"Tangshan Earthquake" did not perform well at the box office for two consecutive days, which made many media and elites who were dissatisfied with Zhang Ran feel that the opportunity had come, and various criticisms of the film began to appear in the media and on the Internet, and the voices of "mediocre quality", "applauded or not", "box office fiasco", "Zhang Ran suffered a tragic Waterloo" and other declining voices appeared on a large scale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The story of the movie is good, but there is no depth and criticism at all, it is a warm reunion drama of a distressed family. Some people will say that it doesn't mean that you don't cry alone, I can find hundreds of people crying, uniformly, like a memorial service. But is that so powerful? If tears are useful, why make a ton of them. This film can't look beyond the surface and brings more food for thought to the audience. ”

"The Tangshan Earthquake has the participation of the General Administration and government investment, which means that the film is not a commercial film in essence, but a political propaganda film. It's just that it has a coat of business, which means that Zhang Ran has gone from a civilian director to a business director, to a director with the main theme, Zhang Ran has lost his civilian nature and gained recognition of his identity, I don't know how Zhang Ran feels, but I think those who like to watch the joys and sorrows of the little people will no longer have expectations and surprises. ”

"Xinjing Daily", an old opponent, naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and directly published an article written by Xiao Ying, a professor and professor at Tsinghua University, "The Great Earthquake Suffered Waterloo, and the Foreign Media Received a Flood of Bad Reviews", in which he wrote: "Two days after the global release of "Tangshan Earthquake", the editor of a national media called me to write a review of Zhang Ran's film. I turned down the editor's offer for the simple reason that I didn't watch the film, and I don't plan to see it, even though it has been hyped in the domestic media as an epic masterpiece to save Chinese cinema.

I didn't plan to watch "Tangshan Earthquake" because after watching "Time Soldier", "The Aviator" and "Three Fools", I decided not to watch Zhang Ran's movies anymore. The reason is very simple, these three blockbusters that created box office myths are not only worse than the other, but also show the cultural nihilism and movie money worship in his bones. What's more, as a filmmaker, Zhang Ran has no skills to do except for the second-rate visual methods he learned from Hollywood and shocked the movie with it.

After browsing the domestic public opinion on "The Great Earthquake", I carefully searched and browsed the reports and comments on the "Great Earthquake" film in overseas media, especially in Europe. To my surprise, not only did I not see the unanimous praise of the audience in the European media, but also the various bad reviews of "The Great Earthquake" from the European professional media.

Kate Muir, a film critic for The Times, gave a two-star review, pointing out that it seems that China's past suffering and the ambitions of today's cultural industry will inspire the people's national enthusiasm with the help of the film......

There are more critical articles on the Internet about "Tangshan Earthquake", "The Two Failures of "Tangshan Earthquake", "Five Reasons Not to Go to the Cinema to Watch "Tangshan Earthquake", "Eight Failures of "Tangshan Earthquake", "Top Ten Disgusting Places of "Tangshan Earthquake", and so on.

Shi Yan, editor of the TV series "Struggle", ridiculed Zhang Ran fiercely in his blog: "Everyone in "Tangshan Earthquake" is a good person, only God is a demon, because the earthquake it caused made people's happiness fail. Fools also have to ask, is this possible? Zhang Ran finally learned Zhang Yimou's trick, and he played better than Zhang Yimou, but that thing was nothing more than revealing people's old scars while applying red potion to new wounds, making people feel pain and gratitude, and no one should be offended, but, can it be committed?"

NetEase, which has always regarded itself as a media with an attitude, has a very clear attitude, and directly engaged in a special topic: ""Tangshan Earthquake" can hardly be called a masterpiece!"

Those trolls who originally liked to black Zhang Ran seized the opportunity this time and even went to Zhang Ran's Weibo to ridicule them on various forums.

"Bad writing, your movie is too bad, this time it's a loss!"

"When you were filming the disaster relief process, did you know that D gave up asking for help abroad for the sake of the so-called face?"

"The Chinese movie is over, and the disaster of 31 years ago has been moved out in order to learn from Hollywood!"

"Resolutely don't look at the Tangshan earthquake, and despise Zhang Ran's wealth in the country!"

"Most of Zhang Ran's films have no soul, and Mr. Xiao Ying said what I wanted to say. ”

However, Zhang Ran's fans are not dry meals, they are basically young people, and young people have always been very angry, not to mention that they have also experienced a hundred battles over the years, and they are all relatively strong. Now when I see these people spraying their idols, they don't say a word, they use to scold in the past, and even form various formations to carry out fancy abuse.

This scolding battle is absolutely dark!

Where did these experts and professors encounter this kind of scene of thousands of people scolding, and the scolding is extremely ugly, either the father dies of the mother, or the ashes drift, and they are so angry that they almost have a heart attack. It's just that they hold their own identities, and they can't scold back, so they can only denounce on blogs and Weibo: "There are really idols, there are fans, look at what kind of quality these are? It's just a hooligan black 1 society!"

In fact, Zhang Ran's fans are not unreasonable, for example, Shi Yan said that everyone in "Tangshan Earthquake" is a good person, and there are no bad people, Zhang Ran's fans retorted, in the movie, when Zhang Jingchu returned to Tangshan, there was a scene, a propaganda car drove slowly, and a girl broadcast in the car: "The city's public security police are mobilized, vigilant against people robbing national property, making it difficult for the country to make money, once discovered, correct the law on the spot, and never be soft!" It's a reaction that someone robbed at the time, but it wasn't directly shown in the movie, and such a plain thing can't be seen, it's just a problem with IQ.

