Chapter 34 "Paradise Cinema"
There are many filmmakers from all over the world standing in front of the Movie Palace, but the ones who are truly famous are the Hollywood people.
Originally, we have very low attention to movies in other countries!
Asha Fahati, director of Iran, if it weren't for "A Farewell" and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, many people wouldn't have known about this movie!
Xu Hui was not very interested in chatting with filmmakers from Romania and Türkiye. He was completely from two different worlds with them!
When they walked to the judges, Xu Hui shook hands with Spielberg first, and the two of them had a brief conversation.
"Director Xu."
Walking to Ang Lee, the latter looked at Xu Hui: "I heard that this is your first time trying a foreign language film?"
"Well, this is a completely Western-style story structure."
"I'm looking forward to it!"
"Thanks…"
Ang Lee seemed to have something to say, probably realized that this was not very suitable for communication, so he forced himself to go back.
Xu Hui actually knows it.
Director Ang Lee is the chairman of the jury of this year's Golden Horse Awards!
He must have wanted to resolve the conflict between Xu Hui and Jinma.
After all, Xu Hui's influence lies here. He publicly expressed his resistance to the Golden Horse Award, which will affect the credibility of the Golden Horse!
In front of the movie palace, Xu Hui also met many domestic filmmakers, some of whom were very familiar with them, such as Fan Xiaopang and Chen Kun.
Of course, it is not suitable for chatting here, so the few people just simply said hello.
Fan Xiaopang looked at Xu Hui with a bit dark and complicated look. She really didn't expect Xu Hui to be where he is today!
Al Pacino, Matt is cute!
Such a lineup is enough to make all Chinese actors curious!
If I had taken the initiative at the beginning, maybe...
...
At nine o'clock, the main hall of the movie palace, Lumiere's 2,000-person hall, "Cinema Paradise" will be screened soon.
As the opening video, there are naturally many people who pay attention to it.
In addition to the guests and media related personnel, there are also a large number of viewers.
Compared with the guests who were just routine greetings, the audience's response was enthusiastic. Many Xu Hui's movies are still very good in the hearts of ordinary European audiences!
Amid the applause, the main creators sat in the front crew position.
The movie is about to begin!
In the back row of the guest seat, Jia Zhangke was full of curiosity. He always wanted to watch this movie. In addition to the promotion of "Xu Hui's first foreign language film", he wanted to know how Xu Hui told a drama film!
The introduction of "The Cinema of Heaven" is very simple: it tells the story of a child growing up in the village of Giancardo, Sicily, Italy, about movies, about friendship...
You might as well say that the plot is kept confidential!
But Xu Hui once said in private that, "I want to prove through "Paradise Cinema" that he is not just a commercial director!"
This is very interesting. Not only Jia Zhangke is interested in "Paradise Cinema", but Lou Huohua, who was sitting next to him, was also staring at the big screen with anticipation.
Du Qifeng leaned on the back of the chair. He thought he knew movies very well and Xu Hui better. He could not believe all the publicity. The so-called literary and artistic movies must be just a packaging, and they are still the same thing in their bones!
Liu Dehua was a little embarrassed. He was the chairman of the jury at last year's Golden Horse Awards...
The lights in the ceiling went out one after another, and the screening room, which was already a little buzzing, suddenly became quiet. The big screen lit up, and the first thing that appeared was the touchstone logo.
The movie begins.
The white curtains fluttered in the windows near the sea. This shot was very long, just two minutes!
The movie is conducted in flashbacks, first of all, a mother called her son urgently.
Her daughter said to her, "You know your brother. He is too busy and runs around again. He hasn't been home for thirty years."
After making many calls, I finally got a phone number that I could contact my son.
The camera switched, and after the busy day of work, the protagonist returned to his residence. His lover told him that his mother had called and told him that a man named Effet died and Effet died. He heard the news, and he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and fell into memories.
The picture goes back to the past.
Xiao Duoduo actually dozed off while the pastor was praying and forgot to rattle the bell, which caused the pastor to forget the prayer. The pastor complained to Duoduo, "I can't remember the words if you don't rattle the bell."
The pastor is a very kind person, so he lost his temper and Duoduo was not afraid. After the prayer, Duoduo pestered him and said he wanted to stay but didn't want to go home for the time being. The pastor refused and said he still had a job.
The pastor also serves as a film examiner. Each film needs to be reviewed by him before it is officially screened.
His review standard is kissing scenes!
Whenever there are kissing scenes in the movie, he will ring the bell and inform Evert to come down and cut this part.
The Western world, especially Italy, also had a harsh review system at the beginning!
Next is some daily life. Through Xu Hui's lens, the town is so beautiful, the children running around in the square; the vendor selling stockings; the residents who fetch water...
A warm and peaceful picture.
Through Xiao Duoduo's communication with his mother, we learned that the timeline of the story should have happened after World War II.
Duoduo took the photo and asked his mother, "The war is over, why haven't my father come back yet? Where is Russia again? I can't even remember what my father looks like."
While rushing Duoduo to bed, my mother said confidently, "I will come back one day."
Since it is a paradise cinema, the relationship with the movie must be throughout the whole process. It can be seen that the audience at that time liked movies. On the one hand, the movie brought people spiritual comfort, and on the other hand, they could escape the real self.
Although there was no deliberate explanation, it was easy to understand. After all, in that era, there was really nothing for everyone to enjoy except movies...
How charming is the movie?
People always follow the plot of the movie and are happy.
After watching movies, it is often unspeakable spiritual communication. She can turn the thoughts in your brain into reality, subvert your ideas, and even rebuild your thinking. How magical and great it would be for an art to communicate with your thoughts. This is her charm.
Xu Hui amplified this emotion!
He presents many old movies in the film, such as "Girlfriend Friday", "The Unlawful", "Golden Sprint", "Gone with the Wind"...
Xiao Duoduo learned to show movies with Efett...
A small plot is interspersed with. Duoduo's mother learned about her husband's death and the official notified her widow to register for pensions.
When they signed the letter, their mother kept crying. Duoduo and her mother were walking home, with devastated street scenes on both sides.
The horror of war not only makes people lose their homelessness, but also makes their relatives separate from each other.
This is life, with crying and laughing.
Just because of a comedy movie is enough to make people forget their worries.
Even Duoduo's mother swept away the haze and laughed happily.
Cinemas are always crowded, and a considerable number of people cannot leave for a long time because they cannot enter.
Even though it was already late, they still blocked the door.
After the movie has been put here, 45 minutes have passed, and Matt is just showing his face at the beginning of the movie...
Many ordinary audiences were a little restless.
They went to the cinema to watch an action movie!
The pace of "Paradise Cinema" is very slow, and the story tells it without too many climax points and no action scenes!
Is this still Xu Hui?
What do you mean by playing with deep affection?
Chapter completed!
