Chapter seven hundred and twentieth the sorrow of the times

Cannes is a regular 2D version. At the opening screening, the audience applauded three times together, which appeared at the end of the first action scene, the end of the "pole vault" action paragraph and the end of the entire film. There were also 6 to 8 sporadic applauses, including the collective applause of the audience after all the subtitles were played.

It can be said that the overall viewing atmosphere is very lively, just like the title of the film.

European and American film media have been conquered by Duke's masterpiece. "The action scenes that will always be recorded in film history are squandering and unrestrained, and the unrestrained imagination is surprisingly expressive." They praised them with praise.

In another hotel suite not far from Natalie Portman, Duke was sitting on the balcony looking at the sea not far away. Tina Fe walked in with a pot of black tea, poured Duke a cup first, and then sat on the rattan chair on his left hand.

"I'll be back so soon," Duke withdrew his gaze and looked at Tina Fey, "Is there any good news?"

Tina Fei just answered a call, curled her lips and nodded, "Warner Bros. has counted the comments from 36 mainstream European and American media in the past, and they are basically positive, with an average score of up to 97 points!"

"97 points..."

Even Duke was a little moved. Although the media's comments were different from those of the audience, no one could deny that the media can always influence the public.

He thought for a while and asked, "It seems that my movies have never had such a high media rating?"

"Hmm..." Tina Fei picked up her teacup and said before drinking, "It's really the first time."

"I don't know how high the media score is," Duke said slowly, pounding the armrest of the chair, "How much can be converted into market consumption power after the movie is officially released!"

For him, if the media's 100-point rating cannot attract a huge number of public, it is worthless.

There are many videos that the media have rated high in the past, but the audience refuses to buy.

Tina Fei put down her teacup and said, "Our people have already gone to the two preview theaters in "Rampant Road" to do a survey."

"Rampant Road" will continue to be screened during the Cannes Film Festival, but the number of screenings is extremely limited. Except for the opening screening, there will be only six episodes in the next ten days.

Not far from the hotel where Duke is staying, an open-air cafe on Binhai Road is crowded with tourists and fans from all over the world. They will watch a large number of movies during the festival, but there are too many movies displayed during the festival, and even if you stay awake, you will not be able to see them all.

In this way, places with high traffic like bars and cafes have become a good place for many people to exchange information. Many experienced fans will come here before choosing a video. Listen to other people's opinions on certain videos in order to find the best ones from the screenings of varying quality.

Mike Banning sat alone in an open-air cafe, pricking up his ears to capture the information around him. He was an Englishman who came to Cannes at this time, with only one purpose, to participate in the Cannes Film Festival and watch the best movies.

He arrived in Cannes this morning and watched a movie called "The Travel of Red Balloons" in the morning, which made him extremely depressed, especially the director of the film. It would be fine if the film was ugly. He even said with a striking verbal statement that "the director does not need the audience to create." He was so angry that he really wanted to vomit that guy's saliva. Since he didn't need the audience, he just hid at home and admired it himself. Why should he attend the open film festival?

Pretendive!

This is the most suitable adjective that Mike Banning can think of.

There were more and more people in the open-air cafe, and even the table where Mike Banning was located was sitting.

These people are obviously together, and seem to be discussing a movie. The accent sounds like Australians. These guys speak English, and Mike Banning can understand it completely.

"Hewitt..." said one of the older people, "Don't you know some people from the organizing committee? Can you get tickets?"

"He can't promise." The young man named Hewitt shook his head, "Phillips, you have seen it too, too many people watching this video."

"Yes, too many!"

Another man in his thirties held a coffee cup and said, "We went to queue up just after lunch. Who would have thought that there were more than 2,000 people in line, and the cinema that was shown was not Lumiere Hall. We should have been waiting in line after breakfast!"

The oldest Phillips patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Fortunately we had watched this movie yesterday. Although it was a pity to not see it today, we were still very lucky than those who hadn't seen it."

"That's right!"

