Chapter 1023: For Bieber
Peter Kopla's offensive is very fierce, although the atmosphere in the American film industry is not bad, but when it comes to the box office, no one will be merciful, the key is that Cheng Xiaoyu is really easy to handle, a foreigner who can almost be said to have no foundation in the Hollywood film industry, who is not black?
Of course, "Universal" and Staven Bell are not easy to offend, but the Hollywood Six also have to maintain the stability of this circle, this kind of battle between directors on the table, they are embarrassed to intervene, it all depends on the director's personal social skills, simply put, we children fight, you adults don't care, although this is also Peter Copla's shameless bullying of juniors, but Cheng Xiaoyu's foundation in the United States is too shallow.

Unlike "Horror Movie", which did not have too many professional film critics paying attention, under the impetus of Peter Kopla, the number of professional film critics who wrote film reviews for "The Grim Reaper" has skyrocketed, and they are all very famous film critics, but most of them are biased and negative.....
"The Grim Reaper is Coming" has not been released for a week, Peter Koprah's good friend, Pauline Kyle, a well-known film critic known for his sharp style, published a film review of "The Grim Reaper", she mainly writes film reviews for "New.Yorker", and "New.Yorker" has always been known for ridicule, sarcasm, and irony.
Pauline Kyle can be said to be an out-and-out poisonous film critic, as long as it is an opinion that others easily accept, she will most likely question it. Her writing is full of passion and personal tendencies, and she writes about her favorite films far less enjoyable than she hates them, and she is naturally a pleasure to read.
Her review of "New. Yorker" ridiculed Cheng Xiaoyu and his "Death is Coming", although the full text did not mention Peter Copra's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4".
"I smiled and smiled brightly. This movie gave me a glimpse of such a tangled and boring Grim Reaper. I've been using my brain too much lately, and I don't dare to think about fate and anything like that in the same way as many comments, so I have to guess that this Grim Reaper is just boring.
First of all, the Grim Reaper is dedicated. The damned ones must be killed, and those who run away by accident must go back to make up for them, and they must be killed in the order planned. Conscientious and methodical, the Grim Reaper is a god worthy of our respect from this point of view.

There's no denying that director Cheng Xiaoyu and Justin Bieber are both handsome, but does it deserve an IMDB score of 8.9?
Can it be on the same level as "The Exorcist" and "Alien"? Horror film master William Gert's coffin board can't be pressed. ”
Then "Hollywood Observer" released a film review of the well-known film critic Andrew Sweet, who belongs to the more mainstream film critics, and he publishes a book every year "Andrew's. Movie.Guide", is a popular guide to reading, his voice can basically represent the voice of the mainstream media, and can basically objectively evaluate a movie, of course, this is the evaluation of others, although the profession of film critic itself is quite subjective.
Compared with Pauline Kyle's film review, this film review is relatively fair, he didn't say how bad Cheng Xiaoyu's "Death is Coming", just said that "Death is Coming" really can't score 8.9, and he can score 7.0 here, which belongs to a horror movie that is not very scary, so he doesn't feel what it's like to be scared at all.
By the way, he criticized IMDB's rating for being completely informative, and then touted the acting skills of Douglas and Catherine in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", saying that after watching this film, I was sweating all over, which made people immersive.
In the end, he also complained about "The Grim Reaper", the fans' behavior of brushing points is not commendable, completely ignoring a large number of malicious brushes for "The Grim Reaper", this perfect Spring and Autumn brushwork, it seems that no one has offended, but in fact, it is praising "De 4" and depreciating "Death"......
It is not without impartial film critics, such as Roger Albert, who was the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for writing film reviews, and the only film critic to leave a star on the Walk of Fame, and was also named the most influential critic in the United States by Forbes, and the film critic who most often appeared on movie posters or DVD sleeves, and he was also very influential in the film critic world.
The biggest feature of his film reviews is that the style of writing is plain, the words are very simple, and there is a bit of a taste of chatter between friends. He gives the film a maximum of four stars and a half-star for the worst, and he doesn't give the film a 0 star rating unless it's "artistically.inept" or "morally.repugnant". He described his film reviews as "relative, notabsolute" because he emphasized that it was meaningless to look at the stars without reading his reviews.
