Some people may say, isn't "The Truman Show" also a literary film?
But in fact, although "The Truman Show" is a literary film, this movie is full of selling points.
Moreover, the movie has a lot of fun points. The key is that it is a fantasy film that can be regarded as soft science fiction.
"Sowon" is a serious reality-themed film.
In today's era where fast food culture is prevalent, more and more people watch movies just for "entertainment". When faced with a slightly in-depth topic, they suddenly feel obscure and are unwilling to watch it even if they say they "can't understand". In addition, such movies have unique characteristics.
The rhythm and expression are different from ordinary popcorn movies, which have intense transitions. This is an important reason why literary and artistic genres and realistic dramas have gradually become far away from mainstream audiences and have failed at the box office.
Why did "I'm Not the God of Medicine" become such a hit?
On the one hand, it hits the pain points of the masses, on the other hand, in fact, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" actually has a strong commercial element to a certain extent.
The closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was broadcast online in China.
Although not as many people watched the Oscars live broadcast, it was definitely a lot.
At least for the broadcast platform, it is definitely not a loss.
Of course, if Li Yi can win an award, no, it should be said that he will definitely win an award, but if he can win a grand prize, such as the Palme d'Or, or an award such as Best Director, then the ratings will inevitably skyrocket.
From this point of view, the influence of the three major European companies is still not as great as that of the Oscars.
Another point is that the Oscars are only one night, and they take place in Hollywood, where the film industry is the most developed. Every time, it is a gathering of superstars.
But the Cannes Film Festival, the entire film festival lasts for ten days.
In fact, the most exciting thing is not the closing ceremony, but the opening ceremony.
Compared with the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony seemed a bit deserted, of course, that was only in relative terms.
Of course, the excitement was still very lively. A bunch of reporters crowded on the right side of the red carpet, aiming their guns and cannons at the stars walking on the red carpet.
The awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival was concentrated at the Palais des Festivals, which was already filled with a bunch of filmmakers from all over the world.
Everyone greeted each other warmly.
And Li Yi... I'm sorry, he doesn't really know many people here. On the contrary, Chen Wen knows many filmmakers here.
After all, Chen Wen can be regarded as a direct descendant of Cannes, and it was from Cannes that he won his first Best Actor.
Although many people say that the reason foreign film festivals like Chinese independent films is because they are willing to expose the messiness of the motherland, sell the dark side of domestic society, and flatter the Western value system.
But when you get here, you will find that this is really not aimed at China, because the list of films in the main competition section here, whether it is China or other countries, most of the films are like this!
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you won’t find it strange.
The so-called boldness of independent films lies either in the subject matter or in the themes expressed.
Realistic themes are undoubtedly the easiest to find and the easiest to get into.
In fact, Li Yi does not reject this point. It is not impossible to expose the dark side of society, but it cannot be exposed in a generalized manner.
If the special case is regarded as the general rule, it is not exposing the dark side of society, but it is smearing it!
Although "Suwon" also exposes the dark side of society, it is not a special case. It can even be said that this kind of phenomenon is an issue that needs urgent attention and discussion from all over the world.
The Chinese film market continues to be booming and has attracted worldwide attention.
As the first commercial film director in China, Li Yi was originally out of reach of them. After all, he was not in the same circle. But with the beginning of "The Truman Show" and "Su Yuan", Li Yi made two consecutive films with stronger literary and artistic qualities.
When movies appeared, it was natural for them to enter the literary and artistic film industry.
Naturally, the status has also increased.
No, although he doesn't know these people, there is no shortage of people who want to know him.
It can be regarded as reaping the dividends of the prosperity of China's film market.
Even if he can have two films enter the main competition, and even have a high probability of winning awards for both films, it cannot be said that he is not taking advantage of the rise of the Chinese film market.
In fact, after receiving an invitation letter to the closing ceremony, the news that he would attend the closing ceremony of the film festival spread back to China.
The media has already started to cover it.
"Two Chinese films, "The Truman Show" and "Su Yuan," have been confirmed to participate in the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival!"
"Li Yi may be crowned Palme d'Or and win glory for the country again!"
"After five years, Chinese-language films are once again expected to compete for the Palme d'Or!"
After the media reported it, fans naturally became more enthusiastic.
After all, being able to win awards and not being able to win awards are two different things.
The Cannes Film Festival is different from the Oscars. There are actually not that many awards at the closing ceremony.
The most eye-catching one is naturally the top prize, the Palme d'Or, which is equivalent to the Oscar for Best Picture!
Then there is the Jury Prize, also commonly known as the second prize.
This is about film awards, and there are also four awards for individual awards, Best Actor and Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Finally, there is the Camera d'Or, which is equivalent to the Best New Director Award, and is often called the Best Debut Film Award!
Interestingly, the difference from the Oscars setting is:
First, the Actor Award in Cannes has no distinction between leading role and supporting role;
Second, the Screenwriting Award at Cannes does not distinguish between original and adapted screenplays.
Therefore, who is specially invited to attend the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival means that they are sure to win the award.
In addition, there are not many awards, so this invitation to the closing ceremony is very valuable.
However, due to the three major European film festivals, double yolks and triple yolks occasionally appear, and the most outrageous ones are even directly wholesaled.
Just like the best screenplay, there is usually more than one movie.
Back to business.
"By the way, "The Truman Show" and "Su Yuan" are both sure to win awards, so wouldn't it mean that the minimum is two awards?"
"That's what I say, but Cannes is different from the Oscars. They can have double yolks. Multiple people can win awards for Best Actor and Best Actress, Screenplay, Palme d'Or, and Best Director!"
"It would be interesting if two films directly win the award for Best Director."
"And best script...haha!"
What the fans said is actually not impossible.
The three major European film festivals also like to organize their activities. After all, if they want to arouse discussions and expand their influence, how can they not do some activities?
Li Yi is undoubtedly one of the best targets for this year's Cannes Film Festival.
At around 7:30 Cannes time, the closing ceremony officially began.
By the way, the time difference between China and Cannes is six hours, which means that at this time, it is actually already midnight in China.
But it didn't stop movie fans from staying up late to watch the closing ceremony and awards.
There are not as many preludes and interspersed talk shows as there are in the Oscars.
The closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is actually very simple. First the jury makes a collective appearance, and then the awards ceremony begins directly.
