Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 652 Murder caused by greed



At the notice board outside the film palace competition venue.

Two local young people who were invited by the film festival to help with some errands carefully posted today's schedule. At the end, they checked one or two to make sure they were correct before leaving. Obviously take it seriously.

Someone was waiting on the side, and I was overjoyed when I saw the form...

However, it is said that the Cannes Film Festival has attracted many foreign tourists and film lovers from all over the world.

Therefore, there are thousands of people wandering around and looking around every day around the Film Palace.

Noon on the 19th, which is the third day after the opening ceremony.

Hotels and restaurants near the Movie Palace, when it is time to eat, are booming in business.

Each and everyone of the guests held a small group, and the topics of mutual opinions discussed with each other were basically related to the film screening.

On the table in the back of the hall on the first floor, there were four people sitting around. One of them, a slightly younger man, was holding a brochure in his hand, and he lowered his head to read it while the restaurant hadn't served the food, and suddenly shouted excitedly, Finally. Scheduled, Ryman's new work is scheduled for 3 p.m. in Lumiere Hall.

He is also a fan of Director Rust. After knowing that he was shortlisted for Cannes, he came over from Italy, just for a quick glimpse.

But around, which one is not paying attention to the official movie list.

In this sentence, the central figure is still the most famous French director Leman Rust in recent years... Don't forget, France is the home court.

Suddenly, it was quite lively just now, and the restaurant that was talking about different topics became quiet for a while. Then there are all kinds of determinations.

Is it really in line?

Lumiere Hall, you have to grab the tickets quickly, otherwise there will be too many people.

Surprised, delighted, excited...the list goes on.

The young man unfolded the manual, pushed it in front of several companions, and continued: Look at the information below this film, the western crime theme, I don't know how exciting it is.

For a while, the mind of eating is gone...

......

The screening of No Country for Old Men is indeed set at 3:00 p.m. in Lumiere Hall.

I have to say that Cannes is still very face-saving, and directly chose the largest screening hall to support it.

After the news came out through the movie brochure or the notice board, it soon became the most popular topic of discussion among movie lovers gathered here.

After all, Lehman's films have already been delivered to the world's film market through the big network of Hollywood, and people in various regions have at least had contact with them. Compared with other big directors, they are not unfamiliar.

Every movie fan who is interested in watching the movie for the first time will sigh a few times, and then immediately rush to the Lumiere Hall.

Maybe they all realized the difficulty of grabbing tickets...

Sure enough, it was only a few minutes after one o'clock in the afternoon, and the last movie had just been shown, and there was a long queue at the window.

Judging from this, those in the back have to worry about whether there are still seats in the auditorium.

see this scene,

Many people are scolding the organizer for not being able to do things. How can this hall be enough, at least one more show must be added?

And there are more and more people coming at this time, and there is no intention to stop at all. Some people even pay for the front position directly, just for a priority...

Unfortunately, the film festival has its own regulations, and there are indeed too few exhibition halls. It is difficult to take care of the 21 shortlisted films. Some films are scheduled to be scheduled after a week...

Of course, the audience has needs, and it's okay to meet them a little. For example, if you give one shift every day, it's not impossible, or you'll be scolded for being biased and unfair.

I don't know how long it took, and two more people came to the Lumiere Hall outside.

These two are the King of Sunglasses and Chen Huizhong who came to cheer.

Approaching the screening, the team outside still did not disperse, which has to be said to be very impressive.

It's really popular, Chen Huizhong said to the King of Sunglasses: This kind of appeal is rare.

Although the King of Sunglasses also had some small feelings in his heart, he still answered indifferently: Well, it's really rare.

In this way, I'm afraid that I won't be able to convince the public in the end, and I will only cause infamy. Chen Huizhong said slightly worried.

It's good to say that these films need to be ranked first, and the rest will be determined according to the situation. Besides, being sought after by fans has nothing to do with awards. There are so many directors who think they are talented, and who is willing to be lower than others. This is It was a bad deal.”

After chatting for a while, and feeling one or two, the two naturally did not need to grab tickets, and walked directly into the theater from the side door.

Later, Lyman and the crew of No Country for Old Men were also present, and the scene was turbulent for a while, but soon became quiet.

After all, everyone came to see the movie.

Under the watchful eye of critics, audiences and some filmmakers, the lights went out one by one.

At this time, the interior of the movie hall, which can accommodate eight or nine hundred people, was already full.

Although a similar situation is not a special case in Cannes, after all, if you can play here during the film festival, at least you have some expectations for the movie.

Such a scene is not unfamiliar to the main creator of the crew.

Everyone has more or less experienced movie screenings, and the works that appear in them are about to be judged by the public, so I feel a little uneasy about it.

After all, this movie has their part, rather than some unrelated work, so naturally it is more entangled.

But this tangled state soon disappeared, and after the opening blue butterfly animation, the screen became pitch black again.

The movie starts...

It is a piece of dog head gold that glows with infinite charm in the sun. In a wilderness, the background music of the melodious wind instrument is like a breeze blowing, and then I see a silly young man with a smile showing his teeth. .

This sturdy young man, who had just come out of the mine, looked unclean with sweat and plaster, so he held the gold head high, his eyes sparkling.

The work in the mine is hard work. More than half of the men in the whole town work in this mine.

In the rapidly flashing footage, I briefly introduced the mine.

The mine was opened five years ago, and the owner is a middle-aged white man with a big gold chain and always meticulous hair who doesn't like to laugh. His name is Monterey.

No one knows how Monterey made his first fortune. The townspeople only know that since he came here with a machine and a whole bunch of people who don't seem to be easy to mess with, he has been mining. Most of the people went out to look for work, and then gradually worked in the mines. Anyway, it’s not to sell labor, so it’s better to choose a closer one.

The salary of the mine is neither high nor low, but it is very hard work. Going down into the deep mine always gives people a kind of claustrophobic depression.

A year ago, the mine collapsed once and two people died. Monterey lost a sum of money, but the family still wanted to make trouble. In the end, it didn't work for some reason. I heard that they gave another sum of money to stop their mouth , but those people soon disappeared from the town, and everyone said they went out of town.

The young man returned home and hid the gold, went to the best restaurant in town for dinner, ordered a large plate of beef, and ate it with relish.

Some companions who passed by saw him spending so much money, and joked if he didn't want to get married and planned to spend it alone.

The young man smiled and drank a big glass of beer, only to feel that the hard days were over.

On the way home, the young man met a strong man, the one he saw most often around Monterey. The man saw him and said that today was the day when the mine was paid. Why did you come back so early? .

After that, he took out an envelope from his arms.

The young man collected the money and threw the envelope away.

The strong man saw it, didn't know what to think, just watched his back go away...

As soon as the camera turned, the phone rang in a well-decorated room.

Monterey, the mine owner, frowned and hung up.

However, it was his mining group that had to be investigated for the issue of private mining due to incomplete procedures, and it was his subordinate who called to inform him.

Monterey only said he knew.

In a dimly lit room, there was a large piece of natural-colored dog head gold on the table. An old man with glasses smiled with satisfaction, but said that he could not raise funds for a while, so the young man would spend two days. Come.

The young man was a little depressed and wrapped the silk scarf around the dog's head, put it in his pocket and left.

And the old man changed his hands and made a phone call...

Two days later, the young man came to the site of the deal.

A pair of greedy eyes stared at the young man, and then a strong man greeted first: Have you brought something?
