Chapter 276 Reception (2/5)
Movies produced by Chen Mengxi, or mainland movies, are difficult to enter the Hong Kong market.
——"Ip Man" is different. "Ip Man" is a very pure Hong Kong kung fu film...
"Painted Skin" Hong Kong box office was not worth HK$4 million...
But it is already very high. You should know that "If You Are the One" has not reached 1 million, which forced Director Feng to snorkeling: "I am very disappointed with the Hong Kong audience."
What's there to be disappointment?
At worst, don’t have the Hong Kong box office!
This thing is actually very easy to explain: because the context is different.
Let's give a small example.
When two people meet, they don’t like each other. If we think the language system of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas is probably like this:
"What do you want? Don't do it randomly, otherwise I will sue you and put you in jail."
"You are lucky today. Let's take a look. I won't let you go so easily."
After saying that, the two turned around and walked away.
How to say it in Northeastern dialect:
"What are you looking at?"
"What do you think?" Then the two of them fought together...
The language system is produced based on the characteristics of the environment and the characteristics of the population. Hong Kong and Taiwan were influenced by Western culture earlier, and their legal awareness was more deeply rooted in people's hearts. The conflicts in film and television works were relatively mild.
Don’t worry about whether it’s right or not in the Northeast. Try not to make noise if you can do it.
But science fiction and action movies are different!
Hollywood can become popular all over the world, bear fruit all over the world, and conquer cities and lands everywhere. It relies on the use of various latest technologies to continuously create visual scenes and special effects that shock the audience's minds.
So, the Hong Kong part is very consuming Hollywood...
They envy the situation of Sister Tianxian...
A heroine was smashed by $60 million!
Tsk tsk, Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin said we can fight too!
Sorry, Shen Langzi is not interested in the auntie...
...
The sky gradually darkened, and the guests who attended entered the Palace of Film Festival one after another. According to the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival, everyone in the crew of "Manchester by the Sea" fell at the end. They waited for a while in the VIP lounge, and then under the guidance of the staff, Chen Mengxi and his group walked into the screening hall.
Everyone in the theater stood up and applauded and paid tribute to the crew.
This is a rule, no matter whether you like it or not, it is a tribute to you!
Lumière Hall, the main venue of two thousand people, is also a large number of ordinary audiences in addition to guests and media personnel.
They all came to see Little Lizi!
Shenmengxi…
The title of the world's best-selling writer is far inferior to Jack.
Manchester by the Sea
There is nothing to say, the plot has been repeated countless times!
The biggest feature of this film is that it is real, so real that it can extend more detailed stories from each node. After thinking about many secret details, I feel that the story is more reasonable.
It slowly drains the hope of redemption, like a long emotional marathon, and then viciously tells you how to present other routines: this is not a story of uncle and nephew supporting him to get out of the shadow. Some mistakes cannot be compensated, some losses can never be compensated, and the harsh words we say to our lover cannot be taken back, and the vague light is only a moment.
This man dies every second of his life!
Of course, unlike documentaries, movies speak of pain very restrained and tolerant.
The montage-like intersection of two lines is very similar to reality and dreams, and Li is in it, constantly struggling and running away himself.
A large number of empty shots, especially sea view shots, form a strong response to Li's mood.
Pier in the wind and snow, boats in the harbor, and seabirds flying.
The sea, open, free;
Li, closed, escaped, immersed in his own trauma...
Just like his house in Boston, dark, wet, with only a small window, a photo of the child, that might be his only precious item…
Finally, until Li said the sentence "I 't beat it" and was caught off guard...
Lee still chose to return to Boston, but he said he was going to change to a place with multiple guest rooms, thinking that his nephew might go to see him...
Just like the cold winter passes and spring will come.
There seems to be no shocking progress, but there is some comfort.
Life is life, there is not so much chicken soup.
When spring comes, it will pop up and get some breath, which is also good.
The movie ended, and the entire screening room was silent...
There were even sobs.
It took a while before the audience applauded.
...
In contrast to the opening, when the movie ended, Chen Mengxi became the focus of the interview.
After all, he is the director of the movie!
"Life is destined to be full of regrets unless you can turn back time."
"Not all mistakes can be forgiven, not all pain can be relieved, and there is always time and powerless."
"I am very disgusted with the so-called redemption...some mistakes need to be made up for in my life..."
"Leon's performance is very accurate. A character like Li does not need to show his acting skills, nor does he have too many expressions... Indifference is the best protection for him, and he can hear the thunder in silence!"
There were a lot of reporters, Chen Mengxi answered a few simple words, and then left quickly...
The Movie Palace is not yours alone, and other participating movies will be screened later.
Xiao Li was also in a hurry to go back to where he lived - he lived on an island not far from Cannes...
There is no way, maybe I want to 'live back to the life of an ordinary person', Xiao Li is so popular!
Just now, before he got off the car, he caused a stir among the crowd. The high decibel screams around the red carpet were described by the media as "popularity can be proved by decibels."
Leonardo walked out of the sedan and caused riots, so that security guards had to come and rescue them.
Chen Mengxi is going to attend a cocktail party - he has to go, tonight will hold the Chinese Film Night Shining Cannes Film Festival and celebrate the century of Hong Kong movies...
It's really that long, I don't have the word count!
A large number of stars such as Du Qifeng, Liang Chaowei, Shu Qi, Yang Ziqiong, Zhao Buffy, Chen Kun and other stars and Hong Kong directors appeared on the beautiful Cannes Beach...
This includes the crew of "The Night of the Spring Breeze"...
Chen Mengxi is also a Chinese filmmaker on this trip, so of course he also has to participate.
This event was officially led by the Film Channel Program Center, Hong Kong Film Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Chinese Film Overseas Promotion Company jointly organized...
When he arrived at the scene, he was a little...unexpected.
Too many people come!
Like a vegetable market, old and small, men and women, Chinese and foreign, Wuyang, a large area of Wuyang!
There was also a Chinese movie night last year, but there weren’t so many people!
Chen Mengxi looked around and didn't know what to do...
"Mengxi, here!"
“…Chen Kun!”
He hurried over...
"Why are there so many people?"
"We all come to eat and drink... We only have the money to hold a cocktail party in Cannes!"
Yes, with the barrier of China, the Chinese film army is completely different.
Subprime mortgage crisis?
Do we live in the same world?
The reporters, including some small film dealers, really came in with shamelessness and ate and drank...
He and Chen Kun were complaining about foreigners' shameless behavior, and Buffy Zhao came over: "Mengxi, do you have time?"
"What's wrong?"
"There are many seniors from the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the backstage, and they want to meet you..."
Chapter completed!
