From the picture to the sound to the lines, from the story to the character to the idea, from the director to the screenwriter to the actor, the professional media praised the film "Perfume" from head to toe, "Film Manual", "Audio and Sound", "Perfume" Empire", "New York Times", "Entertainment Weekly"... Of course, the famous "movie review" cannot be lacking. This time Chris Fairbank did not repeat the mistakes of last year's "Brokeback Mountain", he came in person Cannes, and a first-time review of the film

Chris Fairbanks commented, "Smell is the door to people's memory, and the dusty past can be awakened by a subtle smell one day, and compared with hearing and sight, smell is also more powerful. Subtle and intimate hearing, sight are a public resource, while smell is entirely personal, representing darkness, intimacy and zero distance 'perfume' officially awakens this value because of its rarity, and builds a marvel of all The world of smell is especially precious and unforgettable.”

Of course, Evan Bell's portrayal of the psychological transformation of the characters, the outline of the social culture of the era, and the elaboration of the relationship between human beings and society also made Chris Fair Punk full of praise. At the end of this review, Chris Fair Punk used "This is a work that is enough to rank among the top ten classics of the 21st century" to express his point of view, which has also become the most famous footnote of "Perfume"

However, even if there are reviews such as "Film Review" that push "perfume" into a masterpiece, the accusations of a large number of magazines such as "Premier", "World News", "The Hollywood Reporter", and "Vanity Fair" are still incessant. "Affirmative equals negative" comment formula makes people laugh and cry

There is no doubt that although "Perfume" is deeply caught in the whirlpool of twelve media praises and criticisms, and this extreme evaluation makes the movie "Perfume" trapped in the tug of classic or garbage, but For Evan Bell, he realized his original vision

Evan Bell's adaptation of "perfume" is different from Tom Tykwer's commercial approach in his previous life. He will fully present Baptiste Grenouille's psychological transformation, and also show the profound connotation of the novel. The result of this approach is that the story is complete but heavy and lengthy, nearly twenty minutes longer than the Tom Tykaway version in Evan Bell's memory. This is a very risky approach because the general In other words, the movie is too long to cause visual fatigue and aesthetic fatigue of the audience, and it is not easy to attract a large audience in commercial promotion, but the final result proves Evan Bell's wisdom. He uses his knowledge of psychology to make Baptiste Grenouille has shaped the whole person, and the whole story has broken through the window paper and successfully entered the ranks of "classic" - at least in Evan Bell's own view.

As for half of the media full of praise, half of the media scolded; half of the audience amazed and half of the audience abandoned this situation, Evan Bell had long expected, he did not hope to please all audiences - the previous three works He has never made this plan, he just hopes to present the story of "perfume" as completely as possible, so that people can experience the magic of the scent world written by Patrick Suskind, that is enough.

Of course, the fans of the original book with high expectations all expressed their support for Evan Bell, which has also become one of the reasons why Evan Bell is happy. Don't say Patrick Suskind's praise "I like it", this simple sentence It couldn't be simpler, but it came from the supreme praise of this picky and demanding old man. At first, countless people thought that this was an impossible adaptation task, even Stanley Kubrick thought so. Now, The evaluation of the finished product also makes people feel that Evan Bell is excellent

After the release of "Perfume", the media support rate of the Cannes Film Festival has changed again. "Babel Tower" and "Return" still lead with absolute advantages. The combined media support rate of the two has exceeded 50%. After Qi Juechen's two works, "Peerless Beauty" ranked third with 8 percentage points, while "Perfume" had to continue to count down to the fifth position to see that it was only five percentage points. It can be clearly interpreted that the media are not optimistic about the prospect of this controversial work winning the Palme d’Or

In the face of this situation, the media's criticism is immediately followed. It is necessary to know that Evan Bell said at the previous press conference that "there is no work that interests me at this year's Cannes Film Festival", which not only caused an uproar, It has also made the local media in France hate it to this day. Even though the most authoritative media in France, the "Cinebook", gave "perfume" a full score, it still can't stop the "gossip" from other media. It seems that everyone all waiting to see the joke of evn bell

According to common sense, this is the best time to promote the film after its premiere: the film has just been released, and news stories are emerging one after another, not to mention that this is the Cannes Film Festival - the world's largest film trading market, any sensible crew will be in At this time, a large-scale publicity was launched, but Evan Bell did not act according to common sense. In the end, he only accepted interview requests from ten media - this number was only one-third of the publicity of others. Moreover, these The exclusive interviews with the media were all arranged after breakfast. At this time, the media would be on fire. Even Evan Bell still had time to enjoy breakfast. This really made the media reporters furious.

