Chapter 311 Cannes Film Festival

Every year in May is the most beautiful and busiest time in Cannes. The Cannes Film Festival will make this small town with a population of only 70,000 in southeastern France crowded. Local newspapers publish a full-page film festival. To promote advertisements, posters of the film festival were posted on both sides of the street, and various activities of the film festival were concentrated in the main venue Palace of Festivals.

The Palace of Festivals is located on the coast of the famous Côte d'Azur. From here, you can see the luxurious yachts at the port. The film festival is not only a grand event for movie fans, but also a good place for some people to hunt for sex.

At this time, on both sides of the red carpet in front of the stairs of the Palace of Festivals, a large number of reporters and movie fans gathered. The noisy voice could be heard from a long distance away. The stars and directors who came from all over the world to participate in the film festival were waving away. After passing the red carpet and taking a group photo in front of the steps, they entered the theater one after another.

At the height of the entrance of the theater, a huge poster of Saving Private Ryan was hung. Ryan, Tom Hanks, Spielberg and others, under the deliberate arrangement of the organizer, finally appeared on the red carpet superior.

Although there are many stars who have passed by before, there are very few who have truly world-class influence, so when Ryan, Tom Hanks, and Spielberg walked on the red carpet hand in hand, the red carpet ceremony finally ushered in Here comes the long-awaited **.

The fans on both sides shouted hoarsely, the volume was more than twice as loud as before, and the camera in the reporter's hand didn't stop, and the film that was murdered in this short moment kept up with the sum of the previous consumption.

In terms of box office, in terms of worldwide influence, of all the people who walked on the red carpet today, who can compare with the three of Ryan?

Why invite so many people from Hollywood, as long as Ryan Jenkins walks on the red carpet, it is enough to attract attention. Robert Bernini's words obviously carried some other meaning.

But his films conquered the world. It was Luc Besson who spoke.

This year's Cannes Film Festival. The organizer is looking for innovation and change. Martin Scorsese was invited from Hollywood to serve as the chairman of the jury. There are also many stars or directors from Hollywood in the jury.

Ryan waved his hand to greet both sides, and was soon surrounded by photographers. The red carpet here is far more open than at the Oscars. From the moment he stepped onto the red carpet, dozens of reporters followed closely behind. It seems that he doesn't want to let go of any of his expressions and movements.

Although the flashing lights were dazzling and the reporter's yelling was crazy enough, Ryan always smiled and showed his most charming side. The boys and girls on both sides of the red carpet were almost crazy about it. If there were not enough security personnel and he himself was surrounded by siege, the scene might have turned into a vegetable market.

Tommy,

Ryan completely overshadowed you. On the other side, Spielberg was joking with Tom Hanks.

It's normal, isn't it, Stephen. Everyone knows how good Ryan is. Tom Hanks showed an honest smile.

Regardless of the friendship between the two, his eldest son is the leading actor. Starring in a film directed by Ryan, the career start is just around the corner.

Mr. Jenkins, if I remember correctly, this should be your first time at the Cannes Film Festival. Do you have any special feelings?

Walking to the bottom of the steps in front of the Palace of Festivals, the sponsor's cooperative media had already prepared reporters and questions, and several microphones were stuffed in front of Ryan.

This is a very beautiful city with stunning beaches and blue waters. I think I'm falling in love with it. Seeing this kind of battle, Ryan naturally has a way to deal with them.

It is said that you don't have many roles in the movie. What prompted you to play such a supporting role?

The movie has a great story and a deep theme. Also, this is a Steven Spielberg movie. What does this represent, I don't think I need to say more?

Do you know French cinema? What great French films have you seen?

I have worked with director Besson, he is a very good director, as for the French film... Ryan couldn't help scratching his head, he couldn't think of it for a while, so he had to say, A few days ago, I also watched a film There's an old movie called Get Out, and it's a great comedy.

His answer was obviously unexpected, and the reporter who asked the question couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Leaving the interview area, the main creators of the entire crew stood in front of the steps. After a routine group photo, Spielberg led the way and walked towards the interior of the theater.

Long time no see, Ryan. Just as he walked up the steps, a fat man extended his hand to Ryan.

Hi, Luc. Ryan shook his hand hard. You look fat again.

That's because I haven't worked for a long time.

I think... Ryan frowned first, then stretched out, We still have a lot of opportunities to cooperate.

