This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 295: "Heart Labyrinth" Premiere (asking for monthly ticket)
"Labyrinth of the Heart" premiered in Cannes on May 5.

As a new director, Hao Yun had little appeal in Cannes.

He and his team started distributing flyers early on, which was a necessary procedure.

This way people will know that there is such a work and when and where the first screening of this work will be held.

Jiang Wen also came over, and the time he spent with Zhou Yun was very short.

Jiang Wen even helped distribute a few flyers, but was soon pulled aside by an acquaintance to chat.

During the film festival in Cannes, filmmakers are everywhere.

Director Hao Yun enjoys distributing flyers everywhere.

Because you can extract attributes.

Although Hao Yun was delayed for a few days because of the promotion of "New Police Story", his French level improved rapidly through handing out flyers, shaking hands with others and having simple chats.

There are various other properties as well.

There were too many attributes to use up, so Hao Yun had to add multiple attributes to his body at once.

The side effect is that his spirit can hardly bear it.

But he still kept smiling, cherishing the opportunity to reap the benefits of the Cannes Film Festival.

As for movies, the organizers of the film festival will also help promote them.

They put up large posters at some major occasions with introductions in at least four languages: English, French, German and Chinese. People who see the introduction and are interested will choose to watch the movie.

In addition, there is a group of filmmakers who were specially invited to attend the premiere.

When the time was almost up, Hao Yun and the others appeared on the red carpet again.

In addition to the opening red carpet, the organizers will also arrange red carpet sessions for each film shortlisted for the main competition unit and the screening film.

In fact, it was the same red carpet that I walked on a few days ago.

The red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival is so short that it will refresh your perception. No wonder many stars refuse to leave even when urged, because if they just walk there, it will only be over in a few tens of seconds.

But it is indeed one of the most watched movie red carpets in the world.

The guests invited to attend included Quentin Tarantino, who was in the competition section of this year's film festival, and of course the Chinese judge Xu Ke. Jiang Wen also invited several other judges.

There is no need to avoid suspicion at this time.

Because Quentin and his friends watch premieres and screenings every day, and they have watched quite a few films since the film festival began.

When it was Jiang Wen's turn to produce a movie, you chose not to come. That would be a sign of guilty conscience.

Almost all the Chinese filmmakers currently in Cannes are here.

Actors, directors, film critics, capital...

Wang Jiawei, wearing sunglasses, was particularly conspicuous in the crowd. However, he was not so arrogant as to think that the movie directed by newcomer Hao Yun posed no threat to him at all.

Besides, I'm not that stingy.

Even if Hao Yun won the award, it doesn't mean he surpassed Wang Jiawei.

Many media outlets also came.

The definition of a new director at the Cannes Film Festival is one whose work is shortlisted or exhibited for the first time.

Even if you are fifty years old now and have made twenty films, but you have never been nominated or participated in an exhibition before, you are also a new director.

But Hao Yun’s new director is completely different.

He is new from the inside out, because "The Heart Labyrinth" is his first time as a screenwriter and director.

I had never even made a short video to practice before.

This makes everyone very curious and wants to have a sneak peek.

After the red carpet, the main creators went into the theater lounge to wait for the show. This was their last time to go to the toilet.

Time is very short.

Everyone was adjusting their mood, except Hao Yun who looked indifferent, even Zhou Yun was a little nervous.

She also stars in this movie. In theory, any film shortlisted for the competition unit has a chance to win any award.

She has a chance to win the Best Actress award...

Of course, that would be really ridiculous, as her role is very small and the acting style in "The Heart Labyrinth" is mainly natural, with no depth at all.

As for why Hao Yun didn't care, no one was interested in exploring it.

This kid's brain circuit is different from that of normal people. If he behaves differently from normal people, just get used to it.

No one spoke. After a short break, everyone entered the theater one after another.

When Hao Yun and his friends entered, the audience applauded them.

This has nothing to do with the movie. Any movie exhibited here will follow this fixed process.

The seats for the main creators are all in the middle of the audience, and their names will be written on the chairs.