This move of Evan Bell immediately angered a group of media. After receiving the notice, the media headed by "Premier" agreed with each other not to interview Evan Bell at all, and let Evan Bell taste the cold reception. The taste, then he will know the priorities of the matter. As a result, this strategy from Elliott Carter has won the support of many colleagues. After all, Evan Bell has really offended the media this time.

This is the Cannes Film Festival, and all the crews—really all the crews, no exceptions, are actively cooperating with the media publicity work. After a whole day of continuous interviews, fifty media interviews are not exaggerated. Sometimes I have to attend a dinner party at night, not to mention the endless premieres and social occasions, this is the grand occasion of Cannes, but look at Evan Bell, playing big names, putting on airs, arrogant, arrogant ... not only He made a lot of nonsense at the first press conference in Cannes, and after the release of "Perfume", he was so uncooperative, and he only accepted exclusive interviews from ten media. This is indeed the anger that made the media reporters go out.

As a result, Elliott Carter's strategy quickly gained the support of many reporters. These people decided to cool down Evan Bell and let him know that the media was not his pet that he played with applause. "Premiering" and other journalists who sneered at the film "Perfume" circulated, but after the rumors of "unhappy break up" after Jill Jacobs and Evan Bell met, many people expressed concern about Evan Bale's Cannes prospects expressed concern

No one knows the details of the meeting between Jill Jacobs and Evan Bell, but the two did meet. Jill Jacob left without much expression, and Evan Bell did not seem to show a happy look, so this " "Break Up" spread like wildfire, immediately adding to the operation of Elliott Carter's scheme.

In Cannes, although Jill Jacobs can't say that he can't cover the sky, he is also inseparable. If he offends Jill Jacobs, then at least he can say goodbye to the Cannes Film Festival. pivotal role

Therefore, the agreement between reporters is like a snowball, and it is getting stronger and stronger. There are definitely not a few media involved in it, but it is only a few hours, even William Wood, Neil Darcy, Chris Fairbanks, etc. The reporters who were marked with the "Evan Bell faction" early on received the relevant news, and even the media who had reserved the exclusive interview were involved.

Now it seems that the situation is out of control, whether or not to support Evan Bell, but the media must consider the future partnership with the Cannes Film Festival Although it is only to interview Evan Bell, it is not that Jill Jacobs will not let the media Landing at the Cannes Film Festival, but the reporters must understand how exaggerated the "unhappy break up" is After making preparations to see Evan Bell, it is not easy to offend Jill Jacobs, the second is that it is convenient to use Evan Bell's words during the interview process. Therefore, now Jill Jacobs and the official media of the Cannes Film Festival have not come forward to make any clarifications, and the reporters who have obtained the interview rights, William Regardless of Wood and others, they had to hold back their eagerness and wait for the changes before making plans.

On the 27th, that is, the day after the premiere of "Perfume", in the early morning, the villa where the "Perfume" crew lived was deserted, and there was no shadow of any media at all, as if you could hear the crickets in the grass The chirping sound is mixed with the sound of the waves hitting the beach and the wind. This kind of quietness appears at the Cannes Film Festival, which is very strange in itself, but it appears around Evan Bell, which adds a touch of strangeness.

Evan Bell naturally knew that the media teamed up to boycott him. It was impossible for William Wood not to tell him about such a big thing, but Evan Bell was not worried at all. When he got up in the morning, he still went to have breakfast obediently. The courtyard can be clearly seen. I heard the voices of Evan Bell and others talking and laughing, let alone Evan Bell, Teddy Bell, Eden Hudson and others did not show the slightest anxiety. Under the fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely"
