Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 657: The passion of audience discussion



The next day, various newspapers and magazines quickly published the media evaluation of No Country for Old Men.

Although at the press conference, everyone ended easily like a cutscene, this did not affect the No Country for Old Men received many affirmations and pursuits, and the film critics made no secret of their love for the film.

This wind soon spread to the audience, or between those who have watched the movie and those who haven't seen the movie yet.

Because it is screened in Cannes to compete for the grand prize, and the daily schedule is also destined that not many fans will be able to see the film for the first time, the number of people watching the film is still relatively small, so it is a kind of show off. And a feeling of superiority emerged.

On some forums and movie websites on the Internet, many people who have seen the movie couldn't help but speak on it and promote it spontaneously, and the topic also focused on the characters who left a vivid impression and some movie details——

Highly recommended, Lehmann's new work is really wonderful, from the beginning to the end, I don't want to miss every minute.

Anton's handcuffs to kill and that air tank gun are too awesome, like a god of death, even the killing method is different.

Yeah, every time I see his stern expression, I know someone is unlucky.

Guess the design of the coin is the essence of it, but who is right? It's just Anton's own will, and he insists on principles. This person is a lawless man, a lunatic and perverted with no emotional fluctuations. good.

Actually, the scene of Monterey's death was very relieved to watch. This man's hands were also covered in blood, but the camera did not deliberately point it out. For example, the two families who disappeared at the beginning, I'm sure they were killed. already.

Tommy Lee Jones played the policeman Ed very well. That feeling of powerlessness was very uncomfortable. Every time he was one step behind, he was a tragic figure, but he retired and enjoyed his old age.

Did no one praise Josh Brolin's Moss? That hotel scene, back and forth with Anton, was also the first to injure and repulse him in a head-to-head confrontation, but unfortunately he died in a few In the hands of the little bastard, the hiding place has been leaked.

No one has been successful in this movie, it's always full of surprises.

It's a pity that Anton wasn't hit by a car and ran away with a limp. Did it not say at the end that he was caught?

Let's have an open ending. It doesn't matter if you catch him or not. The movie is about being at a loss in the face of a fast-developing society. If you catch him, the atmosphere will not return to the way it used to be.

It's really beautiful, I want to watch it again, but unfortunately it's too difficult to line up.

It's the same difficulty. I had to queue for an hour yesterday to get in. When I went today, the tickets were gone...

Everyone was talking about the screening of No Country for Old Men on the Internet.

The plot, characters, and soundtrack are all very good, so it's no wonder everyone is so enthusiastic.

And the others who haven't seen the movie are waiting hard, and their expectations are full.

After Cannes, the movie will not be released until May 24th. There are only 3 days of waiting left, which also makes some North American movie fans feel tormented. If they don’t want to wait, they can only go to the film festival to watch the movie. Of course, this cost Does it make people hesitant too much...

Therefore, I can only watch the hot discussions in the forums by those who have seen it in advance.

......

On the scene of the Movie Palace, there is another one-day screening of No Country for Old Men.

There was already a long queue outside the theater.

The person at the back complained dissatisfiedly: Can't we add more exhibition halls? It's not that there isn't, and we have to show those very dull movies.

Don't say it, I didn't get in line yesterday, and it looks like it's hanging today.

One game a day, how can you grab it, even an hour in advance.

Influenced by newspapers and magazines, after learning the quality of No Country for Old Men, movie fans first had the goal of watching the movie, and then were quickly defeated by reality.

Can't get a ticket in line? Of course, it is the trouble of looking for the organizer.

In fact, the organizers are also very troubled. Seeing this show, they also want to increase the popularity, but the problem is that one class a day is already very focused on resources. If you give more, where will you save it?

The 21 shortlisted films should be screened once, and the excellent ones should be screened a few more times. Then the problem is that the screening period is less than a week and a half, so it is necessary to allocate so many films to the top. , they have worked very hard to solve the problem.

But seeing that the tourists are not satisfied, they can't ignore it completely.

So Liam took the initiative to interview the high-level distribution executives of EMI, Gao Meng, and Europa, seeing the heat and preparing to add fire.

This method of burning is naturally a matter of being shown in French theaters.

Originally, Blue Butterfly Pictures initially planned to promote word-of-mouth first, then release it in North America, and then slowly transition to global distribution-because of the lack of distribution capabilities, everyone except the six majors played like this. As for the simultaneous release, It also requires sufficient collaborative resource capabilities, and most people do not have this foundation if they want to play.

However, whoever wants to show such a high momentum, naturally it can't be wasted.

Anyway, Blue Butterfly Films prepared the film copy in advance. At that time, the idea was to promote North America, but now it seems to be a good idea to put it on the French cinema first. After all, the Cannes Film Festival attracts so many tourists and does not earn movie ticket money. Isn't such a good platform time wasted in vain?

Therefore, after urgent negotiations, a set of plans was released.

On May 24, No Country For Old Men will be screened together in France and North America. Several French studios are willing to provide 3,200 theaters with the screen size and the highest priority share, but the distribution fee will be taken away from 100% of the box office revenue. 18 out of 18, publicity spending included.

Such a cooperation agreement cannot be said to be taking advantage of it. If we do not hurry up, it may be more beneficial to Firefly, but several studios have also promised to pay attention to distribution.

Several companies are united to take the heat, and then grab the profits.

As soon as this news came out, it finally eased the pressure of the screening.

After all, if the theaters join, the problem of adding venues will not be a problem, because such a market capacity cannot be filled with such a small tourist base.

On the other hand, the media's evaluation heat is still fermenting.

Even some of the larger-selling newspapers and magazines in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean have also given internal feedback on No Country for Old Men.

Variety praised, No Country for Old Men is the splurge of director Rust's new talent attempt.

The Boston Global Times said, The movie is the best insight into a disorder of fate. When the foreshadowing is over, the fierce guys appear one by one, and the expressiveness can shock people enough.

On a big stage bounded by Texas, New Mexico and the border, the violent scenes are dramatized layer by layer, like a fierce race against death. - The Hollywood Reporter

This film focuses less on the social ills of the new millennium. Between various transitions, the light is ruthlessly projected on several characters, which can be described as the beauty of blank space. - Los Angeles Daily

In Cannes' official film catalogue, the comprehensive media score will also be released soon.

No Country for Old Men scored a 3.6 on a four-point scale.

The previous highest was John Bowman's Glorious Years with a score of 3.5.

Of course, in Cannes, there have always been cases where the media scored high scores and failed to win awards. This score is just a pleasure to look at, because it was commented by a few people, and the organizing committee did not approve it at all.

It's like rating each other between film critics, only representing the opinions of a few.

Of course, it feels good to be recognized.

Speaking of which, since the premiere, Lehmann has been rushing to the stage, and even the preparations for Untouchable, which have been busy, have been put aside.

Then, on the morning of May 22, Liam hurried back to Los Angeles to preside over the overall situation, but he also left several deputies to continue to buy and sell copyrights and collect enough valuable screening sources.

Such a grand event is convenient for many practitioners.

Getting famous, pulling investment, and even gaining contacts and relationships are all things that many people need.

And parties, film screenings, and investment receptions are also ways of making friends that are held all the time during Cannes.

Ryman began to get busy every day for similar activities.

The King of Sunglasses invited him, so he had to go; Edmund wanted to introduce an acquaintance, so he couldn't refuse, and the others were still very busy. Many human relationships need to be maintained...
