China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 85 "Singles Zoo" Cannes Premiere

How about the movie "Sunshine Chongqing"?

The pace was so slow that he wanted to make people fall asleep. He Fang felt that if he cut the whole plot, he could finish it in three to ten minutes at most, or even no more than four to ten minutes.

It's a fixed long shot. I haven't seen any changes in the shot for a long time. I'm really anxious.

Wang Xiaoshuai's movies have a theme, that is, father and son. Whether it is "Sunshine in Chongqing" or "Forever and Forever" many years later, his theme can be seen.

Just like Jia Kechang's film theme is the combination of cities and towns, Zhang Yimou's hometown, Chen Qige's focus on traditional art, etc., every director will have a theme.

Wang Xiaoshuai's theme is father and son, and his understanding of father and son is always the separation of life and death first, and then the relationship between father and son.

Alas, I really don't know why he has this complex.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with anyone.

"Sunshine in Chongqing" can only be said to be a neat and standard literary film, the general style of the sixth generation of directors.

Gray tone, long shot, slow pace...

This kind of movie can be shortlisted probably thanks to Xu Xiaoming, the producer of this film in Taiwan Island Province. He Fang can’t remember. It's not that there are funds over there.

After 114 minutes of play, the audience applauded for about ten minutes. It seems that this is a standard, and the premiere of the film that is shortlisted for the main competition of the film festival will give this treatment.

Wang Xiaoshuai led the creators together and bowed their hands together, and then went on stage to answer questions with the media.

Of course, He Fang and the others did not intervene, but the domestic media will not let them go.

After the media meeting was over, the media from Zha Lang Entertainment came over to ask questions.

"Director He Fang, what do you think after watching "Sunshine Chongqing"? Can you talk to us?"

"It's an excellent movie with high quality, and it's no problem to win the award. The main thing is that Director Wang's father-son relationship with middle-aged people shocked me a lot. At the same time, he also analyzed a new problem in China: the living conditions of families in different places. .”

"Obviously a father and son, because life separates them from each other, and when they meet again, the yin and yang are separated. The father wants to know his son's past only through other people's mouths. This is a kind of sadness. I think Director Wang's filming is very good, The director's skills are very deep, and the audiovisual is even more extreme..."

He Fang's continuous praise not only stunned the reporter, but also stunned the people who came with him from "Single Zoo". They looked at each other, could it be that He Fang is a very experienced director of literary films?However, Director He is Director He, and he really has deep insights.

Everyone in the crew of "Rizhao Chongqing" is also very excited. Although He Fang is a newcomer, but his film can be shortlisted in Cannes, which shows that his level is not bad. He can boast of "Rizhao Chongqing", which shows that "Rizhao Chongqing" is really good , Who has the content to boast.

Then there were about seven or eight other domestic media who asked questions, and He Fang answered them one by one. Anyway, they were all boasting, and he also introduced his own movie.

For "Single Zoo", He Fang said that if he can be shortlisted this time, he will burn his incense. He doesn't expect to win an award. The winner should be "Sunshine Chongqing".

And said that he is still young, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

Wang Xiaoshuai was even a little excited and came over to shake hands with He Fang, "Director He, I didn't expect you to really see it."

"I said that I am here to study, and I will definitely read it seriously..."

The two sides bragged for a while, and then made an appointment to have dinner together at night and then left separately. After all, there are other movies being screened, so we should go and see them now while we are excited.

The reason why He Fang helped play "Sunshine Chongqing" is not because they are all Chinese, so they can't make each other feel worse, right?Whose person was lost?

At least he wants to establish an image in front of the public as a Chinese filmmaker who knows the general idea and is sensible.

There is not much to say in the next few days. He Fang accepted several media interview invitations, but they all arranged interviews after the release of "Single Zoo".

Of course, so do the actors.

The media are also smart. It is impossible to come to interview you before the movie is released. What are you asking?
Fortunately, everyone waited a long time, and soon May 5 will arrive. Also at 16:[-] in the morning, the media venue of "Single Zoo" will start.

On this day, the crew of "Single Zoo" was all dressed neatly, and they were still a little nervous.

"Director He, we haven't seen the finished film yet, what is it like? Could it be..." The nervous Liu Yan became a little confused and said something vague.

"Haha, don't worry, it will bring you surprises." He Fang comforted them.

After going to the screening palace, the main creators of "Single Zoo" stood at the door and began to welcome the media and colleagues who came to join in the show, and of course some audiences.

