1319 roundtable interview
“Joel, may I ask how the lighting was used in this photography? As the story progresses, the light seems to change, but it seems to remain unchanged. Does this have any impact on the shaping of the story?？”
“Ethan, can you discuss the live performance of the film this time around? We all know that most of the songs are sung live, so how do you capture the actors’ singing emotions?？”
“Justin, you participated in the production of this soundtrack. Can you talk about the feeling of collaboration? What I am personally most curious about is how the arrangement of the song "Five Hundred Miles" was completed and what kind of inspiration was used.？”
“Rumor has it that the crew is planning to hold a concert to perform the soundtrack of the movie. Is this true?？”
“Ethan or Joel, can either of you answer a question about sound editing and sound effects? In your previous works, you have been very good at using such detailed changes to create an atmosphere. But this time, because there are a lot of live performances, you seem to have worked hard to prevent the sound effects from taking away the light of the plot. Is that true?？”
“Renly, not long ago you worked with Alfonso Cuaron and then with the Coen brothers, can you talk about the differences between the two collaborations?？”
“Also, why did 'Drunken Country Folk' choose a ring structure? Are the plots at the beginning and end of the film exactly the same? Or a flashback? What was the reason for choosing this technique? Also, what is the significance of the big yellow cat named Ulysses? Renly, how do you think this affects your performance?？”
……
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the craze of the entire press conference could not stop at all. The press conference was originally scheduled to end in thirty minutes, but it dragged on for forty-five minutes. The reporters still reluctantly did not want it to end. visit, but...the organizer finally forced the end of the press conference.
After watching the crew of "Drunken Country Folk" leave the press conference hall one after another, the media reporters still stayed where they were and were not in a hurry to leave..
Although they know that every second counts, they must rush to the next trip; but at this moment, they still hope to stay and exchange opinions with their colleagues about "Drunken Country Ballads", about the press conference, and about this event. Overall impression of the Cannes Film Festival.
Among the surging crowds, Emily and Mark also met a group of like-minded friends, dancing and sharing their thoughts and opinions..
“Zhizhi", there was a vibrating sound in Emily's pocket. She subconsciously took out her phone and took a quick glance. It turned out to be an email reminder. After clicking it, Emily's pupils still widened sharply. , showing incredible ecstasy, and the aura around him began to become excited..
“God！”
After all, Emily couldn't hold it back and exclaimed, "I made an appointment for Renly's roundtable interview.！”
“What? "Oh my God!" ""envious! "Real or false!" "Emily, come on, come on, my list of questions will be sent to you right away. Remember to help me ask Renly in person!" "Also, remember to take pictures!" What does it feel like to interview Renly up close? God, I'm already excited.！”
“Wait, I’ve also booked an opportunity for a roundtable interview! "After half a beat, Mark also confirmed his email and got the latest news. Then he jumped up on the spot and enthusiastically celebrated the arrival of the happy event..
At international film festivals, there are countless interviews with the media, especially at such a prosperous event as the three major European film festivals. Even small and unknown film crews are hot interview targets. As long as they can enter the main competition unit, this means that official interviews will Continuously and continuously coming.
At the Cannes Film Festival, there are more than 4,000 media members. Even if only one-tenth of the media can get an interview opportunity, it is still 400 interviews. Most of the crew stays in Cannes for about three to four days. This also means that they need to complete an average of fifty to one hundred interviews every day, which is an impossible task..
Therefore, the film festival made corresponding adjustments to the interview plan in response to this situation..
One is a roundtable interview, which is just like a roundtable meeting. At least three and up to ten participants gather around the round table to conduct individual interviews with actors or directors. The entire interview process lasts from thirty minutes to sixty minutes. Possibly increase interview speed and pace.
One is casual interviews, which are done in the fragmented time between watching movies at the film festival, or during the chatting time at parties, completing short random interviews. However, this interview method completely depends on luck. Some people may be interviewed during the entire film festival. There are no opportunities, but some people may gain a lot.
There is also an exclusive interview. As the name suggests, this is a one-on-one interview. However, only very few top media can obtain such interview opportunities, and the treatment and specifications are completely different..
