After reading this post, Pei Qian fell into a long silence.
Is this even possible?
If "Better Tomorrow" had won the Palme d'Or, I would have tolerated this analysis.
Now that I haven’t won the Palme d’Or, I would rather put aside this analysis and come to the conclusion: I can win it, but it’s not necessary?
I, a passerby, can’t stand it anymore!
The meaning between the lines in this post is nothing more than one thing: "Better Tomorrow" is fully capable of winning the Palme d'Or, but it just missed it because of some special factors!
I have to say that this kind of bragging seems to be easier than actually winning the Palme d'Or.
You can see this from the comment area of the post.
"That's it! Thank you for the popular science!"
"No wonder, it turns out there are so many ways."
"Indeed, the last one Domestic audiences will be particularly able to understand the easter eggs, which completely elevate the concept of the entire film. But in the eyes of foreign audiences, especially those on the jury, this will definitely make people uncomfortable. "< /p>
“Perhaps the jury feels 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 Jury Prize. Doesn't it further prove how well the film was made?"
"It's a pity, I would have known better. Cut out the second easter egg at the end and send it away!"
"On the contrary, I think the creative team may have been aware of this problem but didn't do it."
" Why? Can’t get away with the award?”
Everyone was talking about it, and another film critic who had read countless films spoke up.
“I also think that the creative team should have done it on purpose, which is actually not difficult to understand.”
“First of all, the creative team must know very well what the film wants to express, and it is very They knew the meaning of the easter egg of throwing the gun. Otherwise, why would they film it?"
"If they knew the meaning of the easter egg, they also knew that this scene might not be accepted by the jury. ."
"It would be easy to cut out this Easter 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 that they would win the award, let alone have the opportunity to compete for the Palme d'Or. They just went there with the mentality of soy sauce, and there was no need to please the jury. "
"Second, they may be aware of this, but they insist on expressing their thoughts completely in the movie."
"If the final easter egg is deleted, this movie will be The movie is missing something. Maybe the creative team is so stubborn about keeping the movie intact that they are unwilling to delete even a seemingly insignificant Easter egg. ”
Look.After the big man's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.
That’s it!
That’s right. If film critics can analyze something, how can the creator not understand it?
But they still went to the screening of the complete version without hesitation. This is equivalent to competing on someone else’s territory and under their rules, and then they didn’t cater to the judges, relying solely on hard power to win. Second place.
Is this... the pride of an artist?
Netizens couldn’t help but sigh, as expected, heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times!
Those old artists in the film industry are certainly respectable, but there are also many old filmmakers who, in order to win awards at international film festivals, take the initiative to cater to the tastes of the jury and give up to a certain extent. Express a part of yourself.
This is not only the tragedy of some filmmakers, but also the tragedy of the entire domestic film industry.
But the entire creative team of Feihuang Studio, from directors to screenwriters, are all from the younger generation.
This feeling is like that of a young knight who, with arrogance, takes the sword he has honed with great concentration to participate in the sword discussion conference at the top of the martial arts world, and knows how to please the judges. He still insisted on himself and conquered everyone with hard power.
At this time, is there any difference between winning first place or second place?
Although they did not win the Palme d'Or, the significance that the creative team brought to the domestic film industry is far greater than a Palme d'Or!
This post once again caused a stir and sparked heated discussions!
Then for some unknown reason, someone posted the ratings on major websites.
“Yesterday, the score of the movie database on the Internet came out, with a score of 8.2. Some people may think that this score is not high, but judging from the scores of this website, movies with a score of 9.2 are among the best. There are only a few in the history of movies, with a score of 8.2, it has successfully entered the TOP250 of the database!"
"If you look at this score in terms of percentages, you have to pull out some domestic websites to criticize it! "
"I still remember that the rating of "A Better Tomorrow" on many websites fell below 8.5 points. In an environment where a good domestic movie can easily get more than 9.5 points, It seems particularly funny.”
“As you can see, the rating on the TPDb website has been hovering around 9.1 from beginning to end. Although there are slight fluctuations, it is always as stable as an old dog!”
< p> "I think that low scores do not mean strictness, and you don't have to keep looking at the scores 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 movie can make a good start so that domestic films do not have to flatter international film festivals, but can focus on telling the stories of the Chinese people!"
"Here I am Appeal, please everyone to register an account on the TPDb website, and then goPlay "Better Tomorrow" on Elly Island to remember this great and memorable day! ! "
...
After reading the comments from netizens, Pei Qian silently closed the webpage.
Okay, that's it, give up resistance.
Pei Qian found that these netizens were getting more and more outrageous, and they always came up with new tricks every once in a while.
And he never expected that the last topic would come up again. I was directed to the TPDb website and the online version of "A Better Tomorrow"
I don't know how many people will go to Ellie Island to buy "A Better Tomorrow" this time, and I don't know how many people there will be. How many people added to the vast barrage at the beginning of the movie "One hundred million times", "Treasure of the Station", "World Line Convergence" and the like.
Pei Qian seems to have seen his next step. The scene when he met Zhu Xiaoce for the first time
He would definitely have excitement written all over his face, and he would rush over and say to himself: "Mr. Pei! Your decision to sign a share-sharing contract with Ellie Island is truly a wise and correct decision! ”
Just think about it, it’s an extremely depressing scene.