Regarding Xiao Ying's evaluation of "a flood of bad reviews from European media", fans directly moved the screenshots of major rating websites in Europe. The European media has always had a low evaluation of Zhang Ran's films, because he is too Hollywood, and "Tangshan Earthquake" has indeed received a lot of bad reviews in Europe, but as a disaster film, "Tangshan Earthquake" has come up with a lot of new things, so the European media is still mostly praised. The ratings of the media on various rating websites are passing, and the ratings of the audience are rave reviews, and these screenshots swelled Xiao Ying's face.

Zhang Ran didn't have the heart to deal with these experts and professors, he was concerned about the box office trend. After the box office on the third day was released, Zhang Ran was completely relieved, and the box office on the third day was 19 million. According to the normal law, the trend of Spring Festival films is from the first day of the new year to the seventh day of the new year, gradually decreasing. Now the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" has rebounded to 19 million, indicating that the film is beginning to pick up.

The key to this phenomenon is that there is no concept of Spring Festival stalls yet, everyone has not yet entered the habit of entering the cinema during the Spring Festival, and everyone is busy visiting relatives and friends on the first and second days of the new year;

I believe that the box office will get better and better in the next few days, and the Valentine's Day schedule will usher in a complete outbreak!

Zhang Jingchu's cousin Zhang Jingxin heard that her sister and brother-in-law were back, so she ran to Zhang Jingchu's house to join in the fun. Seeing that Zhang Ran was like no one, she laughed with Zhang Jingchu's parents, and couldn't help asking: "Brother-in-law, haven't you watched it on the Internet? There are so many people scolding "Tangshan Earthquake" on the Internet, and many experts and professors are criticizing you!"

Zhang Ran said disapprovingly: "What do those brick families call beasts, they just vent their dissatisfaction with the government on me." These people obviously have a job for the government, but they come to accuse me of doing things for the government, saying that I am groveling in the face of power, and that I am not cheap! If they really have the ability, they will not take the government's salary, and then come out to argue with me. In the final analysis, they are actually envious, jealous and hateful, and they are attacking me now, just like criticizing Xie Jin in the 80s and Lao Mouzi in the 90s, whoever stands in my position will be scolded!"

Zhang Jing thought about it and felt that it made sense, and asked again, "Then don't you refute it?"

Zhang Ran said in a high-spirited manner: "Many of these experts and professors are here to touch porcelain, and they are hyped up by using my fame, if I take care of them, won't I fall into their arms? ”

Zhang Jing said puzzledly: "But they write so many articles, saying that the movie is not good and that it is not good, it will affect the box office!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Now is the Internet era, and people have a much wider way to obtain information, unlike in the past, everyone believed what the newspapers said, and their remarks had no impact on the box office, what really could affect the box office was the audience's word of mouth." Some people still think that they are still in their twenties, and they always think that the audience is as easy to fool as in the past, but in fact, the audience is much smarter than them, and everyone knows what they want!"

Zhang Jingxin chatted with Zhang Jingchu for a while, and went online with her notebook. Soon, she shouted, "Brother-in-law, another professor has come out to scold you!" After speaking, she added: "Zhu Dake of Tongji University!"

Zhang Ran was too lazy to take care of it, but when he heard Zhu Dake frowning, he took the notebook from Zhang Jingxin's hand and flipped through Zhu Dake's article: "Film is a cultural industry, and Zhang Ran can only treat movies with the attitude of industrial marketing due to the limitation of cultural literacy. However, film as an industry, its foothold is not in industry, but in culture. Without sufficient cultural literacy and sincere artistic spirit, it is impossible to create truly high-level film works. Undoubtedly, because Zhang Ran is obvious and difficult to change cultural limitations, we cannot expect him to take the banner to build a film power. This has not only been proven in the history of Chinese cinema in the past 10 years, but also again in the film "Tangshan Earthquake", which is wrongly sought after today. In the sense of lacking the soul of the movie, "Tangshan Earthquake" is just a remake of the remake of "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain".

The award-winning "The Aviator" in Venice is a full stop of Zhang Ran's film art and a preview of Zhang Ran's film career; that full stop shows that Zhang Ran's films have not faced up to the real world; and that trailer clearly tells the world that future Zhang Yimou films will 'know their way back', will 'return to simplicity', and return to the road of Xie Jin. It's just that compared to Xie Jin's grouping, Zhang Ran is even more shameful. Xie Jin's films usually satisfy both the official family and the audience, in the parlance of the era, to satisfy the party and the masses, while Zhang Ran's films not only satisfy the party, but also kneel directly in front of the yuan......

…… Spielberg's Schindler's List is a Jewish lament, and Zhang Ran's Tangshan Earthquake is a visual feast, and the contrast between them makes us feel ashamed. We will cling to our conscience and never sleep, as if we were clinging to a bunch of absurd realities. ”

Zhang Ran couldn't help but sneer at the article, and after a few seconds, he spoke: "Twenty-two years ago, the dirty water you poured on Xie Jin should have been washed off, let me turn over this case!"
