When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 755 Movies and Freedom

She put the original flowers aside, wiped the water stains with a tissue, and put them in her bag.

The flowers, also lilies, did not wither, but were just slightly wilted.

"Sister Nanzhu, just throw it into the trash can."

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Flowers should not be thrown into the trash can."

Li Renyong was full of questions: "It will wither anyway."

It is perfectly normal for flowers to fade and shrivel.

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and shook her head without saying anything.

Another person who had a similarly difficult fate, Akina Nakamori, said, "Nanju-chan, I understand you."

What should I do if the flowers wither?
Throw it away!

What to do when you get old?
Abandoned!

Both pessimistic and optimistic.

For most people, it is OK to just throw away things that are not needed.

But for people like Zheng Nanzhu who have experienced pain and are particularly sensitive, they always think of themselves.

Withered flowers also have their own unique fragrance and beauty.

Li Renyong didn't understand, so he simply stopped asking.

The two women in front of me were both around 24 years old.

Their friendship is very strange. They became very good friends without saying a word to each other.

For example, now, Zheng Nanzhu didn't say anything, but Nakamori Akina understood.

Could it be that she was hurt by Kondo Masahiko, and when she saw the flowers being thrown away, she thought of herself?
Li Renyong smiled and said, "Mingcai-chan, the weather is so nice today, why don't you go out for some fun?"

Akina Nakamori said, "Anyway, there's still plenty of time. I went to watch your movie at the Festival Palace yesterday."

The Festival Palace has been known by many names.

Some are called Conference Palace, and some are called Festival Palace.

Its only function is to play the nominated films and award prizes.

The previous Festival Palace was built in 1949 and was located on the Croisette.

Last year, the mission was truly completed and the demolition began.

The Festival Palace used this year is the first time it is used in the true sense of the word.

She originally didn't have a pass, but she called her agent and got a temporary pass that day.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Akina Nakamori has such a miserable life in both family and love.

But in terms of career, he is a real big shot.

Li Renyong asked: "How is it? Do you think you can win the Palme d'Or?"

Akina Nakamori said: "I'm not sure, but the movie is pretty good."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "Ayong, many directors want to invite you to participate in the seminar."

What seminar?

Is there also an academic seminar at the film festival?

He is just a student who has not graduated from high school. What can he say when he attends a seminar?
Zheng Nanzhu explained: "It is the International Academic Symposium on Film and Freedom. It started the day we arrived and is said to end on the 25th."

Wasn’t that the day the Cannes Film Festival ended?

Li Renyong is familiar with "Film and Freedom".

During this year's film festival, which coincided with the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a group of bored directors organized a meeting.

The main topic was the unstable political situation in Eastern Europe, and many filmmakers were very worried about the international situation of film production and distribution.

This seminar attracted the attention of filmmakers from all over the world and became the largest and most influential international seminar in Cannes' history.

Many filmmakers used very strong words.

"In Tunisia, the importance of film market censorship has surpassed national censorship, and the obstacles imposed by Western superpowers on the distribution of films in third world countries have surpassed local political censorship."

Some filmmakers even said directly: "It is too difficult to talk about freedom in our country."

These filmmakers believe that there are two main forces that endanger film freedom.

The first is economic hegemony, and the second is political power.

These two rights that hinder the development of the film industry are prevalent all over the world and are mutually infiltrating. They call on filmmakers to unite, raise their awareness, learn from each other, and resolutely carry forward the spirit of the Declaration of Human Rights.

Westerners like to do this.

Li Renyong is on the peninsula, what human rights does he care about?

Countries are built on other people's military bases.

What a coincidence.

The film "Joint Security Area", for which Li Renyong was nominated, is in some sense similar to the topic of this seminar.

That's why the seminar wanted to invite him to speak.

"I don't know anything about these things. I'm just a script writer. Let Uncle Cangdong take care of these things."

Li Renyong was secretly delighted, thinking that he had secured the Palme d'Or this time.

The three of them were in the ward, talking and laughing.

No matter who you are, you won’t feel bad when facing two beauties.

"Click~~"

The door opened again, bringing in a gust of cold wind.

Li Changdong's loud voice rang out: "Ayong, look who's here."

Li Renyong sat up and said, "Who else could be here? Uncle Cangdong, you can bring the judges... Paula, why are you here?"

Paula stood in the doorway, her face icy.

She decided to face Li Renyong with this attitude.

Let him know he's angry.

When his eyes scanned the room, he saw two beautiful women and became even angrier.

Everyone was still worried about him, but Ayong was actually talking and laughing with others.

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Bo Ra is here. You must have had a hard time on the journey. Did you bring your luggage?"

Hearing this, the frost on Paula's face suddenly melted and she broke into a bright smile.

"Sister Nanzhu, the suitcase is at the hotel. Thank you for helping take care of Ayong for so many days."

Akina Nakamori came to Zheng Nanzhu's side and asked quietly: "Who is this?"

Zheng Nanzhu lowered her head and replied, "Ayong's girlfriend."

There was a hint of loss in the voice.

Akina Nakamori paused, suddenly understood something, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Every time she came, she could see Zheng Nanzhu taking care of Li Renyong wholeheartedly.

I originally thought that there was something interesting between the two of them.

Who knows, it's unrequited love.

Paula looked at Akina Nakamori and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Renyong smiled and said, "I met her at the airport. She's from Japan, Akina Nakamori. She sings very well."

Akina Nakamori greeted him generously: "Ayong is so lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend."

After saying hello, Paula walked to the bedside and looked at Li Renyong quietly.

Eyes as sharp as knives!

Li Renyong was a little scared by being looked at: "Why are you here?"

Paula didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

An uncomfortable atmosphere gradually spread in the air.

Akina Nakamori was the first to say goodbye: "I suddenly remembered that I have an interview. I'll come to see you later."

Although she wanted to see the gossip, Paula seemed very strong and the gossip seemed a little dangerous.

Li Renyong was speechless.

You're already in France, there's no such thing as an interview.

Paula is the same, she always greets others with a smile.

Only I can bear the gaze as cold as a knife.
