After reading this post, Pei Qian fell into a long silence.
Does this work too
If "Better Tomorrow" won the Palme d'Or, I would endure Ning's analysis in this meal.
Now that I haven't won the Palme d'Or, Ning still put aside this analysis, and then the conclusion of the analysis is: it can be won, but it is not necessary
I can't stand this passerby!
What this post says between the lines is nothing more than one meaning: "Better Tomorrow" is completely capable of winning the Palme d'Or, but it was missed because of some special factors!
I have to say that this kind of blowing seems to be better than actually getting the Palme d'Or.
You can see it in the comments section of the post.
"That's it! Thanks for the popular science!"
"No wonder there are so many doorways."
"Indeed, the last Easter egg will be particularly understandable by domestic audiences, which completely elevates the idea of the whole film. But in the eyes of foreign audiences, especially in the eyes of the jury, this will definitely make people very uncomfortable. uncomfortable."
"Maybe the jury felt that the last Easter egg completely destroyed the artistry of the film."
"Well, I can't say more, I understand everything."
"But under so many unfavorable conditions, "Better Tomorrow" still won the Grand Jury Prize, doesn't it even more show how well this film was made?"
"It's a pity, I knew I would cut off the second easter egg at the end of the film and send it back!"
"I think instead, the main creative team may have realized this problem, but did not do it."
"Why? Can't live with the award?"
There was a lot of discussion, and another big film critic who had read countless films spoke up.
"I also think the main creative team should be intentional, which is not difficult to understand."
"First of all, the creative team must be very clear about what the film wants to express, and the meaning of throwing a gun. Otherwise, why would they make it?"
"If they knew the meaning of this easter egg, they would naturally also know that this scene might not be accepted by the jury."
"It was easy to cut the egg, but they still didn't do it."
"I think there are two reasons."
"First, they know that Cannes prefers premiere films, so they never thought they would win an award, let alone the chance to hit the Palme d'Or, they just went there with a soy sauce mentality, and there was no need to please the jury. "
"Second, they may be aware of it, but they insist on expressing their thoughts fully in the film."
"If the last easter egg is deleted, the film is equivalent to lacking something. Maybe the main creative team is so stubborn in wanting to keep the film intact, even if it is a seemingly insignificant easter egg, they are unwilling to delete it. "
After reading the analysis of this big man, the people who eat melon suddenly realized.
I see!
That's right, what can be analyzed by film critics, can creators not understand
But they still took the full version to the exhibition without hesitation, which is equivalent to competing in other people's territory and under other people's rules, and then they did not cater to the judges, and won the second place relying on hard power.
Could this be... the pride of an artist
Netizens couldn't help but sigh, and sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been young!
Those old artists in the film industry are respectable, but there are also many old filmmakers who take the initiative to cater to the taste of the jury in order to win awards at international film festivals, giving up part of their expression to some extent.
This is not only the sorrow of some filmmakers, but also the sorrow of the entire domestic film industry.
But the entire creative team of Feihuang Studio, from the director to the screenwriter, are all of the younger generation.
This kind of feeling is like a young knight who, with arrogance, takes the sword that he has sharpened with great concentration to participate in the sword discussion conference on the top of the martial arts, and still insists on himself even when he knows how to criticize the praise, and uses hard Strength conquers everyone.
At this time, is there a difference between winning the first place or the second place
Although it did not win the Palme d'Or, the significance brought by the main creative team to the domestic film industry is far greater than that of a Palme d'Or!
This post once again detonated the heat and sparked a heated discussion!
Then, for some unknown reason, someone posted the ratings on major websites.
"Yesterday, the movie database score on the Internet came out, with a score of 8.2. Some people may think this score is not high, but judging from the score of this website, there are very few movies with a score of 9 in the entire film history, with a score of 8.2. points, and has successfully entered the top 250 in the database!"
"If we look at this score as a percentage, then we have to pull out some domestic websites to whip the corpse."
"I still remember that the ratings of "Better Tomorrow" on many websites dropped below 8.5 points, which is especially funny in an environment where a good domestic movie can easily get more than 9.5 points."
"As you can see, the rating on the tpdb website has hovered around 9.1 points from beginning to end. Although there are slight fluctuations, it is always stable as an old dog!"
"I think a low score does not mean strictness, and everyone doesn't have to keep staring at the ratings of foreign websites. After all, "Better Tomorrow" was created by Chinese people, and some of the content it wants to express can only be understood by Chinese people."
"I hope this film can get off to a good start, so that domestic films don't have to flatter international film festivals, but can focus on telling the stories of the Chinese people!"
"I appeal to everyone to register an account on the tpdb website, and then go to Elli Island to brush "Better Tomorrow" again, so that we can remember this great commemorative day today!!"
…
After reading the comments of netizens, Pei Qian silently closed the page.
All right, that's it, give up the resistance.
Pei Qian found that these netizens were getting more and more outrageous, and they could always come up with new tricks every once in a while.
And I never expected that the last topic was brought to the tpdb website and the online version of "Better Tomorrow".
I don't know how many people will go to Ellie Island to buy "Better Tomorrow" this time, and I don't know how many people will add another sentence "One hundred million times again" and "Treasure of the town station" to the vast barrage at the beginning of the movie. , "World Line Bound" and the like.
Pei Qian seems to have seen the scene when he meets Zhu Xiaoce next time.
With excitement written all over his face, he would rush over and say to himself, "Mr. Pei! Your decision to sign a contract with Elli Island is a very wise and correct decision!"
