"Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage, two first-line movie stars, have joined forces to conquer Cannes? The scene is extremely hot, and a ticket is hard to find."

"The judges of the jury have expressed their opinions and supported "Bad Guy."

"..."

These reports spread back to the United States, which naturally caused quite a stir.

Although Hollywood has always rested on its laurels and does not buy the so-called three major international film festivals, it is mainly because the three major film festivals do not focus on American films. There are few participations, and the domestic attention is certainly not high.

But if a certain film can achieve some results in Cannes, the Hollywood industry also recognizes the style of the three major film festivals. With the active promotion and strong network of Paramount Pictures, these are indeed happening during the Cannes screening. News dialogues were also reprinted one by one in the United States.

Thanks to the two first-line movie stars, they are not lacking in news value. Once they are operated, they have become the headlines of the entertainment pages of major news media, allowing "Bad Guy" to complete a wave of eye-catching publicity very well. Continue Aroused the curiosity of many senior movie fans about this film and the motivation to watch the movie——

"Lyman Rutters, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, any of these three names appearing in a certain movie can make me willingly contribute a movie ticket."

In the movie discussion section of IMDB, a netizen named Atlanta Birds wrote excitedly, "Not to mention that the three of them are now together. Oh, my goodness, I really want to watch it. , It's a pity that I didn't have the money for the plane ticket to Cannes."

"Upstairs, I have been looking forward to it just by watching the trailer. The type of film is a crime thriller. I don’t want to be too interested in watching movies. Now after watching some news reports at the Cannes Film Festival, Expectations are higher, is there any. But I have to admit that at the beginning I rejected the appearance of Tom Cruise. I have never understood a movie that is not so handsome. Is he still him? Now, It seems that this movie is going to hit me in the face."

"I don’t know if I slap my face or not, but I’m surprised that Tom Cruise will play such a tragic role. The performance has also been affirmed by film critics. In the past, didn’t those people always like to mock soup? It's the man's vase, or the biggest and most expensive one. Haha, how come it feels so funny."

"Funny plus one, film critics are like a group of fools and Muggles who have never had sex, but want to guide others."

"Weird metaphor, perfect perspective, you are the beautiful hair of God's old man?"

In the discussion thread titled "Bad Guys" at the Cannes screening, are you looking forward to it more? Several senior fans who have been on the IMDB forum enthusiastically responded to the post. These people have no fan mentality at all. It looks at the upcoming release of "Bad Guy" from the perspective of film performance and performance.

For them, the first choice for watching movies is word-of-mouth, and some of the original film reviews posted by fans from the Cannes scene are reposted in the forum, which is enough for them to think freely.

"I think Tom Cruise's performance has been improving. In the trailer, he smokes a cigarette and overlooks the building. It's really eye-catching. Compared with the previous green acting in "Interview with the Vampire", He has undoubtedly changed a lot now. And I always think that the soup is actually quite talented. However, he has been playing the role of a fool, selling a face or showing his body. The limitations are too great. Now he has finally opened up his mind and has a potential to be stimulated. It’s really happy.” A netizen named the Lakers champion posted.

"I don't care about this, I just want to ask, does anyone know that "Bad Guy" will have a premiere? I'm going to grab tickets."

"I also want to ask, then I can go to the scene to see the main creators."

"No, I have a friend who works at Paramount. According to him, the company's CEO, Shirley Lansing, decided to release it directly. The latest version of the trailer says it will be released nationwide on May 27."

"Upstairs, it won't be a friend out of nothing."

"I don't have one. Wait a week and you will know that what I said is true or false. It has already premiered in Cannes, and the reputation of the film has already started. There is no need to do this again, you know."

Just as the netizens of the IMDB film forum were discussing the release of "Bad Guy", Tom Cruise's fan forum caused even greater momentum.

Liangtang’s new work, do you still think about it? Most fans are supportive voices.

