New York, inside the studio of "Observations of Anomalous Creatures".

"Michael?? Mr. Pei, here's last night's ratings report. ”

A staff member trotted in and handed a fax to the Hollywood director Michael, who had the highest coffee in the crew. Seashell.

The great director took the document, glanced at it, and handed it to the rest of the crew.

"Michael?? Mr. Pei, our ratings are already much ahead of "Everybody Loves Raymond". "The actor Joseph?? Gordon said with a happy face: "Then can you have a party tonight to celebrate?"

Ratings?

Michael who heard this?? Bei pursed his lips disdainfully.

As a director who has directed a movie with a box office of over 100 million, do you still need to care about the ratings of a TV series?

No, not at all!

He cares more about the critics' evaluation of "Abnormal Creature Observations".

Because of the large number of writers watching, the influence of this film review is far greater than before.

Although commercial film directors, when it comes to film critics, most of them will scoff at it.

But that's also because of this group, which is extremely ridiculous about commercial film directors.

James who filmed "The Terminator" and "True Lies"?? Cameron is evaluated as a "truck driver" who can only play special effects.

Influenced by this, the highest honor won by the great director was only the Saturn Award in 1983.

And George?? Lucas, since the filming of "Star Wars", has never won a weighty director award.

As for Spear, who is known as "the perfect combination of art and commerce"?? Berg, until 1994, won the Oscar for Best Director with "Schindler's List".

Although before, he has already filmed films such as "ET" and "Jurassic Park", which are popular and popular.

Michael?? Bei thought about "Abnormal Creature Observations", and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

Although the shots in this TV series are not inferior to his movie "Brave Island".

But...

That kind of funny character design and story is a complete commercial film model.

"I just hope..."Michael?? Bei picked up his coffee and took a sip.

waited until the bitter taste completely diffused in his mouth before he continued to talk to himself, "The evaluation of "Anomaly" should not be lower than that of "Brave Island of Death". ”

At this time, his agent walked briskly with a large stack of newspapers.

"Michael, this is today's newspaper," the agent added puffingly, "I don't know why, almost all influential film critics, are talking about yesterday's 'Anomaly'. ”

It's over, it's time to say goodbye to Oscar once and for all.

Michael?? Bey thought of Spear during the Jaws era?? Berg, after being ridiculed by critics, missed the tragic situation of the major awards.

Don't have Spear yourself?? Berg, so well connected.

Moreover, there is no other "Schindler's List" to let myself shoot.

While regretting in his heart that he took over the filming of "Abnormal Creature Observations", he took the newspaper.

But a moment later, Michael?? Bey was petrified.

"In the history of literary adaptation, "Anomaly" is a new starting point and deserves to be remembered. ”

Michael?? Bei looked at it carefully several times to confirm that he did not have visual hallucinations.

He was stunned for a moment, and hurried to read other newspapers.

"In the adaptation of "Anomalous Creature Observations", Michael?? Bei finally gave up the method of showing off his skills and began to respect the original work. ”

"Fans of the original book said that Michael?? The space station of Beipai is the image in their hearts. ”

This...

He looked at the ratings again, and saw that the lowest rating, all of which had four stars.

And the average rating of "Brave Death Island" seems to be 2 stars, right?

Could it be that ABC is so powerful that it can get rid of most film critics?

Michael?? Bei looked at the logo of the TV station on the studio, and for a moment felt a little dazzling.

This kind of thing is impossible for Hollywood giants Disney, Universal, and Columbia to do.

"That's right. The agent took out three newspapers, "I think these comments have collector's value." ”

"No, it's all movie reviews, it's worth collecting!" Michael?? Bei sighed in his heart.

"It's hard to imagine a day when the critics' attitude towards themselves is praise, not scolding!"

Among Hollywood's current commercial film directors, except for Spear?? Berge, who else has achieved this achievement?

As he took the newspaper, he thought to himself, "Probably, it's just me!"

"The adaptation of "Anomaly", although it is not particularly brilliant, is relatively in place.

Overall Rating: 3.5 stars recommended. ”

3.5？

This makes Michael, who has just seen a large number of 4-star recommendations?? Bei, very uncomfortable.

"Is this...The New York Times?" he pouted, and whispered, "Just because it's the newspaper with the largest circulation, it's worth collecting?"

"Of course not. The agent pointed to the newspaper and smiled, "Look at the critic's signature." ”

"Roger?? Albert gave four stars, and there was anything more authoritative than him?"Michael?? Bei looked towards the signature column, only to see a familiar name appear on it.

"Stephen?? Kim?" He was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Is that Stephen??" Kim?"

"Of course," the agent smiled and nodded, "otherwise, how could it be collectible?"

That... Who are the film critics for these two newspapers?

Michael?? Bei carefully placed the New York Times on his desk.

Then, I picked up the Washington Post and American Literature.

"Tony?? Morrison?"

"Joseph?? Heller?"

Although these three film reviews only gave a 3.5 rating.

But apart from the adaptation of their own works, is there any other work that allows these three world-renowned writers to write film reviews?

"Quick, go buy three more newspapers. "Michael?? Bei shouted at the agent: "There must be no folds!"

After the agent left, he picked up the three film reviews again and read them seriously.

Look at it, Michael?? A flash of lightning flashed through Bei's mind.

"ABC doesn't have that much ability to go to PR all the critics, but..."

"The Writers' Guild has it!"

The most well-known film critic Roger?? Albert, or Joseph?? What about the students of the Heller students!

Then, he connected all the recent events in his mind.

The negotiation video of "Anomaly" was exposed, and the original author, Wang, angrily reprimanded the producer.

The Writers Association came forward to support Wang.

"Anomaly" re-edited, logged in to ABC.

Film critics began to praise the commercial "Anomaly" unusually.

"So..."Michael?? Bei looked at the table full of newspapers and said to himself: "The critics actually don't give me a high rating, but the king?"

When several leading actors around him heard this, they looked at each other for a moment.

Then, I heard Mr. Big Director chuckle again, "No matter how high the critics have given it, then for the sake of the dignity of the critics, the awards season will definitely reflect something." ”

"Unexpectedly, the first heavyweight award I won was not Saturn, Golden Ball, or Oscar, but it could be Emmy!"

"Haha, "Anomalous Creature Observations", very interesting. ”

He picked up his coffee and took a sip, "Wang, I'm really looking forward to when you can go to the movie!"
