Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 884 The Ownership of Palme d'Or

AMC.

"Fuck, the box office of Chen Mubai's works is getting higher and higher day by day, and the reverse growth has begun!" Trillis was furious.

Obviously enough preparatory work has been done, and at the same time, the number of filming and garbage time slots has been reduced, so how can it still have a lot of popularity and topicality!

Even many young people started to promote Chen Mubai spontaneously, which was totally different from what they expected.

In their expectation, Chen Mubai's work was limited, then fell into obscurity, fell out of the ranks, and was released from theaters because of poor data.

As a result, not only did this not happen, but the data got better and better. It was a slap in the face!

Caitlin said lightly: "It's still an era when quality is king. Good movie quality spurs good word-of-mouth and high evaluation, which is why this happens."

"We have blocked this film as much as possible, including the publicity and release, and film scheduling. Given that the niche works are still being targeted, Chen Mubai's talent is indeed great."

"However, this is also the advantage of niche works. Fan stickiness is high. In addition, the first film was very successful. People are looking at the suspense, this is a very successful series of movies, this is where we have to learn."

Caitlin will not underestimate Chen Mubai, nor will she be blindly arrogant. Since the other party has advantages, it is natural to learn from them. This incident has given them a wake-up call.

Even if they are in a whole body, they can still have some impact, and this is what they need to learn.

"But that's it. No matter how high the attendance rate is, no matter how good the evaluation is, it's useless if there is no filming. We have locked in this filming, and Chen Mubai has nothing to do."

This time, not only their AMC theaters targeted Chen Mubai, but several established capitals did the same, so the box office on the first day was very low.

Although the box office on the second day increased a bit and was higher than the box office on the first day, the data is still very poor, mainly because the box office base on the first day was low.

It's just that this is not a good sign. With more and more topics and popularity related to "Saw 2", the impact on the film will become greater and greater, which will directly feed back on the box office.

The most important thing is that some people on the Internet are starting to speak up for Chen Mubai, and they are still American. This is what makes them unacceptable.

After all, their only support is their own countrymen, and they are also marketing with patriotism. It is very hurtful for some people to betray the water. After all, it is impossible to expect people from other countries to speak out for them.

Generally, the first blockbuster work, the sequel will also be very popular, because this is a successful work that has been tested by the market and the audience.

But the data of "Chain Saw 2" is indeed much worse than that of the first one, which is enough to see the strong resistance caused by capital to this movie.

 …

On the Internet, the evaluation of "Chain Saw 2" is very high.

Even the rating once surpassed the first one!

Chen Mubai played a tragic role because of the shady incident at the Oscars, so everyone spontaneously sympathized with him. While contributing to the box office, the score was also higher.

There are also some movie reviews, which make netizens feel right and shocked.

for example:

"The character of jigsaw is very attractive. Although he is a bad guy, he was tricked by the insurance company to take this path. The victims he chooses are not good people. He is speaking for justice and keeps his word. , and abide by the rules of the game."

"This movie tells us that good people are not necessarily good. Detective Matthew, who looks very righteous, has done so many things that insult his justice. Although Jigsaw did something wrong, it is not a This is a kind of catharsis for society’s injustice towards him, if his prayers are answered, I’m afraid he won’t go on this path, and the thoughts spread by the film still give us a sense of reflection.”

Just to add a word, the chasing book app I am using recently, [ \\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\app \\\\ ] to cache books,

Read aloud offline!

""Saw 2" is really excellent. I think this work is said to be a horror work. All kinds of bloody and exciting pictures make people frightened, but in fact, the core is a very educational work, which makes everyone cherish life , as the audience, don’t we feel lucky when we see the characters struggling to survive in the movie?”

"I think it's the same. Let us cherish life and at the same time teach us not to do bad things. Man is doing what God is watching. Maybe it will come true at some point. It is always good to do more good deeds."

"I suddenly imagined that by combining the plot of the movie with reality, Chen Mubai was also treated unfairly, and the way he is struggling now is like jigsaw's revenge on the society. In essence, he wants to cause trouble. In order to "strive for" a share of fairness, whether he is participating in the Cannes Film Festival or making a new film, he essentially wants to prove himself."

