    Yuan Qiaoqiao, her aunt, and her cousin sat down in the middle of the second row. Hu Jun, who was sitting in front of her aunt, turned around and greeted them.

    Gu Huxin and Lu Meili didn't know him. Although Yuan Qiaoqiao met him when they visited the crew of "Lan Yu", they were not very familiar with each other, so they only exchanged a few polite words before sitting down and getting ready to watch.  Movie.

    There were several foreigners sitting in the front row, probably European film producers, and Gu Huxin seemed to know one of them.

    Seeing the two of them chatting quickly and enthusiastically, Yuan Qiaoqiao thought to herself: It seems that this aunt has gained a lot from coming to the film festival.

    Lu Meili, who also knew Liu Ye, scanned the front row and saw no one else. She leaned into Yuan Qiaoqiao's ear and whispered, "Didn't you tell me that this movie starred your good friend Liu Ye?"  Well, why didn¡¯t he come?¡±

    "He, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are rushing to shoot the movie "Balzac and the Little Seamstress" in Zhangjiajie, Hunan. The schedule is tight and the director is demanding, so they are inseparable."

    In fact, before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An did not win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, even though it won many awards such as the British Film Institute, after it was released in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it did not receive high reviews. However,  After it won four Academy Awards, including the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, there was an uproar in the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although the evaluation of the film has changed dramatically since then, it still remains in many circles.  In my heart, I still don¡¯t think it was a good shot.

    In the movie, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Ziqiong, Chow Yunfa, Zhang Zhen, and Zheng Peipei all received a lot of dividends and became famous.

    Among them, Cheng Long, Jet Li and Chow Yunfa left Hong Kong around the same time to pursue careers in Hollywood. Cheng Long and Jet Li quickly established themselves in Hollywood with their skills, but Chow Yunfa had no success in Hollywood until "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"  The movie just opened up the situation.

    In addition to many artists who envy the leading actors in the movie, many directors or outsiders who are interested in developing in this area are unconvinced, thinking that since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a poorly made movie, can win the Oscar,  It's a good foreign language film. If they make a better movie than it, they will get it.

    Therefore, the Chinese director Dai Sijie in France made his novel "Balzac and the Little Dressmaker" a novel that has won five awards in 19 countries, been translated into 25 languages, and has had great repercussions in European countries.  Adapted it into a script, worked on it myself, and prepared to make it into a movie.

    ??This movie was aimed at winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when it started filming. Because the original novel has a considerable influence in Europe and has a solid foundation, most people in the industry are optimistic about it.

    Liu Ye finally obtained such a good resource, so he naturally had to seize it tightly and do it well. Moreover, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, especially Zhou Xun, have very good acting skills. He cannot be weaker than them, plus the director  The requirements were relatively strict, and besides, the film "Lan Yu" was only invited to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, not shortlisted. He felt that it didn't mean much whether he came or not, so he didn't ask for leave from the director.

    Of course, there is another more important reason, which is that he is short of money. After graduation, although he has taken some roles intermittently, the salary is not high, which can satisfy his life in the imperial capital, but if he goes abroad, he will have some money.  Difficulty, he felt that it was not worthwhile to borrow money for a film that was only screened at a film festival. Therefore, even though he was somewhat tempted to go abroad to film festivals to broaden his horizons, in the end due to tight economic conditions, he gave up the idea.

    The reason why Yuan Qiaoqiao knew about it was because when she knew that "Lan Yu" was going to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, she thought that as the leading actor, she had called him and asked him if he would go to Cannes. When Liu Ye said that he did not have enough money, he would not go.  Later, she wanted to lend him some money, but he refused.

    After they came in, more people came in intermittently. After some people came in, Chen Guo let them go to the front row. Some of them were reporters, and some were Hong Kong and Taiwan directors who were close friends with the director. However, Yuan Qiaoqiao only recognized the famous Hong Kong literary and art films.  Female director Xu Yuhua, among whom she knows two Taiwanese directors, Tsai Ming-liang and Hou Hsiao-hsien of the film she starred in did not come, but Taiwanese Yang Dechang, who is a judge of this film festival, came.

    "Qiaoqiao, Director Guan spent a lot of money to rent such a large venue. Did Cannes give him a subsidy?" Lu Meili looked around and thought about the investment of Xinyu and Xinyuan in this movie, Yuan Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows.  Bian asked in a low voice.

    "Probably not, I don't know." Yuan Qiaoqiao hesitated and said uncertainly, "As a film participating in Cannes, although it does not participate in the competition and awards, there are still other benefits, such as publicity and participation in the film competition.  Enjoy equal treatment, but in terms of money, I haven¡¯t heard of it.¡±

    She wasn¡¯t sure what she said, but to Lu Meili¡¯s ears, it sounded like it was gone. She looked around again, with a look of pain on her face.?: "If that's the case, doesn't he spend all the investors' money? This really doesn't come from his own pocket. I don't know how distressed he is. His hands are too big."

