Chapter 522 The Summer Palace
It is said that everyone has done Jing Ke that time, by his own Yishui River, but someone stabbed Qin and someone jumped into the river.
Lou Ye tried his best to make himself look tragic, as if he wanted to accomplish an eternal cause, rather than a funny self-drunk, although it was all death.
Unlike the big team in "Tengou", "The Summer Palace" is so pitiful that it makes people feel sad, Lou Ye, Naian, Guo Xiaodong, Hao Lei, that's all. Of course, he still smiled when he met his old friend.
"How is it?" Chu Qing asked when he entered the door.
"I refused to be tried again in the morning." He shook his head.
"Refused to be tried?"
"It's just that they refuse to review, and they can't. They are so afraid that they don't even want to give me a comment... Zhou Jiandong knows?"
"Know."
"He came out to talk to me and said that the film had technical problems and was not qualified. I asked what technical problems it was, and he said he couldn't see clearly."
Lou Ye learned the scene at that time and waved his hands and said, "I said it's enough to not see clearly. What does it mean to not see clearly? I'm telling you the details, what minutes and seconds can't be seen clearly? How do we make a review decision for films that can't be watched even if you can't watch? The movies were originally meant to look at the picture, but the pictures you took were not clear. How do we make a review decision? How do we make a review decision?"
He was like a lonely clown, imitating vividly, from loud voices to low murmurs, from dancing to disheartened. This means that "The Summer Palace" has completely become an underground movie, and the verdict waiting for can only be banned.
“…”
Once upon a time, Chu Qing and Jia Zhangke and Gu Zheng drank and chatted, and cursed three times together! Fuck! Fuck! Now, he only opened his mouth and couldn't spit out a word.
Because before he knew it, he had gone from a partner to a vested interest under the new film system. For example, "The World Without Thieves", it is the investment profit brought back by the increasingly prosperous market; for example, "Tengou", it is impossible to bring it to the exhibition openly before the policy is relaxed.
For a moment, he suddenly felt that he was despicable and betrayal, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
"Aoko. You are different, you are an actor."
Lou Ye seemed to notice Chu Qing's emotions, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "You have your job, I have my job. We all love movies, that's fine. Oh, by the way, our schedule is very high and will be released tomorrow, so don't come here."
"I..." He looked up suddenly.
"This is my own business. Now the country is very sensitive. Don't worry, I can handle it."
Lou Ye lit a cigarette and leaned against the sofa, just like Rotterdam was like at that time.
On the 18th, "The Summer Palace" was released.
There was no domestic reporter in the hall of 800 people, and they were all occupied by overseas and Hong Kong and Taiwan media. Because the film was so large, not only were it exposed, but there were many shots, which surprised the knowledgeable European and American media.
The audience's attitude was polarized, 80% of people thought it was very ordinary, and they only saw the cry of love and nothing about the soul. 20% liked it very much, saying that the director conveyed poetic freedom. It was a good work that was rare in many years.
Chu Qing did not attend the premiere, so he didn't know the specific content. He only learned something from the subsequent comments.
"Screen" calls it a political and romantic movie. Those sex scenes are a mini revolution: bold and breakthrough, and the characters involved are even more miserable, even surpassing the Green Goblin's "Dream of Paris".
These descriptions are very abstract and he is inconvenient to understand, but in the end, the critic quoted a classic line from "Fighting Club" to summarize:
"We are a generation forgotten by history. There is no purpose, no status, no war, no economic panic. Our wars are all spiritual wars. Our panic is just our life. We have watched TV since we were young and hoped that one day we will become rich people, stars or rock stars. However, we don't. That is the reality we are gradually facing... We are all numbly playing our social roles and faithfully fulfilling our social responsibilities. In fact, most people cannot understand what the goals we are fighting for are going to school, work, love, marriage, marriage, birth, old age, sickness and death, everything is step by step. You are also organic matter like other creatures, we are just here to go to the world, no different from other creatures."
Chu Qing suddenly understood what kind of story does "The Summer Palace" tell about it.
