Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 753: Harvest is full (seeking subscription, tickets)

"She" on the surface is "love of man and machine", but it is a story suitable for enjoying a lonely atmosphere.

Lyman has always thought that Sophia is very good at conveying the delicate emotions of loneliness. At the end of the film, Theodore becomes a person again, but he is no longer bored with life...

The movie is over.

The guests either liked it or applauded for encouragement, which lasted more than ten seconds.

Many directors were a little surprised, not for anything else, but the organizer's saying that the maturity after "Lost in Tokyo" turned out to be true.

After appreciating a masterpiece, many polite remarks were made before the opening ceremony ended.

Until he left and returned to the hotel, Sophia's mood did not calm down.Excited, happy, joyful, many emotions.

Film critics also like this tune very much and they are full of praise——

"This is a work with laziness in the bones. On a rainy day, alone, turn on the DVD player, the film is "She". Quiet and comfortable. A proper sense of loneliness will never be out of date."

"The story is constantly evolving with network technology, and it is very innovative to propose Samantha, an AI that can absorb data and continue to evolve, like a confidant who knows everything about you very well. With this shell, Director Sophia performed ingenious deductions. What is AI's perception of human love, and it has been calm in narrative and has a good temperament."

"She" is a very unusual romance film. Theodore and Samantha get along with some philosophical issues.

For example, the relationship between mind and body?How do people get along with themselves and society?A sense of belonging in the human emotional world?

I just watched it once, but I still have a lot to talk about, but it seems that the focus of the movie is not to discuss these.

Warm, sad, and lonely, interspersed with the lives of many of Theo.

This feeling is like a very grand proposition in a lecture, and at the end of the result, he comes with a sentence--

Why do you think so much, it's dark, it's time to turn off the lights and go to bed."

"The actor is excellent and the director is sensual, which has created an excellent work. Also, Samantha's voice acting is too emotional, and her lazy voice is fascinating."

The next day, the newspapers and magazines in Cannes aroused the interest of many film lovers who came to experience the scope of the festival.

If "She" were screened in theaters, it would certainly not have such a big sensation.

It just so happens that those who can come to Cannes are already a more outstanding group of movie fans. In addition to the pursuit of visual enjoyment, they prefer spiritual enjoyment.

You can also simply understand that they can come here all the way, no matter if they have nothing to do with the conditions, or if they are idle, they may be a little literate. Some movies are very attractive to the audience.

"She" certainly won't satisfy everyone.

Some verbose lines, single scenes, naively talked about the discomfort of a middle-aged divorced man in life, and the worry about loneliness.Emotional ups and downs are not obvious yet, and there is no sense of refreshment and climax brought by plot conflict.

This kind of movie is destined to not rise at the box office.

After all, the performance of "Lost in Tokyo" is already the best in the market for similar themes, and "She" may not be as good as "Lost in Tokyo".

The critics' praise is for the delicate control of Sophia's shooting. On the contrary, because "She" is about people and AI falling in love, there is no specific appearance, and the sense of substitution for the audience is worse.

After reading it, Samantha was not as real as Theodore except for her voice.

But this is Cannes, where the number of visitors, transactions and influence of the three major European film festivals are the first place.

After the opening ceremony, "She" was lined up for two more shows. It was hard to find a ticket. The audience's response was very enthusiastic.

Interviews, seminars, exchange meetings, banquets, directors’ receptions.

Sophia quickly became too busy, receiving many invitations every day, and most of them could not be refused.

Such circles and connections are something she cannot miss.

Especially the overseas influence of the Coppola family is much worse than that of North America.

Are you tired?

Is it worth it, only happy.

From the completion of the filming to the recognition of its release, this is an easy process for the director to satisfy.

As for the "Margins of Society" that Alfonso shot, I look at the shadow of "Rome".

Only the topic of focus is smuggling.

As we all know, the problem of immigrant population in the United States is not small, especially the border between the United States and Mexico. The two sides have very bad things in this regard.

