Chapter 1313

After checking the manuscript again, Sean levy immediately uploaded it to the official website of Empire magazine.

As a front-line film critic, they have to race against time. Every minute is very precious. If he follows his usual schedule, he will go back to the hotel now, wash and sleep, and conserve his energy for tomorrow's work; But today, the work has been completed, Sean is not sleepy at all.

Sitting in the seat and holding up the beer, the picture of "drunken folk songs" is always in my mind.

For Sean, "drunken ballad" is a perfect movie, but it has a profound aftertaste.

Not only because of the script or photography or performance, but also because of the unique temperament, poetic and moving, light and profound, wonderful and sad after every detail is completely organized together; But what is more valuable is that the stamina and reflection after the film is over is beyond imagination.

Now, the melodious folk melody seems to reverberate in my ears again. Close your eyes, you can go back to Greenwich Village in the 1960s, clean and hazy streets, poor but kind-hearted people, as well as those losers singing with guitar in bars, but they are happy.

Sean is a little curious. What are the opinions of other film critics on the official magazine of Cannes Film Festival?

……

As the largest film market in the world, the official publication system of Cannes Film Festival is also complicated.

Before the official Premiere of some films, the market has watched them, and all the copyrights have been sold out, which also makes the expectations of journalists and film critics rising; On the contrary, after the premiere of some works, the comments from reporters and film critics will be hot, and then the market will have a further reaction.

In addition, the official film review list can also be divided into many kinds, one is the French media and European media led by the "Film Handbook", one is the mainstream media in the United Kingdom and the United States, one is the Latin American media led by Mexico - this list is also known as the APICA list, and the other is the media of the three countries in East Asia.

Each list has its own special reference significance.

Brazil, Argentina and other South American marketing personnel are naturally more willing to refer to their own "APICA list" when purchasing copyright; When considering the best foreign language film seed of Oscar, the list of British and American media is the correct reference object, and the score of "Film Handbook" has little reference value.

Because of this, Chinese media are often prone to deviation when reporting Cannes Film Festival.

For example, they reported a work that was very popular in Cannes and won high marks in the magazine. But when the final prize came out, this work didn't win the prize. On the contrary, another work with mediocre reputation won the prize, so everyone was full of questions, "what's the matter?" Immediately after that, they were shouting "black curtain" and even fighting against injustice in a large area.

The premise is that the three major European film festivals are all under the jury system, and the personal aesthetic taste of the judges is the key to determine the attribution of awards. The score of the field magazine represents the opinions of the media, which does not mean that the high score of the field magazine is the guarantee of winning awards. In Cannes Film Festival, the highest score of the field magazine finally returns empty handed.

However, even if we put this aside, the aesthetic taste and magazine ratings of different countries and regions are different. When reading news reports, we must recognize that this is the list of each region. The most simple and intuitive example is "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon", which is serious in numerous British and American media. This is the best Chinese martial arts film in the new century. But for Chinese audiences, this is a good work, but it is not necessarily the best one.

Therefore, if you want to see flowers in the fog outside the wall, you must polish your eyes, otherwise you will be an outsider after all.

However, there is only one official magazine in Cannes Film Festival.

Every year, there are countless media reporters coming to Cannes. Every year, the official film festival will select ten film critics to represent the different views of different regions and different media. Every year, there will be big or small changes in the selected media to ensure more new ideas and changes for the magazine.

In other words, the official journal emphasizes an average.

This year, a total of 10 media have been invited, including French "liberation" and "feature film" magazines, British "view and listen", "Daily Telegraph" and "screen" magazines, American "Los Angeles Times", Russian "Medusa" magazine, German "times", Japanese "ten days of film" magazine, Thailand's "Bangkok Post" and so on, The media rating group of the official magazine was formed.

Every media will send an authoritative professional film critic as a representative to score. The four stars are the highest, and the sporadic ones are the lowest. If you miss the premiere, you are allowed to be absent; Every day, they have to update their scores in time, and make sure that the official magazine comes out in time the next morning.

