Cannes, a coastal town in southeastern France, is different from the leisure and comfort of other blue coast regions. Although it also has a blue and charming coastline and scattered palm trees under the bright sun, Cannes is like a prosperous city. The social queen, the annual festival lasts from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the Acacia Festival, the Film Festival, the International Regatta Festival, the International Music and Record Festival, the Mimosa Festival... Arriving at this town at any time of the year, you can always find Smell the smell of carnival under the golden sun on the street

The azure coastline, lush palm groves, bright sunshine, white and crystal-clear beaches, tree-lined olive groves... Cannes is the most moving gem on the blue Mediterranean coast, attracting countless tourists to come here to experience lively holiday

When Evan Bell arrived in Cannes by car from Nice Airport, it was already two o'clock in the morning on the 25th. The car was walking along the intricate streets of Cannes. There is a scenery, the blue sea at the end of the alley is sparkling, reflecting the moonlight and the bright lights along the shore; the elegant buildings and modern high-rise buildings are staggered, and the green green belt cuts the town into different squares. Array, the palm trees that penetrated the street lights blockade seem like tall giants guarding the town only

The tranquility of the late night was mixed with the noisy voices of people, and the cool night air was filled with the carnival atmosphere left over from the daytime, which more and more brought out the tents lined up on the quiet beach at night, and the young people with luggage on the side of the road. The sound of singing at the entrance of the hotel, the fanatical movie fans watching the midnight broadcast at the entrance of the cinema... In this town of only 70,000 people, even at two o'clock in the middle of the night, you can still clearly feel the atmosphere of the Cannes Film Festival. The contrasting silence also allows people to see through the hazy light, the pomp of the crowd during the day

For this year's Cannes Film Festival, Kurt Laporte booked a single-family villa as early as two months ago. Two days before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, Kurt Laporte replaced the original Teddy- Bell's location in Venice to promote "Mysterious Skin", flew to Cannes ahead of schedule to work with Bernard Isenger to promote the world premiere of "Perfume"

This time the entire tour team came to Cannes with Evan Bell. The Cannes Film Festival ended on the 28th, and then the "first" world tour on the 30th was about to kick off in Nice, and the performance in Madrid ended. After that, there was still a one-week break. Evan Bell originally planned to let the tour team disband for a week, but everyone felt that it was a good choice to go to Cannes to participate in this event, and it was very convenient to go to Nice from Cannes, so The whole army arrived at Cannes together.

When Evan Bell arrived at the villa, although he had changed into a dry T-shirt, his face still had the excitement and fatigue after the concert. The cheers from Madrid Bernabeu Stadium a few hours ago were still in his ears. The silence becomes more and more sensitive

Abner Alfred was the first to rush into the villa and started to grab the room. Diego Ramos followed behind and rushed forward, causing Caristo Ramos to keep rolling his eyes behind him. And Andre Lindbergh has become more and more calm after two years of experience in managing No. 10 Princes Street. He first discussed the number of rooms in the villa with Kurt Laporte, and then took over the arrangement of the rooms.

Evan Bell sat down on the sofa in the hall, Kurt Laporte leaned against the support column in the hall, and asked Teddy Bell, "Aren't you going to rest? There is still a whole day today. "What about the interview?" The commercial nature of the Cannes Film Festival is also very clear at this moment: endless media interviews, which can definitely be said to be the biggest party in the world, directors and directors, actors and actors, media and entertainers. There are countless entertainment every day

Evan Bell looked around, and without waiting for Teddy Bell to answer, he directly asked, "Where's the film festival?" After all, in any film festival, the film is the eternal protagonist. It is a very rare thing to be able to swim in the ocean of films. Although it is said that the Cannes Film Festival is highly commercial, it is not a matter of making a good commercial film. It's easy, not everyone can shoot "Titanic", so Evan Bell is still very interested in the works exhibited at the Cannes Film Festival

Kurt Laporte walked to the long table next to the sofa, picked up a black file bag on it, and handed it to Evan Bell, "It's all here"

Teddy Bell took up the topic at this time and said, "Apart from the press conference this morning, how many exclusive interviews are there? After the movie is released tomorrow?" Teddy Bell didn't intervene, and he doesn't plan to intervene now. He is just asking about the situation as Evan Bell's agent.

