A new movie is often the most direct and explicit comment on the news on the night of its premiere and the next morning. The reason for this is that there is no basis for the pre-release evaluation of the movie, and the filmmaker can often use the golden yuan tactic to control public opinion; and after three or four days after the release of the movie, the box office, which has the nature of the final word, will generally begin to show its power, and then everyone will swarm to follow the wind or fall into the ground, and the position will naturally be similar.

Therefore, the media's debate about a movie is generally when the movie has just been released, and this moment is also the best way to show the vision and ability of these media.

In fact, the night before, most of the online media had adopted a relatively mild and euphemistic evaluation of the movie "Those Years", with words such as although, but, maybe, and maybe abound. However, considering that most of the online media have a shallow foundation, lack of prestige and credibility in terms of judgment, and are generally only a short comment, it is understandable for them to say so.

But early the next morning, with all kinds of confident paper media, professional film critics, and film review agencies taking action, some things seemed dazzling.

Because these evaluations are too polarizing!

Let's put aside the mess and grandstanding, and just take the three most representative Korean newspapers, which basically include half of the Korean people, and each has its own die-hard fans.

Among them, Dong-A Ilbo gave a score of 6.5, which is a very low score in a 10-point environment. It means just passing, and Chosun Ilbo is three and a half out of five stars. This 10-point scale is not the same thing. It means that it is decent, in fact, the content of the film review is also decent, and most of them are interviews with Zhang Dongjian, and they don't have much of their own words, but "Central Daily" directly gave a four-star out of five, which is a high score in the more demanding paper media!

Among them, "Dong-A Daily" wrote:

Perhaps the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so the reporter of this newspaper went to the premiere with trust in Kim Jong-myung. And the other party's calmness and calmness before the movie screening also made people feel reassured, but all of this was completely transformed into incomprehension after the movie was screened.

The first is structural imbalance. Needless to say, various online media have already pointed it out that night. The first 70 minutes of the movie are intended to restore a real and youthful youth, but the whole process is boring and lethargic.

The second is vulgarity. It is estimated that Jin Zhongming also felt the blandness and boredom of the first 70 minutes of the movie, so he set up a lot of exaggerated scenes to arouse the audience's interest, but unexpectedly he used too much force, these scenes were either handjobs or thighs, or simply watching **** and the four-legged beast in the boys' bathroom! It's hard to imagine that this is the handwriting of a director who made a masterpiece like "I Love You". To put it bluntly, these things are disgusting rather than arousing the interest of reporters! I don't know what qualifies such a vulgar thing as youth? Could it be that young people nowadays are handjobs all day long in the dormitory? Or are they engaged in py trading all day long?

In a word. The first seventy minutes of the movie are almost empty and impatient. And it's so vulgar that just the first half of the movie has made the whole movie slide into the abyss!

And when it comes to the actor of another element of the movie, Kim Jong-myung as an actor this time is also disappointing. Except for the last scene in this movie, he didn't seem to show the actor-level acting skills that stood out from the crowd in the rest of the process, but just maintained the basic strength with other actors, and even a little bit inferior to the rookie actor Han Enjing.

But this is understandable, after all, being a director and producer at the same time will greatly distract his energy. And faintly, Kim Jong-ming seems to be trying hard to bring out the performance of the heroine Han Eun-jeong, and if this is his purpose, then he has succeeded, because this time the two rookie actors Han Eun-jeong and Song Joong Ki performed really well.

Han Enjing's first performance as the heroine was eye-catching, the two crying scenes were eye-catching, and the transition between several crying and laughing was extremely outstanding, and the scene of laughter and tears under the moon was really beautiful. As for Song Joong Ki, his efforts to sacrifice his image and gain weight have also paid off, and in this film, he is the same as the other four young actors who have won the Best Male Newcomer in major film awards, with a calm performance and good performance, and it seems that SidusHQ's vision is as good as ever.

In addition, the earth-shattering kiss scene at the last moment of the movie, as well as the dazzling cuts in those minutes, are indeed amazing, coupled with Kim Jong-myeong's excellent soundtrack as always, so that the movie was saved from the abyss at the last moment, and even came above the passing line. In addition, from a commercial point of view, considering that the film is played by a group of young actors who have always attracted young audiences, it should not be a big problem to recoup the cost with a fan bonus, which is already a high score in the bleak film market.

Therefore, this newspaper gave this movie and Kim Jongming a score of 65!