He gave "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" three stars, but the evaluation was "The movie achieved the purpose of the original shooting, which does not mean that the movie itself is worth recommending", he gave "The Grim Reaper is Coming" three and a half stars, and the evaluation was "The first forty minutes are very good, the back is a little vulgar, the director failed to dig deep into the potential, many small details are worth savoring, good popcorn movie ......."
In Roger Albert, impartiality is basically guaranteed, but the focus of the media that is biased towards American directors is different, saying that Roger Albert's score can be said to be the final conclusion for the scoring behavior of "The Grim Reaper", but the actual situation is that "The Grim Reaper" has been invited by Peter Kopla's water army, and it has been brushed to 7.9 points.......
In the midst of all the singing and declining, the prospect of "The Grim Reaper" made everyone feel a little worried.......
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care, he didn't invite the water army at all, because he didn't need it, Justin Bieber's crazy fans are more dedicated than the water army, and on IMDB, he brushed up with the water army invited by Peter Kopla, you brush one point, I will brush ten points, this is called "The Grim Reaper" page has a neat picture of one point and ten points alternately.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't fail to see the film reviews of these professional film critics, but he didn't care at all, he made these movies just to make money, so naturally he didn't need to pay attention to these "professional film critics", but he didn't expect that the famous Roger Albert was involved in the whirlpool, scored and wrote film reviews.
In Cheng Xiaoyu's opinion, he is very fair, although he gave "De 4" three stars, but in the film review, he has made it clear that he does not support watching the movie, and the comment for "Death is Coming" is indeed a good "popcorn movie", this is a kind of praise, but the media's favorite thing to do is one-sided reporting, which distorts the original intention.....
For Cheng Xiaoyu, being able to cause controversy as an insignificant director like him is a success, and as for word-of-mouth, the audience is not a film critic......
As he expected, it seems that these negative reviews did not have much impact on "The Grim Reaper", and when the host of "Weekly Movie Box Office Rankings" interviewed these moviegoers at the door of the New York theater, most of the bustling audience was young people, and most of them were girls, and it was normal for girls to love watching horror movies.
The host stopped a group of young Latino girls and asked, "What movie are you watching?"
A group of girls said in unison: "I came to support Justin Bieber, we are all from immigrant families, and we are all touched by his perseverance, so we came to the cinema to support him....."
The host asked again: "Then do you think the movie is good?"
"Very good-looking, didn't disappoint me at all....."
Then another group of girls walked into the movie theater together, and were queuing up to buy tickets, and the host stepped forward and asked, "Hey, girls, which movie do you choose to watch?"
"Of course, 'Death is Coming'. ”
"Can you tell me why?"
"For Bieber!"
During the host's interview, there happened to be a couple arguing at the door of the movie theater, and the host hurriedly walked up with the photographer and asked, "Hey, can you tell me why you are arguing?"
The boy turned his head to look at the beautiful host and said, "I want to watch "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4", and my girlfriend has to watch "Death is Coming", ......"
The girl said, "Why did you take me to see those disgusting plasma movies when you know I hate them the most.....? You retweeted a still of her on 'Drizzle' and said she was sexy, didn't you?"
"Didn't you come to see that bad boy from Justin Bieber? Do you think I didn't know you told Selena that he was smitten about you?"
"It's for Bieber..... You just say which movie you watch, if you don't accompany me to watch "The Grim Reaper", we will break up....."
"Cut...... You're going to break up with me for an idol?"
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4 and I ..... Which one do you choose?"
"Of course it's you......"
"Then why don't you go buy a ticket?"
After watching this farce, the hostess shrugged her shoulders and held up the microphone and said: "Maybe I already know why "Death is Coming" can be successful....... the data of the first week of "Death is Coming" surprised all of us, the box office of 15 million on Thursday alone, the second place "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" 34 million box office, 10 million box office.
In other words, this film, which cost 25 million, basically completed the task of capital preservation in the first week, which is less than two months after Cheng Xiaoyu's small-budget "Horror Movie" created a box office miracle, and the Asian director is making a comeback again, and it seems that he is going to create a miracle again......."
Box office analysts expect the box office to reach at least 350 million to 400 million, which is about the same as "De 4", as soon as this data came out, the American media were stunned, Cheng Xiaoyu used two small-budget productions to make the American director speechless, although the box office of "De 4" is expected to be 350 million to 400 million, but what is the cost of De 4? 140 million, which is seven times the cost of "Death is Coming", which caused a violent shock in the Hollywood film circle, and they couldn't understand how this Chinese did it.
