Chapter 917 Fans all over the world
Thunderous applause has always been accompanied by the disappearance of the end credits, and many viewers are communicating with each other. Some of them even want to watch it again. Many of them echo each other, and none of the initial things were recorded.
"Green, this movie didn't disappoint you, right?" In the audience, a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hairstyle looked at the warm applause of the audience around him and continued: "I have briefly talked to the people of this company about distribution agency issues in Europe."
The white beard in a suit next to him agreed and said, "It's worthy of being the opening film. There is indeed a great opportunity to compete for this year's Palme d'Or! Judging from the script, photography, soundtrack, and actors, they are almost all top-notch. You're doing it right!"
In addition to ordinary audiences, film critics, journalists, and film industry insiders, there is also a group of people watching movies, and they are representatives of the publishers of various movies in the world.
Channels are king, and after making an excellent movie, it cannot appear in different cinemas in different countries out of thin air.
And this needs to be handled by the issuer!
There are countless movies that complete distribution transactions in Cannes every year. Not only are they shortlisted for the main competition unit, but many movies like "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" are also here to find partners!
Green and Joyce are colleagues working in the same distribution company. Instead of rashly moving on to contact the film production company, they silently planned how to grab it at the lowest cost.
As the opening film, "Farewell My Concubine" is the first film to meet the public in the entire Cannes Film Festival, and all the discussions are focused on it.
Just listen to the discussions of the audience now, and everyone likes it very much!
"I expected this film from China to be of good quality, but I never thought it would be so good. A movie, story, role, actor, emotion, connotation, light and shadow, and editing can be done well, and it has done it all!" As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was a real movie lover.
"The video that has been nearly three hours is so exciting! I'll probably have to queue up when I go to the bathroom later."
"This seems not to be a movie, but life. It turns out that in the distant country of the East, the fate of ordinary people in the early to late twentieth century was so miserable, and every detail can be seen. It was simply a crazy period. Why did people in love force each other to hurt each other? The personality was distorted to the extreme!"
"I like the chrysanthemum inside very much. She looks so beautiful."
"Is this starring actor male or female? He looks very touching to play the historical celebrity on the stage!"
"I should have watched it again, I don't know when the next game will be."
The audience in the screening room was buzzing and talking, while the reporters outside the screening room and movie lovers who had no tickets finally heard the constant applause.
Many Chinese journalists finally realized their hearts. It seems that this Chinese-language movie is destined to shine in Cannes!
"Three hours, my legs were numb after waiting. Guess how long the applause lasted?" Wu Ming, a reporter from the Beijing News, chatted with his colleagues in a relaxed tone.
Another person with a reporter's certificate replied: "It's going to take three minutes!"
The audience at the Cannes Film Festival is famous for being able to appreciate and be polite. Generally, there will be applause after the movie is screened.
The duration of applause becomes an alternative standard.
The longer the applause, the more exciting the movie is, the more attractive it is.
In order to count this time, Wu Mingdu used the stopwatch function that comes with his mobile phone to start timing, which was so rigorous.
"Three minutes is too short. The winner of the last Palme d'Or award received five minutes of applause, and another movie that received nine minutes of applause won the Best Director Award!"
"What do you think of this movie? I have read the novel written by Zhang Chu. I feel that the time span is very large and it is not particularly easy to shoot."
"After interviewing several main creators later, let's see if we can win movie tickets. There will be one at 19:30 and one at 22:30. You must not miss this opportunity."
"Every time it's a screening hall for a thousand people, so your luck won't be too bad."
These reporters have colleagues in it. Because there are too many media, it is impossible for all reporters from each media to enter the screening hall to watch movies, and they can only be separated into different batches.
But now Wu Ming is beginning to worry, "Farewell My Concubine has been applauding for more than 5 minutes now, and her reputation will definitely be booming. The number of people applying for movie tickets will surge, and there will definitely be a shortage of supply!"
"Don't worry about this. Which movie in Cannes is not like this? I applied for every show at the beginning to see which one can be applied for."
At this time, Visual China reporter Nie Xiujie pointed at the people holding signs at the entrance of the Movie Palace and asked: "What are those people doing? Are they protesting or demonstrating?"
"I saw Chinese characters more often..."
"Yes, I've seen the pinyin better. What are you doing?"
Wu Ming felt that he would not be able to interview any news when he was waiting here, so he might as well ask the person holding the sign there.
This is a young man wearing a gray T-shirt. He had a Nikon camera hanging on his neck, holding a handwritten sign in his hand. The top was the pinyin "ba-wang-bie-ji", and the bottom was the extremely stiff "Farewell My Concubine of the Overlord FMC", and the middle was written in English and French.
"Hello, what are you doing?" Wu Ming asked in English. He was able to travel to Cannes, which proved that language was not a problem.
After seeing Wu Ming’s appearance in Asia, the young man showed a bright smile: “I really want a ticket to Farewell My Concubine. The tickets for the premiere cannot be booked, and there is no way to book the audience. So I want to try my luck to see if anyone can’t go to the movie if they encounter urgent matters.”
So that's it!
Wu Ming suddenly realized: "So who among so many of you got the vote?"
"Not yet. I plan to wait until the last night, and try to get in if I can."
There are many people holding signs like this, many of them are too lazy to write about Farewell My Concubine, and directly write the name of director Xu Ji on it, "xu-ji", and Wu Ming also saw "zhang-chu".
This spectacular vote-seeking scene is still growing, and the thunderous applause further increases the expectations of these movie lovers!
