"Joel, may I ask, how is the light used for photography this time? As the story progresses, the light seems to change, but it doesn't seem to change. Does this have any impact on the shaping of the story?"
"Ethan, can you discuss the live performance of this movie? We all know that most of the songs are sung live, so how did you capture the actors' singing emotions?"
"Justin, in the creation of the original soundtrack this time, you participated in the production. Can you talk about the feeling of cooperation? Personally, I am most curious about how the adaptation of the song 'Five Hundred Miles' was completed. What kind of inspiration did you get?"
"It is rumored that the crew is planning to hold a concert and perform the soundtrack of the movie. Is this true?"
"Ethan or Joel, can any of you answer the question about sound editing and sound effects? In previous works, you were very good at using such detail changes to create atmosphere, but this time, because of the mixed effect There's a lot of live performance, and you seem to be trying hard to avoid the sound effects taking away from the story, is that so?"
"Renly, you worked with Alfonso Cuaron not long ago, and then with the Coen brothers, can you talk about the difference between the two collaborations?"
"Also, also, why did 'Drunk Town Ballad' choose the ring structure? Are the plots at the beginning and end exactly the same? Or is it a flashback? What is the reason for choosing such a technique? Also, that's just called Yuli What's the significance of the Sith's big yellow cat? Renly, how do you think that affects your performance?"
…
In the hustle and bustle, the whole press conference craze could not stop at all. The press conference that was originally scheduled to end in 30 minutes was dragged on and off for 45 minutes, and the reporters were still reluctant to end it. Visit, but... The organizers forced the conference to end after all.
After watching the "Drunk Town Folk Ballad" crew leave the press conference hall one after another, the media reporters still stayed where they were and did not leave in a hurry.
Although they know that every second counts, and they must rush to the next itinerary now; but at this moment, they still hope to stay and exchange opinions with their colleagues, about "Drunken Town Folk Song", about the press conference, and about this time. Overall impression of the Cannes Film Festival.
In the surging crowd, Emily and Mark also met a group of like-minded friends who danced and shared their thoughts and opinions.
"Zizi", there was a vibration in Emily's pocket, she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and glanced at it quickly. It was an email reminder. After she opened it, Emily's pupils still opened sharply. Big, showing incredible ecstasy, and the aura around the whole person began to become excited.
"God!"
Emily couldn't hold back after all, and exclaimed, "I've made an appointment for Renly's roundtable interview!"
"What?" "My God!" "Envy!" "True or false!" "Emily, hurry up, I'll send you my list of questions right away, and you remember to ask Renly for me in person!" "And also, remember to take pictures! What does it feel like to interview Renly up close, God, I'm already getting excited!"
"Wait, I also made an appointment for a roundtable interview!" After a while, Mark also checked his email, got the latest news, and jumped up in place, enthusiastically celebrating the arrival of the happy event.
Above international film festivals, there are countless interview media, especially in a prosperous world like the three major European film festivals. Even small film crews with no name are hot interview objects. As long as they can enter the main competition unit, this means that official interviews will be It keeps coming.
"Treading the Stars"
Like the Cannes Film Festival, there are more than 4,000 members of the media. Even if only one-tenth of the media can get an interview opportunity, that is 400 interviews. Most of the crews stay in Cannes for about three to four days. It also means that they need to complete an average of fifty to one hundred interviews per day, which is an impossible task.
Therefore, the film festival made corresponding adjustments to the interview plan in response to this situation.
One is a round-table interview, just like a round-table meeting, with at least three and at most ten participants surrounding the round table to conduct individual interviews with actors or directors. The entire interview process lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. Potentially increase the speed and pace of the interview.
One is small talk interviews, in the fragmented time between film festival viewings, or when attending a party, to complete short random interviews, but this way of interviewing is entirely a matter of luck, and some people may be during the entire film festival. There is no opportunity to find it, but some people may gain a lot.
There is also a separate interview, as the name suggests, this is a one-on-one interview. But only a few top media can get such interview opportunities, and the treatment and specifications are completely different.
