1120: Praise
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Donglai, who was dressed in a black suit, exhaled with a bright smile, and he spent a lot of effort in "Gravity", and finally did not disappoint the audience.
The thunderous applause in the auditorium rang out for nearly three minutes before it gradually stopped.
Maggie Cheung and Andy Lau, who saw the movie for the first time, were also very excited, they are really big directors, this is a god film.
Chinese movies can be made like this, it's too good!
Jia Zhangke was also very excited after watching the movie, 3D technology will show the beautiful earth, even when he walked out of the movie theater, his ears were still echoing with the roar of melody, and there were countless space debris floating in front of him, and the earth seemed to be shaking!
"This movie is so shocking and real, I don't even know how to evaluate it. Li Donglai is really an amazing director, even though he is younger than me, but he is a teacher, and he can be my teacher in many ways, a teacher of many Chinese directors. When he was interviewed, he was full of praise.
The two reporters then walked forward, and suddenly felt that their steps were weak and weak, and even stumbled a little.
It's a movie that makes your legs weak! And this is not a horror movie, this is a space movie......
First it's amazing that the high 3D technology,
This is not surprising, Lee Dong-rae is one of the important propulsions of modern 3D films. His 3D films never disappoint. In addition, the film's original restoration of the beauty of the earth from space, "Gravity", which cost 100 million US dollars and took more than a year to build, has made great progress compared with "Inception".
After watching the movie, a Hong Kong reporter's eyes were red, and she wrote a manuscript in her workbook, "Dangxiu loosen the seat belt." Ann struggled to reach out and tried to grab the departing Xiu Shi, and I cried, as if time went back to the scene when the Titanic sank, Ruth let go of Jack's hand, and Jack slowly sank to the bottom of the sea. Both gave up their lives. to save the heroine. So similar, so sentimental. The same commitment, the same struggle. When death came, Ann kept racing against time for herself, and she also tried to give up, eventually. She succeeded, and she fulfilled her promise to Xiu. Just like Ruth back then...... Well, I can't spoil it. This is a space movie, the magic of 3D technology has surpassed all of the past, and after watching the movie, you will think of countless space debris drilling into your eyes, and the feeling of being top-heavy. ”
In today's world. If you want to ask the movies with the best 3D technology, many people will think of "Inception" and "Avatar", and if you compare the two, the beautiful "Avatar" is obviously better.
But the most different technical table between Gravity and Avatar is the detail of the graphics, the latter being a fantasy planet with a colorful world of Avatar. The former is a space floating shot presented by Li Donglai from a real angle. Especially the god-like long shots, which are impossible for everyone to ignore.
"Great!" Chinese audience Chen Guohai was full of emotion, such a positive and inspirational space film with visual effects, the emotions in it are too strong, especially when An stood up like a baby from the ground at the end, it made people's scalps numb and wanted to burst into tears.
Several domestic reporters and film critics were amazed and enjoyed watching it, and at the same time quietly sighed, Chinese films can actually achieve this level, and it is only possible from the hands of Li Donglai.
There are reporters who have watched "The Great Gatsby". They all said that the jury's choice was not wrong.
"The Great Gatsby" was also screened at Cannes, and the media reporters did not react much, and they all left quietly after the end, not only lacking applause, but also barely booing. This is very rare in Cannes, and it also reflects the mediocrity of this film. It's completely different from Gravity.
The director's gorgeous and extravagant costumes, character modeling, and romantic photography lenses do give people visual enjoyment, and the film is upgraded to 3D, which undoubtedly emphasizes its visual blockbuster attributes.
In the same way, those who like it are willing to accept this style and are moved by the "infatuation that cannot be loved", while those who don't like it believe that the director is still following the old path and using tricks to consume masterpieces.
But it also seems hollow speculation, consuming masterpieces and creating an elegy for America's golden age.
The opening of "Gatsby" gradually enters the flashy world of color from black and white aged images, trying to lead the audience into the nostalgic American golden age; The monologue from beginning to end is all from the original book and presented in the video with subtitles at the appropriate time, fully demonstrating the characteristics of the adaptation of his literary masterpieces; From the plot point of view, the context is basically the same as the original work, and it also meets the needs of the "novel party".
"The Great Gatsby" is a short story written by American writer Fitzgerald, set in the 20s of the last century, and is regarded as a symbol of the "Jazz Age" of American literature. The novel has had a profound impact on the United States, and it aims to ask the question, "What is the American Dream?" ”
In the film, Leonardo's Gatsby undoubtedly represents the most direct "American dream": through his own efforts, he will do whatever it takes to make a lot of money and gain a higher status. But unexpectedly, after achieving such success, he still couldn't fulfill his long-cherished wish.
The United States prospered unprecedentedly after the end of World War I, but in the end it was left with only an elegy for the Golden Age. People forget their true emotions in the drunkenness of money, and like Gatsby, people who have ability and true temperament at the same time have become a special case of that era. This is also the reason why the author finally added "greatest" to describe him.