There are even fan heads who start to organize whether to directly package a few theaters.The power of true love fans is powerful. After that, they really consider watching the crowdsourcing hall on the day of the show. It doesn't matter if the crowd is not full, it's just an extra contribution to the box office.With such courage and action, a certain deer fan group can learn.

As for those fans who don't use the Internet very much, many have learned about such a movie coming soon through TV stations or press release columns, and of course the ones they love are also preparing to watch it in their hearts.

However, no matter how fierce and curious the reaction of fans or film fans is, the film is now being screened in Cannes, and the voice of the critics and judges is obviously more important.

For insiders, professionals know what good works are produced globally every year.

What's more, according to the planned plan, "Bad Guy" was originally going to win awards for the purpose of getting better publicity.

It is even more important to say hello to these people.

Some film critics who have never watched a movie listened to the praise from their peers, and their hearts were a little itchy.

The so-called circle is like this.

"Mr. Luc Besson, do you still have the ticket? Give me one."

"George, how about you hold an internal screening?"

The calls from all kinds of people kept the public relations team of "Bad Guy" busy, and fully demonstrated the spread of the movie's reputation and the level of attention it aroused.

Under such circumstances, on May 21, the third day of "Bad Guy" in Cannes, the organizing committee announced the final award nominations for all films in the main competition unit this year.

"Bad Guy" has become the number one seed player because of its geographical location and people-a total of five Cannes Film Festival nominations.

They are: Palme d'Or, Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay Award.

Suddenly, the limelight was immense.

......

"Just received the news." On the phone, George's voice was a little pleased. "A "Bad Guy" screening in the afternoon directly attracted more than 4,000 spectators. The last two theaters were screened together, and there were hundreds of people left. The audience did not enter the venue. The organizing committee recommended that we continue to increase the screening. Also, after preliminary communication with the jury, we have a high probability of getting a few votes. At least we should be able to grab the jury award."

"Are there still so many people?" Lyman was a little surprised.

"Well, there are a lot of fans from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Word of mouth has been released. Many people want to see it."

Rich people, no one can watch movies on flights.

"What do you mean?" Lyman asked next.

"My idea is to continue to increase the scale of the screening. In this regard, we will not suffer, and we do not have to worry about the release of the film's publicity potential. Compared with those, the better the screening, the better our publicity. "

Lehman also understands this. It is estimated that if the number of screenings is increased, a bunch of soft articles will appear in the newspapers of both places.

For the "Bad Guy" release hot spot, nothing more than conventional means.

After all, in a few days, as soon as the Cannes Film Festival is over, it will be released simultaneously in two places, and there will not be so much effort in digging and publicizing. If you can do more in the early stage, do more.

"You figure it out," Lehman replied.

"Then there is a cocktail party tonight, do you want to attend?"

"No, I want to rest."

Hanging up, Lehman stretched out leisurely.

Staying in Cannes gave him a sense of indulgence like a dragon returning to the sea.

In just over two years, he found that he had already liked the town a little.

This is probably the so-called local sentiment.

People or things can make people feel comfortable from the spirit to the body.

The houses are not high, mainly two or three floors. Pastry houses and cafes are the mainstream here. The large trees on both sides of the street extend high and sprinkle a piece of green shade, so there is no dense high-rise buildings like in ordinary big cities. The sense of support and pressure.

And with the momentum of "Bad Guy" at the film festival, Lehmann is becoming more and more well-known in this area of ​​Cannes.

Especially the locals, even if he doesn't show up often, everyone knows what he looks like.

Sometimes when walking on the street, I can still meet French girls asking for his signature or something, going out for a meal, and sometimes people will greet him, and the boss is willing to give him some discounts.

These all made him very at ease, with a sense of pleasure of being satisfied with his vanity.

People are group animals, so I honestly don't deceive me.

Therefore, the sense of identity in the group is also what people like to pursue.

And when the movie was released, Lehman also felt a lot easier.As long as you put off some unnecessary entertainment, in addition to writing the outline of the new script every day, that is, staying with Eva Green, and the days are quite leisurely.

The so-called life is probably the best.
