Chapter 458 Art is a lie, but it tells the truth! A movie that caused a global sensation!
"Confession", written by Guan Ling and directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, premiered in Cannes a few days ago, causing a collective shock in Cannes. According to reports from the media at the scene, the film is a large-scale dark film, because of the desire to release it in the mainland. , will eventually become a delusion."
"An immersive dark journey! A revenge speculation full of wantonness and pleasure, "Confession" changes the style of Hou Hsiao-hsien's previous films and leaves a lasting impression on people. The profound impression and unique visual style make people feel the fear and despair from the deepest part of their hearts!"
""Confession" is definitely a masterpiece that explores the pain of the abyss of human nature! The movie sends chills down people’s spines!”
“A confession belonging to three people, whether they are an avenger or a murderer, each of them has their own reasons for killing. After being emotionally hurt, They have never received the love and respect they want!”
"A thriller movie in the name of love! "Confessions" depicts redemption with terrifying truth, making people's breath turn cold!"
"The premiere was extremely popular, but after the movie was played, the scene was filled with excitement. Shocked to the point of silence! What did "Confession" do to the Cannes audience? "
"A shocking work that reveals the darkness and distortion of human nature! Guan Ling brings his first thriller and ethics film to Cannes!" br>
When these news are forwarded from the local news in Cannes to the country.
Countless domestic audiences are already filled with shock!
Everyone's heart is filled with a big question mark!
“Is Guan Ling bringing intensity to Cannes again? Why is he so unseen in the world?!”
“But speaking of it, exposing the darkness of human nature is not as good as the one that caused South Korea to explode before. "The Crucible" is still dark? I am so excited by these news that I feel like I will watch this movie now. "
Sitting in the "Bottom Hot Girl" in the Magic City. "While taking a short break at the director's chair at the filming site, Guan Ling's phone calls came one after another.
"Director Guan, you exploded."
"You just exploded."
Looking at the call from Ning Hao, Guan Ling was furious.
"Have you sold the copyright? You can't sell the copyright of "Wunwen Xidong" for 30 million US dollars, so don't come back as soon as possible."
"You, I am calling Let me tell you, you want me to sell a film with pure Chinese values like "Wonder of the West" for 30 million? "How cruel are you?" Ning Hao said resentfully.
"Do you need to notify me? Director Hou has called me a long time ago. Shi Nansheng and Du Qifeng have also sent messages of concern and condolences. What's more, Fan Bingbing and his group have gone there early. You guys really haven't even had a moment yet." Let me stop. Go to France for your honeymoon with your sister-in-law. After finally going to the romantic city, why don't you impress her?"
Ning Hao suddenly blushed, "Look what you said, I thought. I'm just like you."
But Ning Hao had nothing to say when facing Guan Ling.
For Guan Ling, the Cannes explosion is probably commonplace now.
But after the explosion, many people still called Guan Ling to tell them the good news.
However, Ning Hao was still very happy that Guan Ling said these words to him, because Guan Ling only said these words to him because of his good relationship with him.
Shi Nansheng, Du Qifeng, and Guan Ling definitely would not have this attitude.
But the rumors that can be obtained on the Internet are naturally making waves in the industry.
Start with the premiere on the day.
The content of the movie spread instantly across the three places across the Taiwan Strait. Although the movie has not yet been released, it has been exposed to the attention of the entire industry.
"It's a sensation again? Why is it so easy to make a sensation in Cannes?"
Brother Chen Kai learned the news at the filming site, and his lips couldn't help trembling,
"I won't win another Palme d'Or. Right? "
He was really panicked.
Although Guan Ling has won more awards at Cannes than him, the gold content, especially the biggest gold content of the Palme d'Or, is still the same between the two.
It would be really shameful to let him take another one.
But then I thought about it, this movie was made by Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Brother Chen Kai felt comfortable again.
Hou Hsiao-hsien's shooting was fine,
As long as Guan Ling doesn't take it again, his status as Director Chen will still be here and he won't be pushed too far.
……
The filming of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has also entered the final stage.
After hearing the news, Zhang Yimou's eyes were slightly cold, and there was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.
