"War Meridian" was released in China. Although the response was good, it was not as good as the unprecedented response of Xie Jin's "The Wind". However, the movie "War Meridian" still received a lot of recognition.

In particular, "Popular Cinema" gave a good evaluation of "War Meridian" directed by Zhang Yuzhong, believing that the film respected Lin Youcheng's original work and produced the charm that the story should have.

"The Meridian of War is quite profound in terms of its ideological depth. A group of children, a wounded soldier and a college student in the torrent of war, struggling to death and losing their voices in pain in the wilderness, hanging by a thread and tunnels on the cliff The characters in the film are both dead, and they are just children. The film is very realistic, and it is precisely because of the reality that it is moving. "

"You must know that in peacetime, this is the age for studying, and those children are the age to enjoy childhood and happiness. But during the years of the Anti-Japanese War, they had to shoulder responsibilities, learn to protect themselves, learn to work as a team, and even help others , interspersing modern children, or letting children wearing Eighth Route Army clothing stand on the streets today, some viewers feel it is stiff and a bit inexplicable, but this is the wonderful thing about the movie, it is trying to educate. Modern children should cherish their present life.”

"You must know that those children are also eager to study, eager to be happy, and eager to have something to eat. The children who were killed by landmines shed tears when they saw the modern school, the sound of reading, and sitting in the seats in the language room. The soldiers were running in the On the modern plastic runway, he rushed to the finish line in pure white clothes. However, in history, in order to protect the nurse and the ten-and-a-half-year-old, he made his own bait and blew up the enemy. The blind little girl crawled on her legs to catch the landmine, trailing two traces of blood behind her. In the movie, the blind little girl always had the innocent voice of a sharp girl. At the end of her life, she did not count to 999, but she saw the stars. . She saw a fat man holding a drink and a piece of bread on the modern Great Wall. In the end, he threw them away without finishing them. But now the little girl wiped the blood on her hands and took a bunch of them. When the snack came back, the blind girl was gone. Every scene is so cruel and straightforward, a simple story, but the director’s technique is actually not simple.”

……

As "Popular Cinema" commented, the shooting technique of "War Meridian" directed by Zhang Yuzhong was not simple.

It is precisely because of such a strong contrast that some schools will naturally organize students to watch this film about children's anti-war. It can be said that this is also the advantage of Bayi Film Studio's filming of this film, and it can be regarded as allowing the above Be able to support this movie.

Just when "War Meridian" was released in China, the Cannes Film Festival in France announced the final award results of the 40th Cannes International Film Festival at the final awards ceremony after the screening of the shortlisted films in each unit.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Hou Xiaoxian won the final Palme d'Or!
This astonishing news can be said to have been spread back to Baodao immediately. It can be said that the entire Baodao was boiling in an instant, especially the film industry workers in Baodao. You must know that it is the gold medal of the three major film festivals. Palm!

Hou Xiaoxian actually won the Palme d'Or, which is really amazing.

But the same shocking news soon spread to Xiangjiang, and the people there were naturally shocked. In addition, all the filmmakers in the mainland knew that Hou Xiaoxian, the director of Baodao, actually won the Palme d'Or.

Palme d'Or!

Lin Youcheng also learned this shocking news from Zheng Xiaolong.

It's incredible that Hou Xiaoxian actually won the Palme d'Or for his movie "The Devotion of Suspect X".

This old butterfly actually brought Hou Xiaoxian a Palme d'Or trophy. The power of its wings was not weak at all. You must know that at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, the French film "Under the Sun of Satan" finally won the Palme d'Or. However, this film won the Palme d'Or amidst intense controversy. Although this award is of extraordinary significance to French films, it took 21 years for a French film to win again at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The last time a French film won this award was in 1966.

But at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, when the much-criticized "Under Satan's Sun" unexpectedly won the Palme d'Or, reporters in the audience who hated the film booed, and the film was even refused to be distributed. .

Of course, as the director of "Under the Sun of Satan", Pialat doesn't seem to care about public opinion. Not only did he receive the Palme d'Or, he also told those who opposed him that since you don't like me, then I don't like you either! This can be said to have become quite a news point at the Cannes Film Festival that year.

However, things seem to be different now.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" directed by Hou Xiaoxian actually won the Palme d'Or.

Lin Youcheng didn't know that compared to "Under Satan's Sunshine", film festival audiences and film critics had rave reviews for Hou Xiaoxian's "The Devotion of Suspect X", except for the filming techniques and art in the film. The most astonishing thing about the picture is the story of "The Devotion of Suspect X" itself. The thrilling love and incredible criminal methods have shocked many Western audiences. Just like Zhang Wei, the editor of "People's Literature", he cursed A sound——

FUCK, unblievable!

It can be said that the movie "The Devotion of Suspect Award the Palme d'Or to Hou Xiaoxian.

Lin Youcheng was really curious. He had seen more than one version of "The Devotion of Suspect X", so naturally he was very confused and wanted to know what this version of "The Devotion of Suspect X" was filmed by director Hou Xiaoxian. "What's so amazing about it is that it actually won the Palme d'Or."

This really made Lin Youcheng a little confused.

Of course, Lin Youcheng is also very aware of director Hou Xiaoxian's directorial talent and artistic skills. After all, it is not particularly unbelievable for someone who will win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival to win the Palme d'Or. Others don't know Hou Xiaoxian's talent. Lin Youcheng knows his strength very well.

However, even so, Lin Youcheng couldn't help but sigh: "The Palme d'Or is really amazing."

Zheng Xiaolong nodded repeatedly and said with a shocked look on his face: "Yes, that's the Palme d'Or!"
