What happened in this corner of the spacious hall where Ronan was didn't go unnoticed, and Michael Moore didn't seem to be dying.

"As someone who knows the truth, I have to be responsible. Michael Moore said to Ronan again: "Mr. Anderson, I ask you not to say no yet, please take the time to watch my documentary, it will arouse your sense of social responsibility!"

Ronan was really a little helpless, and by this time, he gradually realized that Michael Moore didn't seem to be messing around, as if he was thinking that he was engaged in a righteous cause.

As Ronan thought, Michael Moore never wavered, considering himself a guardian of freedom of speech and the press, a true freedom fighter and American hero.

Michael Moore has always felt that the camera is the gun in his hand, a freer and more lethal tool.

Ronan didn't intend to entangle with him, and it was useless to say anything to someone who thought he was perfectly right, so he simply said, "Well, Director Moore, if I have time, I'll go to see the premiere of your documentary." ”

Michael Moore shook Ronan's hand hard: "You must come, for the sake of the truth! For the public's right to know! Please don't refuse Fahrenheit 911." ”

Ronan smiled, didn't say anything more, gave Connie a look, and waited for Connie to give her contact information to Michael Moore before leaving.

As she walked to the screening room, Connie whispered, "What if he called?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Find an excuse and push it away." ”

The so-called truth should be left to the person who wants to know the truth.

What does the truth look like that the audience likes?

The daughter of the zipper is unique, I hope to win!

Princess Tangchuan's appearance dominates the screen, and Tangchuan wins steadily!

After the election: The latter slapped the former in the face, fought with my eldest princess, and hit you on the street!

From the very beginning, Ronan had some doubts about "Fahrenheit 911", and even if Michael Moore came to the door, he still made the most conservative choice - refuse!

People will be conservative when they are old, perhaps because the psychological age is indeed older, and Ronan is extremely conservative in this documentary.

At the end of the day, Ronan has so many cards to choose from, and there's no need to choose this one, which is very politically risky.

Entering the theater, Ronan stopped thinking about "Fahrenheit 911" and chatted with Will Smith next to him.

"Is there any hope for the Palme d'Or?" Will Smith held out some illusions: "The chairman of the jury is Quentin's old ruffian, will he be biased?"

The three major European film festivals, the awards are also divided into cakes, and the person with the most power to cut the cake is the chairman of the jury, if the chairman of the jury wants to push a film to win the award, under normal circumstances, as long as the film has a certain quality assurance, the possibility of winning the award is very great.

This is an art film festival, yes, but it is not film art that ultimately determines the award.

Ronan shook his head: "There is not much hope, we have a general relationship with Quentin, and other non-Hollywood judges may not like this kind of American dream movie." ”

If nothing else, Quentin Tarantino will forcefully suppress the opinions of the other judges and push Fahrenheit 911 to win the Palme d'Or.

Quentin is a ruffian who doesn't care too much about what the outside world thinks.

Will Smith sighed, "What about other awards?"

Ronan said directly: "All other awards are put aside, Will, we guarantee the best actor first." ”

"I don't feel like there's much hope. Will Smith shrugged: "This is my first competition in Cannes. ”

Ronan said in a low voice: "It's always a cake, as long as we invest a certain amount of resources, the film festival will definitely consider giving us a piece." ”

Will Smith said with a smile: "The cake I want to get in my hand is called the Palme d'Or." ”

Ronan has no hope for this, a ruffian chairman, what he likes is definitely not the content of the American Dream that is desperately sensational, but the films that can expose the dark reality of society.

Just consider Quentin Tarantino's filming style, and it's not hard to guess his choice.

There are countless inspirational movies around the world, and the wishful thinking of filmmakers shouting for healing stimulates the audience's nerves, but in the end, only a few classics with sincerity and talent remain, and inspirational movies that can stay and become classics must have their own special reasons, such as "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

If "Fahrenheit 911" is the knife that once again uncovers 911, the biggest scar in the United States, then "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a bowl of chicken soup for the soul that can pour people into constant dreams.

This bowl of chicken soup is so delicious that people believe that as long as they persevere, happiness and success will come.

Fortunately, this is only 2004, and Chicken Soup for the Soul is still popular, and if this film is placed in more than ten years, it may hit the streets.

The success of this kind of film is always closely linked to social reality.

