Chapter 397 Long time no see

There were many magazines and newspapers piled up on the coffee table, and there was a book that was spread out on the top, which happened to be the content of "Spider".

To be honest, among all the shortlisted films this year, except for "Amy's World" is this "Spider".

Although Cannes is still focused on the movie itself compared to Berlin and Venice, which are gradually eroded by "political correctness", some movies are naturally eye-catching because of their themes or creators.

For example, this "Spider".

A female journalist went deep into Mashhad, the most sacred city in Iran, to investigate the serial murderer "Spider", who murdered female sex workers in the name of "cleaning sins".

As the death toll increased dramatically, "spiders" finally attracted everyone's attention, but the female reporter found that the entire society began to regard "spiders" as their hero.

The opportunity to pursue justice became increasingly slim, and finally the female reporter seduced her and brought the murderer to justice.

But the irony is that after the murderer was executed, his wife was proud of it. His son vowed to inherit his father's will, and public opinion actually praised his "feat".

The bravery of the female reporter seemed to only fulfill the justice in her heart, and the world she was in still could not see a glimmer of hope.

The film is adapted from a real event that took place in Iran. Its director, Aria Khdi, is Swedish Iranian, and the heroine Nazanin Shahi is French Iranian, and the heroine's life is also legendary.

Nazanning was born in Iran and was originally a household actress in Iran.

When she was 25 years old, someone stole a private video of her and her boyfriend and made it into a CD to sell it.

Data shows that at least 100,000 people have purchased this video, with sales reaching US$4 million.

If it is converted to the box office of the movie, it has broken Iran's box office record.

Nazanin is a victim and deserves the sympathy of the public, but the reality is completely opposite. The outside world not only does not sympathize with her, but also pushes her into the abyss.

Because of this video, Nazanning's image disappeared. People criticized her for being unmarried because she lived together without marriage. Some Iranians even demanded that she be whipped and stoned to death.

When the popular jade girl fell from the altar overnight, Nazanning was banned by the whole country and despised by the people. An actress with endless potential was forced to go abroad to seek a way out for survival.

Nazanning has experienced hardships over the years, worked as a temporary worker, and worked as a supporting role. By chance, she met director Aria Hdi, which led to this "Spider".

There is more to say about this movie.

"Spider" is intended to express the serious contempt and persecution of women in the Middle East, reflect on the distortion of war and religion on human nature, expose the dark side of society and satirize the Iranian authorities. As expected, Aria did not obtain permission to film in Iran.

After the film was completed, the entire crew was criticized by Iranian officials and even received death threats and warnings.

"Spider" has not been released yet, and everyone has no idea of ​​the quality, but this movie contains almost all the elements of winning the award.

It reveals profound social problems, and the life story of the main creators is tortuous enough to make a biographical movie. The crew will not hesitate to fight against the "evil forces" for the art of the film, but also satisfy the helping complex of the high-ranking judges to save the people from the fire and fire...

All elements are enough to make "Spider" stand out among all the shortlisted films and gain huge attention.

Seeing that Mo Yun had been staring at the poster of "Spider", Zhong Canan comforted: "Don't worry too much. This year's jury chairman was the judge of the year I took the Palme d'Or, which was a bit incest."

Mo Yun couldn't help laughing. She knew that Zhong Canan was laughing. If he could win the prize by relying on incense, he would be too ridiculous.

No one can tell the judge's preferences. As a participant, in addition to controlling the quality of the movie, he also tries his best to communicate with the public relations. As for the result, he can only leave his power to do his best.

The three of them chatted for a while before they parted. On the way back to the room, Mo Yun suddenly asked, "Are you confident?"

Yan Fuguang turned his head and said with a smile: "Which Aunt Mo is referring to, the Palme d'Or? Or the Queen of the Film?"

Seeing Yan Fuguang pointing out directly, Mo Yun said angrily: "Of course he is the queen of the movie!"

"No."

Mo Yun stood there in a daze, this was not like what Yan Fuguang could say.

Although she always seems calm and composed, Mo Yun knows that it is because Yan Fuguang has absolute confidence in herself, and as long as she does anything, it will be the best.

Is she not satisfied with her performance?

It shouldn't be!

"Why?"

Yan Fuguang smiled and said, "This movie is known for its creativity. As long as the performance is above the level, it is enough. There is nothing worth digging in acting. Does the actress best actor... I don't think there is much hope."

This was the first time Mo Yun heard Yan Fuguang talk about this topic, and she didn't expect such a calm attitude.

Perhaps Yan Fuguang said it too naturally, Mo Yun's state of mind became strangely calmed down.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that it is correct to say this.

Mo Yun's first reaction to the script was that the story was amazing. Yan Fuguang would definitely not lose money when filming it, but compared to those characters who explored human nature, Amy was indeed a little shallower.

It’s not that Yan Fuguang didn’t perform well, but that the depth of the role was there. No matter how good the exam was, he would only score 100 points.

The reason why many actors who go for awards like to play crazy, stupid, ugly, and weird characters is because they have enough room to play.

Mo Yun observed carefully for a while and saw that Yan Fuguang was always calm as usual, she finally believed that she really thought so.

"I didn't expect that I was so old that I was not as calm as you."

"It's just analyzing the facts." Yan Fuguang smiled, "With this creativity, the best screenwriter and the best director, there is a fight, and it's not impossible for the Palme d'Or."

"Tsk tsk, Zhong Canan is afraid you don't have confidence!" Mo Yun joked.

Yan Fuguang also smiled: "Director Zhong must be confident, maybe he will even be ready for the award speech."

As they were talking, they left at the door of Yan Fuguang's room. Just as they were about to ring the doorbell, a person came over the corridor.

She was thin and tall, with her head down and a baseball cap. Mo Yun felt familiar but couldn't remember who it was.

But Yan Fuguang recognized him at a glance. This was Jimmy Kench, who had not seen for a long time, the male lead in "Amy's World".

He was a little distracted. He walked closer and saw someone opposite him. As soon as he looked up, he saw Yan Fuguang and Mo Yun.

Jimmy looked so different from what she looked like half a year ago. She was so thin that her cheeks were sunken, and her thin jacket was hanging on her body empty.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello to the two of them.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"haven't seen you for a long time."
