The house catalogue is not a place for the judges of the Festival de Cannes to express their opinions and comments, and it is a matter of confidentiality that no one can disclose their attitude until the final prize is awarded.

In fact, this is no different from various film critics and weather vanes, but the writer has more international influence.

Generally speaking, the house magazine is a group of eight to twelve media film critics, these film critics come from France, Italy, Germany, Thailand, Russia, Britain and the United States, Japan and South Korea, most of them are "Time", "Daily Mail", "Los Angeles Times", "Empire", "Sight & Sound", "Feature Film" and other professional media!

There is no domestic media that can enter the rating of the field magazine.

They are divided into five grades from one fork to four stars, and finally calculate an average score as the final score of the film in the long press.

However, this score is not set in stone, there may be film critics who give a three-star after the first view, but a four-star after two more looks, this score can be modified by the film critics themselves, so it will fluctuate.

Of course, this is only a score given by a film critic, which can only represent his personal taste, and does not represent the quality of the film.

Now that Zhang Chu saw that the score of the house catalogue of "Farewell My Concubine" had reached a score of 3.8, it was no wonder that the people at the open-air bar couldn't help but exclaim.

At first glance, this score may seem a bit low, but the full score of the house magazine is only 4 points, and if only one critic gives one less star, then it may fall to the bottom.

Some films are controversial, with a lot of perfect scores and one star, and there are even X.

Four stars is perfect, three stars is good, two stars are average, one star is bad, and X is bad!

Not really bad movies, X is generally not going to appear.

The American "Time" magazine gave four stars, "Farewell My Concubine is the best Chinese movie in the past two decades, and it is a touching epic work!"

The New York Times also has film critics in Cannes, also four stars!

"This is a new peak in the history of Chinese film, and it is also a masterpiece in the history of Chinese film. From the script to the acting, it's perfect to the extreme. Some people say that this is the Chinese version of Gone with the Wind, no, it is the unique overlord Farewell My Concubine!"

Critics gave four stars to Empire's best-selling film magazine, saying: "This film deeply excavates Chinese cultural history and human nature, with gorgeous images and a delicate plot." ”

"Sight and Hearing" is a magazine that studies film theory and history, evaluates contemporary films, and is the most cinematic magazine.

This old magazine is very strict and rarely gave movies four stars in the past, but today it is an exception!

"Farewell My Concubine has a historic resonance and shock, which makes people's blood boil. Cheng Dieyi, played by Zhang Guorong, runs through this endless heartbreak story. In the play, Cheng Dieyi's frustration in her artistic career is deeply touching and fascinating in terms of performance. ”

Four stars for the Daily Mail!

Los Angeles Times Four Stars!

Le Figaro four stars!

There are a total of 10 media outlets in this year's house magazine, and nine of them have given full four-star reviews!

Only the authoritative French magazine "Cinema Manual", which has a more discerning taste, gave three stars, "This is a fairly mature art film, and the performances of the leading actors give people a glimpse of what a perfect performance is." However, the background in the movie is unfamiliar to audiences who do not know the modern history of China. ”

The worst is also Samsung!

Although it is now the only film that has been screened, even if the rest of the films in the competition are screened together, this score will hardly be broken.

Although there is no mention of the screenwriter or the original author in these comments, Zhang Chu is still very happy.

He took the magazine in his hand and was about to go back to his room to change his clothes and makeup, Zhou Kang was already posting > but just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of several reporters drinking coffee talking in whispers.

"A score of 3.8? This seems to be the highest score in the history of the Cannes house magazine, right?"

"That's right, last year's "Adele's Life" set a new record with a score of 3.7, and this year I didn't expect to be recreated by a Chinese movie. ”

"Have any of you booked a screening of Farewell My Concubine? I'd love to go in and see what kind of work it is!"

Zhang Chu didn't know in advance that 3.8 points was already the highest score given by the field magazine, and he was in a good mood now.

It's just that isn't this "Adele's Life" exactly the movie starring Léa?

It seems that the actress witnessed the birth of a classic in film history!

Taking the elevator to the 15th floor, there were already two people busy in Zhang Chu's suite.

No celebrity will wear the same dress to attend two occasions, not to mention that Dior can't wait for Zhang Chu to change ten sets a day.

"Now the media is too fast. The house magazine has just been released, and the domestic news has already been released. In the past, this would have been delayed for a long time. Zhou Kang took an iPad and said, "It's a pity that there is no report about you in it." ”

Zhang Chu replied as he walked towards the bathroom: "This is a matter in the film industry, and the screenwriter has little attention. ”

"Not necessarily. Now that "Farewell My Concubine" is famous all over the world, Random House has been calling to inquire about the English version. Earlier, I recommended the book to them, but I didn't like the bad translation, the readers didn't buy it, and so on, and now I rushed to ask about it. ”

Zhou Kang is finally raising his eyebrows now, and he added excitedly: "After the word-of-mouth of the movie came out, Nanhai Publishing Company has announced that it will print 500,000 more copies, and then it will be reprinted according to market conditions." ”

One movie is enough to bring the original book to life.

Not to mention the movies that are already very popular and can leave a name in film history, this bonus effect is even higher!

This year's book market is destined to be shrouded in a name called Zhang Chu.

"The Lord of the Rings" has just been released, and in addition to the pre-sale, it has sold more than 500,000 copies in two days, leaving its competitors far behind.

Now that "Farewell My Concubine" is making a comeback, if the film of the same name can win at the Cannes Film Festival, it is very likely that even Zhang Chu's own "Lord of the Rings" will be overturned from the charts.

Not to mention that there is also "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" in the summer, the first trailer released by this movie has a very good reputation among the audience, even picky fans of the original work can't find any loopholes, and the degree of restoration is very high!

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" takes the road of a commercial film, and if its quality is good, the box office can reach one billion or even two billion yuan.

This audience is much stronger than "Farewell My Concubine".

After Zhou Kang thought about it, he couldn't help but mourn in silence for the rest of the works.

If Zhang Chu's new book wants to win the championship, even if the old book that has been released for a year or two has to reach the top again, it will not give them a way to live at all!