In comparison, the story of "Gravity" is simpler, but director Li Donglai's skills are amazing, and it will never make people fall asleep. He can give you a little excitement every time in places that the audience can't imagine. Constantly creating miracles, overcoming one difficulty after another, and finally succeeding6, the scene of finally standing up and looking up at the sky, I don't know how many hearts have been touched.
……
"Gravity" was announced the next day and was shortlisted for the main competition.
Maggie Cheung was nominated for Best Actress, Lee Dong-rae was nominated for Best Director, and the film was nominated for Best Film.
This is one of the only two Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition unit this year, the other being "Destined" directed by Jia Zhangke. will participate in the competition for the Palme d'Or.
But compared with "Destined", which has little publicity, the attention of "Gravity" has already exploded hundreds of blocks for him. Three important nominations, and the odds of winning are very high. After it was passed back, the attention of the Chinese people increased greatly.
Meantime. Directed by Johnny To and starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, "Blind Detective" was selected for the midnight screening unit. The young director Liu Yunwen's new film "Crossing the Line" was selected as a kind of attention unit, and the film will be starred by stars such as Chen Kun, Carina Lau, and Tian Yuan.
"Gravity" was screened in France for only three days and ended after three days. I can't see it until it's officially released worldwide. Li Donglai is not worried about the box office, he is more worried that the content of the film will be leaked too much, and every cinema requires that no pictures be taken.
As a result of this principle of starvation, Cannes has significantly increased the number of screenings in its cinemas.
More reporters and fans went into the cinema to watch it in advance, for fear that they would have to wait for a few more months if they were not careful.
In the past three days, Li Donglai has also put aside his work. Enjoyed a few days of fun.
He directly borrowed a luxury yacht worth hundreds of millions from the president of Ferrari in France, took the beautiful woman, and invited a few guests to go to sea. Emma had a movie to promote, so she didn't go, and let Yuna occupy Lee Dong-rae alone.
Li Donglai's yacht has always been very attractive. It's a rare luxury once. Naturally, it can't run away from the reporters' cameras. Yelena, Barbara and other models are all guests, as well as Brother Cheng Long and Bingbing. Of course, director Ang Lee is a judge, so in order to avoid suspicion, he will not be invited.
Blue skies, white clouds, sandy beaches, good food, sea, yachts, and of course, more beautiful women. Li Donglai lived a life of men and women without children.
And the movie is getting more and more praise.
"Phoenix.com" made a large report in China, which made countless fans whet their appetites: "In "Gravity". Director Lee Dong-lai has always maintained an orderly rhythm, without dragging his feet at all, and every turn is logical, which can always arouse the audience's appetite at the most desperate moment. ”
"Compared with the simplicity of the narrative, the visual presentation of the film is very complex. Like many classic science fiction works, "Gravity" hides a broad human proposition while telling a single event. The film chooses to look back on the beginning of life in a place outside the world, showing the state of life, "weightlessness" has become a way to leave the world and return to the primitive, and from the perspective of the universe, the earth, the place where human beings live, makes people think about the value of human existence from a macro perspective. The rope that connects the space station. Like the umbilical cord connecting the mother, the astronauts tried to grasp the rope again and again, and were forced to cut the rope again and again, which also symbolizes the beginning of life again and again. As the director said, the film expresses a dual meaning of "rebirth". One is the rebirth of the predicament, the astronaut has to resist himself in the predicament, if he loses to himself, he will choose to give up and die, but in the end it is his own ...... who controls his destiny"
On the other hand, Ann successfully fell into the sea through the rescue capsule, and finally the sea water entered the cabin, and many bubbles appeared, which is a metaphor for the evolution of human beings, because human beings originally evolved from single-celled organisms in the water, at the end of the film, An slowly climbed from the sea to 6 places in the sea, adapted to it, and finally got up and walked upright, The whole process is like a microcosm of human evolution and the evolution of life. ”
"The director was stingy with only three days of screenings in Cannes, and the curtain was closed after three days. As a direct result, the local cinema in Cannes is full every day, and the owner has even added seats in the aisles, which are still in short supply. More people come to see the movie, and it is more difficult for ordinary viewers to get a ticket. Chinese films have never been so popular with the media in Cannes. ”
"Maggie Cheung's performance is fantastic, and Andy Lau has the effect of green leaves setting off safflowers. It is appropriate to be nominated. ”
"Compared to the previous filming, there were all kinds of difficult environments. But who called this Li Donglai's movie, if I am replaced, I will insist on making it well, no matter how hard it is. ”
I don't know when director James Cameron came to Cannes to watch the movie, but he actually commented on the movie on his blog, "I think this is the best space-themed film of all time." This kind of movie, I haven't seen it for a long time. Li Donglai actually chose such a theme, and teamed up with Cannes actress Maggie Cheung to send a story about a woman fighting for her life in a zero-gravity space, and there is no trace of artificiality in this story. It is a rare 3D wonderful science fiction movie in recent years, and the most designed, elegant and powerful science fiction movie ......"
Lao Ka has always been Li Donglai's rival, and the last time he was still in China, he was severely blocked by Li Donglai. This time, he actually took the initiative to promote "Gravity", which really surprised the media.
The sense of anticipation for the movie is deeper.
But damn Li Donglai, why did it only be released in October.
