Chapter 276: Reception (2/5)

It is difficult for the films produced by Shen Mengxi, or mainland films, to enter the Hong Kong market.

- "Ip Man" is different, "Ip Man" is a very pure Hong Kong kung fu film...

The Hong Kong box office of "Painted Skin" did not reach 4 million Hong Kong dollars...

But it's already very high, you must know that "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" did not reach 1 million, forcing Director Feng to spray: 'I am very disappointed in the Hong Kong audience'...

What's there to be disappointed about?

It's a big deal, don't want the Hong Kong box office!

It's actually easy to explain: because the context is different.

Let's take a small example.

When two people meet, they don't like each other, if we follow our impression of the language system of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, it probably looks like this:

"Don't mess around, or I'll sue you and put you in jail."

"You're lucky today, we'll see, I won't let you go so easily."

With that, the two turned their heads and walked away.

How to say it in Northeast dialect:

"What are you looking at?"

"What are you doing?" and then the two scuffled together...

The language system is based on the characteristics of the environment and the population, Hong Kong and Taiwan were influenced by Western culture earlier, and their legal awareness is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the contradictions in film and television works are relatively mild.

The Northeast cares whether it is reasonable or not, and try not to make noise when you can do it.

But science fiction movies and action movies are different!

Hollywood can become popular all over the world, blossom and bear fruit all over the world, and conquer cities everywhere, relying on the use of various latest technologies to continuously create visual scenes and special effects that shock the hearts of audiences.

So, Hong Kong is very much Hollywood...

They were all kinds of envy of Sister Tianxian's situation...

$60 million smashed a heroine!

Tsk, Li Jiaxin and Guan Zhilin said that we can also fight!

I'm sorry, Shen Langzi is not interested in his aunts...

......

According to the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival, all the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" fell behind, waited in the VIP lounge for a while, and then under the guidance of the staff, Shen Mengxi and his party walked into the screening hall.

Everyone in the theater gave a standing ovation and saluted the crew.

This is the rule, whether you like it or not, the tribute is for sure!

The Lumière Hall, the main venue of 2,000 people, in addition to the guests and media personnel, also has a large number of ordinary audiences.

They all came to see Xiao Lizi!

Shen Mengxi...

The name of the world's best-selling author is nowhere near as good as Jack's.

Manchester by the Sea

There's nothing to say, the plot has been repeated countless times!

The biggest feature of this film is that it is real, so real that a more detailed story can be extended from each node, and many secret details are more reasonable after thinking about it.

It slowly drains the hope of redemption, like a long emotional marathon, and then viciously tells you that there is a different way of presenting other routines: this is not a story of uncles and nephews helping to get out of the shadows, some mistakes cannot be remedied, some losses can never be repaid, there is no way to take back the cruel words we said to our lovers, and the light we vaguely see is only for a moment.

This man is dying every second for the rest of his life!

Of course, unlike documentaries, movies talk about pain with restraint and forbearance.

The montage of the two lines crosses like reality and dreams, and Lee is in the middle of it, constantly struggling and fleeing himself.

A large number of empty shots, especially seascape shots, strongly echo Lee's state of mind.

The pier in the wind and snow, the small boat at the port, the seabirds flying.

The sea is open and free;

Lee, closed, escaping, immersed in his own trauma...

It's like his house in Boston, dark, damp, with only a tiny window, a picture of a child, and that's probably his only precious possessions...

Finally, when Lee uttered the phrase "I can't beat it," he was caught off guard...

Lee still chose to return to Boston, but he said that he was going to change to a place with multiple rooms, thinking that his nephew might come to see him...

It's like when winter passes, spring comes.

It seems that there is no earth-shattering progress, but there is some comfort.

Life is life, not so much chicken soup.

When spring comes, it will come out and be breathable, which is also good.

When the movie ended, the whole screening room was silent...

There was even the sound of sobbing.

It took a while for the audience to applaud.

......

Contrary to the opening, at the end of the movie, Shen Mengxi became the focus of the interview.

After all, he is the director of the movie!

"Life is destined to be full of regrets, unless you can turn back time. ”

"Not all mistakes can be forgiven, not all pain can be healed, there is always time and nothing can be done. ”

"I'm disgusted by the so-called salvation... There are mistakes that take a lifetime to make up..."

"Leon's performance is very accurate, and a character like Lee doesn't need to show acting skills, and he doesn't have too many expressions... Indifference is the best protection for him, listen to the thunder in the silence!"

There were a lot of reporters, Shen Mengxi answered a few words briefly, and then hurriedly left...

The Palais du Cinématha is not your own, and there will be other competing films to be screened later.

Xiao Li is also in a hurry to go back to where he lives - he lives on a small island not far from Cannes...

There's no way, probably because I want to 'live back the life of ordinary people', Xiao Li's popularity is too strong!

Just after the opening ceremony, before he stepped out of the car, he caused everyone to boil, and the high-decibel screams emitted around the entire red carpet - described by the media as "popularity can be proven by decibels".

Leonardo stepped out of the car and caused a commotion, so much so that security guards had to come to the rescue.

Shen Mengxi is going to attend a cocktail party - I have to go, tonight will hold a Chinese film night to shine at the Cannes Film Festival and celebrate the centennial of Hong Kong films...

It's really that long, I don't have the number of words!

Du Qifeng, Liang Chaowei, Shu Qi, Yang Ziqiong, Zhao Bafei, Chen Kun and a large number of stars and Hong Kong directors appeared on the beautiful Cannes beach...

This etc., including the crew of "Spring Breeze Drunken Night"...

Shen Mengxi is also a Chinese filmmaker on this trip, and of course he also has to participate.

This event is officially led: the Movie Channel Program Center, jointly organized by the Hong Kong Film Association, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and the China Film Overseas Promotion Corporation...

When he arrived at the scene, it was a little... Accidentally.

There are so many people!

It's like a vegetable market, old and young, male and female, Chinese and foreign, and a large area of Wuyang and Wuyang!

Last year, there was also a Chinese movie night, but there weren't so many people!

Shen Mengxi looked around, not knowing what to do at all...

"Mengxi, this way!"

“... Chen Kun!"

He hurried over...

"Why are there so many people?"

"They're all here to eat and drink... The whole of Cannes, and we have the money to hold a cocktail party!"

That's right, with the Shenzhou enchantment, the Chinese film corps is a completely different scene.

Subprime mortgage crisis?

Do we live in the same world?

The reporters, including some small filmmakers, really came in cheekily to eat and drink...

He and Chen Kun were complaining about the shameless behavior of foreigners, and Zhao Bafei walked over: "Mengxi, do you have time?"

"What's wrong?"

"There are a lot of seniors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry backstage, and they want to get to know you..."

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "I don't really want to know them..."
