Scrolling through the various forums, especially the main battlefield of fans and haters, one could say that corpses were everywhere.
What's more, these 'corpses' did not come from the intense battle that had just taken place. Instead, they were dug out from the 'graveyard'.
"I heard that this movie is not liked by locals or foreigners? I understand now. Cannes was not organized by foreigners. "
"Cannes has been expelled from foreign countries by haters. I suggest that the country accept the homeless Cannes, move it to Jingzhou, and change its name to Tengda Film Festival."
"Tengda Film Festival? Are you hinting that Tengda is rich enough to bribe the judges? Congratulations on finding out the truth! (dog-headed emoji) "
"This movie did become popular because of marketing. If the foreign box office is not good, it won an award at Cannes. That's the marketing! (dog-headed emoji) "
"From the looks of it, Tomorrow is Beautiful has indeed occupied a good slot. If it had been in a better slot, it would probably have stolen the pants of the other popular movies."
"The big-budget movies that did not clash with Tomorrow is Beautiful should be celebrating in the living room now, right? The more they think about it, the more scared they are. "
"Can you tell that joke again? Which one? The one about foreign blockbusters. 'Flying Star Journey! The real foreign blockbuster is here! 'Hahahaha! "
"I heard that foreign audiences do not buy it. Today, foreign cinemas not only extended the release date of Tomorrow is Beautiful, but they also increased the number of screenings. Once again, I solemnly inform all foreigners: watching this movie carries the risk of being expelled from your country. Please watch it carefully! "

Similar comments could be seen everywhere on various forums. The previous comments and posts of the haters were dug out and repeatedly beaten up.
Many haters were beaten up so badly that they either deleted their comments or closed them. Most of them could only pretend to be dead.
There was no other way. The results were the best slap in the face!
Previously, the haters had been making a fuss about Tomorrow is Beautiful's poor overseas box office. It was almost certain that only the locals liked the movie and not the foreigners.
In the end, the award at Cannes was too important. It had the effect of turning the situation around. All the previous comments fell apart on their own!
Pei Qian leaned back in his chair, speechless.
It wasn't that he wanted to see these things, but he really had to!
Discussions were everywhere on the internet. Even if one wanted to go to Weibo to look at a girl, one could find related content. It was practically a 360-degree infiltration without any blind spots. The "corpses" of the haters were hung everywhere, and their corpses were repeatedly whipped. Anyone who heard about it would feel sad, and anyone who saw it would cry.
Pei Qian silently mourned for these brave warriors.
"We've let you guys suffer! The next movie will definitely clear your name! Please believe me one more time! "
Pei Qian browsed through some popular discussion threads. Tomorrow is Beautiful should be over, right?
This popularity lasted too long!
He did not expect a movie to have such a strong aftereffect. Ever since it was released in February, its popularity on the Internet had not stopped.
The worst thing was that the overwhelming popularity of Tomorrow is Beautiful on Aili Island would increase the number of people who bought and watched Tomorrow is Beautiful on Aili Island.
Pei Qian was very puzzled. Why was there a new audience at this time?
This reminded him of a famous joke. Who hasn't bought GTA5 yet?
Fortunately, the nightmare was finally over.
He had already experienced all the nightmares and won an award at the International Film Festival. It should be time to stop, right?
Everyone had found all the awkward bragging angles. Was it time to put the coffin on the movie and let it rest in peace?
Pei Qian decided not to pay attention to this matter anymore and let its popularity slowly die down.
However, just as he was about to close the webpage, Pei Qian accidentally saw a post.
"Why did Tomorrow is Beautiful win the Jury Prize?"
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. Ai, another post with awkward bragging angles.
He had seen too many such posts.
When Tomorrow is Beautiful successfully won the Jury Prize, various media outlets had already posted many similar posts. It was nothing more than to explain the importance of the Cannes Film Festival and the Jury Prize, talk about the last time a domestic movie won this award, and finally analyze why Tomorrow is Beautiful could meet the taste of the Cannes Jury and successfully win this award. At the same time, they would mention the spiritual connotation and artistry of the film.
Pei Qian had read many such drafts and was not very interested.
However, seeing that the popularity of this post was unexpectedly high, Pei Qian hesitated for a moment and then clicked on it.
However, Pei Qian felt like fainting the moment he read the first sentence.
…
"Do you think that I have to talk about why Tomorrow is Beautiful won the award after seeing this title?
"Wrong!
