Although the aura of Cannes is certainly not as good as the Oscars, the influence is objective.
Otherwise, there won't be so many Hollywood movies going to Cannes to do publicity.
In any case, Palme d’Or always has its influence, and getting the Palme d’Or in Cannes also made those fans look forward to it a little bit more, especially for fans outside of North America.
Just after the Cannes Film Festival closed, Wang Yifan rushed back to North America with the members of the creative team, and the global release was just around the corner.
In fact, the Cannes trip of "Mad Max Fury Road" was largely due to promotion in Europe, but in fact, the effect was quite good.
In particular, some North American audiences who watched the movie became enthusiastic fans of the movie almost immediately.
Crazy on the North American social platform, crazy to friend Amway.
And "Mad Max Fury Road" has also been reported by the media in series before, plus the two Hollywood giants, Mina Group and Matsumoto Universal, so propaganda is naturally spared.
It started building momentum in North America early, and the film won the Palme d'Or and Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival, which pushed this momentum to a whole new level.
For this reason, when the North American premiere of "Mad Max Fury Road" was held at the Chinese National Theater in Hollywood, there was almost a crowd of people outside the Chinese National Theater in Hollywood!
Previously, North American media and fans who saw the film in advance could not wait to use all kinds of words of praise on this film, similar to "universe word-of-mouth movies," "great movies," and "unprecedented madness".
Standing on the periphery of the red carpet of the Chinese National Theater in Hollywood, Peter Peck did not plan to stay anymore after seeing Wang Yifan quickly passing the red carpet. He was about to enter the theater to watch the movie. He waited too long for this movie!
Peter Peck, one of the most powerful film critics who opposed Wang Yifan, a Chinese director who adapted the Pearl sinking incident, has long been eager to watch this movie that was almost blown to the sky by many people. What did it look like?
Peter Peck is a relatively radical member of the North American film critic circle. He has always been known for his sharp rhetoric. Although he is still very young, at least compared to many established film critics, Peter Peck is really young. He was only this year. Thirty-eight years old!
Peter Peck is an alternative film critic. He emerged from the prosperity of the Internet and has many fans on the Internet. His film reviews can usually affect groups of people who are not low.
The biggest difference between Peter Peck and other film critics is that this guy is not bad for money, so it is difficult to be publicized. He himself is a rich man, worth over 100 million.
However, Peter Peck is obsessed with movies.
Perhaps it is precisely because he himself is not short of money, it is difficult to be publicized, so his remarks are often easier to win people's trust.
For this reason, he can become an influential film critic today when the influence of film critics is declining.
It is naturally not difficult for Peter Peke to get tickets for the premiere.
After all, he is also considered famous!
However, Peter Peck is not here to cheer, he looks at the movie more critically.
After a few steps, he saw the poster in front of the Hollywood Chinese Theater, because the poster was so eye-catching.
On the movie poster, the bold font of Dahuangsha asked-are you crazy enough?
Peter Pecker curled his lips in disdain: "This King Hua himself is really crazy!"
Peter Peck is a standard North American. He has always been prejudiced against directors outside North America, probably because, in recent years, Hollywood has indeed been the number one film in the world!
Few other foreign film directors can get any good results here.
Therefore, Peter Peck is not so cold about Wang Yifan, a Chinese director who is known as Asia's number one director and the light of Asia.
This is why he strongly opposed Wang Yifan's adaptation of the Jenny shipwreck.
"I think the king from China is not crazy, but has enough passion and vitality to make such a cool movie." At this time, a person who heard Peter Pecker's words couldn't help refuting.
Peter Pecker frowned and looked at the speaker. Unfortunately, he didn't know each other.
But the other party seems to know himself.
"I know you, Peter Peck! I used to like your film reviews very much, but now... Maybe I want to take back this view, or maybe you are no different from other film critics!" this person said.
"Who are you?" Peter Pecker asked, frowning.
"My name is Irving! Irving Jonas!" said Irving Jonas.
Peter Pecker frowned, and he recognized who this man was.
"Are you the Owen Jonas who touted "Mad Max Fury Road" on the Internet?" Peter Pecker asked.
Owen nodded and said, "No, it's not flattery, but the truth of what I have seen. I have watched this movie three times! Today is the fourth time! So, I am qualified to tell others about my experience of watching the movie. People, and you, Mr. Peter, you have not seen this movie, so you are not qualified to judge, maybe after you watch the movie, your mind will be changed!"
"I hope so!" Peter Peck was not annoyed, but nodded thoughtfully.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Bypassing the crowded front door, walked towards the side door open for fans.
Peter Peck couldn't help but glanced at the crazy media and crazy fans, and couldn't help but ask: "Now that the media is so hot, and I got Palme d’Or, I don’t remember any movie directed by a Chinese director. With this kind of treatment, isn't it the credit of capital propaganda and hype? Don't you think it's a bit too late?"
Owen Jonas said as he walked, "I went to Cannes to see this movie, you know!"
"I think the treatment given is not enough. Please, Mr. Peter, don't look at the problem with the old eyes. Wang is a Chinese, but is this the problem? First of all, we should speak in the movie instead of seeing him first. What nationality! I think this is the attitude that Peter Peck should have in my impression!" said Owen Jonas.
Peter Pecker nodded noncommittal.
Enter the theater. The two found a suitable seat. After sitting down, Owen Jonas said to Peter Peck, "This is a commercial film by no means simple. In an era when the audience is gradually paralyzed, this film can inspire blood. Zhang, if you haven't watched it yet..."
He pointed to the big screen, "Don't hesitate, and witness it with your own eyes."
