Soon it was the premiere of "The Embalmer" directed by Lin Junxiu. During this period, Lin Junxiu attended many filmmakers' parties, which allowed Lin Junxiu to temporarily build a lot of connections.

The premiere of "The Embalmer" was star-studded. Since most of the stars gathered at the premiere of "The Embalmer", the media reporters also arrived.

As early as before the premiere, Lin Junxiu kept his attitude very low when he was interviewed by the media, saying that "The Embalmer" is more of a film that conforms to the market's aesthetics, rather than focusing on the authorial expression of the director. Then

Lin Junxiu praised other movies and directors on various occasions, making the media unable to find any place to criticize this movie.

The opening of "The Encoffiant" shows a Japanese ritual before the deceased is buried. This ritual is still very mysterious and ritualistic for Japanese overseas countries, especially European countries. And when sorting the remains of the deceased,

Lin Junxiu immediately laid a foreshadowing. Many reporters and film critics frowned slightly after watching it. This kind of foreshadowing at the beginning is really very Hollywood.

Then the movie quickly turned to the normal opening plot of the story, and Lin Junxiu did not say anything here. He quickly explained the image of the main characters and their relationship, and also explained why the male protagonist became an embalmer.

The reason is also buried in another hidden thread of the story, which is the relationship between the male protagonist and his father. The dramatic conflict at the beginning of the story is mainly the process of the male protagonist as an artist having to choose to compromise in the face of reality. This kind of mentality

It is no stranger to many people. The so-called ideal is full but the reality is skinny, which is what it means. And this situation happens almost every moment on the earth, so the confusion and confusion of the male protagonist make

Most viewers have experienced it.

Soon, the male protagonist's status as an embalmer became known to everyone around him, especially his wife. The wife's incomprehension of the job and the male protagonist's desire to maintain the integrity of the family became the main drama of the story.

During this period, Lin Junxiu asked the male protagonist to show several funerals, including tears and smiles, as well as others’ ridicule and understanding of the male protagonist’s work. These originally trivial life details were refined by the director into several scenes

After the conflict of the play, it becomes very compact, and at the same time, it also makes the image of the undertaker represented by the male protagonist more and more full.

In particular, the death of Grandma Wenquan completes the bright line of the movie, that is, the heroine finally identifies with the male protagonist, and the hero's family does not collapse. And the death of Grandma Wenquan also makes people see the incompleteness of the world, such as the grandma's son in her

After her death, she chose to sell the hot spring bathhouse. You must know that grandma's idea was to keep the bathhouse. At the same time, there was also a vague relationship between the crematorium operator and the hot spring grandma. Before she had time to express it, there was no chance. When the hot spring grandma finally

When she was cremated in the company of the two people who loved her most, this allowed people to see the warmth of the director. After all, life is not easy anymore, so why bother to embarrass the audience in the movie?

According to the Hollywood movie model, "The Embalmer" should start and end here, allowing the hero and heroine to sublimate the theme a little before entering the subtitles. However, the director here let the hero receive the news of his father's death, which is the real climax of the story.

It starts here. Both the boss and the assistant of the funeral home showed their care for the male protagonist at this moment.

And when the male protagonist stood in front of his father, who he originally thought had no emotions, and saw that his father was still treated roughly by others after his death, he became angry. Although he didn't know whether this was the anger of being a son of man or being a coffin.

The teacher was angry, but this was no longer necessary. In the end, when the male protagonist performed the burial ceremony for his father, the pebbles falling from his father's hands made people understand that the father and son finally reconciled.

After the movie ended, everyone stood up and applauded Lin Junxiu and other crew members. Film critics admitted that this may not be a very artistic movie, but it is a very story-telling movie. Movies are dream-making machines that give human beings full of beauty.

Dreamland. As for art and business, they are all products incidental to this dreamland. If a movie does not even make the audience want to watch it, then the movie will have no existence value.

Film critics know that, driven by several trends in film art, some film directors have completely gone to extremes. This type of art film is not about aesthetics but about ugliness. As for the visual language or depth of thought displayed in them, it is estimated that only the director himself can

Let me be clear? This kind of art film is not only not qualified to enter art theaters or be made into DVDs, but the final result is to be picked up by a museum and become a collection of this museum.

As for whether this represents art's recognition of this director? Many people know that, but that is not necessarily the case. Because museums are also under operational pressure, their purpose of purchasing films by certain art directors is to bet on whether the director will be able to survive after his death.

Appreciation. After all, there is a saying in the art circle that a dead artist is a good artist.

After Lin Junxiu sent the audience and film critics away, he stretched out. After returning to the hotel, Lin Junxiu fell into a deep sleep. Although he did not have any expectations for this film festival, in order to sell the film, Lin Junxiu

Junxiu is also very tired. Now that the movie has been released, let's see what the reputation is like in tomorrow's newspaper. These reputations will affect the selection results of "The Embalmer" in the main competition and off-site awards, and then affect the movie.

