Superstar

On the Pompidou Square (.gees.) in the middle of the small city of Cannes, there are rows of tiles with celebrities' handprints and signatures connected together. This is a collection of stars belonging to Cannes that is composed of the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

There is a row of steps next to the Avenue of Stars. The vertical surface of the steps is carved with copper for the list of award-winning films at the previous Cannes Film Festival. If you go up the steps, you can see the Palais des Cinemas, which is located on a square. This is Cannes. The main venue of the film festival.

There is a red carpet on the steps of the movie palace. It is said that the red carpet is only selected when the event is held, and the carpet is blue when it is idle. But here in Cannes, you can see a variety of activities throughout the year, but the opportunity to see the blue carpet in the Cinema Palace is very rare.

On May 17th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Cinema Palace became lively again, because today another high-profile work landed in Cannes, and the world premiere of "Pulp Fiction" from the United States was held.

In fact, the original "Pulp Fiction" did not attract much attention. The comments of the American media were enough to prove it. What's more, this year's Cannes is full of big names. Even Hugo is not in the number, so "Pulp Fiction" is naturally Was overwhelmed. However, as a representative of the United States, the chairman of the jury, Clint Eastwood, paid enough attention to "Pulp Fiction".

This year comes from China. country. Mainland China and China. National Taiwan. The works of Bay, Italy, France, Russia and other countries and regions have very strong strength, especially after the release of "Queen Margot", the limelight has been in full swing and has been unanimously sought after by the entire French local media, and even foreign media cannot refute it. .

Under such circumstances, "Pulp Fiction", "Mrs. Parker's Love. People (mrs.parker.and.the.., "Money Empire (the..., "Crazy Clerks (clerks) It seems a little weak.

Among the four works, "Crazy Clerk" is an independent film. It was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year and received rave reviews, but this time it did not enter the competition in Cannes.

Among the other three shortlisted works, "Mrs. Parker's Love. People" starring Gwyneth Paltrow has already held its premiere, but the response has been mediocre; the "Money Empire" brought by the Coen brothers "It was high hopes, and this work was also premiered on the last day of the festival. Unfortunately, judging from the feedback from internal screenings, it is obviously no better than the "Barton-Fink (. three years ago. The famous work "Blood Labyrinth (. with the two brothers is very disappointing.

As a result, during the internal screening period, Clint won the applause and called the 520 novel, which entered everyone's attention.

Therefore, at the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", more than 300 reporters from all over the world gathered at the scene. In addition, there were 500 or 600 enthusiastic audiences who blocked the entire red carpet. This grand occasion also reproduces the noise on the day of "Queen Margot" when it was released. It was only during the premiere of "Queen Margot" that French journalists accounted for more than half of it. Today, at the premiere of "Pulp Fiction", reporters from the North American continent. It occupies the majority.

European reporters don't understand the value of Hugo, but North American reporters will never let it go easily.

The members of the jury headed by Clint Eastwood stepped onto the red carpet and came to cheer. This was expected; but unexpectedly, the leading cast of "Money Empire" also sent representatives to attend the red carpet. They were the actor Tim Robbins, and Paul Newman, who played for Tim this time, especially the appearance of Paul, which was warmly welcomed by the reporters on the scene.

And Gong from the crew of "Living." Li, Ge. The emergence of You made the reporters on the spot boil, among the representatives of this department. National University. After the premiere of Lu's work in Cannes, it won the audience's applause for ten minutes, which can be said to be in full swing. Unexpectedly, they also appeared in the premiere of "Pulp Fiction" to join in. The reporters vaguely remembered that Quentin had expressed his alignment in interviews several times. I have a special preference for Chinese movies, especially in the golden age. Guoxiang. Hong Kong movie.

However, the real affair of the red carpet still appeared at the moment of Isabelle Adjani's debut, which really surprised the reporters. You know, before that, Isabel has been in the shadows for five years, but she is still the most beloved goddess-level actor in France, not to mention that "Queen Margot" has won unanimous praise and praise from all professional media in France so far. Love, this also made Isabel easily fill the five-year gap and once again become the darling of the media and audiences.

It can be seen that the Weinstein brothers, the producers of "Pulp Fiction", are really outstanding. Just a small move at the premiere gave this previously neglected movie a beautiful turnaround. .

