Chapter 901: Shocking
“Oh, thank you.”
Anson’s answer filled the press conference room with questions—
Thank you, why?
Anson looked serious.
"This should be my first time being treated as a professional actor. This is a new experience."
Self-deprecating "vase".
Haha!
A chuckle.
“I mean, I’m not a professional actor either.”
"Not long ago, I was the same as Alex and Eric. There was no difference. Just because I had a few more shooting experiences didn't mean that I became a professional."
"Believe me , I hope to prove that I am a professional actor, but now it seems that I may need to continue to prove it.”
Hahaha!
“So, the filming work of the crew is an unknown and interesting thing.”
“We try to present a natural and real state, about 20% is the arranged plot, Everything else is free expression on the spot, showing the daily life of middle school students as much as possible.”
"I think Alex and Eric did a great job..."
As he said this, Anson turned his head and looked to the side.
As a result, Alex blinked at Anson desperately, while Eric put his palms under the table, like a duck swimming, waving his hands forcefully out of sight, using all his strength to reject Anson's words. drainage.
"..." Anson was stunned, "But they are obviously not prepared to admit their own credit, so, let's just say, the movie is entirely my credit."
Hahaha!
Not only the reporters, but Gus also laughed out loud, but Alex and Eric were not in the mood to laugh. Instead, they took a long breath and relaxed a little.
"Anson, what do you think of this character?"
"Anson, how do you understand this movie and what Gus is trying to convey?"
"Anson , why did you suddenly think of choosing such a work? "
"Anson, what is the difference between filming "Elephant" and the previous crew work?"
"Anson, how do you understand the significance of this character in the story?"
"Anson, how does it feel to come to Cannes for the first time?"
One, and another, and another.
The topic revolved entirely around Anson. The movie press conference evolved into Anson’s press conference. Anson had the illusion of being tried by three courts——
Is this normal?
Even problems that were not Anson's were habitually thrown to Anson.
"Anson, may I ask, what do you think happened to Alex? How did this happen?"
Anson paused, but he didn't say anything more and remained silent. Turning to look at Alex, "Alex, what do you think happened to Alex in the movie?"
Alex:? ? ?
He had been sitting aside with a docile face, listening carefully to the questions and answers from Anson and the media, and was involved in the storm without warning.
Eric's back was stiff against the back of the chair, trying hard to hide his presence. He just hoped that Anson wouldn't notice him and wished he could just disappear, like an ostrich.
Alex winked hard at Anson.
Anson couldn't read minds either, so he looked at Alex with confusion on his face.
Alex took a deep breath, leaned slightly closer to Anson, and lowered his voice and said, "I don't know either."
The corners of Anson's mouth raised slightly, and Alex glanced in embarrassment. Anson glanced.
Anson looked at the reporter, "Alex doesn't know either."
Alex:...
Looking at Anson dumbfounded, Alex almost cried. .
Eric couldn't hold it back for a moment, he quickly lowered his head and laughed muffledly. Anson continued, "I mean, that's what the director intended, isn't it? At least that's how it seems to me."
"No one knows what happened, and no one knows what happened, including Alex and Eric themselves. The anger hidden in their hearts broke out without warning and for no reason."< br>
“One day, the elephant that had been living quietly in this room got angry, and this happened.”
“Of course, we can condemn the murderer, and we don’t have to blame him. Alex and Eric argue; but at the same time, we can ask why. ”
“Because only by truly digging out the cause can the same tragedy be avoided. This is not the first or second time, how can we guarantee that this will be the last time?”
"Instead of leaving it to us to answer, it is better to leave it to the audience to answer."
"This is the power of movies and also the responsibility of society."
"So, I have a question , why is the elephant angry? ”
Buzzing, buzzing—
The press conference hall was filled with a roaring noise that couldn’t stop.
Generally speaking, when a director shoots a movie, he often needs to point to a conclusion. The director expresses his own views through his own lens and images, and many movies even become a preaching and an output of values.
Because art itself is an expression.
In other words, the movie is responsible for raising questions and giving answers.
However, "elephant" is not.
Gus didn’t ask questions or give answers. He didn’t even have an outlet. He intercepted a fragment without beginning or end, recorded, presented, and concluded. That’s all. It stopped abruptly and was left in front of everyone. before.
And, now it goes even further. When reporters asked questions, Anson actually pushed the questions back, leaving countless question marks.
This... something doesn't seem right. Is this really okay?
As they looked at each other, a storm surged in their minds.
Alex was stunned: What, there is such a way to open it?
When the post-screening press conference ended, the discussion had just begun——
This was also unexpected.
I was originally expecting the Vase to reveal its true identity. There would be no gags like commercial movies, and there would be no hello, me, everyone, and everyone’s harmony and pursuit of each other. At the film festival, one needs to truly show one’s artistic heritage.
This foundation is not something that can be dealt with by just listing a few directors or a few classics, but the understanding of film and art, how many pounds and how much weight, and a few words can reveal everything. .
You can’t even hide it.
Just like Anson was ridiculed last year after the news of his starring role in "Elephant" came out, "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone", but it was Handan's toddler who made people laugh, and a vase's attempt to change his image through independent art films failed The embarrassment of being seen through at a glance is really funny.
But what now?
Who is the joke?
The melon-eaters who were about to watch the joke discovered that the clown was actually themselves, and the spectators who were about to embarrass Ansen were left with homework. Their agitated thoughts made them all look particularly stupid.
They were not able to embarrass Anson. Instead, they were amazed by Anson's performance time and time again. From responding to the question of fashion styling to finally leaving the blank space left by the movie to the audience, this young man's thoughts on the movie and understanding leave deep impressions again and again, and the impact continues.
Obviously, the vase is not a vase, and the clown is not a clown. Just like the shock and impact brought by "Elephant" being shortlisted for the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival, Anson's image as an actor is also subverting stereotypes.
What's going on here?
So.
Noisy, billowing.
The night of the Cannes Film Festival slowly begins.
About movies, about Anson, and about vases, it will be a long night.
