Chapter 597 Admiration and Disappointment

"This wave of 66666, I suddenly think this old man is cute!"

"We support LGBT, so we have a separate theme competition unit, the main competition unit EMMM, or don't come here?"

"As someone who has watched two movies, there is a saying that "Paradise Cinema" really beats "Annie's Holy Lake" purely in terms of film quality, but this "Annie's Holy Lake" is a welfare film, you know!"

"Fuck, welfare movie? Is it true or not?"

"Looking at the two heroines, they both have great figures. They actually made a welfare film and were able to win the best actress. Forgive my low culture. Only one sentence can express my feelings!"

However, in any case, this year's Venice Film Festival really showed off.

Even better than the Cannes Film Festival.

Especially when it comes to politically correct films aimed at LGBT, it shows off the sky, directly distinguishing the Venice Film Festival from other film festivals.

Look, we are not affected, but I make you speechless, there is no other film festival, our Venice Film Festival specially opens a competition section for this type of film, is this not enough support?
It is a bit embarrassing that although the director of "Paradise Cinema" is Li Yi, this film is always a foreign language film. If it wants to be released in China, it must be an imported film.

Of course, with the blessing of Li Yi's halo, this is nothing.

Strike while the iron is hot is a must.

In particular, "Paradise Cinema" has just won the Venice Film Festival Jury Special Award, Best Director, and the Golden Lion Award.

It can be said that it was at a time when the popularity was overwhelming, and at the same time, the attention of this movie has never been viewed as a literary film.

But domestically, the film schedule of "Paradise Cinema" is still not high.

Theaters are not fools, "Paradise Cinema" is very good, the biggest winner of the Venice Film Festival, and was praised by countless media.

But still can not change, this is a literary film.

Of course, compared to other literary films, the lineup of "Paradise Cinema" is quite good.

"Paradise Cinema" did not have a grand premiere. It is an imported film, and it is also a literary film. Generally speaking, the premiere is for the promotion of the film. As a literary film, "Paradise Cinema" is a publicity film. The effect is no worse than those commercial blockbusters, what kind of bicycle do you want?
Of course, the most important thing is that the leading actors of "Paradise Cinema" are almost not well-known in China, so even if it is publicized, it is only Li Yi who is shirtless. For this reason, Li Yi simply canceled the premiere.

The domestic release of the film did not specifically choose any schedule, it was just to strike while the iron was hot, and to take advantage of the popularity of the Venice Film Festival to go directly to the film.

September [-]th!
As we all know, September is definitely not a popular month.

The summer vacation has just passed, and the students have started school, and the whole month of September is not a hot period.

Of course, this is also good. There is no particularly strong competitor in the same period.

In the screening hall, Du Xianghai looked around. The attendance rate was around 90.00%, and there were only a few vacancies here and there.

I can't help feeling that Li Yi's appeal is really awesome.

You must know that this is a literary film. Although this theater is located in the city center, the attendance rate is still enough to attract attention.

In fact, the movie "Paradise Cinema", regardless of whether it is a literary movie or a commercial movie, for fans who have not seen this movie, they have long been waiting for food, there is no way, the warm-up time It's so fucking long.

Moreover, Li Yi also contributed several headlines during the period, and then became the biggest winner of the Venice Film Festival.

Therefore, although the film schedule on the first day was not high, the attendance rate was definitely impressive enough. Of course, such an attendance rate can only mean that Li Yi's appeal is indeed very strong.

But the follow-up film's performance is the key.

"Don't you dislike literary movies? Why are you here?"

"Are movies directed by Dog also divided into literary and commercial?"

"That's right, anyway, I'm here to watch the diorama, this movie has been tantalizing for too long!"

"Just because Director Dog won the Golden Lion Award, I have to come and support him no matter what."

Du Xianghai couldn't help smiling, looking at the country, probably only Li Yi has such appeal?
Are movies directed by dogs also divided into literary and commercial?
This is something that many movie fans are talking about.

Because Li Yi's movies, whether they win awards or not, in terms of box office, there is really nothing to say, and the reputation is almost always top-notch.

Therefore, many movie fans tend to be more patient when watching Li Yi's movies.

As the lights dimmed and the big screen came on, most of the movie fans fell silent.

"Paradise Cinema" was released at the Venice Film Festival, but in fact, many domestic fans and film critics have not seen it much.

Some people who have gone to Venice may not be able to buy tickets for this movie.

There's no way, it's too hot. At the Venice Film Festival, "Paradise Cinema" only opened a few times, and the supply is really in short supply.

So the more I hear how awesome this movie is, the more itchy everyone feels. How awesome is it?
Now I can finally see it!

"Paradise Cinema" is really not fast-paced, and basically uses the 2-minute-long shot of white curtains fluttering on the windows facing the sea at the beginning, announcing that this movie is a fucking literary movie.

Because of normal commercial movies, where would they do this?

Movies are weird. When the critics are satisfied, the audience will feel bored!

As soon as "Paradise Cinema" opened, the audience in the theater was directly split into two parts.

"What is this?"

"Show us this thing in 2 minutes?"

"Be patient, there are usually no useless shots in movies directed by dogs! Maybe this shot has some special meaning?"

"So that's why I hate literary and artistic movies, they are always talking about it."

It's a pity that those movie fans who had high expectations for Li Yi may be disappointed this time.

The entire "Paradise Cinema" does not have any exaggerated shots, and the pace is slow to death.

Although the pace of "The Truman Show" is not fast, in fact, this movie has many commercial elements.

But "Paradise Cinema" did not!
This is a movie that requires patience to watch.

But how can movie fans have such patience?

The film critics and a small group of viewers were fascinated by it, but most of the viewers yawned and didn't even know how many times they yawned.

Even if this movie is Li Yi's movie, it still can't change the essence of this movie. It is a literary movie in the true sense.

For the vast majority of audiences who are accustomed to the fast pace, it is obviously difficult for them to calm down and savor carefully.

"Paradise Cinema" naturally does not have the property of being a big hit!Not only is the pace slow, the key is that the movie rarely has any special cool points.
