Chapter 623: Toxic chicken soup

In the spacious hall, what happened in this corner of Ronan did not attract attention, and Michael Moore didn't seem to give up.

"As someone who knows the truth, I must be responsible." Michael Moore said to Ronan: "Mr. Anderson, I ask you not to refuse. Please make sure to take time to watch my documentary. It will arouse you. Social responsibility!"

Ronan was really helpless. By this time, he gradually realized that Michael Moore didn't seem to be messing around, as if he believed he was engaged in a just cause.

Just like Ronan thought, Michael Moore never wavered. He considered himself the guardian of freedom of speech and the press, a true freedom fighter and American hero.

Michael Moore has always felt that the camera is his gun, a freer and more lethal tool.

Ronan didn't plan to entangle him anymore. It was useless to say anything to someone who thought he was extremely correct. He simply said, "Well, Director Moore, if I have time, I will go to see the premiere of your documentary."

Michael Moore squeezed Ronan's hand firmly: "Be sure to come, for the truth! For the public's right to know! Please don't reject "Fahrenheit 911"."

Ronan smiled, didn't say anything, winked at Connie, waited for Connie to give her contact information to Michael Moore, and then left.

As she walked to the theater, Connie asked in a low voice, "What if he calls?"

Ronan thought for a while, and said, "Make an excuse and push it away."

The so-called truth should be left to those who want to know the truth.

What kind of truth do the audience like?

I hope my daughter is unparalleled, and I hope to win!

Princess Tangchuan's face value dominates the screen, Tangchuan wins!

After the general election: the latter slapped the former on the face, fighting with my eldest princess, and hitting you on the street!

From the very beginning, Ronan had certain doubts about "Fahrenheit 911". Even if Michael Moore came to the door, he still made the most conservative choice-rejection!

People will be conservative when they are old. Perhaps the psychological age is indeed relatively old. Ronan's performance in this documentary is exceptionally conservative.

After all, Ronan has too many cards to choose from, and there is no need to choose this one that is very politically risky.

Entering the theater, Ronan stopped considering "Fahrenheit 911" and chatted with Will Smith next to him.

"Is there any hope for Palme d'Or?" Will Smith had some illusions: "The chairman of the jury is Quentin's old ruffian. Will he be biased?"

In the three major European film festivals, the awards are also divided into cakes. Among them, the person who has the most power to cut the cake is the chairman of the jury. If the chairman of the jury wants to push a film to win, under normal circumstances, the film only needs to have a certain quality guarantee , The possibility of winning is great.

This is an art film festival, but it is not film art that ultimately determines the award.

Ronan shook his head: "I don't have much hope. We have a normal relationship with Quentin. Other non-Hollywood judges may not like this American dream movie."

If nothing happens, Quentin Tarantino will forcefully suppress the opinions of other judges and promote "Fahrenheit 911" to get Palme d'Or.

Quentin's ruffian doesn't care much about what the outside world thinks.

Will Smith sighed: "What about other awards?"

Ronan said directly: "All other awards are set aside, Will, we first guarantee the best actor."

"I don't feel hopeful." Will Smith shrugged: "This is my first time participating in the Cannes competition."

Ronan whispered: "It's always about dividing the cake. As long as we invest a certain amount of resources, the film festival will definitely consider giving us a piece."

Will Smith smiled and said, "The cake I hope to split up is called Palme d'Or."

Ronan doesn't hold any hope for this. A ruffian chairman, he certainly likes not to desperately sensationalize the content of the American dream, but to expose the dark reality of society.

Just consider Quentin Tarantino's filming style, and it is not difficult to guess his choice.

There are too many inspirational movies around the world, and the filmmakers who shouted for cure in their blood stimulated the nerves of the audience, but in the end, only a few classics with sincerity and talent remained, and they can remain as classics. There must be special reasons for his inspirational movies, such as "When happiness comes knocking on the door."

If "Fahrenheit 911" is the knife that once again uncovered the biggest scar of the United States of 911, then "When happiness comes knocking on the door" is a bowl of spiritual chicken soup that can fill people with constant dreams.

This bowl of chicken soup is so delicious that people believe that as long as you stick to it, happiness and success will come.

Fortunately, it was only in 2004, and the chicken soup for the soul is still popular. If this film is placed more than ten years later, it might hit the street.

