Chapter 529: Why Didn't You Get the Palme d'Or? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )
Flip through the major forums casually, especially the main battlefield of fans and sunspots, it can be said that there are corpses all over the field.
And these "corpses" are not from the fierce battle that has just taken place, but have been dug out of the "graveyard".
"I heard that this movie is neither liked by Chinese nor foreigners? See, Cannes is not for foreigners. ”
"Cannes was opened as a foreign citizen by Kuroko, and it is recommended that the country accept the homeless Cannes, move to Jingzhou, and change its name to the Tengda Film Festival."
"The Tengda Film Festival? Are you implying that Tengda has bought off the jury? Congratulations on the truth! (Dog's Head)"
"This movie is really popular because of marketing, if the foreign box office is not good, go to Cannes to win an award, marketing hammer! (Dog's Head)"
"Now it seems that "Beautiful Tomorrow" does occupy a good schedule, and if it is placed on a better schedule, it is estimated that it will be able to remove the pants of several other popular movies."
"At the moment, the big-budget movie that didn't collide with "Beautiful Tomorrow" should be kneeling in the living room to celebrate, right? It should be that the more you think about it, the more scared you are. ”
"Can you tell that joke again? Which one? It's about foreign blockbusters. 'Journey to the Flying Stars! The real foreign blockbuster is coming! 'Hahaha! ”
"I heard that foreign audiences don't eat this set, and today foreign theaters not only extended the release date of "Beautiful Tomorrow", but also added a film schedule. Once again, I solemnly inform all foreigners: watching this movie is at risk of being expelled from your nationality, please watch it with caution! ”
……
Similar comments can be seen everywhere on various forums, and the remarks and posts of those sunspots have been turned out and repeatedly beaten.
Many sunspots were hung and beaten to the point that they had nothing to love, either deleting comments or closing comments, and most of them could only pretend to be dead.
No way, the results are the best slap in the face!
Before the sunspots seized on the fact that "Beautiful Tomorrow" was not good at the overseas box office, they made a crazy fuss, and almost stonehammered this film, which only China likes and foreign countries don't like.
As a result, the awards at Cannes were too heavyweight, and they directly played a role in turning things around, and all the previous remarks were self-defeating!
Pei Qian leaned back in the boss's chair and was silent.
It's not that he wants to see these things, but he really can't watch them!
The whole network is discussing everywhere, even if you want to go to Weibo to see a young lady, you can brush up on relevant content, it is simply 360 degrees of penetration without dead ends, the "corpses" of sunspots are hung everywhere, and the corpses are repeatedly whipped, which is simply sad for those who hear it and cry for those who see it.
Pei Qian silently mourned for these warriors in his heart.
"You have been wronged! The next movie will definitely help you wash away your grievances! Please trust me one more time! ”
flipped through some popular discussion posts, Pei Qian thought, "Beautiful Tomorrow" should also pass, right?
It's too long-lasting!
I didn't expect a movie to have such a big stamina, from its release in February to the present, one after another, the popularity on the Internet has not stopped.
The most terrible thing is that every time the overwhelming Internet popularity will increase the number of purchases and broadcasts of "Beautiful Tomorrow" that is hanging on the island.
Pei Qian wondered very much, how could there be a new audience at this time?
This can't help but remind him of that very famous meme, who hasn't bought GTA5 yet?
Thankfully, the nightmare is finally over.
Now that the nightmare has been done all over again, and they have all won awards at international film festivals, it's time to stop, right?
The angles of the embarrassing blow have been searched by everyone, can the coffin be closed and let this movie rest in peace?
Pei Qian planned to stop paying attention to this matter and let its heat slowly dissipate.
However, just as he was about to close the web page, Pei Qian accidentally glanced at a post.
"Why did "Tomorrow Better" win the Grand Jury Prize?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, hey, it's another embarrassing post from a conventional angle.
He's seen too many of these kinds of posts.
When "Beautiful Tomorrow" successfully won the Jury Award, various popular self-media have already posted a lot of such posts, which are nothing more than to popularize the importance of Cannes and the Jury Award, talk about the last time a domestic film won this award, and finally analyze why "Beautiful Tomorrow" can meet the taste of the Cannes Jury and successfully win this award, by the way, I will revisit the spiritual connotation and artistry of this film.
Pei Qian has read a lot of such drafts, and he is not too interested.
However, seeing that the popularity of this post seemed to be a little unexpectedly high, Pei Qian hesitated for a moment, but still clicked in.
However, just after reading the first sentence at the beginning, Pei Qian was a little fainting.
……
"Seeing this topic, do you think I want to talk about why "Beautiful Tomorrow" won the award again?"
