Chapter 528 Cannes Premiere
"La La Land" is the first of the three Chinese-language films to premiere in the main competition.

Jia Zhangke's "The Ancients of Mountains and Rivers" is on the 8th day, and Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Assassin" is on the 9th day.

The premiere dates of the three shortlisted films are slightly later.

The Cannes premiere of "La La Land" has the most luxurious red carpet lineup among the movies premiering these days.

Not only did it attract domestic and foreign media, but also domestic and foreign actors and stars came to find out.

"Fan Binbin's white strapless dress is sweet."

"Li Binbin's pink skirt shows off her S-curve"

“Zhou Yun’s little black dress is pretty”

"Shu Qi's see-through dress is so cute."

"Jia Zhangke and Zhao Tao show up to show affection"

Movies made by great directors never have to worry about selling, which is why Cannes has an unusual preference for great directors. It can not only increase the popularity and weight of Cannes, but also attract film producers and audiences.

"Sissi! Congratulations!"

Li Binbin saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

"."

Sitting with Li Binbin was Jun Ji-hyun, who had worked with "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan". Her deep V skirt looked very elegant.

"If I could have this resource, that's all. Just think about it!"

At this time, more and more people came to the premiere. Even the Coen brothers and judge Sophie Marceau and others came to attend the premiere of "La La Land".

At this moment, there is a long queue at the entrance of the screening hall, it is the movie fans holding audience tickets.

In the hall, Liu Yifei waved happily when she saw Zhou Yun coming.

While the two were chatting, they looked at Liu Yifei and Li Mu in front of them, especially Jun Ji-hyun, who had worked with Li Mu before, with extremely envious eyes in their eyes.

Many netizens thousands of miles away stared at the white snow in front of the screen.

Zhou Yun came over with a smile and shook hands with Liu Yifei.

"Sister Zhou Yun!"

I have to say that the gap between everyone is particularly obvious.

Fan Binbin and others looked at the conversation between the Coen brothers, Li Mu and Liu Yifei with slight envy.

Domestic actresses in Cannes have come one after another, and various news are scrolling on the news columns of major entertainment media platforms.

The two chatted for a while.

Thinking of this, Fan Binbin couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, instantly extinguishing his unrealistic fantasies.

"Why don't Director Jiang come with you?"

"He's not free, I just came over to accompany the crew to promote it."

Zhou Yun is from the crew of "Assassin Nie Yinniang". Although he did not attend the Cannes opening ceremony, he will naturally appear at the subsequent premieres.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious, but I cannot be envious either!
Li Mu is in front of the stage holding a microphone. During the premiere, he always has to say a few words, either long or short.
"As we all know, this is a gift to my wife, yes, you heard it right. The engagement was announced last time in Cannes. From this point of view, Cannes is indeed a good place, right? I will come again next time."

Li Mu smiled, and Liu Yifei couldn't help but shyly twist a strand of hair behind her ears with her hands. At this moment, even the corners of her eyes seemed to be showing a hint of happiness.

There was a burst of good-natured applause and laughter in the theater.

Seeing this, Li Mu changed the subject, "The year 2015, which was dominated by various emotions such as disagreement, distrust, and disappointment, was undoubtedly very dramatic, but I believe this movie can heal our tired souls."

"You're so ambitious!"

When Jia Zhangke heard what Li Mu said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Amid everyone's expectations, "La La Land" finally debuted.

Not to mention the complete movie, when the first scene of the movie was played and the title came out, the whole audience burst into applause. This cool scene looked a bit like a singing and dancing scene that had been blessed by Indians. It was really catchy. As for the audience, they couldn't help but be immersed in this beauty.

The media made eye contact while looking at each other, as if the media's evaluation was already settled.

In fact, the story of "La La Land" is actually very simple. It tells the story of a process of falling in love and pursuing dreams between two young people with artistic dreams.

It sounds like a cheesy love story. The whole story is divided into five chapters: winter, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

As the name suggests, the characteristics of each season are also the themes of each chapter.

The first winter is a deep chapter. The audience can see two depressed young people with artistic dreams.

"Spring" is a dynamic chapter. You can see the two people encounter each other, and you can see a magical city beyond your knowledge, a quiet, beautiful, and modern place outside the sunshine, movies, and vanity fair, wrapped in a nostalgic retro style. , a modern and enthusiastic city where people love to dance and sing whenever they disagree.
In the romantic chapter "Summer", you can hear songs, dances and pieces of music carefully arranged by the creators, and in this music, you can experience a burning love.

In the cruel chapter "Autumn", what we see is helplessness, the tug-of-war between reality and art, and the showdown between love and life.

