"'The Raid' Surprised at the Toronto International Film Festival!"

The recent appearance of this piece of news has surprised many people. At the beginning, they even couldn't believe it, but later they knew that this piece of news was completely true.

No one expected that such a situation would happen now. The whereabouts of Chen Xi's "Raid" has always been a problem in the Chinese film industry. Anyway, no one can figure out the whereabouts of "Raid", but everyone Knowing that this film has disappeared, but I don't know where it went.

As a result, now this movie appeared in a place that they didn't expect at all, and in a way that they hadn't thought of before, so, all of a sudden, these people were almost stunned!
They really didn't think about it.

"Except for Wang Xiaoshuai, what else can we expect from Chinese-language movies in Toronto this time? Chen Xi gave the answer."

""The Raid" was selected into the Toronto Midnight Madness Unit, and the "Raid" that had never been heard from reappeared!"

...A lot of voices keep appearing. Of course, these are the voices of the media. After the words of these media, many people also know that "The Raid" will now appear in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival.

Many people have also started various analyzes and evaluations.

"I really didn't expect that Chen Xi's movie would appear at the Toronto Film Festival without making a sound. News movie, but I didn't expect that I can still see this kind of news now, anyway, I think it's pretty good!"

"I have always thought that Chen Xi is a pretty good director, especially "Front and Cloud" really surprised me. "People on the Journey" feels a little too commercial, but there is nothing wrong with it. Now, he is This time gave us a huge surprise! This year’s Chinese-language movie in Toronto, Yu Liwei, Jia Zhangke, Wang Jiawei, etc. are all relatively deliberately imagined, but Chen Xi is indeed a sudden surprise. No one expected that he would suddenly appear on the screening list in Toronto...Midnight Madness! I really hope that Chen Xi's film will win an award! I believe in the quality of "Raid"!"

"'Midnight Madness' and 'Midnight Madness' unit mainly show some movies with special screen styles similar to "Sin City" and "Puppet Show". They are the unusual kind of movies, tending to horror movies, and bloody movies... Chen Xi's "Raid" suddenly appeared on this unit, and then think of the so-called "fundamentalism of action movies" he said before. In this way, his "Raid" should be expressed in places such as violence. Very outstanding! Thinking about it this way, and thinking about the completely restrained violence of "Front and Cloud", I really look forward to seeing what kind of "Raid" Chen Xi can make! It's a pity that I am in China now, and I can't I don’t have the ability to go to Canada to watch Chen Xi’s movies.”

… Viewer comments and analysis are increasing.

Among all the Chinese films at the Toronto Film Festival this time, 24 City Tale is a film that everyone is looking forward to.

It is already 08, and the wave of commercialization hits the waves, wave after wave, but Jia Zhangke, a filmmaker, has always had a maverick temperament. Doing your own movie story in the frame.

Although the director Jia Zhangke is classified as the sixth-generation director, in fact, some of his styles are like the fifth-generation director in the 90s. His films have always been the favorite of European, especially French, literary youths. , Jia Zhangke is quite well-known at the three major European film festivals, especially the Cannes International Film Festival, and his popularity at the Toronto Film Festival in North America is not low...

So his "Tale of 24 Cities" is also a movie that has attracted a lot of attention. When the news of the film festival officially reached the ears of Chinese movie fans, this movie was the most anticipated.

As for other directors, such as Yu Liwei's "Dang Bandits", this film does have a strong stylized feeling in terms of color and shooting, which allows people to get a pleasing visual experience, but generally speaking, There is nothing remarkable about this film other than the photography.

But... No one expected that a ghostly "Raid" would suddenly appear in a Chinese-language film. This film that disappeared before the public's eyes appeared in such a way, which is really surprising.

