Entertainment: God-level director

For ordinary audiences in Europe and the United States, many people know Lin Ran’s name, but not many can recognize him at a glance.

No way, he didn’t play roles in movies such as”The Return of the Clown”,”Superbody” and”Interstellar”, but was just a behind-the-scenes director.

Except for a small number of movie fans, more ordinary viewers pay more attention to the actors.

To give a simple example, George Lucas and James Cameron are definitely the world’s top directors. There are very few people who like to watch movies who have never heard of their names.

After all,”Star Wars” and”Titanic” are so famous.

But outside the United States, how many people can recognize them in a crowd?

In terms of familiarity, Dilraba Dilraba, who starred in”Super Body”, may be more familiar to people on the streets of Europe and the United States than Lin Ran.

However, in the media circle, there are not many reporters who know Lin Ran.

Not to mention,”Breaking Drummer” scored the highest score in the show and is considered the biggest favorite for this year’s Palme d’Or.

So when Lin Ran, Feng Yuanzheng, Tong Liya and others walked onto the red carpet, the originally lazy reporter immediately picked up the camera and pointed it at them.

“Lin, this way”

“Mr. Lin, please look to the right, thank you”

“Lin, say hello to the audience here.”

Reporters on both sides of the red carpet kept shouting Lin Ran’s name, asking Lin Ran to face them for the convenience of taking pictures.

As for Feng Yuanzheng and Tong Liya, some reporters also called their names, but almost all of them were Chinese media, and no foreign mainstream media cared about them..

Who said they are not popular abroad.

In fact, the domestic little stars who come to the red carpet are treated like this when they walk on the red carpet. Foreign media will not photograph them at all. The red carpet photos they send back to China are all It was taken by my own photographer.

It’s just that in the early years, the self-media was not developed, and the power of public opinion was completely in the hands of the media. As long as the media did not take the initiative to expose this, the domestic audience would not know the truth at all. They really thought that these domestic How popular celebrities are abroad.

Nowadays, it is difficult to fool them. Even the little stars who walked on the red carpet without being invited have been exposed how much they spend.

So in recent years, the hype in this area has increased. There are a lot less. Only those celebrities who are invited to the red carpet in an upright manner will issue press releases to brag about it. Let’s put it this way, when domestic celebrities go to the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, the only ones who can be actively photographed by foreign reporters are Cheng Long and Gong. Li, Zhang Ziyi and a few others.

After cooperating with the reporters on both sides to take photos, Lin Ran led the starring actors to walk through the red carpet at a normal speed without delaying on purpose.

After walking the red carpet, he entered the venue, and then There is also an official short interview

“Lin, you just walked down the red carpet, how are you feeling now?”

The reporter interviewing is Anna, a famous female host of French TV station

“I’m so excited, this is my first time walking the red carpet in Cannes.”Lin Ran was very considerate and pretended to be excited.

“Lin, I understand that you won the Palme d’Or for your short film at Cannes a few years ago.”

Anna has obviously done her homework. She even knew that Lin Ran won the Palme d’Or for her short film a few years ago.

“Yes, it was my graduation project when I was a senior in college. Unexpectedly, it won the Best Short Film Award. Lin

Ran nodded, then shrugged:”However, I didn’t walk on the red carpet at that time.””

“Lin, this time your work”Breaking Drummer” was well received. Have you ever thought about winning the Palme d’Or again this time? asked Anna

“Of course, it would be so exciting and a miracle if we could win the Palme d’Or again.”

“Lin, good luck to you.”Anna gave her final blessing.

“Thanks. Lin Ran thanked her.

After Anna left, Tong Liya said with envy:”Lin Ran, you also have such a big influence in Europe.””

“It’s okay. Lin Ran smiled.

“Director Lin should be the second one after director Li Eu to have such a big influence in Europe and the United States.”

Feng Yuanzheng said with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi also walked through the red carpet and entered the venue. When she saw Lin Ran, she immediately came to say hello to Lin Ran.

Now Zhang Ziyi has once again entered the Hollywood production industry with”Interstellar”. The filmmaker has successfully landed an important role in”Godzilla 2″.

She has no works shortlisted this year, but Zhang Ziyi has a good relationship with the Cannes Film Festival. She has served as a judge at the Cannes Film Festival three times. This year Was also invited to serve as an award presenter

“Director Lin, Teacher Feng, Yaya, you guys arrived first.”Zhang Ziyi said with a smile

“Well, I just arrived.”Lin Ran nodded.

“Director Lin, your”Breaking Drummer” is so good. I was very touched after watching it. I think it has a high chance of winning the Palme d’Or.”Zhang Ziyi praised again

“Then I’ll lend you some good words.”Lin Ran smiled.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Ziyi left. She didn’t bother Lin Ran anymore and went to communicate with other filmmakers.

On Lin Ran’s side, other actors and directors kept coming to say hello. Some of them were With the mentality of making friends with Lin Ran, some simply thought that Lin Ran was very talented and wanted to communicate.

Time passed before I knew it.

At seven o’clock in the evening, the award ceremony officially started.

Because”Explosive Drummer” was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the news that was well-received after being screened in Cannes has long been spread back to China by the media, and the attention has been very great. Seeing this, Tencent Video directly bought the live broadcast rights. As soon as the award ceremony started, there were a large number of Lin Ran’s fans Netizens and passers-by flocked to the live broadcast room, looking forward to witnessing a Chinese director winning the second Palme d’Or after nearly 30 years.

The first Palme d’Or was, of course,”Farewell My Concubine” directed by Chen Kaige.

Now this movie is It is recognized as a miracle film, with a score of 9.6 on Douban.

As for the best short film won by Lin Ran’s”The Tuner”, although it is known as the Short Film Palme d’Or, its actual influence is much smaller than the real Palme d’Or. It will not be considered a real Palme d’Or.

So in fact, so far, our country’s directors have only received one Palme d’Or in total, which is much less than the Berlin Golden Bear Award and the Venice Golden Lion Award!

Because of this, Countless netizens expect Lin Ran to win the second Palme d’Or!
