In fact, giving red envelopes is the norm in the industry.

Although the influence of film critics is getting weaker and weaker, this group of people may not be able to push up a bad movie, but it is still relatively easy to want bad things.

However, this is only for those ordinary film critics, like those well-known film critics, as well as those authoritative media, which are still more disciplined in this regard.

In other words, the well-known film critics who really have great influence at the moment are still relatively disciplined in this regard.

Because this is the magic weapon they rely on to survive.

They may be embarrassed to belittle a film because they received a red envelope, but they will never applaud a bad movie because of the red envelope.

Although many times, many film critics will not refuse red envelope gifts issued by film investors, but there are exceptions.

Those more authoritative film critics, if the movie is good enough, they naturally will not refuse.

But if they refuse, then it's a very bad sign.

Because these professional and authoritative film critics also cherish feathers, if the movie is not bad, they will not be stingy with praise, but if the movie is really not good, then they will naturally not smash their reputation because of a movie.

After all, red envelopes can be taken for a while, but what they live on is their reputation.

And among them, the biggest name in the film critic industry that made Fan Wencheng a little lost and heavy, Lin Jun.

His attitude made Fan Wencheng's heart fall to the bottom.

Although even a big name in the film critic industry like Lin Jun sometimes misses and loses his eyes, but at this moment, Fan Wencheng knows that this is just self-comfort.

After the premiere, the next day will be the real showdown.

Because no matter how good the publicity is, it is not as good as the feelings of moviegoers, although film critics cannot represent the audience's preferences, and a small group of fans cannot represent the audience, but this is a weather vane.

Some movies are indeed getting more and more popular, as long as there are certain highlights, under marketing and promotion, they may not fail to achieve good results.

But that must be premised, that is, there are no other strong competitors in the same period.

When the audience has other choices, it is difficult to happen that the more you scold, the more angry you are.

Among the two things, in the early stage, the word of mouth of film critics is more influential, but if you really want to make a movie a hit, it still depends on the audience's word of mouth.

Film critics can be bought, but audiences don't.

The next day, the entire industry was waiting for reviews of the two films to come out.

Even Lin Xiao paid so much attention to a movie for the first time.

Although there is a system, a good script is not necessarily a good movie, and there are more films with bad stories that have been made.

Therefore, Lin Xiao came to Lingxiao Pavilion Company early in the morning.

Yang Hao, Wang Pengfei and other main creators also arrived one after another.

Although the response from the audience yesterday was very good, after all, it was only in the field.

......

The first thing I read is "Movie Vane", although this magazine does not sell well, but it has a pivotal position in the industry, just like its name, it is the vane of movies!

It's just that the first thing that caught Lin Xiao's eye was not a film review about "Infernal Affairs", but a film review about "Marginal People" by Zheng Jie, editor-in-chief of "Film Wind Vane".

"I was invited to attend the premiere of "Marginal People" and did a personal analysis of this film, and my personal opinion is for reference only. ”

""Marginal Man" is definitely the largest domestic police film in this year's Spring Festival, with an investment cost of up to 400 million, which is rare in recent years. ”

"Director Fan Wencheng is one of the three directors who are best at police and gangster films in China, and when promoting, Director Fan Wencheng said that in this movie, he has made breakthroughs in many aspects, which I have indeed seen. ”

"In terms of big scenes, in the first half of "Edge Man", it did achieve the degree of exclamation from time to time, and the hearty fighting pleasure of several superstars is enough to stimulate the nerves of any audience, it can be said that "Edge Man" has done a very good job in this regard......

However, "The Marginal" seems to place too much emphasis on the big scenes, but "The Marginal" ignores the most basic element of the film, which is to tell a good story. The protagonist is an undercover agent, and his long undercover career has made the protagonist sensitive and neurotic, however, the development of the plot makes people feel very inconsistent. ”

"The sensitive and neurotic protagonist, every appearance is a big killing, originally expected, the acting showdown of several major actors, did not appear, all the pen and ink were given to the protagonist, maybe Director Fan Wencheng wants to imitate the model of the lonely hero of Hollywood blockbusters, but the character shaping of the protagonist is sensitive and neurotic, as a result, the protagonist's personality and actions are incompatible. ”

"There are too many amazing big scenes and big scenes at the beginning, which leads to the final visual fatigue and the incongruity of the characters' personalities and behaviors, which makes the plot of the whole play a little broken. ”

"When the plot begins to serve the big scenes, the intense and exciting big scenes, this film has lost the flavor it should have, because good movies and good-looking movies are all big scenes and big scenes that serve the plot. ”

"I learned the model of the lonely hero of Hollywood movies, but I didn't learn it all, the characteristics of popcorn movies are the same as the inside and the outside, although the plot is simple, but it is necessary to let the character and behavior patterns of the protagonist form logic, rather than sacrificing rationality for the sake of killing all sides. ”

"In the first half, I can give this film an evaluation of 8 points (out of 10), but in the second half, I can only give 5 points (out of 10), and the whole movie can only reach a barely passing score of 6!"

Seeing the evaluation of Zheng Jie, editor-in-chief of "Movie Wind Vane", Lin Xiao was a little stunned for a while.

Because the news I got last night about the on-site reaction of "Marginal Man" was that the audience applauded, but the first review I saw was a review written by the editor-in-chief of an important magazine in the industry such as "Movie Weather Vane", and the result was only a passing grade.

This also made Lin Xiao and others a little nervous, "Marginal Man" is like this, but what about "Infernal Affairs"?

Soon, Lin Xiao found another film review in "Movie Vane". A film review about Infernal Affairs.

is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Movie Wind Vane", a film review by Lin Wenyuan.

"I was fortunate to attend the premiere of Infernal Affairs, and I was fortunate to be able to see this film for the first time. This movie, in terms of scenes, is not even comparable to the previous police and gangster films, but it's not that this movie is bad, on the contrary, this is what I watched this year, no...... It should be said that it is the best police movie I have ever watched in my career. ”

"If you like to watch big scenes, "Infernal Affairs" is a very good choice, very contradictory, isn't it? No, it's not contradictory at all, we often say that the big scenes are expressed through special effects and props, but the big scenes of "Infernal Affairs" are shown through the superb acting skills of the actors and the wonderful plot. ”

"In my opinion, there are many 'big scenes' in this film, and each of them can make people nervous and engaged......"
