Riyu's Back File 2011

George Lucas said that he will never forget the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, because in 1972, he made his first investment in "Star Wars" here, and a history began.

After a brief rest, when night fell, Miyazaki Sosuke was in the hotel's living room on time, with the heroine Haruka Ayase of "Eternal Sleep", and attended the reception held in the hotel banquet hall.

Originally, the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival was preparing to send someone to receive them, but Miyazaki Sosuke rejected their proposal and only asked the staff of the Beta Group to meet the staff of the festival so as not to miss some official arrangements. The itinerary.

The crew of "Eternal Sleep" came to Cannes this time only with two male and female starring roles, Miyazaki Sosuke and Ayase Haruka, and three invisible male protagonists Teru Kagawa. The three of them are eligible to participate in several awards contests.

Because Fukumo told Miyazaki Sosuke on the previous phone call that the jury considered Kagawa Teruyuki as one of the leading actors in the discussion of the selection of "Eternal Sleep".

"Eternal Sleep" is regarded as a dual male lead movie at this Cannes Film Festival, which means that Kagawa Teruyuki has the qualifications to run for the actor.So this time, Kagawa Teruyuki followed the crew to Cannes to participate in the film festival.

The cocktail party attended by Miyazaki Sosuke and Ayase Haruka was a social party before the official start of the film festival. In addition to the major crews who came to participate in the film festival, there were also many film dealers and some Films that have not been nominated, but hope to be sold at the festival.

As the leader of the three major film festivals, Cannes is the most vigorous leader. In addition to the Palme d'Or, which is expected by countless fans, the most important event is selling films. It is the world's largest film copyright trading platform.

Every year at the Cannes Film Market, tens of thousands of people from all over the world come to participate in the exhibition. In addition to the official screenings for the nominated films, hundreds of films that want to sell will hold their own screenings.

This is also a major income of the Cannes Film Festival. The registration fee alone can bring about 3 million euros to the organizing committee every year.At the same time, there are thousands of films that will be traded in the film market, a market with sales of up to one billion US dollars.

Among the staff of Beta Group who came to Cannes with the crew of "Eternal Sleep" this time, there is the vice president in charge of the distribution department. His task is to select and purchase suitable films for the Beta Group.

At the reception, crowds surged, movie stars from all over the world and executives from major film companies came in an endless stream, while Miyazaki Aosuke took Ayase to bypass the noisy crowd and walked to the corner of the hall. In, walked over to meet a few white people who were discussing.

"Hi, my friend, I didn't expect you to come so late!" The film selection director of the Cannes Film Festival Fushige saw Aosuke Miyazaki in a tuxedo and Haruka Ayase in a black evening gown walking from the hall. , His eyes lit up and greeted him.

"Mr. Fushige, we had a good-bye last time, long time no see!" Miyazaki Sosuke let go of the hand held by Ayase Haruka, held Fushige's right hand, and walked towards the crowd.

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Christiaan Munji, the director of "Across the Mountains", and this is Aosuke Miyazaki, the director of "Eternal Sleep"." Fukumo introduced Miyazaki Aosuke. After seeing a white man, Miyazaki Cangsuke greeted him.

"Long admiring your name, I like "April Three Weeks and Two Days" directed by Meng Ji very much!" Miyazaki Cangsuke and Christiaan Mengji greeted each other in 2007. The film shot also won the Palme d'Or.

The film tells the story of a female student who still insisted on performing an abortion with the help of a close friend of her confidant when abortion was considered illegal under the Romanian law. The result was a series of terrible consequences. Very classic realist drama.

### One hundred and seventeenth chapter ###

Under the leadership of Fukumo, Miyazaki Sosuke walked around the reception, met many people who admired for a long time, and for the first time appeared on the big stage of the world movie as a director.

Since "Long Sleep" is still being screened in Cannes, well-informed people only learned from certain channels that this is a classic realist film. This time it was selected into the main competition unit. It should not be underestimated. Cang Jie paid a lot of attention.

