"Is this Toronto?"
This is the funniest joke Emily has heard since the opening of Cannes Film Festival this year.
She is not the only one who agrees so much. A large number of reporters around her burst into laughter, and the impatient and boring atmosphere was slightly relieved; But after the laughter, the middle-aged man with a white press card went straight into the Movie Palace, hoping to occupy a seat first.
At this time, Emily reflected that the holder of the white press card didn't need to arrive in advance, but the other party came to the Movie Palace before the red carpet began. This action itself shows that he is psychologically prepared for today's grand occasion. Judging from the situation on the scene, he made a correct decision.
The red carpet finally started.
Emily followed the team forward slowly, and her eyes turned to the hot golden spotlight from time to time. One after another, the top brands appeared on the stage. It was really dizzying. From the initial excitement to the final numbness, her mood gradually calmed down. She looked restlessly at the progress of the team, and there was no sign of shortening.
All of a sudden, the beginning of the red carpet was in a commotion. It was like a jet plane flying low. The buzzing noise was rolling on the eardrum. It was stirring, brewing, brewing, brewing, and then exploding suddenly. The screech and hiss poured down like mercury. The huge waves flooded the whole audience in an instant, and even left no reaction time.
Justin Timberlake?
Emily turns her head, but denies her guess in the next second. The twisted track of the heat wave can be clearly captured in her sight. All her faces, all her expressions, all her shouts and all her shouts escape into a hazy chaos. All that is left in the sky is red, which is full of publicity and madness, devouring everything around her.
"Langley hall".
This is the only idea in Emily's mind. Except for Langley, she really can't imagine that anyone can enjoy such a unique treatment, even Leonardo can't.
Emily can't help but stand on tiptoe, through the crowd and railings, looking for the figure of Lan Li on the red carpet. Strictly speaking, she is not a fan of lanli, but it is hard to avoid a little curiosity at this time. What kind of young man has set off a "lanli storm" in the past few years?
But it's not easy.
There are a lot of people on the red carpet. Steven Spielberg, Ryan Gosling, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Mulligan, Emma Watson and others all stay on the red carpet, or accept interviews, or take photos, or interact with fans. They never leave in a hurry.
In addition, there are many behind the scenes film makers, marketing or promotion personnel, special guests invited by sponsors and security staff responsible for maintaining order. All of them gathered on the red carpet, and more than 30 people gathered in the narrow space.
In the sea of people, it is not easy to find a specific object, even the "brilliant" blue ceremony.
Subconsciously, Emily moved her eyes slightly. She didn't realize it, but her erratic eyes slowly and quietly turned to a corner. Then, she saw lanli.
Lanli is close at hand.
Emily was really shocked, and the cry of surprise came out, "ah!"
The cry was still very abrupt in the noisy noise, and the sight of all the people around, including Lan Li, was projected.
In an instant, Emily became the focus of attention. She quickly covered her mouth and widened her eyes to express her apology. Because she realized that there were only two railings between lanli and her, but he didn't come here for her, but for a small group of fans——
Just now, Lan Li was talking with the fans.
After a long time, Emily came back to it in detail. The existence of lanli is like a light source. It slowly attracts people's attention and projects to the past. It is not publicized, dazzling or exciting, but no one can ignore it; But obviously, Emily didn't have enough psychological preparation. Suddenly, she saw Lan Li who was close at hand bumping into her eyes, and the voice of surprise blurted out.
"Sorry." Emily put down her palms, wrinkled her face and apologized.
Emily could feel that Langley's eyes fell on her. She is very small, standing in the crowd, almost submerged in the western big tall, looking pathetically squeezed in the gap, but at this moment, other reporters around all have to give way to space, the air flow has become smooth.
"I hope my appearance is not a shock." Lan Li said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Around the reporters have issued a low laughter.
"No, no, of course not." Emily repeatedly shakes her head and emphasizes her attitude, "I just... I just..." Emily finds that she can't tell the truth, otherwise it's too impolite, and the topic becomes, "I'm just too tired. You know, welcome to Cannes. "
Emily tried to keep her tone light.
"But that's the charm of the festival, isn't it?" "In the past few days, I've watched several films, which are very interesting, but for the moment, what I'm looking forward to most is the 'Venus in fur' that will be shown tomorrow," he said
"And what's your favorite?" Emily asked subconsciously that she didn't expect the answer from the lenley meeting, but she didn't expect that she really got the answer.
"Frotteville station." Without any hesitation, Langley blurted out, "in the main competition unit, Adele's life."
"Do you think so? Me too! " Emily's eyes were shining brightly. "I had a quarrel with a reporter about Adele's life in the Movie Palace yesterday. He thought it was a work without any meaning or depth. God, I can't believe it
"American journalist?" Lan Li asked lightly.
Emily didn't answer, but the expression of her open mouth was enough to explain the problem: Langley guessed right.
"American journalists can't appreciate the delicacy and profundity of Adele's life. On the whole, it reflects the confusion and myth of the middle class in Europe, not in the United States. Of course, the situation of "frutville station" is reversed. European journalists are bound to think that the level of discussion is too shallow, and there is no aftertaste or reflection. "
"Hey, lenley! Don't stigmatize like this, OK? Personally, I like 'flatville station' very, very much. "
"Wait, I really don't think Adele's life is particularly good."
"What? I beg your pardon? Can you say that again? "
All the reporters around can't wait to express their opinions. It seems that they are eager to roll up their sleeves in the hot discussion. There is a debate on the spot. The voices of Emily and Langley are no longer special. They are just two opinions in countless voices.
Langley could sense Emily's gaze. He said with a smile, "this is my favorite moment."
After watching the movie seriously, through digestion and precipitation, condense their own views, and then fight for the movie they like. It's not personal attack, but sticking to the position for the sake of love, trying to persuade the other party, not to make the other party like the movie they love, but to make the other party agree with their own aesthetic and opinion on the movie.
This is undoubtedly the most wonderful moment of the festival. From Sundance to telluride, from Toronto to Berlin, that's always the case.
Emily didn't have time to speak, and then she saw that lanli raised her eyebrows and motioned to the front, "Hey, although I hate to interrupt you, the team has moved forward and continues to stay here. Are you sure it doesn't matter?"
The pink reporters in line turned their heads and noticed that the line had already moved about 20 meters, and they were still in the same place, so they all stepped forward and shortened the distance quickly.
Emily was among them.
After stopping, when Emily tried to find the figure of lanli, she saw only one figure. She could not help showing a big smile, "it was also my favorite moment."
Emily suddenly understood why Berlin and Sundance love Langley so much. At the beginning of this year, Langley regretfully missed the two film festivals, but it did not affect his popularity in the two cities at all. The topic of Langley can be heard in every cinema and every occasion. can be heard without end.
"Ah, ah
"Ah, ah
The frenzied screams interrupted Emily's thoughts. The upsurge of the live audience has reached an incredible level, shaking dangerously on the edge of losing control. The red color of the film palace is almost suffocating, but people can't help but want to participate in it and become a part of them.
However, after all, Emily followed the team, entered the Movie Palace and walked in the direction of Lumiere hall. Her enthusiasm for "drunken folk songs" is heating up bit by bit, and her mood has begun to rise. What kind of work will this be?
On the red carpet, the boom has just begun.
All the audience in the line of sight were shouting frantically, and the twisted and ferocious faces came to their faces. They were venting their emotions, waiting for seven days, repressing for seven days, and enduring for seven days. Now, at this moment, they can finally release themselves completely and welcome the arrival of lanli with the highest treatment.
