Chapter 642

Shock, sorrow, regret, surprise.

At this moment, the audience was filled with mixed feelings.

Originally thinking that after surviving so many disasters, experiencing so many things, they stood on the opera stage to perform again.

At this point, the story could have ended; it wasn't perfect, but at least everyone could accept it.

However, I didn't expect Cheng Dieyi to choose to commit suicide, acting as a real Concubine Yu for once.

Or perhaps the audience had already guessed this ending, but still held expectations in their hearts.

But Luo Quan ultimately broke the promise she made herself, offering such an ending.

She once said: She doesn't like tragic endings, and hates making the protagonist experience unnecessary setbacks for the sake of tragedy.

And this "Farewell My Concubine" is a tragedy through and through.

But I have to say, this tragedy is indeed wonderful and truly unforgettable.

This can be seen from the tears flashing in the eyes of many viewers in the cinema.

And what makes everyone feel most tearful is Cheng Dieyi.

And what makes everyone feel most admirable is also Cheng Dieyi.

The master told him when he was a child that a person must fulfill themselves.

This life philosophy also ran through his whole life, and in the end, he even practiced it with his life.

"Woooooo~~"

Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu, holding tissues in their hands, were already crying like rain.

Although they both knew what the ending of the movie was, after truly finishing it, they still couldn't help but want to cry out loud.

There is a saying: Tragedy is smashing beautiful things for people to see.

In Cheng Dieyi, this was perfectly embodied.

In fact, from the moment Juxian hanged herself, they couldn't help it anymore; until Cheng Dieyi committed suicide, they finally couldn't hold back and cried out.

Girls are all emotional, and after empathizing with the characters, their emotions always become more agitated.

Luo Quan just watched them and didn't persuade them; it would be fine after this wave.

She herself didn't have much emotional fluctuation; after all, from filming to editing, she had already watched it N times.

Plus the original version from her previous life, she was too familiar with it.

No matter how moving the plot is, there is a threshold, and Luo Quan has already passed this value.

After crying for a few minutes, Seeing Wen Xia and Su Yu's emotions calmed down a bit, and everyone picked up the tissues and the remaining food bags and left the cinema.

The two sisters calmed down, but the entire internet became agitated because of "Farewell My Concubine."

Everyone who finished watching the movie seemed to have countless words they wanted to say in their hearts.

In reality, they didn't know who to confide in for a while, so they posted it all online.

"Farewell My Concubine is amazing!"

Related topics quickly rushed to the top of the hot search, and for the first time, a scene where viewers and film critics praised it together appeared in the comment section.

"Why must Dieyi die? He is really too pitiful; can't you give him a good ending?"

"If it were a good ending, it couldn't be called Farewell My Concubine."

"Indeed, this play is a tragedy itself, just like Dieyi's own life."

"This is the tragedy of that era."

"The movie is very long, but there are no boring parts; it's ups and downs, conflicts are linked one after another; it feels more satisfying than watching special effects blockbusters!"

"I announce that this is the best of this year's Spring Festival, and I don't accept refutation."

Compared to the relatively short words on Weibo, everyone on Zhihu prefers long-winded discussions.

However, the central idea hasn't changed much; it's all about praising Luo Quan.

"How to evaluate the movie 'Farewell My Concubine'?"

The high-voted answer is directly a rainbow of praise:

"This is the most wonderful movie in the last twenty years; from the visuals, plot to acting, it is completely impeccable.

This is a great tragedy, and it also shows the style of the last century.

It didn't smear any place, nor did it beautify any place; it was presented almost in a white-sketch technique.

Of course, this is a movie after all, not a documentary, so many details were not fully reflected, but this can't even be called a flaw.

Because it only talks about a few characters, their love and hatred in that era background; there is no need to experience any national sentiment main melody.

In the places where it should be done, "Farewell My Concubine" achieved perfection.

Or rather, Luo Quan achieved perfection, just like her beauty.

Yes, after going around in such a big circle, what I want to praise is actually Luo Quan.

