The explosive growth of the Chinese market is not only of concern to Hollywood, but also to many countries interested in developing this fertile land.

Among the most positive are France and South Korea...

Korean films do have something to learn from Chinese films, mature genre narratives, and Korean films are the most successful genre countries except for the United States.

Don't say that I blow Korean movies, from the perspective of an audience, there are only two kinds of movies: good-looking and bad-looking.

In recent years, whether it is a novice director or an old master, the probability of Korean crime and suspense genre films often falling into the good-looking range is much greater.

If you want to say that it's a routine, it's really a routine, and the key words are just a few: crime, suspense, action, human nature, and... Black government.

Many people say that they are just relying on their own wide review restrictions, and they dare to shoot and dare to say that they are popular.

Indeed, there is an element of this.

A blatant satire of the incompetence of the police, the incompetence of the government...

We really can't shoot these, and at first glance, people do have the suspicion of being stained with the light of the subject matter.

But people also have main theme works full of positive energy, such as the anti-Japanese film "Assassination", including the entertaining narrative "League of Thieves"...

This thing has nothing to do with censorship, right?

Therefore, the only movies that are worth criticizing are mediocre and not good-looking.

There is indeed something to learn from Korean cinema...

France?

It's not that I insult the law, you go to see the top ten of the French movie box office list yourself, almost all of them are comedies!

French cinema has long been lonely!

If you are interested in comparing the film world before the 90s and after 92, you will find that fewer and fewer people watch European movies, and the cinemas in France, Germany, and Italy have been successfully conquered by Hollywood commercial films.

Cannes, Berlin, Venice, every year there are many nominations for art films, award-winning awards, but their audiences are getting smaller and smaller, and no one pays attention to them!

The European movie stars we can think of are already a group of grandmothers...

New stars are born in Hollywood films, or British films that are closely related to Hollywood, and in other developed countries, there are only one or two directors left in each country to shine on the world stage.

Also learn France, learn a fart!

However, this does not mean that Luc Besson has no wool to pick, and "Super Body" is quite good...

The cost of $40 million and the global box office are as high as $460 million!

Of course, there is also the "Hurricane Rescue" series, in which retired agents kill all kinds of models in order to save their daughters...

"British Showdown", "Uncle" and even "My Agent Grandpa" were more or less influenced by this film.

Shen Mengxi is going to make a series, which is called "My Agent Grandpa", referring to "Classic Car" and "Hurricane Rescue", and the script is still being created...

Again, the question is whether the background is in Hong Kong or Thailand...

......

This year, Mengxi Company has followed the customs...

It's just not a big bag, like a fool to hold a drinking party...

Of course, the cocktail party has an effect, but Nima burns money, even if it is an ordinary dinner, it can't be ordered without a million euros.

The cost is too high to be worth it!

It's really better to rent an office in a hotel - anyway, Shen Mengxi has a reputation, and those who are willing to buy it will come to visit.

But still publicity!

"Heart Labyrinth" was shortlisted for a kind of attention unit.

You can't hold a cocktail party for it!

Buying a cover has become the most cost-effective means of publicity.

"Labyrinth of the Heart" bought the house books of "Daily Screen" and "The Hollywood Reporter"...

These two house magazines are not on the cover for money - the cover has to be left to the crew with a row, and the most famous card this year is, of course, Doug Liman's "Fair Game", starring Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Tay Brill!

Qi Yukun, the director of "Heart Labyrinth", has too low a coffee position, and the leading actors Li Xuejian and Hu Ge are also newcomers in Cannes...

Thanks to its producer Shen Mengxi, this is hung in the first five editions, although it is an inner page, but it has also appeared in the field magazine.

......

On May 16th, "Labyrinth of the Heart" was screened in the Debussy Hall of the Palais du Cinémath...

The films of a kind of attention unit are basically screened in the Debussy Hall, which is the main venue of a kind of attention unit.

The premiere of the film in the main competition will be held in the Lumière Hall...

Shen Mengxi and Qi Yukun were standing at the door of the hall waiting for the guests to enter!

Cannes, every premiere, is a small red carpet show, the invited guests come in formal clothes, enter the venue in advance, and say a few words to the creators, after that, it is the turn of the ordinary audience who bought tickets.

It's called a process!

The bigger the guest slots you can invite, the more it proves the appeal of the movie itself.

A bunch of reporters taking pictures!

