Compared to the journalists who prefer hype, professional film critics have a much more serious attitude towards the movie "Fatal Bend".

"When I watched it for the first time, I thought it was a qualified plasma film, the director's rendering of the horror atmosphere and the rhythm of the movie were very good, and the performances of the actors were still in place. If I hadn't watched it a second time later, I would have given it a pretty good rating. ”

Film critic Kenneth Turan has always commented on commercial films. He seems to have paid special attention to the film "Fatal Bend" because of Allen's case before, so he immediately issued a comment after its release,

"And after watching it a second time, I have to say that it was a real surprise. I agree with Dr. Cooper that this should be a miracle created by chance, maybe it was just an accidental discovery by Mr. Cinematographer, maybe it was a casual wave of the god of cinema, we should hurry up and watch this movie while the miracle is still there......"

"Kenneth Turan has a really high rating!"

Charlize sighed as he sat at his table and read a film review in the newspaper.

"His asking price is not low. ”

Charlotte shook her head disapprenousively,

According to Westwood, he not only paid a check for this, but also put on a couple of bottles of good wine that he had never drunk. ”

"Is it a good review that you paid for?"

Charlize was a little surprised.

It's not that the girl doesn't understand the darkness behind Hollywood, but she has never encountered this kind of high-level behind-the-scenes transaction from the perspective of an actor before.

"It's not good to buy a good review. ”

Charlotte was open-minded about it, neither cynical nor overly serious. He explains,

"For these critics, it's just a matter of going along the boat. If the movie is not well received after it is released, they will criticize it as much as they want, and they will not take the money at all. ”

"What if the response is good?"

Then they'll say a few nice words and make a good tip. ”

"So don't they just take advantage and don't take risks?"

Charlize was a little indignant, but Charlotte didn't care much,

"That's the benefit of having a voice. If you had the chance, you might do the same. If you have that time to be surprised and indignant, you might as well hurry up and read other movie reviews. For example, this-"

As he spoke, he handed a newspaper to Charlize's eyes, and the girl looked at it and unconsciously showed a reassuring smile.

"Charlize Theron's performance in "Fatal Bend" is remarkable, although for a horror movie, the heroine seems to be able to scream as long as she is beautiful, but it has to be said that Miss Theron's performance still exceeded expectations. Especially after watching the magical second time, you will find that every micro-expression of her can secretly match this hidden plot......"

"This Richard Manson has always liked to comment on the actor's performance, and you can see that he is very happy with your performance. ”

"Really?"

Charlize wasn't happy about it,

"You should know that part of the performance is actually ......"

"Alexis?"

Charlize nodded.

"Doesn't that give you the direction to work on?"

Charlotte comforted Charlize and read another movie review -

"Charlotte Booth is simply violent creatures, Charlize Theron is as beautiful and sexy as a Venus born from the foam of the waves, but under his lens, this Venus can only run around in disgrace......"

"This is Bonnie Clyde, a film critic under the pseudonym of the male and female thieves, who is a veteran face control who cares more about the beauty of the actors in the movie than the quality of the film. ”

Speaking of this, Charlotte raised her hands and made a gesture of quotation marks in her ear,

To her, it seems that you have been "defiled" by me. ”

“......”

Charlize reacted by kicking him directly, but was blocked by Charlotte and grabbed the slender jade leg that was exposed in his hand.

"Roger Albert, AKA Thumb Man, hasn't that guy commented on Fatal Bend yet?"

Letting his legs be caressed by Charlotte's hands, Charlize blushed slightly, but his mouth was concerned about another question.

Roger Albert, because he likes to use the description of one or two thumbs up to evaluate the quality of movies, is nicknamed the thumb man by Charllotz.

The 1975 Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic has a Tarzan-like influence among film critics across the country. Even though Charlize doesn't read film reviews often, he knows his name. If he gives a bad review, it will definitely be a big blow to the box office behind "Fatal Bend".

He hadn't commented yet, the old man had always been slow. ”

Charlotte naturally knows Roger Albert's name, but unlike Charlize, he is not particularly worried about this issue.

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much about the critics' comments — for those complex literary films, or dazzling action films, audiences may need the help of critics to distinguish which ones are bad and which ones are worth watching. But for genre films with a very fixed audience such as horror films, the influence of film critics is actually limited. ”

"For horror movie-goers, they often don't need the opinion of a critic to guide them. In fact, most film critics don't appreciate horror movies very much. Since Hitchcock, they have rarely given high marks to horror and thriller films, even Kubrick's "The Shining" is no exception. ”

"In other words, film critics don't like horror movies very much, and audiences who like horror themes don't care too much about critics' evaluations?"

Charlize was a little incredulous about Charlotte's claims.

But Charlotte, who has experienced the future Internet era, knows that in ten years, the authority system of film critics will gradually collapse, and there will even be a situation where the lower the critics give low scores, the more the film will sell at the box office. And now, in the field of horror films, a genre that critics hate, it seems to be beginning to show up.

Now, the reputation of "Fatal Bend" has actually been established among audiences, and with the promotion of the series of cases in Rians Valley, the box office of this film will not be too bad. What we really have to worry about behind is actually a few of our opponents. ”

"Opponent!?"

"Yes, a couple of formidable opponents!"
