The Cannes Film Festival, which is listed as the world's three major international film festivals with Berlin and Venice, was founded in 1939. This year is already the fifty-ninth session of the sea, beauty, sunshine sea, sex, and swn brought the 3s film festival to the Cannes Film Festival. Of course, this also coincides with the commercial nature of the Cannes Film Festival

As we all know, the Cannes Film Festival is the most commercial film festival. The largest film trading market in North America is the Toronto Film Festival, and the largest film trading market in the world is the Cannes Film Festival. Last year, "Star Wars: Episode 3 Revenge of the Heath" The Cannes Film Festival, which held its premiere in Cannes, attracted global attention and extended an olive branch to Hollywood early, now ranks first in the world in terms of commercial operation, and it is indeed second to none in terms of influence.

This year, Hollywood has once again sent several fighters to the Cannes Film Festival as representatives, including "The Da Vinci Code", which has been continuously promoted since the beginning of production and was finally selected as the opening film of this film festival, and the DreamWorks reclamation group. The computer 3D animation "Beyond the Fence", the first attack after Ramon's banner, "X-Men 3", which 20th Century Fox is trying to get a share of the summer pie, and "X-Men 3" which are compatible with American, British, German, French and other countries. "Perfume" was chosen to be the first to come out at the Cannes Film Festival

It is worth mentioning that after rejecting "Brokeback Mountain" last year, the Cannes Film Festival finally gave Evan Bell a hand of friendship this year, and moved this "perfume" to the big stage in France, in addition to the commercial title. , Cannes Film Festival is also the most unpredictable film festival among the three major film festivals. It is almost a law that the direction of awards is unexpected, and the predicted results are "accidents". This is mainly related to the selection method of the Cannes Film Festival. have a direct relationship

The selection process of the Cannes Film Festival is that a small number of judges within ten from all over the world form a jury. Under the leadership of a jury chairman, the selection is carried out. Years of history: literati, musicians, filmmakers, philosophers, psychologists, historians... All of them have contributed their own strength here. Therefore, the jury with different styles every year directly leads to the aesthetics of the Palme d'Or Very jumping, there is no unity and coherence at all. Among them, the power of the chairman of the jury can be described as "covering the sky with one hand". When some maverick chairman is in charge of printing, he will do what he likes. It is no wonder that the media condemned the Cannes Film Festival's hype as covering up the brilliance of art. For example, last year, the jury led by Quentin Tarantino awarded the Palme d'Or to The documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" fell through everyone's glasses

In fact, the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival—the equivalent of the Oscar for Best Picture, is a well-known tough bone among countless film festivals. is a big factor, and luck is the most important

At the Cannes Film Festival, the personal preference of the jury determines the direction of a film festival. If the 78-year-old Oscar is an old man, the aesthetic ideas and ideology of the 6,000 judges can be discerned vaguely. In one direction, the history of the creation of "Brokeback Mountain" this year is also the result expected by countless people; then the fifty-nine-year-old Cannes Film Festival is a changeable age Desperate Housewives The judges are different every year, and the aesthetics are naturally different, even one Can't figure out the direction

The important thing is that the local media unanimously sought after at the Cannes Film Festival, which means the beginning of the disaster, because the judges with strong rebellious psychology will definitely make this work go to nothing David Cronenberg's "History of Violence" was ultimately sacked because of the unanimous praise of the public opinion circle. This kind of situation appears in other film festivals, which is called unpopularity; but in Cannes Film Festival, it is taken for granted.

Therefore, after the announcement of the jury list for this year's Cannes Film Festival, it has quickly become the focus of attention. The famous director Wong Kar Wai from Hong Kong, China is the chairman of the jury. Monica Bellucci, Zhang Ziyi, Tim Ross The other five actors, and three directors from France, Argentina and Palestine, together formed the jury for this year's Cannes Film Festival.

There is no doubt that, compared with competitors such as the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival, at the Cannes Film Festival every year, stars will become the focus of people's attention. There is a long-standing tradition of cooperation with Hollywood. , Even the top stars of the European continent are very happy to come to Cannes, a town full of sunshine, sea and beautiful women to experience the scorching heat of early summer

This year's Venice Film Festival was once again star-studded. The two-time Oscar Tom Hanks led the "Da Vinci Code" to Cannes, along with Audrey Tautou, who became popular with "Amelie", and "The Da Vinci Code". This killer is not too cold." The lineup of Jean-Reno made the Cannes audience scream in shock. . .