The first to appear were Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe and Todd Hines, the Australian Gang and the director of "Carol", Shen Mengxi hurriedly greeted him...

Russell Crowe came to Cannes because "Robin Hood" is the opening film of Cannes this year, although it is a bad movie, but Russell Crowe and Kate are big names!

"Thank you..."

"Liu said that this is a very good movie, especially please me, of course I want to cheer!"

After a few words of greeting, they entered first, and then Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng came over, they came to sell the film "Tongtian Empire"...

Then Wang Xiaoshuai also led Qin Hao and Fan Biscuit over...

"Rizhao Chongqing"...

Fan Biscuit walked the red carpet wearing a dragon robe and took the most solid first step for the blanket star!

Then, Benicio del Toro appeared with Kate Beckinsale in his arms...

Both of them were among the judges of this year's Cannes Main Competition.

Shen Mengxi waited for a long time, but didn't see any other big names, turned around and walked into the movie palace with Qi Yukun with a blank face.

Qi Yukun is understandably nervous, a rookie, and his first movie will be screened in Cannes...

In fact, at the beginning, Shen Mengxi wanted to use the Venice platform, but this year's Venice jury chairman is Quentin Tarantino, if I remember correctly, he awarded the two awards to his old lover and mentor respectively.

Old lover Sofia Coppola won the Golden Lion for "Somewhere", and the teacher, Monte Herman, the producer of Quentin's debut novel "Reservoir Dogs", won the special Golden Lion...

"Heart Labyrinth" has no chance at all, that's a fart for publicity!

Just bring it to Cannes and sell the film...

......

"Heart Labyrinth", formerly known as "Funeral Coffin", multi-line narrative, if you don't know these two titles, then let's put it this way - "Crazy Coffin"!

is a farce caused by a charred corpse, which is a typical black comedy.

The village chief's son Xiao Zongyao and his girlfriend Huang Huan were bumped into by the ruffian White Tiger when they had a private meeting in the woods, and the White Tiger threatened him, and Xiao Zongyao killed the White Tiger by mistake.

After the village chief Xiao Weiguo saw it, in order to hide it for his son, he helped burn the body to protect his son.

Then the movie enters the segmented narrative, which is the story line of Xiao Zongyao, the story line of Liqin, another heroine of the story, and the third paragraph, the story line of the village chief...

If you look at it in order, the story is full of absurdities...

Zong Yao has not communicated directly with his father since his father went against his will and arranged a job for him without authorization.

Their mother became their intermediary. His mother explained to him his father's painstaking efforts that he wanted his son to work close to his parents, and that he wanted him to find a city girl to marry and have children.

Zong Yao's father, Xiao Weiguo, is the head of a village.

Integrity, bent on doing good things for the villagers, doing practical things.

At the same time, he also planned his happy old age, and after retirement, his son Zong Yao worked not far from him, so that he could often come back to visit him, and at the same time, he could hold his grandson and enjoy the joy of family.

Liqin, the wife of the lame Chen Zili, is a beautiful wife who married into the village.

When he was young, he had a good time with Wang Baoshan, but later because of the opposition of Baoshan's parents, the two did not get married.

Since then, he has a bad reputation in the village, and can only marry the lame Chen Zili.

Chen Zili is an alcoholic, and when he drinks too much, he will commit domestic violence against Liqin, and Liqin is powerless to resist.

Chen Zili works in the city and doesn't come back often, and every time before he returns, Liqin hastily takes a photo of the two of them out of the drawer of the bedside table and sets it up to whitewash a marriage that exists in name only and is full of violence.

Wang Baoshan, the man Liqin loved, didn't dare to do it or be it.

When his wife was pregnant, he went to Liqin's house to steal fish, and when his former lover complained to him, he proposed to plan a murder to kill Chen Zili and create the illusion that he committed suicide.

"I can help you move his body to the top of the hill, and then light a fire, not only to burn the body, but also to burn a large piece of grass next to it, saying that he accidentally lit the grass while smoking on the hill and burned himself to death. Anyway, this kind of thing happens a lot in the village. ”

Wang Baoshan did not expect that the perfect murder plan he thought of when he bragged about Kan Dashan at Liqin's house became a reality the next day.

Da Zhuang, a bachelor who runs a commissary in the village, has always liked Liqin, but because Liqin has a husband, it has not been easy to have too many actual expressions.

