Chapter 480: A Great Success
There is no doubt that judging from the film reviews of the audience, the film "Truman's World" could not be more successful.
Everyone's evaluation of this film has also reached its peak.
It's just that for journalists, such unanimous praise is not their thing, and they still prefer to find topics in it.
So, reporters began to come up and ask questions in front of Li Chencan.
There is a lot of hard content in such questions, and it is unavoidable.
"Director Li, "Truman's World" is a rather shocking movie, but in the movie, the various views you show are satirizing the media and satirizing product placements?"
The reporters just started with a bit of gunpowder, as if they were holding themselves upset...... Of course, in fact, everyone knows that this group of people is not so easy to get angry, this is just a gesture in front of Li Chencan, for them, the more important thing still leads to the topic.
Li Chencan pondered slightly, and then said: "This is a movie after all, please don't bring anything into real life, otherwise there will be no way to make a happy film in the future." "Truman's World" is about a reality show, so in it, of course, it will also take into account all aspects of the show, consider how the show makes money, what it relies on to make money, and what it relies on to attract the audience's attention...... That's why the current content appears, and there is no meaning to target anyone...... Please judge for yourself. β
Li Chencan whitewashed himself with such a paragraph, there are things. It's okay for everyone to tacitly know it, but once you say it, the nature is different.
If he really says to the media β yes, I'm being sarcastic about you. I'm just satirizing the era of entertainment to death, I'm satirizing product placement, you're biting me!
If so...... That's when things really get bigger.
"However, according to what you said, in fact, we can see that this huge world in "Truman's World Realm" is impossible to justify at all...... So many actors, so big a place. There is even an artificial sun and moon, and with such manpower and material resources, you can go to Mars! But it turned out to be such a show...... This in itself does not justify itself. So what you call having to take into account is just an excuse, right? β
The smell of gunpowder is indeed a bit strong......
"Some of the things in the film are mainly to express a theme." Li Chencan thought for a moment and then said, "So you can't ask every detail in the movie to be exactly the same as reality...... If that's the case, it would be nice to look at the reality. Why do you want to watch a movie? But. Even your previous doubts are not valid, this is the situation in the movie, but who says it can't be? β
"But it's impossible!" The reporter just now is still entangled in the setting of the reality show in Li Chencan's "Truman's World".
However, the press officer on the scene had already canceled his right to speak, so he could only sit down stupidly.
"Director Li, can you tell us what the main theme of "Truman's World World" wants to talk about?" A reporter asked, no longer entangled in the question of who Li Chencan wanted to satirize. He is no longer entangled in the question of whether the world is reasonable or not, but purely becomes a subject inquiry.
"Theme...... In fact, it still depends on each person's different feelings. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people...... And I'm the director of the film, and if I say a word, it's almost the standard answer...... This also stifles everyone's imagination, so I won't talk about it. β
So, from the beginning to the present, Li Chencan seems to have answered a lot of questions, but in fact, he didn't answer a single question, and basically avoided talking about it.
After all, these issues are sensitive.
"Then what do you think are the characteristics of "Truman's World" compared with "Infernal Affairs"? From your point of view as the creator and controller of the film. β
"Features...... If you want to say it, then I think that "Truman's World" is longer than the imagination space, and "Infernal Affairs" is longer than the plot...... These are the two films I think. Indeed, "Infernal Affairs" and "Truman's World" are two films that are quite good in terms of plot and creativity, but Li Chencan feels that the two are different after all, and their strengths are also different.
"What do you think Truman's World will bring you? Is it an honor? Or whatever. β
"Well, I'm sure this movie will bring me some credit, but I can also predict that this movie may have a lot of controversy...... But none of this has happened yet, and it's not too late to wait until it actually happens! β
Li Chencan can indeed predict now that "Truman's World" will be very controversial, maybe it will be stronger than "Saving Private Ryan".
At that time, the content of the dispute may also be multifaceted.
These questions are one after another, they are not easy to answer, and if they answer a little wrong, it is estimated that they can all use the topic to play, especially in this situation, in "Truman's World", although Li Chencan does not admit it, many people can see that there is a lot of satirical media content in it...... In such a situation, the possibility of the media taking advantage of the topic is too great.
Li Chencan now just wants to finish the premiere quickly and wait to see what film critics have to say about "Truman's World."
He estimated that there should be a lot of praise by then......
Finally, the time is almost up, and the reporters looked at the time and asked a more classic clichΓ© topic: "Director Li, can you predict the box office of "Truman's World"? This is not a commercial blockbuster, do you think this movie can surpass "Saving Private Ryan" at the box office? β
Predicting the box office, in fact, Li Chencan is not easy to answer.
But most of today's questions are prevarication and blockage, and he didn't answer them positively, let's answer this question: "You also said just now, "Truman's World" is not a commercial-oriented movie, so at the box office, my expectations are not particularly high, as long as there can be a domestic box office of more than 1 billion, this is a success, I don't expect this movie to surpass "Saving Private Ryan" at the box office." β
β¦β¦ Finally, the reporter's questioning session was completed, and Li Chencan breathed a long sigh of relief.
These reporters are too difficult to deal with, and I don't know what they will say about themselves next.
However, this time, Li Chencan actually doesn't have to worry too much.
After the premiere of "Truman's World" just ended, so many film critics were excited and immediately went to the place where they could talk to write a review of "Truman's World".
This movie really touched them too much......
The touch touches on a deep place.
All kinds of praise exploded instantly.
On the night of the end of the release of "Truman's World", many different kinds of films, professional and lyrical, swept the Internet.
"What kind of era is our time? Does the development of technology and the abundance of materials liberate or restrain people? Does it push people in a more autonomous direction, or do they put him more in opposition to themselves, lose themselves more, and be more distant from the real world and the living life? Li Chencan's "Truman's World Realm" uses an almost cruel story and an allegorical narrative to give us an intriguing answer...... It's just that we can't see the real answer, through the fog, but it seems that we can all find our own shadow from "Truman's World", the tragedy of reality lies in the fact that in this era of media, it is difficult for anyone to escape the fate of Truman, and no one has the confidence to say that they have nothing to do with Truman, this movie, I give full marks......"
"Set, restricted, imprisoned, Truman lived in this environment for 30 years without knowing it.
When I first started, my mouth was kept open, which was shocking. The plot is so bizarre, how could there be such a person...... But soon, all I was left with was sorrow, we are all Trumans, we can find traces of being set in the lives around us, and we also have dreams that are difficult to achieve in the set world (Truman's Fiji), but we can't or can't get out of our own world to pursue our dreams...... Li Chencan uses an allegorical storyline and an amazing and wonderful idea to show us such a cruel and true story, it is hard to imagine how great his talent is, as a director, he is really amazing. β
"Truman's World is an illusory but real world, and it is an almost real fable. People's never-ending voyeurism, the freedom of being QJ's heart, and the life of being kidnapped...... Maybe our lives are not as manipulated as Truman, but aren't our fates changed many times because of the influence of the surrounding environment? There are many things that can no longer be done, many things that are impossible to think about, and how much courage does it take to break all this? How many fears need to be overcome? Purely from the perspective of the movie itself, the rhythm control of "Truman's World" is very good, the editing is very skillful, and the seemingly absurd idea is so real and shocking, Li Chencan's skills can also be imagined......"
β¦β¦ After the premiere of "Truman's World", many ordinary fans were waiting for the pioneers' evaluation of "Truman's World", so they did not disappoint everyone, and soon, a lot of praise appeared in various channels of film critics who had watched the movie.
The praise began to grow like crazy. (To be continued......)