In addition, Hugh Jackman, Halli-Berry, Penelope Cruz, Cate Blanchett, Kristen Dunst, Ethan Hawke, Monica Belle Qi, Helena-Bonham-Carter, Zhang Ziyi... Such a huge lineup is enough to meet any requirements of all French audiences for handsome guys and beauties

Of course, there is also Evan Bell, who is absolutely not to be missed, the top star who is now very popular all over the world, will arrive in Cannes for the first time to promote the work "Perfume" he wrote, directed and performed. This is absolutely amazing A long-awaited encounter

In fact, after the production of "Perfume" was completed, Evan Bell once considered whether to participate in the Berlin Film Festival or the Cannes Film Festival. For such an art film full of personality and exploring human nature, it would definitely go directly to the theater. It's not a wise choice. It will be promoted at major film festivals, and then it will be fully released. This is the right way. Evan Bell didn't think much about awards season. After all, he shot the film "Perfume". From the very beginning, he did not have the mentality of hitting the awards. What he cared about was whether he could tell the story about Grenouille to the audience, and whether he could present the story constructed by smell in the original novel to the audience. So, which movie to choose Festival came out, but it became simpler

Originally, Evan Bell hoped to meet the audience at the Berlin Film Festival. First, Bernard Isenger is a German, and he is a pivotal figure in the German film festival. He also has advantages in local promotion; second, "perfume" "The original novel is a German novel, and its influence in Germany is very important. The chairman of the Berlin Film Festival warmly invited Evan Bell.

As early as last year's Venice Film Festival, Marco Muller sent an invitation to Evan Bell, hoping that Evan Bell would choose Venice as the place where the "perfume" first appeared. Wen-Bell felt that the time was a bit late, and after a comprehensive consideration, he chose the Berlin Film Festival

However, after comprehensive consideration, Bernard-Isinger rejected Evan-Bell's plan. Bernard-Isinger believes that the gorgeous and delicate style of "perfume" is actually the same as the cold and serious style of the Berlin Film Festival. It doesn't match, Berlin audiences may not like the film very much; secondly, because "Perfume" was filmed in French throughout, which also has a problem for German audiences: a film based on a German novel was shot in French. , not even in English; lastly, and most importantly, because the Cannes Film Festival is an excellent promotional channel, especially Evan Bell's high popularity will be infinitely amplified in Cannes, which can't be better for the film

What's more, "Perfume" didn't intend to win the award, so the direction of the Palme d'Or has nothing to do with them. The audience's reaction is the first and foremost. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Cannes Film Festival has become the first choice.

After Evan Bell tried to submit "Perfume" to the Cannes Film Festival, he got a definite reply at the first time, so "Perfume" finally chose the location of its world premiere in sunny Cannes.

The 59th Cannes Film Festival kicked off on May 18th and ended on May 29th. Evan Bell's tour in Asia ended on April 9th, and then started from Moscow, Russia to Europe. In the two months of April and May, Evan Bell experienced Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Kyiv, Bucharest, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Rome, Milan and other twelve cities far from France. is a day's journey

On May 18, the Cannes Film Festival kicked off with "The Da Vinci Code," while Evan Bell arrived in Barcelona, ​​Spain, for a two-day performance; And on the 24th, I had close contact with the Spanish enthusiastic audience at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid. Although I decided to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, the route of the "first" world tour has not changed much. Although I missed the wonderful moments of the works exhibited at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but in Evan Bell's view, the happiness and joy of the world tour is no less.

On the evening of the 24th, Evan Bell took a red-eye flight to Nice, France, and finally achieved a confluence with the extraordinary Cannes Film Festival.

When Evan-Bell arrived at Nice Airport, it caused a commotion in the city of Nice. Then Evan-Bell took a 45-minute drive from Nice to Cannes, not only welcomed by fans, but also by reporters. There are 20 cars behind him all the way from Nice to Cannes. The battle of the top international stars is on the paper without being deliberately publicized.
