One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Three Small Town Cannes
The train carriage was shaking gently, and the golden sunlight shone through the windows on the table top. The temperature in May had gradually started to become sultry. Before noticing, he began to nod and doze off, and finally leaned his head against the edge of the window, pressed the baseball cap above his head slightly, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
"Wow".
A burst of exclamations resounded in the carriage. Ren Li woke up from his sleep, pulled up the brim of his baseball cap again, rubbed his eyes, sat up straight, and looked back and forth. , and then you can see that all the heads of most of the carriages are gathered in the right window.
Turning his head, he penetrated the clear and translucent golden color, and caught off guard, the pure blue without any impurities slammed into the depths of his eyes.
The blue sky spread out endlessly, as if to capture the trajectory of the dolphins sliding under the water pattern, but after the blink of an eye, the mint blue deepened little by little, turning into peacock blue, navy blue, Dark blue, all the waves and trajectories disappeared into the endless blue, and even the golden halo on the water surface was dyed with a layer of light sky blue.
The sea level and the skyline disappeared, and the whole world disappeared into blue.
Renly knew that the Cote d'Azur had arrived.
That winding and rugged coastline outlines the grandeur and grandeur of the blue, which is enchanting, heartbreaking, and even more exciting. Only by embracing this blue can we truly understand that a color can be so fascinating, a color can be so colorful, a color can be so pure and simple.
This wasn't Renly's first visit to the Côte d'Azur, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh each time.
The miracles of nature have always made language pale and human beings small.
Just leaning on the window lattice, quietly admiring the blue, all the complexities and tediousness disappeared, I could not help but slowly indulge in it, everything became simple, the whole brain, the whole world and the whole universe only The rest of the blue, calm blue, no joy, no sadness, no troubles, no hatred, just endless blue, and my mind calmed down like this.
Entering the boundaries of the Cote d'Azur, which also means that Cannes is in sight.
The 66th Cannes Film Festival will officially open tomorrow. Journalists and movie fans from all over the world have gathered in Cannes, a small city on the French Riviera.
When people bring up the three major European film festivals, Berlin is the most political, Venice has the longest history, and Cannes is the most famous. There is no doubt that the Cannes Film Festival is now the largest film trading market in Europe, the most popular film viewing period, the most influential comprehensive film festival and the most popular film screening venue.
Every year, more than 400,000 spectators flock to this small town just for this annual film festival.
But in fact, Cannes is a small town with less than 70,000 people. Here, there is no industry, no lively tourism, and no beautiful natural scenery. The whole world knows that Cannes has three "s", the sun, the sea and sexy, but people who have actually arrived at Cannes know that those are just hype gimmicks.
In terms of the sun, yachts in Monaco are the most comfortable sunbathing resorts; in terms of the sea, Eze is the best viewing point to appreciate the blue of the Mediterranean Sea; in terms of sexiness, the celestial beach not far from Nice is the favorite of Europeans.
In other words, the Cote d'Azur as a top resort has countless towns and beaches that are more suitable for enjoyment, relaxation and vacation than Cannes.
As for Cannes?
This is just an ordinary town with rough beaches, hot sunshine and few people. If it weren't for the Cannes Film Festival, no one would visit here all year round; but the fact is, because of the Cannes Film Festival, this town has become a blue sky. A pearl on the coast that is comparable to Nice.
In 1946, the first Cannes Film Festival officially entered the stage of history. Then, a new member was added to the world's top resorts: Cannes; of course, more importantly, the world's top film festivals also added another important member.
Tall and green palm trees outline the magnificence and cosiness of the straight coastal road. Five-star hotels, luxury brand flagship stores and luxury casinos line up along the road, showing the intoxication of Vanity Fair; while private bars, private beaches, private Yachts and private clubs fill up the beach and become a top party venue for spending money.
White buildings, blue sea, green shrubs... Cannes, which seems to be ordinary and ordinary, has also become sophisticated and elegant.
When people mention the Cannes Film Festival, innovation and keeping pace with the times are undoubtedly the most important labels. After experiencing the turmoil and exploration in the early days of its establishment, and after the interruption and rise of the "May Storm", they quickly found the correct status, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the international arena.
