Chapter 652： Murder caused by greed

At the notice board outside the main competition venue of the Film Palace.

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

Someone was waiting by the side long ago, and I was overjoyed when I saw the form...

However, he said that the Cannes Film Festival has attracted a lot of tourists and film lovers from all over the world.

Therefore, there are thousands of people wandering around every day around the Film Palace to look around.

At noon on the 19th, that is, the third day after the opening ceremony.

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

One by one, 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 in recent years, Leman Rust... Don't forget, France is the home court.

Immediately, 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 ranked?"

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

Surprised, delighted, excited...and so 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, my thoughts about eating were all gone...

......

The screening of "No Country For Old Men" is indeed set at Lumiere Hall at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

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

After the news came out through the movie brochure or 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 several 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 who are in the back have to worry about whether there are still seats in the auditorium.

Seeing this scene, many people are scolding the organizer for not being able to do things. How can this one hall be enough? At least one more show is necessary.

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, and some films are scheduled for a week later...

Of course, the audience has needs, and it's okay to meet them a little. For example, if you give a 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 from outside.

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

As the screening was approaching, the team outside still did not disperse. It must be said that it was 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 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 with a little worry.

"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 a little bit, the two of them naturally didn't 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" also arrived. The scene was turbulent for a while, but soon became quiet.

Anyway, everyone came to see the movie.

Under the attention of film 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 visit this place 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. Speaking of which, I feel a little uneasy.

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

But this tangled state soon disappeared. After the opening Blue Butterfly animation, the screen became pitch black again.

The movie starts...

It was a piece of dog head gold that glowed with infinite charm in the sun. In a wilderness, the background music of the melodious wind instrument was like a breeze blowing, and then I saw 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, just like this, he held the gold head high, his eyes shining.

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. The owner is a middle-aged white man with a big golden 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, and the town used to be 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 matter for some reason. I heard that they gave another sum of money to stop their mouths. , but those people soon disappeared from the town, and everyone said they went out of town.

The young man returned home and hid the kotou 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 they even joked if he didn't want to get married and planned to live 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, who was the most common one around Monterey. The man saw him and said that today is the day when the mine pays wagesyou boy Why did you come back so early.

Having said that, he took out an envelope from his arms.

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

Seeing the strong man in his eyes, he didn't know what to think, he just watched his back go away...

The camera turned, and in a well-decorated room, the phone rang.

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 that 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.

But the old man turned his hand and made a phone call...

Two days later, the young man came to the place of the transaction.

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