On May 26, local time in France, the 66th Cannes International Film Festival held an award ceremony;

Abudai Cosish's lesbian-themed film "Adele's Life" won the Palme d'Or, which was also a pre-match hit with a score of 3.6 points in the magazine;

In fact, the high evaluation of this movie is mainly because of the director's plainness and even abandons the male perspective. At the same time, he portrays their habits and expressions in detail;

The video has been nearly 3 hours, but it still makes people feel unsatisfied. I feel that all this is coming too fast. Love or not. It is obviously a drama that has to be staged every day. Apart from the cycle, I still feel so sudden, so fierce, and so terrible.

Another reason is that the viewing environment is high quality. France is originally a country full of romanticism. Everyone can calm down and carefully experience the slightest emotional changes in it, and tear the hearts for this real but cruel youth.

It is not in an exaggerated environment that you have to stick to your head to experience the pain.

From a shooting perspective, the use of light and shadow, the setting of scenes, and even the selection of actors, and even the hairstyles of the heroine that Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu have always complained about are like this. Adele has always had her hair messy, like her confused inner world.

The handheld lenses used in the whole movie are basically used to shoot the world in the protagonist's eyes through subjective perspectives. The sense of reality suddenly increases, and accumulates into the feeling that the viewer can experience Adele's life with the director.

Until the end of the show, Lao Meng was unable to fall in love with this movie. Maybe this is the so-called cultural difference!

The Coen brothers' "Drunk Country Ballad" won the jury award, the director of "Halley" Armat Iscarat won the Best Director Award, and Jia Zhangke won the Best Screenplay Award for "Destination".

In addition, it was Koreedo Yukata's "Like Father and Son" who won the special award from the jury;

"The Grandmaster" is as Lao Meng predicted before coming, and there is no harvest!

The only thing that gained was that Yang Xiaohu, who was singing in a gorgeous long skirt on his chest with two phoenixes singing loudly on his chest, appeared on the red carpet of Cannes with the flying picture as his back;

Mimi's outfit completely outlines Zhang Ziyi's style of floral high-cross skirt with green on top and pink on the top and pink on the bottom. Her skirt looks very oriental;

After the award ceremony, Jia Zhangke came over to comfort Meng Qingzhou in a high-profile manner, but he didn't know how dazzling and pale his best script award was in Lao Meng's opinion;

The acting path of Chinese directors is already narrow, let’s not talk about the level for the time being. Lao Meng always believes that there are many subjects within the system, and it is not necessary to make movies that expose ugliness to be considered good movies;

Take Jia Zhangke for example. Although his film style is very obvious, he is good at creating a good reputation and has a good reputation, to be honest, his films are also very average;

He is not a very mature director. His films, soundtracks, and actor performances are far from being awesome. If it weren't for the content, he would probably not have made a good movie in the purely technical sense.

However, movies like roadside picnics, almost documentary performances, and the scene noise that has not been eliminated. The camera is also very playful and hazy. Anyone is used to destroy people. But when these three are combined, the theme of the movie is deepened. When I first watched it, I was very shocked. I had a feeling of being blown up. This movie that can combine technical shortcomings into characteristics can be said to be a coincidence;

Although Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu still have a lot of admiration for Jia Zhangke, they are destined to be liked by heaven;

If a director is outstanding and tough enough, then it doesn’t matter what movie he makes or why he wins the award, because it can be seen that it is indeed awesome!

But in fact, these directors are indeed awesome, but they are so awesome that they make others admire them and make winning awards a natural thing?

not necessarily!

Then the factors behind winning the award will naturally be more or less reasoned to the invisible rules of foreigners;

In fact, this type of director is pretty good, and the film is also very interesting;

But that's how it is;

If it weren't for winning the award, many people wouldn't know them, but why their videos won the award is hard to say that they rely solely on the quality of the film;

So does the director take the initiative to get close to this invisible rule, or does he just want to shoot what he wants to shoot, which is exactly in line with the "aesthetics" of foreigners?

It is difficult to guess. In fact, it may be biased towards the latter. The former has a little bit of meaning, but from the results, it is difficult for everyone to have a good impression of them. Moreover, because the protagonist of the film is mostly biased towards the niche crowd and has no "general emotions", most viewers cannot empathize, let alone attracting fans and promoting them in large quantities;

In fact, it doesn’t matter what the theme of the film is. China is very big, there are many Chinese people. Even if it is just a description of a kind of marginalized person, it is still millions of people;

China does need someone to remember these people and things. This is the director’s preference, the director’s personal choice, and the director’s literary and artistic creation direction, which is not right or wrong;

But can't there be a better choice?

"All the best scripts are destined to be obtained? Isn't this based on real events? What's the point of being happy about Jia Zhangke!"

Of course they are happy. My wife is a mistress again. Isn’t this exciting enough?

The night before leaving Cannes, Meng Qingzhou rejected Zhang Ziyi's call and drank and chatted with mouse and Xiaolu on the balcony of the hotel room;

When it comes to Deng Chao and Zhao Wei's transformation into director, the three of them were laughing and crying. This is not because they are worried that they will be stolen from their jobs, but because they feel that the temptation of capital is too great;

Any transformation is by no means a spontaneous act of playing tickets by the director, but a complete commercial game.

Behind the "acting and being good at directing", business behaviors like making movies mean risks for actors who want to transform, potential failures and collapse of their character.

The Chinese film market has experienced a crazy influx of capital and rapid market expansion in the past two years. Behind the actor's transformation into directors, it is actually caused by the low cost of market testing;

With the emergence of Xu Zheng, a box office bully, who doesn’t want to give it a try?

Currently, there is no stable and benign development form in the switching between the director-center system and the producer-center system in China.

When most actors achieved much greater reputation and wealth after their transformation than their actors during their acting years, "being a director" became a further shortcut on their life.

Actors have a conventional social role awareness, but it will be different if they become directors.

Directors who transform into actors actually tend to be more consistent in the selection of subject matters;

Movies are the director’s personal work, and often convey the director’s thoughts and opinions.

Movies are the way the director expresses the world. What to choose to shoot, how to shoot, and what feedback will be given to the works in the market in the future are all things that the director cares about and needs to control.

If you do it yourself, you will affect yourself!
