There will also be a screening of a main competition film in the afternoon: Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Umi Street Diary".

From a public perspective, Cheng Yu'an, as the chairman of the jury, of course wants to watch it; from a personal perspective, he personally likes Hirokazu Kore-eda, and Tudou (Japan) has been launched, so he has to go and support the Japanese side.

So he came to the red carpet for the premiere of "The Street Diary". Coincidentally, Sophie Marceau also came to watch the film.

The two simply walked hand in hand on the red carpet of "Haijie Diary".

This year is Kore-eda Hirokazu's fourth time competing for the Palme d'Or. "Umi Street Diary" has attracted great attention from the outside world from the beginning.

Two years ago, Kore-eda Hirokazu's "Like Father, Like Son" won the Jury Prize here. To some extent, it has been recognized by Cannes.

It doesn't matter whether "Sea Street Diary" can eventually be associated with Cannes. Competing in Cannes and consolidating its international status is the key. Of course, it's not possible that this time it can help promote an actor award, because the world still has

I remember the moment when 14-year-old Yuya Yanagaku was promoted to the best actor throne by Kore-eda Hirokazu's "Nobody Knows".

Everyone is looking forward to whether Hirokazu Kore-eda can create another miracle this year.

The movie theater can only accommodate 300 people, but at least 1,000 people were queuing outside.

Includes audiences and licensed media.

This shows the popularity of "Haijie Diary".

Damn it!

Neither Cheng Yuan nor Sophie Marceau can speak Japanese, so the few words Cheng Yuan knows cannot be spoken here.

speak French?

Neither the director of "Haijie Diary" nor the four sisters speak French.

English?

Are you sure you understand Li's English?

Adele frowned after hearing this.

But there is no other way but to communicate in English.

Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau could only understand Kore-eda Hirokazu's partial meaning even though they had to guess.

Hirokazu Kore-eda is a frequent visitor to international film festivals. He has worked hard to correct his English accent, and he also slowed down a lot when speaking so that Cheng Yuan and Sophie Marceau could understand.

After a few exchanges on the red carpet, Cheng Yuan and Sophie Marceau entered the screening room.

Cheng Yuan switched to the French channel to communicate with Sophie and asked her what she thought of the "Story of Stories" screened earlier.

Sophie Marceau said she liked this movie very much: "The color and the portrayal of women moved me very much. Although it did not surpass Pasolini, it was excellent enough. I still think about the director who makes this kind of film.

Too little, we should encourage him."

Even Sophie Marceau is finding it difficult to get leading female roles now.

In the past two years, as the trend of feminism has spread throughout the West, more and more practitioners in the film industry have begun to speak out for women.

But regardless of whether it’s China or the West, people in the film industry generally have a low level of education and can easily be taken advantage of.

Originally it was all business, but she believed it even after shouting.

I won’t mention Miss Watson and Aunt Mei here.

It is normal for Sophie Marceau to view "Story of Stories" this way.

Cheng Yu'an nodded to agree with Sophie Marceau: "The movie is indeed a good movie." Cheng Yu'an was sure of this.

Before the official screening of the film, Kore-eda emphatically thanked the two judges Cheng Yuan and Sophie Marceau for their presence.

The movie started to show, and the customs of Kamakura and the lives of the four sisters were slowly narrated by Hirokazu Kore-eda.

Hirokazu Kore-eda is a director in the international film industry with very stable output and quality.

The ones with high quality are not as good as him; the ones with many pictures are not as good as him.

Li An also had a blockbuster "Hulk", but Hirokazu Eda's performance was very stable.

It is precisely because of Kore-eda Hirokazu's stable performance of high quality and quantity that he rarely wins the two highest honors of "Best Film" and "Best Director" at authoritative film festivals outside Asia.

The same is true for "Umi Street Diary". Of course it is very good-looking. It is Hirokazu Kore-eda after all, but the shortcomings are also here.

The whole film is too Kore-eda Hirokazu, Cheng Yu'an hopes to see Kore-eda's breakthrough.

If a newcomer could achieve such a degree of completion, Cheng Yu'an would definitely praise him, but he is Hirokazu Kore-eda, who has already become famous, and the requirements for him cannot be so low.

Cheng Yuan tilted her head and said to Sophie Marceau: "What a pity."

Sophie Marceau also understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and replied softly: "The acting skills of the four actors are not surprising."

This may be due to Hirokazu Kore-eda's stubbornness. He wanted to photograph the ordinary lives of ordinary people.

He has always loved the three elements of "family", "love" and "forgiveness".

Unlike Park Chan-wook, he is more stereotyped and likes to photograph extreme or marginal characters.

This is probably the reason why Park Chan-wook's international reputation is greater than that of Kore-eda Hirokazu.

After watching the movie, Cheng Yu'an and Sophie Marceau looked at each other, saw the answer in each other's eyes, smiled and nodded to each other.

Shaking hands with the crew and creators one by one, both of them said: "It's a very good movie." "I hope you can gain something from the film festival."

When it came to Ayase Haruka, Cheng Yuan rarely expressed his love for her: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

Cheng Yu'an rarely takes the initiative to show favor to foreign actors, but today he has a favorable eye for Ayase Haruka.

Ayase Haruka was also very happy after hearing this, although she only regarded Cheng Yuan's words as polite words: "Thank you, Director Cheng, I applied for "Rogue 2" last year, but unfortunately, I was not selected."

Cheng Yu'an smiled awkwardly: "My company has already set up shop in Japan. If I have a film, I will definitely contact you. So will you." Cheng Yu'an did not neglect the other three actors either.

After saying the polite words, Cheng Yu'an left the theater.

I have watched the two films in the main competition today. They are both good films, but they are still far away from the award-winning film in Cheng Yuan's heart. Neither of today's two films could surprise him.

After leaving the scene of "Sea Street Diary", it was almost dark in the small town of Cannes.

Cheng Yuan enjoys this high-intensity work of watching movies.

After getting some air outside, Cheng Yu'an went for some excitement.

Went to the Buñuel Hall to watch horror films in the classic screening section.

Horror film master Julien Duvivier's "Fear".

This is a movie that was released 60 years ago, but now it seems that many people are still following the same old path.

Duvivier is as dark as ever, but what he shows in the film is his complete disappointment with post-war France at that time!

No wonder the film was not popular in France at the time.

Not many people in Buñuel Hall watched this old film, but Cheng Yuan watched it with gusto.

After it's over, I'm still wondering if I should feel nostalgic and play the whole horror movie.

Back at the hotel, I held today's summary meeting with other judges. It was only the first day, and everyone's opinions were quite conservative. They just said they would look at it later.

Cheng Yuan returned to the hotel room exhausted.

As soon as he came back, he heard his assistant reporting to him the latest situation in Cannes: "Chief Giacomo won the 'Golden Carriage' Lifetime Achievement Award at the Directors' Fortnight."

"It's a good thing. The section chief won the Director's Lifetime Achievement Award when he was less than 50 years old. He should be the youngest winner of the Golden Horse Award."

Assistant Xiao Qi said: "No, Naomi Kawase is the one. She won this award at the age of 10."

Naomi Kawase is really one of the rare talented female directors, and her resume is a wonderful book to write about.

Winning the Cannes Director Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 40, this age record is probably very difficult to break.

"I don't know if I can win this award at the age of 40."

The assistant smiled and said, "Do you really want it when the time comes?"

"I don't want it! Who am I to curse when someone gives me a lifetime achievement award at the age of 40?"
Chapter completed!