Finally, I return to the deep "Winter" again, and what I see is a masterpiece that combines the essence of the four chapters just now. It is an ingenious ending that is unconventional and moving.

"La La Land" not only allowed the audience to enjoy a visual feast of music and dance, but also photographed Yifei Liu in her most beautiful state. Singing and dancing at the top of the mountain at night, and the graceful dance under the stars at the Science and Technology Museum.
These clips not only made the audience intoxicated, but also made the actresses on the scene cry.

For actors, this kind of scene is rare. It is a scene that can be engraved in the classics, and it all belongs to the incredibly beautiful woman in the center of the front row.

"This is too biased."

At this moment, even Zhao Tao couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

"Eccentricity is biased, but there's no problem with his choice. It's a perfect fit."

Jia Zhangke also had to lament that the heroine was chosen just right.

Liu Yifei, who can control any color of clothing, combines it with beautiful pictures and well-designed dances, as if the picture was suddenly made by nature, making people deeply immersed in it.

"Like it?"

Li Mu asked softly in Liu Yifei's ear.

After the post-production of this film was completed, Liu Yifei watched it for the first time. She never expected that it would turn out like this in the end.

"Ok!"

Liu Yifei stared at herself on the screen, choked up in her words, "I thought I would screw up during the performance!"

"Thinking too much, you don't trust me. Besides, so what if I screw up, it's not like I can't afford to pay."

Li Mu reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Liu Yifei's eyes. His peripheral vision swept the entire theater. Everyone was paying attention to the plot, which proved that the movie was a success.

Liu Yifei held Li Mu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and remained silent for a long time.
After the movie was screened, the applause was very warm and lasting.

What is waiting next is the evaluation of the movie by major media.

This evaluation is important, but it represents the media and audience reputation of the film, but for awards, it is not important to say it is not important.

Because in history, many projects with good reputations still failed to win awards, and those with bad reputations did not win awards from time to time.

You can't completely rely on this to guess.

But the only thing that is certain is that the good reputation proves that this movie is more popular in Cannes.

In the anticipation of Li Mu and Liu Yifei, the media reputation came out quickly on the same day.

The official Cannes program directly gave a classic evaluation: a film about people embracing life and dreams, which touched human beings all over the world.
Foreign media such as "Variety" and "Hollywood Report" also issued a large number of gorgeous words of praise, saying that such a movie has never been made before, but Da Li Mu made it. It's a wonderful, sweet, sad movie, and Yifei Liu has never looked more radiant than she does in it.

"A love story between a man and a woman that has been performed countless times. The director has integrated romance, surrealism, song and dance, and music. The ending is a bit sadistic, but it is unconventional and creative. It is a modern tribute musical, fully recommended."

These reviews are by no means low.

You know, this is not a critic's score.

Film critics may also be the result of public relations. After all, in this year, everyone knows the integrity of film critics.

No matter how much you claim to be an artistic film critic, as long as your public relations are in place, they can throw away your integrity.

The influence of film critics has long since waned.

However, the media are not film critics. Their reviews and reports can have a very strong influence on public opinion and the public. Being unanimously praised by these media, attracting movie fans to watch is not a problem at all.

If the response from fans is good enough, the media will in turn increase their efforts to promote the film, thus creating the film's status.
And these media are event publications!

Although the program catalog does not represent the opinions of the Cannes Film Festival jury, the high score in the program catalog condenses the opinions of the film's fans and the media throughout Cannes.

In other words, the movie has received unanimous praise from everyone and Yifei Liu's performance has been affirmed.

Some people may say that since film critics can be publicized, then the media cannot be publicized?
In fact, it is possible, but public relations is not a panacea.

Yes, you can publicize all media.

But the connections and money required are absolutely astronomical.

What's more, not all media can be publicized.

Moreover, public relations media also need to look at cost-effectiveness.

Moreover, the Cannes Film Festival's program media are relatively high-style, and the price/performance ratio is really low.
At this time, the domestic praise was even greater, and a large number of reports had filled the entire entertainment page.

"It's hard to tell whether this will be a classic movie that will be recorded in film history, but it is done well enough. It has a meaning, that is, it abandons all historical baggage and builds on the past and the future."

Various positive reviews have made domestic audiences look forward to it.

After all, it’s not that common for a movie to be almost entirely hype.

"Damn, I saw the climax after reading the comments, but when I looked at the release date, it was Chinese Valentine's Day, August 8.20th. Why didn't you release it five days later, Liu Yifei's birthday?"

"The headlines on the day of the Cannes Film Festival were all about 'La La Land'. It seems that the film really touched the hearts of these people!"

"I want to see it. I just want to see what these people say about Liu Yifei's movie."
