Chapter 529 Why Didn't Get the Palme D'Or? (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

Randomly flipping through the various forums, especially the main battlefield where fans and sunspots used to be, can be said to be littered with corpses.

Moreover, these "corpses" did not come from the fierce battle that just happened, but were dug out of the "cemetery".

"I heard that this film is neither popular with Chinese nor foreigners? I see, Cannes is not run by foreigners."

"Cannes was expelled from foreign nationality by Heizi. In the future, it is suggested that the country accept the homeless Cannes, move to Jingzhou, and change its name to Tengda Film Festival."

"Tengda Film Festival? Are you implying that Tenda's wealth and richness bought off the jury? Congratulations! (Dog head)"

"This movie really became popular thanks to marketing. If the foreign box office is not good, go to Cannes to win an award. The marketing is hammered! (狗头)"

"Now it seems that "A Better Tomorrow" has indeed taken up a good schedule. If it is placed in a better schedule, it is estimated that the underpants of several other popular movies will be wiped out."

"At this moment, the big investment movie that didn't crash with "A Better Tomorrow" should be kneeling in the living room to celebrate, right? The more you think about it, the more afraid you will be."

"Can you tell that joke again? Which? The one about the foreign blockbuster. 'Journey to the Stars! The real foreign blockbuster is coming!' Hahahahaha!"

"I heard that foreign audiences don't like this, but today foreign theaters have not only extended the release date of "A Better Tomorrow" but also added a schedule. Once again, I solemnly inform all foreigners: Watching this movie may risk expulsion of nationality, please be careful watch!"

...

Similar comments can be seen everywhere in various forums, and the previous remarks and posts of those black people have been dug out and repeatedly hanged.

Many sunspots were beaten to the point of being hopeless. They either deleted or closed comments, and most of them could only pretend to be dead.

No way, grades are the best slap in the face!

Before, the sunspots made a fuss over the fact that "A Better Tomorrow" did not perform well at the overseas box office, and they almost turned it into stone.

As a result, the awards at Cannes were too heavyweight, which directly played a role in turning things around, and all the previous remarks were all self-defeating!

Pei Qian leaned on the boss chair, silent.

It's not that he wants to see these things, it's really impossible not to!

Discussions are everywhere on the Internet, and even if you want to go to Weibo to see a young lady, you can find relevant content. It is a 360-degree penetration without dead ends. , Those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry.

Pei Qian silently mourned for these warriors in his heart.

"I've made you feel wronged! The next movie will definitely clear up your grievances! Please believe me again!"

Flipping through some popular discussion posts, Pei Qian wondered, "Beautiful Tomorrow" should be over, right?

This heat is too long-lasting!

I didn't expect a movie to have such great stamina. From its release in February to now, the popularity on the Internet has not stopped one after another.

The most terrible thing is that every time the overwhelming popularity of the Internet will increase the number of purchases and plays of "A Better Tomorrow" that is hanging on Ellis Island.

Pei Qian was very puzzled. How come there are new audiences at this time?

This reminded him of that very famous stalk, who hasn't bought GTA5?

Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.

Now the nightmares that should be done have been done once, and they have won awards at international film festivals, so it should stop, right?

The awkward angles have been searched by everyone, is it possible to make a conclusion and let this movie rest in peace?

Pei Qian planned to stop paying attention to this matter, and let the heat slowly dissipate.

However, just as he was about to close the webpage, Pei Qian accidentally caught a glimpse of a post.

"Why did "A Better Tomorrow" win the jury award?"

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion, hey, it's another embarrassing post from a conventional angle.

He has seen too many posts like this.

When "Beautiful Tomorrow" successfully won the jury award, various popular self-media have already posted many such posts. The process of this award, and finally analyze why "A Better Tomorrow" can meet the taste of the Cannes jury and successfully won this award. By the way, I will revisit the spiritual connotation and artistry of this film.

Pei Qian has read many such manuscripts, but he is not very interested.

However, seeing that the popularity of this post seemed a bit unexpectedly high, Pei Qian hesitated and clicked in.

However, just after reading the first sentence at the beginning, Pei Qian was about to faint.

...

"Seeing this title, do you think I'm going to talk about why "Beautiful Tomorrow" won the award again?"

"wrong!"

"What I want to ask is why "A Better Tomorrow" won the jury award instead of the Palme d'Or?"

"Everyone knows that this year's Cannes gave the Jury Prize to "A Better Tomorrow", and the Palme d'Or to "Journey of the Soul", a Southeast Asian film."

