After reading the fax in his hand, Simon called Amy to chat with him about his opinions, and by the way asked about the casting progress of the actor of "Batman".

Speaking of which, there are not many films in this Cannes Film Festival that can interest Simon. He did not plan to watch movies like he did when he was at Sundance, but planned to use the next two weeks. Carefully organize your thoughts on the Batman script.

Although this superhero movie is scheduled to start shooting next year, there is actually not so much time.

In the next half a year, in addition to the script, Simon will also solve the problems of various high-tech props of Bruce Wayne in the film, such as the Batmobile. These are cars that can really run on the road, not just some models, from From design to assembly, half a year may not be enough. Also, many of the special effects planned for the film took a lot of time to prepare.

For the next few days, Simon basically lived in the hilltop mansion in the Le Canet district to conceive the script, from time to time to maintain continuity with the United States. It was Janet and Jennifer who ran the whole Cannes over and over again. Janet really made friends with Natasha Kinski. Although she didn't stay overnight like that night, at noon on Saturday, Natasha Kinski is back for lunch with Janet again, but the woman has also been lukewarm toward Simon.

On the other hand, various activities of the Cannes Film Festival are also 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 screenings of the film festival, there are many film screenings arranged by self-funded film companies in cinemas, beaches, and auditoriums all over the city. Movie extravaganza.

However, the official films of the festival are undoubtedly the ones that receive the most media attention.

The organizers also arrange the screenings of each competition unit with a clear rhythm, usually based on the word-of-mouth or fame of the film, so that the twelve-day film festival will not be too dull. Pulp Fiction was scheduled on Sunday, the first weekend of the festival, with that in mind. A few days before Pulp Fiction, media discussions were set off by Kieslowski's "Murder Short" and the British production company's film based on true events, "Patti Hirst."

The Polish director Kieslowski has not yet reached the peak of the later "Red, Blue and White Trilogy" at this time, and "Murder Short" can be regarded as his famous work. The media from all walks of life naturally praised the film, and some even predicted that "Murder Short Film" would be the most powerful contender for the Palme d'Or this year.

Another "Patty Hearst" is based on a kidnapping incident that shocked the world in the 1970s.

After being kidnapped by a thug, Patty Hearst, the daughter of the American media family Hearst family, was brutally insulted, abused and brainwashed, and accidentally joined the thug organization and participated in many subsequent bank robbery incidents.

Patty Hirst has thus become the most typical patient of 'Stockholm Syndrome'.

After the arrest, the Hearst family used a lot of resources and contacts and even the means of presidential amnesty to successfully fish out the charming lady who had been sentenced to 35 years.

Compared with the one-sided praise of "Murdering Short Film", the media has ridiculed "Patty Hearst", obviously because of the influence of the Hearst family, although the producer chose this very sensitive subject matter , but the handling of the whole story is still secretive. For example, when the thugs were training the members of the organization, even the other female members were naked, and Patty Hirst, who was among the hostages, was neatly dressed.

The film critic of the French "Le Figaro" wrote in a mocking tone of "if you dare not make it, don't make it": "According to the description of this film, I only saw the extreme thugs against the Hearst family. Respectfully, according to this logic, Miss Hearst should be released immediately instead of being brainwashed into one of them."

In the 1980s, Cannes did not have an official journal for grading the films of each unit, and this link only started in 1997. However, the French media still organized a five-point selection, and "Patty Hirst" got the lowest score of 1.3 without any suspense. In comparison, Kieslowski's "Murder Short Film" scored up to 4.6.

And so on until Sunday, May 15th.

The red carpet premiere of Pulp Fiction is scheduled for nine in the morning.

Although the quality of the film is still unknown, as Simon's second film after "Lola Run," which made more than $400 million at the global box office, "Pulp Fiction" is undoubtedly the most anticipated film at the festival.

Before 8 o'clock, the outside of the film palace was already very lively. 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 invitations openly held high-priced beats and looked forward to being able to. Get a movie ticket before the show opens.

In addition to the "Pulp Fiction" crew, most of the judges in the main competition unit and many Hollywood stars who came to Cannes this time also confirmed their attendance.

Seeing this grand occasion, Simon and others did not feel much pressure, but Mike Medova, president of Orion Pictures, seemed extremely nervous.

As of now, Orion has released six films this year. Although it was a relatively low season for films before, among the six films, only the "Colorful Rattlesnake" starring Robert Duvall and Sean Penn was considered a relatively successful one. All five ended in failure.

These six films already make up a small half of Orion's total release schedule for this year, and it's conceivable that if the whole of this year doesn't have its own

If his explosion model appears, Orion is likely to lose money again, or even encounter a crisis that is even more serious than the one two years ago.

You know, now is different from two years ago.

After last year's stock market crash, the hot money pouring into the entertainment industry is like a water that is on the verge of drying up. Even the seven major film companies are beginning to experience a crisis. It is said that Coca-Cola has privately negotiated with Sony to sell the Columbia Pictures stock in its hands. The operating conditions of Universal, which performed fairly well in the first two years, are also going from bad to worse, and I just look forward to the next sequel to "Back to the Future" to restore the overall situation.