Emily and Mark just made an appointment for a roundtable interview.
Although they also hope to be able to make an appointment for an interview, it is too difficult for the self-media, even a round-table interview is extremely rare, and countless other media cannot reserve any interview opportunities at all, and can only watch on the sidelines; But also optimistic self-comfort, to be able to attend the film festival is already the best gift.
"Haha, haha." After all, Mark couldn't hold back, he laughed cheerfully, and after feeling everyone's attention, he quickly explained, "Young master is really interesting. In the email, the interview time was specially scheduled for three in the afternoon. Thirty-thirty, because—he needs to go see a long-awaited work, an 'Omar' that focuses on the unit. That's the exact words in the email!"
"Pfft", everyone couldn't help laughing, such a straightforward expression is really cute. Also, it's even cuter to give up interviews in order to watch the movie.
Emily also giggled, "That's right, and it's marked in the email: If time is tight and you can't participate in the interview, it is recommended to interview Joel and Ethan an hour in advance; in addition, you can also ask Kerry Make an appointment with Justin. 'I'm sure all movie lovers will understand, by the way, did anyone watch the Omar movie?'"
"Haha", the group laughed, clapped and laughed, the laughter could not stop.
"Is this an email written by Renly himself?" Someone nearby showed a look of disbelief.
Mark shook his head again and again, "No, no, this is an email written by Roy, the manager of the young master. However, quotation marks are used in a few places, which is obviously the original words of the young master." While talking, Mark smiled. His mood finally brightened up, "Roy is also a very humorous guy. I can already imagine Roy's expression when he complains about the young master."
"Looking at this email, I have a real sense now that Renly is really a young man, and he is also a young man who loves movies immensely."
With your words, everyone started talking and sharing the Renly they knew.
Meanwhile, Emily and Mark exchange a glance. Finally, Emily asked, "How is it? What are you going to do?"
"Well... I still want to see 'Omar'. The young master is always full of curiosity about the film festival. The films he likes are bound to have merits. Although a kind of attention is not as good as the main competition, I feel that if We watched the movie ahead of time, and the interviews that follow are bound to be very interesting, whether they are on the same stage or not." Mark said his thoughts seriously.
"If it's the same venue, then it's even better. Maybe we can communicate on the spot." Emily also added, without any hesitation, she nodded in agreement, "Then, let's rush over now. Well, otherwise the schedule may be too late."
The schedule of screenings of a kind of concern is relatively dense, and the overall attention is still not too obvious.
More importantly, the roundtable interview at 3:30, if you are not careful, you may miss the premiere of the new film in the main competition unit tonight. But... This is Cannes, non-stop, without feet on the ground, if necessary, can't stop all night, 24 hours a day.
So, Emily and Mark must hurry up too.
Without staying in the press center for too long, the two of them waved goodbye to their companions, and then braved the pouring rain and sprinted toward the screening hall with a kind of attention.
There was another queuing - during this period, I also encountered the paparazzi who came to secretly take pictures. When Renly appeared, the scene was chaotic. After all, Cannes was still different from Berlin. The focus is on the stars.
Another viewing - "Omar" is the fourth feature film by Israeli director Hany-Abu-Assad, who won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Heaven Now" in 2005 Nominated and shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival.
Another run - after watching the movie, the time was a little later than expected, and they had to start running all the way to avoid missing the next roundtable interview. The whole trip was extremely hasty, like a rapid march.
Sadly, this time they were not able to get up close and personal with Renly.
Because from the beginning to the end of watching the movie, Renly was always surrounded, and in the small movie-viewing hall that could only accommodate less than 80 people, he was completely trapped in the embarrassing situation of the crowd and the water, don't say Renly, even the on-site staff didn't expect it at all.
In order to avoid missing the next major event, Emily and Mark had to abandon the wonderful idea of walking with Renly, leave the Film Palace early, and run quickly in the direction of the majestic Barrière Hotel in Cannes.
The only thing worth fortunate is that the heavy rain finally stopped, the sky is slowly clearing up, and finally there is no need to rain any more.