However, some people who are not so well informed have fooled the newcomer Miyazaki Sosuke by doing superficial work. If his introducer is not Fumao, the film director of the Cannes Film Festival, these people may even pay attention to it. Will ignore him.

However, Miyazaki Cangsuke has no ideas. As a kind of art, most practitioners have more or less arrogance, and it is understandable that they have no achievements and be underestimated.

He is not the kind of person who always seeks to be the center of the crowd. For the first time on this stage, he became a little transparent. Miyazaki had no idea, but met a few directors and actors he particularly liked.

For example, the famous Brazilian director Walter Sellers, who won the Berlin Golden Bear Award in 1998, "Central Station" is considered his most prestigious masterpiece, "Motori", "On the Road" and so on are also very classic movie of.

After the exchange, Miyazaki Cangsuke also invited several people to participate in the third screening of "Eternal Sleep" at the film festival. They are welcome to come and watch the film.

These few saw the name of Miyazaki Sosuke’s exquisite business card, the chairman of Alpha Investments and the senior partner of Goldman Sachs Group, and they were also very happy to come forward to participate. Maybe the next film investment will have to be from Miyazaki. Cangsuke got it here.

No director will refuse the invitation of the master's father. It is the instinct of every director to have a good relationship with potential investors.

While busy with social activities, the Cannes Film Festival also ushered in the official opening.On May 16, the new film "Moonrise Kingdom" by the American director as Wes Anderson became the opening film of this year's film festival. Miyazaki also specially participated in the screening and enjoyed the film.

However, perhaps due to personal taste, he is really not interested in this children's comedy.The film’s photography style is the old color that Director Anderson likes, the editing is also very clean, and the soundtrack is also very suitable for comedy themes, but Miyazaki doesn’t like it.

Although director Anderson has tried his best to make all the actors be very serious in the film, but this kind of American film that imitates the European-style fantasy literary line, except for praising the director's ability, Miyazaki Aosuke is really not good at it. For a movie, we can only analyze and learn from the director’s technique.

On the third day of the screening of the film festival, "Eternal Sleep" officially began screening at the location arranged by the organizing committee.The red carpet or something, Miyazaki Aosuke hastily ignored it. Although he is the leading actor of this movie, he is extremely expecting from the audience evaluation after the movie is screened. He has no way to shift his attention to these side branches. The details are up.

"Actually, I have not always understood Ben's film culture very well. It seems that Ben's director, whether it is Shunji Iwai or Hirokazu, I found that their films have a unique original culture incorporated into it.

But when I watched your work before, I didn’t see this kind of communism. Instead, it was more an anatomy of people, just like the young Giuseppe Tonadore appeared in my sight. I am surprised!"

In the center of the first row, the chairman of the jury, Nanni Moretti, sitting on the right hand side of Miyazaki Aosuke, was communicating with him in English in a low voice.

The Giuseppe Tonadore he mentioned is a master of the Italian neo-realism genre. His representative classic trilogy "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Sea Pianist" and "Paradise Cinema" are also popular Works that the people of the world like.

"In fact, before Ben, the film came to this country, the folks already had a rich mass theater culture. Many directors of Ben, while accepting the new thing of film, often regarded it as an extension of traditional drama.

There is a traditional art called Jing Liuli, which is closely integrated with the puppet show and developed into a form of entertainment for the masses. But when Ben’s directors create movies, it is easy to regard it as a new type of Jing Liuli from the West. , Especially directors from before the 1980s.

Therefore, whether it is an older generation of directors such as Ozu Yasujiro, or the Shunji Iwai, Hirokazu, etc. you mentioned, when they try to make their own movies, they will naturally borrow from Joruri and Kabuki. Numerous themes and elements.

On the contrary, it is me. Perhaps because of my age, I am not deeply infiltrated into the traditional culture. Therefore, I will inevitably pay more attention to certain themes that are easier to express in my works."

Miyazaki Sosuke briefly explained to Moretti the reasons for the director's style and why he is different from them.