But I still have to say one more thing, that is, please ask Mr. Kim Jong Ming to withdraw your young man's arrogance, and put on a correct posture to completely settle down. And the next work must be more serious and respectful! Because we believe that the reason for the almost low-level mistake of the imbalance in the structure of the film may have something to do with the short production cycle. In that case, it is actually Kim Jong Ming who sacrificed the quality of the movie in order to avoid the fiercely competitive Christmas-New Year schedule and for commercial interests!

It's horrible!"

However, JoongAng Ilbo has the opposite view.

The newspaper began by rejecting the notion held by most media outlets that the film was structurally unbalanced, and that the first 70 minutes were rotten or bad.

Because this newspaper believes that it is up to the audience to judge whether a movie is boring or vulgar, and this is a youth film, a film for young people! Then those realistic youth and exaggerated bridges are not necessarily garbage. Because these things are for those college students. Indeed, there is something that can bring back memories and make them laugh.

Regarding Kim Jong-ming's tepid performance, "Central Daily" simply said the opposite.

They say that Kim Jong-myung completed the shooting in the state of being both a director and a producer, which is already remarkable. What's more, although this is a love youth film, it still has the nature of a group drama, and Kim Jong Ming needs to take care of other actors, in this case, excessive force is easy to get out of touch. Plus as a director. The collective performance of all the actors is the first priority, so the outstanding performance of the other actors is undoubtedly due to this peer.

The front has been washed like this, and the remaining forty minutes of the movie "Central Daily" is naturally even more praised, and the degree of numbness is simply speechless.

In short, South Korea's earliest paper-based comprehensive media closely focused on the topics of age and youth, and in fact, they bluntly said at the end of the article: What is the real youth, or what the youth in Kim Jong-myung's movie should be, needs to be judged by the people he wants to show it. A group of professors who study film theory all day are not qualified to evaluate this movie, and the real ones who are really qualified to score this movie are undoubtedly the group of young people who are releasing their hormones in adolescence!

It's worth noting, though. Although the media strongly touted and recognized the film, it only thought that the commercial future of the film would barely pay for itself. At this point, they didn't fight the "Dong-A Daily" next door.

"But why?" Liu Dehuan, who was sitting on the sofa, scratched his head in some confusion. "Why is there such a big gap between the evaluations of JoongAng Ilbo and Dong-A Daily? Isn't JoongAng Ilbo taking the high-end route? Dong-A Ilbo is usually the ...... that seems to be more accommodating."

That's because Dong-A Ilbo has a close relationship with the Korean film industry. Kim Jong-ming, who was sitting behind his desk, was holding the latest issue of the Chosun Ilbo and reading it carefully, without raising his head when he said this. And this kind of intimacy has been formed since the time of the alliance of the Underground Cooking Sect before the Restoration. Therefore, their film reviews represent the opinion of the most orthodox group of people in the Korean film industry itself, and this opinion actually belongs to the group of professors and directors who have retired for I don't know how many years, and they are not used to reading it, or they simply don't want to watch our movies, isn't it normal?"

Liu Dehuan suddenly realized.

"Actually. Jin Zhongming put down the newspaper, and then stretched with a smile. "Being able to give a score of 6 or more is already a shame for my teacher. Moreover, what they really mean is actually the last paragraph, first of all, they think that the failure of this movie is a foregone conclusion, so they decided to take the opportunity to remind us that young people should settle down, don't always think about pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, just wait seriously and honestly. ”

Liu Dehuan completely understood at this moment: "What about the "Central Daily"?"

"JoongAng Ilbo has the most comprehensive investigative agency in South Korea. Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party. "They are also in charge of the Korean editions of international magazines such as Forbes and Vogue, so they have a subtle and sensitive ability to observe different age groups and income groups. In South Korea, they are actually the earliest and fastest media to perceive something that is happening in a certain range. For example...... Things to do on the internal forum of Seoul National University. ”

"Is it highly rated?" Ryu reacted very quickly.

"Very nice. Jin Zhongming smiled and nodded. "The younger students who went to the movies were very face-saving, and most of them gave very high praises, considering that college students have their own online communication channels among themselves, I estimate that the reputation and influence of our movies will soon spread through them. ”

"So JoongAng Ilbo is aware of the disparity in recognition between students and adults...... "Mr. Yoo said excitedly, but he suddenly got stuck. "If that's the case, then their predictions about the commercial future of the film should also be relatively accurate? Didn't you say that they are not the best at social research? Zhong Ming, tell me the truth, how high do you expect the box office of our film?"

