Chapter 969 Evaluation of the movie, Yaya's rhetorical question

In Zhou Xia's memory, on May 2018, 5, at the 13st Cannes International Film Festival, the new film "The Thieves" directed by director Hirokazu Kore-eda, shortlisted for the main competition, won applause for 71 minutes after the screening. !
In the end, the film lived up to expectations and won the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes.

Although Zhou Xia was looking forward to this award in his heart, he was not so persistent.

Lesbian-themed movies, two years ago in Cannes called "Adele's Life" won the Palme d'Or.

The short time interval has more or less affected the award of his film.

And the judges and audience will subconsciously compare the two films.

Even if the movie wins a lot of applause now, this is something he is very worried about.

Of course, now his movie is no longer just a lesbian love movie. The reason why he changed the name of the movie from the heroine is to prevent the subject matter from being too limited to the movie.

Compared with "Adele's Life", from the perspective of the heroine Adele, it tells the story of an unforgettable love that has come and gone. Now "The Price of Love" focuses on the two people's hard work and love for their relationship. Paying, the growth of the two women in that era serves as a narrative line.

Love is indispensable, but life is more than love, to create a better life for love, to achieve self-growth for love, this is the theme of Zhou Xia's ultimate sublimation in the movie.

Now that the movie has won the love and recognition of the audience present, this is an excellent start.

As the audience's applause ended, many people stayed and continued to participate in several interviews with the main creators and the official host.

Although the media are all sitting below, but the film is not released, so interviews on the specific content and themes of some films cannot be done.

The host also mainly interviewed Zhou Xia, Nicole, Jennifer, and Roger about the original intention and process of making this film, as well as their expectations for participating in the Cannes Film Festival, etc.

The symposium lasted for four to 10 minutes before it ended, Zhou Xia and the others accepted the flower offering, and this ended the meeting for the first screening of the film in Cannes.

After that, Zhou Xia went to dinner with Nicole, Jennifer, Roger and others. Zhou Xia also called Yufei, Yaya, Sisi, Zhang Zhao and others.

Such a large number of people made it lively, and some other people did not come to the party because of language and other issues.

At the dinner table last week, Xia mainly talked about serious matters with Roger, Zhang Zhao and others, and tried to avoid talking to Jennifer, lest she do something that he couldn't handle.

After the one-and-a-half-hour dinner, everyone went back to rest early because they had media interviews and other activities tomorrow.

Zhou Xia and the others stayed at the official hotels of the film festival, and there were so many people this time, Zhou Xia didn't do anything.

I didn't talk all night, and I woke up the next morning. After practicing morning exercises, while eating breakfast, the assistant Xiaobai collected all the ratings of the show catalog and some comments and viewing impressions after the movie screening last night. Zhou Xia brought it over.

Zhou Xia ate dinner quickly, and took a tablet to watch carefully.

The average score of the media from all over the world in the program is 3.8 points, most of which are four-star and three-and-a-half stars.

Zhou Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and went to read the film reviews from the media.

Cannes Film News: "In "The Price of Love", the director adopted a mode of expression that is different from other romance films. There are many car-in-car scenes in the film, creating a surreal space, a special dimension, Use the dreamy atmosphere to convey emotion.

The glass of the car window separates the real space from the surreal space. When Carol and Terris are silent in this space, time is frozen and free from outside interference.

This space gave them a private space to temporarily leave that era and reality. Such a small depressive space is exactly the environment for lesbian love in that era, and their living space is so small..."

"The Movie Handbook" commented: "In "The Price of Love", except for the passionate scenes, it always shows Terris and Carol who can't see each other clearly, or are separated by the crowd, or blocked by glass, Or is it isolated by a door.

The concept of the jewel box and the screen are mixed together, and we think of similar works by Fassbinder, who is also a complete fetishist, committed to the screen in the same way, that is, theatrical effect..."

Hollywood Daily: "The story took place during the economic recession in the United States. The texture and texture of the film, the dim light and shadow, can better convey the hardships of that era and the difficulties of society.

The ambiguous soundtrack, as well as the precise grasp of the actor's scheduling, the wonderful performances of the two leading actresses, Carol's shining, provocative bright red nails; Triss' hazy and focused eyes, similar details It was infinitely magnified by the director in the movie..."

Huaxia Films reported: "Walking into the movie "The Price of Love" is like walking into a palace, solemn, quiet, faintly moving love, temptation, and love, and it is black and gold. It seems to be the choice of many girls' movies, or Young and old match, the young see the longing for the future in the old, and the old see courage in the young. It was the oppressive 50s. New York could not accommodate so many foreigners chasing their dreams, let alone a job that could not be let go. Love in the sun..."

Zhou Xia quickly scanned the short reviews scored by media from all over the world, especially seeing some thorough reviews, she felt more at ease.

He originally thought that he was not someone who knew that era, and it might be difficult for those who watched this movie to understand some historical backgrounds, but now it seems that these professional media don't have to worry about this aspect of knowledge.

It's not like Xiaoying and Xiaoai really don't know much about that era in the United States, and they don't have a comprehensive understanding of watching movies.

"Director, director, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Xia was watching intently, and when she heard Yaya's familiar voice, she looked up and saw her and Yufei coming to the restaurant for breakfast.

Zhou Xia suddenly felt that it wasn't weird. It had been a long time since Yaya called him that.

Now the relationship between the two, Yaya calls him 'husband' at home.

But considering that the two of them didn't make it official to the public, it is indeed more reasonable for her to call him that.

"Oh. I read some short reviews of movies. By the way, I haven't heard what you two said about movies."

Zhou Xia put down the tablet and looked at Yufei and Yaya questioningly.

After the dinner last night, they went back to their rooms to rest, and they didn't have time to communicate about this matter.

"Okay, it's the best movie you've made so far." Yaya responded casually, sat down and ordered her breakfast.

Although Zhou Xia was not very satisfied, she didn't bother to say anything, looking forward to looking at Yufei.

"I agree with Yaya's point of view. The two of us lived together last night, but we talked about this issue."

Yu Fei continued as she sat down: "We all feel a bit regretful that the movie lacks the epic feel of "Gone with the Wind", but the love is very tortuous and moving. The two heroines are very successful, and the other supporting roles are not as good. "

"Oh, is that all?" Zhou Xia didn't hear anything specific, and was a little disappointed.

"Then I do have a question."

Seeing this, Yaya on the side immediately said seriously: "I want to ask you, Carol is suing for her daughter, and she told the lawyer in court that she is willing to work hard for her daughter's custody no matter what, but she is unwilling to give up following her. Tetris together?
Triss confidently told her boyfriend that she wanted to go with Carol. Isn't it considered cheating to fall in love with the same sex?So, should we be tolerated because of same-sex love? "
