After reviewing the manuscript again and confirming that it was correct, Sean Levy uploaded the manuscript to the official website of "Empire" magazine as soon as possible.

As front-line film critics, they have to race against time, every minute is precious, if he had followed the usual schedule, he would have returned to the hotel non-stop, washed and slept, and recuperated for tomorrow's work, but today, the work has been completed, and Sean is not the slightest sleepy.

Sitting in the seat and holding up the beer, the picture of "drunken country ballad" always comes to mind involuntarily again.

For Sean, "Drunken Country Ballad" is a flawless movie, but it has a profound aftertaste.

Not only because of the script or the cinematography or the performance, but because of the unique temperament that exudes after every detail is completely put together, poetic and moving, light and profound, wonderful and sad, but what is even more commendable is that the stamina and reflection after the end of the film are really beyond imagination.

Now, it seems that the melodious folk melody is echoing in my ears again, and when you close your eyes, you can go back to Greenwich Village in the sixties, with its clean and misty streets, poor but kind people, and the losers who sang with guitars in their shoulders between bars, but they were happy.

Sean was a little curious, what were the opinions of other film critics on the official house catalogue of the Cannes Film Festival?

……

As the world's largest film market, the Cannes Film Festival's official house programme system is also intricate.

Some films have been watched by the market before the official premiere, and all the rights have been sold out, which also makes the expectations of journalists and film critics continue to rise, while for some works, on the contrary, after the premiere, the market will react further after the reviews from reporters and film critics are hot.

In addition, the official film review list can be divided into a number of categories, one is the French media and the European media led by the "Cinema Handbook", one is the mainstream media in the United Kingdom and the United States, the other is the Latin American media led by Mexico, this one is also known as the Apitsa list, and the other is the three separate media in East Asia.

Each list has its own special reference significance.

Relevant marketers in South American markets such as Brazil or Argentina are naturally more willing to refer to their own "Apicha list" when buying rights, while when considering the Oscar for the best foreign language film seed contestants, the list of British and American media is the correct reference object, and the score of the "film manual" does not have much reference value.

It is precisely because of this that the Chinese media is often prone to bias when reporting on the Cannes Film Festival.

For example, they reported that a work was a big hit in Cannes and won a high score in the field magazine, but when the final award results came out, this work did not win the award, but another mediocre work won the award, so everyone was full of question marks, "What's going on?" and then shouted "shady", and even a large area of unevenness.

The premise is that the three major European film festivals are jury systems, and the personal aesthetic taste of the judges is the key to determining the attribution of the awards.

But even aside, the aesthetic tastes and house magazine ratings vary from country to country, and when reading news reports, it is important to recognize that this is the list of each region. The simplest and most intuitive example is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which is serious in countless British and American media, this is the best Chinese martial arts movie since the new century, but for Chinese audiences, this is a masterpiece, but it is not necessarily the best one.

Therefore, if you want to see the flowers in the fog outside the wall, then you must keep your eyes open, otherwise you will still be an outsider after all.

However, there is only one official room catalogue among the many house book ratings of the Cannes Film Festival.

Every year, there are countless journalists who come to Cannes, and every year the festival official selects ten film critics, representing different regions and different media views.

In other words, the official house catalogue emphasizes an average.

This year, a total of 10 media outlets received invitations to form a media rating panel for the official catalogue from France's "Release/Release" and "Feature Film" magazines, the UK's "Sight & Sound", "Daily Telegraph" and "Screen" magazines, the "Los Angeles Times" in the United States, the "Medusa" magazine in Russia, the "Die Zeit" magazine in Germany, the "Cinema Newspaper" magazine in Japan, and the "Bangkok Post" in Thailand.

Each media outlet will send an authoritative professional film critic to act as a representative to rate the film, the highest four-star and the lowest sporadic star, and if you miss the premiere, they are allowed to miss the first screening, and every day, they must update their ratings in a timely manner, and ensure that the official house book is released in time for the next morning.

However, this is only for the main competition unit of the house journal rating group, a kind of attention unit, director fortnight unit, etc. are not in the scope of comment scoring.

