The screening of "Ashes of Time" was scheduled for two o'clock in the afternoon the next day. Yu Dongqing and several other creative staff were still in suits and ties. The two ladies changed into evening dresses and took a car to the Festival Palace.
Still walking on the red carpet, after Yu Dongqing and the others entered the theater, all the audience applauded and welcomed them - it was not that they were given courtesy, all the creative staff of nominated films in the main competition unit would receive the same courtesy.
Yu Dongqing and the others were seated in the middle of the auditorium, with everyone's name on the chair. They collectively waved to the audience and took photos from the media. Only then did all pre-screening etiquette come to an end.
Yu Dongqing paid attention to the audience watching the movie. Most of them had Asian faces, probably Koreans and Japanese, but most of them were French Chinese and Chinese tourists.
Yes, after all, the genre of martial arts movies is popular in East Asian cultural circles, but Yu Dongqing saw Kristoff chatting with several white people in a low voice before the movie started.
I wonder if he can understand it?
Yu Dongqing turned his head and looked at the screen as the screening started.
The actors still speak Chinese, but the subtitles are bilingual in English and French.
Write the English name of the movie below the four Chinese characters Dragon Fei Feng Wu:
"Ashes of Time"
In the movie: Jingzhe, Beginning of Spring, Summer Solstice, White Dew, more than a dozen solar terms appear one after another, and time passes.
Very poetic.
Some netizens commented:
This movie talks about three states of love:
What you have, you don’t want
You can't get what you want
Don’t dare to ask for what you can get
Once you get entangled in this, life will be wasted
time is no longer life
It's already ashes before it burns
Yu Dongqing watched quietly.
The desert is gorgeous, vicissitudes of life, sexy, and powerful, and the sea water interspersed with it is colorful, psychedelic, and surging.
The desert and the waves are metaphors for the human heart - emotional barrenness, desolation, and yearning for the richness and nourishment of human nature. They blend and coexist with each other, and the connection and completion of all these are all in a time that Jie Jing cannot control.
Yu Dongqing suddenly remembered a passage written by Zhang Ailing in her novel "Love" in that time and space:
"When you meet the person you meet among millions of people, among millions of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, neither a step too early nor a step too late, if you just happen to catch up, there is nothing else to say. , only asked softly: "Oh, are you here too? "
"Time", "boundless", "wilderness" and the helplessness and chance of love happen to be the most important keywords of "Ashes of Time", and they are also the key to interpreting this movie.
But, how many people can understand it.
The movie ended in less than two hours, and the lights in the theater were bright.
Yu Dongqing and others stood up again, and the entire audience stood up and applauded. Yu Dongqing also saw Kristoff smiling and giving him a thumbs up in the audience.
Did he understand?
The next time is free. You can watch any film participating in the film festival. If it is a film shortlisted for the main competition unit, the organizer will arrange a red carpet session, all in the Palace of the Festival, where there will be a lot of tourists at once, and the whole line will be blocked. road.
As an invited creative team like Yu Dongqing and others, they can also enjoy the red carpet treatment at the opening of the film, which is separate from the general audience.
For a time, you could see celebrities walking on the red carpet every morning, noon and evening.
However, Yu Dongqing doesn't like this very much. He usually wears a T-shirt and jeans and enters the venue to watch with the general audience, along with Liu Yi.
Today they went to watch the premiere of "Empire 5".
The premiere of "Cinéma 5" was held at the Lumiere Hall in Cannes. Since the film was not in competition, there was no official red carpet.
But here there are more spectators and tourists.
Yu Dongqing and Liu Yi entered with their credentials and saw that the large screening hall, which could accommodate 2,000 people, was packed.
It seems that even at the Cannes Film Festival, which has a strong literary and artistic atmosphere, this kind of commercial blockbuster still has to be liked by the audience and movie fans.
"Where's Xiao Min?" Yu Dongqing asked.
"I was dragged to the red carpet by Liang Xiyan."
Ah?
Unlike Yu Dongqing and Liu Yi who are indifferent, Liang Xiyan is very keen on walking on the red carpet and does not miss important ceremonies.
She is beautiful, has beautiful clothes, and has a graceful manner. She has become a very popular actress at this Cannes Film Festival.
"Wen Rong and Jiahui also went?"
"Yeah. They are two handsome guys from Xiangjiang." Liu Yi said with a smile: "For people like me, don't embarrass yourself."
Yu Dongqing smiled slightly and said nothing.
Liu Yi's appearance is not impressive, but since he filmed "The Tuner", his popularity has risen sharply. He has also filmed several movies such as "The Piano" and has a good reputation. Occasionally participates in variety shows, speaks well, has high emotional intelligence, and is very popular. He has already become one of the first-line stars in the mainland.
The acting route is taken and does not require too many exposure occasions.
At this time, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie was about to start, and the two stopped chatting.
The "Galaxy Empire" series tells the story of several major forces in the galaxy fighting against each other. The storyline is very similar to the "Star Wars" in the original time and space.
"Silver Star 5" is said to be the last part of this series. It tells the story of the protagonist's return as a king, his desperate counterattack, and his defeat of the biggest BOSS in the galaxy. From then on, the galaxy returns to peace.
The film has the usual Hollywood blockbuster scenes, with lifelike battleships, mechas, and robot warriors, grand special effects, and many explosions, making it very enjoyable to watch.
As for the core of the plot
Yu Dongqing could only use the word "haha".
The two-and-a-half-hour movie finally ended. Yu Dongqing and Liu Yi walked out of the cinema. In the press hall outside, Kristoff led the film's creative staff to prepare for the press conference and communicate with media reporters and audiences.
Yu Dongqing usually does not participate in such occasions. Just as he was about to slip away, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Christopher: "Mr. Yu Dongqing! Please wait a moment."
Yu Dongqing had no choice but to stop.
Christophe sat down and gestured for him to follow him into the central circular platform.
"I solemnly introduce to you a guest. He is Mr. Yu Dongqing from China. His film "Ashes of Time" was nominated for this year's Cannes Film Festival!"
The film "Ashes of Time" has been screened at the film festival, and the organizing committee has also promoted it. Some of the audience present have also seen it. Now that they saw the director, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
"Mr. Yu, the movie "Ashes of Time" you filmed is full of Eastern philosophy and beauty, but I didn't understand it."
This is the voice of a young man.
The crowd immediately burst into good-natured laughter.
To be honest, among the 21 movies in the main competition, which one is not obscure?
It's an art film.
If you don’t understand, there’s no shame in it.
"Mr. Yu, did you write a promotional song called "Hotel California" for the Hollywood film "The Road Warrior"?!" Suddenly a girl asked loudly.
Yu Dongqing had no choice but to nod: "Yes, I wrote it at the request of a friend when my family and I traveled to the United States last August."
"Ah, the movie is terrible, but I like the song "Hotel California", it's so great!"
"'Hotel California'? I like it too, it's very nice."
Christopher looked a little embarrassed.
Originally, Yu Dongqing was invited to come over to increase his popularity and promote the film. This was great, but why did it become his press conference?
