Chapter 316 Interview

There are 24 steps from the red carpet to the Film Palace, and the three of them climbed the steps.Walk up the steps, stand still, turn around, and accept the photo of the photographer again.

At this time, the red carpet has been cleared to welcome all members of the jury.I saw the chairman of the jury, David Lynch, holding Michelle Yeoh with his left hand and Sharon Stone with his right hand, making a grand appearance, followed by several other judges with average looks and average fame.

Sharon Stone, who is the most eye-catching, has blond hair and is wearing a leopard print dress, showing wildness.Not to mention, although this girl is quite old, she still looks charming, which attracted bursts of cheers and whistles from the surrounding movie fans.

Michelle Yeoh wore a white knitted dress today, paired with a long silver skirt. It was shiny and dignified, but she was a little short and felt a little lacking in momentum.

Especially when taking pictures, being hugged by that blond-haired leopard-patterned ocean horse, it was more than half a head short, making it look extraordinarily petite.

Then came the famous American director Woody Allen and his wife Song Yi.Song Yi is the adopted daughter of the old man's ex-wife. When the two were together, they caused a lot of controversy about ethics and morals.

But his little wife was really ugly. Her face looked like it had been stepped on by a cow. It was unbearable to look at her.Well, both Li Tang and Zhou Xun are shallow people who judge people by their appearance. After they looked at each other, they both showed disgusting expressions, then turned around and walked into the movie palace.

The opening and closing ceremonies were held in the Debussy Hall, the largest of the Palais du Cinema, where the premiere of "The Little Seamstress" will be held tomorrow.

"Wow, it's so big. Can it be full tomorrow?"

Zhou Xun walked in, looked around like a little girl who had never seen the world, and sighed with his mouth wide open.

"Absolutely, this is France, and "The Little Tailor" has a very strong reader base." Dai Sijie said with confidence.

This so-called elite who came out of the mountains of Sichuan has completely transformed himself into a Frenchman.

The Cannes Film Palace and the Venice Film Palace are basically the same. Even the Venice Film Palace seems to be larger, but the style is almost the same.This is easy to understand, after all, the cultures of the two places are connected.Historically, the area around the Mediterranean belonged to the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.

The process of the opening ceremony is similar. After all the guests arrive, the chairman of the organizing committee comes to the stage to say something, and then grandly introduces the members of the jury.After a few processes, it’s the opening movie.

The opening film of this year's film festival is Woody Allen's new film "Hollywood Ending."Li Tang had seen this movie in his previous life. Some people say that this movie, written, directed and acted by Woody Allen, telling the story of a Hollywood director facing dual crises of career and love, is a portrayal of Woody Allen himself.Some people also believe that this is his attempt to whitewash his controversial work methods and private life.

But no matter what, the only thing that cannot be denied is that this is a good movie.Woody Allen uses a witty and humorous tone to depict an almost absurd story. It is a rare comedy movie.

So revisiting it again, Li Tang is still looking forward to it.It's just that Zhou Xun, who was sitting next to him, was completely blinded by the full English dialogue and French subtitles, and he didn't know why the laughter burst out from time to time around him.In desperation, Li Tang could only help her translate in a low voice while reading.

After the premiere, there will be an opening dinner held by the sponsor in the banquet hall on the first floor of the Carlton Hotel.There will never be a shortage of flashlights in places where celebrities gather together. Reporters armed with guns and cannons lurked on both sides of the short 200-meter road from the Cinema Palace to the Carlton Hotel, frantically pressing the shutter.

Li Tang, Zhou Xun, and Dai Sijie were walking along the flow of people when they suddenly heard someone shouting next to them: "Li Tang! Zhou Xun!"

Hearing pure Mandarin in a foreign country will naturally make you feel very at home, especially since Zhou Xun has just been severely beaten by the original film in the cinema.

So when I turned around, I saw a guy wearing glasses, followed by a thin young man wearing a plaid shirt and a vest full of pockets. He was holding a camera with a long lens and taking pictures of himself.

In fact, there are especially many reporters from Hong Kong in Cannes, because there is also the "Hong Kong Night" event sponsored by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council.There are also quite a few reporters from the Bay Area, but to be honest, there are not many reporters from the mainland.

On the one hand, it is inconvenient to go abroad, unlike many places in Hong Kong and Wanwan, which are visa-free. On the other hand, it is expensive.During the film festival, air tickets and accommodation are almost sky-high.It's better to sit at home, even if you can't get first-hand interview information, and search for content published by other media on the Internet before posting it, easily.

As for copyright, it didn’t exist at all in an era when piracy was rampant.To be polite, just indicate the source of the quote after the report.

Judging from their accents, it is estimated that these two reporters are probably reporters from the mainland.

When the guy with glasses saw Li Tang and Zhou Xun looking over, he quickly introduced himself: "We are reporters from Nandu Daily. My name is Shi Yu, and this is our photojournalist Wei Xiaoming. Teachers, can you accept us?" interview?"

