"Education has always been a tried-and-true subject in film. In the matter of education www.biquge.info the audience is most likely to be incited by crude revolt and one-sided victory. Whether it is "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" last year, or "Dead Poets Society" earlier, they have all won in the theme of criticizing the current education system.

The targets of these films are the same, nothing more than rigid leadership, rigid teaching, and even the appearance of the villains, the tone of speech, and the gestures are exactly the same. What's more, in the assembly line-like plot setting, there will definitely be such a positive character who is rare in a thousand years, and he can easily save those who are usually called rotten wood and cannot be carved from fire and water, which is too magical, it is simply boring and obscene......"

Reading this, Jia Niliang couldn't read it anymore, and scolded: "****'s "Screen", such a good movie only gives one star, and it is so excessive!" He really couldn't figure it out, after the premiere last night, the audience's response was obviously very enthusiastic, how could the venue give such a low evaluation.

Although several students in Zhang Ran's class know that "Three Fools" is a commercial film, Zhang Ran has already won the Golden Lion last year, and there is little hope of winning another award, but they still hope to win something in Venice this time. So as soon as the festival program came out, they ran to grab a copy, but they didn't expect it to be a slap in the face.

"What's the average score?" Zhang Ran asked.

"2.2 points, now we are in the bottom of the table. Jia Niliang was even more angry when he saw the film critic's score, "These bullshit film critics are deliberate, they are just blind!"

Among the several films that are now being released, French director Patrice Chahou's "The Death of Love" ranks first with 3.6, Ang Lee's "Broken Arm Mountain" ranks second with 3.4, George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" ranks third with 3.1, and "Three Fools" is currently the penultimate one.

Jia Niliang knows that movies are not money, it is impossible for everyone to love them, no matter how good the movie is, you can't find people you don't like, and it's normal for some critics to dislike "Three Fools". But the score of the house magazine is only 2.2, the penultimate one, which is really a bit excessive.

Cao Bingkun and the others were also angry, and couldn't help but criticize the house magazine: "It's only 2.2?

"These bastards, it's just random scoring, and there is a problem with the level of appreciation!"

"Why? It's too much!"

"Let's be calm, isn't it just the first place for the time being! It is normal for commercial films to get low scores, and film critics' scores are sometimes very extreme. Zhang Ran was indignant when he saw Jia Niangliang, and comforted them with a smile.

Zhang Ran has seen most of the movies in the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival this time, Trim's "Brothers Grimm" and Takeshi Kitano's "Double-Faced Takeshi Kitano" are all famous bad movies, although "Three Fools" was given a low score by film critics, but the quality is not too much of a problem, and it will definitely not be the penultimate first.

"It's too low, but yesterday the audience reacted very well and everyone liked it. Why?!" Bai Ling was puzzled.

"Let me ask you, have you seen the Italian movie "Life is Beautiful", what do you think?"

"It's so touching, I cry once I watch it!"

"Do you know what the MTC rating of 'Life is Beautiful' is? 59 points? Why is this happening? Because many critics think that such a serious subject matter can be used as a joke? Some people criticize the film for using the methods of Hollywood commercial films. So critics didn't like the film. Similarly, Ang Lee's "Broken Arm Mountain" was returned by Cannes because he made a purely commercial film "Hulk" after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which in the eyes of some people is depravity and surrender to business! Receiving a bad review is expected!" Zhang Ran looked at his watch, and the agreed interview time was almost up, "Okay, the time is coming, let's leave quickly!"

Not only the house magazine, but many European media have given "Three Fools" a bad review, especially the media that are biased towards art films, and have expressed their disappointment.

"Film Handbook" is simply sad about Zhang Ran's "depravity", and wrote in the article: ""The Aviator" witnessed the birth of a genius director, and "Three Fools" let us see the fall of genius. Zhang Ran showed great control in "The Aviator", full of imagination, and the calm and atmospheric shots were eye-catching, and even Bergman praised them endlessly, and everyone was saying that the future master was on the road. But "Three Fools" gave everyone a slap in the face, the talented genius was gone, and there was only a mediocre craftsman. ”

Le Figaro commented: "The Three Fools is the most disappointing film of the Venice Film Festival. Zhang Ran is very ambitious, and he has integrated too many things into the movie, education, social system, suicide, etc., and he wants to express it in the form of comedy. The whole movie is completely out of control, the comedy part is too contrived, and the places that should be discovered are brushed aside, which seems to be full of ingenuity. ”

"Empire" also considered "Three Fools" to be a disappointing work, and except for the long shot at the end that showed the talented Zhang Ran, the whole film was lackluster and lacked enough passion. At the end of the article, the author writes: "We all thought that Bergman's successor appeared, but what we were waiting for was another Mirko Manchevsky!"

In 1994, there were two films with a circular structure that left their names in film history, one was "Pulp Fiction" and the other was "The Rainstorm is Coming"; "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or, and "The Rainstorm is Coming" won the Golden Lion. "The Rainstorm is Coming" is Mirko Manchewski's first film, and the whole film is made calmly and atmosphericly, and many people think that he will grow up to be a master of the new generation. Eleven years have passed, however, Mirko Manchevsky has never produced a satisfactory work, and the new generation of masters has become a joke.

