Chapter 813 813 Applause like thunder
When Hugo and Samuel, wearing T-shirts and shorts, left the restaurant like two fools, and left, the movie fell into a black screen, and the subtitles of "Screenwriter and Director: Quentin Tarantino" appeared. In an instant, all the audiences in the movie palace stood up in groups regardless of order, and thunderous applause swept across the entire Pompidou Square like a tsunami.
The subtitles on the big screen are still rolling, the lights in the cinema have not yet turned on, and the scene is still dark, but none of this can stop the audience's enthusiasm. The applause vents the surging emotions in the heart, and fluctuates back and forth in the space of the entire movie palace, which is very stunning to overturn the roof of the entire movie palace.
The lights slowly lit up, and the faces that seemed somewhat deformed because they were too excited gradually appeared. All the audiences in the movie palace stood up, regardless of age, gender, or nationality. Everyone stood upright, and then slapped their hands with all their might. The smile on the corners of their mouths and the excitement in their eyes were blooming, making the scene of the movie palace look like a red ocean surging.
Watching "Pulp Novels" is a very wonderful process, and it is often a confusing state, because the development of the story does not follow the normal time structure. If the time is sorted out, then Vincent and Jules should go to get the box, then "Bonnie's situation", followed by the robbery of the little pumpkin and the little rabbit at the beginning, then "Vincent and Masha's wife", and finally ended with a "gold watch".
If it is just a straightforward narration, then the movie may still be very interesting, but it lacks a little surprise. Quentin made a little bit of mystery in the timeline of the story development, cleverly modified the narrative order, artificially cut the plot, giving the film story structure more profound meaning and fun, making people feel enlightened after watching the movie. The stories of the film seem to be independent of each other and have many interruptions, but in fact, there are constant foreshadowings in the front and ends, connected everywhere, continuous, and endless, which makes people feel endless. It can be regarded as the biggest highlight of "vulgar novels"!
This is also the reason why "pulp novels" are called creating a new film genre, disrupting the narrative structure and reorganizing the story with nonlinear narrative methods, so as to make a simple story shine more. After that, "memento", "love is a bitch (a touch res.perros), "crash", "babel" and so on, including the circular narrative masterpiece "Before.the.rain" that also appeared in 1994, can be regarded as the representative works of this genre.
Of course, in addition to this, the black humor that runs through the film from beginning to end, the lines like jade, and the rich and interesting characters also left a deep impression on the audience.
Therefore, the entire viewing process was full of surprises. On the one hand, he was curious about what would happen next in the movie, and on the other hand, he was thinking about what the picture just passed represents. At the same time, he did not forget to react to the picture of the movie. Although the whole movie was 154 minutes long, for the audience, he had no idea of time at all, and subconsciously followed the plot of the movie. By the time he reacted, the movie was over.
The impact at the end of the movie is still left in the chest for a long time. The most distinctive thoughts in my mind are: It turns out that the movie can be filmed like this!
When this emotion burst out, stand up and applaud, these two actions were completed in one go. All viewers chose this most neat and direct way to express their complicated thoughts and surging emotions during the two and a half hours of watching the movie.
Applause is like thunder, and the mountains are yelling and tsunami are thundering.
Quentin smiled proudly at Hugo sitting beside him. Hugo originally thought Quentin was satisfied with the enthusiastic reaction on the scene, but he soon discovered the cunning in Quentin's eyes. Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, and then realized: Quentin was proud that the movie he shot played with the audience and achieved his original purpose.
What Quentin cares about is not that his movies can gain recognition from professionals. In addition to the suspected "rescued Django (django.unchained" 18 years later, it is suspected that he is moving closer to Oscars, Quentin has always been like this, just like a movie naughty boy. He is keen on playing with the audience and paying tribute to classic movies in his own way. He is even more keen on achieving entertainment through movies.
I believe many people will seriously analyze the deep meaning of "vulgar novels". Perhaps some people can come up with some ideas. After all, a movie largely reflects the director and screenwriter's outlook on life, world view and values; perhaps some people think it's nonsense and nothing is available.
But in Quentin's view, "pulp novels" are as simple and clear as the title of the film: low-level and interesting, simple-printed books and magazines. This is his original intention.
