Synopsis

On April 23, the Cannes Film Festival organizing committee held a press conference in Paris and announced the lineup for the festival's 62nd edition.

As expected, Chinese-language films were a major force in the main competition, accounting for four of the twenty films in contention.

What came as a surprise was that Japanese cinema, which had enjoyed an outstanding year last year, had only one film selected this time: Shoplifters. The film's director is Chinese, Li Tang, an international student from China living in Japan. Yesterday, he sharply criticized the confusing stance and logic of City of Life and Death, and published an online essay titled “Lu Chuan Has Lost His Principles.”

Reporter: “Director Li, City of Life and Death opened yesterday, and you published an article accusing its director of having lost his principles. What inspired you to make the Japanese film Shoplifters? Aren't you worried that people back home will accuse you of sucking up to Japan?”

Li Tang: “First, let's talk about City of Life and Death. This film is nothing but sensationalism. Its disregard for historical facts is chilling.”

“As for Shoplifters, it depicts the real lives of Japan's most disadvantaged people. I've never worried that people back home would accuse me of sucking up to Japan. On the contrary, it may offend a lot of Japanese people, but I have a clear conscience.”

“Because film is an art grounded in reality. A director can use their imagination, but they can't just make things up.”

Really, that's how I see it
Really, I've always held that view. When you look at Huayu articles, there are only three possibilities: 1. Show off and suppress. 2. Find something to relax. 3. You are a fan of a certain company. In my opinion, these three reasons are nothing to blame. Everyone is looking for happiness. However, I think it's boring to step on other people's hobbies when you don't like them. Everyone is not having fun and they are being sprayed, so why bother? And there is no need to catch ugly pictures of female celebrities. There is no such thing as a perfect beauty in this world. Even if you are Lin Daiyu, I can take an ugly picture of you from my angle.

Looking at the follow-up, if it is written that Yang Ying and Wen Yongshan came out not to collect stamps and sign a contract of prostitution, then writing these two will be meaningless.

What a great treasure. Her old fans are still remembering how she was treated in the past. Personally, I have always thought she was not good-looking. What's more, fmx is so boring to watch. I don't know what qualifications she has to compete there 🤭🤭

Why write about Nazha? Apart from her good looks, she is not purely natural. Her character and ability are really useless and she is completely unattractive!!!

There is no need to mind Shu Qi
I asked the author, just have a fight, there will be no drama in the future

It is recommended that the supporting role of Shu Qi be deleted. Don't overplay it. Putting Shu Qi together with other characters is too weird considering her age.
