The day when the idol is disqualified, when the superstar rises

"In fact, the most regrettable thing is the award for best director. The jury originally wanted to award this award to Director Xie. In recent years, Cannes has been criticized by many for not paying attention to female filmmakers, so after watching the premiere After that, the best director and best actress are the awards that most of the judges think can be awarded to "Blue". Of course, Director Xie and Qiu Shui are also really outstanding.

"However, there was an episode in the middle. Director Ke Xizhe praised Xiaochuan's soundtrack greatly. He became famous for his musical films. He liked the symphony design throughout the whole film. You also know that he specially went to the full version. The symphony. When watching the movie, this is also a place that impressed everyone very much. A Chinese movie can actually integrate the Western symphony and the movie so well.

"Many judges originally thought that the film used the existing works of some masters, which is also one of the reasons why the film magazine did not score high. At first they thought that the music with such a heavy weight in the film was just existing works. It was not created based on the theme of the movie, so the movie has a strong sense of proposition, too much craftsmanship, and some prejudice.

"After learning that it was created by Chinese people, everyone was extremely surprised, especially it was created by the screenwriter of the film, which was even more incredible. Moreover, Director Xie also emphasized many times in the interview that Ogawa's contribution to the film went beyond the scope of screenwriting, so The Best Screenplay Award became the first award to be determined."

At the afterparty after the award ceremony, director Wang Haize, one of the judges of this year's film festival, told Wang Chuan, Ruan Qiushui, Wu Min and Xie Yan the inside story of the selection process in a low voice.

Wang Haize is actually a director of the same generation as Xie Yan. He is only slightly older, but he became famous early. His films are often nominated for the three major European film festivals. Although he has not yet won the most important award, the domestic film industry generally believes that he is just time issue.

He is a talkative person with a more elegant temperament. This time "Blue" can win two awards. As a fellow, Wang Haize also contributed a lot in it, although he did not mention that he was in the selection process. What was said, but in the interviews I received, I have been building momentum for "Blue", praising the film.

Now it is mainly Wang Haize who is talking, and Wang Chuan and the others are listening. He has to talk too much, and he drank a lot of wine, which made his mouth dry.

After taking another sip of champagne to moisten his throat, Wang Haize continued.

"After the best screenwriter is determined, the rest is to award the best director or best actress to "Blue". Because there are many outstanding films this year, everyone has reached an agreement at the beginning that there is no film worthy of three awards for recognition. The consensus. There were many people who supported Director Xie as the best director, but Qiu Shui's performance is even more leading among the actresses in this year. After all, it is such a completely female film.

"Later, they considered that Director Xie was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes for the first time, so they used the reason of 'I hope to see more outstanding works by Director Xie in the future' and chose to give it to Qiushuiyinghou. It is really very Regrettably, but also somewhat powerless.

"However, this time "Blue" missed the best director and three film awards. The outside world's criticism of Cannes' lack of emphasis on female filmmakers should increase again. The next time Director Xie comes with better works, he should We can successfully win the best director or the Palme d'Or."

Wang Haize's words made Wang Chuan really dumbfounded.

If domestic movie fans knew that Xie Yan missed the best director because of giving Wang Chuan the best screenplay, Wang Chuan would definitely be blackened.

The weight gap between the two awards is really too big. How long has the country been waiting for the next best director in Cannes, but I have never heard of anyone waiting for the next best screenwriter.

Wang Haize's words are also very interesting. Considering the criticism from the outside world, he decided to use Wang Chuan's best screenwriter to sacrifice Xie Yan. In fact, it is essentially because of prejudice.

The best screenwriter is really dispensable. Giving Wang Chuan the best screenwriter is actually more like an excuse for not wanting to give Xie Yan the best director, rather than a reason.

In fact, giving Xie Yan the best director will definitely make this Cannes Film Festival acclaimed. The Cannes Film Festival has only had two female best directors before. If Xie Yan is given, she will not only become the third, but also European and American films. The best female director outside the circle, the buff can be fuller.

But after all, the criticism from the outside world hasn't burned on me, so it doesn't affect the judges to help them win the most important awards.

After all, the Chinese film industry is not in the circle of Cannes. If "Blue" is a work made by a European female director, the first consideration of the judges is definitely whether to give her the Palme d'Or or the best director, not whether to give it to her or not. Give.