It’s really... melancholy...

……
May 26, Thursday
He An’s second lecture on “Ma Yang” in a cafe near Handong University. , officially begins.
Pei Qian has not slept very well in the past two days because of the "Better Tomorrow" incident.
However, in order to ensure the learning effect of today's course, Pei Qian. I went to bed early yesterday and woke up naturally today, allowing myself to recover from my battered spirit.
Before the lecture, Pei Qian glanced at the title of this class's textbook with a very naughty look.
"Lesson 2 of Successful Case Study: Use foresight to grasp the development trend of the industry"
Pei Qian couldn't help but be very happy.
Finally, he stopped talking about Tengda. case!
The content I talked about last time was actually quite good. It mainly talked about the game from production to promotion. It is actually an unbreakable whole. Only by choosing the corresponding promotion method according to the game type can it be effective. The best effect.
The only drawback is that there are too many positive cases of Tenda game promotion, which makes Pei Qian feel like salt is being rubbed into the wound.
But the harvest is still there. Yes, Pei Qian plans to use the knowledge he has learned when "Struggle" is released.
False propaganda is unlikely because the system does not allow it, but at least he can do misplaced propaganda.
Sometimes, telling part of the truth can have better results than telling lies.
In short, the last course was very helpful and instructive. , the tuition is not in vain.
And this course seems to be more reliable.
It sounds like it is full of useful information! /p>
He AnheHe took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "The content taught in the last class can be regarded as the foundation of the foundation. It is to establish the basic concept of game design and clearly define its type. Every subsequent step must strictly follow the relevant rules. Come."
"What we are going to talk about today is also the basics, but it is a level higher than the previous basic content. In short, there are so many game types now, what should they be. Which one to choose?"
"Choosing the right type is actually half the battle."
"Here I want to give an example..."
Pei Qian's mood suddenly became tense. Could it be another example of Tengda?
Leave me alone, Qiuqiu!
He An paused for a moment and said, "MM."
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tengda has never done MM, which is great!
Looks like I won’t be whipped today!
My waist straightened up a bit 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. There are sufficient theories on this Support, because this kind of massively multiplayer role-playing online game can build a virtual world for players, provide rich enough content, and is extremely scalable."
"Many gamers have thought about it. One question is, what game can beat "Fantasy World"? At that time, everyone came to the conclusion that the only way to beat "Fantasy World" was to rely on another better MM game. ”
< p>"However...""The latest game industry trends have proven that this view is wrong, because there has never been an MM game that hopes to defeat "Fantasy World", but there is hope The game type that defeats MM has appeared."
"Yes, that is the battle game that is very popular in China and even around the world, GOG and ioi!"
Pei Qian: "..."
I have no love in my life.
It turns out that MM is just an introduction, but I finally came back to this topic!
He An noticed something unusual about "Ma Yang" and asked in surprise: "Mr. Ma, is there any problem?"
Pei Qian forced a smile: "No, it's nothing." . Does this have anything to do with today’s course?”
He An nodded: “Of course it does! I emphasized that choosing the right genre is half the battle. There is no way to defeat "Fantasy World" with a new MM, but you can defeat MM with a new game type!"
"Obviously, this is a keen sense of smell!"
“Think about it, if other first-class game producers are still struggling with MM, you are keenly observing the huge prospects of ioi, one step ahead of others, establishing advantages and seizing the market... Just like a butterfly Flapping its wings, it seems that onlyIt was a small step, but in the end it became a world of difference! ”
“Tengda invested in ioi before other game manufacturers, and then developed GOG by itself. It is obviously like that butterfly flapping its wings hard. Mr. Ma, as a senior executive of Tenda’s investment department, you should have a deeper understanding of this aspect than I do, right? ”
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 better understand the knowledge of the course.
Pei Qian was speechless.
At the same time, he was also confused.
How should I tell Teacher He that this project was actually invested by Ma Yang and I was not the real Ma. Yang, and even if it is the real Ma Yang, he did not invest in this project because of his keen sense of smell, but just on a whim...
Forget it, just smoothing out this relationship is enough to make people happy. I have a headache, and it’s probably because I can’t explain it.
Pei Qian could only nodded silently, agreed with what He An said, and took the opportunity to ask questions and change the topic.
“Then Teacher He. , according to this theory, does it mean that if you choose a declining game type, you are almost destined to fail? "
He An thought for a while: "There are no absolutes in this 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 number of players can support a game project well. "
"But...the theory you mentioned is not problematic in itself. ”
“The more the game type is declining, the smaller the player base that likes this game is. If the investment in the game itself happens to be very 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 his eyes lit up.
Very good, the strange ideas for losing money have increased!
Pei Qian asked: " Teacher He, suppose that I want to spend a huge amount of money to make a real-time strategy game at this point in time... What will happen? "
He An smiled slightly: "Then you might as well give me the money, at least I will say thank you. Or it’s not a bad idea to use the money to squander it, at least you can still get some sound. ”
A smile appeared on Pei Qian’s face.
Who said this course is useless?
Isn’t this the game to be developed in the next cycle? Do you have a clue?
Teacher He, you are really my guiding light!