Then I'll wait for your good news. Luc Besson laughed.

A few years ago, the success of Killer Leon enabled Luc Besson and Jean Reno to enter Hollywood successfully. Compared with Jean Reno's relatively stable career as an actor, Luc Besson's follow-up works It was not considered a success in North America, especially The Fifth Element, with a production cost of 90 million US dollars, plus high publicity and marketing expenses. After the film was released in North America, Sony Columbia Pictures almost vomited blood.

Just like a Hollywood-style premiere, a large number of insiders gathered in the front hall of the Palace of Festivals. When the crew came in, they immediately cast attention. When they saw Ryan, those from all over the world Filmmakers everywhere have complex eyes.

There is envy, jealousy, admiration, and of course disdain.

However, everyone knows what the occasion is. Even if they don't like Ryan and Spielberg's commercial style, they will not be so stupid as to jump out to make trouble at this time, otherwise, they will only be the ones who will be ashamed.

Especially those directors in Europe are often disdainful, and how many people in their hearts do not want their works to open up the North American market, like Luc Besson, go to Hollywood for a while?

It’s okay for the director to keep a bit of reserve, but actors from all over the world are different. Hollywood has a natural attraction for them, and Ryan and Spielberg are also a few producers in Hollywood...

Listening to the introduction of the organizer's escort, Ryan maintained the necessary etiquette, shaking hands with the people around him almost mechanically, and exchanged a few polite greetings. As for the name of the other party, he was rarely able to remember.

The reason is simple, Ryan or Hollywood does not need them, but they need Hollywood.

In addition to people from the film industry and the media, the organizer also specially invited many veterans who participated in the Normandy landing according to the requirements of the crew. They were wearing old-style military uniforms with medals on their chests, which were particularly eye-catching.

I believe that the war scenes in this movie will definitely evoke the deepest memories in their hearts.

Hollywood movies have their own mature system in terms of commercial promotion, and some small things sometimes have unexpected effects.

After the film was screened, these veterans' comments on the film were far more attractive than the articles of film critics.

Soon, the people gathered in the front hall, led by the staff, walked towards the largest main screening hall. As the crew of the opening film, Ryan, Spielberg and others walked at the end, waiting When they entered, according to the custom, the audience stood up and gave warm applause.

Holding the hands stretched out in front of him, listening to the compliments, there is no doubt that Ryan has received the same treatment as Spielberg. The achievements he has made over the years, even if he is far away from the North American continent, are still the same. No one dared to underestimate him, a little guy who was only eighteen years old.

What he represents is huge wealth, countless honors, and the status of the top of Hollywood.

Hi, Sophie.

What Ryan didn't expect was that behind his seat was the French man's true love.

Ryan, long time no see.

Before the Princess of Wales passed away, the two met at a charity event organized by her.

The next time you come to Los Angeles, remember to come to our house as a guest. Nicole often mentions you. Although we know each other, it is far from being familiar, so Ryan casually said polite words.

It will definitely. Sophie Marceau showed her iconic smile.

After shaking hands with an actor he didn't know, Ryan sat down. Before the opening film screening, the organizer had a brief ceremony, mainly introducing the members of the jury and the main works of the competition.

After a not too long wait, the lights in the theater were finally turned off. After the short subtitles on the big screen, an old star-spangled banner fluttered in the wind, hunting, officially kicking off the prelude to this war epic.

The old man went first, followed closely by his family members. He quickly walked into the war cemetery by the sea, where countless soldiers who fought for freedom and democracy in World War II were buried.

In the end, he stood in front of a white cross, looked at the name on it, choked with sobs and slowly crouched on the ground, and couldn't help crying.

The camera zoomed in slowly, and there seemed to be the sound of waves, and the cruel history of that year flashed in front of the old man's eyes.

June 6, 1944, D-Day that no one will ever forget.

The Green Zone of Omaha Beach, a tidal flat that has now become a protected area.

In the turbulent tide, one after another landing craft braved the wind and waves, and rushed towards the shore. The Allied soldiers in the boat had different expressions, some were seasick and vomiting, some were trembling, and some were chewing gum...

There is only a lack of people who look righteous and shout slogans fearlessly.

This is the real soldier, not the fake doll of the Great Void. They know very well that what awaits them will be a cruel battle, which is the dividing line between the world and hell.

However, the bloodiness and cruelty of this battle far exceeded their expectations! ()
