The theater chain under Fox is just a small theater chain, and it is only distributed in some major cities in the United States. Columbia is approximately a third-tier city in the United States, so there is no theater in Fox.

This gave Daqian a headache. In the end, it was the people of the motherland who helped him. A cinema in Chinatown offered to take on the task of voting.

After all, in the United States, as long as there are cities, there will be Chinatown.

When Sam found the Chinatown name Dayuewan Cinema based on the address in the newspaper, he couldn't help but lick his lips because the cinema was too small and a little too shabby.

However, driven by the enthusiasm of voting for the movie, Sam still entered the cinema and found that the cinema was actually quite good, at least very humane, and popcorn was provided for free.

Although it was only a small portion, Sam, who was used to popcorn $10 a barrel and was almost as popular as the movie ticket price, was moved to tears.

After entering the screening room, Sam found that there were more people in the screening room than he thought, and not all of them were Chinese, at least half of them were white people with blond hair and blue eyes like him.

Soon, Sam found his old friend Tim in a seat.

Tim is also a crazy movie lover. Like Sam, he will not fall for almost any movie he is interested in, so the two of them often run into each other in the cinema and become familiar with each other.

"You are here too!"

"Yes, it's too hard to find here!"

The two of them exchanged greetings, but unfortunately, the seats on both sides were not together, and there were people around Tim, so Sam could only sit in his seat.

Then he saw a voting form placed on the front seats.

Behind the front seats, there is an obvious small pocket that was pasted on it later, and a voting form was inserted on it, with the name of "The Road to Heaven Voting Card".

While Sam was about to take a closer look at the options for the voting card, the lights in the entire screening room suddenly dimmed and the movie began to play.

As a loyal movie lover, Sam obviously won't pay attention to other things when the movie is aired.

…………Two hours later…

After the movie was played, Sam wiped the corners of his eyes a little. Although the movie was called Path to Heaven, it sounded like a comedy movie, and at least it was an exciting and happy movie.

But the plot is almost depressing.

This is a movie that describes the miserable days of a white lady in the concentration camp in Fuso ****.

One night in 1942, the Kangaroo Kingdom and the Ying people stationed in Singapore were holding a grand ball, but when the war came, Fusang launched an attack on them.

The soldiers all went to the war, and the soldiers' families, especially their wives, all took a cruise ship to try to return to China for refuge. As a result, they encountered the attack of the Fusang army and the ship sank, and the group of noble ladies became prisoners of the Fusang people and lived in concentration camps.

These ladies in daily life naturally bear inhuman treatment in the concentration clouds. Many of them were abused to death. When all women felt desperate, the heroine named Edlia organized a choir in the concentration camp. Only in the midst of suffering did they find a little motivation to survive.

Until the end of the war, the female prisoners were free.

This is a very positive American movie with no problems. It is very American, and it has a very main theme. It also has a consistent thinking about human nature and a little tear-jerking, which makes Sam, who is used to seeing various tear-jerking movies, feels a little wet in the corners of his eyes.

But it was just wet. It was still a bit insufficient to make Sam, who was a movie gourmet.

Then the lights turned on, and Sam calmed down and started the voting card.

First, at the top of the voting card, there are the words and badge icons of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival, and a warm reminder

[Hello, Dear viewer, after the lights of the movie are turned on, you have five minutes to fill out the form in your hand. Of course, you can also choose to give up filling in. Because time and writing are inconvenient, for convenience, you only need to fill in the corresponding score, or mark it on YES/NO.]

"I'm pretty comprehensive!" Sam exclaimed, then picked up the pen and started filling in the form.

First, the first question

"Do you like this movie (YES/NO)"

"YES" Sam thought about it and gave such an answer. Although the movie itself is good, it is still not qualified to be the best movie of the year.

"Do you think this movie is an art film? (YES/NO) Note: Art films are movies that do not consider commercial influence. There are awards exclusive to art films in the film festival. Please fill in them carefully."

"YES!" Sam thought for a while, and then said that the vote was really interesting. Is it because the art film actually had to vote? Didn't the official set the tone for the movie when it was promoting it?

After checking the YES/NO options above, all the options below are options for scoring.

The audience is asked to score the director, male lead, female lead, and male and female supporting roles of the movie respectively.

It is worth mentioning that when supporting roles of male and female, because there are a large number of people, the voting card lists the names of 8 main supporting roles and 2 main supporting roles. The audience needs to first check the names of one of the female supporting roles and male supporting roles, and then score the two supporting roles separately.

In addition, the number of supporting roles for male and female is not fixed, but is determined based on the different number of supporting roles for a movie. After all, the Road to Heaven is a film dominated by women, and the main supporting roles are of course female prisoners. It is impossible for too many supporting roles for male.

Then, the movie's soundtrack, script, photography, editing, sound effects, special effects, costume design, art guidance, action guidance, makeup, theme song, and a total of 10 items were scored, ranging from 1 to 10 points.

I would like to explain here that although Boss Jia announced the 10-point scoring at the press conference, it was later changed to a 10-point scoring under the persuasion of Jon Landao.

The reason is very simple, because based on previous practice and experience, if it is a percentage system, the audience seems to have 90 different scores to choose from.

But in fact, as long as a movie can make the audience happy, it is very easy for the audience to score in the range of 90 to 100 points.

On the contrary, if the movie does not meet the audience's expectations, the score will drop directly below 50 points.

Although these scores are also scores given by the audience, it is difficult to have practical reference value.

Because this will lead to good movies being above 90 points and bad movies being below 50 points. It is difficult to break the gap between different movies in detail, and it is also very easy to have movies with the same score.

And it is also very easy for professional black men to take advantage of loopholes. After all, black men only need to score 10 points to pull down the score of an excellent movie.

On the contrary, the ten-station system is much better, because the scores that the audience can give are only 10 points and only 10 choices. Even if you watch a very happy movie, the audience will not blindly give high scores such as 8 points or 9 points, but will give scores such as 6 points or 7 points relatively rationally.

On the contrary, if the percentage is still maintained, the audience may give a score of 93 or 94, which is actually equivalent to a ten-stage 9 points, which is very inappropriate and unscientific for the score.

Boss Jia really never thought about this, so he directly made the decision on the percentage system at the press conference. It was not until he was persuaded by relevant people that Boss Jia realized that he was actually a little ignorant.
