Cannes.

Summer is receiving media interviews.

He is a very purposeful person. He knew that his goal was to win awards this time, so he actively promoted himself.

Although the Cannes Film Festival is known as one of the three major film festivals in Europe, the essence of the study is not much different from those pheasant awards. It has the same shady scenes and pork is also divided, which is not absolutely fair and just.

For example, at the 69th Cannes Film Festival, all the critics were optimistic about the movie "Tony Oldman", but the judges awarded the award to "Just the End of the World" that no one was optimistic about, just because its director was Xavier Dolan.

When Xavier Dolan was only nineteen years old, he won three awards for the Cannes Film Festival for "I Kill My Mom". In the next eight years, he won awards every time he participated in the exhibition and became the youngest judge in Cannes Film history.

The reason why he was so young was not only because he was indeed talented, but also because the Cannes Film Festival treated him as a direct line.

You should know that there are so many film festivals around the world, and there are film festivals held almost every day, with a large and influential film festivals. In addition to the three major film festivals in Europe, there are also Tokyo International Film Festival, South Korea Busan Film Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, Rotterdam Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, etc.

If a film festival wants to have an influence, it must attract more people's attention. If there are celebrities and famous directors attending the film festival, it will add luster to the film festival and attract more people's attention, and the influence will naturally increase.

Therefore, in order to enhance its influence and to ensure that the film festival has star directors, the Cannes Film Festival has done its best to cultivate its own children. Just like Wang Jiawei, he is the darling of Cannes. In addition to the Cannes Film Festival, he rarely participates in other film festivals.

Xavier Dolan was also trained by Cannes as his direct line, so even if his works are not good, Cannes will give him the award first.

In addition, the Cannes Film Festival also suffers from the red-eyed and white-headed and tempting to get angry. Back then, in order to get the great director Francis Coppola to attend the film festival, Jacob, chairman of the film festival's preparatory committee, performed all his skills and agreed to all his requests. The purpose was to give him one more master at the film festival (at that time, Coppola filmed the two plots of "The Godfather" and was the most popular director in Hollywood.)

Xia Tian himself is also a big director, so the probability of winning the award in Cannes is also very high. Last year, he was shortlisted for five awards. Although he was shortlisted for so many awards, it can be seen that Cannes takes good care of him.

However, Xia Tian hopes that he will no longer return empty-handed this year like last year. Therefore, he contacted several media to prepare for publicity and hype, so that his chances of winning are greater.

...

"Mr. Xia, what movie did you bring this time?" the host asked with concern.

"What I brought this year is a unique movie. I dare say it is very different from previous movies." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Oh, what's the difference?" The host's eyes lit up when he heard this and immediately asked.

Last year's movie "Eat Raw" in summer caused an uproar with its bold theme and explicit performance. Now the new work he brought is said to be "unique", which is very unusual.

"Let me say that, the movie I brought is very brain-burning, and I think there shouldn't be many people who can understand it." Xia Tian smiled.

"Oh?!Is it really that difficult to understand?" The host asked in confusion when he saw his comment.

"Not bad." Xia Tian nodded, "I'll make a bet with everyone. If anyone understands it, I can treat him to a meal."

"Really?!" the host asked immediately when he heard this.

Xia Tian is not only a world-renowned director, but also a world-class rich man. If you are lucky enough to have a meal with him, you can ask him a lot of things. His words may benefit you for life.

You know, Warren Buffett, the world's second richest man, holds a charity lunch auction every year, but sells it at a sky-high price of more than two million US dollars.

"Really, everyone can send the letter to my hotel." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, then said the name of his hotel.

The host wrote it carefully, "I hope I have a chance to win too. Mr. Xia, can you reveal a little answer to me?"

When Xia Tian heard this, he waved his hand with a smile, "You can't cheat. But I can tell you that the theme of the movie is related to everyone, you can't see or touch but you can feel it."

"Oh." The host nodded thoughtfully when he heard what he said.

...

After this interview was reported, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

A movie that is said to be super brain-burning and no one can understand it instantly ignited the competitive spirit of many people. They all want to see what movie summer brings.

In addition, if the interpretation is successful, and having dinner with summer has made many people excited. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to have a meal with the super rich.

...

On May 10, the Cannes Film Festival officially opened, and the summer's "Mulholland Road" also officially met with movie fans.

Because he is a world-class well-known director, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and amazed the world with "Raw Eat", this time his new work has attracted much attention.

In addition, the bet he made made it a mile long for the audience waiting to appreciate, which was hard to find.

However, after spending two and a half hours watching, most of the audience were confused. They really couldn't understand what Xia Tian was shooting, there was no story, no logic, and messy, just like a person's dream.

But if you say it is a bad movie, it doesn't look like it. Because the film is very particular in terms of cameras, lighting, sets, props, performances, etc., it is definitely not a shoddy work. In short, this is a movie that is difficult to describe as "bad" or "good".

"This movie is really difficult to understand. What exactly is it talking about?"

"It's so profound and unfathomable that I can't understand it after reading it once. You may only understand it after reading it a few more times."

"No wonder he dared to bet that no one could understand it. It turned out to be very difficult to understand!"

Whether it is a film critic or an ordinary audience, after watching "Mulholland Road", he couldn't help but sigh.

Because no one can understand it, this movie becomes more mysterious, resulting in more people wanting to watch this movie than before. Because people are competitive.

After being released for a week, no one can understand what the movie "Mulholland Road" can be said. Of course, some people try to interpret it, but they are all rejected by Xia Tian. In this way, the more confused people are, the more curious they become, which makes the movie become more and more famous.
