Chapter 887: A melon field
The crew of "Elephant" is here.
With only four people, this is probably the smallest crew in the main competition section of Cannes this year. In total, only four people were present.
However, the mysterious veil shrouding the crew was finally lifted, and thousands of eyes were focused on it——
There was a little surprise.
The four members of the crew actually appeared together in matching looks.
There are two unfamiliar faces in the center, one in a white suit with a black shirt, and the other in a black suit with a white shirt. Gus's black suit and black shirt echoes Anson's red suit.
The most important thing is that the other three people are decorated with red objects. Gus’s red sunglasses, the tall boy’s red tie, and the baby-faced boy’s red scarf. A touch of color connects the looks together. .
If you look carefully, you can find that... Anson dyed his hair black to match the styling?
The seemingly simple crew and seemingly unintentional styling quietly connected the entire crew. When the four people stood on the red carpet, the visual impact naturally hit their faces.
Click, click, click, click.
The sound of the shutter is like a symphony, playing in full force and performing grandly in front of the movie palace.
The whole audience roared.
Alex still couldn't believe that this was happening -
He couldn't feel his feet at all, as if he were stepping on clouds, whether he was stepping with his left foot or his right foot No one knew it, and neither the hands nor the feet noticed it. Like a rusty robot, its limbs might fall apart at any time. There were flashing lights everywhere, and I didn’t know where to look.
"Alex, Alex..."
A call came to his ears, Alex turned his head and saw Anson's face.
Originally, Anson wanted to say something else, but when he saw Alex's unfocused eyes, he couldn't help but laugh and changed his question.
"Are you okay?"
Alex shook his head, "No, I don't think so." His eyes finally found focus and looked at Anson, "This is what I imagined Class trips are different.”
Anson, "Hahaha." After thinking about it, Anson suggested, "How about you wave to the crowd?"
Alex hesitated and really waved to the crowd——
< br>Nothing happened.
To be precise, it was not without any disturbance. You could still hear some cheers and laughter from the crowd, but it was not the kind that was overwhelming.
Alex looked at Anson confused.
Anson, "Look, nothing is happening. It's not as scary as you think. They and we are all the same, coming here to watch movies."
Eric:? ? ? Real or fake? So, is the movie palace in front of us really just a cinema?
Thinking of this, Eric couldn't hold back and raised the corners of his mouth.
Then, Eric saw Alex's deceived expression, couldn't control himself anymore, and burst out laughing.
Alex looked at Eric in confusion.
Anson patted Alex on the shoulder, "Eric is really looking forward to seeing the movie soon. You can start looking forward to it too. So are you ready to share your thoughts with others?"
This is what Anson is going to talk to Alex -
A brief interview, which is also an important part of the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
Alex shook his head, "No, I'm not ready." Eric bumped Alex, "No one cares if you are ready, but people are waiting to interview Anson. We should get out of the way." As he said this, Eric pulled Alex away, making sure that the space around Anson was clear, and he gave Anson a look.
The next second, magic is born.
Boom.
The sound of the shutter was pushed to the extreme in an instant, bursting out five times or ten times the energy, hitting the eardrums like a stormy wave, and finally there was only a roar.
Until this moment, the Cannes Film Festival has unveiled its veil, showing the energy of the world's top film festival.
Alex and Eric were stunned, including Gus. Only then did they realize that the scenes just now pale into insignificance.
It's in front of you that it becomes real.
Anson was surrounded by a turbulent halo, and he honestly admitted that he was also a little nervous.
No matter what, Cannes is still a little different after all. It is different from any previous public appearance. The scrutiny hidden behind the eyes has caused subtle changes in the atmosphere of this town and this venue, even if the experience Rich can still feel the turmoil in his stomach.
Whether it is an appearance at the opening ceremony or a premiere, Anson understands the risks involved——
This is a film festival, and it is one of the three major film festivals in Europe. Compared with In everything, movies are the first priority. Not only that, the artistry of movies is more important than ever, and even the Oscars cannot compare with it.
If Anson chooses Cannes as the stage for the transformation of "fashion labels", he will have to face the "carpet star" controversy and the accompanying harsh gaze on the film.
The reason doesn’t need to be complicated: I just want to see how much this vase weighs.
A little prejudice, a little discrimination, a little arrogance, these subtle emotions mixed together are enough to change the atmosphere in the air.
Does Anson care?
It is impossible not to care. Anson thought he was free and transcendent, but in the end he had to be honest with himself that he was not completely transcendent.
However, it has calmed down now, thanks to Alex and Eric——
A sense of normalcy.
As an actor, every work must be scrutinized and criticized by the public. Some people like it and some people hate it. This is an inevitable situation; not to mention, which actor has not starred in a few bad movies? Experience , experience, adventure, this is the most interesting part of the job of an actor.
So, Cannes, so what?
They came to watch the movie.
At the same time, like the Cannes audience, they are ready to watch "Elephant", both as actors and as audiences.
The thing is that simple, this is the correct way to open the film festival.
A smile gently bloomed at the corner of the mouth, looking at the crowd with head held high, confident and calm, chic and casual, and the sunset in the sky was eclipsed.
Click.
Emmanuel pressed the shutter again, and unknowingly, the image he had glimpsed on the train overlapped silently in front of him.
The red carpet was like a torrent surging beneath his feet. However, Anson stood calmly and proudly above the sea of fire, easily controlling the whole place. All the splendor and intensity, the flamboyance and magnificence were reduced to a foil, and all the noise and boiling were obedient. The earth surrendered under his canvas shoes.
A ray of sunset penetrated the sky and fell down, like a spotlight, falling on Anson's shoulder.
Anson was the only one left in the entire movie palace. Everything else was no longer important. He blurred from vision and hearing, and his mind was all tied to Anson.
The world suddenly became quiet.
Not just Emmanuel, not just Alex and Eric. At this moment, time and space seem to lose their meaning. Cannes is drawn into a black hole, looking for eternity in an instant.