The film was reflective and touched on the dark side, so the audience was not very interested after the screening.

After all, everyone is an adult and it is normal not to like being preached.

Inside a coffee shop.

Lehman leaned back in his chair and said to Perlman: "The copyright transaction for these two films will be handled by you. It should not be too good, but it is definitely not bad. It works well. "She" may have a higher box office. ."

"Can you stay for the prize?"

Asked Perlman, who hurried over from Germany to contact the publisher.

If you want to take the film festival route, it will not work if you have no appeal.

The awards at the Cannes Film Festival are a good plus item, and to be precise, they should be a bargaining chip for negotiating price increases.

"It should be. As far as the award is concerned, I think "Social Edge" is more likely than "She"."

Here, I have to mention the judges' preferences.

It's okay to insist that you state your political position.

In fact, from the perspective of movie watching experience, "She" is better than "The Edge of Society", even "Rome" is actually very dull.

At this time, Alfonso hadn't had the narrative skill in making "Rome", so it was even more interesting.

However, the subject matter and direction of this film are extremely correct.

Maybe this is the smell of a filmmaker.

A film that reflects the secretive crossing of the U.S.-Mexico border and the black households living in the U.S. bumping into walls, but they are passionate about life, and a "human-computer love", a film that depicts life's little bit of life and is less turbulent. I am sure the former is more There is hope of winning.

Coupled with the previous visits, public relations, and local blessings, the two films will definitely be nominated and both may win awards, but the gold content of the awards is hard to guess.

Is the technology award also an award?

Perlman ran around and was in touch with similar things, and nodded in agreement with Lehman's guess.

He also feels that movies like "Social Edge" are more suitable for awards.

Because no matter how there are differences in preferences, it is difficult to find too many faults in a movie with three views and a positive butt.

This is political correctness.

In other words, there is no fairness if there is competition and a platform selected by a single individual.The subject matter is of course a plus item.

at night.

Perlman led Sophia and Alfonso to establish relations with major overseas distributors.

These people can come here, of course they don't want to go back empty-handed.

For such outstanding films during the screening of these two film festivals, the market potential of them can certainly be evaluated.

If you think it is worth it, just talk about it. It's not worth it. It's good to make friends.

With a friendly and cordial attitude, Perlman soon received cooperation contracts from film producers from various countries.

I have to say that platforms like Cannes provide filmmakers all over the world with a social foundation.

......

In a blink of an eye, the closing ceremony was reached, and the group walked again on the red carpet.

"She" has the highest popularity among the audience. Even though the film festival has lost many visitors, some people still stayed to watch the ceremony. When the "She" crew appeared, it won a lot of cheers.

But like Lehman said, "Social Edge" is more in line with the appetite of the film festival.

In the end, "She" won the jury award, "Social Edge" won the Palme d'Or, and the best director was won by Julian Schnabel.

This man is also a senior director, and with the principle of dividing the cake, he is more suitable.

A kind of attention award-"California Dream".

Competition unit prize-"April 3 weeks and 2 days".

After the show, "Blueberry Night" didn't catch anything, which disappointed the King of Sunglasses.

But he doesn't have any sincerity in this piece. Lehman is embarrassed to vote, so let's give it to someone who is better.

Sophia was also a little bit lost, but after all he won a lot of honor.

The most exciting is Alfonso.

He is not the next generation's frequent Oscar winner who won the award and received countless nominations. Under the surprise, he hugged Lyman sternly, stepped a little wandering, and took the Palme d'Or to the stage.

Smile and feel, don't know what to say.

His head was empty, and he forgot to take out the small notes he prepared to speak.

I just stuttered: "...this moment is like a dream. I am very grateful to the young man that I stepped into this circle after I came into contact with the film. Thank you everyone for your approval and the organizing committee for your approval. Of course, there is also Director Lehmann and all those who worked hard for it. Thank you."
