Chapter 529 Why didn't you get the Palme d'Or? (Seeking the moon
If you browse around on various major forums, especially the main battlefield for fans and black haters, you can almost say that there are corpses everywhere.
Moreover, these "corpses" did not come from the fierce battle that had just occurred, but were dug out of the "graveyard".
"I heard that this movie is neither popular with Chinese nor foreigners? I understand, Cannes is not run by foreigners."
"Cannes has been expelled as a foreigner by black men. From now on, it is recommended that the country accept the homeless Cannes, move it to Jingzhou, and rename it Tengda Film Festival."
"Tengda Film Festival? Are you implying that Tenda's deep pockets bribed the jury? Congratulations on finding out the truth! (dog head)"
"This movie is really popular because of marketing. If it doesn't do well at the foreign box office, just go to Cannes and win an award. Marketing is a hammer! (Gotou)"
"Now it seems that "Better Tomorrow" has indeed occupied a good schedule. If it had been placed in a better schedule, it would probably have taken the pants off several other popular movies."
"At this moment, big-budget movies that didn't collide with "Better Tomorrow" should be kneeling down in the living room to celebrate, right? The more they think about it, the more scared they become."
"Can you tell that joke again? Which one? It's the one about foreign blockbusters. 'Journey to the Stars! Here comes the real foreign blockbuster!' Hahahahaha!"
"I heard that foreign audiences don't like this, and today the foreign theater chain not only extended the release date of "Better Tomorrow" but also added additional films. Once again, we solemnly inform all foreigners: watching this movie may lead to the risk of being expelled from the country, please be careful.
Watch!”

Similar comments can be seen everywhere in various forums, and the previous comments and posts of those scumbags have been uncovered and repeatedly criticized.
Many black people were beaten until they could live without mercy. They either deleted their comments or closed them. Most of them could only pretend to be dead.
There is no way, grades are the best slap in the face!
Previously, the scumbags made a crazy fuss about the poor overseas box office performance of "A Better Tomorrow", almost to the point of saying that this film was only liked in China but not in foreign countries.
As it turned out, the awards at Cannes were so heavyweight that they directly turned things around, and all previous comments were undermined!
Pei Qian leaned on the boss's chair and remained speechless.
It’s not that he wants to see these things, he really can’t do it!
Discussions are happening all over the Internet. Even if you want to read a girl on Weibo, you can find relevant content. It is a 360-degree infiltration without blind spots. The "corpse" of the black men is hung everywhere and they are whipped repeatedly.
, it simply makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.
Pei Qian silently mourned for these warriors in his heart.
"I have made you feel wronged! The next movie will definitely help you clear your grievances! Please believe me again!"
After scrolling through some popular discussion posts, Pei Qian was thinking, should the matter of "Better Tomorrow" be over now?
The heat is too long-lasting!
I never expected that a movie would have such great stamina. From the time it was released in February to now, the popularity on the Internet has never stopped.
The most terrible thing is that every time the overwhelming Internet popularity increases the number of purchases and plays of "Better Tomorrow" currently hanging on Ellie Island.
Pei Qian was very puzzled. It was already this time. Why were there still new viewers?
This couldn't help but remind him of that very famous meme, who hasn't bought GTA5 yet?
Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.
Now that you have experienced all the nightmares you should have and won awards at international film festivals, it’s time to stop, right?
Everyone has been looking for embarrassing angles, can we finally conclude the story and let this movie rest in peace?
Pei Qian plans to stop paying attention to this matter and let it slowly dissipate.
However, just as he was about to close the web page, Pei Qian accidentally glanced at a post.
"Why did "Better Tomorrow" win the Jury Prize?"
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh, hey, another embarrassing post from a conventional angle.
He has seen too many posts like this.
When "Better Tomorrow" successfully won the Jury Prize, various popular self-media had already published many such posts. They were just to popularize the importance of Cannes and the Jury Prize, and talk about the last time a domestic film won
The story of this award, and finally let’s analyze why “Better Tomorrow” was able to meet the taste of the Cannes jury and successfully win this award. By the way, let’s reiterate the spiritual connotation and artistry of the film.
Pei Qian has read many such manuscripts and is not very interested in them.
However, seeing that the popularity of this post seemed a bit unexpected, Pei Qian hesitated and clicked in.
However, just after reading the first sentence, Pei Qian almost fainted.
…
"When you see this title, do you think I have to talk about why "Better Tomorrow" won the award again?"
"wrong!"