"Good!"

Before Li Tang said anything, Zhou Xun, who was in a good mood, readily agreed.

Seeing the three of them stop, a reporter holding the logo of a French TV station pointed the microphone at Dai Sijie and took the opportunity to start an interview.

Zhou Xun has already begun to answer questions.

"Yes, when I came to Cannes for the first time, I felt that there were so many people here, it was so lively, and the atmosphere of the movie was very strong... Yes, I was very touched. You can see those classic movies were being played on the beach... …It’s an honor to be able to walk on the red carpet in Cannes. For me, it’s more about learning. The director also said just now that being able to walk to Cannes is already a victory...”

Weekly News Balabala answered three questions.Then, the reporter named Shi Yu stretched out the recording pen in his hand to Li Tang and said: "Teacher Li Tang, we all know that you won the Best Actor Award in the Against the Current section at last year's Venice Film Festival. May I ask what you are doing here this time?" What are your expectations for Cannes?"

"No expectations."

Li Tang shook his head simply, and then asked with some curiosity: "Didn't your Nandu News reporter Yuan Lei come this time?"

When Li Tang was in Venice last year, he was interviewed by the Yuan reporter with fat breasts, and he left a very good impression.

"Uh……"

Shi Yu was at a loss for words. As a reporter, he was usually the one to ask questions. It was rare that he was asked a question. The question was from another reporter from his own newspaper, which was a bit embarrassing.

However, he immediately replied: "Xiao Yuan didn't come this time. The newspaper appointed me to cover this Cannes Film Festival."

Li Tang nodded. He just asked casually, but he saw that the two people's clothing seemed to be incompatible with the reporters around them. Moreover, the photographer Wei Xiaoming kept taking pictures with his camera, and even asked him and Zhou Xun to get closer. , took a few group photos.

So he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you take pictures on the red carpet just now?"

As a result, Shi Yu was even more embarrassed this time, and Wei Xiaoming actually had a look of indignation on his face.

Li Tang was a little curious and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uh, this... ahem, it's mainly because it was our first time to report on the Cannes Film Festival. We had little experience, so we made a little joke..."

In Shi Yu's hesitant words, Li Tang finally understood the whole story.It turns out that the Cannes Film Festival has a strict dress code, and even reporters are no exception. For example, when reporting on the opening and closing ceremonies, they must wear formal wear.But these two people were completely unprepared. Even if they had venue passes, they could not enter the red carpet area for photos and interviews.

Previously, photographer Wei Xiaoming relied on his thinness and agility to sneak in behind two burly western journalists, but he was still discovered by the security guards, and then he was dragged out of the venue like a convict.

And because 911/[-] just happened last year, security at this year's Cannes Film Festival is particularly strict. Journalists who want to enter the Film Palace, Press Center, Film Market and other places need to go through security checks.Even at the Carlton Hotel where Li Tang stayed, if he wanted to enter the hotel if he was not a hotel guest, in addition to being confirmed by the hotel guest, he also had to go through security check.

Reporter, he is the uncrowned king in China. He did not expect to be treated like this in Cannes. No wonder Wei Xiaoming looked angry.

No wonder Li Tang had always felt that these two reporters looked out of place standing together with the surrounding group of reporters wearing evening clothes and bow ties who were taking photos.

He suppressed a smile and for the sake of his compatriots took the initiative to give them pointers: "There are hotels and some clothing stores here that rent dresses. Of course, hotels are more expensive. You can find out by asking about some clothing stores."

They all know that you can rent dresses in the hotel, but the price is so expensive that they might as well just buy one.But it can also be rented in clothing stores, which was the first time they heard about it.

Shi Jue, who was worrying about the dress, suddenly brightened up and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Teacher Li."

But while he was talking, Dai Sijie had already completed an interview with French TV, and he also helped translate for Zhou Xun and answered several questions from French reporters.After all, she was the winner of the Paris International Film Festival, so she had to give her some face and asked a few symbolic questions.

But at this time, the two were already waiting beside them.

Shi Jue watched as he only answered Li Tang's questions. Before he could ask any questions, he hurriedly said: "Teacher Li, when can you think of a time when it's convenient for me to conduct an exclusive interview for you?"

Obviously, it was not easy for these two buddies as mainland journalists who came to cover the Cannes Film Festival for the first time. Li Tang nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay."

Then after calculating his schedule, he said: "Otherwise, it will be the day after tomorrow. Our movie will premiere tomorrow, so we don't have time. There will be something to talk about by then."

"Thank you, Teacher Li!"

Shi Jue looked excited. If they could get Li Tang's exclusive interview in Cannes, their interview mission in Cannes would be almost half completed.

Then he immediately looked at Zhou Xun again, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Zhou Xun say: "The day after tomorrow, Li Tang and I will accept your exclusive interview together."
