The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1283: Cannes

The train car was shaking gently, golden sunlight pierced the windows and spilled on the desktop. The temperature in May has gradually begun to become sultry, and the sound of hula hula air-conditioning sounded slowly in my ears, warm and lazy, I don’t know. Without noticing it, he nodded and fell asleep. Finally, he simply leaned his head against the edge of the window, pressed the baseball cap above his head slightly, and fell asleep in a dazed manner.

"Wow".

A whirring sound of exclamation stirred in the carriage, and Lan Li woke up from his sleep, pulled up the brim of the baseball cap again, rubbed his wistful eyes, sat upright, and looked back and forth. , And then you can see that all the heads of most of the carriages are gathered in the window on the right.

Turning his head, penetrating the clear and translucent gold, caught off guard, the blue that was so pure that there was no impurity slammed into the depths of his eyes.

The sky is full of blue spread out endlessly, as if it can capture the trajectory of the dolphins under the water pattern, but after the blink of an eye, the mint blue deepens bit by bit, turning into peacock blue, navy blue, Dark blue, all the waves and trajectories have disappeared in the endless blue, and even the golden halo over the water is dyed with a light sky blue.

The sea level and the skyline just disappeared, and the whole world turned blue.

Lan Li knew that the Côte d'Azur had arrived.

The winding and rugged coastline outlines the blue magnificence and magnificence, which is intoxicating, heartbreaking, and even more exciting. Only by embracing this piece of blue can you truly understand that a color can be so intoxicating, that a color can be so colorful, and that a color can be so pure and simple.

This is not the first time Lanly has visited the Côte d'Azur, but every time he can't help but sigh.

The miracles of nature always make language pale and humans become insignificant.

Just nestling beside the window, quietly admiring the blue, all the complexity and cumbersomeness have all disappeared, I can’t help but slowly indulge in it, everything becomes pure, the whole brain, the whole world, and the whole universe. The rest of the blue, calm blue, no joy, no sorrow, no troubles, no hatred, just endless blue, the mood calmed down.

Entering the boundaries of the French Riviera, this also means that Cannes is in sight.

The sixty-sixth Cannes Film Festival will officially kick off tomorrow. Reporters and fans from all over the world have all gathered in the small city of Cannes on the Cote d’Azur.

When people mention the three major European film festivals, Berlin is the most political, Venice has the longest history, and Cannes has the best reputation. Undoubtedly, the Cannes Film Festival is now Europe's largest film trading market, the most audience-watching prosperous world, the most influential comprehensive film festival, and the most popular film screening venue.

Every year, more than 400,000 spectators flood into this small town just for this annual movie prosperous world.

But in fact, Cannes is a small town with only less than 70,000 people. Here, there is no high industry, no lively tourism, and no graceful natural scenery. The whole world knows that Cannes has three "s", sun, sea and sexy, but people who have actually arrived in Cannes know that those are just hype gimmicks.

When it comes to the sun, the yacht in Monaco is the most comfortable place for sunbathing; when it comes to the sea, Eze is the best viewing point to appreciate the blue of the Mediterranean; when it comes to sexy, the celestial beach not far from Nice is the favorite of Europeans.

In other words, the Cote d’Azur as a top resort has countless towns and beaches that are more suitable for enjoyment, relaxation, and vacation than Cannes.

As for Cannes?

This is just an ordinary town with rough beaches, hot sun, and inaccessible people. If it weren't for the Cannes Film Festival, no one would visit here all year round; but the fact is that because of the Cannes Film Festival, the town has become a blue A jewel on the coast comparable to Nice.

In 1946, the first Cannes Film Festival officially entered the stage of history. Then, a brand new member was added to the world's top holiday resorts: Cannes; of course, more importantly, an important member was added again to the world's top film festivals.

The tall verdant palm trees outline the magnificence and cosiness of the straight coastal road. Five-star hotels, luxury brand flagship stores and luxury casinos are lined up on the side of the road, showing the drunken fans of Vanity Fair; and private bars, private beaches, and private beaches. Yachts and private clubs occupies a lot of sandy beaches and become top party venues for spending money.

The white buildings, the blue sea, the green bushes... The seemingly mediocre Cannes has become sophisticated and elegant.

When people mention the Cannes Film Festival, pioneering and innovative, and keeping pace with the times are undoubtedly the most important labels. After experiencing the turbulence and exploration in the early days of its establishment, and after the interruption and rise of the "May Storm", they quickly found the correct The status of China has gradually gained a firm foothold in the international arena.

