Chapter 398: Scoring

Many people think that Europeans like literary films, this sentence is not accurate, as in China, European audiences also like Hollywood blockbusters and Hollywood stars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Otherwise, it is impossible for Hollywood blockbusters to seize the European film market.

However, the audience who can come to the Venice Film Festival is basically lovers of literary films, and they are here for literary films.

As the name suggests, literary films refer to films that are literary and artistic.

"Spring in a Small Town" is a standard literary film, its rhythm is soothing, the emotions are subtle, the waves are not alarming, and there is almost no overly intense conflict from beginning to end, it is all trivial fragments of daily life.

It has few characters, a simple plot, and the director goes deep into the complex and contradictory hearts of the characters, revealing the subtle emotional relationships of the characters, which is a typical psychological lyrical film.

To put it bluntly, the plot is dull and has no climax.

Watching a film like this, you can't expect the audience to give too many reactions that can make the audience excited and applaud enthusiastically or something.

That's not realistic, as long as it can attract the audience and not make them sleepy.

Lin Zixuan looked around and found that it was fine.

Although some of the audience members left the theater during the screening, most of the audience did not show a bored look, but watched the story seriously.

These audiences should have this kind of preparation when they come to the Venice Film Festival to watch the movie, literary films are not for hilarity, they need to be carefully savored.

He focused on the reporters and film critics, who had mixed reactions, some focused on the film, and some noted something in the notebook in their hand from time to time.

After watching a film, they rate a movie in newspapers and magazines, which directly affects the popularity of the film.

Although this popularity does not really help the awards, it can attract the attention of filmmakers and audiences.

Ninety minutes have passed, and the film ends, from the young doctor returning to the small town to the young doctor leaving the small town, this spring has passed quietly, leaving the audience with a sigh.

In the screening room, the applause gradually rang out, not too enthusiastic, not too excited.

The audience seems to be still immersed in the plot, or they think the film is okay, that's all.

Lin Zixuan couldn't judge the reaction of this group of Western audiences, but Mark Mueller, who was sitting next to him, said a word to remind him.

"I have to watch this film several times, and I have a different feeling every time I watch it. Mark Mueller sighed.

Lin Zixuan thinks that this should be the case, after all, Western audiences have a layer of separation from Eastern films, and the implicit emotions of Easterners are indeed difficult to understand, which is different from the attitude of Westerners towards feelings.

Even in China, "Spring in a Small Town" needs to be watched several times to have a better taste, let alone Western audiences.

Although art is the same, there are differences in the cultures of different countries, and these differences cannot be bridged through film.

"Spring in a Small Town" is not the kind of film that makes people excited, it is a bit dull.

Therefore, the kind of audience that is so excited when they see an Oriental film that they even ask for an autograph is unlikely to exist at an international film festival in the West, and it is good to be able to give a polite applause.

This shows that they approve of this film, at least it is not a bad movie.

This is for the general audience, for film critics and film festival judges, who look at the film from a different angle.

Ordinary audiences watch the storyline, while professional filmmakers watch the lens language and narration of the film, as well as the use of color and the performance of the actors, which is a comprehensive consideration.

Ordinary audiences will watch it once, there are many excellent films at the film festival, they will not go out of their way to watch "Spring in a Small Town" again, and the judges have to watch it repeatedly and grasp the details in order to discuss a film.

In other words, the audience's reaction can be used as a reference, but it does not represent the filmmaker's opinion.

When the applause rang out, Lin Zixuan took the director and actors to bow and thank them.

The audience dispersed, and reporters gathered around.

"Lin, where is the heroine of this film?" a reporter asked.

Lin Zixuan was quite speechless, these people were thinking about the heroine, Yu Feihong, as the center of this film, performed very well.

"She went to London. Lin Zixuan replied.

"London? Oh, it's the funeral. The reporter suddenly said, "It's a pity, I still want to give her an interview." ”

"She'll be back tomorrow and we can make an appointment. Lin Zixuan proposed.

The first step to becoming an international movie star is to increase your exposure, and it's always a good thing to be featured in foreign media.

Tian Xiangzhuang, Chen Daoming and others were surrounded by reporters and film critics, especially film critics, who were very interested in Tian Xiangzhuang.

After the screening, everyone returned to the hotel and waited for the media coverage tomorrow.

The next day, the staff of Good Dream Company bought back the reports related to "Spring in a Small Town", mainly in English newspapers.

Lin Zixuan can read English, as for newspapers in other languages, he can only look at the pictures, or ask the hotel staff to translate.

"How's it going?" asked Tian Zhuang.

This is the film he made, so he naturally cares about it very much, and he is banned from working as a director in China.

If "Spring in a Small Town" does not win any awards, and returns to China, the media will definitely expose this matter.

This is the virtue of the domestic media, if you succeed, they will be the icing on the cake, and if you fail, they will fall into the ground.

"It's not bad, the ratings are all above six points, and several media outlets have also given a high score of eight points, and the evaluation is mainly positive, with few negatives, which is higher than most of the films currently being screened. Lin Zixuan explained.

"I remember Takeshi Kitano's film that gave nine points. Tian Zhuangzhuang worried.

Mark Muller reminded them that this year's film festival is more competitive, and there are many famous directors, including many Asian filmmakers, such as Zhang Yimou and Takeshi Kitano.

Takeshi Kitano was originally a cross talk actor, but later entered the film industry, became a film actor, and then began to work as a director, and is quite prestigious in the Japanese entertainment industry.

His films are very personal, cold and silent, unmoving.

There are not many people who can play cross-border like this, and Takeshi Kitano is one.

The film he brought this time has received a lot of praise at this year's film festival, and some media have given a high score of nine points, which is a strong contender for the Golden Lion Award.

"The score of the media does not represent the opinions of the judges, his film is a tragedy, and there are violent elements, which can resonate more with the audience and the media. Lin Zixuan analyzed. (To be continued.) )
