Wednesday, May 27th.

As a seaside city in France, Cannes is always full of beaches, beautiful women and romance in this early summer season.

With Zhang Guorong's handsomeness, his night life during this period of time was very colorful, and he changed to a girl brought back from the beach almost every two or three days.

This made Zhou Yanfa, who was already adoptive, a little envious.

It's just that although Zhang Guorong wants to pick up girls from time to time, he cares no less about the "Prison Storm" starring himself and others than Zhou Yanfa, second only to Lin Lingdong.

After Lin Lingdong came to Cannes, it was basically a two-point and one-line life.

After breakfast early in the morning, I went from the hotel to the venue, to my own movie venue, and then guarded until the end of the movie play, and then returned to the hotel to rest.

Then the next day it repeats yesterday's life.

As one of the films in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival this year, and because Disney and United Arts Films have acquaintances here, "Prison" is a film that occupies a small screening hall and can accommodate about 100 people.

Yin Jun is a person who is willing to spend money, and after Lin Lingdong and they went to Cannes, there are all kinds of small advertisements and posters printed here.

Anyway, there are a lot of Chinese here, one person takes some money, and by the way, Zhang Guorong or Zhou Yanfa took pictures and signed autographs with them, and they are satisfied to help send small advertisements there all day long, and their seriousness and dedication are completely incomparable to professionals.

With such a publicity, plus people take a look, yo, the recommended movie of the main competition unit, let's go, let's go and see it!

The Cannes Film Festival is ticket-free, and in the past, it was usually attended by professionals.

But after holding it for decades, they suddenly found that this can't be done, there are only so many professionals, and they can't fill up a few screening halls, and there are only a few or a dozen in this screening hall, what is that like?

So later, the Cannes Film Festival had two ways.

One is to screen the classic films that have won awards at the Beach Film Festival, and you can all watch them casually, and you can sit down and watch them whenever you come.

The other is still in the venue, and they will invite ordinary people who come to Cannes to see it, but you have to apply for an invitation letter in order to enter the venue.

Don't say it, just like that, the attraction of the Cannes Film Festival is getting bigger and bigger, and every year I don't know how many people think of coming to Cannes when they are on vacation in May, enjoying the beach, and then watching those literary films that can't be seen in the day.

Yes.

Don't watch so many people in commercial movies, but at least in Europe and the United States, there are still a lot of people who like to watch some in-depth literary films.

Even many people, because they are tired of watching commercial movies, are looking for some literary movies to watch, which can be regarded as cultivating their sentiments.

Among such people, there are many young couples, young people, who like to try anything.

This year's Cannes Film Festival also attracted a lot of tourists.

Every day, many people pour into the venue with invitations to watch the movies they want to see.

Under the hard work of Chinese propagandists, "Prison Storm" is naturally a relatively conspicuous movie.

In the eyes of ordinary people in Europe and the United States, the East is full of mystery.

Xiangjiang, known as the Pearl of the Orient, is said to have a prosperous economy, Victorian street construction, and a very developed entertainment industry...... All these things add up to a more fascinating performance of Hong Kong.

From the very beginning of the film festival, the small theater has been sold out several times in a row, and there are even many people queuing up to see it.

Such a high starting point makes Lin Lingdong excited and worried, if he waits until his curiosity dissipates and the audience becomes few left, it will be called embarrassing.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

The darkness, kindness, despair, brilliance, violence, ......and hope in the prison filmed by "Prison Storm" These are very organized and layered.

Whether it is Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guorong, Cheng Kuiyu and other actors, they all have a good understanding of the meaning that the movie wants to express, making the movie look flesh and blood, although it is sentimental, but after being sentimental, I feel relieved, and in the end, there is something deep worth thinking about.

The script given by Yin Jun, compared with the version of Lin Lingdong's previous life, focuses more on human nature, rather than Lin Lingdong's despair that is full of thick darkness and despair, and then explodes in despair.

The boy doesn't like tragedy very much, so he adds a trace of kindness to the malice of the whole world, and if you taste it carefully, you will feel it from the heart.

At the beginning, Lin Lingdong didn't agree with the goodwill element that Yin Jun added to this.

But Yin Jun is not only a screenwriter, but also a boss, Lin Lingdong must not be so stupid to fight him, he can only make compromises and shoot according to Yin Jun's script.

Now that he has come to Cannes, through screenings and chatting with film critics and fans again and again, Lin Lingdong suddenly found that what they care about most is a glimmer of hope in despair.

In order to better feel this, a few film critics even watched eight shows in three days.