"What I want to ask is, why did "Better Tomorrow" win the Grand Jury Prize instead of the Palme d'Or?"
"Everyone knows that this year's Cannes awarded the Jury Prize to "A Better Tomorrow" and the Palme d'Or to "Journey of the Soul," a Southeast Asian film."
"Many people were ecstatic just because "Better Tomorrow" won the Jury Prize. They didn't seem to have thought about this question, why didn't "Better Tomorrow" win the Palme d'Or?"
"In fact, just by comparing, you will find that "Better Tomorrow" and "Journey of the Soul" have many similarities."
""Journey of the Soul" tells the story of a poor farmer who saw the souls of his deceased family members after suffering from a terminal illness, and followed the souls to find his past life. The film uses non-professional actors, and most of the dialogues between the characters in the play are
The shots were improvised and the shots were rarely edited, but long shots were used.”
"Although "Journey of the Soul" shows an exotic look and some supernatural elements, which seems to be more in line with the taste of the Cannes jury in pursuit of artistry, it has to be said that compared to "A Better Tomorrow", this film is
Even in terms of artistry and connotation, it doesn’t have such a clear advantage.”
"On the contrary, "Better Tomorrow" is about concerns about the gap between rich and poor, the alienating effect of money on people, capital's manipulation of technology to control people's lives, and people turning into data. Compared with "Soul", it can obviously trigger a wider range of
The resonance and connotation are more profound."
"Because many people in China don't understand Cannes, they instinctively think that domestic films are not very in line with the tastes of the jury, so it is normal not to win the Palme d'Or. This is definitely a misunderstanding!"
"In my opinion, the jury should also be very optimistic about "Better Tomorrow" compared to "Journey of the Soul". According to rumors, the Palme d'Or actually went through three rounds of voting before it was finally decided."
"Obviously, the seemingly final awards ceremony actually has many twists and turns that we can't see."
"Considering that "Better Tomorrow" has already won the Jury Prize, which is the de facto second place in the main competition, then "Better Tomorrow" will definitely have a place in these three rounds of voting."
"That's why I asked the original question, why didn't "Better Tomorrow" win the Palme d'Or?"
"If you agree with the above conditions, then please continue reading."
"In my opinion, there are two reasons why "Better Tomorrow" lost to "Journey of the Soul" by a hair's breadth in the final Palme d'Or selection."
"First of all, there are unspoken rules for international film festivals. As we all know, in order to compete for better film resources and better maintain the gold content of their own awards, these international film festivals will give greater preference to films that premiere at the film festival to compete for awards.
"
"For some films that have won awards at other film festivals or have gained great popularity, film festivals such as Cannes often do not qualify them for selection, because this is tantamount to using their popularity to make wedding dresses for others, and for those' biological sons.
"Auteurs', that is, directors who premiere their films at film festivals for several years in a row, it's unfair."
"Unless it's a particularly good movie, we can make exceptions."
"And "Better Tomorrow" has already been released in overseas regions. Fortunately, the marketing is not strong and the attention is not high, so it is fortunate to be selected into the main competition unit and win the award with its own outstanding ability."
"But in any case, the fact that it was not premiered at Cannes made the score of "Better Tomorrow" in the hearts of the jury a great deal."
"The second reason is mainly my conjecture. That's what I say, and that's what everyone hears."
"Actually, the previous content of "Better Tomorrow" should be very in line with the taste of the jury, but the question is...do you still remember the easter egg at the end of the film? That is, a pistol was thrown at the door of the hero's door?"
"As for whether this easter egg will please the judges... everyone can judge for themselves."
"Perhaps without this easter egg, the probability of "Better Tomorrow" winning would be a little higher."
"Finally, let me tell you something interesting."
"Do you know that there was a film that won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes in 1998? That is, 13 years ago, it won the same award as "A Better Tomorrow."
"The name of this movie is "Life is Beautiful", "la vita è bel", the English name is "life is beautiful"."
"And the English name of "Better Tomorrow" is "torrow is beautiful"."
"Thirteen years later, two equally excellent works with similar names have won the same award. There seems to be some strange connection."
"What's interesting is that although "Life is Beautiful" only won the Jury Prize, its reputation among domestic movie fans is far better than that of the Palme d'Or that year."
"In short, we should be happy that "A Better Tomorrow" won the award at Cannes. However, we should not feel regretful because it just won the Grand Jury Prize. This film definitely deserves more praise than we imagined, so let's look forward to it together
Feihuang Studio, 'the light of the domestic film industry', will create more and better works for us in the future!"
