Chapter 398 Rating
Many people think that Europeans like art films, but this sentence is not accurate. Like in China, European audiences also like Hollywood blockbusters and Hollywood stars.)?)?)?)?)
Otherwise, Hollywood blockbusters would not have been able to seize the European film market.
However, the audiences who can come to the Venice Film Festival are basically enthusiasts of art films, and they come for art films.
Art films, as the name suggest, refer to literary and artistic films.
"Spring in a Small Town" is a standard art film with a soothing rhythm, subtle emotions, and calm waves. There are almost no too fierce conflicts from beginning to end. They are all trivial daily life fragments.
It has few characters and simple plots. The director penetrates the camera into the complex and contradictory hearts of the characters and reveals the subtle emotional relationships of the characters. It is a typical psychological lyric film.
To put it bluntly, the plot is dull and has no **.
When watching such a movie, you cannot expect the audience to give too much reaction, which can make the audience excited, applaud enthusiastically or something.
That's unrealistic. As long as it can attract the audience and prevent them from drowsy.
Lin Zixuan observed the surroundings and found that it was fine.
Although some viewers left the show during the screening, most of the audience did not show boring expressions, but were watching the story seriously.
These audiences should prepare for watching movies at the Venice Film Festival in this way. Art films are not for fun, they need to be carefully savored.
He focused on the reporters and film critics. The reactions of these people were different. People focused on the film, and people kept remembering something in their notebooks from time to time.
After watching the video, they will rate a movie in newspapers and magazines, which directly affects the popularity of the movie.
Although this popularity does not have any substantial help in awards, it can attract the attention of film manufacturers and audiences.
Ninety minutes passed, and the video ended. From the young doctor returning to the small town, to the young doctor leaving the small town, this spring passed quietly, leaving the audience with a sigh.
In the screening room, applause gradually sounded, not very enthusiastic, nor too excited.
The audience seems to be immersed in the plot, or they think the film is OK, that's all.
Lin Zixuan could not judge the reaction of these Western audiences, but Mark Muller, who was sitting next to him, said something to remind him.
"You have to watch this video several times, and you will feel differently every time you watch it." Mark Muller sighed.
Lin Zixuan thinks this should be the case. Western audiences have a layer of dissection for oriental films. It is indeed difficult to understand the implicit emotions of oriental people, which is different from the Western people's attitude towards feelings.
Even in China, "Spring in Small Town" needs to be watched several times to taste it better, let alone Western audiences.
Although art is interconnected, there are differences in cultures in different countries, and this difference cannot be compensated by films.
"Spring in a Small Town" is not the kind of exciting video, it is a bit dull.
Therefore, the audience who are extremely excited to see oriental movies and even ask for autographs is unlikely to exist at Western international film festivals, so it is good to be able to applaud politely.
This shows that they recognized this film, at least not a bad one.
This is for ordinary audiences, and for critics and judges at the festival, they watch movies in different angles.
Ordinary audiences watch the storyline, while professional filmmakers watch the film's lens language and narration, as well as the use of colors and the actors' performances, which are a comprehensive consideration.
Ordinary audiences will just pass by watching it once. There are many excellent films at the film festival, and they will not watch "Spring in a Small Town" again. In order to discuss a film, the judges have to watch it repeatedly and grasp the details.
In other words, the audience's reaction can be used as a reference, but it cannot represent the view of the filmmaker.
When the applause rang, Lin Zixuan brought the director and the actor to come forward and bow to thank him.
The audience ended and reporters gathered around.
"Lin, where is the heroine of this film?" the reporter asked.
Lin Zixuan was quite speechless, and these people were thinking about the heroine. Yu Feihong, as the center of this film, performed very well.
"She went to London." Lin Zixuan replied.
"London? Oh, that funeral." The reporter suddenly said, "It's a pity. I want to give her a visit."
"She will be back tomorrow, we can make an appointment." Lin Zixuan suggested.
The first step to becoming an international movie star is to increase exposure and being reported in foreign media is always a good thing.
Tian Shishi, Director Chen and others were surrounded by reporters and film critics, especially film critics, who were very interested in Tian Shishishi.
The screening ends, everyone returns to the hotel and waits for tomorrow's media reports.
The next day, the staff of Haomeng Company bought back the reports related to "Spring in Small Town", mainly in English newspapers.
Lin Zixuan can understand English. As for newspapers in other languages, he can only read pictures or ask hotel staff to translate them.
"How is it?" Tian Zhizhe asked.
This is a video he made, so he is naturally very concerned. He is banned from working as a director in China. This time he committed crime against the wind, and the pressure on the field in the form of a lot of land was very important, which involves the matter after returning to China.
If "Spring in a Small Town" does not win any awards and returns to China, the media will definitely expose this matter.
Domestic media are this kind of virtue. If you succeed, they will add icing on the cake. If you fail, they will add to the injustice.
"It's not bad, the scores are above six points. Several media also gave high scores of eight points. The evaluations are mainly positive and there are few negative ones, which are higher than most of the videos currently screened." Lin Zixuan explained.
"I remember that Kitano Takeshi gave him nine points." Tian Jingzun said worriedly.
Mark Muller reminded them that the competition for this film festival is fierce, and many famous directors have come. There are many Asian filmmakers alone, such as Zhang Yimou and Takeshi Kitano who is talking about the situation of returning to the field.
Takeshi Kitano was originally a crosstalk actor, but later entered the film industry and became a film actor. He then began to be a director and had a great reputation in the Japanese entertainment industry.
His films are very personal, cold and silent.
There are not many people who can play cross-border games so well, and Take Kitano is one of them.
The film he brought this time has won a lot of praise at this film festival, and the media gave a high score of nine points, making him the contender for the Golden Lion Award.
"The media's ratings cannot represent the judges' opinions. His film is a tragedy, violent element, and can resonate with the audience and the media. In comparison, our films are more artistic, and ultimately depends on the judges' opinions." Lin Zixuan analyzed. (To be continued.)