At this time, Lin Lingdong felt the difference between himself and the world's top screenwriters.

Especially in the past few days, as soon as Yin Jun's "Great Split" advertisement that shocked the world came out, the name Yin Jun suddenly resounded throughout Cannes.

As a movie written by Yin Jun, "Prison Storm" has received great attention.

Lin Lingdong also saw that Mr. Anthony Xi, the executive director of this year's jury, came to see "Prison Storm" with a few friends, not to mention the judges of other organizing committees.

Several judges also watched it more than once.

They didn't come back after they were invited.

With this surprise, Zhang Guorong immediately asked Lin Lingdong if he was expected to win the award?

Lin Lingdong had a trace of expectation in his heart, but he still told Zhang Guorong that we have no way to know about this, we can only look at luck.

As a result, the organizing committee announced the list of nominees the next day.

"Prison" actually won 3 nominations in one go.

Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and the Palme d'Or almost include the award nominations that "Prison" should get, and it is absolutely unique among all the films participating in the official competition unit.

At this moment, Zhang Guorong became excited, and hurriedly pulled Zhou Yanfa to buy a dress, and decided to make a beautiful appearance tomorrow.

People who don't know still think that Zhang Guorong is the leading actor, but he didn't even get the nomination.

But Zhang Guorong's mentality is good, he is only in his twenties, and there will be opportunities in the future, not to mention that he has not yet invested in the movie, and he is concentrating on singing!

Then, under everyone's expectations, it was finally time for the 34th Cannes Film Festival to close today.

Wearing the suit in the box and coming to the venue, Lin Lingdong regretted it a little.

Because he is neither as handsome as Zhou Yanfa on the left, nor as handsome as Zhang Guorong on the right, and his clothes are not as trendy and expensive as theirs, sandwiched between the two handsome guys, he is the foil.

Thanks to the director, he doesn't have to be good-looking, so Lin Lingdong still walked the red carpet with them with a smile.

Sitting on the chairs arranged by the organizing committee, the three of them looked at the foreigners everywhere and suddenly became a little nervous.

Reporters from Kylin TV and Kylin Daily were also present, but they were not qualified to sit here, but in the media area.

Even after the award ceremony began, this nervous feeling not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

Hong Kong Films once won the Cannes award, but Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan's awards were not big enough, and they were not even nominated for Best Actor and the Palme d'Or.

Now that "Prison Storm" has won the three major nominations for the first time in history, it is false to say that there is no expectation, and it is even more false to say that there is no worry and apprehension.

"Hey, Brother Dong. Zhang Guorong stabbed Lin Lingdong, and his eyes and face were still towards the podium.

"What?" Lin Lingdong was also expressionless.

"As the saying goes, if you are hot, you will die, are we hopeless?" Zhang Guorong said.

"Don't talk nonsense here, I'm still waiting to get the award and go back to my sister Lian!" Zhou Yanfa immediately said with a smile on his face, of course, his smile was still towards the stage.

"I don't dare to talk about anything else, but Jun Shao's screenwriter award, I should be a little sure, right?" Lin Lingdong didn't have much to look forward to, but he also had hope.

"Fa Ge said that if you can't win the award, he will throw you into the dung pit when you go back and let you know that it is amazing. "Zhang Guorong betrayed his friend.

"I said Fa Zai, you are too bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, right? This script was written by Jun Shao, and I am the executor, why are you holding me and not letting go?" Lin Lingdong was speechless.

"You say that I bully the soft and fear the hard, I don't bully you, who do you bully?" I still remember ......"

"......Shh

Lin Lingdong's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped Zhou Yan, who was smiling, and said.

Zhang Guorong and Zhou Yanfa hurriedly looked at the stage together.

The gray-haired old artist first listened to the narrator introduce the four shortlisted scripts, then turned his head from the large TV screen, didn't say anything, opened the envelope with a smile, and read out a name.

"Mephisto, Patel. ”

A middle-aged man sitting not far away stood up.

He was full of Eastern European appearances, and he rushed to the stage excitedly, chattering for a while, but Lin Lingdong and the others did not understand it completely.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, it's enough to understand that this award has nothing to do with your crew.

"It's over! The most sure thing is gone. Zhang Guorong sighed while clapping his hands.

"I knew that they must have let us run with us! Sure enough, it was a big fever and we were going to die!" Zhou Yunfa also smiled helplessly.

"I don't think so, Cannes rarely plays such tricks, 3 nominations, none of them got, they don't have so many eyes. Lin Lingdong still kept a little sober.

……

(I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!Reunion and peace!)
