1309 collective fanaticism

At the door of Lumiere Hall, Renly walked out slowly, surrounded by Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, James Franco and several others. actor.

Obviously, after watching the movie, Renly also became a hot favorite among his fellow actors..

Undoubtedly, at this year's Cannes Film Festival, these actors are well-deserved kings of popularity. If any one of them is selected alone, it is enough to trigger a flash frenzy; but at this time, they all gathered together, and their ears It seems that it can already simulate the shock wave of roaring mountains, tsunami and cheers..

But Emily could never take her eyes off Renly..

Tonight is the world premiere of "The Ballad of Drunken Country". Everyone is dressed up to attend, including Renly. However, Renly still shows his arrogance and pickiness in his heart in a unique way..

A light blue vertical pattern collarless shirt, giving up the constraints of ties and bow ties; a sky blue suit jacket and a pair of dark blue suit pants, paired with a pair of light sailing shoes. Solemnity yet simplicity , serious yet casual, rejecting the traditional black and white and choosing low-key blue, the whole body's temperament became calm and melancholy..

With just a few strokes, Emily could imagine that if LeVine Davis attended an awards ceremony or a music event, he might be dressed like this..

Leonardo is on the left, Ryan and James are on the right.

Every actor is dressed in a suit and leather shoes; Renly's dress seems a little out of place, even a little rude, as if he is a down-and-out artist who accidentally stumbled into Cannes; however, the temperament that exudes from the inside out is... Overshadowing the other actors around him, all the lights and all the focus fell on Renly.

Emily didn't know whether it was because of her own psychology, because she had just watched "The Ballad of Drunken Country", or whether it was an illusion in her imagination. Because of the impulse to talk to Renly, her eyes naturally fell. On Renly...but that's the truth.

At this moment, there were more than one or two online self-media people waiting in the Lumiere Hall. More than a dozen people could not wait to swarm forward. The bustling place was so lively..

Faced with such a scene, Leonardo and James both said hello and left first with relaxed expressions, leaving only Ryan who was still by Renly's side. A small detail can show the closeness and distance of friendship. Gotta come out.

Emily hurried forward and joined the crowd; however, in the frenzy of questions, it was really difficult for her to find an accurate gap to put forward her thoughts and questions. At this moment, a The small sound came out, but it calmed down all the noise around it, and it was instantly peaceful..

“Renly, may I ask, was the inspiration for this movie about Heather Cross?？”

Involuntarily, Emily held her breath, as if even her heart had stopped beating..

Although she is not a big fan of Renly, how could she not know the story about the "Ice Bucket Challenge"？

From a positive perspective, it is precisely because I know Renly well enough and understand the deep meaning of "The Ballad of Drunken Country" that I understand the bond between the movie and Heather, and then raise such questions and solve them in a unique way. Interpret this movie; but from a negative perspective, such a question is rude and presumptuous, and even directly aimed at explosive points and gimmicks, which is really uncomfortable..

So, how should Renly respond? How can he respond?？

For a time, countless thoughts surged in their minds, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath..

As the person involved, Renly looked natural and calm, without any deliberate expression. He was not too surprised or too sad, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Joel and Ethan were inspired by folk songs. ; and for me, the source of inspiration during the performance is about dreams, and the people and things that appear on the road to chasing dreams..”

There is no direct answer, but the content is profound enough..

After savoring it carefully, everyone can come up with their own answer. The same is true for "Drunk Country Ballads". It is an era and a mirror. Different people can see different projections when they look at it. According to each person's They can only see their own parts of experience, heritage and life..

This is the most beautiful and touching part.

Noisy sounds surged outside the Film Palace, and the air slowly became quiet for a while. Even the person who asked the question did not speak again. The surrounding atmosphere was slightly quiet, as if he had returned to the scene of "Drunk Country Ballads" again. In the story, if you listen carefully, you can catch the sound of falling snow outside the window..

Renly waited for a moment, without waiting for follow-up questions, and then nodded politely, "We will wait for the next exchange. I hope to see you at the press conference tomorrow..”

