Chapter 831: 831
The 47th Cannes Film Festival finally came to an end. The jury led by American Clint Eastwood awarded the Palme d'Or to "Pulp Novel", which made Quentin Tarantino famous in his battle!
Media and audiences from all over the world have witnessed the emergence of "vulgar novels". This shocking film has changed people's fixed thinking about script creation, and at the same time has changed people's understanding of postmodern vulgar culture. In addition, it has also changed people's fundamental understanding of independent films.
From then on, with "pulp novels" as the starting point, the development trajectory of the film in the 1990s entered a watershed. After that, the status of independent films became more and more important, and even became an indispensable part of the film market. At the same time, works such as "memory fragments", "love is a bitch", "malan flower", and "crashing" with colorful structures and varied narrative techniques began to gradually become rich in the market; most importantly, postmodern films entered the hall and received advanced technology education such as videotapes, music videos, and computers onto the historical stage.
All of this begins with this Golden Palme d'Or, and is remembered by countless people!
"Pulp novels" not only witnessed the rise of Quentin, but Quentin, who only filmed two works, joined the ranks of first-line directors overnight and became the hottest independent director in the North American film market; at the same time, he also witnessed Hugo's top spot!
When Hugo took on "Pulp novels", people's worries were as hard as mountains: the super low pay of only 300,000 US dollars and the independent film production of 8 million yuan were enough to cover up the strong director's personal style of the actors, the fledgling novice director, the strong-willed producer of the Weinstein brothers, and the crew's negative news one after another during the filming process...
After all the details were connected, countless people were worried about whether Hugo, whose career was in a rapid rise, would once again usher in a "fatal moment"-like defeat, opening another collapsed downward curve.
Even the Chicago Tribune once joked, "At least this time Hugo learned his lesson, even if an investment of 8 million yuan is a crushing defeat, the losses are within the scope of affordability." It is obviously a failure to determine the "puff novel".
But the development curve of things is often impressive.
First, the "Schindler's List" swept the Oscar, and Hugo won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop, and it was in the limelight. Even the new Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks was slightly inferior, because Hugo not only had excellent acting skills, but also had excellent box office sales, and most importantly, the album sales were also excellent. Such an all-round artist has not appeared in Hollywood for many years.
Subsequently, the "pulp novel" that was criticized by the media did not take action. After taking action, it made a big splash, picked up the Palme d'Or to the Cannes Film Festival, and won the Best Actor Award to push Hugo's acting career to the first peak.
Whether it is a review of Hugo's twelve years of acting career or the two years after the Golden Raspberry Awards, this is undoubtedly the first peak that Hugo has reached! The regret of the "Death Poetry Club", the regret of "Smelling the fragrance to know women" and "The Sea of Righteousness" and the incompleteness of "Seattle's Night" and the talent accumulated over the years finally ushered in a full-scale explosion in the first half of 1994, pushing this man who only turned 27 in November this year to the peak of his career.
It can be said that the success of "pulp novels" is undoubtedly sensational!
After the Cannes Film Festival ended, major media from the world talked about it for a while, but it was obviously mostly praised.
The British magazine "Imperial" wrote a commentary with the title "Talentino Shines Cannes". The commentary mainly praised the excellence of the film "Pulp Novel" and the real reputation of winning the award. They believe that "this is an epoch-making work. Tarantino's mix of postmodern culture and his vulgar interpretation of the script undoubtedly gave the dead film industry new hope."
In addition, they also mentioned in their comments that "Ge from China and Lancaster from the United States tied for the best actors, which is also a big surprise. In particular, Lancaster's delicate but profound portrayal is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the whole movie. At the end of March, Lancaster gave the whole world a surprise, and at the end of May, Lancaster proved with his strength: he is not a meteor that flashed by."
Italian "Movie" magazine once criticized "Pulp Novels" for nothing during the Cannes Film Festival, but when the grand prize was announced, their attitude seemed to be more discouraged. The title "'Red' missed history, 'Pulp Novels' write legends" can show their regrets, but at the same time they can feel their admiration.
