Chapter 429: Attacking cheese from both sides
Xu's version of "Untouchable" tells the story of Li Yu (played by Yu Yuyu), the daughter of a wealthy family in Hong Kong. Due to an accident, he became a high-level paraplegic and needed the care of a full-time nurse for his daily life.
And the young girl A Qing (played by Lu Qanyao) who has just been released from prison.
For some special purposes, she made a fake resume to participate in the interview. During the interview process, she did not treat Li Yu as a disabled person at all. Instead, she won Li Yu's favor and kept her.
The core of the entire movie can be described by two inner monologues.
One sentence is from Li Yu: "In this world, Aqing is the only one who doesn't treat me as a disabled person. Of course, she doesn't treat me as a human being either.
But I like this feeling. Her appearance is a kind of salvation for me, just like her name, it makes my sky covered by dark clouds become a little clearer. ”
The other sentence is from A Qing: "I saw that in her mutilated body, her soul stood up again, and so did my soul. Perhaps, I should also learn to face life better."
As I said before, "The Intouchables" is a healing movie. The process of the two heroines healing each other also heals the audience.
Moreover, this movie also has a core, which is the discussion of care for people with disabilities.
In other words, the movie also has a certain social depth.
Therefore, it seems to be both relaxing and thought-provoking. At the same time, Yu Yuyu and Lu Qindao also contributed their most life-like acting skills here.
The combination of the two makes this movie even better.
Wait until the end credits end.
There was even a burst of applause and praise from the jury.
But the applause and praise were extremely harsh to Zhang Yujiao's ears. No one knows how much she rejects the idea of new Chinese female artists making their mark internationally.
She hopes to maintain her special status as the youngest Chinese international superstar until her predecessors are too old to be active anymore.
She is the only female artist with an international reputation.
How cool is it to be the only one?
How big is the benefit of being the only one?
Therefore, she has repeatedly suppressed female colleagues who want to make a career in the international community, both covertly and openly.
Because of this, after watching "The Intouchables", her first reaction was disgust, extreme disgust.
If "The Intouchables" is a two-male movie, then she doesn't feel it yet.
But this movie is a two-heroine movie in the true sense.
The story is brilliant, and the two actresses' performances are even more brilliant. This makes Zhang Yujiao feel like a light is on her back, a lump in her throat, and she is sitting on pins and needles.
Don't think it's an exaggeration.
You know, Zhang Yujiao can be the camera and everyone's face in order to grab the C position for a domestic event photo, let alone a movie like this that may threaten her actual status?
So, when others applauded and praised, she endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but said: "Oh, it is really a movie that has no basis in reality and relies purely on imagination.
Dear friends, you may not know how greedy and violent the Chinese caregivers are, and the Chinese are full of discrimination against the disabled.
I think the scenes in the movie would never appear in China. Of course, maybe in the West, because Westerners are known to be friendlier.
So, my personal evaluation of this movie is average. The performances of the two female leads are even more average. If you don't understand Chinese, you can't tell how bad their lines are just by relying on subtitles. ”
As soon as these words came out, the other judges who were originally discussing the movie with great interest were all stunned.
Before they could speak, Zhang Yujiao continued: "However, please forgive me, my review will still be written in a good direction. Again, this movie is a Chinese movie, and I must encourage it.
To be honest, I really hope this is a good movie, but unfortunately, our filmmakers have been so disappointing in recent years, hey~~"
She sighed as she spoke, looking like she hated it.
The reading is confidential and no electronic devices are allowed. Moreover, everyone present had a tacit understanding, so Zhang Yujiao was not afraid that her words would be spread.
Just like that, another four hours passed.
Her hatred completely disappeared, replaced by excitement on her face.
"Oh, my God, compared to "The Intouchables", I think "Night Without Dawn" shot by Lu Ye is really great. It simply profoundly restores the true situation of homeless people in China. < br>
Yes, you may not believe it, but in Pengcheng, one of the four most developed cities in China, there is a place called Sanhe where many people live because of the scarcity of jobs.
I have to choose to work part-time. Unfortunately, even part-time jobs take three or four days to find a job, and the income from the job is extremely meager.
This forces them to live in Internet cafes, eat cheap food, and search for work information through computers day and night.
Everyone, this is a movie that can truly represent China. This movie truly focuses on ordinary people in China. It is not comparable to the fictional content of "The Intouchables". ”
Zhang Yujiao's comments echoed in the reading room again.
The evaluation this time is "Night without Dawn", which was shortlisted for the main competition along with "The Intouchables". From Zhang Yujiao's comments, we can also see who the protagonist of this movie is.
It is the legendary God of Sanhe.
