At half past seven, it was getting darker.

The guests in front of the Palace of Movie entered the Lumiere Hall one after another. According to the tradition of the Cannes Film Festival, everyone in the crew of "Crazy Stone" will appear in the final show!

The VIP lounge rested for about ten minutes, and then, led by the staff, Zhang Junsheng and his group walked into the screening hall.

Everyone in the theater stood up and applauded and paid tribute to the crew.

This is the rule!

Even newcomers to strangers will stand up and pay tribute - this is the tradition of Cannes.

Zhang Junsheng nodded to the surroundings as he walked. More than 2,000 people flocked to the main venue of Lumiere Hall. In addition to the guests and media personnel, there were also a large number of ordinary audiences.

What Zhang Junsheng attaches most importance to is the feedback from ordinary audiences!

The movie itself is made for the audience!

A director once said that when filming and making movies, the audience is not present, and the audience must be ignored.

This statement is not unreasonable, but since you think the audience can ignore it, after making the movie, you should hide in the studio and enjoy it slowly, rather than take it out and show it out for public display.

After a movie is shot, if it is not watched by the audience, it cannot be called a movie.

It is just a frame of pictures stored on the film or some data on the hard disk.

It can only be called a movie after it is screened and watched by the audience.

Its functional value can only be realized after being watched by the audience - entertainment, dissemination of information or education.

As a work of time-sustaining art, movies require audiences!

...

At the place where the guests were sitting behind, Hu Zongnan was a little disdainful: "I want to see what kind of movie Zhang Junsheng made, which actually made Jacob so respectful!"

“…It is said to be a multi-line narrative!”

Li Mingze talked about what he saw from "Cannes Promotion", and he also had little understanding...

"Multi-line narrative? What?"

Hu Zongming asked in confusion.

"...I don't know much, just look at it!"

Li Mingze looked around with great interest. This was the first time he sat in Lumiere Hall!

It's really worthy of being a movie palace!

2,000 people...

Hu Zongming also focused his energy...

Although he is very confident in "Red Cliff", Zhang Junsheng has too many fans and Yuehua's publicity ability is very strong!

However, thinking of "Crazy Stone" disclosed that the production cost is 12 million...

Hu Zongming suddenly laughed...

What's there to worry about?

12 million and 120 million US dollars are not at the same starting line at all!

The lights on the ceiling went out one after another, and the buzzing hall gradually became quiet. The big screen had already lit up. The first thing that appeared was the Dragon Biao, and then the logo of Yuehua Media, the movie officially began.

...

The first scene is Bao Shihong, played by Zhang Guoqiang, who looks at the dripping faucet with a bitter face: "I just can't pee, but I always want to pee..."

Switching the camera, a very irregular doctor's face appeared - Rao Xiaozhi made a guest appearance in a friendly manner...

Turn off the faucet and checked Bao Shihong. As Bao Shihong looked sour, the camera switched again.

"God is so unfair to me. I ride the cable car across the river every day, but I have never seen you! Maybe I am too concerned about the scenery of this city, who said I am a photographer?"

Xie Xiaomeng appeared...

"Ha ha…"

"What are you laughing at? Why is it not Mandarin? I don't understand!"

“…There are subtitles, you can watch the subtitles!”

There were many French students at the scene, muttering in a low voice.

Foreigners want to enjoy "Crazy Stone", which is a bit difficult. They can't understand the Eastern jokes, but it doesn't prevent them from laughing when they see Xie Xiaomeng's experience...

As Xie Xiaomeng's Coke fell from the cableway, the five big words "Crazy Stone" appeared!

In just three minutes, the audience saw nothing, but Hu Zongming, who was originally sitting on a chair and was still as moving as a mountain, sat upright and frowned. As the director, he keenly noticed the strangeness of the opening shot.

Masahiko Kurosawa once said that Akira Kurosawa likes Lao Toko's "Aki Jue" very much.

By the way, Masahiko Kuroda is the personal producer of Akira Kurosawa!

"One day he told me that a Chinese film was very good and asked me to watch it together. We knew nothing about the background of the movie at that time. I still remember that just a few minutes after the movie was opened, showing the scene at the heroine's home, and he said something - 'This director is amazing'. I said, how can you see his skills? Because I haven't felt it yet. He told me that every corner of you looks at him has careful arrangements!"

Hu Zongming's feelings are similar to Kurosawa Akira, and he has already judged Zhang Junsheng's control...

He thought of Kubrick's "The Killer" and "Rashomon"...

This is a very good director!

Sure enough, the following crash proved his guess!

Three lines form a point...

"This is a bare-sharp show-off!"

Hu Zongming was a little angry...

...

Xie Xiaomeng's can fell from the sky and smashed Bao Shihong's van. Just as Bao Shihong got out of the car and cursed, the car was in a downhill state and automatically fell, hitting the BMW that came to collectors. The accident caused the police to accidentally let the three thieves of Dao Ge run away, and the whole story quickly got on track.

As the plot develops, the main line of the story gradually becomes clear. The factory manager dug up a priceless jade and wanted to revive the factory, but it caused all parties to be moved.

In addition to the two forces of Dao Ge and Feng Dong, there are also branches of Sanbao, branches of Xie Xiaomeng, hidden diseases of Bao Shihong, etc.

Why is Crazy Stone so highly rated?

Apart from being funny, before "Crazy Stone", there was no commercial film with such narrative in China.

Although Ning Hao draws on many of Gerich's, in Chinese films, this is the first movie with many narrative clues and a Chinese-style black humor!

We have emphasized countless times that there is no Gayric in this time and space. "Crazy Stone" is the first multi-line narrative film in film history!

So, in the current ten minutes, three lines form one, and at the same time, the surrounding jade is released, and the audience in Lumiere Hall probably understand...

In fact, the reason why "Crazy Stone" can become a classic or even a masterpiece is not only because of its superb film technology, but also its humanistic care and social significance.

At the very top, it reflects the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises at the turn of the century - those in power colluded with capitalists to sell state-owned assets at a low price - employees of state-owned enterprises are in a difficult situation and are betrayed;

To go deeper, it shows how crazy human nature is in the face of temptation, but in the end the gem falls on the neck of the only person who is not crazy in the whole film - Bao’s wife;

In addition, the crisis of trust is even shattered everywhere in the movie: between father and son, between employees and factory director, between brother Dao Ge and Jingjing, between brother Dao Ge and Xiaojun, between black Pi and brother Dao Ge, between Bao Shihong and Sanbao…

These are the views of "New Century Weekly" on the film's special commentary, and there is a suspicion of over-interpretation, but the rich space for interpretation is not a bad thing for a movie.

In comparison, "Crazy Racing" is more like absurd for the sake of being funny. The plots such as international drug trafficking are far away from the lives of ordinary people. The whole film also lacks a strong background, and it is hard to follow the previous work of thought. Although "Racing" has stood out in Chinese comedy films...

Therefore, many people think that Ning Hao's starting point is "Crazy Stone", and the highest peak may also be "Crazy Stone"...

Of course, these are not important. The judges on the scene, a large number of viewers - they don't understand the Chinese jokes inside...

What they value is the structure of the movie!
