The films shortlisted for the main competition unit will naturally attract attention from all parties, especially the Matabrata International Film Festival, which has always been known as the Latin American and European film festival. The first time Asian films were shortlisted for the main competition unit, and they were also from the mysterious China.

So when the mix of three Asian faces and one European face appeared on the red carpet, it immediately attracted a crazy photo shoot from South American journalists who had never seen the world. The violent spotlight flashed so that Wang Dalun almost opened his eyes.

"Hey, there are also Chinese journalists." Wang Dalun was surprised to find several yellow people's faces in the crowd.

"It's either a Japanese or a Korean, it's not a Chinese journalist." Zhang Yuan whispered beside him.

Wang Dalun carefully observed that those people seemed to be different from Chinese people. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and muttered in a low voice: "How come there are no Chinese journalists?"

"There are few Chinese films participating in the Matabrata International Film Festival, so there are few domestic journalists interviewed. However, even if there are domestic journalists, they will not interview us."

"Why?" Wang Dalun said strangely, "If we win the award this time, it will be considered to be a glory for the country!"

"Bring glory to the country? Hum!" Zhang Yuan snorted coldly and ignored him.

It was Zhang Jian from the other side who gave him the answer: "We are an underground movie, and Lao Zhang is still in the banned period. Even if we win the Golden Tree Merchant Award this time, there will be no reports in China."

Wang Dalun understood, this is commonly known as ban! I felt quite disappointed when I thought about it. I finally got a chance to become famous, but it was useless.

Before being shortlisted for the main competition unit, although Zhang Yuan and Lao Ke were recommended everywhere, few people were interested in "East Palace and West Palace". Once shortlisted, the situation turned around and immediately, film merchants came to contact each other, not only South American publishers, but also many film merchants in North America and Europe. This made Zhang Yuan and Lao Ke very happy, and after the opening ceremony, they negotiated the price with people everywhere.

Wang Dalun and Zhang Jian started learning mode - going to watch movies everywhere. So movie tickets became the biggest expense of this trip.

But what made him depressed was that he could not understand almost any of the words in the movie. All Latin American movies were very fast to play the tongue. Except for the occasional European movies, there were some other French, German, Czech, etc., and of course, they were also indispensable for the same language and language as Latin American. Although all the English letters below were all available, they could only read a rough look at his English level and could not communicate at all.

In contrast, Zhang Jian read it with relish. After asking, he realized that this guy couldn't understand it or read it, just by looking at other people's photography skills.

On November 11, uh, there is no Double Eleven shopping festival yet, so it can only be called Singles' Day. The film "East Palace and West Palace" shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Matabrata International Film Festival has finally been released.

The only shortlisted Asian film, the mysterious China, gay themes, and the superposition of various elements. On the day of the premiere, the audience, media, and film merchants actually filled the theaters with more than 300 people.

Among the four, Wang Dalun has not watched a movie yet, so he is looking forward to it. When the lights dim and the screen lights up, he immediately calms down and watches the movie seriously.

The beginning of the article is as the background music of Kunqu opera "A Dream of the Garden" sounds, Alan wanders around the garden of Taobeile Mansion, and the narrator whom Sihan personally dubbed explains his identity as a comrade.

"You're just a fool!"

"Shut up! You said I can do anything, but you can't say I'm cheap, I'm not cheap!"

"You are sick!"

"I'm sick, my illness is that I love you."

Xiao Shi always loses his temper, he insults and repairs the other party at will. The feminine Alan "even if he abuses me thousands of times, I still treat him as his first love." In addition to defending his pure love, he never resists Xiao Shi, always obeys him, begging him to give him even a little love. Alan has a gentle personality and is obedient to him. His blind expression in love is like a woman, which is in sharp contrast to Xiao Shi's rough and strong style.

This was the first time Wang Dalun saw the image he created on the screen, and a sense of accomplishment arises naturally. Looking back on every bit of the filming, he was suddenly excited. It was him who created the short history, his twisted personality, and his surrender. He seemed to see not a picture, not a movie character, but a living person, a flesh-and-blood person created by himself.

That's right, this is my work!

At the end of the film, in the background music of Kunqu opera "A Dream of the Garden", Xiao Shi's face was full of confusion and his always-on-one back...

The picture is frozen, and rows of cast and crew are quickly released.

"Wow..." As the lights were on, warm applause burst into the theater.

The premiere was unprecedentedly successful. Director Zhang Yuan and starring Wang Dalun were naturally sought after by the media, but in the face of "da da da..." Spanish-style question like a machine gun shooting, the two could only look at each other and were at a loss. Fortunately, Lao Ke acted as a translator and answered several English and French questions.

The next morning, the four of them gathered in Zhang Yuan's room. Lao Ke went out early in the morning to buy a stack of English newspapers, and read the comments one by one in his weird Chinese accent:

"The film uses the tone of Chinese classical opera to make reality and dream naturally blend, making the whole film coherent and compact, and has a strong unity. The film begins after sunset, and ends with the sunrise on the morning of the second day, and the story takes place, develops, climaxes, and ends overnight. This arrangement seems to be deliberately pursuing the "three-in-one" of classical drama, but instead gives the film a pioneering color with an alternative form."

