Chapter 1284

The train carriage is shaking gently. The golden sun is shining through the window on the table. The temperature in May has gradually begun to sulk. The sound of Hula Hula air conditioner is slowly ringing in my ears. It is warm and lazy. Unconsciously, I begin to nod and doze. At last, I just lean my head on the edge of the window and press the baseball cap down slightly, I fell asleep in a daze.

"Wow.".

A whimper of exclamation began to gather in the carriage. Lanli woke up from his sleep, pulled up the brim of his baseball cap again, rubbed his bleary eyes, sat up straight, looked back and forth, and then he could see that all the heads of most of the carriage gathered in the right window.

Turning his head, penetrating the clear and translucent gold, suddenly unable to defend the ground, the pure blue without any impurities crashed into the deep of his eyes.

The blue of the sky spread out endlessly, as if we could catch the dolphin's gliding track under the water pattern. But in the blink of an eye, the mint blue deepened little by little and became peacock blue, Tibetan blue and dark blue. All the waves and tracks disappeared in the endless blue, Even the golden halo above the water was tinted with a light sky blue.

So the sea level and skyline disappeared, and the whole world disappeared into blue.

Lanli knows that the blue coast is here.

The winding and rugged coastline outlines the magnificence and magnificence of the blue, which is intoxicating, heartbreaking and even more exciting. Only by embracing this piece of blue can we really understand that the original color can be so enchanting, colorful and simple.

This is not the first time that lanli has visited the blue coast, but every time he can't help sighing.

The miracle of nature always makes language pale and human beings small.

Just like this, I Nestle by the lattice of the window and quietly appreciate the blue. All the complexity and triviality disappear. I can't help but slowly indulge in it. Everything becomes simple. The whole brain, the whole world and the whole universe are just the blue. There is no joy, no sadness, no worry, no hatred, just the endless blue, So the mind calmed down.

Entering the boundary of the blue coast also means Cannes is in sight.

The 66th Cannes Film Festival will officially open tomorrow. Journalists and fans from all over the world gather in Cannes, a small city on the blue coast.

When people talk about the three major European film festivals, Berlin is the most political, Venice has the longest history, and Cannes has the best reputation. There is no doubt that Cannes Film Festival is now the largest film trading market in Europe, the most popular movie viewing time, the most influential comprehensive Film Festival and the most popular film exhibition place.

Every year, more than 400000 people flock to the town just for the annual film festival.

But in fact, Cannes is a small town with less than 70000 people. There is no developed industry, no lively tourism and no graceful natural scenery here. It is known all over the world that Cannes has three "s", sun, sea and sex. However, people who have really arrived in Cannes will know that those are just hypes——

As for the sun, the yachts in Monaco are the most comfortable places for sunbathing; On the sea, EZ is the best viewing point to appreciate the Mediterranean blue; In terms of sexiness, the celestial beach not far from nice is the favorite of Europeans.

In other words, as a top resort, the blue coast is more suitable for enjoying, relaxing and vacationing than Cannes.

As for Cannes?

This is just an ordinary town with rough beach, hot sunshine and few people. If it wasn't for Cannes Film Festival, no one would visit here all year round; But the fact is, because of the Cannes Film Festival, this town has become a pearl in the blue coast, which is comparable to nice.

In 1946, the first Cannes Film Festival was officially on the stage of history. Then, among the world's top resorts, a brand new one has been added: Cannes; Of course, more importantly, an important member has been added to the world's top film festival.

Tall and green palm trees outline the beauty and comfort of the straight coastal road. Five star hotels, luxury brand flagship stores and luxury casinos line up on the side of the road to show the vanity fair; And private bars, private beaches, private yachts, private clubs will occupy the beach full, has become a top spending party venues.

White buildings, blue sea, green shrubs... Seemingly mediocre and ordinary Cannes, but also become delicate and elegant.

When people talk about Cannes Film Festival, pioneering, innovation and keeping pace with the times are undoubtedly the most important labels. After the turbulence and groping in the early days of its establishment, and after the interruption and rise of "may storm", they quickly found their accurate position and gradually gained a firm foothold in the international arena.