However, this is only for the main competition unit of the magazine scoring group, a focus unit, director biweekly unit, etc. are not in the scope of comment scoring.

In the early morning, under the urge of the alarm clock, Emily got up in a daze, but her brain was still in a trance vacuum state. Even after brushing her teeth and washing her face, it still didn't improve much. After a cup of espresso entered her stomach, she was a little sober.

However, she was so excited last night that when she stood in the tavern chatting with other colleagues, she forgot the time. All in all, she only slept for more than four hours. Now she feels that she can sleep standing up, just like a foal.

"God! Langley hall is exploding! Langley hall is exploding

There was an excited scream in her ear. In an instant, Emily gave a pep shot, walked forward quickly and asked, "is it Levine Davis?"

"Yes, yes! God! I really love movies! " The other side didn't care that Emily was a complete stranger. She couldn't wait to share and handed over the official magazine with ink fragrance.

The magazine is a table of quadrant lists, with movie titles on the vertical axis, arranged in chronological order; The horizontal axis is the names of magazines and film critics, which are arranged randomly after disorder.

Before the official opening of the film festival, the form has been printed out, leaving a blank space waiting to be filled. Therefore, every day, you only need to scan the bottom row of stars to see the specific score of the latest film.

Emily stepped forward, took over the official magazine, and quickly came to the bottom row, with a simple glance. Then she began to scream, "explosion! It's exploding! Ah, it's exploding! Langley hall is exploding Shouting, feet began to excitedly stamp in place, the joy of blowout could not be suppressed.

The three strangers who were just discussing were all laughing happily.

"As I said, this movie is going to explode in Cannes. The French media absolutely love it. "

"I was worried that the United States would not like it too much, but now it seems that the Los Angeles Times has stabilized. I don't know what the future of next year's Oscars will be like."

"What surprised me most was Germany." the times gave them four stars. God, I thought they didn't understand folk songs or poetry. Don't tell me that philosophy is also a part of poetry. Don't tell me about history. Berlin and Cannes have different tastes. "

"What happened to the Russian and Thai media? They're the only ones

There was a lot of chattering discussion. Unconsciously, more and more people were participating in the discussion. All of Emily's sleepiness was swept away, and she said to the friends she just met, "don't care about these details, let's just look at the detailed comments. To be honest, I've been worried that the British media won't like it... "

"No way!" The three yelled in unison. The uniform voice was so loud that Emily was shocked. The four of them looked at each other and laughed together.

One of the skinny boys said, "the British media are crazy about blue rite now, OK? Yesterday, when I watched the premiere, I sat with several British film critics. They all started shaking their hands excitedly. People who didn't know it thought they were alcoholism. "

In the voice of Emily, he opened the field magazine and began to read it quickly. He make complaints about his voice. "Read it out and read it out directly. We haven't had time to read it carefully."

Without hesitation, Emily read aloud, "the Cohen brothers consciously cut down the narrative focus and focused all the lens focus on Levine Davis. They are undoubtedly gentle and gentlemanly towards this role. They invite every audience to follow him in Greenwich Village in the 1960s, Then began to wonder: why this man can be such a jerk, and unrepentant? "

"God

Before Emily finished reading, everyone began to roll their eyes together, and they began to curse.

"Did he understand?"“ He didn't understand at all, did he? "“ If Levine is a jerk, what about Ray Charles? "“ It's stupid for such a comment to appear in the magazine? "

"Wait, wait, it's not over yet." "But the problem is that you can't take your eyes away from that man. Because you will find the fragility and pain you have in him. Although I don't want to admit it, Langley hall did it again

As the smile began to bloom around the corner of her mouth, Emily read aloud, "this is a comment from Anton Dolin of Russia's Medusa magazine. He gave it to Samsung."

Incidentally, the score of "drunken folk songs" was 3.6.