Early in the morning, Emily got up in a daze under the urging of the alarm clock, but her brain was still in a trance vacuum, even after brushing her teeth and washing her face, there was still not much improvement, and after a small cup of espresso entered her stomach, she was slightly sober.

However, she was so excited last night that she lost track of time while standing in the tavern and chatting with her peers, and she had only slept for more than four hours, and now she felt like she could fall asleep standing up, like a foal.

"God! Lan Li-Hall is exploding! Lan Li-Hall is exploding!"

There was a scream of excitement in her ears, and in an instant, Emily struck a thrill, walked forward quickly, and asked energetically, "Is it Levine-Davis?"

"Yes, yes, yes! God, I really love movies!" The other party didn't care that Emily was a complete stranger, and couldn't wait to start sharing, handing over the official house catalogue with the scent of ink in his hand.

The Cinema Catalogue is a table of quadrant lists, with the titles of the films listed in chronological order on the vertical axis and the names of magazines and critics arranged randomly in the horizontal axis.

Before the festival officially opens, the form is already printed out, leaving blanks to be filled, so every day you only need to scan the star rating sign at the bottom row to see the specific score of the latest film.

Emily stepped forward, took the official house book, and quickly came to the bottom row, a simple glance, and then couldn't help but start screaming, "Boom! Boom! Ahhhh

The three strange friends who were having a heated discussion just now also laughed happily.

"I said that this movie is going to be a hit in Cannes. The French press absolutely loved it. ”

"I was worried that the United States wouldn't like it too much, but now it seems that the Los Angeles Times is still stable, and I don't know what the prospects for next year's Oscars will be. ”

"I was most surprised by Germany, where the Die Zeit gave it four out of four stars, God, I thought they didn't understand folk songs or poetry. Don't tell me that philosophy is part of poetry, and don't tell me anything about history, Berlin and Cannes just don't taste the same. ”

"What's going on with the Russian and Thai media?

The chatter discussion was endless, and unconsciously, the number of people participating in the discussion was increasing, and all Emily's sleepiness was suddenly swept away, and she beckoned to the friends she had just met, "Don't care about these details, let's just look at the detailed comments." To be honest, I've been worried that the British media won't like it......"

"Impossible!" the three of them shouted in unison, and the uniform voice was really too loud, which startled Emily fiercely, and the four of them couldn't help but look at each other, slightly stunned, and then laughed collectively.

One of the tall, skinny boys said, "The British press is crazy about the blue rites right now, okay? Yesterday when I was watching the premiere, I sat with a couple of British film critics, and they were already shaking their hands with excitement, and people who didn't know thought they were alcoholic." ”

In the midst of the complaints, Emily opened the house catalogue and quickly began to flip through it, and there was a urging voice in her ears, "Read it out, read it directly, we haven't had time to read it in detail just now." ”

Emily didn't hesitate and read aloud, "The Coen brothers consciously cut back on the narrative and focused all the camera on Levine-Davis, who treated the character with no doubt gentleness and gentlemanliness, inviting every viewer to follow in his footsteps as he wandered around Greenwich Village in the sixties, and then began to wonder: Why could this man be such a bastard and die unrepentant?"

"God!"

Before Emily could finish reading, everyone began to roll their eyes collectively, and a look of hatred for iron and steel began to curse.

"Did he even get it?" "He didn't understand it at all, okay?" "If Levine was all a jerk, what would Ray Charles do?" "It's so stupid to make such a comment to be on the house board?"

"Wait, wait, it's not over yet. Emily raised her voice, stopping everyone from complaining, and continued, "But the problem is that you can't take your eyes off the man. Because you will find in him the vulnerability and pain that you have. As much as I don't want to admit it, Ranley-Hall has done it again. ”

A smile gradually bloomed at the corners of her mouth, and Emily read aloud, "This is a comment from Mr. Anton-Dolin from the Russian magazine 'Medusa', who gave three stars." ”

By the way, the house journal score of "Drunken Country Folk Songs", 3.6.
