1313 Gains and losses
The day after the premiere, the official Cannes Film Festival catalogue was released, and it only took a glance to clearly feel the rabid praise of "Drunken Country Ballads".
Ten media outlets, four three-star, six four-star.
What exactly is this concept?
4 stars, excellent, 3 stars, good, 2 stars, average, 1 star, poor, zero, terrible.
In other words, three stars is a good review, while four stars is a rarity.
It is for this reason that above the Cannes Film Festival, three points are the difference between masterpieces and masterpieces, and a work with more than three points is bound to attract attention, while two points are the watershed between good and mediocre, above two points at least the average level is maintained, and the closer to three points, the better it is, and less than two points can be considered a regrettable failure.
In the end, "Drunken Country Ballads" was a masterpiece with no bad reviews, and the average score was as high as 3.6 points in the score table with a full score of four points in the field magazine, which equaled the highest score in the history of the house magazine created by "Adele's Life" not long ago, and even the number of three stars and four stars remained completely consistent, which really set off a frenzy.
As a horizontal reference, this year's Cannes Film Festival has officially entered its eighth day, and there are currently only two works that have entered the third division.
This is the official house book score of "Drunken Country Folk Songs"!
"'Drunken Country Folk' deserves more of a Grammy than an Oscar, and the film still has a lot of problems, but the soundtrack is a huge surprise. Emily continued to read the review of the official house book, and this time, they all laughed collectively, "But who can say no to Lanley-Hall?"
"The Daily Telegraph, right? It must be the British Daily Telegraph, and the critic's name is Tim-Robey, right?"
When he first met Lan Li at the Berlin Film Festival, in fact, he had already established his own film blog long before that, but the update was not stable, after that, Mark began to run seriously, and in less than two years, he received an invitation to the Cannes Film Festival, and truly became a self-media film critic.
Emily nodded and looked at Mark in amazement, "How do you know?"
"He's one of the critics who watched the premiere with me yesterday, and when he was done, he sat there with a high/hip/high look, I thought he would give four stars, but I didn't expect to give it only three?
Originally, I was still complaining that the "Drunken Country Ballads" should be all four-star, but as the exchange slowly advanced, the mood and atmosphere became extremely joyful.
Before you know it, more and more people have gathered around, at first it was just four people, but now there are at least twenty or more people, bustling around and scrambling to express their opinions.
Emily's voice couldn't help but become cheerful, "Listen, this comment is the funniest one, right? This is the Bangkok Post' comment, he said......"
"The Coen brothers' film is like a man who went on vacation to Paris and chose to eat McDonald's every night because that's all he knew, so why did he make this movie?" Emily read aloud, trying to make it audible to everyone around her.
Then, the group clapped and laughed.
Purely from the level of the play, "Drunken Country Ballads" is indeed subtraction, and it is still going back and forth on the equation of "one plus one equals two", like a headless fly. Therefore, this comment is not entirely wrong, and it is expressed in a playful and playful way, and only the audience who has actually watched the movie can appreciate the deep meaning.
The crowds gathered opposite the Esplanade Cinema Palace are increasing, not only Emily, but with the distribution of the official house magazine, the discussion about the "drunken folk ballads" is skyrocketing.
Meanwhile, Nathan is reading the same movie review.
Joel Cohen, who was sitting next to him enjoying breakfast, shrugged his shoulders lightly and said with a speechless expression, "yes, why did you shoot it? It's like, we all know that everyone's end is death, so why live?"
After saying that, Joel also rolled his eyes widely, not angry, but complaining, with sharp words.
Ethan Cohen shook his head helplessly and slightly, "Joel, you should allow others to criticize. ”
Joel shrugged his shoulders again exaggeratedly, mimicking the French accent, "Of course, if I allow others to criticize, then the critic should also allow my criticism, that's fair, isn't it?"
The last question mark was said by looking at Lan Li, which made Lan Li chuckle.
However, Lan Li didn't answer positively, but raised his head to look at Nathan, "I thought it should be a two-star or one-star review, are you sure?" Because judging from the content, the other party doesn't like this work.
Nathan directly flipped over the house catalogue, placed it on his chest, showed it to everyone to browse, and said with a confused face, "I don't know, he did give three stars." After a pause, he guessed, "Maybe it's because everyone else gave him a high score, and he's a little embarrassed, right?"