To be honest, for foreign filmmakers, they prefer to see the downtrodden and degenerate side of China, so that they can maintain a sense of superiority.
Therefore, they originally liked watching "Night without Dawn".
But at the same time, people have common feelings about certain emotions, so they also like "The Intouchables". However, after being stirred up and down by Zhang Yujiao, these judges' feelings about "The Intouchables" changed. In addition, this kind of movie that reflects the beauty of Chinese people's humanity must be boycotted.
Therefore, everyone's ratings of "The Intouchables" began to move in a lower direction.
Xu Xiyu didn't know all this. He had just finished shopping with Lu Qinyao and was frowning at the news.
["New Paradise·Wangxian" premieres overseas today, with a large banner on the homepage for recommendations and full promotion resources! 】
[The 12-hour playback data of "New Paradise·Wangxian" is bleak, exceeding 10,000, and the negative review rate is as high as 85%! 】
["New Paradise·Wangxian" was so popular overseas, is it cultural differences or quality issues? 】
[According to industry insiders, "New Paradise·Wangxian" became popular in China because domestic science fiction-themed dramas are generally weak, similar to the situation of "a short boy can win a general";
Therefore, if the drama is placed in an overseas drama market with diverse themes and generally high quality, it will naturally not be able to replicate its success in China because its quality is indeed lacking.
This has nothing to do with cultural differences. All in all, if Chinese dramas want to go overseas, they still need to improve their quality and polish their content.
Furthermore, science fiction dramas require imagination, and people in our country are born with a lack of imagination. This is the difference between race and education.
We are good at summarizing the past, and white people are good at looking forward to the future. Therefore, we should not challenge others’ strengths. This will lead to passivity and poor performance]
[Fart it, I have been in the United States for so many years, and there are a lot of bad American dramas, but you can’t see them - IP America]
[There aren’t that many bad reviews, right? Everyone around me is watching it, and everyone likes it quite a lot - IP America】
[Don’t wash your little bitch, hurry up and drive the screws. What’s the point of hanging a ladder in a foreign country? 】
[I'm washing your mother. To be honest, is that called washing? What are you guys talking about? 】
[Are you people sick? Where did Netflix give a big banner recommendation? Why didn’t I see it? I have to search to find it]
[Good guy, are you so stupid to spread rumors? 】
[Urgent, Danzhu’s dog is in a hurry (the dog’s head sticks out its tongue)]
【We are not in a hurry, who knows who is in a hurry】
Seeing this, Xu Xiyu was also a little helpless.
He really didn't expect that what Cheng Yunqing said yesterday would come true so quickly.
And, it’s so simple and crude to implement.
In my own mind, I still have to create a lot of hype to raise the profile of the overseas broadcast of "New Paradise·Wangxian".
Results did not rise.
Let's start with the rumor that "New Paradise·Wangxian" has received huge resources to promote it.
Whenever someone questions it, they immediately say, "They spent 175 million to buy it back. Is it possible not to promote it? Grow your brains, open your eyes and see the world."
Immediately afterwards, the playback data of "New Paradise·Wangxian" was sluggish, and the negative review rate was very high.
Good guy.
This operation was embarrassing for Xu Xiyu.
The reason for the numbness wasn't that he thought he would really be affected that much.
But he feels that the current domestic netizens are not fools. Your operation is so rough, it can be said that it is full of flaws, are you fooling the devil?
By coincidence, Xu Xiyu guessed correctly.
He's really just fooling around.
They don't care at all whether you Chinese people believe it or not. Anyway, as long as the people who approved the funding believe it, they think the most important thing is that it is effective.
This means whoever the client is, the work will be done for them.
It seems that Chinese netizens are the target group of these operations, but in fact, those who approve funds are the target group.
It was under this situation that Lu Qinyao suddenly spoke again: "The video of Zhang Yujiao's interview has also leaked out."
"Zhang Yujiao?" Xu Xiyu was stunned when he heard this, and then poked his head over.
In the video, a domestic entertainment reporter was interviewing Zhang Yujiao, who had just finished a round of film screenings, and was talking about two domestic shortlisted films.
Zhang Yujiao said: "It's very good. I think everyone's evaluation of "Night Without Dawn" is quite good."
"What about "The Intouchables"? Is it included in today's screening?"
""The Intouchables"? I personally like this movie very much. Sorry, I have to leave. I can't reveal more information."
Any normal person can understand the meaning of Zhang Yujiao's words.
That is, "The Intouchables" also received a cold reception from the jury at the Venice Film Festival.
The outline is almost finished, I will resume updating tomorrow, there are 4 chapters in total!
