"Her" examines human emotions in a more extreme environment: When I fall in love with a disembodied AI assistant, can this relationship still be called love?
But "Her" is not perfect, especially in France, a market at the forefront of artistic films.
Film flaws are magnified by audiences and the media.
For example, "Her" only talks about love, but love itself is not the only emotion. The emotional level of the movie is not rich enough, the inner complexity of the characters is not prominent enough, and it is a little facial makeup. This is one point.
The movie is responsible for exploring, but not for answering. "Her" does not give an attitude or answer to this abnormal relationship, which is also a shortcoming in the eyes of some people.
But you can't ask a movie to tell all the truths in the world in two hours. This is unreasonable.
After the screening of "Her", it won warm cheers from all the guests and the audience.
Someone yelled the director's name: "Ann! Ann! Ann!"
Many fans of Zhang Yuanjun also came to the scene and chanted his name.
The three main creators took the stage and bowed.
They watched the audience leave in front of the screen, and the post-screening meeting with the creators was held outside the Cinema Palace.
"It's very good." The leaders of the Cannes Film Bureau also came today. After watching the show, they held the hands of the creators and praised, "Such a format and such innovation are eye-catching. Especially Yifei's performance, this This is the first time I’ve seen this kind of performance. I’ll steal the spotlight from you.” The last sentence was addressed to Zhang Yuanjun.
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "I can't compare to others."
The judges were not allowed to comment on the competition films before the awards ceremony, so the few judges present did not say anything, they just shook hands and nodded goodbye with the three of them.
Most of the audience and media also expressed their love for the film to the three people when they left the venue.
"Yifei, I didn't expect you to act in this way. It's so fun." Yang Mi pulled Liu Yifei and praised her when she left.
The two women were chatting. Liu Kaiwei and Zhang Yuanjun shook hands, and the other party praised: "It's really good. I like this movie very much."
"Thank you." Zhang Yuanjun has no problem with this brother. He has attended too many premieres and received too many similar compliments. To be honest, he has become a little desensitized.
Zhang Yuanjun didn't know that Liu Kaiwei prided himself on being an artist. He really liked "Her" after watching it, but he also felt that he could play such a role in such a film.
And he felt that Zhang Yuanjun's performance was not particularly good, not so good that he would be surprised.
Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Kaiwei were chatting about each other. They caught a glimpse of a male audience member wearing a hat and leaving, and they were puzzled: "This guy looks like the director of Kai Ge."
After most of the audience and media left, the three main creators left the theater and headed to the meeting site.
It can be seen that the media really likes the format of "Her", so many questions were given to the heroine Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei is very happy that she is so well-received by the Cannes media. Basically she accepts all comers and answers every question well.
She said without hesitation that she got the role of Cici because of Zhang Yuanjun's "recommendation". After all, she was too embarrassed to say she had made the decision.
It seems natural to recommend one's own wife to play the leading role, and the media will not dwell on nepotism.
Xu Anhua once again affirmed Liu Yifei: "It will be more open and relaxed if a real couple performs."
In fact, foreign media have no interest at all in whether Chinese-speaking filmmakers attend the red carpet or not. It is the domestic media that pays attention to this aspect:
"There are also many domestic celebrities on the red carpet this year. Many people say that if you don't have works, you should not go on the red carpet. What do you think about this issue, Yifei?"
Liu Yifei is very generous: "Actually, many artists are invited by brands and the film festival organizing committee, and they walk on the red carpet with dignity. Of course, it is best to bring their works."
In addition, many media also asked Director Xu Anhua about the emotional ownership shown in the film through "Her": "What impact does the director think technological progress will have on human emotions?"
"Will technological progress lead to unknown emotions? What role will film art play in this?"
Of course, it is easy for a professional director to deal with such a problem. After answering the question, Xu Anhua also expressed his concerns about film art in the context of technological progress: "People have richer entertainment methods. In the past, movies only needed to follow TV is competing for audiences, and in the future movies will have to compete with more entertainment products for audiences. This is a problem that filmmakers all over the world have to face."
After the premiere, the crew of "Her" really became busy.
In the past few days, the main creators had to answer three interviews a day, but now they have to answer at least six interviews a day.
"Reported by the Film Channel. On the 21st, the sixth day of the Cannes Film Festival. "Her", the only domestic film shortlisted for the main competition this year, held a grand premiere at the Cinema Palace. "Her" tells the story of an ordinary employee falling in love in the future world His own intelligent voice assistant, and thus fell into the story of personal emotional struggle. Director Xu Anhua expressed his concerns about the test of human emotions caused by technological progress at the press conference, as well as the troubles about the future development of the film. The post-screening meeting became a story for the crew, creators and media audiences. Exploring future symposiums.”
"Fox Factory Entertainment News. Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei came to Cannes with their new film. At the meeting after the premiere of "Her", Liu Yifei said frankly that she was able to star in the film thanks to her husband's care. When asked, many artists did not When it came to the issue of having to walk on the red carpet for their works, Liu Yifei deliberately spoke out for the artist community, saying that many people came to Cannes at the invitation of brands and the film festival organizing committee. For artists, walking on the red carpet is also a job and does not require Too much criticism, but in the end Liu Yifei still said that it is best to bring her work to the red carpet. Her first literary film was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes. Liu Yifei said she was surprised and very nervous."
Early the next morning, Liu Yifei was putting on makeup while flipping through the newly released venue catalog.
"Ah, found it, 2.0 points."
Zhang Yuanjun's voice came from the bathroom: "It's quite satisfactory, a very average score."
You must know that "Transcendence" scored a high score of 3.1 at the time.
Zhang Yuanjun came out of the bathroom to change clothes. Liu Yifei read the show program and translated it into Chinese and read it to Zhang Yuanjun: "The story is set in the future world, but except for a few FUIs, the movie does not create a sense of the future very well, and the theme of discussion remains. It’s an old-fashioned issue of emotional belonging, but it’s not deep enough or layered enough…” Liu Yifei specially selected the actor evaluation part: “Zhang’s performance in “Her” cannot be called outstanding, it is just his normal performance, which shows that he In the three years since I left Cannes, my acting skills have not improved. These film critics are so vicious," Liu Yifei said.
"Do you think these European film critics are easy to mess with?" Zhang Yuanjun put on his socks.
Liu Yifei continued: "On the contrary, Crystal's voice acting is a surprise. This film critic really knows how to speak."
Zhang Yuanjun:? ? ?
"The voice acting has eliminated the shortcomings of Crystal's lack of expressive body and expression in her previous performances. I have to say that Cici is a role that suits her very well."
"Hahahahahaha!"
"This film critic doesn't understand anything!" Liu Yifei threw the program notes away and refused to read, "Dubbing is a test of acting skills!"
"Let's go, we have a meeting today." Zhang Yuanjun urged. (End of chapter)