If you think about it, it's a very depressing scene.
It's... so sad...
…
…
Thursday, May 26.
In the cafe near Handong University, He An's second lecture to "Ma Yang" officially started.
In the past two days, Pei Qian didn't sleep very well because of the "Better Tomorrow" incident.
However, in order to ensure the learning effect of today's course, Pei Qian lay down early yesterday, and woke up naturally today, so that his beaten spirit was restored.
Before the lecture, Pei Qian glanced at the title of the textbook for this class very slyly.
"Successful case explanation second lesson: use foresight to grasp the development context of the industry! 》
Pei Qian couldn't help but be very happy.
Finally, the case of Tenda is no longer mentioned!
The content I talked about last time was actually quite good, mainly talking about the game from production to promotion.
The only fly in the ointment is that he talked about too many positive cases of Tenda's game promotion, which made Pei Qian feel like he was being rubbed by wounds.
However, there are still some gains. Pei Qian plans to use the knowledge he has learned when "Struggle" is released.
False propaganda is unlikely, the system does not allow it, but at least one-handed dislocation propaganda is possible.
Sometimes, telling a part of the truth can have a better effect than telling a lie.
In short, the last course was very helpful and instructive, and the tuition was not in vain.
And this time, it seems to be more reliable.
Grasp the development context of the industry? Sounds like a lot of stuff!
He An took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "The content of the last class is the foundation of the basics, which is to establish the basic concept of game design, clearly define its type, and every step after that is strictly Follow the relevant rules."
"And what I'm going to talk about today is also the basics, but it's one level higher than the previous basic content. In short, there are so many game types now, which one should you choose?"
"Choosing the right type is actually half the battle."
"Here I want to give an example..."
Pei Qian's mood instantly became tense. Could it be another example of Tengda
Leave me alone, ball!
He An paused for a while and said, "mm."
Pei Qian let out a long breath.
Fortunately, Tenda has never done mm, which is great!
It looks like there is no need to be whipped today!
His waist straightened a little in an instant.
He An did not notice the rich inner drama of "Ma Yang", and continued: "mm has been considered the ultimate form of the game for a long time in the past, and this has sufficient theoretical support, because this large multi Human role-playing online games can build a virtual world for players, provide rich enough content, and are highly scalable."
"Many gamers have thought about a question, what game can beat "Fantasy World"? At that time, everyone came to the conclusion that if you want to beat "Fantasy World", you can only rely on another better mm game."
"However… "
"The latest trends in the game industry have proved this view wrong, because the mm game that has the hope of defeating "Fantasy World" has never appeared, but the game type that has the hope of defeating the mm has appeared."
"That's right, that is the battle game that is very popular in China and even around the world, gog and ioi!"
Pei Qian: "..."
Live without love.
It turned out that mm was just an introduction, and finally came back to this topic!
He An noticed the abnormality of "Ma Yang" and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ma, is there any problem?"
Pei Qian forced a smile: "No, nothing. Does this have anything to do with today's class?"
He An nodded: "Of course it matters! I have emphasized that if you choose the right genre, you are half the battle. Top game producers can't use a new mm to beat "Fantasy World", but they can use a A new game type to beat mm!"
"Obviously, that's a keen sense of smell!"
"Think about it, if other first-class game producers are still fighting with mm, but you are keenly aware of the huge prospects of ioi, take a step forward, establish advantages, and seize the market... Just like a butterfly flapping its wings, It seems to be only one step away, but in the end it becomes a world of difference!"
"Tengda is ahead of other game manufacturers. It invested in ioi first, and then developed gog by itself. Obviously, you are doing that butterfly that flaps its wings. Mr. Ma, as a senior executive of Tengda's investment department, your understanding of this aspect should be better than that of you. Am I deeper?"
He An had a smile on his face, as if he felt that the cases experienced by "Mr. Ma" should give him more inspiration and a better understanding of the course knowledge.
Pei Qian was speechless.
At the same time, he was also in turmoil.
How should I tell Mr. He that this project is actually invested by Ma Yang, and I am not the real Ma Yang, and even if it is the real Ma Yang, he invested in this project not because of his keen sense of smell, but just on a whim? …
Forget it, just smoothing out this relationship is enough to cause headaches, and most of them can't be explained.
Pei Qian could only nod silently, agree with what He An said, and take the opportunity to ask questions and change the subject.
"Then Mr. He, according to this theory, does it mean that if you choose a game type that is declining, you are almost doomed to fail?"
He An thought for a while: "There are no absolutes in the world."
"Many retro game types, even mosaic-style games, can still be favored by many players as long as the content is rich enough and the gameplay is novel enough. After all, there are too many players in the world, as long as you find the right target player group, A small group of players can well feed a game project.”
"But... the theory you mentioned is not a problem in itself."
"The more waning the game type, the fewer players who like this game. If the investment in the game itself is huge at this time, it will greatly increase the risk of failure."
"There is even a high possibility of losing everything."
Hearing this, Pei Qian couldn't help but light up.
Great, weird money-losing ideas have been added!
Pei Qian asked: "Mr. He, suppose I want to spend a lot of money on a real-time strategy game at this point in time... What will happen?"
He An smiled slightly: "Then why don't you call me the money, at least I'll say thank you. Or it's not bad to use the money to waste water, at least you can hear it."
A smile appeared on Pei Qian's face.
Who says this course is useless
The game to be developed in the next cycle, isn't this a spectrum!
Mr. He, you are really my guiding light!
