1313 worry about gains and losses
The day after the premiere, the official program of the Cannes Film Festival was released. With just a glance, you can clearly feel the enthusiastic praise of "Drunken Country Folk".
Ten media, four three-stars, six four-stars.
What exactly is this concept?？
Four stars, excellent; three stars, good; two stars, average; one star, poor; zero points, terrible.
In other words, three stars means good reviews, while four stars are rare..
It is precisely because of this that at the Cannes Film Festival, three points is the watershed between masterpieces and masterpieces. Works that score more than three points are bound to attract much attention; while two points are the watershed between masterpieces and mediocrity. Above two points, at least It still maintains an average level. The closer it is to three points, the better it is; as for two points or less, it can be regarded as a regrettable failure..
In the end, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" was a masterpiece with no negative reviews, and the average score was as high as 3.6 out of four points in the field publication, tying the score created not long ago by "Adele's Life" The highest score in the history of the venue, even the number of three and four stars is completely consistent, truly setting off a craze.
As a horizontal reference, this year's Cannes Film Festival has officially entered its eighth day. Currently, there are only two films that have entered the three-point mark..
This is the official venue score of "Drunken Country Folk"！
“‘"The Ballad of Drunkenness" is more worthy of a Grammy trophy than an Oscar trophy; the movie still has a lot of problems, but the original soundtrack is really a huge surprise." Emily continued to read the film review in the official program, this time, They all burst into laughter, "But of course, who can say no to Renly Hall?"？”
“‘Daily Telegraph', right? It must be the UK's Daily Telegraph, and the film critic's name is Tim-Robey, right? "Marc Lacante, the tall, lanky guy.
I met Renly for the first time at the Berlin Film Festival. In fact, he had already established his own film blog long before that, but the updates were not stable; after that, Mark began to run it seriously. In less than two years, he received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival and truly became a self-media film critic.
Emily nodded repeatedly and looked at Mark in great surprise, "How do you know?？”
“He was one of the film critics who watched the premiere with me yesterday. After watching the movie, he sat there with an orgasm on his face. I thought he would give it four stars, but I didn't expect he only gave it three stars? fraud! "Mark complained righteously, once again triggering exaggerated laughter..
I was still complaining that "Drunk Country Ballads" should all have four stars, but as the exchange slowly progressed, the mood and atmosphere became extremely joyful..
Unknowingly, more and more people gathered around him. At first, there were only four people, but now there are at least twenty people, crowded around and vying to express their opinions..
Emily's voice couldn't help but become cheerful, "Listen, this comment is the funniest, okay? This is a comment from the 'Bangkok Post', he said……”
“The Coen brothers' film is like a guy who went to Paris on vacation but chose to eat McDonald's every night because that's all he knew, so why make it? "Emily read it loudly, trying to be heard by everyone around her..
Then, everyone clapped and laughed.
From a purely drama perspective, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" is indeed subtracting, and it is still spinning back and forth on the equation of "one plus one equals two", like a headless fly. So, this time The comment is not completely wrong, and it is expressed in a joking way. Only viewers who have actually watched the movie can understand its profound meaning..
There are more and more people gathering opposite the Film Palace on the Esplanade, not just Emily. With the distribution of the official program, the discussion about "Drunk Country Ballads" is rising sharply..
At the same time, Nathan was reading the same movie review.
Joel Coen, who was sitting next to him and enjoying breakfast, lightly shrugged and said with a speechless expression, "Yeah, why do you want to film it? It's like, we all know that everyone's end point is death, then Why are you still alive?？”
After saying that, Joel rolled his eyes, not angry, but complaining, with sharp words..
Ethan Coen shook his head helplessly, "Joel, you should allow others to criticize.”
Joel shrugged exaggeratedly again, imitating a French accent, "Of course, if I allow others to criticize, then the critics should also allow me to criticize. This is only fair, isn't it?？”
The last question mark was said to Renly, which made Renly chuckle..
However, Renly did not answer directly. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Nathan, "I thought this should be a two-star or one-star review. Are you sure?" Because judging from the content, the other party didn't like it. works.
Nathan directly turned over the event brochure, placed it in front of his chest, showed it to everyone to browse, and said with a confused face, "I don't know, he did give three stars." After a moment of pause, he guessed and said, "Maybe It's because everyone else gave high marks, so he was a little embarrassed, right?？”
This is obviously impossible. Film critics at film festivals are never soft-hearted in giving scores. This is true for both high and low scores..