“Large-scale dark film? I have never seen Guan Ling shoot a film of this type before. This time I work with Director Hou, I am sure that I will definitely gain something in Cannes.”
Seeing it before Hou Hsiao-hsien, who has not entered Cannes for many years, is now being discussed crazily in Cannes.
Zhang Yimou had complicated emotions.
The connection and entanglement between him and Cannes is so deep that he has never been there since he cut his seat.
But now, seeing Guan Ling and Hou Hsiao-hsien, an old man and a young man, continuing to fight in Cannes, he has some thoughts.
……
A new day, the focus of film and television public opinion online and in the industry.
Except for "Fast and Furious 5," which has exploded in the past two days, only "Confession" is left to bomb Cannes.
"Fast and Furious 5" had a huge opening at the box office on its first day. The prime night screening was packed with seats. More than 70% of the audience gave the film a five-star rating, especially the fierce battle sequence at the end, which topped the list.
“No peeing spots throughout the entire movie! This is the most adrenaline-charged movie this year!”
Especially when it comes to racing, whether it’s racing against a train in the Gobi Desert, or The short-distance drag racing after stealing a police car, the "car" always stimulates the audience's nerves. In the final fierce racing battle between two cars pulling safes, the audience screamed when the safes hit police cars one after another.
A single-day box office of 41 million!
It can be said that Hollywood popcorn movies have achieved quite good results in the country.
In fact, the first-day box office of this movie should not stop here, mainly because this movie attracts too few female viewers. It is difficult for many female viewers to accept this kind of purely male speeding action movie, especially the beautiful beauties in it. Bikini, with its huge white swaying, stimulates the hearts of gay men, but it is difficult for lesbians to have any psychological fluctuations.
It even made some viewers feel vaguely ashamed of themselves.
For this audience, the box office will certainly not be very high.
In addition, the May Day prime time has passed, and "Fast and Furious 5" can only eat the leftovers of "Wunwen Xidong".
But even so, on the first day, "Fast and Furious 5" overturned "Wuwen Xidong", which had been at the top of the list since the end of April.
It exceeded the 37.62 million achieved by "Wuwen Xidong".
The simultaneous release of several new films has also made the audience full of enthusiasm, and the entire film and television market has continued to rise, even driving the imported blockbuster "Thor" and Gu Changwei's new film "The Favorite" to continue to rise.
Even the first Ultraman movie to enter China, "Heroes of the Universe: Legend of the Galaxy", although its audience is limited and the number of screenings is not advantageous, the attendance rate is very objective, ranking fifth. .
It was shocking to the extreme.
Especially with the upcoming encounter with "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", this fight between dragons and tigers is inevitable.
But other than that, the Internet is full of clips asking for resources for "Confession."
"Director Guan Guan's new Cannes film "Confession" cannot be released in the mainland, so we can only secretly seek resources online."
"It has not been released in Taiwan yet, and the resources today are all fake."
"No, I've already seen it. But for such a big director like Guan Ling, how can the screenwriter write some color films, which are still made in China."
"You were deceived upstairs? ? Spend money? Give me Kangkang.”
Post bars and forums, many netizens are discussing a movie that no one has seen.
Suddenly, someone appeared to give an explanation. In order to prove that what he said was true, he also sent a few photos to prove that he was in Cannes.
This piece of content itself was only seen by few people, but with the dual promotion of forums and Weibo, it suddenly swept the domestic entertainment industry.
Weibo directly reaches the top of hot searches,
[Art is a lie, but it tells the truth - Thoughts after watching the film "Confession" directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien and written by Guan Ling]
The person who posted this content is a netizen named Renzituo.
“I was in Cannes and went to watch the screening of “Confessions” today. I went in with a smile, ready to see what this sensational and shocking movie, which has been widely reported by domestic media, is like.< br>
I rarely watch movies. I have never seen "Wonder of the West", which is very popular in China. Even the two Palme d'Or movies, by Chen Kaige and Guan Ling, I have never seen. .
I came to this theater just because I was on a business trip in France recently and wanted to kill some time to see what the collaboration between the two so-called strongest directors from mainland China and Taiwan would look like.