After echoing a sentence, Hewitt seemed to remember the movie again and said with a gaze, "The precise narrative rhythm as a scalpel, extremely concise and capable lines, and creative movements and pursuit designs make people yesterday's character positioning and expressiveness, and almost no shortcomings are found. The two large vases of male and female leading actors are more handy!"

The man in his thirties put down his coffee cup and said loudly, "The director's talent is really amazing, especially the action design that transcends imagination makes other action movies directly compare to slags."

"What superheroes and racing thiefs are like this movie," Phillips said slightly exaggeratedly, "It's just a kid's house."

Hearing these words, Mike Banning finally couldn't help it, "Sorry..."

All three of them watched it and he quickly said, "Can you know what video you are talking about?"

"you do not know?"

"Didn't you watch it?"

"You don't know about this video now in the streets and alleys of Cannes?"

Hearing the sound of three people asking questions one after another, Mike Benning scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm here today..."

Before he could finish his words, the youngest Hewitt said, "We are talking about the opening film of this film festival, Duke Rosenberg's "Rampant Road"!"

"The Road of Furious?" Mike Benning silently remembered it in his heart and asked again, "Is it very good?"

Before the three people could answer, a young man at the next table said, "Didn't you watch today's major media? Almost all gave Duke's new films one hundred points!"

A girl opposite him then said, "If you don't know what a crazy movie is, you'll know after watching "The Road of Furious."

"That's right!"

"That's it!"

It seems that many people have heard the sound of talking about this video, and there are many voices of echoing in the entire open-air cafe.

Someone even stood up and said loudly, "This is the tragedy of our time. Because from then on, there have been only two categories of action movies, "The Road of Furious" and other action movies!"

Mike Banning already understood what video he should watch below.

After asking a few more questions, Mike Banning left the open-air cafe and walked directly to the theater where "Raging Road" was shown in the evening. Although it was more than three hours before the screening began, he learned from the conversation between several people in the deskmates that if you want to see this video, you have to queue up in advance.

"Latest news."

Tina Fee, wearing casual clothes, walked behind Duke, looked at him, reminding, "This dress is a bit short."

This is the casual shirt that Duke just sent. He looked at the mirror. It was indeed a little short. He took off his clothes and changed into another white one, took out his sunglasses and put them on, and said to Tina Fei, "Let's go."

The two left the room, Tina Fei said while walking, "A "Raging Road" at noon crowded more than 2,000 viewers, and only one-third of them entered the venue. The organizing committee suggested that we increase the number of screenings."

Duke frowned slightly and thought for a while until he left the hotel, he said, "Sustaining the current screening scale will allow Warner's media to increase live coverage."

After Tina Fei called, Duke walked along the coastal road. The beachfront avenue was wide and tidy, with beach bays on one side and elegant hotels on the other. The hotel buildings include ancient buildings from the last century and very modern buildings. In the green belt in the middle of the street, flowers bloom throughout the year, and the vibrant palm trees in the sun add a charming element to the small town.

During the Cannes Film Festival every year, Binhai Road is a gathering of celebrities, and of course paparazzi journalists are indispensable.

As soon as Duke walked out of the hotel, a reporter followed, but the four bodyguards vaguely surrounded him and Tina Fei in the middle. The reporter could take photos, but once they got too close, they would stop him.

On this road, celebrities and journalists often have a tacit understanding. The latter is not too disturbing, and the former will not stop the latter from taking photos.

And Duke came out just to increase his exposure to promote the video.

Tina Fei landed behind Duke, made another call, then took a few steps and chased after him.

"Jamie Johnson's news..." she whispered beside Duke, "Isabel Huppel has a great impression of our video."

Duke nodded, but said nothing. Sometimes he had to admire the connections and thoughtfulness of making plans by big Hollywood companies. "The Road of Furious" is a typical example.

Warner Bros.’s proposal to participate in the Cannes Film Festival is not a whim, but to make full use of the situation. From the script of this film, you can see extraordinary female characters. The chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival is still a famous feminist, and the film’s awards may increase infinitely...

"I'm sorry to bother you..."