A well-known film critic knew that audiences were very interested in the content of the first film's ending and easter eggs, so he spent a lot of time analyzing the doctor's situation.

"Judging from the content revealed in the movie, I think the doctor should still be alive. With the jigsaw, he can be confident and let Nick go. It can be seen that the doctor has passed the test of the game at that time, so he is naturally qualified to survive. Another Amanda, who survived the game, is also alive, which is implicit information that implies that the doctor may be alive."

"Another point, in fact, the film also gave us another question. After Amanda passed the death game, she didn't mean to blame Jigsaw. Even though he made her suffer so much, did she really feel the true meaning of life? Amanda still Becoming a disciple of Jigsaw, is it possible that a situation will arise, that is, the doctor’s experience is the same as that of Amanda, and he will also become a disciple, so he does not appear. At this time, he is recuperating or working behind the scenes Work."

"For example, the man who died at the beginning, his eyes were operated on, and a key was stored in the eye socket. People without medical means must not be able to perform this operation. In the first season, we all know that Jigsaw is actually a person. But he will use methods to control others to do things for him, although it is possible that someone else will complete the operation for him, but another situation has to be considered, the person who completes the operation is the doctor!"

"I am more inclined to the second possibility, because Amanda's transformation in the second part makes me think that the doctor may also be transformed by him. This is the answer given in the movie."

 …

Some people have over-interpreted film reviews like this, extending from the resistance of the jigsaw to the real world. Facing the exploitation of capital, Chen Mubai was portrayed as a "tragic hero".

Then, this kind of interpretation is still very popular among netizens, and everyone began to support him.

Chen Mubai did not expect that "Chain Saw 2", which was released at this time, would bring him such a big effect.

Although it was unexpected, I was very happy. This is a real effect.

Naturally, he would not publicly admit or make any clarifications, but let Bruce Lee take advantage of this wave of enthusiasm to expand the matter, after all, it was in his favor.

Then, in the limited filming schedule, the box office of "Saw 2" skyrocketed again, and even almost exceeded 10 million in a single day!

This is an amazing statistic. Although Mubai Entertainment and well-connected theaters have given a lot of film schedules, two-thirds of the theaters have only given few film schedules, or even garbage time.

Then they found that the attendance rate during garbage hours was very high...

More and more people have seen the interpretation of the film, and after the rhythm, everyone has become interested in this film and wants to support this "tragic hero".

This result surprised even Bruce Lee. He didn't know whether the interpretation on the Internet was true, so he asked Chen Mubai specifically: "Chen Dong, do you really have this metaphor?"

Chen Mubai smiled wryly: "I'm just a screenwriter, how can I understand "Chain Saw"!"

Bruce Lee: "..."

I see, no wonder most directors don't answer the controversial parts of the work, this can really improve the impact of the work!

"Then we are really lucky." Bruce Lee said with emotion.

Chen Mubai agreed: "The luck of handsome guys is not too bad."

"..."

Two consecutive critical strikes.

Although he wanted to complain, but thinking of Chen Mubai's face, Bruce Lee found that it was indeed reasonable.

When Mubai Entertainment was first established, in order to promote the works, not many people would watch Huaxia's works.

Because in their eyes, the works of the United States are the most powerful and can be exported to the whole world. Why should they look at works from backward regions?

Besides, there are too many film and television dramas every year. I don’t know how many are outstanding. I can’t even finish watching the ones in my own country, and they are said to watch the ones in other countries. Many people can only choose a few dramas at the same time, otherwise there will be too many. Can't see it.

The way Bruce Lee thinks is to let the characters implicate the plot, so as to keep the audience interested.

Because everyone will not choose to click to watch the work because of the name or content of the work, but the plot can only be caused by the characters, so that they will be interested.

He spent a lot of money, from short video platforms to social software, to post all kinds of exciting clips, as well as photos of Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao.

What are people interested in?

The cultures of different countries are different. If you don’t have a deep understanding, it is difficult to be interested in the culture, but everyone has one thing in common, that is beauty!

