Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 99 Popularity
After the screening of "Moon", it was getting dark, so Chen Hao and his party went back to the hotel.

Chen Hao, who came to his room, looked at Gao Yuanyuan with a smile and asked, "It's been a long night, do you want to talk to someone about your life?"

Gao Yuanyuan's face was slightly red, she rolled her eyes at Chen Hao and said, "I've been on the plane for a whole day, I still don't have a good rest!"

Hearing this, Chen Hao made a bodybuilding pose, "Beauty, you may not know my strong body very well, but I..."

"Don't listen, don't listen!" Gao Yuanyuan covered her ears and ran into her room, not giving Chen Hao a chance to use her tongue.

Seeing this, Chen Hao could only smile and shook his head, and went into his room to rest.

The next day, when Chen Hao was eating breakfast, he searched for several newspapers, wanting to see the European media's evaluation of "Moon".

As one of the three major European film festivals, the Cannes International Film Festival is naturally the focus of European entertainment media during its holding period. Many European countries have stationed reporters here, and they naturally have their own comments on the film.

"An unsolvable loneliness
The rigorous sci-fi logic of cloning makes the word loneliness so unforgettable in the movie "Moon". Watching this movie requires strong patience and not afraid of entangled thinking.

It brings me back to the old topic, how does human self-awareness work?

If consciousness can really be cloned at will like the body, how can we keep a clear mind?Know exactly what you are?
Brain-burning suspense has also become the node of this work to vent emotions, and as the almost only actor in this work, under the interpretation of Xu's one-man show, the film creates an excellent sense of suspense with humanistic ethics. . "

"No memory is the loneliest
It's a very, very sad film.

It's a really lonely movie.

It's a really beautiful movie.

Sci-fi films are so elegantly shot.

At the end of the movie, I watched the subtitles silently, thinking of the Xu who stayed on the moon, and the Xu who returned to the earth, recalling Xu bit by bit from the beginning, swallowing myself like a vast ocean, and finally being unable to make a sound.

What if one day you find that your memories are all fake, no matter they are beautiful or painful, and it turns out that you are just a clone who copied the real memory of yourself, what will happen?

The painful thing is that the only memory that really belongs to me is the three years I lived with the robot Robert on the moon.It turns out that everything we have and what we miss are all fake.

He sat on the rover and looked at the earth outside the rover. That blue planet was so far away and indifferent.

Turns out it was never my home.

Xu, who went to the earth, watched the moon slowly go away, and suddenly I couldn't stop crying.

What I miss the most is Xu and the robot Robert, the Robert with "Kick Me" stickers on his ass.

He accompanied countless Xus, he knew everything about all Xus, he always said "I just want to help you!", he said he couldn't help them with things other than work, but he helped Xu leave.

His voice does not contain any emotion, but it is all the real memories and warmth of Xu on the planet.

When I was writing this article, my mind was full of the loneliness of Xu and Robert, and I couldn't stop the tears streaming down my face.

I slowly realized how unforgettable this movie is! "

……

"Cinema Handbook" and "Sight and Sound" are well-known film magazines in Europe and even in the world, and their influence is extraordinary in Europe.

And "Moon" can be featured in these two magazines, which shows that "Moon" is indeed very popular with film critics.

Through the appreciation of the two magazines and the popularity of the film, it can be seen that "Moon" has become one of the most popular films at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

In addition to "Moon", Roman Polanski's "The Pianist" is also highly praised, and even its influence is much greater than "Moon".

Roman Polanski is a "master of evil" who is good at digging out the evil of human nature, and his director ability is recognized.

Although he once violated girls, he is now unable to set foot in the United States.

But the excellence of "The Pianist" is beyond doubt. This is the final winner of the Palme d'Or, and it was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, and Roman Polanski won the Oscar for Best Director!
"The Pianist" is undoubtedly the number one hit film in Cannes this year!
In addition, the Finnish film "A Man Without a Past", South Korea's Lim Kwon-taek's "Drunken Painting Fairy" and the American film "Confused Love" were also well received.

Judging from the current media predictions, "The Pianist" stands out, and "Moon", "A Man Without a Past", "Drunk Painting Fairy" and "Confused Love" are evenly matched, ranking second!
The performance of "Ren Xiaoyao" by Jia Zhangke, who is also from China, is somewhat different from that of "Moon", which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Chinese media who came to Cannes.

Jia Zhangke can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Cannes. His age and ability surpassed Chen Hao, but the result was just the opposite.

But in any case, it is a good thing that "Moon" has been well received.

As a Chinese, I am naturally willing to see Chinese-language films being welcomed and loved in Cannes, France. This is a sense of national pride and identity from the heart.

While being happy, Huaxia Media also translated the reports of the European media back to China as quickly as possible, allowing the domestic media to grasp first-hand information as soon as possible.

"The Chairman of the Jury of the Cannes International Film Festival favors the Chinese film "Moon"!"--New Wolf Entertainment
""Moon" was well received in Cannes and became one of the most popular films!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"The score of "Moon" ranks among the top among all the films nominated in Cannes, and it is very likely to win the grand prize!"--CCAV6
……

The media's reports on the performance of "The Moon" in Cannes can be said to have caused a thousand waves with one stone.

Most people did not expect that the second film of the young Chen Hao would attract such attention and praise in Cannes. Is this the so-called genius director?
However, Chinese-language films are popular in Cannes, which is what everyone loves to see, so the support and praise from the media and the Internet are overwhelming.

Book friend 090417010642238: I hope "Moon" can win glory for the country and come back with a big prize!

Crimson Storm: I wish "Moon" a glorious return!
China Entertainment Little Reporter: Well done "Moon", come on!

……

Of course, not without displeasure.

For example, Feng Dapao, as a person who has already broken his face with Chen Hao, naturally he does not want to see Chen Hao good.

There is also Lu Chuan, the media compares him with Chen Hao, but now it seems that Chen Hao is a bit fierce, and he can make waves in Cannes.

What worries Lu Chuan even more is whether the popularity of "Moon" in Cannes will affect the selection results of the Imperial College Student Film Festival.

Although "Comet" was selected, it was also filmed by Chen Hao, and more than two-thirds of the judges at the Imperial College Student Film Festival are college students, who are most likely to be affected by national pride.

If he is stimulated by the news from Cannes, he might be biased towards Chen Hao, which is what Lu Chuan doesn't want to see the most.

At the same time, Bernard and Huaying were overjoyed. These news are of great benefit to the release of "Moon". They can only keep feeling that Chen Hao is really amazing and has a bright future!
