The rise of the second generation of Huayu

After watching the beautiful scenery, it is natural to appreciate the food.

It's a pity that the pudding is spread with eggs, which feels similar to egg pancakes, but the taste is not quite right.

What else is salted and dried cod, isn't this just salted fish?

Well, really just taste it, these things are not only expensive, but also taste like that.

After eating, the three of them unanimously decided to go to a Chinese restaurant to find something to eat next time.

The Cannes Film Festival has officially started, but "Qin Island by the Sea" won't be screened until three days later.

No way, Lin Xun is not well-known, and neither are Wang Zhiwen and Xu Qing in Cannes.

It is obviously impossible for movies like them to get enough attention, and they can only rely on quality to win.

Like this year's opening movie "Elephant", its director, Gus Vansant, as a well-known Hollywood director, is treated differently.

"Elephant" has not only become the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, but the film has not yet been screened, and many French media are already optimistic about Gus Vansant's Palme d'Or.

"Lin Xun, this is director Lou Ye. Director Lou, this is Lin Xun. His "Qin Island by the Sea" was also shortlisted for Cannes."

"Director Lou, hello!"

Lin Xun was not overly enthusiastic, but he was still very polite, after all, he was an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

As for Lou Ye, he was also very cold, but he maintained the proper manners.

"Hello there!"

It's very simple, Lin Xun doesn't like the sixth generation of directors, and Lou Ye doesn't like Lin Xun either.

As a director who started making movies in the 90s, he naturally experienced the dilemma of not being able to get investment.

Even in order to make a movie, you have to raise money yourself, work for others, and help them shoot MVs. What haven’t you done?

But now, a young man who has just graduated can easily get the investment, which makes him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Although they hate each other, Zhang Zhihua and Zhu Yongde on the other side chat very well.

It's really not easy for an old man who is nearly 60 years old to be a photographer and a producer at the same time.

Lin Xun and Lou Ye had nothing to say, instead they chatted well with Liu Huohua, Zhang Ziyi, and Lu Bingbin.

Both Liu Huohua and Zhang Ziyi are from the Huaxia Academy of Drama. Although they are not from the same school, they both know each other.

Why do you know each other?

Because after traveling back then, the first thing Lin Xun did was to take people to Huaxia Drama Academy.

What?

Naturally, it's about beauties, class of 96, whether it's Yenching Film Academy or Huaxia Academy of Drama, it's a proper star class.

However, apart from Yan Danchen in Yanjing Film Academy, he really didn't feel the beauty of Little Yanzi.

On the other hand, Huaxia Academy of Drama has eight golden flowers, Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan, Zeng Li...

Taking advantage of the green years in school, if you don't take a good look, you will regret it in the future.

As a result, a group of idiots were dumbfounded. They not only scared the girls from other schools, but also recruited boys from Huaxia Drama Academy.

Liu Huohua, a senior senior, took the lead at the time and blocked Lin Xun and others into the school.

Fortunately, Lin Xun reacted quickly and was the first to run away.

The rest of Zhao Zhengyang and others were said to have been forced to sing "Conquer" before they were allowed to leave.

Later, Lin Xun participated in the short film competition of Huaxia Drama Academy, and the actor was looking for Liu Huohua.

"You can do it, you are now a great director!"

"What about the great director, didn't you see that I was scolded?"

"Come on, I don't know you yet. If you really have an opinion, how can you still be so calm now?"

……

On the other hand, Zhang Zhihua and Zhu Yongde have agreed that they will be there to support each other when their films are released.

This is what it should be. When Chinese filmmakers go abroad, they naturally help each other.

In this way, Lin Xun took advantage, after all, Lou Ye and Zhang Ziyi were somewhat famous in Cannes.

I didn't continue the chat, because the movie is about to start, and everyone is looking forward to this movie directed by Hollywood.

The movie began to be screened. The movie "Elephant" is actually based on real events, such as the vicious school shootings that happened in the United States a few years ago.

I have to say that this kind of subject matter is very flattering, as long as the filming is not bad, the evaluation will not be too bad.

Moreover, the actors used in the filming of this film are all ordinary people who have no acting experience.

The advantage of this is that it is more real, and at the same time, the judges of the film festival are not just good at it.

There are also shortcomings, that is, the performance is too immature, and it is easy for people to see the traces of the performance.

In addition to Lin Xun and others, Patrice Jaap, chairman of the jury of the film festival, and many other judges also arrived at the scene.

Judging from the reaction on the scene, the evaluation of this movie will not be too low.

"Lin Xun, come here quickly, let's go see Jiang Wen."

"Director Jiang, hello!"

"Xiao Lin, I'm looking forward to your movie. When will your movie be shown?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I will definitely come then."

……

That's right, Jiang Wen is also a judge at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which is a good thing for Lin Xun.

It's not that there is anything shady, but that he can recommend "Qin Island by the Sea" to the judges through Jiang Wen.

If the judges don't even know about your movie, or even watched it, everything is in the air.

In addition to "Qin Island by the Sea", there are many other movies screened today, and they are the ones that attract the most attention.

The Canadian director's "Into the Crowd" and the Turkish film "Uzak" were all well-received.

Lin Xun also read it, and it was really good.

The next day, when "Purple Butterfly" was screened, Lin Xun also came to the screening room.

Sure enough, many fans at the scene recognized Zhang Ziyi, and now "Hero" is still being screened overseas.

The fifth-generation directors always like to magnify injustice and the ugliness of human nature, and sublimate movies through criticism.

The movie "Purple Butterfly" is not bad, but, a spy movie has been turned into a romance movie.

In other words, some priorities are irrelevant.

Because Lou Ye's movie was released, it was rare for a few reporters from Huaxia to show up. Just a few casual interviews would be a piece of news at that time.

Lin Xun was no exception. Just as he was about to leave, he was immediately caught by sharp-eyed reporters.

"Director Lin Xun, what do you think of "Purple Butterfly" directed by Lou Ye?"

Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, just to praise others, of course Lin Xun would.

"Needless to say about Director Lou's strength, the movie "Purple Butterfly" is very good, and Liu Huohua and Zhang Ziyi also performed very well."

"What about you, Director Lin? We know that your work has also been shortlisted for Cannes. When will it be screened?"

"Tomorrow, if you are interested, you can take a look."

"Of course, we will definitely be there to support Director Lin."

Thinking this way in my heart, the actual thinking of several reporters is, of course you have to watch it, if you don't watch it, how can you complain?

In fact, on the first day of the opening ceremony, it was not "Elephant", which later won the Palme d'Or, but "Dogville" that received the most attention.

The film, starring Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, premiered at Miel Hall to critical acclaim.
