Made in Hollywood

The regular 2d version was screened in Cannes. During the opening screening, the audience clapped three times. They appeared at the end of the first action scene, the end of the "pole vault" action paragraph, and the end of the film. There were also 6 to 8 occasions. Applause, including the collective applause of the remaining audience after all the subtitles are played.

It can be said that the overall viewing atmosphere is warm, just like the title.

The European and American film media seem to have been conquered by Duke's masterpiece. "The action scenes that have always been the history of film, the profligate imagination and the amazing expressiveness" they have given rave reviews of praise.

In the suite of another hotel not far from Natalie Portman, Duke was sitting on the balcony looking at the sea not far away. Tina Fei came in with a pot of black tea and helped Duke pour it first. A cup, and then sat on the wicker chair on his left.

"I came back so soon," Duke retracted his gaze and looked at Tina Fei, "Is there any good news?"

Tina Fei just picked up a call, raised her mouth and nodded and said, "Warner Bros. has counted the comments from 36 mainstream media outlets in Europe and America for the call from Jamie Johnson. The average score is 97 points. !"

"97 points..."

Even Duke was a little moved. Although the comments of the media are different from the audience, no one can deny that the media can always affect the public.

He thought for a while, and asked, "It seems that my movie has never had such a high media rating, right?"

"Hmm..." Tina Fei held up her teacup and said before drinking, "It is indeed the first time."

"I don't know such a high media rating," Duke slowly tapped on the armrest of the chair and said, "After the film is officially released. How much can be converted into market consumption!"

For him, a 100-point rating by the media is worthless if it can't attract a massive public.

In the past, the media had high ratings and the audience refused to pay for the movies. And there are quite a few.

Tina Fei put down the tea cup and said, "Our people have already gone to the two movie theaters of Fury Road to investigate."

"Furious Road" will continue to be screened during the Cannes Film Festival, but the number of screenings is extremely limited. Except for the opening screening, there will be only six screenings in the next ten days.

Not far from the hotel where Duke was staying, an open-air cafe on Binhai Road was crowded with tourists and fans from all over the world. They will watch a lot of movies during the film festival, but there are too many movies shown during the film festival, even if they don’t sleep, it’s impossible to see them all.

In this way, places with high traffic such as bars and coffee shops have become good places for many people to exchange information. Many experienced movie fans will come here before choosing a movie. Listen to what other people think of certain films, so that you can show them from the uneven quality of the film. Find the best ones.

Mike Benning sits alone in the open-air cafe, raising his ears to catch the information around him. He is an Englishman. He came to Cannes at this time with only one purpose, to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. Watch the best movies.

He arrived in Cannes this morning. In the morning, he watched a film called "The Journey of the Red Balloon", which made him very depressed, especially the director of the film. The film was ugly. He actually said plausibly that ‘director’s creation does not need an audience’, and he was so angry that he really wanted to spit that guy. Since he doesn’t need an audience, he just hides at home and enjoys it. Why come to the public film festival?

Hypocritical!

This is the most suitable adjective that Mike Banning can think of.

There were more and more people in the open-air cafe, and even the table where Mike Benning was seated was a few others.

These people are obviously together. They seem to be discussing a movie with an Australian accent. These guys speak English and Mike Benning can understand it.

"Hewitt..." one of the older people said, "Don't you know someone from the organizing committee? Can you get tickets?"

"He can't guarantee it." The young man named Hewitt shook his head. "Phillips, you saw it too. There are too many people watching this movie."

"Yeah, too much!"

Another 30-year-old man holding a coffee cup said, "We went to line up just after lunch. Who would have thought that there were more than 2,000 people in the line, and the screening hall was not the Lumiere Hall. We really should Go in line after breakfast!"

The eldest Phillips patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Fortunately, we have seen this movie yesterday. Although it is a pity not to see it today, we are still very lucky than those who have never seen it. ."

"Yes!"

After echoing the sentence, Hewitt seemed to think of the movie again, and said happily, "The precise narrative rhythm like a scalpel, the extremely concise lines and the creative action and chasing design, which are the character positioning of yesterday. And expressiveness, hardly any shortcomings can be found, the two large vases starring the male and female are even more handy!

