Chapter 276 "Fireworks in the Day" 3.5 points!
"What does that horse symbolize, do you see it?"

"How can I not see it?"

"So, what exactly is the story told in this movie?"

"Anyway, you foreigners will probably like it very much."

"Ha, you can't say that, don't you like it?"

"Of course I like it. In fact, it can't be said to be perfect, but at least this movie is very attentive."

"Wow, I like the way you use this word."

"It's not easy in China. Forget it, you, a foreigner, don't understand. I won't tell you more. Let me just ask, how much score are you going to give this movie?"

"Hey, this matter is not something I can decide. We are democratic. Everyone needs to comment more before we finally make a decision."

"Ha... stop lying to ghosts."

"It's true! Long live French democracy!"

"Okay, I don't want to entangle you with this, then you can talk about it yourself, how much do you want to give?"

"Well...at least 3 points or more."

Teacher Cheng and Fang Dan finished watching "Fireworks in the Day" and there were so many things they wanted to talk about.

From human nature, to lust, to that horse.

But in the end it is still very real. How much score can your "Screen" magazine give?
Fang Dan is not stupid, he can make jokes, but this kind of thing about their meal must not be vague.

However, after saying goodbye to Teacher Acheng, Fang Dan couldn't sleep after returning.

After all, Fang Dan is an editor, engaged in literary and artistic work. He writes his own manuscripts and also reads other people's manuscripts.

But this time "Fireworks in the Day" really left a deep impression on him.

Although the issue of rating still needs to be discussed with other people, it is still appropriate to write a film review.

Ever since, I started writing eloquently, as if it was like a flood that could not be stopped at all.

Fontaine's angle is very sharp and direct.

Xing is the greatest source of happiness for human beings.

Yes, the French are so simple and direct.

A film review is like a pornographic article, written with great vigor.

Of course, Fontaine doesn't paint the film as that, in fact, it's too conservative in the eyes of the French.

Nothing is revealed at all. If it were more exciting inside the Ferris wheel and simply showed the two's true figures, this would be art.

Well, this guy Fontaine is absolutely French.

After writing the film review, I was not in a hurry to publish it. You know, I am also the editor of "Screen" after all. This article is to be published in the magazine, and of course, it has its own website.

"Screen" is the official program of the Cannes Film Festival.

The Cannes Film Festival, to be honest, is more prestigious than the Berlin and Venice Film Festivals.

This film festival has the largest number of publications, not only from "Screen", but also from many other magazines, and even many international people have commented on it.

For example, this year there is a team of filmmakers from Argentina who are preparing to participate in the International Film Critics Week section.

However, "Screen" has the highest status, so naturally it cannot talk nonsense.

Of course, in most cases, it does happen that it is difficult for a high-scoring film to win the Palme d'Or, and it will die if it is a hit.

What about now?
the next day.

Fontaine summoned his subordinates, who had all been sent out before. Their task was to watch the movie, come back to write a review, and discuss the ratings.

At this Cannes Film Festival, Chinese films were introduced to everyone relatively early.

So, what was the result?
"Let's all talk about it." Fontaine expressed French democracy.

A black guy was the first to say, "I had a hard time watching that "Martial Arts" movie. The fighting was pretty good, but the ending... ah! It turned out to be just like that! It was unbearable."

Everyone in the magazine knew that this black man was just messing around.

After all, in France, it’s not okay for a company to have only a few black employees.

But this guy likes to be lazy on weekdays.

Let's put it this way, the French are already very lazy, but they still think this black guy is lazy. How lazy can he be?

Therefore, everyone shook their heads at his words.

"What the hell are you talking about."

"That's right, talk about it carefully."

Facing everyone's doubts, the black guy looked full of sadness and anger, "Don't bully me! What I said are my true feelings, that is, that movie is simply unbelievable. Guess what the final ending is?" Ah, I've never seen such an ending before. No, it's not that I've never seen it before. It's just that this ending is so strange. It doesn't match the previous plot at all. It's... Well, can you imagine it? Originally, two people were competing in martial arts. It was very intense, but in the end, the evil man was struck to death by lightning."

Being struck by lightning, this...

"Haha...impossible!"

"Yeah, how could you shoot it like this?"

"This is completely funny, right? Why did you use this method? With this unexpected ending, is it possible that the director is trying to make everyone laugh?"

Many people don't believe it, and Fontaine himself doesn't believe it, because the martial arts movie is also made by a well-known director.

