Chapter 917 adds fuel to the fire
Hot. Hot item. focus. flow.
Words are not important; what is important is that "Elephant" ignited the enthusiasm of the Cannes Film Festival and became the first hit of the year in an unexpected way.
The official program score is 2.1, even failed?
It doesn’t matter.
In fact, the ratings in the official program have become a trigger, further triggering people's discussion——
What do you think about the ratings in the official program? Agree or object? Is it higher or lower? What is an appropriate rating for the movie "Elephant"?
Everyone has their own opinions and can’t wait to try to share, discuss, communicate, become a connection and resonance, literally, everyone.
If you are in Cannes and have not seen "Elephant" by the third day of the film's premiere, then you will not be able to add anything to the conversation on the street.
To be precise, it’s not just Cannes.
All over the world, netizens who pay close attention to Cannes also use the Internet to express their opinions through discussions, and use this as a starting point to make a strong exit. Even netizens who do not pay attention to Cannes have noticed and joined the discussion one after another; but the really interesting phenomenon is Here -
These netizens are not in Cannes and have never seen "Elephant", but one or two of them express their opinions with clear-cut opinions.
Clear likes and dislikes.
Of course, there are supporters, and there are quite a few netizens who cheer for Anson; but there are even more haters, just through the preconceived image of the vase, and the condescending voices in Hollywood last year who sneered at Anson's "Sima Zhao's Heart" Same, express your disdain.
“I don’t like it anyway.”
"It is probably another piece of sensationalism."
"The main competition seat must have been obtained through a secret operation."
"I thought I could gild it, but it turned out to be a joke."
"Don't embarrass yourself with the vase at the film's venue."
Busty and lively.
The scores in the official program have become the strongest evidence for the trolls: Look, the official program said this, Anson should go to bed quickly.
Obviously they don’t know anything, but they are confidently pointing out the country one by one, not to mention holding chicken feathers as command arrows, even without chicken feathers they are still waving the command arrows with their bare hands.
However, this scene is amazing.
It is still 2003, and the three major European film festivals are still exploring online promotion methods, not even starting, and mainly rely on traditional media; therefore, there is often a certain delay in film festival news, and the general public needs to wait for reporters Only after our editors write the manuscript and publish it can we understand the grand situation on the front line.
Moreover, at this time, reporters do not use social networks to update news one by one in real time. They often summarize updates on a daily basis, and reader stickiness is relatively weak.
Most of the time, most of the audience waits until the closing ceremony and awards ceremony to catch up with the film festival news all at once.
Overall, at present, the discussion, attention, popularity, etc. of the three major European film festivals are limited. More people generally think that they are "artistic film festivals with highbrow" and are trapped in In this stereotype, if you are not interested, you are not interested, and you will not easily participate in discussions.
"Elephant" breaks such barriers.
With its unprecedented appearance and controversial attitude, the Cannes Film Festival has invaded the daily lives of the general public and attracted heated attention.
There is no doubt that this is the first time. Even the Cannes Film Festival itself did not expect it and did not notice it in time.
When the Internet wave came in full force, the Cannes Film Festival didn't know what to do and wasted the opportunity to further promote the film. But it's crazy enough to be so hot.
Subsequently, Roger Ebert's film review was officially published. This top film critic in the industry has the same top influence in Europe, and immediately caused a stir.
First, full marks. Roger gave it perfect marks, is this serious?
Second, Roger mentioned the position of the film and deliberately did not give reasons or solutions. This is a clever approach, but at the same time, this is also the part that countless film critics hate and complain about the most, because they I believe that movies can't just show phenomena. They need to give at least one context, so what on earth is Roger going crazy about?
Originally, the discussion was already heated and crazy, but now Roger is adding fuel to the fire, and the whole Cannes has exploded.
Roger was very calm about this, not only calm, but even contented.
That afternoon, someone in the queue to watch the movie asked Roger, "God, what are you thinking about?"
Roger smiled broadly, "This is what I want to see. ”
“A powder keg? Do you want to see the whole of Cannes turn into a powder keg?”
Roger, "Haha, no, discussion, I'm the same as Gus, I want to see discussion."
Later, Roger expressed his views clearly.
Facing various issues such as school violence and gun control, there has been a lot of discussion in the past two years, but it seems that they have not attracted more attention after all.
Of course, the movie "Elephant" can explore the reasons and solutions, but no matter what Gus's point of view is, he will not be able to convince the opponents, but may be drowned in countless works of the same type. ; And Gus chose another way, intercepting such a side and fragment, and interrupting it in an unreasonable way, with no antecedents and no consequences, igniting discussions——
Really making people realize The presence of elephants.
This is the precious thing.
Those controversies just prove that the information interpreted by different people's eyes is completely different, not only the movie, but also the problems presented by the movie, whether it is the ratings of the movie, the hot discussion on the Internet, everything is Proof that Gus Van Sant has accomplished an incredible piece of art.
Roger still firmly believes that Gus has shot a masterpiece, "Honestly, have you ever seen such a level of discussion?
The answer is that simple.
< br>Whether you like it or not, and whether you support it or not, Roger's film reviews have indeed created the effect of depth bombs, further exploding people lurking in the deep waters
As a result, "Elephant" became the first hit film in Cannes this year. It was even the first important film in history that broke the barriers of time and space and allowed people who were not in Cannes to participate in the discussion. An unexpected turn of events.
The craze is raging across the board and is still rising.
Then.
The second media day of the "Elephant" crew broke out again.
The day before, the crew had endured more than fifteen hours of bombardment from morning to night. I thought it might be a little easier next day; but I didn’t expect that the next day, the crew was still trapped in Surrounded by the media, the huge waiting queue has no end in sight.
The only good thing is that after the baptism of the previous day, this small crew quickly got into the state, and the work started in an orderly manner at a high speed. This made the interview go particularly smoothly, and the efficiency and speed were improved compared to the previous day.
Although but -
Despite the improvement in efficiency, the interview continued until 11:30 at night, working at high voltage and high frequency for 15 hours for the second consecutive day.
