Chapter 36: The Difficulty of Film Critics
Compared with the first episode of the program, which was only 25 minutes long, the second episode of the program can be commented more carefully and comprehensively when there is enough time.
The performance of the yellow-haired actor Zhang Yu with a "sense of raw edges", the bottomless and self-contained skills shown by Zhang Changlin's actor Wang Yanhui in the absurdity, and the old lady was slightly choked up but emotionally restrained...... Li Li analyzed the audience in turn.
In addition, Li Li also introduced a common confusion of many audiences - in the movie, the two gods that appeared on the street of Yindu.
The two idols are Shiva and Kali, the husband and wife, the gods who hold death and rebirth, representing destruction and rebirth.
When Cheng Yong stepped into India again to buy medicine, he happened to see two statues of gods looming in the smoke, and he began to gradually peel off the mundane heart and sublimate his spirit.
This is the sublimation part of the film, but the vast majority of viewers are completely confused in this place.
Li Li commented on the characteristics of the movie in today's program, he will not only think from a perspective, he will stand from the perspective of patients, he will also stand from the perspective of pharmaceutical companies, and will simply analyze from the perspective of film art.
Commenting on the film from multiple dimensions and perspectives, and striving to be as fair and objective as possible, is the performance of a mature and excellent film critic.
But it's a pity that there are not many film critics like Hua Guo, especially on TV platforms, it is almost impossible to see criticism in the film reviews of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", all of which are blindly affirmed and praised.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is an extremely good domestic masterpiece, but it is impossible to be without flaws, but many professional film critics choose to turn a blind eye.
When film review programs are afraid of causing controversy and are worried everywhere, it is difficult for film review programs to be objective.
On the TV:
"This flawed movie, in the editor's shallow opinion, the score should be around 8 points, the film is extremely good, but there is still a slight gap from the masterpiece. The cumulative rating of nearly one million bean sprouts reached 9.1 points, which is frankly a bit high.
There is only one reason for the high score, the audience has endured bad movies for too long, and in the Chinese film market where bad movies are like clouds, the "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has no opponent, and it seems to stand out from the crowd and shine!
Considering the current situation of the domestic film market, the huge influence of "The God of Medicine" and the great significance to domestic films, it is not an exaggeration to score a high score of 9.1.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" costs 75 million, with a cumulative box office of 3.1 billion. I want to convey this outstanding achievement to all bad movies: in fact, standing can also make money. ”
Behind the screen, countless viewers laughed heartily, and sure enough, they didn't forget to complain about bad movies at any time.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is so popular, basically the moviegoers have seen it, and everyone can understand Li Li's comments and re-analyze them according to Li Li's ideas.
But as for the audience who disagree with Li Li's point of view, there is no way to force it, because, firstly, no point of view is absolutely correct, and secondly, no point of view will be approved by everyone.
But it is precisely because of the controversy and the collision of different ideas that people are not monotonous and full of wisdom.
However, in the next film reviews of "I Am a Vegetative Man" and "Tengu", countless viewers behind the screen were confused:
""I'm a vegetative person"? "Tengu"? What kind of film, I haven't heard of it!"
"What kind of comments on the film I haven't heard, I don't understand it at all, big brother!"
"You are commenting on "Havoc in Tianzhu", I'm still waiting for you to scold it!"
""Tengu" is in theaters, but there are no stars!"
……
On TV:
"Tengu" is a film with a very sensitive theme, the film tells the story of Li Tiangu, a disabled soldier, who is sent to a mountain village as a forest ranger to protect the mountains and forests, and a series of struggles against bullies......
This is an extremely rare and powerful masterpiece of rural realism in a main theme movie, and the relationship between the meaning and the story is handled implicitly and full of tension.
The characters are successfully created, the excavation of human nature is very exciting, and the social reality of the countryside in some areas reflected in the story is very real......
…… The sequence flashbacks are interspersed with each other without being cluttered, and the overall completion of the editing is acceptable......
……
The biggest failure of this movie is still because of some reasons, and it has to be 'restrained' at the end!
……”
in the living room.
Xiaohuahua: "Xiaoli, is this "Tengu" really as good as you say?"
Li Li nodded: "It's good, in short, it won't make you feel sorry for the movie ticket!"
"I'll take a look at it in a moment and support it. ”
Cherry suddenly jumped out of the bedroom, "Sister Flowey, I'll go too!"
Li Li flickered: "After 10 o'clock in the evening, the theater does not sell popcorn!"
"Oh! " Cherry blinked her big watery eyes and turned to run back to the bedroom.
The show soon came to an end.
On the screen, the commentary screen ended, and Li Li re-entered the camera:
"These are the three films we bring to you in this issue, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has been taken off the shelves, "Tengu" is being released, "I Am a Vegetative Man" is a 12-year-old film, and it is currently available to pay to watch on Soyu Video.
That's all there is to this episode, see you next time!"
The ending song sounds, and the show ends.
Everyone in the living room turned their heads and began to educate Li Li:
"Xiaoli, you must pay attention to copywriting in the future, don't rub the edges!"
"We're the same as other film review shows, don't say what you shouldn't say!"
"Do you know what the sign of maturity is, which is to rot the truth in your stomach? ”
……
Li Li was a little helpless, "But, objectively commenting on movies, this is my job!"
Aunt Zhang: "Then why don't other film critics say anything? You look at other film review programs, what bad movies are not bad movies, they all pick good ones!"
Sister Lin: "That's right, I watched a film review show on Beijing TV a few days ago, and people also commented on "The God of Medicine", but there was no criticism at all, and the whole article was full of praise!"
Xiaohuahua shook her head: "I support Xiaoli! That's mediocre other shows! They can't offend anyone, and they're safe, but that's perfunctory to the audience!"
"I also support you!" Dad Li glanced at Mama Li and said, "But you also have to pay a little attention to the scale!"
Li Li smiled, "Don't worry, I will always pay attention to the boundaries." ”
Back in the bedroom and lying on the bed, Li Li logged on to Weibo, and with a light swipe, there were already many people in the industry who expressed their feelings after watching it.
Zhang Xiaodong posted on Weibo: "@李礼, @"Movie Guide". Impartial, objective and comprehensive, the only movie review program worth watching on the TV platform!"
Su Can, a famous female film critic, also posted on Weibo almost at the same time:
"Compared with the style of the first issue, the second issue reviews three domestic masterpieces in detail and sincerely, professional, profound and honest!
However, I can only give this show 4 stars, and the only one star deducted is because the host is so handsome, and every time I appear on camera, I give up thinking and shift my attention to his face. ”
……
After swiping again, "Xinhua Press" reposted Zhang Xiaodong's Weibo and expounded their point of view in one sentence: A real film review program should be like this!