He is good friends with Teacher Ah Cheng, and Teacher Ah Cheng has collaborated with many Hong Kong and Taiwan directors. This "Martial Arts" is the work of the famous Hong Kong director Chen Kexin.

That can't be the case.

In fact, there is a simple logic involved.

For a story, whether it’s a novel, comedy, or movie, as for the ending, even if you don’t want the protagonist to defeat the final boss, devise something novel.

Then try not to use unexpected conditions.

Because it's very simple. Doesn't this unexpected appearance tell the readers or viewers that everything before was actually useless?

Anyway, as the author, I just want to let this guy die, and he will die.

No matter how reasonable this accident was, it was useless.

There is another key point, where is the protagonist?
What is the role of the protagonist?

But now, this "Martial Arts" has made such a mistake.Of course, maybe Director Chen Kexin wants to make some innovations, but this innovation is really not a very good attempt.

The "Screen" magazine staff laughed for a long time before it subsided.

"I watched "The Secret Fan of Snowflakes" and I thought it was pretty good, but it was just good."

A white woman came to review this movie. She is a woman and she should have special opinions about this movie.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this.

"How exactly?"

"Yes, what I saw are two Asian ladies."

"They are all beautiful."

The female reporter thought for a while and said: "I feel like I still haven't really let go in the end. In other words, it's not even as good as "Brokeback Mountain", but I just don't dare to make any breakthroughs! This may have something to do with some censorship requirements in China. "

Not to mention, this woman is quite powerful, and she also knows about the censorship in our country.

Being contacted by "Brokeback Mountain" shows that this woman is quite professional.

But if "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" wants to be released in our country, of course it can't do that kind of thing.

In this way, from a Western point of view, or from this white woman's point of view, she felt that this was not bold enough.

Or to put it simply, I have no guts!

This is also impossible.

In fact, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" has Huayi's investment in it, and Huayi will never invest in a film that cannot be released.

The female version of "Brokeback Mountain" is not Brokeback enough.

So, let this movie go.

After that, there was another one, "Favorite".

"I think the acting is very good. This movie is great. Zhang Ziyi is also great. She is really good at acting. I checked the protagonists before and it seems that they are all big-name stars in China. They are all great. of."

The movie "The Favorite" was watched by a white guy.

He praised it for a while, but someone quickly refuted it.

"I feel a little weird."

A movie watched by more than one person, and the one who said this was an Asian young man.

So, what's so weird about it?

"I can't tell, but it just feels weird, really."

It's so funny, this person can't even tell what's wrong.

Could it be Heizi?

Of course, there is no need for this. They are just giving ratings and comments about the movie, and they are not deciding the final grand prize.

The man thought for a long time, but in the end there was no result.

"I really feel weird, but I really can't put it into words. I can't even describe this weird feeling."

Is The Favorite a strange movie?
But this person still said: "Actually, the story in the movie is very good, especially some parts, which are extremely ironic. At least, that's what I know about the situation in China. It's really ironic."

It seems that this person still understands Chinese culture very well.

In this case, let’s pass on this movie for now.

Then, there is the film "Fireworks in the Day".

Fontaine directly showed everyone the film review he had written, and then he said this.

"I think it should be given at least 3 points."

Inside the "Screen" magazine, there was a buzz of discussion.

……

This film festival lasts for less than two weeks.

There are naturally many units in it, but right now, everyone is paying attention to the scores of each venue.

Especially Chinese journalists who come from afar, how will our Chinese movies be rated?

And, most importantly, how many films can be shortlisted for Cannes’ main competition?
While waiting anxiously, the results came out.

The first is the status of the finalists.

“Only one Chinese film has been shortlisted for the main competition!”

""Fireworks in the Day" became the only one!"

""Martial Arts", "Snowflake Secret Fan" and "Favorite" were all rejected!"

"How is that possible? "The Favorite" is a literary movie with many stars!"

Only "Fireworks in the Day" was shortlisted, that's the only one.

The news spread among the Chinese journalists in Cannes in an instant because it was so unexpected.

That's not to say "Fireworks by Day" shouldn't be a nominee, but what about "The Favourite"?

You know, forget about the other two movies, if you don't like it, you won't.

But the movie "The Favorite" is a blockbuster film that gets what it wants.

There are stories, famous directors, and big stars.

Even an all-star cast.

But the result was that he was not shortlisted for the main competition unit!
what happened?

Then, the ratings came out.

"Fireworks in the Day" 3.5 points!
This is the highest score of all movies so far!