After hearing this, Moretti nodded in approval.In fact, this phenomenon is also common all over the world. Old directors are influenced by their own culture, and it is inevitable that their works will have a strong cultural touch. On the contrary, it is the new directors such as Miyazaki Aosuke, whose works usually have extremes. Strong personal style, more shows the understanding of people and society.

For example, Chinese films have achieved such high achievements in the field of spectacle opera because of the traditional Peking opera and Cantonese opera. The "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993, is called the ceiling of Chinese films. , I don’t think too much.

Another example is the popular music and dance films in the United States, from "Forty-two Street" in the black and white film period to the first sound film "Jazz Singer", the classic "Song in the Rain", to the new century "Moulin Rouge" and "Le Zhi "City" and so on.Their birth and development are also continuously influenced by the development of opera culture, and eventually become a unique film genre. They are favored by American audiences, and are essentially films that are heavily influenced by their own culture.

Miyazaki Sosuke and Moretti talked about the impact of this cultural difference on the director's style in a low voice, and what exactly were worth learning. The lights in the theater dimmed, and the two stopped talking.

The logo of Beta Entertainment Group, the producer of "Eternal Sleep", appeared on the big screen, and the sci-fi-style letters unveiled Miyazaki's first official appearance on the world movie stage.

After Miyazaki Sosuke’s, a dense crowd of spectators filled the entire screening hall. Among them, there were many reporters and media, such as the Cannes newsletter, NHK reporters, etc., as well as some invited to come or feel Movie people who are interested in actively participating.

Seeing the movie started to play on the big screen, Miyazaki Aosuke, who was a little excited, adjusted his posture, and began to enjoy his own movie with the audience behind.

###One hundred and eighteenth chapter perfect first appearance###

As the opening of the film was completed, the Japanese and English words "Eternal Sleep" appeared on the big screen, followed by the list of members of the crew, starring Miyazaki Sosuke, Ayase Haruka, Kagawa Teruyuki's names appeared one after another until the end , Miyazaki Sosuke’s works, the subtitles are over, and the film officially begins.

At night, a rainy night in Tokyo.

A man in black wearing a low hat, took a band-aid to treat the wound on his hand, drove a car from the outskirts, through the heavy rain, and drove all the way to the villa in Chiyoda District.

The audience at the scene all expressed interest in this beginning.Because Miyazaki Sosuke used a special lens processing here, he constantly switched the lights on the rainy night and the process of the car driving, which released a sense of compactness and dreamy blur, with a strong personal style.

Next, this shot ended when the car entered the parking garage of the villa, and then moved to the University of Tokyo on a sunny day.

Actor Toshi Matsumoto and heroine Mika Yamashita participated in the club activities in the reasoning club, reasoning about the script of a secret room murder case. After the social group activities, the two people who ate in the cafeteria saw the suicide of Matsumoto's father on the news. news.

Seeing this, the audience behind Miyazaki Sosuke also began to understand the general genre of the film, which is a crime film of reasoning type.

In the style of the lens, it also has a strong director style. From the murder in the rainy night, the combination of psychedelic lighting and music, it is simply intoxicating. As a result, it immediately transfers to the sunny campus, which is very mature. , Clean and sharp.

The movie progressed gradually, and the audience also followed Matsumoto's meeting with his father's alumni at night, but the other party died with strength. As a result, they fell into the police chase. Finally, with the help of friends, they finally found evidence.

The small details of Miyazaki Sosuke also surprised the audience.For example, a tribute to South Korean director Park Chan-wook’s "Old Boy", a movie that was also amazing in Cannes. Miyazaki Cangsuke also arranged a long shot of street fighting. Matsumoto Jun was evading police chase in a long narrow alley. The handling of testing the director's skills caused applause from the audience.

It's just that his handling is not as shocking as the other party's blood, but it is still simple and neat, but the action style is like a Hong Kong movie. After all, the plot is different. Toshi Matsumoto can't carry an axe and chop the police like "Old Boy". It’s a crime, so I can only use props and simple and neat fights to show the same effect.

So far, it can be said that "Eternal Sleep" is half the success.The sharp and clean editing, strong director style, and mature processing allowed the media and audiences behind to give a good evaluation of this movie.