However, at the beginning, Penguin's public relations direction for "Blue" was mainly based on Ruan Qiushui's actress, except that Wang Chuan mentioned to Jiang Mu that he wanted to see Ruan Qiushui as an actress, after the premiere, he could also feel that the actress won the award Hopes are greatly increased, and the various interviews and film reviews at the film festival are also the main force to build momentum for Ruan Qiushui.

Xie Yan was also relatively ignored on his own side...

"Better work" is simple to say, but no one knows when a director's best work will be shot. There are too many directors who are invincible in their first work, and then pull their hips as if they have changed their own directors.

Xie Yan appeared to be relieved.

"I also hope that I can shoot better works in the future."

She smiled.

While talking, an old man with a smile on his face came over.

"Hey, what are you talking about here?"

He spoke English, and Wang Chuan translated it adaptively.

But Wang Chuan really didn't want to translate, nor did he want to answer him.

Why do you have to speak their language when talking to foreigners...

And this is the "culprit" Ke Xizhe who made Xie Yan regret losing the best director.

After he came over, he patted Wang Chuan on the shoulder kindly, acting as if Wang Chuan should be grateful to him for letting him win the best screenwriter.

... Sigh, he has come together so much, let's take care of it.

Wait until everyone else has finished greeting him.

"I'm very honored to hear that director Ke Xizhe likes my soundtrack and script very much."

Wang Chuan also speaks English, or adaptive translation.

"Hahahaha!" The old man was as happy as a child, "I thought this trip to Cannes would be boring, but I didn't expect such a surprise as "Blue"!"

Then he dragged Wang Chuan to the other side to chat.

When he learned that Wang Chuan was still an actor, the old man was even more surprised, and even said that he would find Wang Chuan to make a movie if he had the opportunity in the future-this made Wang Chuan complain in his heart again that he admired his character design, and for Xie Yan called Qu once, the old man didn't even know he was an actor...

However, it is true that Ke Xizhe likes symphony music. He talked with Wang Chuan about a lot of related music topics. Wang Chuan still couldn't answer.

It's just that the soundtrack in "Blue" can't be completely "created" by Wang Chuan. After Wang Chuan moved the score, Penguin asked an elder of the China Symphony Orchestra to record it.

Then Wang Chuan, who got used to making pop music, or simply extracted piano scores, was pointed out a lot of questions. The arrangement of the symphony was too complicated, and people would also focus on asking Wang Chuan to add each instrument into it. What is your motivation, why do you want to go that way, and also give suggestions for improvement...

I haven’t studied the arrangement seriously, let alone Wang Chuan, who is a classical arranger, just went straight to Kasparta, but they are also very polite. Every time Wang Chuan feels as if the improved one is indeed better...

So in the end, the soundtrack of the whole movie was actually done more by the old man-Wang Chuan only lost the score, and the signature was also tied with Wang Chuan's name. This time the Cannes Film Festival also invited the old man to participate, but he didn't happy to come.

Wang Chuan did not tell Ke Xizhe these things, and he probably thought it was irrelevant. It would be better if he had more affection for Wang Chuan because of the music, because——

"I'm actually writing a script recently, and I don't know if I'll be honored to have you direct it after the creation is finished."

Wang Chuan smiled shyly.

Ke Xizhe is an American, and this year's big winner "Season of Heart" is also an American movie. Just after the awards ceremony, when Wang Chuan took time to surf in China to see how others praised Ruan Qiushui, he saw a saying that this year's Cannes was influenced by the United States, and someone picked up that one of the judges, Ke Xizhe, and the director were actually old friends.

Wang Chuan has basically confirmed that "Blue" was created by him in the name of supporting himself. It is true that the European film industry is not completely in the same pot as Hollywood, but the United States does often urinate on Europe.

So Wang Chuan hoped that he could get something from Ke Xizhe to make up for it, even if it was verbal, he turned his face and denied it afterwards.

For actors, acting skills are actually not the decisive factor for winning awards. In the mature film industry, it is also a key factor to follow the big directors to increase their influence first. It is much better than the effect of director Huaxia.

