    Because of their different relationship with the crew of "Lanyu", after the screening, when they saw that Director Guan was busy, Gu Huxin and the others could just walk away without going up to say hello, but they were invited to attend the screening of "The Name of the Rose"  , we are not supporting the director we are close to and our own movie, it is a social business, so we cannot leave without saying goodbye, so we waited for Director Hou and other behind-the-scenes creators, as well as the leading actors to deal with the fans and reporters, and then said hello to them before leaving.  .

    After leaving the exhibition hall, Lu Meili shook her head and said bluntly: "I don't understand, such a bad movie can be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival. What do the judges think?"

    Yuan Qiaoqiao tried her best to explain to her, "Cousin, you can't say that someone else's movie is bad just because you don't like it. Most literary and artistic films are like this, and this is one of the reasons why the box office of literary and artistic films is not high.

    ¡°What¡¯s more, the judges not only look at the story, but also the film¡¯s shooting techniques, narrative techniques, use of lenses, story structure, depth of content, actors¡¯ performances, etc. There are many standards.

    We don¡¯t like it because we don¡¯t have the artistic talent, but it¡¯s better not to arbitrarily define it as a bad movie.  "

    Lu Meili retorted unconvinced: "The problem is that "Lan Yu" is also a literary film, but I think it is very good-looking, much better than this one."

    ¡°Although many literary films cannot be said to be works made by directors for their own entertainment, they actually reflect part of their mentality from a certain angle.

    The Taiwanese film market has been in collapse for decades, and despite the efforts of the Taiwanese authorities and Taiwanese film workers over the years, there are still no signs of recovery.

    What supports Taiwanese films today is the foundation laid by Taiwanese films and the international reputation of those literary and artistic directors in their early years.

    Relying on their past foundation, they were able to gain the right to speak in Hong Kong and mainland films. However, no matter how hard they controlled the production channels for external film exports, Hong Kong came from behind and gradually caught up; the mainland is still not able to do so now.  But as long as you give them time, even if you can't snatch them away, you can still do it by sitting down and sharing a piece of the pie.

    Therefore, even if it is to slow down the time when their production channels are dispersed, Taiwanese film directors still need to maintain their international reputation. Therefore, their artistic films are not for us to watch, let alone for the public.  It is not for the audience to watch, but for the judges of major film festivals.

    Director Guan himself is good at telling stories in literary films, and even though the Hong Kong film market is now in decline, he has experienced the prosperous period of the Hong Kong film market, and his mentality has not completely changed, so that aspect of his personality  The aloofness of literary and artistic young people has not been smoothed out by the local film market like Taiwanese directors, so when making movies, they will not compromise like them to please the judges.  "

    After hearing her words, Lu Meili nodded slowly and said thoughtfully: "I understand. In fact, it's just like that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.  , we Asian audiences didn¡¯t think it was good after watching it, but it suited the tastes of Western audiences, so the film was highly rated in their eyes.¡±

    "Yes. However, director Li An is of high standard. Even if we think his movies are not good to watch, we will not find them bad and will not blame them on bad movies. However, other directors in Taiwan are not as good as him and are pursuing the artistic quality of their films.  Sometimes, it is inevitable that it will be unbalanced in other aspects, but that is not important, because the Europeans love their style."

    Gu Huxin, who was listening to the two of them talking, heard this and said with a smile: "Zhao Qiaoqiao, if you say so, Taiwanese film directors have not only given up on the local market, but also on Asian audiences. The films they made  All the co-written works were shot for the judges, just to be shortlisted for film festivals and win awards?¡±

    "Absolutely. Although most literary and artistic films are boring, Taiwan's literary and artistic films are more highbrow. Relatively speaking, literary and artistic films from Hong Kong and the Mainland are more down-to-earth, and the public can still accept them whether they like it or not, while those from Taiwan are more down-to-earth.  few."

    Gu Huxin thought of the reporters who had just seen surrounding Director Hou and the others, especially the questions from the reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and said with some confusion: "But I just saw that the reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan spoke highly of Director Hou's film.  , they admire it very much"

    Speaking of reporters from RTHK, Yuan Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh, "Auntie, you'd better not believe what reporters say, especially reporters from RTHK.

