The Director of Music Department

It was getting dark. The guests present walked into the Palace of Festivals one after another. According to the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival, everyone in the crew was at the back. They waited for a while in the VIP lounge, and when the staff came to inform them, they led Wang Yifan and his party into the palace. During the screening hall. Everyone in the theater gave a standing ovation and saluted the crew.

Well, don't think that the standing ovation from these people is for Wang Yifan, this is the rule!

It's routine! In fact, how many applauding people are sincere, it is really hard to say, after all, although Wang Yifan is in Asia, even in the eyes of many insiders, he is regarded as a great director.

But this is the Cannes Film Festival, a film festival that flaunts art, and who is Wang Yifan? A commercial film director through and through!

It's just that although many people don't want to admit it, they have to say that even though the Cannes Film Festival flaunts art, it will still compromise under Meidao's public relations.

How else could "Mad Max: Fury Road" be the opening film at the Cannes Film Festival?

We must know that the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival itself represents the main film of the Cannes Film Festival. What does this mean? It shows that the Cannes Film Festival has also fallen!

More than 2,000 people poured into the main venue of the Palace of Festivals. Apart from guests and media personnel, there were also a large number of ordinary audiences.

On the contrary, there were quite a few audiences from Asia, and their applause was obviously much warmer. At least it can be said that Wang Yifan may not be that famous in Europe. After all, his films did not have many hits in Europe, but in In the eyes of Asian audiences, his popularity can be seen.

People are all in groups. For Huaguo audiences, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Yifan is the pride of Huaguo movies. As a fellow countryman, he is naturally proud.

In the same way, the scope is expanded to Asia. When facing Europeans and Americans, Asian movie fans who are also Asians will also be proud of Wang Yifan as an Asian director.

Wang Yifan does not agree with literary directors and those filmmakers who claim to be art-oriented, but he has never thought of objecting, but anyway, he will not become that kind of person.

Amid the applause, Wang Yifan and others walked to the front row of the crew, and waited for everyone around to sit down before taking their seats.

"I don't understand, the work of a purely commercial film director. Why can it be the opening film of the film festival?"

In the back where the guests were sitting, Quan Youlong, a literary and artistic film director from Bangzi Country, said with a touch of disdain in his tone: "The Cannes Film Festival is simply willing to degenerate!"

Next to him, Jiang Yungui, another well-known director of Bangziguo, also nodded in agreement. "Indeed!"

However, what they said was heard by another director from the island country, Saburo Ono, who smiled and said: "But it is undeniable that Director Wang's films are indeed very popular with the audience. I just saw the Asian audience behind, For Director Wang, the applause is quite warm."

Quan Youlong said disdainfully: "When filming and making a movie, the audience is not there, and the audience must be ignored. If it is just to please the audience, then what art is there?"

Jiang Yungui also nodded and said: "Yes, art has always been a minority. If art becomes something that the public understands and something that everyone likes, then it is not art."

Saburo Ono smiled, and he completely sneered at what Quan Youlong and Jiang Yungui said. Although what they said was not unreasonable, but since he thought the audience could ignore it, after making the movie, he should Hide in the film room and enjoy it slowly, instead of taking it out for public screening.

Since there is no respect for the audience as a group. When the audience does not exist, the audience must pay for the film. To put it bluntly, how different is it from doing things like standing on a memorial archway?

Why is it that the same Asian director, the same artistic director, Saburo Ono and Quan Youlong, Jiang Yungui have completely different attitudes towards Wang Yifan?

This starts with the characteristics of their countries.

Saburo Ono is an islander. As an islander, like many islanders, he respects the strong as king. Is Wang Yifan considered strong? Of course, although Wang Yifan doesn't seem to have made any achievements in the literary and artistic film industry, he is still a strong man.

Saburo Ono has his own views on movies. He may not like Wang Yifan's commercial movies, but he will not be like Jiang Yungui and Quan Youlong, saying that grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes.

To put it bluntly, it is still an island nation. They admire the strong, but when they treat the weak, they have another expression.

And Bangzi Country, with its small size and few people, naturally has a strong inferiority complex, and when this inferiority complex reaches an extreme, it will turn into another extreme.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as rushing to apply for cultural heritage.

And it's another situation if it's a literary and artistic film director from Huaguo.

Chen Guanyun is the most accomplished art director among the seventh generation of directors in Huaguo.

He won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, and the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

However, Chen Guanyun's attitude towards Wang Yifan was very complicated. On the one hand, as a native of Huaguo, he still admired Wang Yifan in his heart.

Because he also tried commercial films, but found that making commercial films is not at all easier than literary films, and even in many cases, it is more difficult.

However, as the leader of the seventh generation of Huaguo's literary and artistic film directors, Chen Guanyun's position is naturally at odds with Wang Yifan.

At this time, Xu Huang, another Huaguo literary and artistic film director, said disdainfully: "It's no wonder that the Cannes Film Festival is not as good as every year, and its influence is getting weaker and weaker. Even this kind of commercial film full of copper smell can be the opening ceremony." The film, and I heard that "Mad Max: Fury Road" has also entered the main competition, and it may even win the award, tsk tsk, Cannes has also fallen."

Chen Guanyun shook his head and said: "Cannes is actually pretty good. The world structure is like this. It's useless. There are always many people watching commercial movies. If there are many people watching, there will be a market. Only by compromising with Hollywood can Cannes continue to maintain its popularity." If the existing influence remains unchanged, the influence of Cannes will decrease even faster!"

"Besides, I haven't watched the movie yet. Maybe this movie is special? Although Cannes has the intention of compromising with commercial productions, there are still basic morals. Let's watch the movie. Anyway, Wang Yifan is also our Hua Chinese directors, as compatriots, I think that even if I have something to say, I have to wait until the movie is finished before judging. At least this is fair!" Chen Guanyun said from the bottom of his heart.

Although the Cannes Film Festival has said that in the past few years, it has gradually become biased towards capital and commercial compromises, but there are still some basic morals. At least, if it is really a popcorn movie, it is impossible to enter any main competition, let alone become a film festival. What an opening film.

Because no matter what, insisting on art is the foundation of the Cannes Film Festival and other film festivals!

At the same time, Steven Chris and Bick Downey were also sitting in the Palais des Festivals, waiting for the release of "Mad Max Fury Road".
