The real Manshen is far from as radiant as seen in the video. He is very thin and shriveled, with many fine lines on his face, especially the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
"Hey, is this your idol?" Zhou Xun pushed him and asked softly.
"no."
"No, you're still staring at me?"
"She is a movie queen! Aren't you curious? Oh, I forgot that you seem to be a movie queen too."
Of course, the result of provoking Brother Xun was a sharp pain on He Xin's arm and a severe pinch from the girl.
In the end, that guy Chen Kun looked gloating and said, "Xiao Xun, what A Xin wants is for you to praise him as the Best Actor!"
Chen Guofu's speech was very brief, basically just a welcome to everyone. There was no interview session, and the movie began to be screened soon after.
"Two Eyes" tells the story of a stubborn Bay Area police detective played by Tony Leung Ka-fai, who joins forces with an American FBI expert to hunt down the real culprit behind a bizarre serial murder case.
Milk Tea plays the wife of the Wanwan police detective in the film.
He Xin watched this movie mainly because of Liang Jiahui, the double winner of Golden Horse and Golden Statue. Brother Jiahui did not disappoint him, and his performance in the film was still as solid as an old dog. But what surprised him was the milk tea in the film
The performance gave him a refreshing feeling.
To be honest, although Milk Tea has been crowned Asia-Pacific Best Actress before, her performance in the role of a marriage madman on the set of "The Girl" was quite mediocre. Moreover, Milk Tea was previously known as a singer.
His identity became popular.
How should I put it? Subconsciously, he has always believed that professional people should do professional things. He is very disdainful of any crossover that is popular at the moment, such as film, television, singing, etc. There is no problem with film and television crossover, they are all performances, they are just broadcasts.
The platform is just different, but singing and acting, and acting and singing, can you do this?
In short, he is not very optimistic about it.
Just like in later generations, many actors have crossed over to become directors. Of course, there are many successful examples, and some have even set domestic box office records. But looking back now, thinking about it, those action movies and comedies have a relatively low threshold after all.
It is almost impossible to reach the level of the National Master. If you let them make some movies with a little depth and style, I am afraid that they will not even be as good as Kai Ye, Feng Xiaogang and the like.
If you insist on saying that there is, then in so many years, I am afraid that an outlier like Jiang Wen has appeared.
Although He Xin thought it was a bad movie when he first saw the movie poster, when he actually watched it, it turned out to be surprisingly good.
And when he looked at it, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
Especially when I saw the Taoist symbols in the film, as well as the yin and yang and the five elements that correspond to the motive of killing, cultivating immortals to kill people, and the Taoist temple in the hospital, etc., wasn't this the "Tang Detective 2" I watched in my previous life?
It was a Lunar New Year blockbuster with a box office of over 3 billion, which in one fell swoop whitewashed a certain director who was a scumbag and greasy man, and won him the title of talented director.
Of course, it cannot be said to be a complete copy, it can only be said to be a reference, but the eye-catching elements in the movie are almost exactly the same, just like Chen Guofu's previous "Marriage Notice" and Feng Xiaogang's later "Intrusion".
A routine.
Thinking of this, He Xin felt a little sad!
"Two Eyes" premiered. Although it was very popular, the response afterwards was very average. The audience who came at first probably came because it was a horror film, but the Taoist elements in it were very unfamiliar to foreigners.
.
Just like "Seven Deadly Sins", in the eyes of foreigners, this is a very good movie because it is full of Christian elements that they are familiar with. But for domestic audiences, how many people can say that this movie is good to watch?
On the 23rd, Chief Jia’s "Ren Xiaoyao" premiered.
As the only film from this country to be shortlisted for the main competition, He Xin naturally went to support it. It was a pity that Zhou Xun and Chen Kun could not go together because their agent arranged other activities.
It’s understandable if you think about it. After all, Chief Jia is still a shady person, and the domestic media cannot report too much. However, the organizer gave enough courtesy to Chief Jia, who had just arrived in Cannes, and not only included the world premiere of "Ren Xiaoyao"
It was arranged at the Lumière Palace, the main venue of the competition, and fifteen special cars were even dispatched to pick up production staff from China, France, Japan and South Korea.
The Lumière Palace, which can accommodate more than 2,000 spectators, was full that day. After the screening, the audience stood up and applauded for five minutes, which made Chief Giacomo burst into tears.
He Xin, who was standing in the crowd and applauding together, really couldn't understand the magical brain circuits of these foreigners. In his eyes, this movie was still long, boring, and maddeningly long-shot, and full of Chief Jia's distinctive personal style. Their excitement
Where exactly is the point?