"Wrong!"
"What I want to ask is, why did Tomorrow Win the Grand Jury Prize, not the Palme d'Or?"
"As you know, this Cannes gave the Grand Jury Prize to "A Beautiful Tomorrow" and the Palme d'Or to "The Journey of the Soul", a Southeast Asian film."
"A lot of people are ecstatic just because "Bright Tomorrow" won the Grand Jury Prize, and they don't seem to have thought about the question, why didn't "Beautiful Tomorrow" win the Palme d'Or?"
"In fact, a comparison reveals that there are many similarities between 'Tomorrow' and 'Journey of the Soul'."
"The Journey of the Soul tells the story of a poor farmer who sees the souls of his deceased family members after suffering from a terminal illness and follows them to find his past life. The film uses non-professional actors, and most of the dialogues of the characters in the play are improvised, and the shots are rarely edited, and long shots are used. ”
"Although "Journey of the Soul" shows an exotic appearance and shows some supernatural elements, which seems to be more in line with the Cannes jury's taste for artistry, it has to be said that this film does not have such a clear advantage over "Beautiful Tomorrow", even in terms of artistry and connotation."
On the contrary, "A Better Tomorrow" is about the gap between the rich and the poor, the alienating effect of money on people, the manipulation of technology by capital to control people's lives, and the transformation of people into data. Compared with 'soul', it can obviously arouse a wider resonance and has a deeper connotation. ”
"And many people in China instinctively think that domestic films will not be too in line with the tastes of those juries because they don't know much about Cannes, so it's normal not to win the Palme d'Or, which is definitely a misreading!"
"In my opinion, the jury should also be very optimistic about 'A Better Tomorrow' compared to 'The Journey of the Soul', and according to the grapevine, the Palme d'Or actually went through three rounds of voting before it was finally decided."
"Obviously, the awards that seem to have settled down are actually many twists and turns in places that we can't see."
"Considering that "Beautiful Tomorrow" has already won the Grand Jury Prize, which is the de facto second place in the main competition unit, then "Beautiful Tomorrow" will definitely have a place in these three rounds of voting."
"That's why I asked the question at the beginning, why didn't 'Tomorrow win the Palme d'Or?"
"If you agree with the above conditions, then please read on."
"In my opinion, there are two reasons why "Bright Tomorrow" lost by a narrow margin to "The Journey of the Soul" in the final Palme d'Or."
"First of all, there are unspoken rules that international film festivals have. As we all know, in order to compete for better film resources and better maintain the gold content of their own awards, these international film festivals will prefer those films that premiere at film festivals and win awards. ”
"Some films that have won awards at other film festivals, or have achieved extremely high visibility, Cannes and other film festivals often do not qualify them, because this is tantamount to using their popularity to make wedding dresses for others, and it is unfair to those 'pro-son directors', that is, directors who have premiered their films at film festivals for several consecutive years."
"Unless it's a particularly good movie, you can make an exception."
"And "Beautiful Tomorrow" has just been released overseas, but fortunately, the marketing is not strong and the attention is not high, so I was fortunate to be selected for the main competition unit and won the award with my excellent strength."
"But in any case, it was not premiered at Cannes, so that the score of "Beautiful Tomorrow" in the hearts of the jury was invisibly discounted."
"And the second reason is mainly my speculation, I just say it, and everyone listens to it."
"In fact, the content of the previous content of "A Better Tomorrow" should be very in line with the taste of the jury, but the problem is...... Do you remember the easter egg at the end of the film? That is, a pistol was thrown at the door of the male protagonist? ”
As for whether this easter egg will be liked by the judges...... You can judge for yourself. ”
"Maybe without this easter egg, the probability of "Beautiful Tomorrow" winning the award will be a few points higher."
"Finally, one more interesting thing."
"Did you know that in 1998 there was also a film that won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes? That is, 13 years ago, it won the same award as "A Better Tomorrow". ”
"The name of the film is 'La vita è bel', and the English name is 'Life is beautiful'."
"And the English title of "Beautiful Tomorrow" is "Torrow is beautiful."
"Thirteen years later, two equally excellent and similar works have won the same award, and there seems to be some kind of wonderful connection in the dark."
"What's interesting is that although "Life is Beautiful" only won the Grand Jury Prize, its reputation among domestic fans was far better than that of the Palme d'Or that year."
"In short, we should be happy that Tomorrow won at Cannes. However, let's not feel sorry for just winning the Grand Jury Prize, this film definitely deserves more praise than we imagined, let's look forward to the Feihuang Studio, the 'light of the domestic film industry', to create more and better works for us in the future! ”
