Chapter 296 The Master of Movies
There are still many good films at the Cannes Film Festival, and not all of them are obscure independent films.

"Good Boys" was very enjoyable to watch.

Park Chan-wook’s previous work “Revenge, My Son” is also worth watching.

This guy is obsessed with revenge. After the movie screening, he said he would make another movie about revenge.

"The Heart" premiered on the 18th, and a lot of film reviews and media reports came out the next morning.

Media reports tend to report objective facts, telling who participated in the premiere, the audience's reactions at the premiere, and the interaction between the creators and everyone after the screening.

The film emphasized the director Hao Yun's understanding of film, which amazed filmmakers.

Film critics are even more subjective and emotional.

Thierry Frémaux is a French film critic and founder of the Musée Lumière. He has been artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival since 2001 and a member of the selection committee.

His film review, titled "A New Star Shines, a Film That Allows People to Look at Fate from a God's Perspective," was published in the film festival's program magazine, Screen.

As the name suggests, Thierry Frémaux gave a very positive review of the film.

However, this film review of his is quite different from his previous style.

Thierry Frémaux rarely talks nonsense and is often admired by fans for his pungent and to-the-point words.

But this article starts by talking about how he met this young director.

It was the first day of the festival, at a reception, and Thierry Fremaux was on his way back from using the restroom when he met this young man.

Hao Yun speaks French, but not very fluently.

Thierry Fremaux actually knows how to speak English. There are very few people who don't speak English in such occasions. He also couldn't understand why Hao Yun had to speak French.

Hao Yun greeted him and started chatting.

Thierry Frémaux humorously said that he guessed the young man must not know who he was because the question he asked was about the director.

Although Thierry Frémaux has been a director, no one would certainly consider him a director.

Hao Yun didn't know Thierry Fremaux, but Thierry Fremaux knew him.

While selecting films for the Cannes Film Festival, Thierry Frémaux was particularly impressed by "Labyrinth of the Heart".

He commented on this film in his film review article:

"The director's first feature film uses extremely high narrative skills to tell a fascinating story."

"A masterpiece made with half a million dollars."

"The director is smart and down-to-earth, and his talent cannot be hidden in such a rough film."

Overseas entertainment media have published many similar comments.

A review article in Neon's "Film Weekly" said, "This is a movie like "Rashomon", but the young director Hao Yun is obviously more influenced by Nolan, Quentin and others. He re-examines an originally simple matter through different perspectives of each person, breaking the limitations of time and space, and finally presents a thought-provoking truth."

Even The Hollywood Reporter, one of the two major newspapers in the entertainment industry, had a small report on the film, saying that the film reveals "the most authentic human nature and the most profound sadness" and reflects "the true situation of rural China."

No one said that "The Heart Labyrinth" is too complicated to understand.

Because for a film critic, it is a shame not to understand what it is.

The domestic media praised it even more openly.

Many people blindly worship foreign countries. If foreigners say something is good, then it must be very good.

Being able to amaze foreigners is a way to bring glory to our country.

Therefore, when these film reviews were translated back to China, Hao Yun's "Maze of the Heart" became a hot topic for the audience.

Domestic film critics also publish film reviews on major platforms and newspapers and magazines.

For example, a film review published in "Popular Movies" was written by the well-known domestic film critic Yao Weihong, who used the title "The coffin that cannot be buried, the original sin that cannot be burned."

The opening line is "The Labyrinth of the Heart is the biggest surprise of domestic films in 2004. I want to give it the crown of the light of domestic films in 2004". Film critic Yao Weihong believes that "The Labyrinth of the Heart is an ambitious film and a very skillful work. The dark tone, exquisite script, fancy narrative and playful tone accurately show the psychological ecology of the characters in the most basic autonomous unit in China."

This film was his "surprise at Cannes in 2004". Although it still had many shortcomings, he saw "the aura of a film master" in Hao Yun, the screenwriter and director.

The film reviews of "Daoye", a wild film critic who often appears in major online forums, chat rooms, blogs, and bulletin boards, answer the most curious questions of domestic film critics.

He said, "Non-linear narrative structures are not uncommon, but not many people in China are good at them. As a debut black film that uses this complex narrative structure, "Labyrinth of the Heart" is really a pleasant surprise."

Dao Ye described what he saw and heard in the screening room on the day of the premiere.

He highly praised Hao Yun's performance after the screening and was surprised that he could chat with various film greats.

The screening ended at one o'clock and lasted until after two o'clock.

Although there were times when he was speechless and questions touched upon areas of knowledge gaps, he was able to talk about most topics and had very unique insights.

Therefore, there is no way he could be a puppet in the completion of this film.

Daoye also watched the premiere of "2046".

The effect was much worse than that of "Maze of the Heart". After the screening, Wang Jiawei's on-site interaction was also rather cold.

The pace of "2046" is too slow and the story it tells is too decadent. It doesn't give people any enlightenment after watching it.

Lao Wang forcibly continued his previous works, resulting in too many characters.

The film is star-studded, the material is bloated, the structure is too fragmented, and the awkward editing choices directly lead to a disordered rhythm in the film.

Moreover, there are too many explanatory narrations, which is far inferior to "The Heart Labyrinth" where every frame is just right.

This exposes Lao Wang's inadequacy in using film language to realize his ambitions. Character relationships and event developments are mostly told through narration, with the images merely serving as illustrations for the text.

Although it cannot be said that Hao Yun’s films are better than Wang Jiawei’s.

But the movie "The Heart" is more "sincere" than "2046".

Yes, it’s the word sincerity.

The emerging director Hao Yun makes movies with a sincere attitude, instead of the arrogance that is difficult to conceal for a truly international director like Wang Jiawei.

Dao Ye posted this commentary article on many platforms, attracting considerable attention.

There are many comments from netizens below.

Ling Ao Yu Ling: Our village just got internet access. I'd like to ask, is this Hao Yun the Hao Yun we know? Is it the Hao Yun who played Yun Zhonghe? It's so magical that Yun Zhonghe actually directed a movie and went to the Cannes Film Festival.

Dong Daohai: This is called the silver thief's counterattack. After some hard work, Yun Zhonghe is finally worthy of Wang Yuyan.

Running around and strolling around: When I first learned that Hao Yun’s new film had a non-linear narrative structure, I thought he was too arrogant. It was like walking on a tightrope at the beginning of filming, and it was easy for him to fail. I didn’t expect that he actually succeeded.

Generous Wind Chime: I really can’t imagine how a new film was shortlisted for Cannes. Anyway, I don’t believe that this was made by Hao Yun himself.

Wild and Angry: I don’t know if I can understand this movie with my IQ.

Qingshan Luoye: I am looking forward to the release of "The Labyrinth of Heart". I heard it will be in September. Why has it been delayed so long?

Lightning Strike is Easy: I heard that many of the actors are Hao Yun’s classmates. I would like to call it the most awesome graduation work.

Sun Dreamer: Hao Yun should be considered a first-tier star now. He became a first-tier star three years after his debut. He is indeed a quick shooter.

The strong wind reveals the strong grass: You only see his bright side, but ignore his efforts in the process. From the first time I saw him playing the guitar in front of the school gate in the middle of winter, and then tremblingly took out his wrong answer book to ask for help, I knew he would succeed.

Ryoupin: Damn, as far as I know, Hao Yun has only talked about guitar at the entrance of Peking University and Shuimu University. It turns out that you who live upstairs are a top student.

The strong wind reveals the strong grass: You are wrong, I am Lao Qin from the main building of Peking University.

The word of mouth was very good, which made Hao Yun very much looking forward to how much the overseas copyright of this movie could sell for.