Lao Ke nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This is the column of the National News. They scored 8.5 points, which is considered high." As he said that, he turned to the next one, looked at it for a while, and restrained his smile and said: "Well, the column of the Chronicle is not very friendly."

"Niannian." As for the media, everything is always mixed. Zhang Yuan, who has heard enough praise, seems not to care much about negative comments.

"In many ways, "East Palace and West Palace" strives to add new elements to express homosexuality. The exploration of love phenomenon and show its pioneering nature, but the monologue narrative of Alan's excessive expression in the film gives people an unnatural feeling, and the insertion of the scenes of Chinese classical opera uses the night as the background of the story. These factors that add mysterious colors to the film also unconsciously convey a homosexuality to the audience. The life of lovers is a mysterious and strange message, which is probably something that the homosexual group does not want."

After listening to Lao Ke’s reading, Zhang Yuan immediately became dissatisfied and said, “Honesex. Love is mysterious and strange in China. To this day, homosexuals. Love is still a kind of disease in China, a kind of mental illness. I want to reflect this in the movie.”

"That's because foreigners don't understand China. I think this kind of comment is quite normal." Zhang Jian interrupted and comforted Zhang Yuan.

Lao Ke nodded, agreed, continued to read another report, and said, "Hey, this comment is quite interesting." As he said that, he began to read:

"We noticed that when the film sets the scene, it arranged a particularly interesting design: the place where the incident occurred - the structure of the police station. The house has doors and windows on all sides, and people can peek around the building from different angles. The policeman was peering at the footage inside the house while walking around, which reminded people of the design of Bentham's panoramic panoramic panoramic panoramic architecture mentioned by Foucault. Bentham was a British thinker. He designed a panoramic panoramic panoramic building, that is, a circular building, for prison reform. Bentham designed a panoramic panoramic building, that is, a circular building.

, The center is a watchtower tower. The watchtower has a circle of windows facing the circular building. In each small cell in the circular building, it will be monitored by the supervisors in the central watchtower, and the prisoners cannot see the people in the tower. Although the structure of the police station is different from Bentham's panoramic open-view building, it is the same in essence, that is, the imprisoned person feels that surveillance is everywhere and power is unsure. The film uses the open-style police station to imply the control and lustfulness of power."

"Yeah, fortunately these are all comments from foreign media, otherwise the relevant departments would have to say that I slander the socialist system." Zhang Yuan shook his head and mocked himself.

After listening to Wang Dalun for a long time, most of the movie reviews that Lao Ke read were commenting on the movie itself, and some also said Alan, but they just didn't write a short story.

"Lao Ke, please take a look. Have you mentioned me?"

Lao Ke flipped through and flipped until the last one, and suddenly laughed, "This comment is very vivid."

"Hurry Niannian." Wang Dalun thought it was a comment on him, so he hurriedly urged him.

"This is a cat and mouse game. The question is, who is the cat? Who is the mouse?"

"Not?"

"It's gone."

"Just that's the case?"

"Just one sentence."

Damn it!

...

On November 19, the two-week Matabrata International Film Festival finally came to an end, and the closing ceremony and award ceremony were held at 7 p.m. local time.

The films sold well this time. Filmmakers from Argentina, Brazil and Canada have successively purchased the distribution rights of their own countries, which has almost recovered all the investments. In the future, the releases in Europe will be profitable. Lao Ke and Zhang Yuan were so happy that they were almost unhooked.

Because he was shortlisted for the main competition unit and might win the prize, Lao Ke specially arranged everyone's outfits when attending the closing ceremony - all black evening dresses, which were short and long at the back, and had a slit tuxedo. The four old men were of different heights, fat and thin. They were wearing each other and standing together, which made them look a unique landscape.

As usual, there was a red carpet for the closing ceremony. While waiting, Zhang Yuan and Lao Ke were talking, and Wang Dalun and Zhang Jian were very concerned about whether the thin-dressed female celebrities would catch a cold, and they all looked very carefully.

I didn't know any of them at first, but I have watched so many movies these days, and there are still familiar ones.

"Hey, this, this is the one with the point in it, the second female lead!"

"Why don't I look like it?"

"In the movie, they are wearing makeup without makeup, but now they are wearing makeup. You haven't seen that they have such big breasts and their figure, so surely."

"Is that true? I feel that it doesn't seem that big in the movie?" Zhang Jian stretched his neck and observed it carefully.

"Oh, you're still looking very carefully!"

"Okay, okay, it's almost our turn." Zhang Yuan came over and reminded him. A staff member had just come and said.

Perhaps the freshness has passed. Although the four people wear it today, they are not as popular as they were at the opening ceremony. Even the flashing spotlights are much less intense. It was a waste of time that Wang Dalun also bought a pair of sunglasses to wear.
Chapter completed!
