Chen is an outstanding director and communicates with him very smoothly. My task is to evoke all kinds of emotions at any time and make the play more convincing because the lines have been written!"
"I spend most of my time in this character, like water flowing into the ocean. Sometimes you're completely underwater, flooded by it, sometimes you're just standing there, water splashing on your ankles. But you're in it all the time..."
As a director, Chen Mengxi must have to say a few words.
"I don't want to imagine how Leon will play in advance. I want him to play freely and adapt to the situation."
"What this movie can be made depends entirely on Leon..."
"Why can one's death resonate so much among some groups while others live their lives indifferently. These stories may all involve personal guilt, but this is not what I want to convey the most. Manchester by the Sea looks more like talking about guilt, but it's also about sadness, loyalty, affairs and love."
"The guilty one survives...is almost the same, you should be more understanding after watching the movie."
After talking about this, Chen Mengxi led the two to the front of the movie palace, posing for the reporters to take photos...
Chen Mengxi looked around, then saw a huge poster, and couldn't help but take pictures of Little Lizi: "Is that "Star Trek"?"
"right!"
“…Damn…”
"Star Trek", the film erected a huge poster at the supreme point of Cannes, and can be seen almost every corner of the small town of Cannes.
Too conspicuous!
Too rich...
It costs at least one million dollars to hang such a poster for a week!
On the steps of the Movie Palace are many famous directors and actors from all over the world. Apart from Li Mi and Du Qifeng, most of the other Chen Mengxi do not know each other and have no interest in making friends...
Including Quentin Tarantino…
There is no other reason, suspected of insulting Bruce Lee - there is no need to wash it. Others' daughters came out to express their insults, and some people said that they were vitiligo...
By the way, his film shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit is "Inglorious Bastard"...
A drama about anti-God God.
Sometimes I really don’t understand the brain circuit of many people. “Inglorious Bastard” is a magical film, and “Raising Hands” is just rubbish…
...
Walking to the judges, Chen Mengxi and Isabel Huppel shook hands first. The two of them simply greeted each other without saying much.
This kind of public relations work must be done privately...
"Teacher Shu!"
"Don't reduce my teacher, you are the teacher..."
Well, there is Shu Qi, yes, that Shu Qi...
"I heard that your film declared war on Director Wang Jiawei?"
“…Ah? I haven’t said it…”
"hehe…"
Shu Qi smiled and didn't say anything...
She made her debut with Wang Jing, and she probably yearned for Wang Jiawei.
Chen Mengxi is not making a living in Hong Kong and has not even gone to the Academy Awards. Naturally, he is not sure what "Manchester by the Sea" has been reported by local media...
Avenger image.
Chen Mengxi, a person who proves to Wang Jiawei that he understands movies...
‘The City of Love on the Seaside is shortlisted for Cannes, and mainland wealthy people may bribe the judges’…
Chapter completed!
