Chapter 496 Closing Ceremony Invitation

Some people may say that "The Truman Show" is not 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 cool points, the key point is that this is a soft sci-fi movie.

And "Su Yuan" is a serious realistic film.

In the contemporary era where fast food culture is prevalent, more people watch movies just for "entertainment", and feel obscure when faced with slightly in-depth topics. The rhythm and expression are different from ordinary popcorn movies, which have a fierce transition. This is an important reason why literary genres and realistic dramas are gradually moving away from mainstream audiences and the box office is dismal.

Why is "I'm Not the God of Medicine" such a big hit?

On the one hand, it hits the pain points of the general public. 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 on the Internet in China.

Although not as many people watched the live broadcast of the Oscars, but definitely not 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 an award, such as the Palme d'Or, or the best director award, then the ratings will inevitably skyrocket again.

From this point of view, the influence of the three major European companies is still not as influential as that of the Oscars.

Another point is that the Oscars ceremony is only one night, and in Hollywood, where the film industry is the most developed, every time it is called a gathering of superstars.

But the Cannes Film Festival, the entire film festival lasts for more than 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, only in relative terms.

Of course, the excitement must still be very lively, a bunch of reporters squeezed on the right side of the red carpet, aiming at the stars walking the red carpet.

The Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony is concentrated in the Festival Palace, which is already filled with a bunch of filmmakers from all over the world.

Everyone greeted each other warmly.

And Li Yi. Sorry, he really doesn't know many people here, but Chen Wen knows many filmmakers here.

After all, Chen Wen can be regarded as a direct descendant of Cannes, and the first actor was obtained from Cannes.

Although many people say that the reason why foreign film festivals like Huaguo's independent films is because they are willing to expose the mess of the motherland, sell the dark side of domestic society, and flatter the Western value system and so on.

But when you get here, you will find that this is really not aimed at Huaguo, because, frankly, the list of the main competition unit here, whether it is Huaguo or other countries, most movies are like this!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it will not feel strange.

The boldness of the so-called independent films lies either in the subject matter or in the theme of expression.

The realistic theme is undoubtedly the easiest to find and the easiest to cut 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.

Special cases are regarded as common, that is not exposing the dark side of society, those who are on the horse are discrediting!
Although "Suyuan" 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 to be paid attention to and discussed from a global perspective.

The Huaguo film market continues to boom, which has attracted the attention of the whole world.

Li Yi, as the first commercial film director in Huaguo, was originally out of reach of them, after all, they were not in the same circle. However, with the beginning of "The Truman Show" and "Suyuan", Li Yi has made two consecutive films with more literary and artistic qualities. With the emergence of movies, it is naturally considered to have entered the circle of literary and artistic movies.

Status is naturally rising.

No, although he didn't know these people, there was no shortage of people who wanted to know him.

It can be regarded as a dividend from the prosperity of the Huaguo film market.

What's more, he was able to enter the main competition unit with two films, and even two films have a high probability of winning awards. It cannot be said that he has not been blessed with the rise of the Huaguo film market.

In fact, after getting the invitation letter for the closing ceremony, the news that he will definitely attend the closing ceremony of the film festival was sent back to China.

The media has already started to report it.

"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 the Palme d'Or and win glory for the country again!"

"After five years, Chinese films are expected to compete for the Palme d'Or again!"

After the media reported, the fans naturally became more enthusiastic.

After all, being able to win an award and not being able to win an award are two different things.

The Cannes Film Festival is different from the Oscars. There are actually not so many awards at the closing ceremony.

The most watched award is naturally the number one award, which is equivalent to the Palme d'Or for Oscar's best picture!

Then there is the Jury Prize, also commonly known as the second prize.

This is about film awards, and there are four awards for individuals, best actor and actress, best director, and screenwriter.

Finally, there is the Golden Camera Award, which is equivalent to the best new director award, and is often called the best debut award!
Interestingly, the difference from the setting of the Oscars is:

First, the actor award in Cannes, there is no distinction between leading role and supporting role;
Second, the screenwriting award in Cannes does not distinguish between original and adapted screenplays.

Therefore, for the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, which people are specially invited to attend, in itself means that they are sure to win the award.

In addition, there were not many awards, so the invitation letter for the closing ceremony seemed to be full of gold.

However, because of the three major European film festivals, there are occasional double yolks and triple yolks, and the most outrageous ones even directly engage in wholesale.

Like best screenplay, there's usually more than one movie.

Closer to home.

"By the way, both "The Truman Show" and "Su Yuan" are sure to win awards, isn't that the minimum two awards?"

"That's what I said, but Cannes is different from the Oscars. People can have double egg yolks. Best actor and actress, screenplay, Palme d'Or, and best director can all be awarded by multiple people!"

"It would be interesting if the two films won the award together for best director."

"And Best Screenplay. Haha!"

Fans said, in fact, it is really not impossible.

The three major European film festivals also like to do some work. After all, if they want to arouse discussions and expand their influence, why not do some work?
Li Yi is undoubtedly one of the best targets for this year's Cannes Film Festival.

At around [-]:[-] Cannes time, the closing ceremony officially began.

By the way, the time difference between China and Cannes is six hours, that is to say, at this time, it is already midnight in China.

But it does not prevent fans from staying up late to watch the closing ceremony awards.

There are not as many preludes and interspersed talk shows as the Oscars.

The closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is actually very simple. First, the jury made a collective appearance, and then the awards began directly.