So, rather than saying that the lively applause at the scene pleasantly pleases Quentin, it is better to say that the audience's reaction during the movie was pleasant to him.
Hugo also showed a bright smile, looked at Quentin, and then shouted loudly in Quentin's ear, "Grass." This word is also the most common word in the movie, and it is also Quentin's most vivid interpretation of "Excellent". Sure enough, when he heard Hugo's words, his whole smile became active.
When the crew of "Pulp Novels" stood up collectively, walked to the front of the audience and thanked the audience, the applause at the scene actually increased again, and shouts and whistles sounded one after another, making the entire scene a sea of joy.
The whole thunderous applause lasted for fifteen minutes. Even though the host spoke repeatedly and tried to calm the audience down, the applause continued to last. The continuous sound praised the members of the entire "Pulp Novel" crew for God, and expressed their support for the movie in this most direct and simple way.
This feeling is really subtle.
Hugo had read "Pulp Novels", and he knew clearly that even in 1994, where the films were gathered, "Pulp Novels" were considered to be a classic of the same level as "Forrest Gump" and "Shawshank Redemption". But when he really watched it again in the cinema and deeply felt the audience's tsunami-like response, his inner surging was still irresistible.
This is a bit different from the premiere of "Schindler's List". At that time, "Schindler's List" was a normal premiere of the movie, and today "Pulp Novel" is in a film festival. No matter how many special meanings the film festival is given, it is ultimately a carnival party for a group of film lovers, and their desire to see the film's masterpiece has never changed.
In the Cannes Film Festival, although this is a film festival with a strong commercial atmosphere, the pickiness of French audiences is also well-known. Unlike Venice, Berlin, or the Toronto Film Festival that gradually rose after the 21st century, the audience at the Cannes Film Festival is very cruel and ruthless. French audiences judge movies very directly. Like it is like it, hate it is annoying. If you really hate it, it is common for the audience to stand on the way to play the movie; even if you watch the movie intact, it is not so easy to win the audience's applause.
So, how hard-earned the warm applause at the scene was, and the fanaticism in the eyes of the hundreds of viewers in front of them was also unseen in the premiere of "Schindler's List". This fanaticism is like flames, and when it gathers together, it bursts out with energy that is enough to change the world, making the blood start to boil.
Of course, if "Pulp Novel" holds a regular premiere like "Schindler's List" instead of choosing a film festival, then the situation will change a lot. Because "Pulp Novel" has too distinct personal style and is a typical cult movie. For the audience, the people who love it are crazy about it and the people who hate it sneer at it. Therefore, if "Pulp Novel" holds a regular premiere, you will be afraid that you will have to face the hot controversy and confrontation at the scene, rather than the endless applause in front of you.
The members of the entire crew bowed three times in total to express their gratitude to the audience, and the applause slowly came to an end.
In the routine interview, almost all the questions were concentrated on Quentin alone, and even Hugo was ignored by reporters. This is also a predictable result. When Hugo took on the filming of "Pulp novels", the media said that Quentin is a director with a strong personal style, and his personal light will conceal the existence of the actors. Facts have proved that this statement is correct.
Although "Pulp Novels" are constantly classic and characters such as Vincent, Jules, Miya have also been clearly marked, even if the characters are outstanding, they have become an accessory to the distinctive style of the entire movie. Quentin injected his most sharp personality into the movie.
Even twenty years later, many people still insisted that "Pulp novels" are Quentin's culmination of work. Although later works such as "Kill Bill" and "Inglorious Bastard" were also very outstanding, they did not surpass the peak of "Pulp novels".
Therefore, eight of the ten questions of the reporters on the scene were heading towards Quentin, which was expected. The remaining two questions were either Hugo's or Samuel's.
Although he felt a little neglected, Hugo actually ended up relaxingly. Because no matter how long it is, dealing with reporters is a hard thing, and attention must be highly concentrated.
After the routine group visit, the audience and the reporters got the opportunity to ask individual questions to the crew members at close range, and Hugo became busy again. Unexpectedly, European journalists seemed to have become interested in Hugo. Unlike the previous two official press conferences, the reporters surrounding Hugo were obviously much more enthusiastic at this time.
It seems that Hugo's performance in "Pulp Novels" is still very charming.
