At first, Jia Zhangke and the other three thought they heard it wrong. When the title of "Good Will Hunting" appeared on the screen, they were convinced that it was true.
None of the three people spoke, and there was no look of frustration on their faces.
Wu Yushen, on the other hand, joked: "Old Jia, you have to have a good eye for people. Young people's movies are highly entertaining and attractive."
"But, he probably won't be able to win the subsequent awards. The so-called wind vane is not so easy to win."
"The closer the film is to the opening, the more stringent the review will be."
Even though he said this, Wang Jiawei knew that Wu Yu was deeply unwilling.
Reluctantly, the first Cannes opening film with all Chinese actors was taken away by a young man.
"Red Cliff" is Wu Yushen's first major work after returning to China, and he himself can be said to have high hopes for it.
The richer his resume in "Red Cliff" is, the more it proves that Wu Yushen is still a great director after leaving Hollywood.
Wang Jia was not that competitive, but he became curious about "Good Will Hunting" and the young man Tang Ze.
How far can he go?
Jia Zhangke remained silent.
If it comes from the bottom of his heart, he likes Karasawa very much. "Good Will Hunting" became the opening film, and he is also happy for Karasawa.
However, some of Tangze's behaviors and attitudes made him very disgusted.
For example, now, Sean Penn has finished introducing the outline of "Good Will Hunting" and has begun to introduce information about Karasawa, including his age, etc.
As a result, Karasawa hasn’t shown up yet.
In his opinion, Karasawa didn't take the Cannes Film Festival to heart at all.
For this reason, he never wanted Tang Ze to win the award.
Young people should suffer some setbacks before they can learn awe and respect.
Jie Lun was very excited next week: "Look, the opening film is indeed "Good Will Hunting."
"Tangze is really awesome!"
Chen Kuhuan and Zhang Hanyu were no longer reserved and were very happy.
Their acting skills have been recognized in China, especially Chen Xiuhuan, who is not extremely eager to win awards.
But who wouldn’t be happy if he could win a few international awards?
The opening films have all won, so you can also look forward to individual awards.
With the expectation of a grand prize, Chen Jihuan has more subjective initiative.
He warned Zhou Jielun: "Director Tang probably won't be able to come back in a while."
"When I talk about my thoughts later, you can go up and say it for Director Tang."
"Ah? Me? Can I do it? My English is not very good." Zhou Jielun was a little confused.
Zhang Hanyu interjected: "Then you think our English must be better than yours?"
"And if it doesn't work, it has to work. We can't wait until Director Tang's name is called and no one will show up, right?"
"It's okay for the audience to say that they just come to watch the movie and they shouldn't care."
"But those members of the jury should have some opinions. You and Director Tang are both young people, so you can be a little more tolerant."
Zhou Jielun nodded and began to think about how to speak so as not to offend others.
At this time, Sean Pandall:
"You must be very curious about Director Karasawa, right?"
"Then, let's invite him to come on stage to express his thoughts."
"Please invite Director Tang!"
The venue immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Jielun who stood up and gave him a kind smile.
To be honest, Zhou Jielun has won awards in the past and is a professional speaker.
Today is the first time he is so nervous, comparable to when he first debuted.
The person coming is not Tang Ze. The audience doesn’t know. Could Chairman Sean Penn know?
During the film review, the first-hand information of the director and actors was also placed on their desks.
When he saw that there was an empty seat in the area where Zhou Jielun and the others were, his face didn't look good.
The official director is not here at this important moment?
Karasawa had better show up soon, otherwise he will regard Karasawa as a member of the Cannes International Film Festival who disrespects the Cannes International Film Festival and destroys the dignity of the Cannes Film Festival.
However, he did not stop the program, and watched Zhou Jielun walk up to the stage with an expressionless face and began to speak.
"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. I am not Director Karasawa. He is not here today because of something."
"I'm just speaking on behalf of Director Tang."
Zhou Jielun's English was poor, but people could still understand him, and the venue immediately became uproar.
Zhou Jielun was prepared to face criticism from the crowd.
However, what confused Zhou Jielun was that the loudest sound he heard turned out to be:
"So cool! Personalized! Handsome!"
"I've heard of this brother!"
It turns out that most of the people who come to the Cannes International Film Festival to watch movies are young people after all.
Although it is a general rule that only those with media credentials can enter.
However, some fans of celebrities will also be allowed to put in.
Moreover, media certificates are easy to obtain for those who have some assets at home.
There is no money required to watch movies at the Cannes International Film Festival, but after a day's consumption, the rent for one night may cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soft money.
Such exaggerated prices are all for the half month of the film festival.
If you want to be on the red carpet, it’s even more exaggerated. It’s possible to spend hundreds of thousands to millions.
Sometimes there are so many people that the price will be clearly marked on the red carpet.
There will never be a shortage of people seeking fame in the world, nor will there be a shortage of people willing to spend money.
Although these international film festivals present themselves as public welfare undertakings, in fact they have already made money through various traffic.
And young people, all kinds of second and third generations, come to this seemingly high-class place for no other reason than to look good and show that they are upper-class people.
Karasawa's speech at the opening of the movie is actually no different from his speech for winning an award.
But Karasawa is not around at this moment of honor.
What is this called?
This is called not seeking fame and wealth!
In addition to Sean Penn's previous introduction to Tang Ze, he has made three movies at the age of 21, which is an out-and-out genius.
Whether in the West or the East, there has always been a high tolerance for genius.
More importantly, people who like to play IMDB are familiar with Karasawa's "This Man is from Earth".
At that time, someone exclaimed.
In short, Tang Ze has gained the favor of many people.
This time he was unexpectedly unable to come, which not only did not make the audience's favorability decrease, but actually increased it.
The result is that the more Tang Ze is absent and the later he comes, the more they look forward to the moment when Tang Ze appears.
Meet this cool director’s attitude.
That must be very handsome, right?
Sean Penn was very depressed about the reaction of these audiences.
But there is nothing we can do. These people are all film festival tycoons, so we have to let them do it.
In the audience, seeing the chairman's angry and helpless expression, one of the jury members, Natalie Portman, covered her mouth and smiled:
"This young director Tang is really interesting. His legend has already been left in Cannes before he even arrives."
Natalie's mother and agent Shirley Stevens said: "Why, our little Natalie's heart is moved?"
Natalie licked her lips and showed a sexy expression: "A bit, I have seen his photos, he has a handsome oriental face."
"Even from a Western aesthetic perspective, he is a handsome man."
"Even though we are too young, he and I can only be siblings."
Shirley said: "Young? It's better to be young. Only when you are young are you energetic. You are not young anymore. It's time to think about marriage and children."
"Mommy..." Natalie herself is not a very pure person, but it feels weird to think so much without seeing anyone.
Shirley stopped teasing and said with a smile: "Of course, the most important thing is that I heard that your favorite director Luc Besson has also worked with him."
"Many directors and the media have given him good reviews, saying that he will succeed Zhang Yimou and become the most important director in China."
"With such a potential stock, maybe we can find an opportunity to cooperate with him and form a relationship."
Natalie nodded: "It's just that I haven't seen him cooperate with anyone other than Chinese. I don't know if he is willing to cooperate."
"I happen to have a movie, and I really hope he can film it."