Among the three major European film festivals, Cannes has the highest degree of internationalization. In terms of the number of awards of Palme d'Or, the United States leads 18 times, Italy follows 12 times, while France, as the host, has only nine times. In addition, there were eight in Britain, four in Denmark and four in Japan.

Cannes is the most friendly film festival for Asian films, including films from China, Japan, South Korea, Iran and other regions. Among them, during the 12 years from 1988 to 1999, Chinese language films were an indispensable part of Cannes, which has been shining here for many times.

Cannes is also the most commercialized Film Festival. It has opened its door to Hollywood commercial films and fully demonstrated the popularity, simplicity and approachability of films. That makes Cannes the world's largest film market - and Toronto a rising star.

In short, Cannes has bravely taken steps to break the boundaries between art and commerce, between countries and regions, and between awards and marketing. Cannes has been at the forefront of the times from film selection to judges, from media to publicity, and has kept up with the pace of globalization.

Cannes has caused numerous controversies, especially the fierce attacks and criticisms from European traditional art creators, including the rejection and disdain of French local filmmakers, and the commercial attribute is covering up the essence of art; But no one can deny the success of Cannes, and formed a virtuous circle, countless excellent works are eager to be on the Cannes stage.

Every year, Cannes leads Berlin and Venice in both quantity and quality.

Now, Berlin has started to set up foundations to support German films, and awards are mainly political and artistic; Venice, on the other hand, has always been constrained by local constraints, hoping that Italian films will be more recognized, thus affecting the international influence of the festival. Among the three major European film festivals, they are gradually falling behind Cannes.

People are criticizing Cannes Film Festival. For example, this year's opening film chose the "Great Gatsby" of the United States. Everyone knows that Cannes has once again compromised with Hollywood. The presence of Leonardo DiCaprio has ensured the brilliance of the starlight lineup, but obviously, they have not considered the quality of the film, even the artistic level.

But people are also looking forward to Cannes Film Festival, because the list of entries can be said to be strong. After the final list of main competitions was released, it triggered a heated discussion. Among the 20 entries, the ones worthy of discussion and attention have occupied half of the country, and the remaining half can often find surprises.

No one can refuse Cannes.

But interestingly, Cannes is the only one of the three major film festivals that is not open to the public.

What do you mean?

When audiences participate in the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival or Toronto Film Festival, they are the main body of the film festival. They travel back and forth in various venues every day, trying hard to arrange their own viewing times, lest they miss the latest works of a master or an actor. Watching movies, it's a kind of pain, but also a kind of happiness.

However, Cannes Film Festival has only one film palace as the main screening venue, the main audience is the media and the market, while the ordinary audience can only seize very few tickets.

The film palace was officially put into use in 1949. It is an ancient building with six floors and 25 projection halls of different sizes. However, these projection halls are very small, the smallest can only accommodate 20 or 30 people, and the largest luminier hall is the only exception, which can accommodate about 2000 people. The overall spatial pattern is very limited.

Part of the projection hall is reserved for the film market. In short, it means that the marketing personnel, copyright purchasers and publicists of major film companies will arrange repeated screenings for each film to be watched by the marketing personnel and decide whether to purchase the copyright.

Part of the projection hall, as a media field, only allows journalists to enter. Sometimes, the media show is internal, even earlier than the premiere, so that reporters can watch the film at the first time and write film reviews, which lays the foundation for subsequent interviews and publicity, and also leaves time for reporters to write.

Part of the screening hall, as the premiere, that is, the red carpet show. Those who enter the screening hall are mainly invited guests, sponsors, judges of the jury, professional film critics, media reporters and so on. Among them, the Lumiere hall, which specially shows the main competition films, is also the only viewing hall that allows the audience to enter.

In other words, there is only a hall with 2000 people to accommodate the audience, and there are only two or three rows a day, which can not be fully open to the public; But the Cannes Film Festival attracts more than 400000 viewers every year.

This is Cannes.
