Every year, I look forward to seeing something new, but what I see every year... feels like it's out of the world I'm familiar with.

Count forward.

No results were received at the 59th Cannes Film Festival.

In the 58th session, Wang Xiaoshuai's movie "Green Red" was recognized by the jury and won the jury award, but the story was the same old thing.

Looking at the parents who were just like the old Manchus in the feudal era, they killed their daughter's dreams, forced her daughter Qinghong to separate from her lover Xiaogen, and then Qinghong rebelled against her parents, leaving a tragedy in the end.

How is it?

Does it look familiar?

Remove the modern background and put it in the background of the Republic of China. If you say it sounds good, it is a family story about the conflict between the family elders and their heirs, but if it sounds bad, it is like "Red Sorghum", "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Ju Dou"

》Spiritual synthesis will do.

Especially the shooting technique is still gloomy, dark and obscure...

It's like if you don't do this, you won't be able to make movies.

It’s true that movies need profound elements, but Chinese movies can’t only have profound elements, right?

Going forward, Wang Jiawei-"2046".

If nothing else, just ask those who praised this movie how good it is, how many of them really understand the metaphors in "2046", and how many of them are just following the trend, in order to give themselves the title of literary celebrity, and they are ignorant.

Do you conscientiously say that it looks good?

Movies...the most essential thing is to tell a good story, right?

Even South Korea, which originally imitated Chinese movies, has begun to transform in recent years. Why do Chinese people still hold on to it?

Moving forward, Lou Ye's spy film "Purple Butterfly".

Still no splash, just shortlisted, no award at all.

Going further, "Ren Xiaoyao", one of Jia Zhangke's "Hometown Trilogy"...

Regarding these themes, no matter how you look at them, they don’t look like movies made for the audience. They look more like things that are deliberately made to make people incomprehensible to win awards or for some other purpose.

With the rise of the Internet, a large number of netizens have poured into the Internet and talked loudly on the Internet. When discussing movies, there will always be people talking about the golden age of Chinese movies, such as "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine".

Why do we often talk about these things? Because they first told everyone a story, and perfectly integrated the spirit they placed in the story into the story.

Because I have been brilliant before, I want to continue to be brilliant.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve watched this award-winning movie, whether you like it or not, as long as you can win an award, it’s a great movie.

No matter how old faces can go to Cannes or the third generation, I don’t think about why only these familiar faces go there every year, unlike other countries where some people pop up every year with refreshing ideas.

s work……

Don't think about anything.

Get prizes for the sake of getting prizes.

If Wang Jiawei is available, choose Wang Jiawei; if Wang Jiawei is not available, choose Jia Zhangke.

If there is no one, look at whose name looks like a Chinese... After checking the information, it turns out that he is a Korean...

Of course, there are many people who really like movies and are knowledgeable about them.

But people who really understand movies will not pay special attention to who has entered the finals at this time.

Even though they had paid attention before, they were paying attention to the movie, not this list.

At most, I just see which director has been shortlisted, and take it for granted because I recognize the other person's ability, and then worry about whether the film made by the other person can be released in China, that's all.

So, the reason why we say frying pan is very simple.

For those who place their hopes on one person and repeatedly ask whether they have been shortlisted or not, their focus is not on the movie, but directly on winning the award. It cannot be said that it goes against the movie itself.

But it can only be said that their utilitarianism towards movies is definitely greater than their love for movies.

But if a short man chooses a general with just Wang Jiawei, they may feel that it is not safe.

Therefore, all hopes are pinned on Jiang Wen's already highly hyped movie - "The Sun Also Rises", which has just completed post-production in France and it is not yet known whether he will have time to be selected to participate in the exhibition.

At this moment, the owner of the Cannes Film Bar finally got the list of this year’s Cannes and posted a pinned post:

"The 60th Cannes Nomination List"

One minute after the post was posted, the number of views immediately exceeded 300.

In two minutes, it broke 700.

Three minutes later...

A post appeared on the post bar, which made some people who had not had time to read it feel a little baffled, but at the same time it was in line with everyone's understanding:

"Are you kidding me?"

And the name of this post is:

""The Untold Secret"? Is Jay Chou worthy of going to Cannes?"

The content of the post is not yet known.

But after refreshing the web page, more related topics popped up.

"Isn't Jay Chou a singer? Why did he go to Cannes?"

"Reprinted: The first trailer of "The Secret That Cannot Be Told. Idol drama style? Cannes??"

“Has Cannes been taken over by Jay Chou’s crazy fans?”

"Is this list correct? Jay Chou? Cannes? Where's Jiang Wen? Where's "The Sun Also Rises"?"

"???What did I see? "The Untold Secret"?"

"Is it possible that Cannes got it wrong?"

"Okay, now Cannes' selection criteria are no longer a secret that cannot be told."

And a very inconspicuous little post:
Chapter completed!