Kurt Laporte and Teddy Bell were discussing, but Evan Bell opened the official magazine of the Cannes Film Festival and started watching the wonderful works at the festival. In fact, the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival this year There are still many excellent works in the unit, but unfortunately, Evan Bell is not personally very interested

The Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who once filmed wonderful works such as "Tie Me, Tie Me", "About My Mother" and "Tell Her", is here with his masterpiece "Return" The Cannes Film Festival, a film that tells the intricate stories of three generations of women, won a lot of attention before it was released, and after the film met the audience in Cannes, two-thirds of the media gave it full marks, four. With an average of 3.6 out of the perfect score, it leads the list of the most acclaimed works in the first five days of the Cannes Film Festival, and the film's heroine Penelope Cruz has also become the best contender for the actress. As far as Evan Bell is concerned, he doesn't catch a cold, at least he doesn't have the position in Evan Bell's heart that he can more "speak to her"

The work that interrupted the recognition rate of "Return" in the media's mouth is "Babel Tower" by Mexican talented Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu. Evan Bell has always admired this Mexican director, regardless of whether Whether it's "Love is a son of a bitch" or "Twenty-One Grams", they are both excellent works, and "Tower of Babel" can be said to be the masterpiece of Alejandro Gonzalez-Inaritu. Although the plot structure still continues the multi-line parallel approach of the first two works, and it is also the same route as "Crash", many media criticize the Mexican genius for constantly repeating himself, but it is undeniable that "Babel Tower" is in the structure and theme. It is indeed a rare work, not to mention that big stars such as Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett joined this work as soon as it was released, and it became easier to "return". The hit works praised by the media, but Evan Bell is still a little disappointed. He believes that the most classic works of Alejandro Gonzalez Inaritu are always "Love is a bitch", and This time, the "Babel Tower" is still slightly inferior in the excavation of connotation, and it is not even as light as the "crash".

In addition, Sofia Coppola came to Cannes with her work after "Lost in Translation", "Pan's Labyrinth", another all-round Mexican director Guillermo del Toro's work "Pan's Labyrinth" It has also won a lot of attention. Unfortunately, Evan Bell has no interest in going to watch it.

It seems that compared to film festivals such as Venice, Toronto, and Sundance, it is really not easy to find a work with a personality and a unique style here in Cannes. Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, he could imagine, " After the release of "Perfume" in Cannes, it is estimated that French audiences will also be unaccustomed to this work.

"What's wrong?" Teddy Bell, who saw Evan Bell suddenly laughed and ended his discussion with Kurt Laporte, asked curiously

Evan Bell said with a smile, "No, I just feel that there is no work in the competition unit that I want to see, which is very rare." Indeed, in a film festival full of stars, it is necessary to make a movie-loving audience lose all viewing. Desire for movies is indeed not an easy task

Kurt Laporte raised his eyebrows, "You're not interested in Richard's work either?"

Richard Kelly, as we all know, can be regarded as Evan Bell's Bole. At the beginning, "Death Illusion" replaced Evan Bell in the movie world, and "Death Illusion" has now repeatedly become the top 50 classic cult movies. This time, the regulars in the list Richard Kelly arrived in Cannes with his third work "Legend of the South", participated in the film festival, and successfully entered the competition unit Richard Kelly It can be regarded as one of the most unique and strange styles in the entire competition unit.

Evan Bell shrugged and said neatly, "I don't like" Richard Kelly's amazing talent is concentrated in the film "Death Illusion", "Southern Legends" continues Richard De Kelly's ideas about time machines, time and space disorders, etc., but the overall plot is chaotic and the character settings are not clear, which is very disappointing. "However, I haven't seen Richard for a long time, and I should find a time to go today. see old friends"

Hearing this, Eden Hudson, who was passing by, left a sentence indifferently, "You have a lot of old friends in Cannes this time." Evan Bell doesn't have to look up at all, he can imagine Eden -The joke in Hudson's eyes, the tone of these words is obviously to imply that Penelope Cruz is Eden Hudson must be waiting with the mentality of watching a good show

As for Richard Kelly or "Night Banquet" also appearing in the list of this year's Cannes Film Festival, it is definitely not in Eden Hudson's gossip list