The review of "Empire" was agreed by many people, who seemed to Zhang Ran to really resemble Mirko Manchevsky, and the so-called heir of the master was nothing more than a joke.

The media in North America is different from Europe, they have no prejudice against Hollywood, otherwise the MTC and Rotten Tomatoes scores of "Spider-Man 2" would not be higher than that of "The Shawshank Redemption". Although their evaluation of "Three Fools" is not as good as "The Aviator", it is basically a positive review.

The evaluation of "Variety" is typical: "The theme of "Three Fools" is not new, it is a campus comedy, the story is simple, vivid and interesting. But Zhang Ran, who made a masterpiece like "The Aviator", is obviously not willing to make a purely funny movie, and the whole movie reflects many of China's social problems: the education system, the suicide rate, the gap between the rich and the poor, and so on. Especially at the end of the movie, Zhang Ran asked the movie's villain Zhang Zichen to look at the audience for ten seconds, breaking the frame and communicating directly with the audience face-to-face. It makes the audience have to think about what kind of education is correct, and even have to think about how people should live!"

The domestic media almost overwhelmingly gave praise to the cramming education model in China for many years, resulting in the phenomenon of high scores and low ability, and the domestic education community is also reflecting on this problem and carrying out corresponding reforms. "Three Fools", a film that opposes cramming education, has natural political correctness, and Zhang Ran originally made it well, so he naturally won a full house.

The reporters sent back to China one after another, simply praising "Three Fools" to the sky, "Sensational Venice", "Igniting the Water City", "China's "Dead Poets Society" and similar titles are extremely eye-catching, and these reports immediately ignited the enthusiasm of fans as soon as they came out.

"My Zhang Ran is so handsome, it seems that he is going to win an award again this time!"

"I'm not surprised at all, I watched the drama "Three Fools", and I cried and laughed when I watched it. Movies are Zhang Ran's strength, there will definitely be no problem, I am optimistic that Zhang Ran will win the award!"

If there is a share, there is black, if it is really unanimously praised, then people who want to be black can't be black. But "Three Fools" is obviously not, and soon someone jumped out: "Don't blow it, domestic newspapers are all written blindly, you go to the official website to see for yourself, the field magazine score is only 1.4, and now it ranks first from the bottom, it is obvious that "Three Fools" is a bad movie." Let's still look at Ang Lee, now "Broken Arm Mountain" ranks second!"

Zhang Ran's fans quit: "If the Chinese media says it's good, you don't believe it, and if the foreign media says it's bad, you can believe it? The foreign media is your father, and I think you're still a rotten person! What else will Ang Lee shoot besides filming gay? Get out!"

"That's Zhang Yimou's fan, who came here on purpose to stir up trouble!"

At half past seven in the evening, Zhang Ran took Jia Milk Liang and them to St. George's Island by boat to participate in the "China Night" cocktail party held by the General Administration and the Film Channel on the beach of St. George Island in order to celebrate China's centennial.

The Chinese Night held a press conference in the afternoon, and it had a special significance and attracted a lot of attention. Before eight o'clock, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the beach cocktail party, which was extremely lively. Mark Mueller, the chairman of the festival, brought the manager and other important people to the beach early, and the Chinese judge of the festival, Ah Cheng, was also allowed to come to the meeting.

Zhang Ran and Jia Niangliang appeared, which attracted the attention of many people, and those who knew each other said hello, and those who had never met nodded and smiled.

Most of the Chinese cocktail parties at the film festival are carried out like this, the host announces the start of the reception, the leader and the main creator speak, and finally the host announces that everyone is now eating.

The same is true of the reception of this Chinese night, after the start of the event, the leader of the General Administration spoke, and then Wu Yusen took the stage to speak, he is the spokesperson of the centennial screening of the birth of Chinese films. At first, the General Administration planned to find Zhang Ran as a spokesperson, but Zhang Ran was about to start school, so he couldn't stay in Venice for longer. If he hadn't been there for the evening, he would have returned home in the afternoon.

After Wu Yusen finished speaking, the host Jiang Xiaohan invited Zhang Ran to the front and asked him to say a few words as a representative of young filmmakers.

Zhang Ran was not prepared, but it was not difficult for him: "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! It is the 100th anniversary of Chinese film, and we filmmakers are very proud. Looking back on the past, our ancestors once made masterpieces such as "Spring in a Small Town", which are still precious artistic legacies today.

At the same time, we must see that although Chinese films have a hundred years of history, they do not have their own school, and they have not produced an iron law that is enough to affect world cinema for 100 years like last-minute rescue. To this day, there is no information institution in China that is completely open to the public, nor is there an authoritative film information website, and it is even difficult to find a comprehensive, meticulous, objective and neutral film history book, so we who come after us must work harder.

China has abundant resources and markets, and has the most opportunities for development in the film industry. The rapid surge in mainland box office in recent years is a testament to this. The rise of mainland films, co-productions have played a big role, which is a revelation to us. I believe that the trend of China's film development in the future must be the cooperation of filmmakers from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places; I believe that as long as everyone is united, Chinese films will definitely be able to go to the world in an all-round way and occupy an important position in the world; I believe that Chinese films will get better and better!

In conclusion, I would like to say that the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard! Thank you!" )