The success of this kind of film is always closely connected with social reality.

If the bubble of the American dream is completely punctured, this kind of soul chicken soup movie will inevitably narrow the audience.

When the anti-chicken soup culture spreads, this kind of film falls in the eyes of many people, and it will become synonymous with false, artificial and sensational.

Ronan still remembers that when he lived on the other side of Taiping, after 2010, many people engaged in real estate agency, conference-style health care product marketing and even MLM included "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" as a must-see movie for newcomer training. , Its flooding degree is even the same as "Grateful Heart".

Who would have thought that this film would later be used as a brainwashing tool by many organizations.

Many users who give "When Happiness Knock on the Door" on some rating websites have a great relationship with these people.

I am afraid that in the eyes of those who have been devastated by training, I would like to give this film a negative score.

In any case, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has been released, and in the future, many sales companies and training institutions will have an additional training tool.

Ronan considered that it is necessary to apply for copyright protection. Any company or individual who uses "When Happiness Comes Knock on the Door" for training must pay high fees.

For a while, as long as Ronan saw this film, his head would not consciously sound the "Grateful Heart" that was sung by him during the first training after graduation.

Soul Chicken Soup is delicious, but if you drink too much, you can easily become poisoned.

Hollywood inspirational movies must not be taken seriously, even if they are based on real-life genres, half of them are in line with the facts, even if they are very conscientious.

The basic information of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" comes from Chris Gardner's own dictation. Only he himself knows whether there is any extra effort.

Then the materials came to the desks of the screenwriters of Shahai Entertainment. According to Hollywood's screenwriting principles, and to make the film more interesting and meet the requirements of commercial inspirational films, it is bound to be adapted drastically.

Many uncomfortable, irrational, and some dark plots must be eliminated first.

For example, there are too many things that cannot be said about the profession of stock brokers.

The final movie works will inevitably become a feast that many chefs work together and carefully cooked according to market needs.

As for how many seasonings and additives are used, even those involved in the cooking work can’t tell.

Therefore, Hollywood's inspirational movies are good for entertainment. Don't drink them in your mouth. If you are poisoned, Hollywood studios are not responsible for detoxification.

From a movie perspective alone, this film has considerable quality. Although it is a prize-winning film, the content is more commercial, and it will not make the audience feel that the film is boring.

What's more, Will Smith in this era has its own spectator effect bonus.

In Will Smith's peak period, no matter how bad movies are in his hands, they will become popular commercial movies at the box office.

Ronan knows very well that Will Smith, who has not started the "Funer Crazy Mode", is one of Hollywood's most commercially appealing stars.

Even in this period, Will Smith's business appeal is already above Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

"When Happiness Knocks" was successfully premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and the crew and the Embassy Pictures have also begun to operate in full swing. The ability to get an award from the Cannes Film Festival will definitely help the Hollywood awards season at the end of the year.

Of course, the professional team of Embassy Pictures also saw it very clearly. It also strategically abandoned the Palme d’Or and set its main goal on the jury award and the best actor award.

However, Will Smith has a strong opponent in the best actor award.

The French branch of Embassy Pictures received news that after the judges of the jury had watched Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11", several European judges proposed to list Comrade Xiaobu as the best actor candidate.

A female judge directly stated publicly: We did seriously consider whether to give Xiaobu the "Cannes Actor".

And judging from the response of "When Happiness is Knocking on the Door" in French local media Will Smith does not have an overwhelming advantage in competing for the best actor.

Unexpectedly, the European media rarely bought the account of "When Happiness Knocked on the Door", and most of their evaluations of American Soul Chicken Soup tended to be negative.

"Full of Hollywood tackiness. All the failed, fallen, all the people at the bottom can get an illusory, superficial spiritual comfort in it. But please be sober, you may not have a shrewd mathematical mind, or you may not be good at words, you may Nothing is good, can you succeed? This Hollywood-style heroism actually uses a coincidental particularity to blind the universality of life, thus achieving a kind of pseudo-humanity."

"This film is to promote and create pleasant illusions, not to tell the truth, so it can't move people."

"Typical American inspirational films are a bit fake and a little sensual. I dislike this model of American dreams and successful dreams. The scams of modern society can only make difficult lives more difficult."

""When Happiness Knocks on the Door", another tactic used by Hollywood to promote the so-called American dream!"
