Everyone knows that the Coen brothers have a strong relationship with the Cannes Film Festival. In 1991, they attended Cannes for the first time with "Barton Funk", and they successfully won the Palme d'Or and the Best Director Award; He won two Best Director Awards again. This is their eighth entry in the main competition at Cannes.

Therefore, everyone has foreseen in advance that the premiere is bound to be very lively, and important people from all walks of life will be present on time, but when the red carpet really kicks off, the liveliness and madness of the scene is far beyond Unexpectedly, from the audience to the reporters to the guests, the festival has ushered in the highest peak since the opening of the film festival.

Emily-chen felt like she was going crazy.

As a blogger of a private movie blog, she has more than 50,000 followers on Twitter and Instagram, and after writing movie reviews for some professional movie websites, she gradually made a name for herself in the field of movie reviews. The Chinese identity living in New York has shown a unique viewing angle, which has really won a lot of recognition.

This is the third time she has been invited to the Cannes Film Festival.

Literally speaking, "invited" sounds very noble, but in fact, there are three thousand bloggers, broadcasters, online film critics, etc. who have received invitations like her, or even more. It is far less grand and special than imagined. Of course, as one in three thousand, this is already a supreme honor, and she will not deny it.

Two times before, Emily crossed the river by feeling the stones, like a headless fly, only relying on chicken blood for support, but after a whole day, after five and six movies were bombarded in turn, she would soon fall into trouble and In fatigue, it is often unsustainable, and this situation needs to continue for a full twelve days.

This year, after gaining experience and lessons, she finally figured out her own strategies and methods.

The main audience of the Cannes Film Festival is journalists, and more than 4,000 members of the media make up the audience. But that doesn't mean easy.

Even the Lumiere Hall of the main competition film can only accommodate 2,000 spectators, some of which are allocated to ordinary audiences, some to special guests, and the final allocation to media members may only be 1,000, or even less. It also meant that even members of the media had to line up.

Once the premiere at Lumiere Hall was missed, reporters had to wait for the re-screening in other smaller theaters. At this time, a screening hall may only accommodate 200 or 300 people, and the difficulty of queuing increases rather than decreases; sometimes it is even more difficult to re-screen in a screening hall with a capacity of less than 100 people. .

So, queuing becomes very important.

But imagine if reporters from "Variety" or "Cinema Manual" didn't make it to the line? So much so that it missed the premiere of a potential Palme d'Or winner? Or is it an unknown little blogger who has become the first person in the entire team? So this situation is a bit embarrassing for Cannes.

Correspondingly, Cannes has launched a press card system. Every reporter who arrives in Cannes will receive a corresponding certificate, displayed in different colors, white, pink plus a yellow dot, pink, blue, yellow, a total of five levels, from high to low, stipulated Priority entry for every journalist.

White is the only document with different queues. You can enter and exit at any time in any session, and complete the collection work as soon as possible. Every year, the white certificates of the Cannes Film Festival are limited, and only a handful of media can get them, which can be called the sword of Shangfang.

As for documents of other colors, all of them need to be queued, but the priority order is different, and the time-consuming and difficulty of queuing are naturally different.

Relatively speaking, blue and yellow have to line up for almost every show. They may arrive at the scene an hour or even two hours in advance to line up, and they may not even be able to enter the venue smoothly in the end; while pink certificates generally only need to be in advance. You can queue for half an hour, and you can definitely enter the venue some of the time.

In a top film festival such as Cannes, screenings are arranged from morning to night throughout the day. Those reporters who need to queue up may watch a maximum of two films in one day; while those reporters who do not need to queue up, There are five to six movies to watch, and the ability to make time for roundtable interviews as well as personal interviews and even private parties.

Of course, there is a difference between the senior reporters of "Cinebook" and the self-media who have just entered the industry, and the Cannes Film Festival's such a system is also understandable.

Before each reporter arrives in Cannes, they cannot know the color of their documents. Only after they complete the registration at the reporting office can they reveal the answer.

Last year and the year before, Emily's ID was yellow; this year, her ID was upgraded to pink.

It was an improvement, and it made her third Cannes tour full and rich.

She can consciously choose the works she is interested in, arrange her viewing time around the works of the main competition unit, and find an effective sleep time during the busy process - otherwise, the whole day may only be If you can sleep for two hours, no matter how good the work is, you may fall asleep while sitting in the movie theater.

Over the past six days, Emily has really started to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival. On the craziest day, I watched seven movies, and on the laziest day, I watched three movies; and after watching a movie, I had to write a manuscript, a brief sent on Twitter, and a finished manuscript made by the magazine.

Since arriving in Cannes, I haven't even had time to eat. Either you are watching a movie, you are on your way to the screening room, or you just finished watching a movie and huddled in a corner to write a manuscript. Not to mention eating, even the time to complain is extremely precious.

Pain and happiness.

Today is the premiere of "Drunken Country Ballads". Without a doubt, this is the most popular one. It's not that the odds of winning the award are particularly high, or that the publicity is particularly strong, but that the starring cast lineup is highly anticipated, and the combination of Renly Hall and Justin Timberlake is enough to make all audiences boil, plus The Coen brothers, the popularity has directly broken through the sky.

What's more, Renly, who just won the Oliver Award for Best Actor in a Musical, is definitely the center of conversation throughout Europe.

Leaving aside the quality of the film and word of mouth, just from an eye-catching point of view, this is the hottest work at this year's Cannes Film Festival. none of them.

Therefore, Emily arrived at the film palace scene early. Although she has a pink certificate, she can expect the frenzy on the scene. This should be the work that every reporter hopes to watch and report for the first time. The topic effect on Twitter and Facebook is absolutely unimaginable. .

When Emily arrived on the red carpet, she was completely stunned.

She was 70 minutes ahead of schedule, but the queue area dedicated to pink press cards was already full. At least three hundred journalists were like a centipede, winding for a long time; The queuing area for press cards was already full, and the mighty team had already surrounded the Film Palace for most of the time.

In the line of sight, there are huge crowds.

It's just the line of reporters lining up. Around the red carpet not far away, the bustling crowd formed a black mass, at least more than a thousand people, or even more. The boundless sea of ​​people could not make effective and accurate judgments, but felt a heat wave. The skin surface was almost scalded.

The madness of the premiere was expected, but not the magnitude of the madness. Emily suddenly realized that she seemed too young and too naive.

When "The Great Gatsby" debuted as the opening film, Emily thought it was the highest point of the entire Cannes Film Festival, because Leonardo DiCaprio officially attended, and because he made a special trip to There are countless big-name stars who come to join in. For the people who can't walk into the cinema to watch the works up close, the red carpet is their moment.

But for now, "The Great Gatsby" is nothing more than an appetizer. The real feast should be here, right now.

What now?

This was the only thought in Emily's mind. She was the first to keep up with the queue. After all, she wasn't a photojournalist, and it didn't make much sense to stay on the red carpet. Watching movies was her job. work; but looking at the long queue in front of her, she began to feel uncertain, and strongly doubted whether she could enter the venue smoothly today.

Even more exaggerated, this is just the beginning.

When the red carpet officially started, the reporter team could no longer see the tail, and disappeared at the corner on the east side of the film palace. Seriously exceeding the standard, Emily strongly doubts whether all the people holding pink press cards have been dispatched.

Turning her head and looking back, the reporters who were "late" were all in shock, and then Emily saw an uncle with a white press card arriving at the scene, his footsteps stopped beside the red carpet , looked at the long line, and exclaimed in French, "God, is this Toronto?"