"Many people are ecstatic just because "A Better Tomorrow" won the jury award, but they don't seem to have thought about this question. Why didn't "A Better Tomorrow" win the Palme d'Or?"

"Actually, there are many similarities between 'A Better Tomorrow' and 'Journey of the Soul', just by comparing them."

""The Journey of the Soul" tells the story of a poor farmer who saw the souls of his deceased family members after suffering from a terminal illness, and followed the souls to find his previous life. The film uses non-professional actors, and most of the dialogues of the characters in the play are also I improvised, and the shots were rarely edited, but long shots were used.”

"Although "The Journey of the Soul" shows exotic features and some supernatural elements, it seems to be more in line with the Cannes jury's taste in pursuit of artistry, but I have to say that this film is better than "A Better Tomorrow". Even in terms of artistry and connotation, there is not such a clear advantage."

"On the contrary, "A Better Tomorrow" is about worries about the gap between the rich and the poor, the alienating effect of money on people, capital manipulation of technology to control people's lives, and people becoming data. Compared with 'soul', it can obviously trigger a wider range of concerns. The resonance and connotation are more profound.”

"Because many people in China don't know much about Cannes, they instinctively think that domestic films won't suit the jury's tastes, so it's normal not to win the Palme d'Or. This is definitely a misunderstanding!"

"In my opinion, compared to "Journey of the Soul", the jury should also be very optimistic about "A Better Tomorrow". According to gossip, the Palme d'Or actually went through three rounds of voting before it was finally decided."

"Obviously, the seemingly settled awards actually have many twists and turns in places we can't see."

"Considering that "Beautiful Tomorrow" has already won the jury award, which is actually the second place in the main competition unit, "Beautiful Tomorrow" must also have a place in these three rounds of voting."

"That's why I asked the original question, why didn't "A Better Tomorrow" win the Palme d'Or?"

"If you agree with the above conditions, please continue to read."

"In my opinion, the reason why "A Better Tomorrow" lost to "Journey of the Soul" in the final selection of the Palme d'Or by a narrow margin, there are two reasons that cannot be ignored."

"First of all, there are unspoken rules for international film festivals. As we all know, in order to compete for better film resources and better maintain the gold content of their own awards, these international film festivals will give more preference to films that premiere at film festivals. "

"For some films that have already won awards at other film festivals or have gained high popularity, film festivals such as Cannes often do not qualify them for selection, because it is tantamount to using their own enthusiasm to make wedding dresses for others. For those 'pro-sons' A 'director', that is, a director who has premiered his film at a film festival for several years in a row, is not fair."

"Unless it is a particularly good movie, an exception can be made."

"And "Beautiful Tomorrow" has just been released in overseas regions. Fortunately, the marketing is not strong and the attention is not high, so it was lucky to be selected as the main competition unit and won the award with its own outstanding strength."

"But no matter what, it wasn't premiered in Cannes, so the score of "A Better Tomorrow" in the hearts of the jury was greatly discounted virtually."

"And the second reason is mainly my speculation. I just say that, and everyone listens to it."

"Actually, the previous content of "A Better Tomorrow" should be in line with the taste of the jury, but the problem is... Do you remember the easter egg at the end of the film? That is, a pistol was thrown at the door of the male protagonist?"

"As for whether this easter egg will make the judges like it...you can judge for yourself."

"Perhaps without this easter egg, the possibility of "A Better Tomorrow" winning the award would be a little higher."

"Finally, one more interesting thing."

"Do you know that there was also a film that won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 1998? That is, 13 years ago, it won the same award as "A Better Tomorrow"."

"The name of this movie is "Life is Beautiful", "La vita è bella", and the English name is "Life is beautiful"."

"And the English name of "A Better Tomorrow" is "Tomorrow is Beautiful"."

"After thirteen years, two equally excellent works with similar names won the same award. There seems to be some kind of wonderful connection somewhere."

"What's interesting is that although "Life is Beautiful" only won the jury award, its reputation among domestic fans is far better than that year's Palme d'Or work."

"In short, "A Better Tomorrow" won an award in Cannes, and we should be happy. However, we should not feel sorry because we only won the Jury Prize. This film definitely deserves more praise than we thought. Let's look forward to it together. The Feihuang studio of 'the light of the domestic film industry' will create more and better works for us in the future!"

Good morning everyone, today is another day of begging for votes~