"What I want to ask is why Tomorrow is Beautiful won the Jury Prize and not the Palme d 'Or?
"Everyone knows that the Cannes Film Festival awarded the Jury Prize to Tomorrow is Beautiful and awarded the Palme d 'Or to Journey of the Soul, a Southeast Asian film.
"Many people are overjoyed because Tomorrow is Beautiful won the Jury Prize. They don't seem to have thought about why Tomorrow is Beautiful didn't win the Palme d 'Or.
"In fact, if you compare them, you'll realize that Tomorrow is Beautiful and Journey of the Soul have many similarities."
"Journey of the Soul tells the story of a poor farmer who saw the souls of his deceased family after suffering from a terminal illness. Then, he followed the souls to find his previous life. The film used non-professional actors, and most of the dialogue between the characters was improvised. The scenes were rarely edited, and most of them were long shots.
"Journey of the Soul shows an exotic style and some supernatural elements, which seems to be more in line with the artistic taste of the Cannes jury. However, I have to say that compared to Tomorrow is Beautiful, this film does not have a clear advantage in terms of artistry and connotation.
"On the contrary, Tomorrow is Beautiful talks about the gap between the rich and the poor, the alienating effect of money on people, the manipulation of technology by capital to control people's lives, and the worry of humans becoming data. Compared to 'souls', it obviously resonates more widely and has a deeper connotation.
"Many people in the country do not understand Cannes, and they instinctively think that domestic films will not be in line with the jury's taste. Therefore, it is normal that they did not win the Palme d 'Or. This is definitely a misunderstanding!
"In my opinion, the jury should be more optimistic about Tomorrow is Beautiful than Journey of the Soul. According to rumors, the Palme d 'Or was finally decided after three rounds of voting.
"Obviously, the award ceremony, which seems to have been settled, actually has many twists and turns in places that we can't see."
"Considering that Tomorrow is Beautiful has already won the Jury Prize, which is the actual second place in the main competition, Tomorrow is Beautiful will definitely have a place in the three rounds of voting.
"That's why I asked the first question. Why did Tomorrow is Beautiful not win the Palme d 'Or?
"If you agree with the above conditions, please continue reading.
"In my opinion, there are two reasons why Tomorrow is Beautiful lost to Journey of the Soul by a hair's breadth in the final Palme d 'Or.
"The first is the unspoken rule that international film festivals have. As everyone knows, these international film festivals will prefer films that have premiered at the film festival in order to fight for better film resources and maintain the prestige of their awards.
"Cannes and other film festivals usually do not give films that have already won awards at other film festivals or have already gained a high reputation. That is because it is equivalent to using one's own popularity to benefit others. It is unfair to the 'biological son directors', who have been premiering their films at the film festival for several years in a row.
"They will only make an exception if it is a particularly outstanding film.
"Tomorrow is Beautiful has coincidentally been screened overseas. Fortunately, the marketing was not good, and the attention was not high. That was why it was lucky enough to be selected for the main competition and win the award based on its outstanding ability.
"However, no matter what, the fact that it did not premiere at Cannes meant that Tomorrow is Beautiful's score in the eyes of the jury was greatly reduced.
"The second reason is mainly my conjecture. I'm just saying it, and everyone is just listening.
"Actually, the content at the beginning of Tomorrow is Beautiful should be very suitable for the taste of the jury. However, the problem is … do you remember the Easter egg at the end? The one where someone threw a gun at the door of the male lead's house?
"As for whether or not the Easter egg will be liked by the jury … you can judge for yourselves.
"Perhaps without the Easter egg, Tomorrow is Beautiful's chances of winning the award would have been higher.
"Finally, I'll tell you something very interesting.
"Do you know that there was also a film that won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 1998? It won the same award as Tomorrow is Beautiful 13 years ago. "
"It's called Life is Beautiful, La La.
Bel, the English name is Life.
Tomorrow is Beautiful.
"The English title of Tomorrow is Beautiful is Torrow
Beautiful. "
"After thirteen years, two equally excellent works with similar names have won the same award. There seems to be some kind of mysterious connection between them."
"What's more interesting is that although Life is Beautiful only won the Jury Prize, its reputation among domestic film fans was much better than the Palme d 'Or that year.
"All in all, we should be happy that Tomorrow is Beautiful won an award at Cannes. However, we should not feel regretful just because it won the Jury Prize. This film definitely deserves more praise than we thought. Let us look forward to the 'light of the domestic film industry', Fei Huang Workspace, creating more and better works for us in the future!