"I won't tell you, I'm a person who never spoils. With such a smile, Kim Jong-ming picked up the Chosun Ilbo again, and then stared at one of the sections seriously.

"I feel like you're in a good state of mind today, and you're in the mood to joke. Liu Dehuan said with a strange expression. "It was weird and scary last night......"

"Hey. Something nice happened last night. He said. Jin Zhongming also crossed Erlang's legs. "So today I am refreshed and refreshed. There is also a feeling that everything is under control, so the clouds are light and the wind is light. ”

Liu Dehuan: "...... In that case, can you not let me go to the strong heart recording the day after tomorrow, I'm not used to that kind of occasion, and if I really want to go, I don't think ten of them are worth one of your roles. ”

"Forget it. "Kim Jong Ming is really in a good mood today. "Actually, it's okay for me to go with Eun Jing and Jang Geun Suk, and it takes a favor to let people change their seats temporarily. Anyway, you came to my office early in the morning to deliver newspapers and talk about it?"

"Hey!" Liu Dehuan nodded awkwardly. "I'm really not good at that...... If you want to see other reviews, it's Monday, so Korea Movie Weekly has it too. However, they also think that we are top-heavy, and think that this movie has become a youth idol movie, but "Seoul Sports" is very surprised, yesterday the female reporter who found fault wrote a very affectionate and emotional article, and gave the movie a full score......"

"It's normal. Jin Zhongming looked up and replied. "Movie Weekly is a professional magazine, a magazine for people who work in the film industry, so they speak from the perspective of film language. As for the gossip female reporter in red yesterday, with her age of twenty-seven or eighteen, she naturally doesn't care about anything, and the reputation of "Seoul Sports" is also there, and they don't care how outrageous the content is. That's why I value Chosun Ilbo even more. After all, these miscellaneous newspapers and magazines together can't compare to the influence of a Chosun Ilbo......"

"But the Chosun Ilbo is in the mud. Liu Dehuan spread his hands. "Like "Korea Financial News", they obviously can't watch our youth film. But because they have a good relationship with you, they are all in the mud. The only difference is that one has a better relationship with you so I gave 8 points, and if I praise it a little more, the other one is not very close to you, so I give three and a half ......"

"It doesn't matter the score, it doesn't matter the number of stars. Jin Zhongming put down the newspaper and replied slowly. "It doesn't matter what the media scores, because what really determines the score is the one that the audience on the website after watching the movie tonight, and that, I think, should be high...... So we should look at the content, and if they are informative and interesting, I'd be happy to ......give me even one star."

"But the Chosun Ilbo is making peace with the mud!" Ryu Deok-hwan couldn't help but repeat. "I've read the newspaper before I came to deliver it to you!"

"Today's one may be in the mud. Jin Zhongming ordered the newspaper on the table. "There's no doubt about that. However, if tonight's initial box office and word-of-mouth can be generated, then something will be different. ”

"You...... What did you hear?"

"Director Bong Joon-ho called me this morning. Kim Jong-ming flipped through the newspaper again. "He said he had written a film review for Chosun Ilbo, but it wasn't. ”

"Oh!" Ryu Dehwan became excited. "In other words, if the movie can stabilize its position tonight, then the film directed by Bong Joon-ho will naturally appear in tomorrow's newspaper...... "Chosun Ilbo" is cherishing feathers and not daring to bet, no wonder most of a film review is Jang Dong-jian babbling there a dozen times 'It's a pity' and the like, and their own reporter's words are almost none!"

"Perhaps. Kim Jong-ming nodded noncommittally, and then once again set his eyes on the modest film review of his film in the Chosun Ilbo.

Underneath the last paragraph of the film review, a line of small print stands out:

Han Wenzhu, a special correspondent of this newspaper, changed his manuscript twice while watching the movie, hoping to analyze the film more deeply, and this is the first revised manuscript, which contains an exclusive interview with Mr. Zhang Dongjian. Tomorrow, the second draft will be released, which will include an interview with Mr. Jiang Dongyuan. There are also professional film reviews of famous directors, which will be released on the third day.

Stay tuned.

PS: There is also a book friend group 457160898, everyone add it. Some people say that I didn't understand the previous chapter, it's very simple, just look at the chapter titles.

Anyway, I wrote a good tangle recently, not Kavin, but so busy and tired, I don't sleep for six hours a day, and I feel like I'll die if I continue like this.

Finally, call on it, continue to help the chicken vote for some monthly tickets, and also, a classmate named Xiao Ming gave away 600 chapters, and those who didn't subscribe also received it. (To be continued.) )
