"Do you see what that horse symbolizes?"

"How could I not see it?"

"So, what exactly is the story in this movie?"

"Anyway, you foreigners should like it very much. ”

"Ha, you can't say that, don't you like it?"

"Of course I like it, actually, it can't be said to be perfect, but at least this movie is very careful. ”

"Wow, I love the use of your word. ”

"It's not easy in our China, forget it, you don't understand it as a foreigner, so I won't tell you more, let me ask directly, how many points are you going to give this movie?"

"Hey, it's not for me to decide, we're democratic, and everyone has to make a lot of comments before it is finally decided. ”

"Hah...... Don't fool the ghosts. ”

"It's true! Long live democracy in France!"

"Okay, if I don't entangle you with this, then tell me yourself, how much do you want to give?"

"Hmm...... At least 3 points or more. ”

Teacher Ah Cheng and Fang Dan watched this "Fireworks in the Day", and they really have too much to talk about.

From human nature, to lust, to the horse.

But in the end, it's still very realistic, how much can you give "Screen" magazine?

Fang Dan is not stupid, jokes can be made, but this kind of thing of their meal must not be ambiguous.

However, after saying goodbye to Teacher Ah Cheng, Fontaine couldn't sleep when he went back.

After all, Fontaine is an editor, engaged in literary and artistic work, writing his own manuscripts and reading other people's manuscripts.

But this time "Fireworks in the Day" really left too deep an impression on him.

Although the issue of ratings needs to be discussed with others, it is still appropriate to write a film review.

So, it was written in a sprinkled manner, as if it was like a flood, and it couldn't be stopped at all.

Fontaine's angle is very sharp and direct.

Xing is the greatest source of happiness for human beings.

That's right, the French, it's so simple and straightforward.

A film review is like a little yellow text, and it is really hard to write.

Of course, Fontaine didn't portray the film as that kind of film, in fact, the film was too conservative in the eyes of the French.

didn't show anything at all, if the Ferris wheel was more exciting, simply show the real figures of the two, this is art.

Well, Fontaine this guy is definitely purely French.

After the film review was written, there was no rush to publish it, you know, no matter how people say it, he is also the editor of "Screen", and this article is going to be published in a magazine, of course, there is a website.

"Screen" is the official house programme of the Cannes Film Festival.

The Cannes Film Festival, to tell the truth, is more lined up than the Berlin and Venice Film Festivals.

This festival has the most room books, not only the "screen", but also many other magazines, and even many people from the international community to comment.

For example, this year, a team of filmmakers from Argentina is preparing to participate in the International Film Critics' Week.

However, "The Screen" has the highest status, so naturally it can't talk nonsense.

Of course, in most cases, it is indeed happening that it is difficult for high-scoring films to win the Palme d'Or, and the result is that the big hit will die.

So what about now?

The next day.

Fontaine gathered his subordinates, who had all been sent out before, and the task was to watch the movie, come back to write a movie review, and discuss the rating.

And this Cannes Film Festival, Chinese films are relatively early to meet everyone.

So, what is the result?

"Let's talk about it. "Fontaine is an expression of democracy in France.

A black guy was the first to say, "I watched "Martial Arts" so uncomfortable, and the fights were very good, but the end was ...... Ahhh ”

This black dude, everyone in the magazine knows that he is a fool.

After all, in France, there are not many black employees in a company, which is not good.

But this guy likes to be lazy on weekdays.

Let's put it this way, the French themselves are already very lazy, but they still think that this black guy is lazy, how lazy will he be?

Therefore, everyone shook their heads at his words.

"What the hell are you talking about? ”

"Just, tell me about it. ”

In the face of everyone's doubts, the black guy looked sad and indignant, "Don't bully me!" What I said was the real feeling, that is, the movie was unbelievable. Guess what's going on in the end? Ah, I've never seen an ending like this, no, it's not that I haven't seen it, but this ending is so weird, it doesn't match the previous plot at all, right...... Well, can you imagine? Originally, the two of them had a fierce fight, but in the end, the wicked man was killed by thunder. ”

Struck by lightning, this ......

"Haha...... No way!"

"yes, how could you shoot like that. ”

"It's completely funny, isn't it, how can you use this method? This kind of accident as the ending, does the director make everyone laugh again?"

Many people don't believe it, and Fontaine himself doesn't believe it either, because this martial arts movie is also made by a well-known director.

