has been a film critic for such a long time, generally speaking, whether a movie can sell well or not, probably after watching the movie, Zhou Liming can give the answer.

To tell the truth, "Cinema Paradiso" does not have the attributes of a big hit!

The pace is slow, and the story is told far away from the audience.

Even with the blessing of Xu Hui and the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, it is estimated that the box office of this movie will not be high...

I have to admit that our film market is very immature, and good movies often don't sell at the box office!

"The Piano of Steel", Huiwen is responsible for distribution and publicity, and the box office can reach 20 million, which has created a box office record for high-reputation domestic literary films...

Judging by the most normal situation, the box office of "Paradise Cinema" will exceed 100 million at most.

Audience feedback is the most intuitive performance!

Zhou Liming paid the most attention to the bunch of he met at the beginning, without him, these two people were too conspicuous!

And really tall just sat a little in front of him.

The shorter one spoke first: "... Honey, what do you think of this movie?"

“… Good movie, but I don't like it!"

The boy with the gold-rimmed glasses nodded solemnly and said.

"Why?"

"There's no plot like I imagined at all, and I feel like there's no climax in the whole story!"

“… yes, I think so too!"

The slightly shorter man nodded vigorously.

Zhou Liming heard it very clearly, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, is this still called no climax scene?

When the subtitles appeared, the lights in the theater were turned on at the right time, and the man with glasses straightened up: "Xu Hui wants to change his route now, this is not a movie for us at all." ”

“… I also think so, this movie should be made for those judges and gentlemen, so we don't think it's good!"

"Yes, I still find "Little Times" interesting..."

Hearing this, Zhou Liming couldn't help laughing.

Tsk, if Xu Hui heard this, he would probably be angry, the movie that took so much effort to make was actually evaluated as inferior to "Little Times"...

At the same time, Zhou Liming affirmed that the box office of "Paradise Cinema" must not be much higher - it was compared to "Little Times".

……

"Xu Huidun finally threw away the glitz of previous movies and returned to the most simple essence!"

"When it comes to Xu Hui, what can you think of? Quick editing, sharp and weird movements? Yes, this is also the most basic impression that director Xu Hui gave me. ”

"Domestic films need a director who can make good commercial films, and a director who can tell the story that happened to us steadily, Xu Hui has done a very good job, the "Huang Feihong" series is like its English name 'Once Upon a Time in China', and "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" lead the audience to appreciate the unique charm of martial arts! "In Those Years, We Chased Girls Together" and "Sunshine Sisters" wrote a new pattern of youth films in the mainland!"

"For directors, probably the most fearful thing is to lose interest in making movies, and for the audience, the biggest worry is that the director we like suddenly becomes unknown to us!"

"I must admit that when I first heard that Xu Hui was going to transform into a literary film, especially if it was still a foreign language film... An incredible feeling arose in my heart, "What's the matter?"

"In May, "Cinema Paradiso" premiered in Cannes, and the Cannes house book score was 3.8, I was surprised to hear the news, but I still didn't take it to heart, maybe the film is in line with Western tastes, and Al Pacino has a lot of fans in Europe... It's normal for businesses to blow each other. ”

"At the Golden Globe Awards in the United States two days ago, "Cinema Paradiso" won the Best Film Award in the drama category, and Xu Hui also became the first Chinese director to win the Golden Globe Award!"

"Today, after watching "Cinema Paradiso", I understand, I was wrong! And it was ridiculously wrong! "Cinema Paradiso" is a masterpiece, to put it in layman's terms, this is a work that is not at all like this era!"

"It's a boring story, but it will make people cry to read it. Full of emotions and complex, there will be a sense of aphasia after reading it, and I don't know where to start. ”

"I tried to tell these emotions in several dimensions, but it seems that as soon as I peel them off, the flavor changes. ”

"The male protagonist, Duoduo, has been obsessed with movies since he was a child. He often sneaks into the screening room to collect the cut out film and put it in a tin cylinder. He also tried to ask Evert for the tapes of the kiss scene that the priest had "harmoniously" cut out, but was refused. The elder Evert is the only film projectionist in the town, and in order to sneak into the screening room, Duoduo uses small tricks to finally win the right to enter the screening room and learn to show movies with Evert. ”

A fire burned down the movie theater, and Duoduo tried his best to save Evert, but he lost his sight, and the young Duoduo inherited Evert's business. From a lively and clever little ghost, he has grown into a handsome teenager. He fell in love with a beautiful girl from a powerful family, pursued it with all his might, stood in front of the girl's window for several months, and finally hugged the beauty. But the girl's family strongly objected..."

"Duoduo is going to serve in the military, and the girl did not show up at the time agreed between the two. In the army, Duoduo called and wrote letters, but the girl was never contacted again. When you come back from your military service, you're all lost, and Evert says, leave here like a soldier, no matter what you do, love it, love it like a projector. Get out of here, don't come back, don't write letters, don't see me. ”

"And Duoduo, I really didn't see him again. Even at the moment before Everett died, he said, don't tell Duoduo! After 30 years, when he came to attend the funeral, Duoduo was already a famous director. He met the girl who had already started a family, two gray-haired people, and when he finally opened his words, he learned that the girl had gone to the appointment that year, and was deliberately concealed by Evert. He even went to the screening room to find the note left by the girl, but what could he do, it was a different thing. It wasn't a lot of choice, but it made him who he was. ”

"Evert took those kiss scenes that were cut out that year, and connected them into tapes as a dying gift to Duoduo, and at the end of the film, Duoduo was alone in the screening room, watching the kiss scenes in these classic films, and walked by frame by frame..."

"At first, I thought it was because the whole film was made from that Cinema Paradiso, so it was called "Cinema Paradiso", until Everett said: Life is different from movies, life is much harder! I think maybe it's because movies are more like heaven than real life. ”

"The death of Evert and the explosion of the cinema meant that the artisanal age of cinema was gone, that the cinema had been the center of the town, and that with it came the commercial plaza and industrial cinema we saw. The viewing of movies is no longer a collective pleasure and echo, but an individual tour and aftertaste. This is also the most important revelation: the era of cinema as a beautiful moment of collective memory is gradually fading, and the cinema cannot shine under the shroud of industry, but becomes a kind of memory to be nostalgic. ”

"So, it's a movie about the sigh of life, and it's very meaningful. ”

“… Get out of here, it's cursed. Every day you stay here, you see this place as the center of the world, you believe that nothing will change, and then you leave. Year or two, when you come back, everything has changed, your worries are broken, what you came to look for is gone, what was once yours is gone, you have to leave for a long time, many years later, you come back to find your relatives and friends, return to your hometown. Life is different from movies, life is much harder. You're still young, the world is yours, I'm old, I want to hear your story!"

"I think this is also Xu Hui's self-awareness, so he will leave the movie mode he is most familiar with!"

"I'm 50% sure that 'Cinema Paradiso' will win the Oscar for Best Picture, if nothing else, because it deserves it!"
