After looking through the fax in his hand, Simon calls Amy to talk about his opinions and asks about the casting progress of Batman.

Speaking of all, Simon didn't have much interest in the Cannes Film Festival. He didn't plan to see the film as he did when he was in Sundance. Instead, he planned to spend the next two weeks carefully sorting out his ideas about the Batman script.

Although the superhero film is planned to start shooting next year, the time is not so abundant.

In the next half year, in addition to the script, Simon has to solve the problem of Bruce Wayne's various high-tech props in the film, such as the Batmobile. These are cars that can really run on the road, not just models. Half a year from design to assembly may not be enough. In addition, many of the special effects planned to be used in the film also take a lot of time to prepare.

In the next few days, Simon basically stayed at the top of the mountain mansion in lecane district to conceive the script, and kept a continuous relationship with the United States from time to time. It was Janet and Jennifer who ran all over Cannes. Janet really made friends with Natasha Kinski. Although they didn't stay overnight like that night, Natasha Kinski came back to have lunch with Janet again on Saturday noon, but this woman's attitude towards Simon has been lukewarm.

On the other hand, various activities of Cannes Film Festival were carried out in full swing after the opening ceremony. Of course, it is mainly the screening of various types of films. In addition to the official competition and non competition units of the festival, there are many movie shows arranged by film companies that promote films at their own expense in cinemas, beaches, auditoriums, etc. all over the city, with hundreds of shows per day, which can be called a real film festival.

However, the Official Film Festival is undoubtedly the most media attention group.

The organizers also have a clear rhythm in the arrangement of the screening times of each competition unit, which is usually arranged according to the film reputation or fame, so as to make the 12 day Film Festival less dull. It is for this reason that vulgar novel is arranged on Sunday, the first weekend of the film festival. A few days before "vulgar novel", the media discussion was triggered by kiyerslovsky's "short killing film" and the British production company's film "Patty Hurst" based on real events.

Kiyerslovsky, the Polish director, did not reach the peak of his later "red, blue and white Trilogy" at this time, and "short killing film" can be regarded as his famous work. Naturally, the media all over the world praised the film, and some even predicted that "short film of killing" would be the most powerful competitor of this year's golden palm.

In addition, "Patty Hurst" is adapted from a kidnapping that caused a sensation in the world in the 1970s.

Patty hurst, the daughter of the Hurst family of American media family, was kidnapped by a mob. After a series of cruel insults, abuse and brainwashing, she accidentally joined the mob organization and took part in several subsequent bank robberies.

As a result, Patty Hurst became the most typical patient of Stockholm syndrome.

After the arrest, the Hurst family used a lot of resources, contacts and even the means of presidential amnesty to successfully get out of the young lady who was sentenced to 35 years.

Compared with the one-sided praise of short film of murder, the media ridiculed Patty hurst, obviously because of the influence of the Hurst family. Although the producer chose this very sensitive subject, the treatment of the whole story was still hidden. For example, when the mob trained the members of the organization, even other female members were naked With her body, Patty hurst, a hostage, was well dressed.

"According to the description of this film, I only see the thugs' extreme respect for the Hurst family. According to this logic, Miss Hurst should be released immediately, not brainwashed into one of them," wrote the film critic of Le Figaro in France in a sarcastic tone

In the 1980s, Cannes did not have an official magazine for rating each unit film, which started in 1997. However, the French media still organized a five point system, and Patty Hurst got the lowest score of 1.3 without any doubt. Compared with the score of kiyerslovsky's "short killing film", the score was as high as 4.6.

So it goes on until Sunday, May 15.

The red carpet Premiere of vulgar novel is scheduled for 9 a.m.

Although the quality of the film is still unknown, as Simon's second film after "Lola Run", which created more than 400 million US dollars at the global box office, "vulgar novel" is undoubtedly the most expected film of the festival.

Before eight o'clock, there was a lot of excitement outside the movie palace. The media reporters who attended the premiere were no less than the opening ceremony of the film festival. Many fans who failed to get the invitation openly held high prices to buy the film, expecting to get a film ticket before the opening ceremony.

In addition to the crew of vulgar novel, most of the judges of the main competition unit and many Hollywood stars who came to Cannes this time also confirmed that they would attend.

Seeing this kind of grand occasion, Simon and others don't have too much pressure, while Mike medova, President of Orion pictures, is very nervous.Up to now, Orion has released six films this year. Although they were all in the off-season before, only the colorful rattlesnake starring Robert Duval and Sean pan was a relatively successful one, and the other five failed.

These six films have occupied less than half of Orion's total release plan this year. It can be imagined that if there are no other blockbusters this year, Orion is likely to lose money again, or even encounter a more serious crisis than that two years ago.

You know, it's different now than it was two years ago.

After last year's stock market crash, the hot money pouring into the entertainment industry is like a spring on the verge of drying up. Even the seven major film companies are beginning to face a crisis. It is said that Coca Cola has been negotiating with Sony privately to sell its Columbia film shares. The business situation of universal, which had a good performance in the past two years, is also going from bad to worse, and we only look forward to the future "Back to the future" sequel can save the situation.

