Chapter 909 Queuing up to get a number
People, densely packed, all of them are people.
Some were sitting cross-legged on the ground with computers on their knees and tapping their fingers rapidly; some were holding voice recorders and chattering into the microphone to record; some were making calls with excited and excited expressions. Irritated; some are talking to others, with all kinds of expressions.
A figure came towards me, carrying a large bag, but his steps were extremely brisk. He quickly walked through the crowds of people to the elevator. After waiting for the elevator to arrive, he left the place sweating profusely and finally relaxed. With a breath, his eyebrows relaxed.
In the long and narrow corridor, there is a billowing heat wave at this moment. Although there is no outside light in the corridor, you can feel the temperature outside. The excitement, excitement and excitement are reflected in the eyes and words. As it passed on, the whole world was spinning at high speed.
Everywhere you look, they are all people.
After walking only ten meters forward, Emmanuel felt a thin layer of sweat seeping out of his back. The grand scene in front of him was completely unexpected——
What's wrong with this? Well, what about the promised rush to the street?
The official program score is 2.1. Even if the Lumiere Hall stood up for a standing ovation for 12 minutes after the premiere, the critic score is a disaster. Even if it is an art film, a failure is still a failure. .
Combined with Anson’s situation, an idol vase is trying to make a comeback in Cannes by relying on a washed-up independent director, and he has also ignited the "carpet star" controversy through his red carpet looks. No matter how you look at it, the media is making trouble for everyone. It's a carnival. At this moment, everyone should be gloating and preparing to watch jokes, one or two complaining about Anson's overestimation of his abilities.
so what?
Are all the media in front of us just trolls? When did Cannes become dominated by such a group of unscrupulous media who have nothing to do but have enough to eat?
Emmanuel is a little confused.
For a while, I thought about Ivan's rage and the lively event in front of me; for a while, I thought about the venue score and the controversy over Anson's "Vase Idol". All kinds of thoughts were pulling at each other, and my head was about to explode.
Bewildered and at a loss.
Emmanuel only felt that his steps were stepping on the clouds, swaying one step at a time.
Being there, it’s still hard to believe what I’m seeing.
Knock knock.
When he reached his destination, Emmanuel knocked on the door subconsciously. When he realized the knock on the door, his heart started beating wildly.
Just like a fledgling boy.
But then I thought about it, this is indeed new news, and it is probably the same for other media, so the bustling figures in the corridor are just like her, with a restlessness exuding from their expressions, eyes and movements——
Not calm Come down.
Then, the door to the room opened, and a young and handsome face appeared.
Emmanuel was completely stunned. The accidents came one after another and she couldn't stop. She felt that the sequelae of her sprint of 100 meters were showing up. Her heart was on the verge of exploding, and there was only a roar above her ears.
Anson?
Why did Anson appear in front of me? Why did Anson come to open the door?
Obviously, the person involved was completely unaware of this and showed a smile.
"Sorry, we are short of manpower. Please excuse our work efficiency. We are already doing our best. How can I help?"
Emmanuel:...
Blinking his eyes, "I need to make an appointment."
Anson, "Oh, take the number, right? Wait a minute, Noah, Noah!"
"Sorry, please be patient."
Unexpected, 100% unexpected, to the media in front of me That’s true for journalists, and it’s true for the “Elephant” crew.
Generally speaking, when a crew arrives at the premiere of the Cannes main competition unit, all subsequent work is scheduled in advance, so that neither the crew's time nor the media's time is wasted. Everyone cooperates with each other.
However, the crews are also divided into popular and unpopular ones.
Just like this year, "Mystic River", which is full of stars and big names, is undoubtedly the darling of the media. Even before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, the media has completed communication with the media/publicity department of the crew, and the interview schedule is full for two days. The plug can't be inserted. "5pm", which is also the main competition unit, has a different look. In addition to the routine interviews with Cannes official partner media, there are only two or three media appointments for interviews. We still need to see the feedback from the subsequent market screenings. Only then can we further stimulate media interest.
"Elephant" belongs to the latter.
The entire cast, except for Anson, are all non-professional actors. There is no promotional information, no plot synopsis, and even the official poster is only a pitiful one, completely unable to attract the attention of the media.
Moreover, the movie is invested by HBO. HBO originally did not plan to let the movie go to theaters, but to broadcast it on TV stations as a TV movie. Naturally, it did not prepare a professional movie promotion team.
Of course, the crew at least includes Anson. Relying on Anson's reputation, HBO and Eve arranged a series of interviews for the crew, not many, but not many, which is quite satisfactory in Cannes.
The itinerary was all arranged yesterday.
This morning, however, all hell broke loose.
Including the "Elephant" crew themselves were confused and were involved in the storm.
The media swarmed in, catching the crew by surprise. They had no time to screen, so they could only arrange follow-up work one by one in the order of first come, first served. HBO only sent a three-person team to Cannes to take charge. Publicity, now Anson's assistant has also been rented out to help maintain order on site.
In the end, it evolved into this scene -
Taking numbers one by one is like rushing to buy limited edition sneakers, and the number of people taking numbers continues to increase.
For the crew, such a battle was completely unexpected; but for Anson, he had experienced the Spring Festival transportation. He once stayed up all night to buy tickets at the train station, and he also got up in the early morning to grab tickets. , the scale in front of you is just a sprinkle of water.
So, Anson came out to help put things in order, hoping to get on the right track as soon as possible——
In this way, the follow-up work can be smoothed and completed efficiently.
"Sorry, the situation is a bit complicated now."
"You can choose to interview today. The follow-up roundtable interviews will be in groups of ten people, each group will last twenty minutes. If you are not satisfied, you can make an appointment for tomorrow. We still have Not sure about tomorrow’s itinerary, but it should be easier than today.”
Emmanuel is a little dizzy—
Mainly because of the handsome guy.
Anson's smile was completely blooming when he was so close, making people unable to take their eyes away. His approachable and sunny appearance instantly hit the heart. The distance was even closer than yesterday.
Emmanuel took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. She was not a sixteen-year-old girl, "Okay, no problem."
What kind of nonsense is this? It has no beginning or end?
“I mean, it’s okay, today or tomorrow, I don’t mind.”
“Sorry, my head is a little hot.”
Emmanuel still looks for Back to reason.
Anson shook his head slightly, "It's normal. I've never seen such a battle. There are so many people, right?"
Emmanuel couldn't help but think of Anson's reaction on the red carpet, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.
Anson asked politely, "So, how was the movie?"
Emmanuel was immediately stuck:...
What to do, should she tell Anson? , she is a photojournalist and was busy on the red carpet yesterday, so she didn’t have time to watch the movie?
Anson, do you remember the man who was almost squashed on the red carpet yesterday?