The lively crowd slowly moved out of the way, watching Renly and Ryan walking away from each other. Only then did Emily react, took two steps forward, and shouted, "Renly, Thank you." This sentence made the two people stop at the same time, turned around, and cast a confused look..

Emily's mind went blank, and she just said subconsciously, "Thank you for becoming an actor..”

Now Renly is standing in a backlit position, with light and shadow falling through his shoulders. His facial expression is hidden in the shadow. Only an outline can be vaguely captured, but you can feel that his expression paused slightly for a moment, and the corners of his mouth The arc of his face slowly and slowly rose up, and then he said, "It's my pleasure..”

After saying that, Renly turned around again and walked away with Ryan..

Standing where she was, Emily couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, revealing a bright smile happily; the chatter in her ears once again became noisy from small to loud, and everyone couldn't hold back their own emotions. Excited and excited, he couldn't wait to discuss everything that had just happened and the movie that had just ended with a slightly trembling voice..

Everyone says that Cannes is a city full of stars; but even after many battles, the passionate emotions have never calmed down..

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night！

……

“The premiere of "Drunk Country Folk" finally came to an end.

That night, in every corner of the small town of Cannes, media workers and professional film critics could be seen forgetting sleep and eating, writing furiously. They were all rushing to write manuscripts. On the one hand, they hoped to release relevant news and follow-up comments as soon as possible, so as to Praise for truly outstanding works; on the other hand, because three more works in the main competition will be released tomorrow, the work content and weight will only become more and more heavy..

In front of the computer screen lights, Michael Phillips of "The Hollywood Reporter" is also one of them.

Actually, Michael doesn't like covering film festivals. Not just Cannes, but all film festivals.

Imagine, in just twelve days, having to watch over forty films - excluding short films, having to conduct over ten interviews - excluding roundtable interviews, and having to attend over five parties - excluding personal itineraries , must write more than thirty manuscripts - not including special articles, and deducting the time of waiting and running around, eating and sleeping are extremely luxurious things..

When he was young, Michael was so overdrafted at the Venice Film Festival that he only slept for two hours for twelve consecutive days. Strictly speaking, that was not sleeping, just closing his eyes. So when he left Venice, his feet were numb. It's like stepping on clouds. I feel unsteady and my whole body is floating..

Any film festival is an ultimate test of physical strength and energy..

Although now Michael has become the leading exclusive film critic of "The Hollywood Reporter", his job has become relatively free and simple. He can watch any work that interests him and then decide whether to write a manuscript; You can also choose a reasonable combination of works from the main competition unit and works from other units to enjoy the film festival as much as possible.

But Michael still couldn't arouse much interest. Being in the craze of the film festival, he couldn't help but feel tired and tired. The socializing and parties of the film festival began to take up more time than the movie. Every time he thought about leaving Los Angeles and traveling long distances to Europe, he felt tired..

Tonight, after watching the movie "The Ballad of Drunken Country", the passion deep in Michael's heart was finally awakened. His emotions seemed complicated, with a touch of sadness and a touch of happiness filling his chest, and he could not get rid of it..

Because this work reminds him why he loves movies so much, and why he comes to the film festival again and again to be abused. When watching a masterpiece that touches people's hearts, the feeling of touch and satisfaction is irreplaceable and indescribable..

Also because this work reminded him why he began to feel tired, why excellent movies and outstanding filmmakers are gradually disappearing, and when real life where interests come first crashes in, someone must make a compromise after all..

Suddenly, he became Le'Veon Davis.

After leaving the Film Palace, Michael walked aimlessly through the small city of Cannes like LeVine. He even went to watch the official 100-year review of Indian films.——

The staff was closing the door, but when they saw the audience re-entering the hall, they paused what they were doing and started chatting together..

This is not a well-known side of Cannes, but it is an important side for the success of the Cannes Film Festival. Michael seems to feel the joy and joy of attending the Cannes Film Festival for the first time again. There is no star-studded red carpet, But it has a long history of movies. Calm down and slowly appreciate it..