The selling price. However, these are things that will only happen tomorrow. Lin Junxiu decided not to think about these things at least tonight. He just wants to have a good sleep now.

Maybe he was a little busy these days. It was almost noon when Lin Junxiu woke up the next day. Fortunately, the hotel service was still in place. At Lin Junxiu's request, some simple food was delivered. Lin Junxiu was eating while eating.

Counting breakfast, I looked at the newspapers and program catalogs collected by my assistant. All major film festivals have catalogs, but the interesting thing is that these catalogs usually have nothing to do with the organizing committee of the film festival, or the judges of the film festival.

It doesn’t matter if they are a group, most of them are temporarily organized by film critics and local newspapers.

Why can the International Federation of Film Critics threaten the organizing committee and jury of the film festival? That is that they can influence this program and then use the program to disgust the film festival. Although the program has no influence on the final awards of the film festival

Because of the relationship, there may even be cases where the jury deliberately goes against the show catalog to make certain movies "overwhelmingly popular". But most audiences don't know this, so they think the show catalog is authoritative, which then affects everyone's view of certain movies.

The perception.

During the Cannes Film Festival, most major European newspapers will increase their investment in film review columns. Without such obvious popularity, these newspapers would not be able to survive and grow bigger and bigger. Lin Junxiu slightly swept

Check it out. The elite-oriented newspapers did not rate "The Embalmer" highly. But it was just a low opinion. There were not many film critics who just started to criticize. After all, "The Embalmer" has already achieved this in terms of film narrative.

In the extreme, if you really want to find fault, you would be nitpicking. Therefore, most elite film critics focus their fire on Junxiu Lin for regressing and choosing to compromise in his artistic pursuits.

After reading these comments, Lin Junxiu just shrugged. It is good to pursue art, but movies cannot be sold. When Europeans pursue art, the movies they make are simply unwatchable. The scale of some movies is simply better than that of Japan and the United States.

The scale of some of the films is exaggerated. Not only is the scale large, but Junxiu Lin is also shocked by the European directors' ferocity in challenging the audience's values.

When filming "A Pear Blossom Over Begonia", in order to avoid certain controversies, the director adjusted the age of the heroine, but even so, some viewers still scolded the director for being autistic. Lin Junxiu said silently, "Wait until you finish watching"

With "Vooree", you know that the director of "A Pear Blossom Presses Begonia" is nothing. And "Sebastiane", if you say what kind of film it is, Lin Junxiu will believe it. But if you say it is an art film, Lin Junxiu will

It really means that I can’t appreciate it.

As for some newspapers that are more citizen-oriented, they have high praise for "The Encoffiant". Most of them use keywords such as "warmth", "family", "growth" and other keywords. It seems that "The Encoffiant" is still very popular among ordinary people.

I like it, so the box office of this movie should not be much different. As for the program, Lin Junxiu threw it aside as soon as he saw the outrageously low score.

After reading these movie reviews, Lin Junxiu met Harvey again in the hotel. Lin Junxiu wondered if he had the potential to attract fat people. Why did he meet Harvey every time he came to Cannes? Although he thought about most Johnny's idols

In that way, Lin Junxiu has also appeared on rankings such as "The Most Favorite Male Stars by Gays", but Lin Junxiu feels that he does not have the characteristics to attract the Bear Clan. According to Watanabe Naomi, people like Lin Junxiu are the most popular among the Bear Clan.

The least popular one. The Bear Clan loves real men who are hairy and muscular. Lin Junxiu cannot deny what Naomi Watanabe said. After all, he has no plan to attract this tribe.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't expect that we would meet this time." Harvey greeted Lin Junxiu warmly when he saw him.

"Mr. Weinstein, I really didn't expect that we would meet again. But let's not talk about the movie, because the North American rights of this movie have been sold to Sony Classics." Lin Junxiu said, "So this time we can only

I express my regret again.”

"That's really a pity." Harvey said, "It seems we have to wait until next time. I'm still looking forward to it."

After chatting with Harvey, Lin Junxiu received a call from the organizing committee, saying that because "The Embalmer" was so popular, he hoped to have an additional screening. Although there is no box office revenue from screening at the film festival, it does not mean that the organization

The committee can play it at will. Usually the production company will still sign an agreement with the organizing committee to indicate how many screenings it can show. But if it encounters a particularly popular movie, the organizing committee can also ask the production company to add screenings. Lin Junxiu

Today, in some theaters showing "The Embalmer", we found that many viewers were holding up signs, hoping to get a movie ticket.

The popular scenes of "The Embalmer" at the Cannes Film Festival were naturally filmed by Lin Junxiu's entourage, and then sent back to Japan as news. After all, "The Embalmer" has not yet been released in Japan, so it was just right to use these news to create some buzz.

As the Cannes Film Festival slowly comes to an end, the selection activities of AKB48 are also coming to an end. Everyone knows that Team 4 will be established at this press conference. Now AKB48 already has four teams, which can be regarded as an entertainment
Chapter completed!