“Or else...it was printed wrong? "Nathan's final voice rose high and he said uncertainly..
“Why didn't you say that because he couldn't resist Renly's charm? "Roy, who was sitting next to him, interjected, obviously not agreeing with Nathan's random speculation..
Unexpectedly, Kerry and Joel nodded in agreement, so much so that Justin, who was eating French fries, almost spat out the food. Then he realized his impoliteness and waved towards Renly, trying to explain. After a while, I looked at Kerry and Joel for help, but because I was choking, I couldn't speak at all. I was really embarrassed..
Renly laughed dumbly, deliberately showed a meaningful look, fell on Justin, and then continued, "Since it is Samsung, we will accept it calmly. As for the specific reason, let the audience find out. Savor it carefully.”
Andy also expressed his agreement, "We can just read the opinions of film critics. The final judgment and choice are different for everyone. Personally, I like this work very, very much. I think It deserves full marks. Aren’t there still four-star reviews? Why haven’t I heard them yet?？”
Roy, who was sitting diagonally across from him, glanced at Andy with a helpless expression on his face, but Andy glared at Roy fiercely, then continued to pretend that nothing was wrong, and both of them looked at Nathan..
After yesterday's premiere, Andy was in a state of extreme anxiety, because after all, the film festival still cannot be inferred according to common sense, lest "Drunk Country Folk" would also be ushered in at the film festival just like last year's "Transcendence" The extreme evaluation of Ice and Fire is definitely not a good thing for Renly..
Although "Transcendence" finally received an Oscar nomination; but after a glorious year last year, more and more eyes are falling on Renly.——
On the one hand, the "Little Golden Man's Curse" still lingers. "The Ballad of Drunkenness" and "Gravity" are the works that Renly took after winning the Best Actor. Everyone is curious about whether the "curse effect" exists; On the other hand, after the victory of "Edge of Tomorrow", "Transcendence" has fallen slightly, which also makes everyone pay attention to whether Renly's career can take it to the next level, or whether it has reached a bottleneck..
In addition, Renly's conflicts with Diesel and Weinstein, and Renly's exchange of interests with Universal Pictures and Disney, all mean that Renly has now entered a higher level of the pyramid. Among them, the only thing he can use as a bargaining chip is his own market value..
“"The Ballad of Drunkenness" represents the prospects of the awards season and taking root in the independent film field; while "Gravity" represents the commercial prospects and the support of Warner Bros. For the planning and promotion of the future blueprint of Renly's career, these two films All works play an irreplaceable and important role.
It is precisely because of this that Andy has always been worried about gains and losses. Last night he was like an ant on a hot pot. But at this moment, Andy showed a nonchalant and generous attitude, which really made people complain..
However, the reason why Roy chose to shut up was because his performance last night was half-assed, not much better..
Now, after the official program was released, both Andy and Roy let out a long breath..
As for awards, they don’t push too hard.
If it is a competition during the awards season, they can also work well through the academy's public relations; but at the film festival, this system is almost useless, and it completely depends on the viewing preferences of the jury. It’s impossible to predict and manage. So, it’s better to have a normal mind and face it calmly..
Just like the 44th Cannes Film Festival in 1991.
At that time, the chairman of the jury was Roman Polanski, the director of classic works such as "Chinatown", "The Pianist" and "Rosemary's Baby".
That year, the average quality of the works in the main competition section was generally mediocre, lacking highlights and surprises. Many days after the opening of the film festival, there was still no eye-catching work, and even the news media seemed not lively enough..
For this reason, Roman expressed his dissatisfaction angrily, and privately protested to Gilles Jacob, the chairman of the film selection committee at the time, "With such a film list, what did you ask me to select?"？”
It wasn't until the penultimate day of the festival that "Barton Fink" directed by the Coen brothers was officially unveiled. Roman then happily nodded and expressed satisfaction, thinking that this was a so-called masterpiece..
At the closing ceremony and awards ceremony on the last day, "Barton Fink" swept the three trophies of the Palme d'Or, Best Actor, and Best Director. The Coen brothers also officially launched their brilliant career..
Therefore, everyone says that at the Oscars, nominations depend on strength, and winning depends on luck; and such rules are applied to the three major European film festivals, and they are even more worthy of the name..
For "Drunk Country Folk", it is enough that it has the highest score in the history of the official venue.！