No matter what country you are in, when you see handsome men and beautiful women, you will unconsciously take a second look. If you add that the works are interesting and exciting, it will naturally make people want to watch.

Chen Mubai's handsomeness attracted many female audiences, and Tao Yaoyao's beautiful and pure temperament also attracted many male audiences, and then quickly accumulated the first batch of audiences.

Due to the strong promotional efforts, relevant information can be seen on all major platforms, and then everyone became Yangou, making the work officially enter the eyes of American audiences for the first time.

The latter part is that the work impresses the audience with its excellent quality, the influence is getting bigger and bigger, the ratings are getting higher and higher, and the work is getting more and more popular!

Thinking of the situation at that time, when many people went to Mubai Entertainment's official blog to ask about Chen Mubai's information, Bruce Lee knew that appearance was really important.

Just like when you browse information on the Internet and suddenly see a picture of a teacher, you will go crazy and want to know her works, and finally know the name and information of the teacher with great perseverance, find the number, and then be happy To appreciate this work, this is the primary productivity of LSP.

In fact, this is essentially the same as Bruce Lee's propaganda method. It is because of the motivation to learn more about the character or the work after seeing the appearance of the character. If the appearance is mediocre, I am afraid that I will not be interested.

in a few days.

The Chinese box office of "Saw 2" has been rising steadily, breaking the record of the first film early on, and netizens are very enthusiastic.

The box office in the United States was cold, but Huaxia made up for it, which is a bit like the box office situation on both sides when the first film was released.

However, the box office in the United States has reached 30 million, which is actually not low. After all, the investment in this work is very small, but compared to the first one, the results are much worse.

At the same time, the high-profile Cannes Film Festival has begun!

Usually there is not so much attention, but this time the rhythm of things is very fast, which has attracted the attention of netizens all over the world.

It was related to the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar Film Festival, as well as Chen Mubai, an international first-line star, so the movement would naturally not be small.

Everyone wants to know whether Chen Mubai can win awards in Cannes, or even win the Palme d'Or.

 …

Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao dressed up to attend.

The two were like a fairy couple, smiling all over their faces, and many reporters surrounded the two of them.

They seemed to be in a good mood and seemed untroubled by public opinion.

Seeing me this time, coupled with the recent whirlwind of public opinion, the reporters naturally would not miss this good opportunity and asked the two of them questions one after another.

The reporters in the venue were basically surrounded by them, which led to the absence of other stars, which made others feel a little bit embarrassed.

Although the reporters' enthusiasm for Chen Mubai was understandable, it was a bit hurtful after all.

Therefore, the stars deliberately kept a little distance away from Chen Mubai, so as not to cause them to stand together, but everyone else was with Chen Mubai, making him look embarrassed by being alone.

The celebrities who hadn't walked the red carpet slowed down one after another, trying to stall for time, and waited for Chen Mubai to leave before walking forward. Otherwise, the result would not have changed.

"Chen Mubai, do you have confidence in yourself?"

"Do you think you can win the award?"

"Chen Mubai, is "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" aimed at competing for the Palme d'Or?"

"List......"

The reporters were talking all over the place, and the stable issues were basically hot topics on the Internet.

Chen Mubai didn't hide it, he picked a few questions that could be answered and responded positively.

"Anyone who goes to a film festival wants to win an award, and I'm no exception."

Chen Mubai answered confidently and calmly: "At the same time, I also believe in the quality of "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door". Here it is."

"The award I most hope to win is of course the Palme d'Or. This is also the goal of my trip, and I hope it can be achieved."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Tao Yaoyao, then smiled affectionately and said: "My goddess of luck is here, I believe luck will favor me~"

The reporters all smiled and wished the loving couple well.

Chen Mubai was humorous, even though he was surrounded by public opinion, he still didn't make a big loss. His answers were decent and polite, and his seemingly insolent words seemed confident.

If we say that when we come to the film festival, no one wants to win an award, and everyone hopes that they can win an award, there is no doubt about it.

The difference is that some people may not say it outright, but Chen Mubai's daring to do so shows that he is confident.

The reporter is quite satisfied with his answer, which can be regarded as a response to some things.

