2384 Can't stop
“After the premiere yesterday, I had a chat with the editor-in-chief of France's 'Cinema Scene'. He said that this was Lanthimos's most accessible film and also his best film. I disagreed, and we had a heated argument. Obviously, I still prefer Lanthimos in the 'Dog Tooth' period.”
“I agree with that sentence: it is the easiest to be accepted by the public. Because Lanthimos has explained the rules of the entire dystopian world many times, it is indeed easy for the audience to accept..”
……
“The reaction from North American journalists is generally positive. I met a Canadian journalist who said that the humor effect is full of surprises and he is very hopeful of winning an award..”
“Well, me too, a reporter from 'Variety' even said that the first part is a bit like Luis-Bunuel, which is very good; the second part is like Francois-Truffaut ) of 'Fahrenheit 451', but feels slightly unstable.”
“What? Isn't this too exaggerated? Buñuel and Truffaut both came out? How ridiculous! I think it’s probably Renly’s impression. The media are obviously willing to be more positive..”
“You can say that, but I think Renly's appearance made those people more demanding..”
……
“I have talked to at least five French journalists, and their views are all very similar. They like the first part, but the second part is a little tired. At the end, I still rely on Renly, which should be the mainstream view in France..”
“‘The editor-in-chief of the Independent Telegraph directly gave a high score of 'A-', saying that it was the biggest surprise in Cannes this year so far. I even began to wonder whether the American independent film circle has reached a consensus..”
“oh? You mean, you think they're favoring Renly?？”
“No, that's not what I meant, don't get my point twisted. I mean, the work deserves praise, but an 'A-'? Is this too exaggerated?？”
“……This is what I mean.”
“Okay, that's what it means. I just think that 'B+' might be good, but 'A-' is too much..”
“So do you think the Coen brothers would like it?？”
……
Breathing, chirping.
The reporters who were waiting in the lobby of the villa could not hold back their excitement and curiosity, and began to exchange their opinions, good and bad reviews, positive and negative, all kinds of opinions they had received during their time in Cannes. Everything is surging, and you can feel the unparalleled heat of "lobster" from the side..
From yesterday to today, the "lobster" debate has still not been able to find a clear context. Instead, it has become more and more intense as time goes by. It seems that everyone is thinking more and more complexly, and the indescribable vague emotions are becoming more and more complicated. It has spread all the way and still cannot be unified..
Even the reporters and editors-in-chief of major professional magazines are watching and discussing with each other, just like testing the water temperature, observing the direction of the "lobster".
Now, all eyes are directed towards the Cannes Film Festival program, wondering what the ten most representative and authoritative media think of this work; further, what is the prospect of this work in this year's Cannes, and whether Will continue Renly's consistent strong performance？
Unknowingly, the focus of attention gathered here.
However, Renly is still as stable as a rock? Both Bradley and Gavin strongly doubted whether Ogus and the other crew members could be so calm: standing at the center of a controversy is definitely not an easy thing. The sight and sound everywhere are pressure; and with good reviews Negative reviews have nothing to do with it. It is just a sense of oppression brought by the focus of attention, which can invisibly create urgency and anxiety..
“this is a good thing.”
Is this Renly's answer? This seems too simple, right?？
Seemingly aware of the surprised questioning looks from Bradley and Gavin, Renly chuckled and had to continue explaining.：
“I think this should be the purpose of Ouges. You know, bring up a topic, complete the interpretation in his way, and leave the rest to the audience for everyone to think about it. The more lively the discussion, the more The more it shows that Ogoth's goal has been achieved, it will be boring if it is all one-sided praise." Renly shrugged, "I guess the current situation is the best praise for the movie..”
Having said that, just like his own child, every director, actor or screenwriter always hopes that his work will be recognized.
“Renly, haven't you ever worried about the critical reception of your work? "Gavin asked curiously - after two years of blank time, some things seemed to have begun to blur, and the questions that were never clarified at the beginning are now coming to mind again..
“Is this the beginning of the interview? Or is it a side chat? "Renly did not answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked curiously..
Gavin was slightly stunned, and Bradley followed closely, "What's the difference?？”
“No, there's no difference, it's just that I need to wear a mask." Renly joked to himself, making Bradley laugh, and Gavin relaxed even more..
Renly's relaxed and witty humor allowed Gavin to find a familiar rhythm again, and his nervousness calmed down unconsciously, as if he had returned to the familiar time again..