I can only say that she is worthy of being a genius; to be able to film such a stunning work, among the new generation of Chinese directors, just by virtue of this "Farewell My Concubine," she is already the leader.

And she has two more movies to film on hand; it is said that each script is no worse than "Farewell My Concubine," and it is really hard to imagine what kind of masterpieces they will be.

Perhaps, the Chinese film industry will really rise in her hands?"

With so much sycophantic flattery, plus the attitude of worshiping Luo Quan.

Everyone who finished reading the answer turned back to look at the name of the answerer.

Sure enough, it was still that old loyal fan "Listening to the Wind."

In Zhihu, he is a famous Luo Quan fan, and also a die-hard old fan of Luo Quan; he started praising her on Zhihu very early.

With such a big battle this time, naturally he couldn't be missing, and the answer he gave also made everyone quite satisfied, commenting one after another: Worthy of you.

However, although Listening to the Wind used so much sycophantic language.

But no one felt that this was praising Luo Quan to death, because the quality of the movie is there, and no amount of praise is excessive.

In the past, for this kind of tragic literary film, viewers and film critics would inevitably have disagreements.

Most viewers prefer fast-paced blockbusters, while film critics pay more attention to humanities and plot things.

Therefore, on this type of movie, the two groups of people often cannot reach a consensus.

Just like "The Wandering Earth" that was popular throughout the Spring Festival a few days ago, viewers praised it in various ways, but film critics felt it was average; compared with those classic sci-fi films from the beginning of the century in Hollywood, it seemed there was nothing worth praising.

This is the point of disagreement.

However, "Farewell My Concubine" achieved the unification of everyone's opinions; the whole internet is praising it, whether they are engaged in film professionals or outside the profession.

This shows that "Farewell My Concubine" is really too excellent.

But thinking about it, if "Farewell My Concubine" wasn't excellent, how could many restricted plots in the movie pass censorship?

Although the related prefix on Weibo hot search is already exploding, it is midnight after all, and it is still a bit lacking.

The time when public opinion truly exploded was noon the next day.

After all media carefully wrote reports, they all sent them out in a short time.

From every component of the movie, they praised it from top to bottom.

Not only director Luo Quan, but also starring Zhao Xilin, Jiang Wen, He You, Seeing Wen Xia, everyone received huge praise.

This movie, under the bonus of the Spring Festival file, together with "The Wandering Earth," became a phenomenal work.

"The Wandering Earth" represents the rise of Chinese special effects blockbusters, proving the soft power of the Chinese film industry.

And "Farewell My Concubine" represents the soft power of Chinese films.

It is said that Japanese films are the best in Asia, full of humanities and national feelings.

Luo Quan used "Farewell My Concubine" to tell the world that we are not bad either.

And this is not a rise like "The Wandering Earth," but more like a revival.

Because, decades ago, we also had a large number of excellent films, and the three major film festivals also won many awards.

The ancestors were indeed wealthy, and Luo Quan is now a pioneer of "making Chinese films great again."

One film becoming a god is probably Luo Quan's image in the eyes of domestic media.

At next year's film festival, "Farewell My Concubine" will definitely be able to gain something, even those heavyweight awards are not impossible to look forward to.

As for the most famous Oscar, the gold content of that award is definitely there, and its status in the eyes of the public is also very high.

However, it has never been very welcoming to foreign movies, especially movies from China.

There is a lot of political consideration in it.

It was a little better before, but in the last ten years, it has long lost the purity of the past, and it is full of political correctness.

Last year's "Green Book" is the best proof.

This year, there is also a politically correct movie to participate in the Oscars, called "Get Out."

That plot is simply more blunt than "Green Book," which can be considered as putting discrimination, anti-discrimination, and political correctness on the table.

Foreign betting sites have already opened, and it looks like "Get Out" will definitely win an award at the Oscars this time, and it will probably be a relatively heavyweight award.

It is unknown what exactly it is.

Everyone is worried that the tragedy of "The Lord of the Rings" will repeat itself on "Titanic."

Last year "The Lord of the Rings" was so invincible, and all aspects were explosive; it was originally scheduled for the Oscar for Best Picture.