Soon, the awards ceremony officially began.

The awards were given out quickly, and slowly came the grand prize.

This is also the time when the atmosphere in the audience is the most intense but also more serious, and everyone looks at the winners of each award calmly.

"Best Screenplay at this year's Cannes Film Festival..."

"I didn't get it again..."

Tao Yaoyao looked at the work read out on the stage, pouted her mouth a little unhappy.

Chen Mubai smiled and said: "These are not important, the Palme d'Or is our pursuit, no matter how many awards we win, what's the use of missing the Palme d'Or, I would rather just win a Palme d'Or than any other awards."

"It's true." Tao Yaoyao quickly cheered up.

She also knows that the Palme d'Or is the most important thing, but "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has already been nominated for several times, and there are currently no results, so she runs with her every time, so she is naturally a little unwilling.

After all, I was too greedy. I wanted the Palme d'Or and wanted to win a few more awards. How could there be such a good thing.

"The best director of this year's Cannes Film Festival is Chen Mubai!"

When the host read out Chen Mubai's name, the audience burst into applause.

This is the first award for "When Happiness Comes Knocking" tonight.

Chen Mubai was also nominated for the best actor award before, but he was still running with him.

I didn't expect him to win the best director.

Chen Mubai came to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech.

The stars in the audience were discussing in low voices.

"I thought "When Happiness Comes Knocking" won't get any awards, and then get the Palme d'Or."

"I think so too. After all, this film has achieved a lot in the Oscars, and the probability of winning the award is still very high. If he has not won the award, I think the probability of winning the award is very high. But now that he has won the award, it makes me I think the Palme d'Or is hopeless."

"Yeah, he has won so many awards at the Oscars, and it will definitely have an impact in Cannes. Generally, film festivals are mutually exclusive. If this work won an award there, it will generally not be awarded here. "

"Chen Mubai, I should miss the Palme d'Or."

"Although this film is well received by the outside world, and the quality of the work is also very good, it's just that it first appeared at the Oscars, which will indeed affect the perception of the judges. If it really doesn't win an award, there is still a chance to win the Palme d'Or. Now, it’s not considered a return for nothing, in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t win a single award.”

This is a default unspoken rule. If a work participates in film festivals of the same level, it can generally only win an award at one film festival. After all, film festivals are also competitors, and they prefer that the award-winning work is produced at their own film festival. It is a work that has been published, not a work that has won awards in other film festivals, which is a bit like the meaning of being born out of a concubine.

Seeing this situation, the celebrities in the audience felt regretful, some watched the show, some were happy, and at the same time, some were ironic.

You can see all kinds of things throughout your life. Everyone sitting here is also a competitor. There is nothing wrong with it.

After Chen Mubai finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

Tao Yaoyao obviously also knew about this situation, coupled with the whispered discussions of the people around her, she couldn't help but look worried: "It seems to be dangerous..."

Chen Mubai held her nervous little hand, and then said relaxedly: "Don't think so much, I am lucky to lose my life, just be normal. I never thought that this film would be able to participate in the Cannes Film Festival and be nominated I have earned it, not to mention winning an award now."

"The next movie is the key point, and it is also the work I want to hit the awards. I will save my worries until then."

After listening to Chen Mubai's consolation, Tao Yaoyao's nervousness relaxed a little, but she still hoped that he could win the award.

When it really came to this juncture, how could it be easy to calm down.

"The works shortlisted for Best Film at this year's Cannes Film Festival are..."

The names of the five works were read out one by one, and the shots were shown on the faces of the main creators of each crew. Everyone's expressions were a little dignified but they held a touch of expectation, which was enough to see their nervousness. Be a runner but hope that you are the lucky one.

Being able to get to this point can be said to be the last hurdle.

Overcoming this difficulty can be crowned with glory, and this glory is destined to be enjoyed by only one work, and the other four works will become companions, and can also be regarded as the biggest losers.

The best picture is the result of a crew, not an individual, it is the honor of the group!

"The best film winner of this year's Cannes Film Festival is..."

""When Happiness Comes Knocking"!"

boom!

The audience is a sensation!
