Extra Fourteen
Last year, "Cinema Paradise" also opened the film, but when I walked the red carpet, all the media's attention was focused on Al Pacino and Matt Daimeng, and basically few people would pay attention to Xu Hui.
After all, compared to the dazzling actors, the director is just behind the scenes.
But this time it is obviously different. With the halo of Oscar Best Director, the media and reporters obviously focused on Xu Hui.
Moreover, they believe that "Cinema Paradise" only affected the United States after it became popular in France...
This made the proud French people feel very happy.
Although Xu Hui never said this...
In the evening, the red carpet ceremony of the 67th Cannes International Film Festival officially kicked off.
Jane Campion, chairman of the jury, led the eight judges to appear on the red carpet first.
From her speech, you can tell what kind of director this is: "I'm very proud that female directors can occupy a fifth of the share in Cannes. To be honest, male directors shouldn't be too arrogant here."
Quite speechless.
In the eyes of some ‘feminists’, the so-called feminist right is to trample men under their feet…
Then why don’t you say that, what should you do if the standards of art judgment are done?
No wonder Alice Lovach, the original space-time, won the jury award...

Cannes has connections with film practitioners around the world. For example, the Chinese film department can lobby to allow their own films to participate in Cannes. The Cannes Film Festival is not only a place to show French films, but also excellent films from all over the world can show their style here.
Thousands of films are included in the consideration every year. The film Exploration Conference recommends films to the Cannes Committee, which will watch each film, judge its pros and cons, and determine whether it is eligible to enter a certain unit in Cannes. Watch, select films, and then screen again. If there is any objection to whether a film can participate in the exhibition, the decision will be handed over to the artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival Thierry Fremo, who will watch the film himself.
Of course, whether a movie can win an award is the biggest say in the jury.
Spike Lee's "What Should" was originally for Cannes. The judges liked the movie very much, but it did not win the award. Because Wim Wenders, the chairman of the jury, was unhappy with Spike...
For the film industry, there are three major film markets every year: Cannes in Cannes in May, the American film market in Santa Monica in November, and the Berlin film market in February. But the Berlin film market is usually a little deserted because the American film market is only a few months away from it. After experiencing the American film market, there are not many movies left for the Berlin film market. However, the rise of the Toronto Film Festival in recent years, its film trading market has even surpassed Berlin.
Huiwen has so many people this time, and in addition to participating in the film festival, more people want to sell movies.
They won’t buy movies in Cannes, either. We are not very interested in works from third world countries!
To be honest, our Chinese people's attention to Cannes is mainly focused on Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers. If there is no entry, I guess I don't care about the Lord of the Palme d'Or this year.
Therefore, most domestic reports are limited to the red carpet...
It's also good, promoting Chinese culture...
"The Cannes red carpet, which should have been sacred and noble, was forced to be taken away into a Chinese vegetable market. I have to ask, how did this trend be ruined? The Cannes Organizing Committee must also know that if this continues, Cannes will be no different from the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers in the hearts of the Chinese people."

The time was in Northeast China in the 1930s.
Qiao Duo, 27 years old, Northeast Silver, is a university gardener. He is enthusiastic, kind and studious. The reason why he comes to college to be a gardener is that he can get free classes for free.
He is full of the best expectations for life, and his greatest wish is to open a bookstore in the city.
Aili, the illegitimate daughter of a Japanese prince, is 18 years old and an international student.
She fell in love with Jodo and often made excuses to run to the place where the gardener rested...
Faced with the sudden love, Qiao Duo resisted at first. After all, his identity is a second-class citizen, but Aili is a noble Japanese, not to mention that Aili has a fiancé in Japan.
Of course, the power of love is great. When the movie goes through forty minutes, Jodo and Alice walk together.
After marriage, good things came one after another. Qiao Duo's dream bookstore opened, and they had a well-behaved and cute son, Josie.
But the war came as scheduled, and Japan strengthened its control over Northeast China.
Originally, Aili thought that with her own identity, she could ensure a harmonious family.
She thought too much. When Josie was five years old, Lieutenant Panasonic led a team to take Jodo and Josie away on the grounds of forcing the recruitment of civilians, and imprisoned him and the two of them in Laboratory 731.
When Ali returned home from Japan, the building was empty and the house was chaotic. Ali understood what was happening in front of her. Although she was Japanese, she insisted on going to Laboratory 731 with Qiao Duo and her son, and Ali was locked in a female prison.
Qiao Du was unwilling to let his son's young heart be cast in a miserable shadow from then on. In the inhumane laboratory 731, Qiao Du tried every means to find opportunities to contact his wife in the prison and report her safety to Aili. While protecting and taking care of the young Josie, he deceived his son. This was playing a game, and the victorious person would win a gold medal!
The innocent and curious son believed Qiao Duo's words, how much he wanted a gold medal.
Josie endured hunger, fear, loneliness and all the harsh environments.
Jodo used the game to prevent his son's childlike innocence from being hurt at all.
While doing dirty and hard work optimistically, he made up lies about the game. He also survived the help of the Mitsui corpse who was guarding them.
When liberation came, the Japanese were about to escape late at night. Of course, before escaping, they wanted to kill all the Chinese in the laboratory!
Qiao Du hid his son in an iron cabinet and told Qiao Xi not to come out, otherwise he would not get the gold medal. He planned to take advantage of the chaos to go to the women's prison to find his wife Aili, but unfortunately he was discovered by Japanese soldiers. When Mitsui had another Japanese escorted Qiao Du through Qiao Xi's iron cabinet, he walked with great optimism and strode, hinting that his son would not come out. But soon, he heard a gunshot. Qiao Du, who had experienced hardships, died tragically at the gun of the Japanese.
