The day after the premiere, the official magazine of Cannes Film Festival came out in full swing. Just a glance, you can clearly feel the enthusiastic praise of "drunken folk".
Ten media, four Samsung, six four-star.
What is this concept?
Four stars, excellent; Samsung, good; Two stars, average; One star, poor; Zero. Bad.
In other words, Samsung is praised, while four stars are rare.
Because of this, in Cannes Film Festival, three points is the watershed between masterpieces and masterpieces, and the works with more than three points are bound to attract attention; Two points is the watershed between excellent and mediocre. Above two points, the average level is maintained at least. The closer to three points, the better; As for less than two points, it can be regarded as a regretful failure.
In the end, "drunken Ballads" was a perfect work without bad comments. Among the four-point scoring table, the average score was as high as 3.6, which equaled the highest score in the history of "Adele's life", which was just created by "Adele's life". Even the numbers of three stars and four stars were completely consistent, which really set off a frenzy.
As a horizontal reference, this year's Cannes Film Festival officially entered its eighth day. At present, only two films have entered the third stage.
This is the official score of "drunken folk songs"!
"Drunken folk" is more worth a Grammy trophy than an Oscar; There are still a lot of film problems, but the soundtrack is really a big surprise. " Emily continued to read the official magazine's reviews. This time, all of them burst into laughter. "But there's no doubt who can refuse Langley hall?"
"The daily telegraph, right? It must be the Daily Telegraph of England. The critic's name is Tim Robey, right? " Mark Lacant, the tall, thin man.
He first met lenley at the Berlin Film Festival. In fact, before that, he had already set up his own film blog, but the update was not stable; After that, mark began to operate seriously. In less than two years, he received an invitation from Cannes Film Festival and became a we media film critic.
Emily nodded and looked at mark in astonishment. "How do you know that?"
"He was one of the film critics who watched the premiere with me yesterday. After watching the film, he sat in the same place and looked like a climax. I thought he would give four stars, but I didn't expect that he would only give three stars? Liar Mark make complaints about the Tucao, which again caused a big laugh.
Originally, I was still complaining that "drunken folk songs" should be all four stars, but with the gradual progress of communication, the mood and atmosphere became extremely happy.
Unconsciously, more and more people gathered around. At first, there were only four people, but now there are at least 20 people around, scrambling to express their views.
Emily's voice became cheerful. "Listen, this comment is the funniest, OK? This is a comment from the Bangkok Post. He said... "
"This movie of the Cohen brothers is like a person who went to Paris for a holiday, but chose to eat McDonald's every night, because that's all he knows. So why shoot this movie?" Emily read it aloud, trying to make everyone around her hear.
Then, clap your hands and laugh together.
From the perspective of drama, the "drunken ballad" is really subtracting, and it is still spinning back and forth on the basis of the equation of "one plus one equals two", just like a headless fly. Therefore, this comment is not entirely wrong, but also expressed in a way of banter. Only the audience who has really watched the film can understand the profound meaning.
More and more people gathered in the opposite of Binhai Avenue Movie Palace, not only Emily, but also with the distribution of official magazines, the discussion of "drunken folk songs" is on the rise.
Meanwhile, Nathan is reading the same review.
Joel Cohen, who was sitting next to him enjoying breakfast, shrugged his shoulders and said with a speechless expression, "Yeah, why shoot it? It's like, we all know that everyone's end is death, so why live? "
Make complaints about make complaints about Joel's words.
Ethan Cohen shook his head helplessly. "Joel, you should allow criticism."
Joel shrugged once again, mimicking the French accent. "Of course, I allow criticism, so critics should allow my criticism. That's fair, isn't it?"
The last question mark is looking at Lan Li, which makes Lan Li smile.
However, instead of giving a positive answer, Langley looked up at Nathan and said, "I think it should be a two-star or one star review. Are you sure?" Because in terms of content, the other party doesn't like this work.
Nathan turned the magazine over and put it in front of his chest. He showed it to you and said, "I don't know. He did give Samsung." Pausing for a moment, he guessed and said, "maybe it's because everyone else gave high marks. Is he a little embarrassed?"