Who knew that "Green Book" would come out halfway, and in the end, it really won the award.

At that time, the cameraman gave Director Ford a close-up in a very strange way.

Out of politeness, Director Ford still applauded to express his congratulations, quite gentlemanly.

But that expression had already shown everything he wanted to say in his heart on his face.

But it is also normal; the big award that was in hand was given away in such a way in the end; if someone with a worse temper changed, I am afraid they would have the heart to beat someone up.

Director Ford didn't scold his mother directly, which is already very cultivated.

After tasting the sweetness in this type of movie, a lot of follow-up works emerged one after another.

"Get Out" is the best one among them.

But it can only be considered as picking a general among the short; as a thriller, anyway, the audience really didn't feel any thrill.

The plot is okay, with reversals and foreshadowing, belonging to a work above the passing line.

In normal times, it can also earn a lot of box office.

Unfortunately, when it was released, it happened to hit "Frozen," and North America was all watching Queen Elsa and Princess Anna; the story of Get Out didn't seem to be cared about by many people.

Until the director of "Get Out" announced that he would participate in this year's Oscar selection, and successfully entered the candidate list.

When the news came out, the film industry was not just in an uproar, but it also caused quite a lot of controversy.

Many people also said that if this movie dares to win this year's Oscar, then this award doesn't need to be watched in the future; it's meaningless!

The words are rough but the reason is not rough; the current public opinion is basically this trend.

Therefore, under the situation of the Oscars continuing to seek death, the three major film festivals that have always adhered to the bottom line have also become better and better in gold content and fame.

Although the Cannes red carpet can be walked if you pay money, it is at most just giving celebrities a chance to be exposed.

The highlight is actually the award-giving session, and this session, currently, can be considered as not having any major controversy.

After the release of "Farewell My Concubine," domestic media began to build momentum.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a work that is absolutely qualified to compete for major film awards.

Building momentum early now can also attract the attention of foreign media.

However, one thing to say, like the Cannes Film Festival, there is actually a bit of human sentiment in it.

The directors of the winning films usually have many acquaintances on the selection committee.

And this year, if you win an award, and enter the committee next year, if the films shot by these old acquaintances participate in the selection, you will give some emotional points.

Then, the cycle begins.

However, as everyone knows, Luo Quan is famous for being autistic in every circle.

Since her debut, whether it is music, variety shows, or movies, countless people want to cooperate with her, but none have succeeded.

Many people also want to make friends with her on and off the stage, but the response they get is just a gentleman's friendship, as plain as water.

The only people she is willing to cooperate with are basically relatives and friends, or artists from her own company, belonging to the typical "fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields."

I have to say, in terms of social interpersonal relationships, it really deserves to be the only place where Luo Quan hasn't handled it particularly well.

But no celebrity has publicly complained; after all, Luo Quan is unwilling to cooperate with them, but she has never troubled them either.

Someone on Weibo made such an evaluation:

"She is like a white lotus standing alone in the world, standing noble above a pool of mud, beautiful and conspicuous.

Usually, she is infinitely beautiful, but when encountering wind and waves, no mud can protect her."

Now, the wind and waves have come, but it's not to say that this "wind and wave" will cause any harm to her career.

If handled well, her status can go up another level.

But if handled poorly, the damage caused would be hard for people to accept.

Now the media has helped Luo Quan build momentum, and listed many directors who have won the three major film festivals in China, which is quite meant to introduce Luo Quan.

This is actually giving her a step, as for whether to go up or down, it depends on how Luo Quan chooses.

In fact, as a junior in the film circle, it is not unreasonable to be more diligent and take the initiative to say hello.

Now the whole internet is also waiting for Luo Quan's next move, to see if she really cares about the awards of the three major film festivals.

"Are you planning to do anything?"

At home, Seeing Wen Xia asked Luo Quan.

After watching the rhythm on the internet, she felt that Luo Quan should show some indication now.

"Just bones in a grave, nothing worth paying attention to." Luo Quan blurted out without thinking.