In this case, once in a crisis, Orion is definitely hard to turn over like it did two years ago.

"Vulgar novel" is exactly a film that has the most expectation to support Orion's performance this year. However, compared with those commercial films that are suitable for young and old people, "vulgar novel" is a little too far. Due to Simon's strength, Orion can't intervene in this project according to his own wishes.

The film will be released on June 3. There is no doubt that the result of Cannes is crucial for vulgar novel.

Although he has got some information from the judges he met, Mike medova has been very busy in recent days. Just last night, he held a press conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cannes, giving a reception to the major stream media people who participated in the film festival in advance, so that these reporters can write even if they are not satisfied with the film I'm sorry.

Compared with the original production cost of 8 million US dollars for vulgar novel, Orion film has unconsciously invested 5 million US dollars for the publicity and public relations of the film. Next, if the film has a good reputation, it will continue to invest, which will basically be equal to the production cost of the film.

In this intense uneasiness, Mike medova still did not relax to greet the guests who attended the premiere ceremony. Until nearly nine o'clock, he came to Simon and sat down.

In any case, what should be done has already been done, and then it depends on the will of God.

In the packed rubiel hall, the lights were dim and the screen soon lit up.

After the titles of Orion pictures and Denise pictures, the first thing to appear is the original interpretation of the term "vulgar novel". Then, the picture turns, and a team of robbers played by Sean pan and Madonna appear in the coffee shop.

In the hall, everyone was stunned to see these two people appear.

Many senior media people still clearly remember the disaster caused by Madonna's successive roles in several films in the past two years. Therefore, when they saw Madonna's figure, the first thought in many people's hearts was to fail.

Although in the previous publicity, many people have learned that Madonna and Sean pan will guest star in the film, most people didn't expect that Simon westero would put them at the beginning of the film.

At this time, listening to the two people chattering about the topic of robbery, although some people found that Madonna's performance does not seem so bad, but such a plot is still puzzling. In this way, it was not until the two people who were just chatting with each other suddenly broke out, took out their guns and began to rob that part of the audience realized something different.

Then, the plot stops abruptly.

After the opening of the subtitle, the screen has turned to John Travolta and Samuel Jackson as Vincent and Jules.

Listening to them, they are still talking about the hamburger issue like two office workers. Just before the outbreak of Madonna and Sean pan, some interested audience unconsciously get bored again. Until they arrive at the residence of several gangsters, and then suddenly pull out a gun to kill them.

The screen switches again and comes to Butch, the boxer played by Robert De Niro.

It's still a confusing chatter. After listening to the boss's instructions, Butch meets Vincent for the first time, which also foreshadows the later plot.

The narration also turns back to Vincent again. After receiving the boss's advice, Vincent goes to Mia's residence. At Mia's insistence, they come to the bunny restaurant. Until this time, the screening of the film was only half an hour.

Seeing cos, the golden age star in the restaurant, many audiences show a knowing smile on their faces.

What's more, the direct and sharp critics suddenly find that the film's garrulous style is still unconsciously substituting themselves into the plot of the film. With the classic swing dance of Vincent and Mia, some people even have a certain feeling that they can't stop, and they really want to know what will happen next.

However, unlike any film mode in the past, except for a few people who have seen the film, no one on the scene can guess the next plot of the film.After Vincent and Mia's dinner, everyone basically thinks that it must be a natural cheating and cheating, but the plot has evolved into a ridiculous farce again. Mia mistakenly took Vincent's drugs and was unconscious. The scene of adrenaline inevitably left a deep impression on the audience.

In the chilling joke about ketchup, their date came to an end.

The story of gold watch begins.

When Christopher Walken appeared on the screen to talk about the golden watch's past, many fans of Deer Hunter couldn't help laughing at Simon's bad taste, especially the appearance of Butch played by Robert De Niro, which even reminded the hall of laughter.

You know, in deer hunter, Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro happen to play two Vietnam war prisoners. This plot is completely connected with deer hunter. Christopher Walken survived from the prison camp and then brought back the gold watch that Butch's father had worked so hard to save.

Obviously, Robert De Niro played his own father.

Butch started to flee after murdering his opponent in the ring. The audience who was just immersed in deer hunter was immediately amazed by veralobos who appeared on the big screen.

In the taxi, Robert De Niro seems to be able to do the opposite play in just a few minutes. However, the actress he doesn't know in a certain circle, with fluffy hair, white face, cat like lazy eyes, some dangerous fiery red lips, and the strange accent that makes everyone off guard, unconsciously attracts all the audience's attention be careful.

Some critics even subconsciously have an idea that they are not willing to admit. The actress, who has no impression at all, has suppressed Robert De Niro, who has already won two Oscars.

Maybe Butch doesn't have much room for performance, but the beauty, strangeness and danger of esmerala's every move are hard to forget at a glance.

Even after the end of the plot, many people are still savoring all the details in the shot and looking forward to the beautiful taxi driver's reappearance in the following plot.

This kind of expectation even affects the next plot of the film.

It was not until Butch killed Vincent and met the gang boss that both were kidnapped and brutally abused that the audience regained their attention from the deep sound they had just left and turned their attention to the plot of the film again.
