The cinema chain under Fox is just a small cinema chain, and it only has distribution in some major cities in the United States, and Columbia City is about a third-tier city in the United States, so there are no theaters in Focus.

This gave Daqian a headache, and in the end, it was the people of the motherland who helped, and a movie theater in Chinatown offered to take on the task of voting.

After all, in the United States, as long as there is a city, there is a Chinatown.

When Sam found this Chinatown cinema called Dayuewan Cinema according to the address on the newspaper, he couldn't help licking his lips, because this cinema was too small and a little too shabby.

However, driven by the enthusiasm for voting for the movie, Sam still entered the movie theater, and then found that the movie theater was actually quite good, at least very humane, and the popcorn was actually provided for free.

Although it was only a small portion, Sam, who was used to seeing popcorn for $10 a bucket and was about to catch up with the ticket price of the movie, was moved to tears.

Entering the screening room, Sam found that there were more people in the screening room than he had imagined, and not all of them were Chinese, at least half of them were blonde and blue-eyed Caucasian people like him.

Soon, Sam finds his old friend Tim in a seat.

Tim is also a movie lover, and like Sam, he will not fall behind almost as long as he is interested in the movie, so the two often bump into each other in the movie theater and become familiar with each other.

"You're here too!"

"yes, it's hard to find here!"

The two of them exchanged two words, but unfortunately, the seats of the two sides were not together, and there was someone next to Tim, so Sam could only sit in his seat.

Then he looked at a voting form that was placed on top of the seat in the front row.

Behind the front seats, there is a small pocket, apparently affixed later, on which is also inserted a voting form with the name of the "Road to Heaven Voting Card" written on it.

Sam was about to take a closer look at the options for the voting card when the lights in the entire screening room dimmed and the movie began.

As a big movie lover, Sam obviously doesn't pay attention to anything else while the movie airs.

………… Two hours later......

At the end of the movie, Sam wiped the corners of his eyes slightly, although the movie is called Paradise Road, it sounds like a comedy movie, or at least a movie that makes people feel excited.

But the actual plot is almost depressing.

This is a film about the hard days of a white noblewoman in a concentration camp in Fuso.

One night in 1942, the Kangaroo Nation and the Woo Nation people stationed in Singapore were throwing a grand ball, but the war came, and Fuso attacked them.

The soldiers went to war, and the families of the soldiers, especially the wives, took a cruise ship to try to return home for refuge. As a result, the ship sank when they were attacked by the Fuso army, and the noblewomen became captives of the Fuso and lived in a concentration camp.

These noble ladies in their daily life naturally endured inhuman treatment in the concentration cloud, many people were abused to death, and all the women felt hopeless, the heroine named Adelia organized a choir in the concentration camp, and in the suffering, she found a trace of motivation to live.

It was not until the end of the war that the women were freed.

This is a very positive energy and no problem with the rice movie, very rice country, very main theme, and consistent thinking about human nature or something, and a little tear-jerking, so that Sam, who is used to seeing all kinds of tear-jerking movies, has a little moist in the corners of his eyes.

But it's just wet, and if you want Sam, who is a movie gourmet, to really shed tears, this movie is still a little lacking.

Then the lights came on, and Sam cleaned up his mood and started the voting card.

First of all, at the top of the voting card, the words of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival and the badge icon are written, as well as a warm reminder

Dear viewers, after the movie is lit up, you have five minutes to fill out this form in your hand, although you can also choose to give it up. Because time and writing are inconvenient, you just need to fill in the corresponding score or mark it on yesno for convenience.

"It's quite comprehensive!" Sam exclaimed, then picked up his pen and began to fill out the form.

First, the first question of the first line

"Do you like this movie, Sam thought about it for a while, and then gave this answer. Although the movie itself is good, it is not enough to be the best film of the year.

"Do you think this movie is a literary film? Note: Literary films are films that do not consider commercial impact, and there are awards exclusive to literary films in the film festival, please fill in carefully. ”

“yes！” Sam thought about it again, and then held this vote really interesting, is it that literary films still have to vote, isn't it the official when they promote it, and set the tone for the movie?

After checking yesno's options above, all the following options are all used for scoring.

The audience is asked to rate the director, the male lead, the female lead, and the supporting actor and actress of the film.

It is worth mentioning that when it comes to supporting actors, because of the large number of people, the names of 8 main supporting actresses and 2 main supporting actors are listed in the voting card, and the audience needs to check the names of one of the supporting actresses and supporting actors first, and then score these two supporting roles separately.

In addition, the number of supporting actors and actresses is not fixed, but is determined according to the difference in the number of main supporting roles in a movie, after all, the road to heaven is a female-dominated movie, and the main supporting roles are of course female prisoners, and it is impossible to have too many male supporting roles.

Then the film soundtrack, script, photography, editing, sound effects, special effects, costume design, art direction, action direction, makeup, theme song, a total of 10 items were scored, and the scores ranged from 1 point to 10 points.

I would like to explain here that although Boss Jia announced a 100-point scoring system at the press conference, he later changed it to a 10-point scoring system under the persuasion of Jon Landau.

The reason is simple, because according to previous practice and experience, if it is a 100-point system, then the audience seems to have 90 different points to choose from.

But in fact, as long as a movie can make the audience happy, it is very easy for the audience to score in the range of 90 to 100 points.

On the contrary, if the movie does not meet the audience's expectations, the score will fall directly below 50 points.

Although these scores are also scored by the audience, it is difficult to have actual reference value.

Because this will lead to good movies with a score of more than 90 and bad movies with a score of less than 50, it is difficult to open up the detailed gap between different movies, and it is also very easy to have movies with the same score.

And it's very easy for professional sunspots to take advantage of loopholes, after all, sunspots only need to score 10 points to pull down a score for an excellent movie.

On the contrary, the ten-point system is much better, because the audience can only give 10 points, and there are only 10 choices, so even if it is a very happy movie, the audience will not blindly give a high score of 8 or 9, but a relatively rational score of 6 or 7.

On the contrary, if the percentage is still maintained, then the audience may give a score of 93, or 94 points, which is actually equivalent to 9 points on a ten-point scale, which is very inappropriate and unscientific for scoring.

Boss Jia really never thought about this, so he directly said the decision of the 100-point system at the press conference, and it was not until he was persuaded by relevant people that Boss Jia found that he was actually a little ignorant.

Fortunately, Boss Jia knows that he can change his mistakes, and he is very good.