Among the three major European film festivals, Cannes is the most international film festival. On the Palme d’Or, the United States leads the way with 18 times, followed by Italy with 12 times. France only nine times. In addition, the United Kingdom eight times, Denmark and Japan four times each.
Cannes is the most friendly film festival for Asian films, including films from China, Japan, South Korea, Iran and other regions are very popular here. Among them, during the 12 years from 1988 to 1999, Chinese-language films were an indispensable part of Cannes, and they repeatedly shined here.
Cannes is also the most commercial film festival, opening its doors to Hollywood commercial films, showing the simplicity and approachability of films to the fullest. This also makes Cannes the world's largest film market and Toronto can only be regarded as a rising star.
In short, Cannes took a brave step, breaking the boundaries between art and commerce, between countries and regions, and between awards and marketing, from selection to jury, from selection to jury. From the media to propaganda, we are in the forefront of the times in an all-round way and keep up with the pace of globalization.
Such Cannes has attracted numerous controversies, especially the fierce criticism and criticism from European traditional art creators, including the rejection and contempt of French native filmmakers. The commercial nature is covering up the essence of art; but no one can deny the success of Cannes and the formation of In a virtuous circle, countless excellent works are eager to appear on the Cannes stage.
In each year's application stage, Cannes's application works are ahead of Berlin and Venice in terms of quantity and quality.
Now, Berlin has started to set up a foundation to support German films, and the awards are mainly based on politics and art; Venice has always been constrained by local constraints, hoping that Italian films can be more recognized, which in turn affects the international influence of the film festival. . Among the three major European film festivals, they are gradually falling behind Cannes.
People are criticizing the Cannes Film Festival. For example, this year's opening film chose the "Great Gatsby" in the United States. Everyone knows that this is another compromise of Cannes to Hollywood. Leonardo DiCapri Ao's presence has ensured the brilliance of the star-studded lineup, but obviously, they did not take into account the quality of the film, or even the artistic level.
But people are also looking forward to the Cannes Film Festival, because the lineup of entries is very strong. After the final list of the main competition was released, it caused a lot of heated discussion. Among the twenty entries, it is worthy of discussion, attention and excitement. The works have already occupied half of the country, and the remaining half can often be unearthed by surprises.
No one can say no to Cannes.
But what is interesting is that Cannes is the only one of the three major film festivals that is not fully open to the public.
What does that mean?
When the audience participates in the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival or Toronto Film Festival, they are the main body of the film festival. They run back and forth in various venues every day, arranging their own movie viewings with great effort, lest they miss someone. The latest work by a master or an actor. Watching a movie is a painful torment, but also a happy torment.
But the Cannes Film Festival has only one film palace as the main screening venue. The main audience is the media and the market, while ordinary audiences can only grab very, very few tickets.
The Film Palace was officially put into use in 1949. This is an ancient building with a total of six floors and twenty-five auditoriums of different sizes, but these auditoriums are all very, very small, the smallest can only accommodate twenty people, Thirty people, the largest Lumiere Hall is the only exception, which can accommodate about 2,000 people, and the overall space pattern is very limited.
Part of the screening hall is reserved for the film market. To put it simply, it is the marketing staff, copyright purchasers and publicity staff of major film companies. Each film will be screened multiple times, leaving it to the market staff to watch and decide whether to buy the copyright.
Part of the screening room, which serves as a media field, allows only journalists to enter. Sometimes, the media field is an internal screening, even earlier than the screening field, so that the reporters can watch the film at the first time, and write the film review, lay the foundation for subsequent interviews and publicity, and also leave time for the reporters to write articles. .
Part of the screening hall, as a screening venue, is also a red carpet show. Entering the screening hall are mainly special guests, sponsors, jury judges, professional film critics, media reporters, and so on. Among them, the Lumiere Hall, which is dedicated to screening the main competition films, is also the only auditorium that allows audiences to enter.
In other words, there is only a hall with 2,000 people that can accommodate audiences, and there are only two shows a day, with a maximum of three shows, which cannot be fully open to the public for ticket sales; but such a Cannes Film Festival can attract more than 100 people every year. Four hundred thousand spectators flocked.
This is Cannes.