    After hearing what she said, Yuan Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and explained to Director Guan with a smile, "Cousin, since you are here to participate in the film festival, you still need to decorate the facade. Therefore, you must have some money.  Flower.

    This is just like going on a blind date. No matter how sloppy the man and woman are usually, when the time comes, they must clean up and make themselves look presentable.  "

    ¡°Then according to what you say, this movie can be sold without losing money?¡±

    Although she was talking to Lu Meili, she also listened to the conversation between her aunt and the front row film producer just now, so she smiled and said, "I won't lose money if I lose money."

    Although this movie cannot be released in the mainland, there is no problem in Hong Kong and Taiwan.  Moreover, as a film about a special theme about same-sex relationships, it has a fixed audience in Europe, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it.  "

    As we talked, more and more people came in, and finally the entire exhibition hall was full.

    After Guan Jinpeng came to the stage and gave a few opening remarks, the lights went out and the movie started to show.

    As the screen lit up, Liu Ye's young face appeared on the screen, and Hu Jun's voiceover appeared outside the camera: "After you left that morning, I have been worried about you, and I have always felt that you are still by my side.  ¡­¡­do you know?"

    The appearance of the two male protagonists may only be considered average in Asia, but they are angular and angular, which is more in line with the taste of European people. Moreover, these two actors themselves are good in acting, and under the guidance of director Guan  Under the training, they all contributed a very superb performance in their acting career.

    When filming "Lan Yu", Director Guan did not use any fancy shooting techniques, nor did he use any new or eye-catching methods in shooting techniques, narrative structure, nor did he deliberately cater to the tastes of foreigners.  , specifically arranging their favorite plots, but using the performances of two people to interpret a simple and emotional story.

    Based on the memories of Chen Handong, the other male protagonist in the film, Hu Jun, we simply start from the flashback scenes and honestly tell a love story.

    When watching foreign literary and artistic films, many times, even 99% of them will have a lot of sex scenes. This is not necessarily required by the plot, but because the producers behind the film feel that the audience loves this, and they regard it as  An expression of emotion.

    However, the sex scene in "Lan Yu" is not because of this, but because Director Guan used it to express the emotional collision between the two protagonists. Therefore, only one sex scene was arranged, and it was arranged a few minutes after the opening.  The naked/nude/nude sex scene is relatively large in scale, with Liu Ye¡¯s full frontal exposure.

    When his little penis appeared on the screen, Gu Huxin's face turned red, and she cursed in a low voice. She stretched out her hand to block the eyes of the people next to her, so that they wouldn't see it. However, her niece was on the left, and her daughter was on the right.  I can't cover it with my hands.

    Gu Huxin no longer had the intention to continue watching the movie. She just felt embarrassed from her scalp to the soles of her feet. She complained in a low voice, "What is this? How could this movie be shot like this? With such a scene,  Why didn't you tell me beforehand"

    Hearing her complaint, Yuan Qiaoqiao and Lu Meili quickly looked at each other, trying hard to suppress the corners of their mouths that were about to open and prevent themselves from laughing.

    Because of traditional habits, Chinese people are very shy when expressing love. Therefore, they are even more ashamed to talk about sexual topics in public.  Gu Huxin's performance very well expressed the thoughts of the Chinese people. Their traditional thinking cannot accept this. It is not that she cannot accept the love story told in the movie, but that traditional thinking prevents her from accepting whether she is with her niece or her daughter.  Watched this together.

    ¡­¡­

    As the plot unfolds, the love and death between Chen Handong and Lan Yu gradually immerses the audience in a wonderful atmosphere.  Different from the more enthusiastic and straightforward expressions of emotions in foreign countries, it is full of oriental reserved and implicit love and ethical restraints, making them novel and full of interest.

    Different people may have different understandings of love, but no matter how they understand it, it does not prevent them from understanding that the essence of love is the mutual attraction of two people.

    In the movie "Lan Yu", although Director Guan tells the story of love between two men, because the essence of love is common, it is not difficult to understand, and the story is told in detail as the camera  , the emotions of the two protagonists in the film were naturally revealed and resonated with the audience.

    Therefore, after the movie ended, the audience was silent, and a moment later there was warm applause.

    Noticing that the film dealers in the front row were hurriedly shaking hands with Director Guan and saying something with a smile on their faces, Yuan Qiaoqiao knew that they had taken care of selling the film, and it looked like it could be sold at a good price, so she secretly laughed at herself.  Come on, she is not a pure filmmaker yet.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Yuan Qiaoqiao knew that she had taken care of selling the film, and it looked like it could be sold at a good price, so she secretly laughed at herself.