White Tiger, the younger brother of the Bai family.

His brother and sister-in-law stayed in the village, and he went to the city to work a few years ago, but he got into gambling, was in debt, and didn't have much contact with his eldest brother.

The white tiger is sick and often has nosebleeds without warning.

On this day, Baihu met Chen Zili who was having breakfast with Xiaosan in the county, and during the conversation between Baihu and Chen Zili, he saw his wallet bulging and had evil thoughts, so he followed Zili and stole his wallet;

In the evening, Huang Huan invited Zong Yao to the grove in the village, told him that he was pregnant, and asked him to be responsible for himself and marry him.

Before that, when Zong Yao was having dinner at home, his mother had just conveyed to him his father's idea that he wanted him to find a girl in the city.

Zong Yao panicked, messed up, and told Huang Huan that he couldn't talk to his family first, and let him think of a way.

This conversation happened to be heard by the passing white tiger.

The white tiger has a lot of debts and is in a hurry to use the money. happened to encounter such explosive news, so he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Zong Yao so that he could pay off a huge amount of gambling money.

Zong Yao was in a mess, pushing and shoving, he pushed down the white tiger, and the back of the white tiger's head hit the stone ground, and he lost his breath.

The two young men were very panicked, and in a hurry they covered the corpse with some dry grass, and fled to the city on their motorcycles.

All this happened to be seen by the village chief, who went to the woods after drinking with the secretary.

Finding out that his son had committed a murder, the village chief's instinct was to keep his son.

So he thought of cremation.

This night he stayed up all night, frequently looking at his watch and calculating the time.

At dawn, the corpse was set on fire and charred, making it unrecognizable.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to identify the body.

First, Huang Huan's father came to identify the body, saying that his daughter did not come home last night and was killed by Wang Baoshan.

The reason is that at noon yesterday, when attending the funeral of a person in the village, Wang Baoshan and Huang Huan had a conflict.

Wang Baoshan's cousin, Huang Huan's ex-boyfriend, passed away before, and Wang Baoshan always thought that it was because Huang Huan dumped his cousin that caused his cousin's death.

Wang Baoshan was forced to have no choice but to ask Liqin to make an alibi for himself, saying that he spent the night at Liqin's place last night.

This is undoubtedly revealing to the village names that he is having an affair with Liqin, and in order to save his life, he can only do this!

Liqin was called by the village chief and denied Wang Baoshan's words in front of everyone. As a married woman and unrelated in the village, she didn't want to drown out gossip.

After a while, things took a turn for the better.

The people in the coffin shop looked at the corpse and said that the pelvis was very large, and it looked like a man, and turned out Chen Zili's half-burned ID card on the corpse, and the body was determined to be Chen Zili.

Liqin went to identify the corpse, sad on the surface, and excited inside. A man who has been abusing her all the year round, a man she once approached with a kitchen knife when he was drunk and asleep, a man she dreamed of hoping that he would die, turned out to be really dead.

She couldn't ask for it.

She was not the only one who was happy, but also Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang actively helped prepare for the funeral, prepared for the funeral, and at the same time showed goodwill to Liqin and expressed his heart.

On the other end, the anxious village chief knew that the corpse was not Chen Zili.

The village chief repeatedly asked Liqin if she wanted to call Chen Zili to confirm, for fear of admitting her mistake. Liqin said no, let's do it directly, what the village chief didn't know was that she had been looking forward to this lame man for a long time.

The village chief asked the people around him, which of you has Chen Zili's phone number, contact him, and everyone said that he has gone to work in the city, and the phone is always changing, and we don't have his phone.

Later, the village rummaged through the cabinets from the house, found Chen Zili's number from a pile of crumpled papers, and called, Chen Zili was making out with the junior in the city at this time, and he turned off the phone...

Da Zhuang went to the city to help Liqin buy things for Chen Zili's funeral, and on the way back to the village, he ran into Chen Zili who was hitchhiking.

Da Zhuang was like seeing a ghost. Seeing that Chen Zili died, he had a chance to be with Liqin.

But now it has fallen short. Thinking of Liqin, Da Zhuang moved his heart to kill.

While Chen Zili was asleep in the car, Da Zhuang drove the car to a remote place, intending to stone him to death.

But in the end, he didn't do it.

