“Goodbye，Film-Criticism.

Hello，Movie-Talk.”

In the school library, Nina was reading The-Death-of-Film-Criticism on her laptop screen, her mouth moving slightly. When she finished reading, she pulled up the web page and glanced at it a few times, and then looked at the "Twilight Zone" on the desk, and there was a trace of loss in her eyes.

Not closer, just farther and farther away.

But... There's a question, who can? Is there really a girl of the same age?

"What a nerdy guy. ”

......

"The Death of Film Critics" completely detonated this war of words, and the media who paid attention to it were in an uproar, more because of its views than the quality of the article, one of which was that the Internet fueled the arrogance and stupidity of the public, and killed film critics and other things, Ye Wei also agreed that the regression of the audience's quality led to the decline of the movie, although he also had an affirmation of "good commercial films", etc., which is really the tone of an intellectual, but VIY has always been known for being down-to-earth.

Many Weihei grabbed this as a black spot, but many Weimi and fans said that they saw a fan hero, a true heart that has not yet decayed!

The media said that Ye Wei has the legacy of the old era of controversy, but now is the era when Pauline Kyle and Susan Sontag have both died, and it is okay for Lou Ramnick and others to fight a war of words, and it will not be accompanied if it rises to such a serious and in-depth level, talk about SS, talk about SS, and talk about the living conditions of the film critics.

However, Owen Graeberman, who was ridiculed miserably, stood up and said in the "New York Times": "Ye Wei's words are his attitude, the American film critics industry has a clear division of labor and a stable structure, and I believe that in another ten or twenty years, film critics will not die." ”

What Greyman said is actually two different things, Ye Wei's point of view is of course not that there will be no more film reviews and good movie reviews from one day on, but that the influence of film reviews is declining day by day, which is a recognized fact, and in the end no one reads it, and the living space is so small that it is no different from death.

The New York Times interviewed David Bordwell, a well-known scholar, admitted: "Academia and film critics are facing a crisis, and in the future, the conversation about cinema will be filled with the Internet, and film critics will die sooner or later, and people will only repeat their preferences." ”

Bordwell's influence in the academic world is not comparable to Ye Wei, and his old man's remarks immediately caused a big stir in the academic community, and the film critics did not allow them to be presumptuous. This war of words turned into a fierce battle in the knowledge circle over the question of whether film critics would die.

But the general public is really not interested, but the secrets are not so concerned, because Ye Wei is no longer involved, he said on Facebook: "I have said what I want to say now, and I am making a movie with all my heart!" As Ye Wei stopped the war, the SS war of words gradually ended, leaving behind a controversy that will not end for a long time.

It's hard to win or lose a war of words, but Ye Wei's gain of the upper hand is obvious to all, especially when a group of mainstream film critics such as Roger Albert, Anthony Lane (3/4, "The New Yorker"), "the most mediocre film critic" Richard Colliss (4/5, Time Magazine), Stephanie Zaclark (3/4, "Salon") and other mainstream film critics have given belated praise. Even Betsy Sharkey, another film critic of the Los Angeles Times, posted a 3/4 film review on the Internet, which is no longer a "great shame", but "makes people cry with a wry smile." ”

Although some film critics were ridiculed by Ye Wei miserably, they are professional film critics after all, and they are scolded and scorned many times a year, and it is the most stupid thing to engage in personal grudges, Ye Wei still has two movies this year. In addition to separating from the "bad film critic", this is not a kind of counterattack against Ye Wei.

The victor Ye Wei seems to have lost something, and the column "VIY said" is closed!

This astonishing news is a bolt from the blue for the columnists, how can it be written well?

Many fans expressed regret and retention on Ye Wei's social networking site: "I have spent more than two years with your column, can't I continue?", "I still remember your "Death of Film", which was not a column at that time. "This news makes me so uncomfortable that people who can't buy LAT probably won't understand what it's like to read an idol's column in the newspaper while eating breakfast on a Monday morning, which is like a ritual at the beginning of the week. ”......

In this Internet era, VIY said that it is indeed the reason why many young people still read newspapers. Although the closure of "VIY said" will not have an impact on the overall sales of LAT, it is inevitable that it will decline, and LAT, who has lost the popularity column of the movie version, posted on the official website to express his regret and thank Ye Wei for the 133 issues of the column serialization.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Ye Wei's readers are not only a group, many readers of "All-Dead" do not read his columns.

This online serialized apocalyptic novel has been updated intermittently for 26 chapters, tense and suspenseful, full of characters, and often has black humor that is rare in similar works, Ye Wei also drew some characters and illustrations by himself, so it has a certain popularity. However, the update speed is slow, and the time is not fixed, and recently Ye Wei also said that there will be no update before W'sB is completed.

But now that "VIY said" is closed, he doesn't have to spend time writing a column every week, what does he do with that spare time? "All-Dead" fans shouted the slogan "All-Time!" All-Dead!”

It's not just them who are eyeing Ye Wei's time, fans of the "VIY Shoot" channel on YouTube are also very anxious: "When will a new video be released?" The last video was "Polar Bear's Greetings to Humans", which became popular all over the world in August, and I was really afraid that he would suddenly announce that the VIY channel would also be closed.

VIY's biggest fan base is, of course, the movie star side, and the comments are pouring in: "Entertainment News said that "Saturday Night Live" invited you to be a guest performer, but you refused!"Why?", "If you don't write a movie review, I won't write it, I look forward to seeing you participate in a variety show!Consider considering "Dancing with the Stars"?", "I recommend "The Amazing Race", the 11th season is about to start filming!", "Do you have the courage to record a Comedy Central Tucao Conference!?"

"The Death of a Film Critic" was not cared about, and the intellectuals sighed.

But I also want to see him as a guest on a talk show......