The man in his 30s put down his coffee cup and said loudly, "The director's talent is really amazing, especially the action design beyond imagination makes other action movies directly compared to scum."

"What kind of superhero or racing thief, compare with this movie," Phillips said slightly exaggerated, "it's just a kid's play."

Hearing these words, Mike Benning finally couldn't help it, "Sorry..."

All three of them watched over, and he quickly said, "Do you know what movie you are talking about?"

"You do not know?"

"Did you not watch it?"

"Now the streets of Cannes are talking about this film, you don't even know?"

Hearing the voices of three people asking questions one after another, Mike Benning scratched his head embarrassedly, "I only arrived in Cannes today..."

Before he could finish speaking, the youngest Hewitt said, "We are talking about the opening film of this festival, Duke Rosenberg's "Furstery Road"!"

""Furious Road"?" Mike Benning silently remembered in his heart, and then asked, "Is it pretty?"

Before the three people answered, a young man at the next table said, "Did you not watch the major media today? Almost all of them gave Duke a 100% score!"

A girl opposite him went on to say, "If you don't know what makes a crazy movie, then you will know it after watching "Furious Road."

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

It seems that many people have heard the voices talking about this film, and there have been many echoing voices in the open-air cafe.

Someone even stood up and said loudly, "This is the sorrow of our time. Since then, there are only two categories of action movies, "Furious Road" and other action movies!"

Mike Benning already understands what video he should watch next.

After asking a few more questions, Mike Banning left the open-air cafe and walked directly to the theater where "Furious Road" was shown at night. Although there were more than three hours before the screening began, he started from the conversations of several people at the same table. I learned that if you want to see this film, you have to queue up in advance.

"Latest news."

Tina Fei, dressed in casual clothes, walked behind Duke, looked at him, and reminded, "This dress is a bit short."

This was the casual shirt that Duke had just sent someone to him. He looked in the mirror and it was indeed a little short. He took it off and replaced it with another white one. After taking off his sunglasses and putting it on, he said to Tina Fei, "Let's go."

The two left the room, and Tina Fei said as they walked, "A "Furious Road" at noon crowded more than 2,000 spectators in line, and only one-third of the audience finally entered. The organizing committee recommended that we increase the number of screenings. "

Duke frowned slightly and thought for a while, until he left the hotel, he said, "Maintain the current screening scale and allow Warner's media to increase live coverage."

After Tina Fei called, Duke walked along the coastal road. This promenade is wide and clean, with a sandy beach on one side and an elegant hotel on the other. The hotel’s buildings include ancient buildings from the last century. There are also very modern buildings. In the green belt in the middle of the street, there are blooming flowers throughout the year, and palm trees that are vigorous in the sun, adding an element of charm to the small town.

During the annual Cannes Film Festival, the Corniche is a gathering of celebrities, and of course paparazzi reporters are indispensable.

As soon as Duke walked out of the hotel, reporters followed, but four bodyguards faintly surrounded him and Tina Fei. The reporters could take pictures, but they would stop them if they got too close.

On this road, celebrities and reporters often have a tacit understanding, the latter is not too disturbing, the former will not prevent the latter from taking pictures.

And Duke came out to increase his exposure in order to promote the film.

Tina Fei fell behind Duke, made another phone call, and then walked a few steps before chasing up.

"The news about Jamie Johnson..." she whispered beside Duke, "Isabel Huppel has a very good impression of our film."

Duke nodded, but didn't say anything. Sometimes he had to admire the connections of big Hollywood companies and the thoroughness of planning. "Furious Road" is typical.

Warner Bros’s proposal of "Furthermore" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival is not a whim, but makes full use of the situation. From the script of this film, you can see extraordinary female characters. The chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival Still a famous feminist, the number of film awards may increase infinitely...

"I'm sorry to disturb you..."

In front of them, the bodyguard stopped an Asian actress. Her English voice was a bit high, just enough for Duke to hear, "I’m a fan of Director Rosenberg, just want a Signature." (To be continued.)