Chen Zili woke up and got out of the car to a remote place on the edge of the cliff to relieve his big hands. At this time, the village chief wanted to prove that Chen Zili was still alive The second phone call, Chen Zili got up and lifted his pants, and at the same time held the mobile phone between his shoulders, and when his shoulders were loosened, the mobile phone fell forward. Instinctively, he grabbed his phone, leaned forward, and fell into the cliff.

This time, Chen Zili is really dead, which is both in the social sense and in the physiological sense.

Da Zhuang was like having a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, it was as if nothing had happened. He threw Chen Zili's bag from the co-pilot off the cliff and drove back to the village.

On the third day, Liqin was holding the portrait of Chen Zili and was about to go out of the funeral, when she received a call from the police station, saying that a body had been found under the cliff and asked her to identify the body.

In the morgue, the white cloth covering the corpse was lifted, and a fat-headed and big-eared corpse appeared, it was Chen Zili.

Back in the village, Liqin returned the coffin containing the unknown body to the village chief.

The charred and unrecognizable corpse changed from Chen Zili back to a nameless corpse.

The village chief went from house to house and asked if any male members of the family were missing, so that everyone could come and identify the body.

He passed by Baihu's house and asked Baihu's brother where Baihu had gone, and the brother replied that he had been working for several years, and we didn't know where he had gone.

At the same time, the creditors of the white tiger found the village because the white tiger disappeared out of thin air, and found the white tiger's brother, they came to collect the debt three times and twice, and the white tiger's brother and sister-in-law could not afford the huge gambling debts owed by the runaway white tiger.

The Bai family came up with a brilliant idea: they applied to the village chief to borrow the nameless corpse, trying to create the illusion of the death of the white tiger in order to avoid the debt collectors.

"Village chief, I said that the white tiger accidentally burned himself to death because of smoking. Only you know about this."

The nameless corpse turned around, from Huang Huan to Chen Zili, and then to the White Tiger, dramatically and the really dead people were on the same page.

It's just that the absurd thing is that the deceased's own brother didn't know about it.

At this point, everything is ready, Baihu's brother and sister-in-law, holding the photo of Baihu, hired someone to carry the coffin, and gave Baihu a funeral in a beautiful manner.

On the way, he met a creditor who came to collect debts again, and when the creditor saw that the person was gone, he gave up.

ran into Wang Baoshan and his wife Xiaofeng.

Wang Baoshan accompanied Xiaofeng for a walk, and Xiaofeng reconciled with Wang Baoshan under the persuasion of his mother, and completely buried the matter between him and Liqin in his heart.

I also met Zong Yao, who couldn't stand the inner torment of killing people and came back from the city and planned to go home to see his mother and go to the police station to turn himself in.

Zong Yao didn't know anything about the play directed and acted by the Bai family, and he nervously asked tentatively, "What's wrong?" and one person replied that he accidentally burned himself to death by smoking.

Zong Yao was stunned there, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

At the end of the movie, it is the reconciliation between Zong Yao and his father in front of an unclaimed coffin.

This is their first face-to-face and first reconciliation in the film.

A son who had always wanted to get rid of his father's control decided to return to the village and turn himself in because he was worried that his father's reputation would be ruined.

It wasn't until he was honest with his father in front of a corpse that he had killed and burned by him, that he realized that he couldn't get rid of him.

Whether it's as a father who loves him, or as a father who binds him.

This charred corpse ironically became a testimony to the relationship between father and son.

The film alternates and connects with each other from the perspective of each character, and finally intersperses and intersects all the stories together, and finally understands the absurdity and treachery of this accidental murder corpse burning coffin that has changed hands several times.

It looks complicated at first glance, but it's actually very simple, going around in circles, and the original corpse is still the original corpse in the end.

......

The movie ends.

The audience gave a standing ovation to the face.

A kind of fan who pays attention to the unit, the requirements are very simple: sincere, don't be pretentious!

"Labyrinth of the Heart" is sincere enough.

And it is not the usual narrative mode of commercial films for the case, the deaths in those movies are all ingenious, full of strange motives and strong ritual packaging, while the death presented in "Heart Labyrinth" is gloomy and dull, full of randomness, life and death in an instant, without warning and warning.

It's a lot of Coen Brothers, but it's local!

The quality of this film will not be weaker even if it is placed in the main competition unit, let alone a kind of attention unit...

The only downside is that it's too much like the Coen brothers...

It's a bit of a pick-up feeling.

By and large, everyone is rewarded.
