Everyone knows that the Cohen brothers have a lot to do with Cannes Film Festival. In 1991, they took "Barton Fink" to Cannes for the first time and won the Palme d'Or and best director awards; After that, he won two best director awards by virtue of "ice blood storm" and "absent person". This is the eighth time that they have been shortlisted in the main competition unit of Cannes.

Therefore, everyone foresaw in advance that the premiere ceremony would be very lively, and important people from all sides would be present on time. However, when the red carpet really opened, the excitement and madness of the scene was far beyond expectation. From the audience to the reporter, and then to the guests, it ushered in the peak since the opening of the festival.

Emily Chen thinks she's going crazy.

As a blogger of private film blog, she has more than 50000 followers on Twitter and photo wall, and began to write film reviews for some professional film websites. After that, she gradually made a name in the field of film reviews. As a Chinese living in New York, she showed her unique viewing angle and won a lot of recognition.

This is the third time she has been invited to the Cannes Film Festival.

In a literal sense, "invited" sounds very tall, but in fact, like her, there are 3000 bloggers, broadcasters, online film critics and so on, far less grand and special than she thought. Of course, as one in three thousand, this is already a great honor, and she will not deny it.

In the previous two times, Emily was completely feeling the stone to cross the river, just like a headless fly, only relying on chicken blood to support. However, after five or six movies were bombed in turn all day long, she would soon fall into sleepiness and fatigue, often unable to continue, and this situation would last for a full 12 days.

This year, with her experience and lessons, she finally worked out her own strategies and methods.

The main audience of Cannes Film Festival is media reporters, with more than 4000 media members. But that doesn't mean it's easy.

Even the Lumiere hall, the main competition film, can only accommodate 2000 audiences, some of which are transferred to ordinary audiences and some to special guests. The final allocation of seats to media members may be only 1000 or even less. It also means that even members of the media have to line up.

Once you miss the premiere at the Lumiere hall, you'll have to wait for a replay at other small screening halls. At this time, a projection hall can only accommodate 200 or 300 people, and the difficulty of queuing increases instead of decreasing; Sometimes it's even more difficult to replay in a screening hall with a capacity of less than 100 people.

Therefore, queuing is very important.

But imagine if the reporters from variety show or movie guide didn't get on the line? To miss the premiere of a potential Palme d'Or winner? Or is an unknown blogger the first person in the whole team? So this is a bit embarrassing for Cannes.

Correspondingly, Cannes launched the press card system. Every reporter arriving in Cannes will receive a corresponding certificate, which will be displayed in different colors. There are five levels: white, pink, a yellow dot, pink, blue and yellow. From high to low, the priority admission ticket for each reporter is stipulated.

White is the only document with different queues. You can go in and out at any time of any session, and complete the material collection work at the first time. Every year, the white certificates of Cannes Film Festival are limited, only a few media can get them, which can be called Shangfang sword.

As for the documents of other colors, they all need to queue up, but the order of priority is different, so the queuing time and difficulty are naturally different.

On the other hand, blue and yellow have to queue up for almost every show. They may arrive at the scene one or two hours ahead of time to queue up, and even they may not be able to enter smoothly in the end; Generally speaking, pink certificates only need to be queued half an hour in advance, and they can be admitted in absolute part of the time.

In a top film festival such as Cannes, screenings are arranged from morning to night throughout the day. Journalists who need to queue up may have been capped by watching at most two films at the end of the day; Journalists who don't have to wait in line can watch five to six movies and take time out for round table interviews, personal interviews and even private parties.

Of course, there is a difference between the senior reporters of "Film Handbook" and we media, who have just joined the industry. Cannes Film Festival is justifiable for such a system.

Before arriving in Cannes, every reporter can't know the color of his / her ID card. Only after he / she has registered with the press office can he / she know the answer.

Last year and the year before last, Emily's papers were yellow; This year, her ID was upgraded to pink.

It's a step forward, and it makes her third trip to Cannes full and rich.

She can consciously choose the works she is interested in, arrange her own viewing time around the works of the main competition unit, and find effective space to make up for sleep in the busy process - otherwise, she may only sleep for two hours a day, and even the best works may fall asleep in the cinema.

In the past six days, Emily has really begun to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival. I watched seven movies on the craziest day and three movies on the laziest day; After watching the movie, you have to write a manuscript, send a short manuscript on twitter, and finish the manuscript by appointment with the magazine.

Since arriving in Cannes, there has been no time to eat. Either you're watching a movie, or you're on your way to the screening hall, or you've just finished watching a movie, and you're crouching in a corner to write a manuscript. Not to mention eating, even the time to complain is precious.

Pain and happiness.

Today is the premiere of "drunken folk". There is no doubt that this is the most popular work. It's not that the chance of winning a prize is particularly high, nor that the publicity is particularly strong, but that the cast of the leading actor Cass has attracted much attention. The combination of Langley hall and Justin Timberlake is enough to make all the audience excited. Coupled with the Cohen brothers, the popularity is directly beyond the horizon.

What's more, Langley, who has just won the Oliver Award for best musical actor, is definitely the center of the whole Europe.

Apart from the film quality and reputation, this is the most popular work of Cannes Film Festival this year. No one.

So Emily arrived at the movie palace early. Although she has a pink ID card, she can expect the frenzy of the scene. This should be the work that every reporter hopes to watch and report for the first time. The topic effect on Twitter and Facebook is absolutely unimaginable.

When Emily arrived at the red carpet scene, she was completely shocked.

She was 70 minutes ahead of schedule, but the queuing area for pink press cards was already full, and at least more than 300 reporters were like a hundred legged insects, winding and long; The queue area of blue and yellow press cards has been full, and the vast team has surrounded the film palace for the most part.

In sight, there are a lot of people.

It's just a queue of journalists. Not far away around the red carpet, the bustling crowd has become a black sheet, at least more than a thousand people, or even more. The boundless sea of people simply can not make effective and accurate judgment, just feel a heat wave coming, the skin surface is almost scalded.

I expected the craziness of the premiere, but I didn't expect the craziness. Emily suddenly realized that she seemed too young and naive.

When "the Great Gatsby" appeared as the opening film, Emily thought that it was the peak of the Cannes Film Festival, because Leonardo DiCaprio was officially present, and because there were so many famous stars who came to the theater to support it, the red carpet was their time for the people who could not walk into the cinema to watch the works up close.

But now it seems that the "Great Gatsby" is just an appetizer. The real feast should be here, right now.

So what now?

This is the only idea in Emily's mind. She is the first to keep up with the queue. After all, she is not a photographer, and it is meaningless to stay on the red carpet. Watching movies is her job; But looking at the long queue in front of her, she began to be uncertain and strongly doubted whether she could enter the stadium smoothly today.

What's more, it's just the beginning.

When the red carpet officially started, the reporter team could not see its tail. It disappeared at the corner on the east side of the Movie Palace, and continued continuously. Not to mention the blue or yellow team, even the pink team had seriously exceeded the standard. Emily strongly doubted that all the people holding the pink reporter card had gone out.

Looking back, all the "late" reporters were shocked. Then Emily saw an uncle with a white press card arrive at the scene. He stopped by the red carpet, looked at the long line, and exclaimed in French, "God, is this Toronto?"
