Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The host was still an experienced host. When he saw this scene, he immediately squeezed to Yu Dongqing with a smile and pointed the microphone at him: "Mr. Yu, you are also an excellent director. May I ask, did you watch this "Silver Star 5" today? How does it feel?”

Of course Yu Dongqing understood what the other party meant.

At this time, if you say that other people's movies are lively and lively, but there is no plot, it is just a popcorn movie, it only shows that your EQ is too low and your IQ is worrying.

So Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "I just watched this "Silver Star 5". The filming was very good, the scenes were grand, and the special effects were lifelike. It is definitely a rare science fiction blockbuster. I also hope there will be more Audiences see this film.”

Everyone carries Huahuaqiaozi.

Christophe was delighted to hear this.

Yu Dongqing was also very happy. After saying this, he had nothing to do with himself. However, he didn't expect that the host didn't know where he was wrong, and suddenly said: "Mr. Yu, this "Silver Star 5" is indeed very good, and the inheritance It has the consistent excellent style of Hollywood science fiction blockbusters - visual impact and emotional resonance. Can you, China, make such a science fiction film?"

As soon as the host said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone knows that China has not produced any good science fiction movies in recent years. Not to mention China, even countries other than the United States have produced very few science fiction movies that are both popular and popular.

When you say this, aren't you just slapping someone in the face? !

Yu Dongqing was also very unhappy.

peat.

You are French, and I haven’t seen any good science fiction films produced in France?

In the original time and space, excellent science fiction movies like "The Fifth Element" were indeed directed by a Frenchman but were shot in Hollywood!

It seems that France made a "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets", but it was just a bad movie with gorgeous special effects, a parody of Hollywood.

Of course, now that we are in France and at the Cannes Film Festival, we still need to be polite.

So Yu Dongqing smiled slightly: "Mr. Host, you also said that "Silver Star 5" is a typical Hollywood-style science fiction blockbuster. So why don't we in China make Chinese-style science fiction movies?"

this.

The host was a little embarrassed.

Originally, it was a bit of an insinuation that China can only make movies about fighting and killing people or reacting to ignorance, but it is impossible to make such sci-fi blockbusters with a strong futuristic atmosphere.

As a result, people responded, "Who said we can't take pictures?" We are not just going to make a parody, we are going to make a science fiction movie with a Chinese style!

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Yu, what is a Chinese-style science fiction movie?"

"Mr. Host, today is not the time to talk about this topic, right?"

Too

Didn't you see the main creative staff of "Silver Star 5" glaring at you?

This is originally to promote our movie, why don't you change the topic to another movie?

Do you want to be paid or not?

The host immediately smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, what Mr. Yu just said is right. "Silver Star 5" is indeed a very good movie. Now I will randomly interview a live fan to hear his feelings."

"Sir, how did you feel after watching "Silver Star 5"?"

The topic was brought up. After Yu Dongqing said hello to Kristoff, he took the opportunity to leave the stage and exit the theater. When he went down the steps, Yu Dongqing found Liu Yi under the coconut tree across the street.

"You didn't go back?"

"Waiting for you, let's go together."

The two of them walked along the street towards the hotel.

"That host is really incompetent." Liu Yi couldn't help but say.

"Did you hear that too?"

"Yes, I'm not very good at English, but I can probably understand it. It's too retarded to ask that question on this occasion."

"Haha. Maybe after this road show is over, this host will be fired by Kristoff."

"You deserve it!" Liu Yi laughed.

The two walked for a while, and Liu Yi asked again: "Director Yu, do you really want to make a science fiction movie that is different from Hollywood?"

"Of course, what's the point of imitating others? Then I might as well just sell the copyright to Kristoff, and it would be easier to get tens of millions of dollars?" Yu Dongqing replied.

"Then what is Chinese science fiction?" Liu Yi asked again.

"Anyway, if you want to star in this movie, I'll tell you the outline of the adapted script."

Along the street, Yu Dongqing slowly started talking.

The story is told from the escape era in the novel.

Chinese astronaut Liu Peiqiang went to the Navigator Space Station when his son Liu Qi was four years old, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of being a navigator with his international peers.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Qi grew up. He and his sister Han Duoduo sneaked to the surface and stole the transport truck of his grandfather Han Ziang. As a result, he was not only arrested, but also suffered a global engine shutdown.

In order to repair the engine and prevent the Earth from colliding with Jupiter, the world began to launch a saturation rescue operation, and even Liu Qi and his car were forced to join. In the race against time, countless people continue to work hard, risking their own lives, just to continue the hope of survival for generations to come.

The story is relatively long. After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, the two of them had already walked to the door of the hotel.

Liu Yi took a long breath:

"Director Yu, I finally understand what you mean by Chinese science fiction. It's not the difference in scenes or special effects, but the spiritual core of the story - Hollywood science fiction blockbusters are basically all about personal heroism, and what you wrote The story is different, it is about collectivism, local feelings, family, country and world.”

"Yes, that's it."

"Yu Dong, I must play the role of Liu Peiqiang!"

"Haha, wait until I finish writing. Let's keep it a secret for now and don't spoil it!"

"Director Yu, don't worry, I still have a strict mouth when drinking."

The Cannes Film Festival lasted for ten days. During this period, Yu Dongqing and Liu Yi either went to watch movies, ate delicious food, visited scenic spots, the medieval-looking Lailan Group of Streets in Sugui District, or simply Going to Palm Beach to play, there is a feeling of being happy and forgetting about the past.

Today is the last day of the Cannes Film Festival. The closing ceremony and awards ceremony will be held in the evening. This year's various awards will be announced at this moment.

There was also a red carpet, and the stars hurried past and then entered the Palais des Festivals to wait for the exciting moment.

Yu Dongqing and the others were sitting together in suits and ties, and the two ladies were also dressed up.

Liu Yi sat next to Yu Dongqing and suddenly whispered: "Director Yu, I heard that there are websites outside betting on the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Our film "Ashes of Time" has the highest odds. Very high. "

"No way?" Yu Dongqing shook his head: "This year, many famous directors have come to participate with their own films, from France, Turkey, and Japan. The competition is very fierce. After all, martial arts films are a kind of film. Genre movies are too niche."

"Hey Director Yu, you don't know this. Do you know who the chairman of the jury of this film festival is? Alice Winocour! This old lady likes Chinese movies very much! She also has a soft spot for Chinese culture. , and ours is the only film to enter the main competition, do you think it’s very likely?”

Ah?

The Cannes Film Festival awards mechanism is a small jury system, usually composed of 5, 7 or 9 judges, including a jury chairman.

But this time there are only 5 people!

For this mechanism, award evaluation becomes extremely subjective and accidental, and depends more on the personal aesthetic preferences of the judges, the judges' personalities, and the atmosphere of the entire jury.

When judges with different creative backgrounds gather together, they are bound to have different views and opinions. So this time it comes to the judges' personality, which is what we call "combat power."

Alice Winocour's fighting ability is the strongest!

"According to what you say, is it really possible?" Yu Dongqing smiled.

According to his estimation, it is quite good to win the Best Director Award. Or the Best Actor award.

"Yes, otherwise, the website can give such high odds?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

At eight o'clock, the award ceremony officially began.