I went in with a smile.
But when I came out, my whole body felt like an electric shock and my head was buzzing. I must admit, my smile faltered.
Do you know about electric shock? Anyone who has been electrocuted knows that when the electric shock spreads throughout the body, the whole person feels as if he has fallen into an ice cave and becomes extremely stiff.
This is how I feel.
It is difficult for me to describe the emotion at that time, because it is too complex and it is too difficult to describe.
But what I think of in my heart is just an old Chinese saying.
He is just a child.
I have heard this sentence many times. From elementary school to work, I have seen this scene many times.
Chinese people always like to show their generosity. They have many admonition-style philosophies, such as come and go, I’m a child, don’t be angry, it’s for your own good, it’s the New Year... and so on, there are too many to mention.
I don’t like this mentality, and I don’t like the Chinese people’s moderation, especially these modes of moderation, which are inherently hidden in the viciousness of human nature.
Just two months ago, I continued to pay attention to a news.
There was a woman in the south who kowtowed three times at the entrance of Guangzhou's "Nanfang Daily" and walked all the way to the sports center, which shocked the passers-by around her. She knelt down and walked three times for more than a thousand meters. Many hours.
Because a rich man from Guangzhou said that as long as she did as he did, he would give her 20,000 yuan to treat her daughter who had eye cancer.
But the mother knelt down for a long time, but the rich man in Guangzhou did not give out the 20,000 yuan.
This move went viral on the Tianya Community Forum, attracting attention and criticism from the whole society. After this rich man from Guangzhou was doxxed, he lost his job. In just three days, the mother raised as much as 200,000 yuan for charity. Ten thousand.
When the whole society found out about this rich young man from Guangzhou and humiliated him, that mother defended him.
It turns out that all this planning was originally planned, hyped and promoted by him.
Without him, this mother would never have been able to raise so much money.
Later, when the news asked him if he had no regrets after losing his job, I will always remember his words.
“At this point, we must have a medicine guide to save the child.”
"What medicine is introduced?"
"A human heart."
"As a mother, I am willing to use my heart to exchange for the health of my children."
"No, it is to use My heart."
He borrowed the dark side of human nature, borrowed the trust and viciousness of society, raised funds for his mother, put himself into the game, and finally achieved his ultimate goal.
And in "Confession", the evil I saw in it was a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times worse than his evil.
Everyone is evil, but everyone has his own logic of behavior.
From this point of view, there is no difference between the heroine's revenge and the mother's kneeling. They are both mothers, but one begs for the birth of her daughter, and the other begs for the death of the murderer. With her as the protagonist, it is more consistent. The simple values of us Chinese people.
This movie broke my heart.
I will probably never watch a movie again, but I still want to say something.
He is just a child, but please... never let him go! ”
This film review has no logic, but it is full of hilarious jokes.
In just a short period of time, it instantly triggered a heated discussion on the entire Internet!

Mixed with various quotations and social hot topics, coupled with the recent explosion of popularity of "Confession", this article first aroused public opinion in Tianya, and then completely exploded on Weibo.
For a while, netizens were all confused.
“What kind of movie did Hou Hsiao-hsien make? I was completely blown away by it! Will you never watch a movie again in this life?”
“I am really getting more and more interested in movies now. I’m curious!”
“The incident of kneeling down to save a woman in Guangzhou really shocked me. It can be called a modern strategist’s personal involvement!”
"Have you ever known the feeling of being electrocuted? Has this old man been electrocuted?"
"Mother, take revenge! Don't let the child go! Guan Ling's new movie won't have any plot that hurts minors, right? !”
This film review posted by an amateur instantly became the latest hot topic on the Internet, triggering a huge discussion among the audience.
But it’s not over yet.
On May 17, a piece of news from Agence France-Presse completely detonated the headlines of domestic public opinion.
"The French Minister of the Interior requires all French middle and high schools to watch the movie "Confessions" together in the first class of the new year!"
This news may not seem very popular, but it is full of charm.
For a time, there was a lot of public opinion about whether to release the movie in mainland China.
So prepare to review it again.
Come up with a feasible plan for this movie.
