Chapter 855 Back to the Shanghai Film Festival (44)



Simply speaking from a movie perspective, "Search" and "Hunting" are indeed of the same genre!

"Search", Ye Lanqiu, the secretary of a large company, unfortunately suffered from cancer. When she learned the result, she was frightened and refused to give up her seat to an old man on the bus. This incident was photographed by an intern reporter. After the editor reviewed the news

Ye Lanqiu became the focus of public opinion and was criticized as "morally bankrupt". Even the label of "mistress" was placed on her head.

In the end, Ye Lanqiu chose to commit suicide - after experiencing such a biting cold, there were not many choices a person could make.

"Hunting" is actually quite similar. Without any evidence, the male protagonist became the target of public criticism. His life that was originally on the way to getting better was ruined, he lost his best friend, and even lost the respect of the town residents for him.

trust!

The atmosphere of the whole movie is depressing, and the camera is cold and steady. Although the story takes place in a small southern town, you will always feel the coldness!

When the crime of sexual assault is pinned on the male protagonist, even his dog becomes a sinner. People can deprive an unconvicted person of the right to buy daily necessities at will...

The most important thing is the last shot!

——Public opinion makes it extremely difficult to rebuild trust. This is the cruelty of public opinion.

In a word, negative energy is overwhelming.

"Hunting" is indeed crueler than "Search", and Fumino's filming is indeed good - layer by layer of foreshadowing, leading to the evocative last shot. It seems that the male protagonist has reintegrated into society, but in fact it is clear that

Guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are hard to guard against. In this society created by the pressure of public opinion, the male protagonist appears to be a hunter who hunts animals, but in fact he is the real prey. And everyone around him can be regarded as a hunter, killing an innocent person.

People are pushed to the brink of death.

"Hunting" has a score of 8.9 on Douban.

The most upvoted one is, 'In many cases, the truth is not important to the onlookers. All they need is a fulcrum to stand on the false moral high ground. The pride is temporary, and they will forget it in a few days anyway.

, let the truth be drowned by new curiosity!'

Then there’s ‘People who watch this movie want to die, but... they still have to live, it’s really confusing’…

Shen Xudong posted a question on Weibo: If you were a small town resident, would you believe the little girl who is the male protagonist?

Then…

Shen Xudong himself chose to believe in the little girl, who is played by Zhang Zifeng: If I am a small town resident, why should a single old man ask me to believe him?

The perspective of the movie is that of the male protagonist played by Director Chen. The perspective of God cannot be replaced by the people around him, and the people around him cannot see his daily behavior!

We are human beings. Just like I was scolded before for why I eat animal meat. Are they wrong?

I always answer: Yes, they are wrong because they are animals, and I am a human being, and humans have to eat meat!'

Then Ning Hao came over to join in the fun: "Indeed, it is the easiest thing to accuse others from the standpoint of an outsider..."

Xu Zhengze said: "I watched "Hunting", three key words: truth, depression, despair. If I were the male protagonist Lu Anran, I can't think of a way to prove myself. If the little girl didn't tell the truth in the end, I wouldn't think of it either. The way to survive...it’s so desperate, I haven’t seen such a creepy movie in a long time!”

Shen Xudong replied: "That's because of the way the movie is narrated. The shooting technique is very straightforward, unpretentious, and has a gentle rhythm. There are basically no ups and downs, and it is a technique without any dazzling skills... Wen Mino is really amazing. If it were me, I would probably There’s going to be some flashbacks and stuff like that!”

Later, Chen Hao, Zeng Li, Tang Yan, Yang Xiaomi, Zhao Liying, Deng Chao, Chen Xiao, Zhu Yilong... and other artists joined the discussion.

There is quite a feeling that the world is actually as big as the north and the south. Seeking perfection is tantamount to being complacent. In your eyes, this is just a movie, but to me, it is a world. As the saying goes, only with shortcomings can we make progress. I like it. ', and then a bunch of celebrities said 'I like it too'...

Fortunately, "The Hunt" is a good movie... not "The Ferryman", and you don't have to act out the King's New Clothes...



"The Hunt" is very popular, and the box office is also good. It has exceeded 10 million for five consecutive days, and it beats "Men in Black 3"...

During the promotion, the publicity department specifically emphasized that there was no mention of "artistic films" at all, because they were worried that a large number of viewers who had objections to artistic films would choose to refuse to watch the movie...

It’s not impossible!

In recent years, through the unremitting efforts of many literary and art film directors, art films have finally been pushed against the public...

The box office is sluggish just because it is an art film and the audience doesn’t understand!

Well, to bring it back, "The Hunt" was released for five days, with a box office of 62 million, and then ushered in its opening weekend, and by the way, "Madagascar 3" also ushered in...

One of the stand-up series from DreamWorks Animation.

The latter had a box office of 23.8 million on its first day of release. Unfortunately, "Hunting" has become a phenomenon. On June 9, the box office in a single day was 28 million, and the next day it took 26 million...

It was released for 7 days, with a cumulative box office of 116 million.

The theater chain is also supportive, and several theaters have indeed given enough screening space for "The Hunt". In the early stage of the screening, there were basically about 15 shows a day, and in the later period when Hollywood movies came, the number was basically maintained at about 8 shows!

Gao Jun publicly stated: "Hunting" is different from a literary and artistic film. Publicity has played a role. Many viewers did not regard it as a literary and artistic film. Judging from the attendance and audience feedback, it is better than "Three Gorges" and "Tuya's Marriage" , "White Deer Plain" and so on are much better!

Shen Xudong obviously felt that many people around him were discussing "Hunting", including him attending the Shanghai International Film Festival...



Oh, he will definitely go to this year's Shanghai Film Festival to join in the fun.

He has no interest in the main competition unit - Venice, Berlin and Cannes have all sent him jury invitations, but he has declined them all!

Not interesting.

He found it boring even among the three major European film festivals, let alone the film festival!

He came to the film festival mainly to discuss the "Chu and Han" series with Ren Zhonglun, and also participated in the forum section.

This year’s forum section is very interesting, ‘The Redemption of Chinese Films’…

He first went to meet Ren Zhonglun and talked about the "Chu-Han Series".

Ren Zhonglun suggested: "I think the Chu-Han War of Hegemony needs to be something new, and the first one must require a large investment. How about "The War of the Giant Deer"?"

"Julu...Xiang Yu will break the cauldron and sink the boat in a battle?"

"right!"

"...I want to film "The Marquis of Huaiyin" first..."

"Han Xin? Why?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Han Xin has more creative space. Although there are many records about him, everyone only knows that he used soldiers like a god... Moreover, we have also selected the actors!"

"Oh? Who?"

"Deng Chao!"

Hearing Deng Chao's name, Ren Zhonglun no longer questioned, but asked: "...how much does it cost?"

"...I made an estimate. If we include the two wars, it will be 150 million. If we don't add the war, it will be around 120 million..."

"There must be a big battle!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Okay, then I will add the "Chu and Han" series to the film list release tomorrow."

"good!"

The two chatted about the film market for a while, and then Ren Zhonglun changed the subject: "...Do you know DreamWorks?"

"I know!"

"I mean DreamWorks Animation!"

"...I know, I have a good relationship with Jeffrey Katzenberg."

The operation is quite cool. I cast a blind sister to play the role of a blind girl.
Chapter completed!