…………
"It's been 7 years since the "Divines Are Coming" and the first comeback was to film him. What do you think?"
Outside the hotel, there was a white fence with a back against the sea, and a female reporter was asking Jiang Wen.
"Yes, what am I thinking?"
Lao Jiang didn't want to answer and started to fool him.
The reporter was not stuck and continued to ask, "Well, what are you thinking?"
"I'm asking this question too. I ask myself a lot of questions every day, but I can't answer it."
"What questions are you asking yourself recently?"
"It's very boring, you won't be interested."
"I really want to know, why don't you tell me what questions did you ask myself today?"
Yoho!
Lao Jiang blinked his little eyes. This girl is pretty good!
This guy likes to deal with smart people and save trouble, so he continued the topic just now: "Actually, I refused, but I can't resist the grandson crying and begging me. I'm good at all, but I'm just soft-hearted. Look, I've smashed myself into it!"
“…”
Chu Qing really wants to kick him. Are you shameless?
It was so dying, the reporter turned around and asked, "Is that true?"
"Uh, yes. I said at the time that I haven't asked you for anything for so many years, just treat it as helping me." He really couldn't deny it.
Then, the girl asked a few more questions, and the standards were well grasped, and Lao Jiang was having a lot of fun.
The reporter's name is Fang Yimin, from Nandu, and has participated in the press conference of Chu Qing's hacking incident. Since Yuanlei went to "Southern Weekend" to play, Nandu began to train her successors. Her professional qualities are comparable to Yuanlei, but her appearance is higher.
The film festival has been open for three days, and she is the only one who can seize the exclusive fierce man from the siege. Think about it, Lao Jiang and Lao Chu are just like two door gods, and they can choke those reporters to death!
It’s not intentional pretending to be timid, but talented attributes, there’s nothing we can do about it.
Speaking of which, because Cannes' style was too conservative last year, the competition units were full of safety masters, and they were even criticized for three months. This year, the wind direction naturally changed, with only four people, Moriti from Italy, Almodov from Spain, Ken Lodge from Britain, and Carismaki from Sweden, plus Jiang Wen, who is half a master, all other directors are Xinding.
However, they are also purebred blood. They either won the Golden Camera Award or participated in various training camps and student competitions in Cannes. The hard-working Muggles can only die.
In the past few days, Chu Qing has been running around in cocktail parties and activities, and only took the time to watch Almodovar's "Return". He likes Penelope Cruz very much.
Mr. Fan was even busier. He stood nine times in four days, and changed five sets of dresses and his breasts were squeezed all over.
The couple attended the film festival at the same time, but they couldn't meet each other day and night. Often, you were asleep, but I had not come back, and I woke up, and you were out of work.
Fortunately, on the 21st day, the two of them briefly reunited.
This was a slightly simple award ceremony, but the guests at the conference were all awesome, including Jacob, the chairman of the film festival, as well as members of the jury.
Lao Wang was still wearing sunglasses and rushed forward. French Minister of Culture De Vable gave him a "Knight of Art of the French Republic."
This thing was born in 1957 and is used to commend international friends. It is divided into three levels: commander, officer, and knight. It is not valuable, and it can be sold in one batch. However, it is a national honor at least.
After receiving the honor, Lao Wang expressed his gratitude seriously in Mandarin, Cantonese and English, saying that when "Year of Love" was exhibited four years ago, he wanted to award him the conference. Unfortunately, he was too busy at that time and finally won the award this time. He was moved and was very happy.
"Tsk tsk!"
Mr. Fan looked at him very enviously, poked his husband, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, when will you get one back?"
"What do you think Chinese cabbage?"
"Old Jia can even take it, what's wrong with you?" She reached out and wanted to pinch it.
"Yeah, I'll try my best! I'll try my best!" He immediately admitted defeat.
Mr. Fan glanced around and muttered, "I tell you, Zhou Xun is coming, and Lin Jiaxin is coming, too. Please be honest with me!"
Chapter completed!
