The Liar Who Invaded the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 854
The next day, the media audition of inception ended and appeared in large quantities in the three journals of Cannes Film Festival, film critics'' Facebook and twitter, as well as the news media in China, Europe and the United States.
A famous European film critic first expressed his views on Twitter: "Inception is the most wonderful Chinese film I have seen at this Cannes Film Festival, including the Chinese film participating in the Cannes competition unit. Unfortunately, due to the subject matter, this film is destined not to enter the competition unit..."
Paralysis!
When he first saw this tweet on the Internet, Mai Xiaoyu once suspected that this guy was poisonous milk, supporting and deliberately pulling hatred for himself.
However, the subsequent media also praised inception.
"Inception is a very clever film, with rich details and complex narration, which brings the audience into a subconscious maze..."
"Huaxia created a surrealist thriller world, which is a bit similar to Jung''s theory, and poses a challenge to the viewer at multiple levels of reality and unreal. Rapid splicing and agile narration express the surreal world vividly and vividly, and present the consciousness of human brain with virtual image technology to the peak..."
"Inception is like the matrix plus the New York metaphor. People are fascinated by the discussion of anti physics, wonderful action scenes, powerful emotions and Huang Bo''s amazing performance."
"At the media audition of inception yesterday, when the music sounded after the film ended, I didn''t get up immediately as usual, but waited patiently. I found that the people next to me were the same. We all hope to see something at the end..."
"I really hope that at the end of the film, I can explain whether the top at the end of the film stops or whether the whole story is a dream or a nightmare, but it doesn''t. this led me to argue with some of my companions who participated in the audition last night on the way back and at the banquet last night, analyzing various problems and details in the film..."
"Inception is a stunning audition, a different Chinese science fiction film!"
……
European multimedia and film critics gave more praise and affirmation to inception; The three major Cannes journals of the current period also specially added content about inception, using more than half to one page to introduce the plot of inception in a positive tone.
Anyway, in their words, "Inception" is a film "not afraid of spoilers". Many audiences who saw the audition were full of "resentment" about the film with Chinese dialogue and English letters.
"I admit that Chinese is the most widely used language in the world. However, films have no borders. Cannes Film Festival is global. Why not use international English dialogue? This seriously affected yesterday''s film viewing experience. Well, I admit that I didn''t fully understand the film."
This is the comment of a famous film critic in the media column.
"In order to see the English letters clearly, I missed many wonderful scenes, which led to my deviation in my understanding of the film. Up to now, I still argue with my buddy about how many layers of dreams the film constructs."
An overseas publisher answered in an interview with reporters.
As the global agent of inception, Hualong film will not miss this opportunity.
They made such a slogan in the media: "theft" is a science fiction film that needs to be seen three times! "
An article in Cannes special issue of French film ridiculed a reporter of a British newspaper: "do you still insist that thief is a Chinese martial arts film in the cloak of science fiction?"
The media are not all praise and affirmation, and some media question the film.
An American media pointed out that "theft" draws on some ideas of "Blade Runner" and "2001 Space Odyssey", but in terms of philosophy and film depth, Huaxia seems very smooth, too timid and too hasty. "
"As a pan science fiction work with suspense theme, the plot structure of theft is too complex and obscure. The film''s reputation is certain, but the audience may not buy it because of its brain burning plot, which has cast a shadow on the box office of the film."
……
Regardless of what foreign countries say, the domestic media praise it all.
"Inception shocked Cannes, and the production of cute people made another success!"
"Director Xiao Xing''s perfect comeback," Inception "witnessed strong strength."
"Inception amazes Cannes, and cute pioneers domestic science fiction films!"
"The brain burning of Pan science fiction is better than money. The success of inception may point out a new direction for the domestic film industry to rush out of the country."
……
The media auditorium of a film represents the industry''s view of the film.
At home, this kind of media auditorium can be mixed with a lot of water. Investors, producers and distributors take paid means in exchange for the high evaluation in the industry and the high reputation of the film, so as to deceive the people who eat melons, so as to make a good box office when the film is released.