This is obviously impossible. Film critics on the film festival are never soft handed in giving points, both high and low.
"Or... Wrong print?" Nathan's epilogue rose high and said uncertainly.
"Why don't you say it, because he can't refuse the charm of Langley?" Roy, sitting next to him, interjected, obviously disagreeing with Nathan's wild speculation.
Unexpectedly, Kerry and Joel nodded in agreement, so that Justin, who was eating french fries, almost spurted out the food. Then he realized his impoliteness, waved his hand to lanli, tried to explain, and then looked to Kerry and Joel for help. But because he choked, he couldn't speak at all. He was really embarrassed.
Lan Li was dumbfounded, deliberately showing a meaningful look, fell on Justin, and then said, "since it's Samsung, we'll take it calmly. As for the specific reason, let the audience savor it carefully."
Andy also echoed, "let's just read the opinions of film critics. Everyone has different judgments and choices. Personally, I like this work very much. I think it's worth full marks. Isn't there a four-star review? Why didn't you hear that? "
Roy, sitting across the way, glanced at Andy, and make complaints about the weak expression of the Tucao. But Andy glared at Roy and continued to pretend that nothing was wrong. The two men cast their eyes at Nathan.
After yesterday's premiere, Andy was in a state of extreme anxiety, because the film festival could not be inferred according to common sense after all, for fear that "drunken folk songs" would also be like last year's "detachment" in general, and he would receive extreme evaluation of ice and fire on top of the Film Festival, which is absolutely not a good thing for lenley.
Although "detachment" finally won the Oscar nomination; But after a whole year of glory last year, more and more eyes fell on Lan Li——
On the one hand, "the curse of the little golden man" still lingers, "drunken folk songs" and "gravity" are the works that Lan Li took after he captured the film emperor. Everyone is curious about whether the "curse effect" exists; On the other hand, after the victory of "tomorrow's edge" and the slight decline of "detachment", everyone is paying attention to whether lanli's career can go to a higher level or enter the bottleneck.
In addition, the conflicts between lanli and diesel and Weinstein, and the interest exchange between lanli and universal pictures and Disney all mean that lanli has now entered a higher level of game in the pyramid. And the only thing he can do as a chip is his market value.
"Drunken ballad" represents the prospect of award season and the root of independent film field; Gravity, on the other hand, represents business prospects, with the support of Warner Bros. These two works play an irreplaceable role in the planning and promotion of lanli's career blueprint.
Because of this, Andy is always a little worried about gain and loss. Last night was like an ant on a hot pot. But now, Andy has shown a careless gesture of generosity, which is really making people unable to make complaints about it.
However, Roy chose to shut up because his performance last night was not so good.
Now, after the official magazine comes out, Andy and Roy both take a long breath.
As for awards, they don't demand too much.
If it is the competition in the award season, they can also operate well through the college public relations; However, in the film festival, this set can hardly be used. It completely depends on the viewing preference of the jury. It is impossible to predict and operate. So, it's better to face it calmly with an ordinary heart.
It's like the 44th Cannes Film Festival in 1991.
At that time, the chairman of the jury was Roman Polanski, the director who produced such classic works as "Chinatown", "pianist", "Rosemary's baby".
In that year, the average quality of the works in the main competition unit was mediocre, lacking highlights and surprises. After the opening of the film festival for many days, there are still no bright works, even the news media are not lively enough.
To this end, Roman angrily expressed his dissatisfaction and privately protested against the then chairman of the selection committee, Giles Jacobs. "With such a list, what do you want me to choose?"
It was not until the penultimate day of the festival that the "Barton Fink" directed by the Cohen brothers officially appeared that Roman nodded his head in a happy mood to express his satisfaction, believing that this is the so-called masterpiece.
On the last day of the closing ceremony and award ceremony, "Barton Fink" swept the Palme d'Or, best actor and best director trophies, and the Cohen brothers officially opened their brilliant career.
Therefore, everyone said that on the Oscar ceremony, the nomination depends on strength, and the award depends on luck; This kind of rule is applied to the three major European film festivals, which is worthy of the name.
For "drunken folk songs", the official magazine's highest score in history is enough!