    These reporters who were able to come to the screening were all invited by Director Hou. They had either made friends with him or spent real money on him. Therefore, even if the movie was extremely bad, they would only praise it and not say it was bad.  Even reporters who run such a large international film festival cannot stop the fact that they are working in the entertainment section, so don¡¯t have too high expectations for their ethics.  "

    Having stayed in Hong Kong for a relatively long time, I still have a poor understanding of the ethics of entertainment reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan.Lu Meili, who knew her better, couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing her words, and said with a smile: "Mom, there is a joke in Hong Kong about journalists working in the entertainment section of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

    ?? said that if they reported that there were stones at the bottom of the xx river in Xiangjiang, people would not be able to confirm it even if they ran over and saw it with their own eyes. They had to go down to the river and touch it with their own hands to feel the true feel of the stones.  "

    Although Gu Huxin has always heard that the industry is deep and there are many tricks, and she has heard a lot of things, but because she does not specifically manage Xinyuan's affairs, many things are just hearsay and have no deep feelings. But this time she came to the film festival  , in just a few days, she felt that she had gained more than she had since coming to the imperial capital.

    Thinking of what she heard and saw these days, she couldn't help but shake her head and sighed: "It's just a film festival, with so many things going on, it's almost going to be a mess.

    However, the more Taiwanese films do this, the further away they are from local audiences. In this way, let alone revitalizing the Taiwanese film market, their fame will only be limited to the film industry, and they will become increasingly unknown to the public and become a niche.  The route was not a good one.  "

    Lu Meili smiled and said: "Mom, you really don't care much.

    ??For directors like them, the public is nothing, their ability is to continue to get investment to make movies.  No matter how highbrow the movies they make are, in reality, they all have to eat and support their families. So, what¡¯s wrong with sellers trying to please buyers when the public doesn¡¯t buy into their movies?  "

    Looking at her cousin, Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled and said nothing, but she agreed with her words in her heart.

    The market for artistic films is in Europe, especially France, which has specialized art film schools, and France and its audiences are also particularly interested in Asian artistic films. Therefore, most Asian artistic films are sold to Europe.

    Because the value of the currencies on both sides is different, literary and artistic films can make back their money as long as they are sold. Because of this, when Asian literary and artistic films cannot make back their money at the local box office, there will be a steady stream of investors investing in literary and artistic films.  .

    Otherwise, if literary and artistic films really don¡¯t make money, how can so many people be willing to continue investing and shine selflessly for this?  Businessmen are essentially profit-seeking.

    As for those directors, they are actually ordinary people. The first thing they think about is survival issues, and then other things.  After surviving and becoming famous, even if they find that they have gone against their original intentions, they have no other choice and can only go to the dark side.

    Therefore, no matter how much effort Taiwanese film directors say in public that they have made great efforts to revitalize Taiwanese films, they are all just rhetoric. To Taiwanese and Asian audiences, their films are just mirages. They look good, but inside they are  is fake.

    No matter what Gu Huxin, Lu Meili and Yuan Qiaoqiao think of the Taidao director, and how they evaluate it, it will not affect the evaluation of the film "The Name of the Rose" after the screening.

    Cannes has two film reporting journals, "Daily Screen" and "Hollywood Reporter". They will publish a special issue every day during the film festival, summarizing and commenting on various recent events and films broadcast, as well as  Some newspapers, during film festivals, will also publish comments and impressions of film critics and audiences after watching the film.

    Compared with the mixed reviews after the screening of "Lanyu", "The Name of the Rose" did not receive high reviews. Most of them were criticisms, and the score was not high, less than three points. However, several film reviews mentioned Shu Qi,  Her performance was the highlight.

    The media in Hong Kong and Taiwan "taken the story out of context" and almost praised Shu Qi to the sky in the reports they sent back. In their reports, it was as if the Cannes Best Actress trophy had already become hers.

    Although the Gu family¡¯s mother and daughter did not see the report sent back by reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Gu Huxin heard about the news because she had to deal with them at work.

    Gu Huxin couldn¡¯t sit still immediately. She reluctantly finished the matter at hand and ran to Yuan Qiaoqiao, ¡°This time Shu Qi will win the Best Actress in Cannes. Have you heard?¡±

    Holding the page of the "Lanyu" report in "Daily Screen", the two sisters were complaining about how poor the quality of the films at this film festival was. They were actually upstaged by a film that was invited to participate in the festival. They were considered  If it can be used as an entry film, it will definitely be a strong competitor to other films in this film festival and can win the grand prize. After hearing her words, the two of them were so shocked that they froze there.

    Yuan Qiaoqiao reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Auntie, just listen to this kind of gossip, don't take it seriously.

    Shu Qi's acting skills are indeed good, but I'm not belittling her, nor am I trying to elevate myself. My performance in "What Time Is It Over There" was not inferior to his at all. If she can win the award, then I will  Where to put it?  The judges¡¯ eyes are pretty good and they don¡¯t have glaucoma.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Got glaucoma.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