However, Cannes Film Festival, an International Film Festival, is not a competition unit. It wants to win awards and deliberately build momentum, so we basically won''t take this paid means to boast the reputation of the film.
The purpose of exhibiting in Cannes is to sell films and overseas distribution rights. Publishers in various countries will not be fooled by the reputation of the auditorium. Moreover, people are also old drivers in this field. Whether to buy a film or not depends on the vision and experience of their professional team.
As a result, the reputation of "stealing" is high, the moisture in it is greatly reduced, and the authenticity is basically certain.
From the end of the audition yesterday afternoon to the high praise of the media during the day, this suspense pan science fiction has attracted the general attention of filmmakers all over the world.
The science fiction theme in Chinese films has always been "desert".
Although this point is rarely mentioned, it has been widely recognized in the international film world.
"This man from Earth" has a hot global box office and can''t change that. It is a pure dialogue, drama style soft science fiction, with a small investment scale, and all the actors are Americans.
Inception is different.
The production cost of 150 million yuan is already a big production in China. The cast is composed of all Chinese stars. It is said that it is another science fiction film with big scenes and big actions. It is also known as "need to see it three times".
However, whether theft can represent Chinese science fiction films and carry the banner of Chinese science fiction films still needs to be proved with eyes.
Therefore, the next night, the premiere of "stealing" originally scheduled to be held in the medium-sized screening Hall of Lumiere palace was temporarily adjusted to a large screening hall in the afternoon.
This is not a small change. The number of film shows and premiere events arranged in the screening halls of Lumiere palace were formulated early. Temporary changes are bound to cause damage to one party. But there is no way. There are too many international film leaders who are very interested in stealing.
Almost all Chinese filmmakers, Chinese directors and stars in Cannes attended the premiere. Including Shu Qi, the Chinese judge of the main competition unit of this Cannes Film Festival, and an international chapter of the unit judge, all specially attended the premiere of inception.
There are also many filmmakers, big directors, big stars, photographers, behind the scenes production experts and other filmmakers from European and American countries, including those who have won awards in major international film festivals and Oscars.
Distributors from various countries also brought their own teams to attend and evaluate the film; The number of media reporters and film critics from various countries attending the premiere was more than that of the auditorium. Some people who had seen the auditorium made a special trip to see the usual foreplay. After the end of the foreplay, the lights in the auditorium were dark, and a feast of "how many layers of dreams in the end" began
……
At the same time, Mai Xiaoyu and Ke Haoyi are packing up and saluting in their apartment.
The air tickets have been booked, and the accompanying gifts have been purchased. It will be home in two days.
Mai Xiaoyu doesn''t need to worry about the overseas distribution of inception. Hualong film has already talked about the international agency of inception. They are responsible for it, and they are more professional.
Mai Xiaoyu still has a job in China. He has to take part in the role trial and make-up of Bu Bu; "Mao cheat" is almost ready. When he goes back, he runs in with the crew and it''s time to start.
Late at night, Mai Xiaoyu lay on the balcony, blowing the night wind, enjoying the night scenery of Cannes and talking on the phone with Shi Hao.
At this time, the premiere of inception has ended and the premiere dinner is coming to an end.
On the phone, Shi Hao first excitedly told him that the premiere effect of thief was very good; Then he talked about that during the premiere dinner, several people from Hollywood film companies specially chatted with Xiao Xing and seemed interested in inviting him to shoot in the United States; Finally, the attitude of publishers in various countries
In a word, he hopes that Mai Xiaoyu can postpone the domestic release time of inception, because he hopes that inception will be released globally at the same time this Christmas!
After calling, Mai Xiaoyu suddenly remembered that he had not asked about something and planned to call back. At this time, the doorbell rang.
Ke Haoyi opened the door warily and saw a beautiful shadow with a smell of fragrance and wine floating in front of him and jumping into the arms of Mai Xiaoyu
