Chapter 921: Extraordinarily Competitive [4/4]
The timing of the release of "The Lord of the Rings" is really unfortunate, and it just happened to coincide with the Cannes Film Festival.
If it was last year or next year, then it has nothing to do with Zhang Chu. It is precisely this year that several of his film adaptations will be exhibited here!
A new book is insignificant compared to a high-profile movie and doesn't attract much attention at all.
If it weren't for Zhang Chu's own fame, I'm afraid the news of "The Lord of the Rings" would have been drowned in the vast sea!
Fans and netizens have limited attention, and they will pay more attention to movie news than book works.
What's more, "Farewell My Concubine" is so competitive!
In the last century, Chinese films have made a lot of achievements in the three major film festivals, but in the new century, especially after the 2010s, the market capacity of Chinese films has continued to increase, and it is already the second largest box office in the world.
It was not easy to be shortlisted for one of the three major film festivals, and the awards won were even more sporadic.
The movies of several neighboring countries next door are booming, Thai works have been well received, and East Asian and Japanese and Korean masterpieces have been produced one after another, and now "Farewell My Concubine" has won a record high score directly on the field magazine!
After this news was reported by domestic entertainment media, almost all netizens were boiling!
They didn't know that this magazine was actually separate from the Cannes Film Festival jury, they just thought it was an official evaluation, and the media that rated it were all famous.
Who would dare to say that Times and the Los Angeles Times are pheasant media?
"As soon as Director Xu made a move, he knew if there was one!"
"I have to say, Zhang Chu's writing is good, and Director Xu Ji is strong, this strong combination is good!"
"I strongly called on Director Xu not to retire, to take good care of his body, and make two more movies to wash the eyes of the big guys. ”
"Awesome, but 3.8 points is the first, if this is the whole 4.5 points, what should I do?"
"With such a high score, does it mean that you can basically be sure of winning the prize?"
"Ahhhh I feel uncomfortable watching it, and I don't know what the movie is like. ”
"When can I watch it in China?"
"Zhang Chu is awesome, this kind of realism can be written well. I really don't know why no one treats him, many awards in China have ignored him, and there are only Jingdong Books and Dangdang Books left to give him awards. ”
On the hot topics and hot search lists, the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" is much higher than that of "The Lord of the Rings".
Many netizens who don't know what is going on know when they see the comments below that it turns out that this widely acclaimed movie in Cannes actually has an original book, and it was written by Zhang Chu!
The young man who wrote "Ghost Blows the Lantern" and "The Legend of Wukong" actually wrote an essay on this theme?
Netizens who realized it afterwards couldn't help but praise Zhang Chu a little, this ability to switch between different types of literature is very outstanding.
"Wow, after reading the comments, I realized that the screenwriter and original book of this movie are Zhang Chu?
"I haven't read these books written by Zhang Chu before, but they are so well written, it seems that they have to be made up. ”
"It's amazing, it's amazing! I'm also a college student, and I'm already walking the red carpet in Cannes, and I'm still picking my feet in front of the computer. ”
"Aha, do you have sharp-eyed friends? Who is the woman who chatted with Zhang Chu on the Internet, only a little bit of her side face, and she can't see what she looks like. ”
"I heard that the magic rings have been sold to Cannes, Zhang Chu should also bring "Farewell My Concubine" over, there will definitely be a lot of connections!"
In the screening hall of 1,000 people, when someone used their mobile phones to take photos of the crew members, Zhang Chu in the corner was also in the camera, but Leia in the back was not photographed, which made Zhang Chu's fans regretful.
There hasn't been a scandal for so long, they wish Zhang Chu could find a girl, so that they don't abuse the master anymore under a happy life!
Looking at what he wrote, few of the protagonists' emotional paths are smooth sailing.
The feelings in "The Legend of Wukong" want to vomit blood, Cheng Dieyi killed herself in "Farewell My Concubine", the heroine committed suicide in "Norwegian Wood", and the heroine did not appear in the first part of "The Lord of the Rings", but there was an elf princess in Aragon as his girlfriend.
Many readers think that Zhang Chu himself has no girlfriend and does not let the protagonist have a good time.
The fans of the rest of the stars hate scandals the most, and they hate anyone of the opposite sex who can have a relationship with idols.
Only Zhang Chu's fans are as wonderful as idols, as a reader's life, I am worried about my parents, and I can't wait to give him a Lalang match and help him go on a blind date!
In fact, it's just because these fans don't pay much attention to Zhang Chu's personal life, but like the works he writes.
However, now the focus is on movies and works, and there are no frontal photos, so everyone will turn to other things after a coax, which is the benefit of the highly developed entertainment industry.
In addition to the film's great popularity in Cannes, Zhang Chu's "The Lord of the Rings" actually appeared on a handful of media reports and online sales by virtue of the signing in Cannes, and the English version actually reached the top in France!
The physical book of The Lord of the Rings in English sold on Amazon is close to the championship line in itself, and the more than 1,000 books he signed at Cannes and many sales purchased online after hearing or seeing the news have helped to add to that magical amount.
As a result, "The Da Vinci Code", which has been the champion in France for more than 20 weeks, was actually taken down by Zhang Chu's own book, and it was not the French version!
Creation makes people.
This is also the first time that the English version of "The Lord of the Rings" has won the championship in a major country where the official language is not English!
Next to it, Germany is unfortunately in third place, and Spain and Italy are both in the top five.
The United Kingdom and the United States are naturally champions without suspense, but the sales time is a bit short, and now only the kind of readers who swallow dates will finish reading the content, so the number of reviews is not too much.
It is estimated that in the middle and late stages of the Cannes Film Festival, the first batch of readers and book reviewers who get the book will give more accurate feedback, rather than the kind that dares to evaluate after reading a few words.
Now the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" is far from reaching its peak, and many people are waiting for the book review to appear, wanting to see what the first batch of crab eaters have to say, what is the content of the book, whether it is good or not, and whether it is worth spending money to buy?
At this time, the "Chinese Bridge" program team unexpectedly rubbed Zhang Chu's popularity, and posted a message on the official Weibo: "He can write songs, write scripts, and is also an internationally renowned best-selling author, the theme song of the Chinese Bridge Chinese Proficiency Competition for World College Students "Chinese Words" will be released on major music platforms on May 15, Yanjing time, guess who he is?"