Because today is Sunday, many Chinese students and Chinese came to support.

Most of the people came for the soldiers, taking photos with them and asking for their autographs.

Of course, as a return gift, all the crew of "Sunshine Chongqing" also came, and they were also very curious about what kind of film the young director He Fang made that could be shortlisted for Cannes.

There are 300 to 500 media representatives from various countries, as well as nearly a dozen Chinese media, as well as hundreds of film critics from different countries, and there are nearly [-] audiences, totaling more than [-] people.

After He Fang shook hands with everyone one by one, the announcer reminded everyone that the movie was about to start, and when the time came at [-]:[-], the theater would turn off the lights regardless of whether the audience was ready or not, and then played the movie.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, but He Fang was also nervous.

Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing are okay, they can pretend to be calm, like Liu Yan, they are holding the armrest of the seat tightly with their hands, very nervous.

It is stressful to be screened at the world's top film festivals and accept criticism from filmmakers all over the world.

At the beginning of the movie, a dragon logo first flew out, followed by the logo of Huying Group, the logo of Changsha Tuanhuo, and the logo of Huayi Brothers.

Then the screen lights up:
On the rainy road, a car was driving, and then the vehicle stopped by the side of the road. A woman got out of the car and came to the railing of a grassland, holding a wooden stick in her hand.

She stepped over the rail, then walked up to a pony, who looked up at her.

There were tears in the woman's eyes, and her hands trembled a little, but she still picked up the wooden stick and slammed it on the horse's head, one stick, two sticks, three sticks...

Until the little horse fell into the rain and fell into a pool of blood...

The woman suppressed her grief, gritted her teeth and cried.

At this time, the narration sounded: Since the great change of human beings in 2030, the world has changed some rules:
Unmarried or divorced or widowed singles without children over the age of 30 and under the age of 50 must be forced to marry, and those who cannot be matched within the specified time will be forcibly turned into animals.

After some people's relatives turned into animals, they couldn't bear their relatives' dying, so they would rather end their relatives' animal-like lives with their own hands.

……

Together with this narration, everyone immediately understood the setting and why the opening woman wanted to kill the pony.

Maybe it's her relatives, like her brother or brother, sister or sister... maybe it's her children...

Hiss... There were whispers and whispers in the movie hall. This setting made no one expect it, and it is really a bit novel.

The screen of the movie went black, and then the names of various main creators were announced, and the music sounded.

After the names of the creators finished flashing, a new screen appeared.

In the setting sun, a bespectacled, bearded, dull-eyed, and decadent man (the protagonist played by He Fang) is taken away from his home by a group of uniformed men and taken into a car.

The car drove out of the city, out of the suburbs, and arrived at a hotel in the mountains after a long time.

There are many people who have been received here and are all queuing up.

When it was the man's turn to finish queuing up, he was taken to a place similar to an interrogation room. A busy man in uniform was smoking a cigarette and pointing to the seat opposite him.The man sat down, and the interrogator also opened the notebook.

"Name……"

"Ma Wei."

"age……"

"36"

"gender……"

Ma Wei in the film spread his hands: "Male."

"Why don't you get married?" asked the man who asked him.

"I can't find a suitable one." Ma Wei replied.

"How can you have children if you are not married? How can you buy a house and a car if you are not married and have children? How can you spend a lot of money without a family? How can you stimulate the social economy if you don't buy a house, a car and consumption? How can society progress if you don't stimulate social economy? If you don't have children How to increase the labor force for the future society? You are committing a crime.”

"So, I will give you one last chance to live in a single hotel, find your other half within 45 days, and complete 15 days of cohabitation and 15 days of honeymoon after you find your other half. If you can persist, then you will still be sent back to the city like others Live like a human. If you can't do it, you will turn into an animal, understand?"

the man asked.

"understood."

"Okay, here are the detailed rules, you can read it yourself, and then go over there to get a set of supplies for this period of time."

The man gave Ma Wei a manual and waved his hand in disgust. Ma Wei picked up the manual and went to the next room naively.

Before the next paragraph even started, everyone in the theater was shocked... Isn't this beginning too aggressive?Not getting married, not buying a house, buying a car, not spending money and not having children is a crime. What kind of setting is this?

"Hiss, young people have really big brains..." Wang Xiaoshuai was shocked, he never expected it.

　Update in advance and prepare for tomorrow's shelves!