Among the three major European film festivals, Cannes is the most international film festival. Above the number of Palme d’Or awards, the United States leads the way with 18 times, followed by Italy with 12 times as the host. France has only nine times. In addition, the United Kingdom eight times, Denmark and Japan each four times.

Cannes is the most friendly film festival to Asian films. Films from China, Japan, South Korea, Iran and other regions are all popular here. Among them, during the twelve years from 1988 to 1999, Chinese-language films have been an indispensable part of Cannes, and they have repeatedly shined here.

Cannes is also the most commercialized film festival. It opens its doors and embraces Hollywood commercial films. It fully demonstrates the simplicity and approachability of films. This also makes Cannes the world's largest film trading market and Toronto can only be regarded as a rising star.

In short, Cannes has taken courageous steps, breaking the boundaries between art and commerce, breaking the boundaries between countries and regions, and also breaking the boundaries between award selection and marketing, from film selection to judges, from From the media to the propaganda, we are at the forefront of the times in all aspects and keep up with the pace of globalization.

So Cannes has attracted countless controversies, especially the fierce criticism and criticism from European traditional art creators, including the rejection and contempt of local French filmmakers, and the commercial attributes are concealing the essence of art; but no one can deny the success of Cannes and its formation. In a virtuous circle, countless excellent works are eager to be on the Cannes stage.

At the registration stage every year, Cannes's application works are ahead of Berlin and Venice in terms of quantity and quality.

Now, Berlin has begun to set up a foundation to support German films, and the awards are mainly political and artistic; Venice has always been subject to local constraints. It is hoped that Italian films will be more recognized, which will affect the international influence of the film festival. . Among the three major European film festivals, they are gradually falling behind Cannes.

People are criticizing the Cannes Film Festival. For example, this year’s opening film chose the "Great Gatsby" of the United States. Everyone knows that this is another compromise between Cannes and Hollywood, Leonardo DiCapri. Ao’s presence has ensured the brilliance of the star lineup, but obviously, they did not consider the quality of the film or even the artistic level.

However, people are also looking forward to the Cannes Film Festival, because the list of entries is strong. After the final list of the main competition was released, it attracted a lot of heated discussions. Among the 20 entries, it is worth discussing, worthy of attention, and worthy of excitement. The work already occupies half of the country, and the remaining half is often able to unearth surprises.

No one can refuse Cannes.

But what is interesting is that Cannes is the only one among the three major film festivals that is not fully open to the public.

What does that mean?

When the audience participates in the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival or Toronto Film Festival, they are the main body of the film festival. They rush back and forth in various venues every day, struggling to arrange their own movie screenings, lest they miss a certain one. The latest work of a master or an actor. Watching a movie is a painful torture, but it is also a happy torment.

But the Cannes Film Festival has only one cinema palace as the main screening venue. The main audience is the media and the market ~lightnovelpub.net~, while ordinary audiences can only grab very, very few tickets.

The Cinema Palace was officially put into use in 1949. This is an ancient building with six floors and 25 theaters of different sizes, but these theaters are very, very small, and the smallest can only accommodate 20 people. Thirty people, the largest Lumiere Hall is the only exception, which can accommodate about two thousand people, and the overall spatial pattern is very limited.

Part of the theater is reserved for the movie market. Simply put, it is the marketing staff, copyright purchasers and propaganda staff of major film companies. Each film will be shown multiple times and left for the market staff to watch, and the decision will be made whether to purchase the copyright.

Part of the screening hall, as a media field, only allows reporters to enter. Sometimes, the media field is screened internally, or even earlier, so that reporters can watch the film as soon as possible, and write film reviews, which lays the foundation for subsequent interviews and publicity, and also leaves time for journalists to write articles. .

A part of the screening hall is used as a screening area, that is, the red carpet performances. Those who enter the theater are mainly invited guests, sponsors, jury judges, professional film critics, media reporters, and so on. Among them, the Lumiere Hall, dedicated to the main competition films, is also the only viewing hall that allows audiences to enter the venue.

In other words, there is only a two-thousand-person hall that can accommodate audiences, and there are only two shows a day, up to three shows, which cannot be fully open to the public for ticket sales; but this is the Cannes Film Festival, which has been able to attract every year. Four hundred thousand spectators swarmed in.

This is Cannes.