Emily and Mark just made an appointment for a roundtable interview.
Although they also hope to be able to book an exclusive interview, it is too difficult for the self-media. Even round-table interviews are extremely rare. Countless other media cannot book any interview opportunities at all and can only watch helplessly; they You should also comfort yourself optimistically. Being able to attend the film festival is already the best gift..
“Haha, haha." After all, Mark couldn't hold it back and laughed heartily. After feeling the concerned eyes of everyone, he quickly explained, "Young master is so interesting. The interview time was specially arranged at three o'clock in the afternoon. Thirty minutes, because - he needs to go to watch a long-awaited work, a kind of attention unit's 'Oma'. This is the original words in the email！”
“"Pfft", everyone couldn't help laughing. Such a straightforward expression is really cute. Moreover, he gave up the interview opportunity in order to watch the movie, which is even more cute..
Emily also chuckled, "That's right, and there's a note in the email: If you're pressed for time and unable to attend the interview, it's recommended to arrive an hour in advance so that you can interview Joel and Ethan; in addition, you can also ask Kerry Make an appointment with Justin.' I'm sure all the movie lovers will understand. By the way, is anyone watching Omar's movie?？’”
“Haha", the group burst into laughter, clapped their hands and laughed, they couldn't stop laughing..
“Is this an email written by Renly himself? "Someone next to me showed a look of disbelief..
Mark shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, this is an email written by Roy, the young master's manager. But a small part of it is quoted in quotation marks. These are obviously the young master's original words." As he spoke, Mark smiled. His mood finally brightened up, "Roy is also a very humorous guy. I can already imagine Roy complaining about the young master's expression..”
“After reading this email, I now have a real feeling that Renly is really a young man, and he is also a young man who loves movies extremely much..”
Everyone started talking and sharing what they knew about Renly..
At the same time, Emily and Mark exchanged glances. Finally, Emily asked, "How is it? What are your plans?"？”
“Hmm... I still want to see 'Omar'. The young master is always full of curiosity about the film festival. The movies he likes must have merits. Although the kind of attention is not as good as the main competition, I feel that if We watched the film in advance, and whether we are in the same scene or not, the interview that follows is bound to be very interesting." Mark expressed his thoughts seriously..
“If it's the same venue, that would be great, maybe we can communicate on the spot." Emily also added, without any hesitation, she nodded in agreement, "Then, let's rush there now. , otherwise the schedule may be too late.”
The screenings of a kind of attention are arranged relatively densely, but overall the attention is not too obvious..
More importantly, during the roundtable interview at 3:30, if you are not careful, you may miss the premiere of the new film in the main competition tonight. But... this is Cannes, non-stop, never touching the ground. If necessary, we can work all night and day without stopping, running 24 hours a day..
Therefore, Emily and Mark must also seize the time.
Without staying in the press center for too long, the two waved goodbye to their companions, and then braved the pouring rain and quickly sprinted towards the screening hall where the attention was directed..
There was another queue - during this period, we also encountered paparazzi who got the news and came to take secret photos. When Renly appeared, the scene was chaotic. After all, Cannes was still different from Berlin. The audience who could not enter the venue to watch the movie had all The focus of attention is on the stars.
Another movie viewing - "Omar" is the fourth feature film of Israeli director Hany-Abu-Assad. His 2005 "Heaven Now" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language. The film was nominated and shortlisted for the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival..
Another run - after watching the movie, it was a little later than expected. They had to start running all the way to avoid missing the next round table interview. The whole trip was extremely hasty, like a rapid march..
Unfortunately, they weren't able to get up close and personal with Renly this time.
Because from the beginning to the end of the movie, Renly was always surrounded. He was in a small movie theater that could only accommodate less than 80 people. He was completely trapped in a crowded and swamped embarrassing situation. Not to mention Renly, even the on-site staff did not expect it at all..
In order to avoid missing the next highlight, Emily and Mark had no choice but to give up their wonderful idea of traveling with Renly, left the Cinema Palace in advance, and ran quickly towards the majestic Barrière Hotel in Cannes..
The only lucky thing is that the heavy rain finally stopped, the sky gradually cleared up, and there was finally no need to get wet anymore..
