The film officially began as the main creative team was introduced.

Everyone in the theater was watching the big screen, eager to appreciate this year's Cannes Palme d'Or winner.

The movie is nearly two hours long.

The movie ends.

The theater lights came on.

These special "audience members" were deeply moved at this moment, and some of them had tears welling up in their eyes.

The movie story is very touching.

But it left the audience feeling conflicted.

How can I put it?

More than half of the people have had things stolen from them.

Cell phones, cash, suitcases, and other items.

They hate thieves to the core.

And the family in the movie.

Except for the youngest daughter, they are all 'thieves'.

But there are differences between thieves.

They only stole daily necessities. In order to "survive," they didn't steal cash or cell phones, just things like handwashing water and fruit.

This makes it difficult for viewers to hate the 'thief'.

While watching the movie, I was worried that if the father, played by Fu Dalong, got caught stealing, who would take care of the son and daughter, played by Zhang Ruoyun and Yang Chaoyue?

Everyone felt sorry for the thief.

My values ​​and beliefs have all changed.

There are also many details in the movie.

Yang Chaoyue plays the role of the youngest daughter.

The female audience members in the theater were deeply moved.

Most of the female audience members present were born in the 1970s or 1980s.

This was an era when the preference for sons over daughters was severe.

It was as if I saw my past self in the movie.

In the movie, when the family tries to buy clothes for the youngest daughter, played by Yang Chaoyue, she always shakes her head, saying no, because she has never received new clothes before and always wears other people's hand-me-downs.

Furthermore, the second half of the film, where the audience learns that the youngest daughter's real name is "Wang Zhaodi," has a significant impact on female viewers.

Including some shots.

#The mother, played by Yu Feihong, and the youngest daughter, played by Yang Chaoyue, are in the bathroom, showing off the scars on their hands. The camera lingers on that moment, deeply moving the audience. These two "mother and daughter," unrelated by blood, are both pitiful victims of abuse.#

#During the New Year, fireworks were set off in the city. A family looked up at the fireworks from inside a tightly packed building. The camera work was brilliant; it was an overhead shot, capturing the family of six looking up at the fireworks through the narrow space of the building. The flashes of the fireworks shone on their faces in front of the door—the most natural lighting possible. The lighting was superb. Furthermore, the fireworks weren't actually in the frame, as if to say that these fireworks didn't belong to this family of six; even watching the 'fireworks' was stolen.#

#The father, played by Fu Dalong, was interrogated and asked, "As a father, don't you feel particularly ashamed to teach your son to steal?" The close-up shot of Fu Dalong's silent facial expression was superb acting. His line, "That's all I can teach him," also represents the helplessness of laid-off workers in Northeast China who have lost their survival skills.#

There are many such scenes in "Shoplifters".

"Slap! Slap!"

The theater erupted in enthusiastic applause.

clear.

Why is Lu Chen a newcomer, and still a student majoring in directing?

It beat out a host of renowned European and American directors, including veteran British director Ken Loach, to win the Palme d'Or, the highest prize at Cannes.

After watching "Shoplifters".

I think it's well-deserved.

It would be unreasonable not to give "Shoplifters" a chance.

I also understand why Yu Feihong was able to become the first Cannes Film Festival Best Actress.

The scene where he was being interrogated was incredibly moving, and the line he uttered, "Does giving birth to a child make you a mother?", was very impactful.

The word "mother".

How to define it.

I believe no one has a real answer.

But it's much more than just giving birth to a child; "mother" at the very least includes love.

"Thank you!" Lu Chen and the creative team of "Shoplifters" stood up and thanked everyone.

"I never imagined there were such pitiful girls in the world." Yang Mi wiped her eyes; she had just cried while reading it.

"Yes~" Liu Yifei didn't expect that there were such pitiful people in this world.

Everyone was amazed by the great attention to detail in the film.

Lu Chen doesn't have these kinds of life experiences either.

After all, her mother was Han Sanping's younger sister, and came from a revolutionary family.

At this moment, the staff led Lu Chen and the main actors to the stage to be interviewed by the media reporters.

After watching the movie, the media reporters present had many questions for director Lu Chen and the film's stars.

……

Beiping, Guochen Hotel

Liu Yan took out the room key, opened the door, and helped Lu Chen into the hotel room.

After the premiere.

Director Lu attended the dinner.

There were more than ten famous directors at the dinner party.

Liu Yan had never seen so many famous directors on set in his entire life.

If it weren't for Lu Chen, this would have been a dinner party he would never have been able to attend in his entire life.

The dinner party was attended by many senior figures in the industry.

So Lu Chen drank a little too much.

After helping Lu Chen sit down, she quickly poured him a glass of warm water and handed it to him, saying, "Director Lu, this room must be very expensive for one night, right?"

I heard it costs two thousand a night.

They were all frightened.

I only need to pay 500 yuan a month to rent a room in Beiping.

Moreover, 2,000 yuan in 2006 was a month's salary for many migrant workers in Beiping, some of whom earned less than 2,000 yuan a month.

"I'm worried about the money." Lu Chen nodded at Liu Yan. "Okay, I'll come to your house next time."

Liu Yan waved her hand, "Director Lu, this isn't my home, it's a rented apartment, and it's not very big, so it's not comfortable for me to live here."

Director Lu is a Palme d'Or winner.

The overseas rights to "Shoplifters" sold for 50 million.

Liu Yan felt embarrassed to ask him to stay in a rented room.

"I'd be comfortable living in any house that's yours."

"Director Lu, I'll run you a bath, you can take a bath first~" Liu Yan was overjoyed to hear this.

"No rush." ​​Lu Chen reached out and pulled Liu Yan over, letting her lie in his arms. He deliberately tugged at her collar and looked down at her. The visual impact was absolutely stunning.

Liu Yan blushed deeply under everyone's gaze, her delicate appearance captivating.

Lu Chen looked at it for a while, then tried it out.

So beautiful!

Liu Yan leaned closer, saying, "Director Lu, I think the film reporter's comment about 'Shoplifters' today is quite accurate."

#Bound by no blood relation, adrift on the margins of society, without anyone to care for them, they protect and comfort each other#

One sentence encapsulates the film's theme.

"It's late at night, let's not talk about movies, let's talk about romance and nature." Lu Chen's hands were particularly restless.

Faced with those magical hands, Liu Yan had no ability to resist. "Director Lu, wait a minute, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Is this a sign of physical discomfort?

When those large hands left, Liu Yan felt a sense of emptiness, but this was only temporary.

"You understand me best." Lu Chen saw Liu Yan tie up her hair and immediately lay down on the sofa.

Liu Yan blushed even more, but since Lu Chen liked this, she was determined to do it well. Besides, the premiere was a great success today, so she had to serve Director Lu well and make him even happier.

As for tomorrow.

Liu Yan thought so.

The opening day box office of "Shoplifters" will surely give everyone a big surprise.