In the comments, the "Movie" spent more than two-thirds of its space to express its regret for "Red in the Blue, White and Red Trilogy". It was unable to rely on the same series to complete the Grand Slam feat in one year. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the Italian media. What's even more terrifying is that "Red" got nothing in Cannes and returned empty-handed.
The Italian media also realized that their excessive pursuit and exaggeration had made mistakes, which aroused the disgust of the French media and to some extent ruined the historical prospects of "red" so that the "movie" also satirized the French media in their comments, especially the French enthusiastically sought after "Queen Margo" who was finally defeated, "They seemed to have forgotten that the chairman of the jury was not French."
In this case, when the "movie" mentioned "pulp novels", the attitude was eased. Compared with "Queen Margo", the victory of "pulp novels" is more acceptable. "Cannes continued their admiration for Hollywood movies and once again chose American works. However, this time the "pulp novels" is an unexpected but commendable choice, just like the name of a movie. This is a pulp novel and a vulgar story, but it plays a new trick on the narrative pattern of the movie, which is undoubtedly a new inspiration to the film industry."
Although there was no praise, at least no criticism, this was a great improvement. Surprisingly, the "movie" praised Hugo. "In this vulgar story, Hugo Lancaster was the only discovery. He played a murderous ruffian so much that it made people admire him, reminding him of his performance in the "Schindler's List". He was very immersive and charming."
The French magazine "Movie Manual" has always had a unique taste. They have always admired "pulp novels". After learning the results, they did not curse like another professional magazine in France, but instead expressed their recognition of Cannes' choice this year.
They believe that "time will prove the significance of 'pulp novels' in the film field, and the jury's choice will be recognized by history." Such concise and clear comments also show their unique vision. Among the comments on performance awards, they believe that the choice of the film queen is a bad mistake and is not worthy of praise, and the choice of the actor is also quite controversial.
"Lancaster's performance should undoubtedly be the final 'only' winner. It is delicate but not lacks ostentatious, casual but not rigorous, solemn but not humorous. Lancaster's eyes are full of acting skills, which is amazing. Although Ge's performance is also very exciting and worthy of appreciation, it is undoubtedly true that Lancaster's exclusive winner of the Best Actor's Trophy. The jury made a wrong judgment."
Faced with such unique and precise comments, the "film review" from the United States also joked, "I don't know what role Ishiguro Kazuo played in the choice of the actor; and in order to issue the Palme d'Or to 'Pulp novels', the jury made any compromises within the jury."
Obviously, "Movie Review" agrees with the "Movie Manual" view, and they also praise Hugo's performance.
Of course, the comments from the Chicago Tribune were once again lit up, "Clint Eastwood brings Cannes to Palm Beach in Florida."
There is no doubt that they are satirizing Clint as an American to seek benefits for American movies. The jury completed some kind of transaction, so they awarded the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress to "Pulp Novels" because they believed that "this movie that was given countless praises was actually just a clip art made by a young man in the video hall pieced together the plots of countless classic movies. When plagiarism became a masterpiece, when copying and pasting became a feat, this is the most epoch-making scene in Cannes."
The Chicago Tribune voted "red" instead, believing that "this great film is a victim of politics and game, and has fulfilled the success of "Queen Margo" and "Pulp novels" and witnessed the unexpected rise of "scalding sun". They called "red" the "only victim" of this Cannes Film Festival.
In fact, there are still many media such as "Chicago Tribune" that are controversial about the results. After all, not everyone has watched movies in Cannes. In terms of impression, "pulp novels" are indeed dark horses, while "red" is the real hot topic.
But overall, there are more media that agree and appreciate the final choice of the Palme d'Or.
In any case, with the victory of "Pulp Novel", Quentin Tarantino's emergence is inevitable, and Hugo's reputation as an actor has reached an unprecedented height. As for whether "Pulp Novel" is worthy of its name or deserved, it will have to wait until the movie is widely released in North America and hand it over to more critics and more audiences to judge.
Before all this happened, Hugo, who returned to Los Angeles, was completely surrounded by the influx of media. Not only the media, but also the phone calls and scripts from major film companies have also flooded the elite brokerage companies.