Originally developed in accordance with this script, when the "Pulp Fiction" main sword personnel appeared on the red carpet, he was bound to fall into a brand-new frenzy, pushing the atmosphere of the scene into madness. But the fact is not the case. When the first lead swordsman of "Pulp Fiction" appeared on the red carpet, the scene was not only not fanatical, but a little lazy, and everyone was absent-minded. This really killed everyone by surprise.

When Uma walked on the red carpet with anxiety and excitement, the hustle and bustle that was like a volcanic eruption a minute ago slowly settled down. The dispirited faces made people almost think that this was not a red carpet, but something. What’s even more terrifying is that there were sporadic screams at the scene, which further contrasted the weird and shabby atmosphere of the scene, making Uma almost unsteady on his feet, and almost fell down. On the red carpet.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the audience, because no one knows Uma at all except American reporters!

"Pulp Fiction" has held two press conferences in the past few days. The first time only Quentin and the Weinstein brothers attended, and the second time only Hugo and Bruce-Willis, Samuel-Jackson, and Tie M-Ross attended, although this is just a routine press conference, there are not too many hot spots, just a brief interview with the impression of participating in Cannes, interesting things about the filming, etc., which can be regarded as a warm-up for the premiere of the film, but Such an occasion is basically a process where the reporter has a preliminary understanding of the crew.

You know, at the Cannes Film Festival, the participating films come from all over the world, and there are many newcomers, even the most experienced reporters, there will be faces they don't know. Therefore, in order to avoid such embarrassment, the previous official press conferences will be attended by important members of the crew to allow the reporters to have a process of adapting. Then they will go back to investigate the materials. After the premiere, they will not be confused when conducting in-depth interviews. Up.

The problem is here. Uma did not attend the official press conference of "Pulp Fiction". Therefore, although reporters can see Uma occupying a place on the official poster of "Pulp Fiction", they saw Uma appear at this time. Everyone still didn't react for a while, let alone the local audience in France-Uma is not an actor with some shocking masterpieces.

As a result, everyone didn't know who Uma was. Even if he was an actor, he was an unknown little actor. Even if the audience wanted to shout and scream, they couldn't find a focus, and the atmosphere was a little deserted.

As for the American reporters who know Uma, they are all human beings. How can they not know about the "Pulp Fiction" crew? Because the explosion between Uma and Hugo has been digging out. , Now Uma is a non-newsworthy existence for reporters, how can they pay too much attention?

Of course, after all, Uma is also an American, representing American movies, so the American reporters did not react at the first time, but then they responded — at least the face project was still to be done, so they occupied more than half of the reporters' seats on the scene. The American media all started to press the flashlight one after another, which finally added a little more red carpet to the scene.

Although the audience didn't know who Uma was, when they saw the flashlights of the reporters, they knew that there was at least one actor in front of them. The audience participating in the film festival is full of passion and enthusiasm. Even if they are unknown actors, they are willing to give applause; if the work is brilliant, they will never be stingy with their applause. What's more, this is the busiest Cannes, so the atmosphere immediately became hot.

It's just that... after all, there is still a huge gap compared to before, and the atmosphere on the scene is also a bit noisy and less enthusiastic, which makes it very embarrassing for Uma to stand in place, and it is not good to move forward or backward. In the end, she stood in place, gritted her teeth, and then acted as if nothing had happened, with a bright smile and calmly marching forward~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The continuous shutter sound at the scene was quite embarrassing to whitewash.

The next crew member of "Pulp Fiction" also arrived on the scene. To everyone's surprise, it was Hugo and Samuel Jackson that appeared on the red carpet this time, a black and white combination.

According to normal circumstances, Hugo is the most famous actor in the entire crew. His appearance order must be postponed, but Quentin thinks this way: instead of letting Hugo appear in the back to mobilize the atmosphere, it is better to shine at the beginning. The debut immediately aroused the emotions of the reporters. After that, it doesn't matter if other actors become supporting roles. Instead, they can concentrate their firepower on propaganda.

Quentin's idea was supported by the Weinstein brothers, and they decided to do nothing, and simply put the black and white pair Hugo and Samuel on the court, setting off a frenzy.

But in the eyes of Uma, who was separated from the entire crew, it was a premeditated squeeze, and she became a victim. Because when Hugo and Samuel appeared, there was a gap of shouts for a second, and then, in an instant, the volcano erupted! (To be continued.