Now everyone's attention has shifted to the next performance of "The Raid". Many people are looking forward to seeing the performance of "The Raid" in a foreign country. There is no doubt about it. Although it has been almost 200 years since we lost the throne of the Kingdom of Heaven, the education that we have been exposed to since we were young and the accumulation of thousands of years ago, It still always makes people believe in their hearts that one day they will return to the number one in the world. Maybe many people will complain about these people in this country on the surface, but this belief in the bottom of their hearts exists in places that he has not discovered.

Chen Xi, as a newly emerging director, his "Front and Cloud" gives people a very amazing feeling, and the subsequent "People on the Journey" can be said to be quite satisfactory in general, but the commercial performance of the film is very successful. The structure of the film is also a very pure commercial style, but it is still very attractive, even if it is considered from a purely film perspective, it has its remarkable points.

So everyone is looking forward to "The Raid". They hope that Chinese movie fans' appreciation of Chen Xi's aesthetics will also be recognized by some foreign audiences, and they will feel like Chen Xi's movies.

But it is a pity that no fans have seen "The Raid" in China.

However, this movie was screened in the Midnight Madness section of the Toronto Film Festival. The movies in this section...combined with Chen Xi's own "fundamentalism of action movies", so everyone can infer something: It seems that Chen Xi's "Raid" should have some real things in it, and there should be many scenes of horror, blood and violence.

However, not everyone rejects these shots, otherwise there would not be so many lovers of CULT movies in this world, and there would not be so many movie fans who like "Fatal Turn" or even "Human Centipede" ...

... "It seems that I really have a very high reputation in China now!"

After Chen Xi saw many reports about "Raid" in the domestic media, she touched her chin and said something to herself with some emotion.

Indeed, what happened now proved Chen Xi's attention in the domestic media and his current status among domestic movie fans.

Now the number of fans on Chen Xi Du Niang Post Bar has exceeded 5, which actually proves that their way of hyping the word Chen Xi as a brand is completely correct. Such 5 The base of people has actually surpassed most other domestic directors, and these 5 people have also surpassed many well-known domestic actors at this stage, and this number is still growing.

Of course, Du Niang Post Bar can't prove everything, it's just a reflection of Chen Xi's current popularity from one side.

Now, Chen Xi's every move is more concerned by the domestic media, especially for films that have disappeared before like "Raid", the degree of attention will obviously become greater, and many people will pay attention.

Chen Xi's popularity in the eyes of the public has already surpassed Ning Hao unconsciously.

However, Chen Xi is also more concerned about one thing now, that is, will the incident of his "Raid" in Toronto affect the release of "Embroidered Spring Knife"?He was worried that "Raid" would steal the limelight from "Xiu Chun Knife", and then everyone would only be thinking about "Raid Raid"... Is "Xiu Chun Knife" a magical horse?Can I eat it?

This kind of thing does affect people...

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, many releases of "Embroidered Spring Knife" have been relatively smooth, and the screenings these days have also done quite well. With an attendance rate of about 60%, this attendance rate is indeed quite good. This kind of result can indeed prove many things. Therefore, the first day of "Xiu Chun Knife" can basically guarantee 25%-30% of the film schedule In short, this is the return of Chen Xi's popularity in the film circle now. This level of screening rate is unprecedented in Chen Xi's films before.

Chen Xi's goal for "Embroidered Spring Knife" is to reach the box office of 5000 million, so that the company can have a surplus of several million to 1000 million... At that time, if "Raid" really sells well overseas, he will also take advantage of it. Let Dongfeng release "Embroidered Spring Knife" and make a fortune overseas, and then there will be a lot of money to be earned.

Of course, this premise still needs to be strong in "Raid"...

Now that the worries about the future are relieved, Chen Xi has put all her thoughts on the Toronto screening of "The Raid"!This film will be screened at the Toronto Film Festival soon. Although this is a film festival that is basically only for movie fans, Chen Xi and the others still have tickets for the scene, so they can go to the scene to hear what the audience thinks about this film. Review the movie and ask them if they would like to watch the movie.

Chen Xi even has an ambition to make "Raid" stand out from the midnight madness unit and win an award... that would be great!