Before Hao Yun and his friends came to their seats, they stood up and gestured to the audience for the media to take pictures, and then sat down to watch the movie. The movie was in Chinese, so it was definitely impossible to dub it in English.

It has nothing to do with whether you kneel down and lick the cat or not.

Filmmakers feel that original dialogues are more emotional.

In order to make the films understandable to people from other countries, subtitles are usually used. These filmmakers are experienced and can understand the plot of the film without any hindrance when reading the subtitles.

In the past, Hao Yun only knew what the finished film would look like after it was released.

This time it was a film he directed, and the editing was done entirely according to his wishes.

He knows this film inside and out.

So, he had time to secretly observe other people's reactions to the movie.

No one cried.

This is not a sentimental movie. There is no sentimental part in the whole movie.

Anyone who cries is definitely a spy hired by the rival.

From Hao Yun's perspective, at least everyone was watching the movie seriously, and they were trying very hard.

After the 110-minute movie ended, the lights came on again, and Hao Yun and his team stood up to accept the audience's applause, once again feeling the world's respect for movies.

Then they came to the stage in the screening room to answer questions from the media and filmmakers.

"The Heart Labyrinth" was shown at 11 o'clock, and it was almost one o'clock when it was over.

It is the last one in the morning.

This is actually a very good time period because there is no need to rush to make room for the next show, and you can communicate more with everyone, thus deepening their impression of the movie.

There were staff from the organizing committee handing out microphones on site.

After a foreign reporter got the microphone, he immediately asked a question.

"The structure of the film is a bit complicated, and I believe many viewers today may not understand it - as a newcomer, why did you choose such a complicated way of expression?"

"Are you talking about non-linear narrative? I think it is a tool for the author. I like this narrative style very much. More importantly, this story is very suitable for expression in this way. I chose this style at the time..."

Hao Yun responded directly in English.

This kind of occasion does not involve Zheng Zhi, nor will it make people feel that they are fawning on foreign countries, so using English is more conducive to communication.

Most of the following questions were directed to him as the director.

Here, we will not prefer to communicate with Jiang Wen just because he is more famous. This is a respect for the movie itself.

Even the reporters from China only talked about movies and didn't ask about gossip.

At most, some media outlets didn't quite believe that Hao Yun, as a newcomer, could shoot something like this, and they expressed doubts in their words and deeds, suspecting that Jiang Wen was behind the scenes.

Chen Kaige received similar treatment back then, and he suffered no less criticism than Hao Yun.

But this is normal communication.

It is precisely because of this kind of doubt that it further demonstrates the excellence of the film.

It’s so good that it doesn’t look like it was taken by a newcomer.

In order to deal with such doubts, Uncle Jiang gave Hao Yun a suggestion, asking him to show the comics he drew for "The Heart Labyrinth" and the storyboard manuscripts used in filming at the film festival.

Now...

Everyone knew what Jiang Wen's storyboard manuscript looked like, and when they looked at Hao Yun's, most of the doubts on the scene immediately dissipated.

The topic centered around "The Heart", but soon spread to all aspects of the movie.

A normal new director may not have so much knowledge in his mind, and will soon be emptied out by tricky filmmakers in the process.

But Hao Yun won’t.

He has acquired so many attributes that he has never been short of anything.

These attributes come from international directors, screenwriters, actors, and film critics. With their support, Hao Yun can not only answer questions appropriately, but also have discussions with filmmakers on site.

This process can speed up his absorption of the attributes and deepen his understanding of the attributes.

Even if it is a temporary attribute, it can improve his film skills.

It was such a pleasant chat.

The movie discussion didn't end until 2:30, when the next show was about to begin.

Everyone is used to this fast pace at the film festival.

Just eat two pieces of bread and drink some water, and you can walk on the next red carpet and continue your crazy but enjoyable movie-watching journey.

It’s once a year, tiring but happy.

Hao Yun is no exception.

He ate something in a hurry, then ran to walk the red carpet of the great movie "Old Boy", and then followed everyone in to watch the movie as an audience member.
