The war of words escalates!!

As soon as Ye Wei's "Five Jokes" came out, the voices of media followers were mixed, and many of them sighed: "Poor Owen Graeberman!"

Graeberman has been with Entertainment Weekly for 16 years, and as the chief film critic of this boring but illustrious magazine, he has seen a lot of storms and waves, but he really doesn't have many people who have been so openly ridiculed, and he did give SS a high A, praising it as "an incredibly touching surf of life." ”

The genius filmmaker told him to shut his mouth and roll aside, as if it was a shame to be praised by him.

People are looking forward to Greyman's response, and the first thing to see is the battle on Sunday the 15th.

There are new reports of this war of words on the entertainment pages of almost all print media, and on Ye Wei's side, seven jokes have been reprinted in large numbers, and on the film critics' side, film critics like the "New York Post" have blown up. Kyle Smith, another film critic of the New York Post, published a long article denouncing Ye Wei and similar phenomena: "It is precisely because of the stubborn narcissism of these people who make movies that bad movies are full of our eyeballs." ”

Smith is classifying Ye Wei, this kid scolds film critics when he makes bad movies and is criticized, the most immoral kind! 93% of the popularity naturally does not appear in his long article.

It's not just him, it's not just tabloids or tabloids, film critics from all walks of life who have been ridiculed by the crowd are increasingly joining the ranks of the crusade against Ye Wei.

USA Today's Claudia Pugh wrote that "Ye Wei's humor is in the wrong place, and his irrational attitude makes people speechless"; Michael Russell of The Oregonian hit back with the headline "Ye Wei mocks the film critics for highlighting its dangerous expansion"; and the Seattle Times' Moira McDonald, who has a previous image of Weimi, refutes his "realistic goodness is not a reason to praise a movie"......

Mainstream film critics work together to denounce a person, and the lack of voice makes it almost impossible for the parties to turn over. But now with the Internet, everything is more complicated, and the speed of print media really can't keep up with the rapid changes, but fortunately, there are online media watching the situation more closely!

Lu Ramnik, who twice scolded Ye Wei for being "shameless", updated the log on his newly opened Facebook, saying, "Ye Wei gave me a gift and asked me to say good things about his new movie!" He posted a set of photos, only to see that it was a 350 pound Pelikan fountain pen, the logo plate of the packaging box had not been torn, and a beautiful gift card was attached, on which Ye Wei's handwriting read: "To dear Lu, please use this pen to write a gorgeous movie review for me! Your friend VIY. ”

While "gorgeous" doesn't necessarily mean praise, it's undoubtedly a bribe......

It seemed that someone was pushing, and as soon as this log came out in the morning, it spread quickly on the Internet, and there was an uproar for a while. AOL, Yahoo News and other websites are scrambling to grab the headlines, and sites like FOX News, which have always disliked Ye Wei, also reported and criticized for the first time, Ye Wei was embarrassed this time!

This kind of industry scandal is rare, but it is not the first time it has happened, but it is rare, if not all, that it has happened to talented filmmakers and well-known film critics.

It's usually a young actor who tries to bribe film critics, begging "even if you scold the movie, please agree with my performance", "praise me a few more words" and so on. No star will do this, only those brainless little actors who don't have a public relations and brokerage team, don't understand ecology and are nervous about their achievements will do it on their own, hoping that their careers will rise but always bury themselves.

Because for film critics, this is a rare opportunity to be a hero to show justice, whether it is out of sincerity or fame, it will always be exposed and scolded for bribe-givers.

It's a scandal for those who give bribes, but it's good news for those who refuse to take bribes!

What kind of identity does Ye Wei have, what kind of brain, and how do he do such a stupid thing!

Great! The only blacks who were just about to evacuate immediately rushed out, standing on various news comment boards and social networking sites, standing on the moral high ground, counting Ye Wei's shameless, dirty, and hypocritical behavior: "Now that everyone knows the reason, the little thing is annoyed and angry." "VIY, you can shut up, you're an idiot. "Scolding the film critics while giving gifts, what a hypocrite, hehe. "If Ye Wei is a joke, it is also a failure joke that is not funny at all. ”......

The only secrets who were about to declare the victory were shocked and embarrassed, that is, VIY's handwriting and signature, which the public is not unfamiliar with, because many of his original drawings and manuscripts have been exposed. But why is that? When is this a thing? Is this within the normal scope of PR?

In the face of conclusive evidence, it is difficult for everyone in the VIY camp to refute, and many people can't accept it, especially SS is a sunny and inspirational movie.

