Chapter 524: Bad reviews are flooding
"What are you looking at? Still laughing while watching. After taking a shower, Yuan Yang saw Zhou Bai staring intently at the screen in front of the computer, and laughed from time to time, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
A few years ago, when the computer was still a rare thing, Zhou Bai was the first batch of people in China to contact the Internet, and now the Internet has become commonplace, whether it is a study or a bedroom, it is equipped with a computer, for him, it has become a habit to understand information on the Internet.
Yuan also surfs the Internet, but usually just chats with classmates and friends on the Internet, or goes to watch some news, and it is not for a long time, and occasionally he will play those simple games.
"I'm reading the comments of netizens, these netizens are quite talented, and posting movie reviews is the same as saying jokes, complaining very much, you look at this, two men fight for a woman, and the bloody plot of the duel in the end, I feel that the hero and heroine want to roll the sheets anytime and anywhere, and when the bloody duel is dueling, the heroine dies and dies, and when she comes out of the cinema, she feels like she has eaten a chocolate-flavored fly, so chaotic. Zhou Bai pulled Yuan Yang over, let her sit on his lap, and pointed to a comment from a netizen on the screen.
"Which movie is this? It's funny. Yuan Yang glanced at his boyfriend, and now Zhou Bai is like a child, and at the end he patted his funny hand.
"This is a movie review of Ambush on All Sides, and I promise the teacher will laugh if he sees it. Zhou Bai kissed Yuan Yu in his arms, and said with a smile that was not very kind.
"Ambush on All Sides" has been released for three days, and the soaring box office and the tide of bad reviews have almost become the hottest topic at the moment.
"Teacher Zhang doesn't use the Internet much, so he shouldn't be able to see these comments, and besides, these complaints are seen by him, are you sure he will be happy?" Yuan Yu said angrily.
Although the box office was very good after the release of "Ambush on All Sides", the evaluation and the heat of the box office were two days of ice and fire, even compared to "Hero", the bad reviews this time were even worse, almost all of them focused on the lack of the plot, many people were not satisfied after watching it, whether it was the media or the audience, they had something to say.
"Don't worry, the teacher won't be so narrow-minded, when "Hero" came out, it was overwhelmed, and the audience was used to being critical of him, and he would not be easily affected by his artistic achievements, he must have thought this comment was very interesting if he knew it. ”
With Zhou Bai's understanding of Zhang Yimou, he can't be affected by this kind of comment on the Internet, two years ago, "Hero" came out of almost overwhelming criticism from the print media to the Internet, what is said to be a praise of feudal imperial power, one after another moral hats are buttoned up, what Jiang Lang is talented, almost bad words, it can be said that it has been tested a long time ago, and I am used to it.
"That's good, in fact, I think this comment is quite reasonable, the plot is indeed a bit of that, the logic of the characters is a little worse, and the game within the game is quite obscure, no wonder everyone sees it in the clouds, but the composition and set are very good, and the performance is also very good, it would be too exaggerated to say that it is a bad movie. Yuan Yu was a little hesitant, she had watched "Ambush on All Sides", and attended the premiere of "Ambush on All Sides" with Zhou Bai, and she was also moved.
"There's no way, who made this a teacher's work, a good movie, with his name, will become unqualified, and he will be examined differently from others. Zhou Bai smiled helplessly, in all fairness, the quality of this movie is not bad, it should be qualified as a domestic commercial film, but it is a pity that the audience's expectations for the teacher are too different from those of other directors.
Is "Ambush on All Sides" a bad movie? Of course not, in fact, this movie is far from meeting the standards of a bad movie, and the reason why it almost became a bad movie is because it is Zhang Yimou's work.
In fact, this film is excellent in terms of composition and music, and the scheduling of the shots is also very smooth, and it can even be said that it can be called a textbook work of film aesthetics and photography techniques, and it is successful in terms of film aesthetics and techniques.
And the audience is not a professional filmmaker, they don't understand so many professional film techniques, and they don't study the composition and color of the movie, they prefer to see a wonderful story, so it's not without reason that the audience doesn't like it, the dramatic tension of this movie is not enough The problem is very obvious, the story strives to weave tension and suspense in the case of congenital insufficiency, the overall sloppiness is shriveled and dry, and all the characters are flat, these shortcomings cannot be ignored, it can only be said that it does not meet the audience's taste, and it has been out of touch.
A movie with excellent pictures, qualified performances, and mediocre plots has become a bad movie in the audience's mouth, and it may get a good evaluation if someone else comes to it, who made the film director Zhang Yimou, the audience can't tolerate the slightest mediocrity, and passing is a failure.
In fact, the story of the movie has been modified a lot, because when this movie was filming "Hero", Zhang Yimou often discussed with screenwriters Li Feng and Wang Bing after finishing work, which Zhou Bai had seen, and the original heroine was not Zhang Ziyi, but Mei Yanfang, the queen of Xiangjiang, but unfortunately there were many good things, and Yiren passed away, and in the end he could only modify the script significantly, which also led to some problems in the plot.
"I'm very worried about what will happen to our movie after it is released, we have a real investment of close to 200 million, and the box office pressure is much greater than that of "Ambush on All Sides". Yuan Xiang is a little worried, if you want to talk about box office pressure, "Fast Pursuit" is undoubtedly bigger than "Ambush on All Sides".
"Ambush on All Sides" claims to have an investment of 270 million yuan, but the actual investment is only 100 million, and now although it has received rave reviews on the first three days of the premiere, it has accumulated a box office of 31 million, and the momentum is also good.
"Our positioning is different from theirs, although Mr. Zhang will hype, but the grasp of the market is not necessarily as accurate as mine, the teacher has to take into account the art of filmmaking, we are all based on the needs of the audience first, and strive to stimulate their adrenaline, provide a hearty visual experience, and do enough work on the entertainment experience, the box office may not be worse than "Ambush on All Sides", maybe it will be another "Hero". Zhou Bai said lightly.
Although "Ambush on All Sides" is a martial arts theme, it is actually a romance film, more focused on art, far inferior to "Hero" in the scene, plus the publicity is not as much as "Hero", and the quality is much worse, and the box office is definitely not up to the level of "Hero".
"Fast Pursuit" is full of entertainment, gunfights, drag racing, and fight scenes are not lacking, and it is the first of its kind, clean and neat, the weak points have been modified in the plot, and the foreshadowing has been done, and the publicity strategy has also been chosen correctly, and the trailer was very well evaluated when it came out, attracting the interest of many audiences, as long as the follow-up publicity keeps up, it may not be possible to touch the box office record of "Hero".