In this case, once it is in crisis, it is absolutely difficult for Orion to turn over like it was two years ago.

"Pulp Fiction" is precisely the film that is most expected to support Orion's performance this year. However, compared to those commercial films that are suitable for all ages, "Pulp Fiction" is really too far ahead. Due to Simon's strength, Orion was completely unable to 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 this Cannes is very important for Pulp Fiction.

Although he has received some information from the judges he knows, Mike Medova has been busy in recent days. Just last night, he also held a media press conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Cannes, ahead of schedule. The major media people attending the festival will be entertained, so that even if these reporters are not satisfied with the film, they can still write.

Compared with the original production cost of "Pulp Fiction" of 8 million US dollars, Orion Pictures has unknowingly invested 5 million US dollars for the film's publicity and public relations. Next, if the film's reputation is good, it will definitely return. It will continue to invest, and it will basically reach a position equal to the cost of film production.

In this intense anxiety, Mike Medova still did not relax and greeted the guests who participated in the premiere. It was not until nearly nine o'clock that he came to Simon and sat down.

In any case, what should be done has already been done, and then it is up to God.

In the full-seat Rubier Hall, the lights dimmed, and the screen quickly turned on.

After the opening titles of Orion Films and Daenerys Films, the original interpretation of the term 'Pulp Fiction' still appeared first, and then, when the scene changed, a team of robbers played by Sean Penn and Madonna appeared in the movie. in the cafe.

In the hall, everyone was stunned when they saw these two people appearing.

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

Although in the previous publicity, many people have already learned that Madonna and Sean Penn will guest star in this film, but most people did not expect that Simon Westeros will put them at the beginning of the film.

At this time, listening to the two chatteringly discussing the topic of robbery, although some people found that Madonna's performance did not seem to be that bad, such a plot still makes people feel inexplicable. In this way, some audience members realized something different until the two who had been chatting just now suddenly broke out, took out their guns and started robbing.

Then, the episode came to an abrupt end.

After the subtitles, the picture has shifted to Vinson and Jules, played by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.

Listening to the two still chattering about hamburgers like two office workers, the audience, who had just been a little bit interested by the outburst of Madonna and Sean Penn, unknowingly became bored again, until the two arrived at a few punks. The residence, then, suddenly drew a gun to kill.

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

It is still a baffling chatter. After listening to the instructions of the gang boss, Butch met Vincent for the first time, which also laid some foreshadowings for the subsequent plot.

The narration also turned back to Vincent. After receiving the entrustment of the boss, Vincent rushed to Mia's residence. At Mia's insistence, the two came to the Bunny Restaurant. Until this time, the film's screening was actually only half an hour.

Seeing the golden age star cos in the restaurant, many audience members showed knowing smiles on their faces.

Moreover, direct and keen film critics also suddenly discovered that the rambled style of this film still unknowingly substitutes itself into the film's plot. With the classic swing dance of Vincent and Mia, some people even There was a sense of inability to stop, a feeling of wanting to know what was going to happen next.

However, unlike any movie mode in previous cognition, except for a small number of people who have seen the movie, no one on the scene can guess the next plot direction of the movie.

After Vincent and Mia's dinner, everyone basically felt that the next thing must be a matter of course stealing and cheating, but the plot has once again evolved into an absurd farce. Mia slipped into a coma from Vincent's drug by mistake, and the adrenaline-pumping scene inevitably left a lasting impression on the audience.

The date between the two also came to an end amid a joke about ketchup.

The story of the gold watch begins.

When seeing Christopher Walken appearing on the screen to tell about the past of the gold watch, many fans who have watched "The Deer Hunter" couldn't help laughing at Simon's bad taste, especially the appearance of Butch, played by Robert De Niro, Even reminded the hall of laughter.

You know, in The Deer Hunter, Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro happen to play two prisoners of war in Vietnam. This episode, completely implicated in "The Deer Hunter", Christopher Walken from prisoners of war

Survival, and then bring back the gold watch that Butch's father has worked so hard to preserve.

Apparently, Robert De Niro played his own father.

Butch started to flee after killing his opponent fiercely in the ring. The audience who had just been immersed in the meme of "The Deer Hunter" were immediately amazed by Villalobos who appeared on the big screen.

In the taxi, in just a few minutes of rivalry, Robert De Niro seemed completely at ease, but an actress who was completely unknown in a certain circle, with fluffy hair, a fair face, and lazy cat-like eyes, with The somewhat dangerous flaming red lips, as well as the strange accent that is so soft that it makes everyone unguarded, attracts the attention of all the audience unconsciously.

Some film critics even subconsciously have an idea that they are reluctant to admit that this completely unimpressive actress has suppressed Robert De Niro, who has won two Oscars.

Perhaps Butch's performance is not large, but the beauty, strangeness and danger of Esmedala's every move are hard to forget at a glance.

Even after this episode is over, many people are still savoring all the details in the footage just now, and looking forward to the glamorous female taxi driver appearing again in the next episode.

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

It was not until Butch killed Vincent and met the gang leader that they were both kidnapped and tortured. The audience recovered from the deep sound they had just left, and turned their attention to the plot of the film again.