This incident made the wind on the Internet take a sharp turn, denouncing Ye Wei, ridiculing, questioning that he was not the first time to do it, so the genius has a water, and expressed disappointment...... The VIY camp suddenly collapsed, hoping that the spokesman would have a good explanation and not let the stain be so ugly.

The online media are scrambling to report it, and it is foreseeable that tomorrow's print media will definitely report the same: "Ye Wei tried to bribe New York Times film critic Lou Ramnick!"

"The Death of a Film Critic" can't be published? The eighth joke alive!

What are you kidding!? This is undoubtedly the first reaction of Ye Wei's relatives and friends after learning the news, it must be imitation of handwriting, but Ramnick dares to say this and it is unlikely to be framed, what's going on?

Lionsgate was equally surprised, how could there be such a thing? Public relations is not such public relations, even those Golden Globe Award judges and film critics, it is no longer possible to give gifts and invite travel, and last year someone died because of a few bottles of beer.

And because the box office of commercial films has nothing to do with the evaluation of the film critics, spending money there is no other use than spending money, and it is not as effective as a TV commercial, so commercial films, especially blockbusters, never care about praise and scolding, but only collect box office; literary films are the foundation of the film critics' circles, and their readers and industries are not fools, and those notorious "film critics" will only be spurned by fans and removed from the film critics' circles.

For example, Shawn-Edwards, who is a film critic for the Fox4 news show Kansas-City, but he can't be found on Rotten Tomatoes, and he doesn't appear under the Metacritic reviewer entry. People accuse him of being a PR for the film distributor, and maybe he didn't even write those short review sentences. For this reason, Edward has been crowned the "Advertising Machine of the Year" by eFilmCritic many times, not to mention the film critic, the film critic's career is actually over.

Sean Edward, David Manning and others can only deceive ordinary viewers who are not familiar with the film critics at all, rarely read film reviews, and occasionally encounter positive advertisements that increase their interest.

On the contrary, Owen Graeberman is complained about all day long, and being teased by Ye Wei has nothing to do with film critics, and he is still a film critic whose legitimacy is recognized.

What is a film's public relations for the critics? That's public opinion. An independent film usually starts at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and if it succeeds, it has a lot of momentum before its release, as "Half Nielsen" did this year, building prestige through multiple film festivals, and it is not good for critics to praise it and not send it to the awards season.

The so-called film critics industry is also divided into factions, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc., different associations, different styles, and every year there are some differences and battles in various film critics association awards. The review and public relations of a movie cannot be done by buying one or two film critics, nor can it be done by buying one or two ten, and it can become a scandal and be ruined at any time.

Ye Wei knew this! He clearly tried to see that the packaging of the DVD couldn't even be used in a wooden box, so he would give a Baileygold fountain pen? It was impossible for him to do such a stupid thing even if he smoked marijuana.

Just as Lionsgate was about to issue a press spokesperson to do crisis public relations, he received a mysterious notice......

That afternoon, TMZ made a startling announcement that it contacted Lou Ramnik to find out more, but Ramnik expressed his suspicions: "That's not me, I haven't opened Facebook yet." "Facebook has only been open for a month, and it's still new for students to play Facebook.

That's not Lou Ramnik?

Who's that!?

TMZ reporters noticed a detail that had not been noticed before, the information of "Lou Ramnick" did not claim to be a "film critic of the New York Post", but a film critic of the goodandbadFilmCritic.com, and when he opened this website, which was suspicious when he heard it, there were only a few lines of text information:

【Soul-Surfer-is-a-gorgeous-film，VIY-is-a-good-man. (Original-Score:4/4)

――Lou-Lumenick，goodandbadFilmCritic.com】

What the hell is "Lou Ramnick" is the most obvious prank, it may be anyone behind it, but how can he have Ye Wei's handwritten gift card?

TMZ was stunned, and the media were also shocked, and the news with question marks was updated on various websites. It was a lot of unsettled, and by the evening, many people realized that there had been a few changes, and it was as foggy as Hitchcock's films.

Just when things were in a mess, the situation was shockingly reversed!

"Ramnick" even posted another diary, "Thank you VIY for the gift, you are a good person and the movie!", he posted a photo of himself and Ye Wei, not the middle-aged man Lu Ramnick! A young man with a simple smile, he also posted his driver's license, and his real name is Lou-Lumenick, a native of Springfield, Missouri......

The brains of the darkers are buzzing...... So this whole thing is Ye Wei's prank?