Although Kosiche's musicals are now almost insulators for awards like Oscars, his reputation in the world film circle is really good. The last time he won the best picture at the Oscars was 15 years ago. work.

If Wang Chuan can impress him with the script, he can lay a solid foundation for his career in winning awards.

Of course, even if he was not moved, Wang Chuan decided to release the news that Ke Xizhe admired him, wanted him to be the hero of his new work, and planned to use the script he wrote before leaving Cannes.

Make the best use of everything!

Who made him tell the public so many times that the soundtrack and script of "Blue" are very bright?

"Oh? Could it be that the new script you wrote is a musical?"

The excitement on Ke Xizhe's face was well acted.

"Well, as I said just now, before I became a screenwriter, I was a singer, so I have always liked musicals, and I have always dreamed of creating a musical script."

Wang Chuan said sincerely.

Wang Chuan is going to give him the script of "La La Land". This movie can be called a love letter to musicals. The movie is full of feelings. Everyone who likes musicals will definitely be attracted by it. move.



So Wang Chuan is actually not worried that this script will not impress Ke Xizhe, but he has some doubts that after the script is given to him, maybe he will not agree to let himself act. After all, a Chinese sings English songs in Hollywood musicals and pursues jazz. , It will almost be questioned instinctively, but this is also the effect that Wang Chuan chose this movie to achieve. If this Chinese person has done so well, the contrast caused by the face-slapping will be too interesting.

So in order to ensure that I can play the leading role, I have to pay attention to some strategies.

"Oh? Is it a Chinese musical?"

This is where Caesiche's instinctive doubts came.

"Of course not, but..."

Wang Chuan talked to him about the general framework of the movie and some so-called plot ideas.

"Sounds really good, how about it? Didn't you say that the script will be finished in the second half of the year? "Blue" should also go to the United States to participate in the awards season promotion. Then you can bring the script to me. If I really decide to shoot, I promise you that I will definitely let you be the male lead."

Ke Xizhe said seriously and enthusiastically.

I can't see how perfunctory it is.

As far as what Wang Chuan told him, it is not enough to be a really good evaluation. The plot of "La La Land" is really bad. Its highlights are the music and the final ending design.

Ke Xizhe came here just to exchange pleasantries, and there was not enough time for Wang Chuan to talk as much.

"I'm so happy, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Wang Chuan also preached earnestly.

The two finally hugged each other affectionately.

After Ke Xizhe left.

"Looks like you guys had a good chat?"

Ruan Qiushui came over.

"Yes," Wang Chuan nodded with a smile, "He promised me that if he likes my script, he will let me be the hero of his new movie."

Wang Chuan was talking to Ruan Qiushui.

"Ya Shannan and Lai Mingxiu!"

A somewhat crappy Chinese accent beside me said happily.

Looking back, it was the leading actress of the h country movie "Winter Day". She was not very old, so her acting skills were still a little immature, and she did not pose a threat to Ruan Qiushui.

During the award ceremony, Wang Chuan felt that the crew had been looking at her all the time, and when he turned his head to look at her, he also looked at her several times. Now it seems that it is because she is a fan of "Long Vacation"...

After "The Unspeakable Secret" was a big success at the box office, "Long Vacation" took advantage of Wang Chuan's popularity and was also broadcast on a TV station in country H. Wang Chuan heard that the ratings were also quite good, but he didn't expect such a hit Influence, I thought it was a routine press release to brag about.

Seeing the two of them turned their heads, she asked in English with poor pronunciation if she could take a photo with her, and introduced her name, Li Xinhui.

After taking a photo with her, she chirped and said that she liked "Blue" and "The Unspeakable Secret" very much, and then she liked Wang Chuan's songs very much.

Her English level is average, and Wang Chuan felt that what she said meant that she was his fan, but he was not sure if she made a mistake.

Finally, she asked Wang Chuan for an autograph, but she couldn't find anything to sign, so Wang Chuan promised to give it to her tomorrow, and took a group photo with Wang Chuan before leaving.

Really a fan...

Until the afterparty of more than an hour ended, Wang Chuan rejected some invitations to him, and once again let Xiao Yang watch people flash into Ruan Qiushui's room.

Tonight, several pinches and pleadings could not stop Wang Chuan from helping Ruan Qiushui celebrate.