If the bubble of the American dream is completely punctured, this kind of chicken soup for the soul movie, the audience will inevitably narrow.

When the anti-chicken soup culture spreads, this kind of film will become synonymous with falsehood, artificiality and sensationalism in the eyes of many people.

Ronan still remembers that when he used to live on the other side of the Taiping, after 2010, many real estate agents, conference-style health care product marketing and even pyramid schemes included "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" as a must-see movie for newcomer training, and its flood level is even comparable to that of "Grateful Heart".

Who would have thought that this film would later be used as a brainwashing tool by many institutions.

Many users on some rating sites who give "When Happiness Knocks" a star have a lot to do with these people.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of those who have been devastated by training, they can't wait to give this film a negative score.

In any case, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has been released, and many sales companies and training institutions will have an additional training tool in the future.

Ronan considered that it was necessary to apply for copyright protection, and that any company or individual who used "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" for training would have to pay a high fee.

There was a time when Ronan watched this film, and his head unconsciously sounded "Grateful Heart" that he was fooled into singing during his first training after graduation.

Chicken soup for the soul is delicious, but if you drink too much, it is easy to poison the whole person.

Hollywood inspirational movies must not be taken seriously, even if the genre is based on real people and real events, half of them can be in line with the facts, even if they are very conscientious.

The basic information of the film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" comes from the oral account of Chris Gardner himself, and only he knows whether there is any fuel and vinegar in it.

Then the material went to the desk of the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment, according to the Hollywood screenwriting principles, and in order to make the film more interesting and meet the requirements of commercial inspirational films, it is inevitable to make drastic adaptations.

A lot of unwarm, irrational, and somewhat dark plots must be eliminated first.

For example, in the profession of a stockbroker, there are too many things that cannot be said.

The final film work will inevitably become a feast prepared by many chefs together and carefully prepared according to the needs of the market.

As for how many spices are used and how many additives are put in it, even those involved in the cooking work can't say clearly.

Therefore, Hollywood inspirational movies, just watch them for entertainment, don't drink them in your mouth, if you are poisoned, Hollywood studios are not responsible for detoxification.

From the perspective of the film alone, this film has considerable quality, although it belongs to the award-winning film, but the content is more commercial, and it will not make the audience feel that the film is boring and unbearable.

What's more, Will Smith in this era comes with an audience effect bonus.

Will Smith was at his peak, and no matter how bad the movie was in his hands, it would become a hit commercial film at the box office.

Ronan knows very well that Will Smith, who has not turned on the "crazy demon mode", is one of Hollywood's most commercially appealing stars.

Even, in this period, Will Smith's commercial appeal is already above Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

"When Happiness Knocks" successfully premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and the crew and Embassy Pictures also began to run the awards in full swing, and being able to get an award from the Cannes Film Festival will definitely help the Hollywood awards season at the end of the year.

Of course, the professional team of Embassy Pictures also saw very clearly, and also strategically abandoned the Palme d'Or, focusing on the two awards of the Jury Prize and Best Actor.

However, Will Smith has a big opponent in the Best Actor award.

The French branch of Embassy Pictures received news that after watching Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911", several European judges proposed that Comrade Xiaobu be listed as a candidate for best actor.

A female judge directly and publicly said: We have indeed seriously considered whether to give Xiaobu the "Cannes Best Actor".

And judging from the reaction of the local French media when "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was released, Will Smith did not have an overwhelming advantage in the competition for best actor.

As expected, the European media basically didn't buy the account of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and most of the evaluations of American Chicken Soup for the Soul were negative.

"It's full of Hollywood-esque cheesiness. All the failures, the degenerates, and all the people at the bottom can get an illusory and superficial spiritual comfort in it. But please be sober, you may not have a shrewd mathematical mind, you may not be good at words, you may be useless, can you still succeed? This kind of Hollywood-style heroism is actually using a kind of coincidental particularity to obscure the universality of life, thus achieving a kind of pseudo-human nature. ”

"This film is to promote and create a pleasant illusion, not to tell the truth, so it can't move people. ”

"A typical American inspirational film, a little fake and a little abusive, very disgusted with this model of the American dream and the dream of success, the scam of modern society, can only make a difficult life more difficult. ”

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door", another Hollywood ploy to promote the so-called American dream!"