He is a good friend of Mr. Ah Cheng, and Mr. Ah Cheng has cooperated with many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, and this "Martial Arts" is the work of the well-known Hong Kong director Chen Kexin.

It can't be like this.

Actually, there is a simple logic involved in this.

As far as a story is concerned, whether it is a comedy, a movie, or as far as the ending is concerned, even if you don't want the protagonist to defeat the final boss and design something new.

Then try not to use unexpected situations.

Because it's very simple, isn't this unexpected appearance telling readers or viewers that everything before is actually useless?

Anyway, as the author, I just have to let this guy die, and he'll die.

No matter how justified this accident was arranged, it was useless.

And one more key, what about the main character?

What does the protagonist do?

But now, this "Martial Arts" has made such a mistake.

Of course, maybe director Chen Kexin wants to make some innovations, but this innovation is really not a good attempt.

The "Screen" magazine laughed for a long time before it subsided.

"I watched "Snowflake Secret Fan" and I felt good, but it was just good. ”

There's a white woman who comes to comment on this movie, she's a woman, and she should have a special opinion on this movie.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

"How?"

"Yes, what I saw were two Asian royal sisters. ”

"They're all beautiful. ”

The female reporter thought for a moment and said: "I feel that in the end, there is still no real release, that is, it is not as good as "Brokeback Mountain", but she does not dare to make any breakthroughs! This may have something to do with some of China's censorship requirements." ”

Don't really say it, this woman is very powerful, and she knows about our domestic censorship.

contacted "Brokeback Mountain", which shows that this woman is still quite professional.

But if this "Snowflake Secret Fan" wants to be released in our country, of course, it can't make that kind of lily thing.

So, from a Western point of view, or from the point of view of this white woman, she felt that it was not bold enough.

Or to put it simply, no guts!

There is no way around it.

In fact, this "Snowflake Secret Fan" is invested by Huayi, and Huayi must not invest in films that cannot be released.

The female version of "Brokeback Mountain" is not enough for Brokeback.

Well, let's go over this movie.

After that, there was another one, "The Favorite".

"I think the acting is very good, this movie is so good, Zhang Ziyi is also very good, she is really good at acting, the protagonists in it, I checked it before, it seems that all of them are big stars in China, they are all amazing. ”

The movie "Favorite" was watched by a white guy.

He praised for a while, but soon someone refuted it.

"I think it's a little weird. ”

A movie that more than one person watched, and it was a young Asian who said it.

So, what's weird about it?

"I can't say it, but it just feels weird, really. ”

It's funny, this man can't even tell what's strange.

Could it be a sunspot?

Of course, there is no need for this, how the movie is, they just give a rating and review, and they don't decide the final award.

The man thought about it for a long time, but in the end there was no result.

"I really think it's weird, but I can't really put it into words, I can't even describe the strange feeling. ”

Turns out "The Favorite" is a weird movie?

But the man still said: "Actually, the story in the movie is very good, especially in some places, which is very ironic. At least, as I know the situation in China, that's how it is, it's really ironic. ”

It seems that this person still understands Chinese culture very well.

In that case, let's pass this movie for the time being.

Then, there is the film "Fireworks in the Day".

Fontaine directly showed everyone the movie review he wrote, and then came to a sentence.

"I think it's a minimum of three points. ”

In the "Screen" magazine, there was a lot of discussion.

……

This year's film festival is less than two weeks away.

Of course, there are many units, but at the moment, everyone is paying attention to the ratings of each field magazine.

Especially for Chinese journalists who come from afar, what will be the rating of our Chinese films?

And, most crucially, how many films will be shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes?

Just anxiously waiting, the results came out.

The first is the shortlists.

"Only one Chinese film has been shortlisted for the main competition!"

""Fireworks in the Day" has become the only seedling!"

""Martial Arts", "Snow Secret Fan" and "Favorite" all failed!"

"How is it possible? "The Favorite" is a star-studded literary movie!"

Only "Fireworks in the Day" was shortlisted, and there was only one such one.

The news spread in an instant among Chinese journalists in Cannes because it was so unexpected.

It's not that "Fireworks in the Day" shouldn't be shortlisted, but what about "The Favorite"?

You know, forget about the other two movies, if you don't enter, you won't enter.

But "Favorite" is a blockbuster with whatever you want.

There are stories, famous directors, and big stars.

Or even an all-star cast.

But as a result, he was not shortlisted for the main competition unit!

What the hell is going on?

Then, the ratings came out.

"Fireworks in the Day" 3.5 points!

This is the highest score of any movie so far!
