Chapter 649 In Cannes

In the afternoon there is also a screening of the main competition film: Hiro-eda and "Diary of the Sea Street".

In terms of public affairs, Cheng Yuan, as the chairman of the jury, of course wants to see it; in terms of private matters, he personally likes Hirokazu Kore-eda very much, and Tudou (Japan) has already launched, so he has to go to the Japanese side to support it.

So he came to the premiere red carpet of "Sea Street Diary", coincidentally, Sophie Marceau also came to see this film.

The two simply walked onto the red carpet of "Sea Street Diary" arm in arm.

This year is the fourth time for Hirokazu Kore-eda to compete for the Palme d'Or. "Sea Street Diary" has attracted much attention from the outside world from the very beginning.

Two years ago, it was Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Like Father, Like Son" that won the jury award here. In a way, it has been affirmed by Cannes.

Whether or not "Sea Street Diary" can finally become attached to Cannes is not important, the key is to consolidate its international status in the competition in Cannes.Of course, it may be possible to boost a certain actor award this time, because the world still remembers the moment when 14-year-old Yanagi Raku Yuya was pushed to the throne of actor by Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Nobody Knows".

This year is whether Hirokazu Kore-eda can create another miracle, and everyone is looking forward to it.

The movie screening hall can only accommodate 300 people, but there are at least 1000 people queuing outside.

Including viewers and licensed media.

This shows the popularity of "Haijie Diary".

Damn!

Neither Cheng Yu'an nor Sophie Marceau can speak Japanese, and the few sentences that Cheng Yu'an can speak cannot be said here.

speak French?
Neither the director of "Sea Street Diary" nor the four sisters speak French.

English?

Are you sure you can understand Li's English?
Adele frowned upon hearing this.

But there is no way, we can only communicate in English.

Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau even guessed, but they could only understand that it was Hiroshi Kore-eda and them.

Hirokazu Kore-eda is a frequent visitor to international film festivals. He has worked hard to correct his English accent, and he has slowed down a lot when speaking so that Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau can understand.

After a few people exchanged a few words on the red carpet, Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau entered the screening room.

Cheng Yu'an switched to the French channel to communicate with Sophie, and asked her what she thought of the "Story of Stories" screened earlier.

Sophie Marceau said that she likes this movie very much: "I am very moved by the color and the portrayal of women. Although it does not surpass Pasolini, it is good enough. Now I still think about the director who made this kind of movie Too little, we should encourage him."

Even Sophie Marceau is having a hard time receiving leading actresses.

In the past two years, as the feminist trend has spread throughout the West, more and more practitioners in the film industry have begun to speak out for women.

But regardless of China and the West, people in the film industry generally have a low level of education and are easily exploited.

It was all business at first, and she believed everything she yelled.

Miss Watson and Aunt May will not be named here.

It is normal for Sophie Marceau to look at "Story of Stories" this way.

Cheng Yu'an nodded to agree with Sophie Marceau: "The movie is indeed a good movie." Cheng Yu'an is sure of this.

It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who thanked the two judges Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau for coming before the official screening of the film.

The film began to be screened, and Hirokazu Kore-eda slowly told about the customs of Kamakura and the life of the four sisters.

Hirokazu Kore-eda is a director with very stable output and quality in the international film industry.

High quality, not as many shots as him; many shots are not as good quality as him.

Li An also has "The Incredible Hulk", but Hirokazu Kore-eda played very stably.

It is precisely because of Hirokazu Kore-eda's stable performance with quality and quantity that he rarely won the two highest honors of "Best Film" and "Best Director" at authoritative film festivals outside Asia.

The same is true for "Sea Street Diary", of course it is very good-looking, after all, it is Hirokazu Kore-eda, but the shortcomings are also here.

The whole film is too Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Cheng Yuan hopes to see Hirokazu Kore-eda's breakthrough.

If it was a newcomer, Cheng Yu'an would definitely praise him without hesitation if he could have such a degree of completion, but he is Hirokazu Kore-eda who has already become famous, so the requirements for him cannot be so low.

Cheng Yu'an tilted her head and said to Sophie Marceau, "It's a pity."

Sophie Marceau also understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and replied softly: "The acting skills of the four actors are not surprising."

This may be due to Hirokazu Kore-eda's stubbornness. What he wants to photograph is the ordinary life of ordinary people.

He has always loved the three elements of "family", "love" and "forgiveness".

Unlike Park Chan-wook, he is more stylized and likes to shoot extreme or fringe characters.

This is probably the reason why Park Chan-wook has a better international reputation than Kore-eda Hirokazu.

After watching the movie, Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau looked at each other, saw the answer in each other's eyes, smiled and nodded at each other.

Shaking hands with the main creators of the film crew one by one, both of them also said the words of the scene: "It's a very good movie." "I hope you gain something from the film festival."

When it came to Ayase Haruka, Cheng Yu'an rarely expressed his love for her: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

Cheng Yu'an seldom took the initiative to show affection for foreign actors, but today he has a favorable eye for Ayase Haruka.

Ayase Haruka was also very happy to hear that, although she only took Cheng Yu'an's words as polite words: "Thank you Director Cheng, I applied for "Rogue 2" last year, but unfortunately, I was not selected."

Cheng Yu'an smiled awkwardly: "My company has already landed in Japan, and I will definitely find you if there is a film. You are too." Cheng Yu'an did not neglect the other three actors.

After finishing his polite words, Cheng Yu'an left the theater.

I finished watching the two films in the main competition unit today, both of which are good films, but they are still far from the award-winning films in Cheng Yu'an's heart. Neither of the two films today could surprise him.

Coming out of the scene of "Sea Street Diary", the town of Cannes is getting dark.

Cheng Yu'an enjoys this high-intensity work of watching movies.

After getting a little air outside, Cheng Yu'an went looking for excitement.

Went to the Bunuel Hall to see the classics horror flick.

"Fear" by horror film master Julian Duvivier.

This is a movie that was released 60 years ago. Now it seems that many people are still following the old path.

Du Vivier is as dark as ever, but what he shows in the film is his complete disappointment with post-war France at that time!

No wonder the film was not popular in France at the time.

Few people in the Bunuel Hall watched this old movie, but Cheng Yuan watched it with gusto.

After I came out, I was still thinking about whether I should feel nostalgic and play the whole horror movie.

Back at the hotel, I held today's summary meeting with the other judges. This is only the first day. Everyone's opinions are quite conservative, and they only said to look at the future.

Cheng Yu'an returned to the hotel room exhausted.

As soon as he came back, he heard his assistant update him on the latest situation in Cannes: "Mr. Jia won the 'Golden Horse Carriage' Lifetime Achievement Award at the Directors' Fortnight."

"It's a good thing. The section chief won the Director's Lifetime Achievement Award when he was less than 50 years old. He should be the youngest winner of the Golden Horse Carriage Award."

Assistant Xiao Qi said: "No, Naomi Kawase is the one. In 09, she won this award at the age of 40."

Naomi Kawase is really an extremely rare talented female director, and her resume is a cool article.

At the age of 40, he won the Cannes Director's Lifetime Achievement Award. This age record may be difficult to break.

"I don't know if I can win this award at the age of 40."

The assistant smiled and said, "Will you really want it then?"

"I don't want it! I was given a lifetime achievement award at the age of 40. Who should I curse!"

"Hahahaha!"
