Chapter 165 (1/2)

Cannes Film Festival is a highly hierarchical Film Festival.

Different stars have their own circles, media reporters with different backgrounds and qualifications have press cards representing different authorities, and different types of guests appear on the red carpet of the opening ceremony at different times.

As the most eye-catching main competition unit film of the festival, the crew of vulgar novel arrived at the film Palace on the coast of Cannes near the end of the red carpet ceremony. Even so, after getting off the bus, there were staff running to signal Simon and his party to wait for a moment.

At the entrance of the road for both sides of the road screaming crowd signed some names, a few minutes later, the crew was able to enter.

In the 1980s, the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival was only a short section of the twenty-four steps of glory at the entrance of the film palace. Simon and others stepped on the media channel from the roadside to the front of the steps, and the reporters on both sides immediately got excited.

In addition to Simon and Janet, there are Robert De Niro, John Travolta, Semel Jackson, Nicole Kidman, Madonna, Sean pan and Robert Redford, who has led the ”battle of bean fields” crew through the red carpet once before. More than half of the nine people are on the front line of attention Coffee.

Most of the guests who attended the opening ceremony had already entered half an hour before the red carpet ceremony. At this time, there was only one crew of vulgar novel on the media channel, and all of them naturally became the focus of reporters on both sides.

After cooperating with various poses, Simon wanted to take Janet forward. He was politely stopped by the staff and continued to take photos under the flash for a while. Then everyone was able to climb the glory stage, followed by another photo.

Standing at the top of the steps to take a group photo, Simon saw the judges of the main competition unit at the end of the media channel. According to convention, the judges of the main competition unit usually step on the red carpet at the last moment. Obviously, ”vulgar novel” is ranked in the penultimate wave.

Entering the Lumiere hall, which can accommodate more than 2000 people, the opening ceremony of the film festival will soon begin.

Compared with the bustle of the red carpet ceremony, the opening ceremony of Cannes Film Festival is not good enough.

The host of the opening ceremony is French actress Matilda may. Simon only remembers that he played in the last part of Spanish director Biggs Luna's ”Asian Trilogy”.

The half-hour opening ceremony process is very fixed, without the lightness and humor of the Oscar ceremony. After a serious opening speech, the host invited the judges of the main competition unit to take a seat on the stage and give a general introduction, with a song and dance performance in the middle. Then he began to introduce the nominating films of this year, and ended.

Looking at Matilda may in her aqua blue evening dress on stage, Janet leaned against Simon and whispered, ”it's boring, Simon. We really want to stay and watch the opening ceremony movie?”

Simon nodded and said, ”if you don't want to see it, you can go back first.”

Janet rubbed Simon's shoulder and said, ”I must be with you.”

After the opening ceremony, some guests usually choose to leave early.

However, after seeing the information about the opening film of the festival, Simon decided to stay after the opening ceremony.

Because the name of the opening film is blue sea and blue sky, directed by Luc Besson. In the original time and space, ”blue sea and blue sky”, as the most successful film in France in the 1980s, has been shown in theaters for as long as one year, but this is enough to prove the excellence of the film.

Simon had seen the film in his previous life, but at that time it was pirated and he liked it very much. Now, since he has the chance to review it on the big screen, he will not miss it.

Knowing that Simon was going to watch the opening film, the rest of the crew stayed with great interest.

After a short pause, the screening of the film soon began.

Blue sea and blue sky has two story lines, the competition between two top divers played by two male stars, Jean Reno and Jean Marc Barr, and the emotional line between Jean Marc Barr and the leading actor and heroine played by Rosanna Arquette.

In Simon's view, the focus of the story is Jacques, played by Jean Marc Barr. The hero, who has been obsessed with the sea since childhood and regards dolphins as his family, is unable to integrate into the world. Finally, he obeys the call of his heart and abandons everything to return to the sea.

In the projection hall.

Simon soon immerses himself in the beautiful blue sea and blue sky of the film. After a long time, he suddenly finds that Janet has put her arms around her. This is a woman's habitual little action. Simon didn't care much about it.

However, in the second half of the film, which lasts for more than 160 minutes, when the hero and heroine talk on the phone for the first time and hear the story about encountering the Mermaid by the hero Jacques, Simon finally notices Janet's difference.

”Do you know how to meet a mermaid? To swim to the bottom of the sea, where the sea is bluer, where the blue sky has become a memory, lying in the silence, you decide to stay there, with the determination to die, the Mermaid will appear. They come to greet you and test your love. If your love is sincere enough and pure enough, they will accept you and take you away forever... ”At the end of this prophetic line, Simon's ear heard a slightly trembling voice: ”Simon, I want to go home.”

Simon turned his head and found that Janet's face was full of tears.

Immediately put aside the film, Simon took the woman's handbag, took out a tissue to help her wipe her face, without hesitation, said: ”OK, let's go back.”

Sitting on the other side of Janet, Nicole Kidman also noticed her difference. Seeing them get up, they quickly get out of the way. Simon left the hall with Janet who had been holding his arm tightly until he got into the car. Then he patted Janet who was nestled up to him like a kitten and said, ”what's the matter?”

Instead of answering his question, Janet raised her face and asked, ”Simon, you'll never leave me, will you?”

Simon immediately nodded, ”of course.”

Janet's eyes were still worried, and she said, ”in fact, you are very similar to Jacques in the movie. That kind of alienation completely out of tune with the world. I'm worried that one day, you will not be interested in all this and disappear.”

Simon shook his head with a smile and said, ”how can I make so much money that I don't even have an heir? How can I suddenly disappear?”