This is obviously impossible. Film critics at film festivals never give soft scores, both high and low.
"Otherwise, it's ...... Wrong print?" Nathan said with his tail note raised high, uncertain.
"Why don't you say it, because he can't refuse Lan Li's charm?" Roy, who was sitting next to him, chimed in, clearly disagreeing with Nathan's wild speculation.
Unexpectedly, Kerry and Joel nodded in agreement, so that Justin, who was eating French fries, almost squirted out the food, and then he realized his faux pas, waved his hand at Lan Li again and again, trying to explain, and looked at Kerry and Joel again and again for help, but because he choked, he couldn't speak at all, and he was really embarrassed.
Lan Li smiled dumbly, deliberately revealed a meaningful look, fell on Justin, and then continued, "Since it's a three-star star, then we will accept it calmly, as for the specific reason, it will be left to the audience to savor." ”
Andy also echoed it, "The critic's point of view, let's just read it, the final judgment and choice, everyone is different, personally, I like this work very, very much, I think it deserves full marks." Aren't there still four-star reviews? Why haven't you heard them?"
Roy, who was sitting diagonally across from him, glanced at Andy with a feeble expression, but Andy glared at Roy fiercely, and then continued to pretend to be fine, and both of them cast their eyes at Nathan.
After yesterday's premiere, Andy was in a state of extreme anxiety, because the film festival still can't be inferred according to common sense after all, lest the "drunken country ballads" will be like last year's "detachment", and the extreme evaluation of ice and fire will be ushered in on the film festival, which is definitely not a good thing for Lan Li.
Although it is said that "detachment" finally won the Oscar nomination, after a whole year of glory last year, more and more eyes fell on Lan Li-
On the one hand, the "Little Golden Man Curse" still lingers, "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Gravity" are the works that Lan Li took over after winning the actor, and everyone is curious about whether the "magic curse effect" exists;
In addition, the conflict between Lanli and Diesel and Weinstein, and the exchange of interests between Lanli and Universal Pictures and Disney all mean that Lanli has now entered the game at a higher level of the pyramid. And the only thing he can use as a bargaining chip is his market value.
"Drunken Country Folk" represents the awards season prospect and the roots of the independent film scene, while "Gravity" represents the commercial prospect and the support of Warner Bros. These two works play an irreplaceable role in the planning and promotion of the future blueprint of Lanli's career.
Because of this, Andy has always had some gains and losses, and last night was like an ant on a hot pan. But at this moment, Andy showed a generous gesture of nonchalance, which really made people complain about their powerlessness.
However, the reason why Roy chose to shut up is because his performance last night was also half a pound and eight taels, which was not much better.
Now, after the official house catalogue was released, Andy and Roy both let out a long breath.
As for the awards, they didn't ask for much.
If it's an awards season, they can do it well through the Academy's PR, but at the festival, it's almost useless, and it's all up to the jury's preferences, unpredictable and unmanageable. Therefore, it is better to have a normal heart and face it calmly.
It's like the 44th Festival de Cannes in 1991.
At that time, the chairman of the jury was the director Roman Polanski, who had filmed classics such as "Chinatown", "The Pianist" and "Rosemary's Baby".
That year, the average quality of the works in the main competition unit was generally mediocre, lacking highlights and surprises. After many days of the festival, it was still not possible to find eye-catching works, and even the news media did not seem to be lively enough.
For this reason, Roman expressed his dissatisfaction in a rage, and privately protested to the chairman of the selection committee at the time, Gilles Jacob, "With such a film list, what do you ask me to choose?"
It wasn't until the penultimate day of the festival that the Coen brothers' "Barton Fink" was officially unveiled, and Roman nodded happily to express his satisfaction, believing that this was the so-called masterpiece.
On the closing ceremony and awards ceremony on the last day, "Barton Fink" swept the three trophies of the Palme d'Or, Best Actor and Best Director, and the Coen brothers officially began their illustrious careers.
Therefore, everyone says that at the Oscars, nominations depend on strength, and awards depend on luck, and this rule is applied to the three major film festivals in Europe, which is even more worthy of the name.
For "Drunken Country Ballads", the highest score in the history of the official house magazine, this is enough!