Renly did not pause, and then replied, "I care and worry, that's for sure. After all, this is my work, a work that has been carefully selected and made with serious investment. I look forward to seeing everyone's feedback. Not so much Worrying about good and bad reviews is better to say that you care about all the comments.”
“This is still the case until now.”
“If someone criticizes my work, even if I know that the other person is right, I will still think about how to refute it; similarly, if someone praises me, I will also think about which parts are true and can continue to be developed or improved. And so on..”
“Rather than debating a high or low, it is better to say it is a process of self-reflection, because every work is a new beginning and challenge. During the attempt, you will inevitably face many uncertain factors, and it may not always go smoothly. There will still be ups and downs, and I need to calm down and look at the work..”
Although he was talking about a serious topic, Renly always kept a smile on his face, which made Bradley take the initiative to intervene, "There is a kind of stubbornness that does not admit defeat. Even though he knows that the other party is right, he seems to want to fight for it. But. After you come to your senses, you can reflect on yourself silently, right?？”
“Yes, that's it." Renly laughed happily, "I cherish every opportunity to exchange feedback. I still remember the first time I attended the Sundance Film Festival, one news comment could determine the entire day. Mood, the ups and downs, is like a roller coaster.”
“You can’t tell at all.” Gavin shook his head and expressed surprise..
Renly's eyes were full of smiles, "If you can see it, then my butler will probably ask me to practice basic daily etiquette again..”
Bradley and Gavin were speechless.
“So how exactly do you deal with these mindsets? "Gavin followed the trend and asked.
“Calm, restrained, restrained, without any skills, I will deal with it as you do. I am not a perfect man like Clark Kent." Renly said lightly, "However, with the growth of experience and age, I have also Gradually I realized that many times the negative comments on the Internet are unreasonable and have no context. If you don’t like it, you can overturn all the efforts of the entire crew by just saying "garbage".”
“Of course, they have the right to express their emotions; similarly, I also have the right to ignore their existence." Renly is still the familiar Renly, "Now, I will still pay attention to those media comments, but I will not let them affect me. mood. Believe me, my life can be easier if I get rid of these negative influences..”
Gavin also chuckled, "Well, you will still read the comments from professional media.？”
“Nathan and Roy can read." Renly replied, "But, to be honest, cookie-cutter reviews are losing their charm. Some people think that film reviews are also an art form. I think this is worth discussing; and the social network's Existence has given rise to a branch of art form.”
Gavin and Bradley looked at each other, and finally Bradley asked, "...what do you mean?？”
“Haha, obviously due to lack of sleep, my words lacked focus and jumped a bit, so you couldn't keep up. I'm sorry for my mistake." Renly laughed heartily, "I mean, film criticism is also an art form, so We should allow it to be diverse, including negative comments and comments that don’t make any sense..”
meaningful！
But... wait, how did their original problem begin?？
“Renly, did you read today's program? "Gavin finally found the focus of his question again..
“Not yet. Nathan hasn’t told me the results yet, what? Did you read any interesting comments? "Renly's eyes also brightened..
A small detail, Renly's focus is not on "good reviews" or "bad reviews", but on "interesting comments". There are no presets or expectations, so naturally there is no worry. This kind of emotion is revealed inadvertently. and attitude are exactly the best expression of what Renly said just now..
Gavin took out a venue brochure from his backpack, "Would you like to read it on the spot?"？”
“Haha." Renly took the show program from Gavin, "Why does this feel like a variety show from ten years ago? It has an old-fashioned feel..”
Bradley was also a little surprised that Gavin actually brought the program directly. He seemed to have already prepared it, hoping that Renly could read the program on the spot..
“So what about my interview topic? "Bradley strongly protested.
Gavin looked at Bradley with wide eyes, looking very nervous..
Renly smiled calmly, "What is the topic of your interview?"？”
“How do you feel about this comedy show? What’s the catch? Do you hope to continue acting in comedies in the future? After winning your second Oscar at the beginning of the year, your career as an actor has reached a new peak. How do you feel? Does it feel different from the first time? What’s next? What other goals are there? Are you looking forward to another breakthrough? Rumor has it that you've been in talks to return to the West End, and there's also talk of a comedy film with Paul Walker. Which one is correct? Do you have any special feelings about your career as an actor?？”