Especially at the end of the film, Wang Hongwei, who has nothing to do with the plot, suddenly appears. There is no dialogue, no plot, and a three-and-a-half-minute shot of just spinning and playing billiards. The whole picture is dark, rough, and very confusing.
mind.
It wasn't until he walked out of the theater that He Xin suddenly realized that the reason why Chief Jia arranged this episode was probably to bring an end to his Hometown trilogy.
After wandering around for two more days, we finally arrived at the closing ceremony of the 55th Cannes International Film Festival. There were more than half the guests on the red carpet at the closing ceremony than at the opening ceremony, including the Hollywood superstars who had previously attracted crowds of people to promote the new movie "Gangs of New York"
Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, many film crews with no hope of winning awards, and the so-called Chinese Legion who came to promote domestic films and select foreign films that the people of this country like to see have all gone home early at this time.
The closing ceremony was uneventful. The Palme d'Or was undoubtedly awarded to the anti-war film "The Pianist" directed by Roman Polanski; the Best Director was awarded to Im Kwon-taek, the director of the Korean film "The Pianist".
and Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of the American film "Love"; the Best Actress was won by Finnish actress Kauris Marki in "The Man Without a Past"; and the Best Actor winner was unexpectedly awarded to a Belgian film
Olivier Goulme, the leading actor in "Sons", and Adrien Brody, the leading actor in "The Pianist" who had been the most popular before, lost the trophy.
He Xin witnessed with his own eyes the disappointed look on Annie's face when she heard the presenter on stage announcing the Best Actor selection. Perhaps no one would have thought at this time that ten months later, with her outstanding performance in "The Pianist", Annie would win the award.
Won an Oscar for Best Actor.
"The Little Tailor", "Ren Xiaoyao" by Chief Jia, and "The Devil's Lover" by Man Shen Husband were all not collected.
Compared with the disappointment of the two embarrassing girls, Dai Sijie seemed very calm. He was very satisfied to be able to enter the main competition section of this film festival. Moreover, the sales of the film were also good, and the investment was recovered early.
There are considerable profits.
After the closing ceremony, a small cocktail party was held in the hotel. It was prepared early in the morning. I originally thought that if I won the award, it would be a celebration party, but before the pellets were collected, it naturally became a cocktail party.
Zhou Xun liked this kind of place and atmosphere the most. He laughed and cheered as usual and asked for a toast, and even forced He Xin to dance the rumba together. Chen Kun was the only one sitting in the corner, looking a little depressed.
He Xin wanted to go over and ask for comfort.
But Zhou Xun pulled him back and said, "Ignore him, that's just the way he is. He'll be fine in two days."
What do you think of Chen Kun?
He Xin has a pretty good relationship with him and knows a little bit about him as a person. He must be a good person, enthusiastic and willing to help others. But he is often very thoughtful, delicate and sensitive, and he protects his privacy very closely.
.
For example, he just gave birth to a son not long ago. He often looks at the photos on his mobile phone and has a lot of fun. Moreover, he is not evasive and admits frankly that this is his son. But he has never said a word about the subject of who is his son's mother.
Don't mention it.
He Xin judged that Zhou Xun should know, and his manager Li Xiaowan might also know. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to inquire about other people's privacy in private. However, this made him admire Chen Kun's courage and at the same time envy him.
He also wants to have a child, but unfortunately no one is willing to help him have one now!
Chen Kun has been hailed as a "melancholy boy" by the outside world since his debut. On the one hand, it's because of the role he plays, and on the other hand, it must be that he has this thing in his character.
Just like now, although "The Little Seamstress" did not win the award, everyone is still very happy, but he is very concerned about it. He is unhappy alone and has a heavy heart for gains and losses.
Because of the time difference, He Xin didn't call his girlfriend immediately after the closing ceremony of the film festival. He didn't call his girlfriend until the reception was over, almost one o'clock in the morning. He figured his girlfriend would be up by now, so he made a call.
Regarding the fact that he didn't win the award, he took it very lightly. With so many shortlisted films, who can guarantee that he will definitely win the award?
When he was in Berlin, and even later when he won the Golden Horse Award, he felt like a pie in the world. Everything should be fair, and good things should not always fall on you.
But just like the last time he left the Academy Awards empty-handed, his girlfriend comforted him on the phone for a long time, which made his originally peaceful mentality become a little worrying about gains and losses.
If they didn't win the prize, there was no need to stay any longer. They set out on their way home the next afternoon.
