Chapter 344: This kind of film was actually sent for review
Internal Theater of the General Administration of Radio and Television.
Guo Sihong stretched his waist as if relieved, with a look of finally relief on his face.
He is a member of the Film Censorship Committee of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China, which is commonly known as the "reviewer" in the outside world, there are a total of 18 people with the same identity as him in the theater today, and the superiors will gather everyone together, usually to watch 2 or 3 films in a row, because there are more films submitted for review recently, everyone has to watch 4 movies in a row today.
The work of a reviewer may be very good in the eyes of many people, after all, you can see the blockbuster that many fans have been waiting for for a long time in advance, and you can also give your own review opinions, but in reality, the work experience of this work may not be as good as everyone thinks, in fact, in terms of the ratio of good and bad, the quality of the vast majority of the films submitted for review is not very good, or to put it more bluntly, it is extremely bad, and I watch such 3 to 4 super bad movies in a day, how can my personal feelings be so good?
After watching the movie, 18 people got together for an impromptu meeting, and then each person filled out a form, scored dozens of options on it, from 1 to 5 points, and finally calculated an average score and handed it to the bureau, and then the bureau conveyed it to the producer, and the bureau had to communicate with the producer after listening to the opinions, and finally decided whether to delete or change.
In other words, whether a film can pass the review and be released smoothly in the end, and whether it needs to be deleted or not, everyone here only has the right to suggest, and the final decision is still up to the bureau.
After filling out the form and handing it to the staff, the reviewers, with an average age of more than 60, began to complain about the content of this afternoon's work.
"I'm going to change my term in half a year, but it's a relief, I watch more than a dozen bad movies of this level every week, and I'm about to get that kind of depression or what kind of disease?"
"It's depression! Eh, I said Lao Zhang, no one who has depression has you to get depression, you are the best in our group! ”
"This can't just look at the surface, I heard that patients with depression really look the most lively and cheerful ones on the surface, but in fact they may just be currying favor with the outside world!"
"Yo, you really understand?"
"So Lao Zhang Ling is currying favor with us?"
"Hey! That's right! ”
"Hahaha!"
Then there was a burst of laughter in the theater, which finally dispelled the depression caused by watching 3 super bad movies in a row in the afternoon.
Guo Sihong hammered his old waist again, and a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He suddenly thought of his little granddaughter, who had just turned 8 years old.
In recent years, Guo Sihong himself often doubted his education methods when he was young, and wondered if he was really too strict with his son at that time.
The granddaughter's favorite movie is "Frozen" created with Liu Yifei as the character prototype, toys and clothes with related themes at home are piled up all over the house, and every time she participates in the review work in the bureau, the granddaughter will rush over with anticipation and ask: "Has Grandpa's latest film from Manwu Animation Studio been submitted for review?" Whenever this happens, Guo Sihong will look at his granddaughter dotingly and shake his head with regret.
"It doesn't matter if you don't, the better the movie, the more time it takes to create, just like when we study, if we want to achieve the best academic results, we usually have to spend more time learning the knowledge points taught to us by the teacher, although I am in a hurry, but I have the patience to wait."
A single sentence can often make the whole room instantly full of laughter.
Listening to the immature and serious words of the little granddaughter, Guo Sihong's whole heart was about to melt, that is, from then on, he began to look forward to reviewing this granddaughter's long-awaited latest animated film directed by Li Mu every day before the change of the current committee.
To tell the truth, although the little granddaughter loves "Frozen" to death, Guo Sihong himself doesn't think that film is so good.
Maybe technically speaking, the "Frozen" has indeed reached the pinnacle, but just from the plot of the film, Guo Sihong feels that there must be excellence, but to say how amazing it is, Guo Sihong really doesn't think it.
However, I heard that the global box office of that film has reached $8 billion at the global box office, and even won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and the Oscar for Best Original Music.
Just when everyone was hurrying to rest, the staff of the bureau suddenly announced a good news to everyone with a happy face, about the last movie to be reviewed today:
"As for the first 3 films, the quality may not be very good, the judges have worked hard, but what about the next film, I guarantee that the judges will definitely gain a very good viewing experience, and sweep away the fatigue caused by the previous 3 films."
This staff member is very familiar with all the reviewers, how to say it? The little girl is a little eccentric, just last week, it was clear that it was a very bad film to be reviewed, but the little girl was stunned and said that it would definitely impress everyone, but what was the result?
It's really impressive, but it's just a rotten impression.
"Xiao Liu, I remember you said the same thing last Thursday, what was the result?"
"Mr. Zhang, you are going through the old accounts again, I haven't watched the film in advance, how do you know that the movie will be so boring, I also watched the production team of the film is quite famous, and I saw that everyone's morale was a little low at the time, so ...... Who would have thought that such a big director could make such a bad movie! In the future, I will no longer dare to say that it is a good film just by looking at the production team. ”
"Won't you do it in the future? So what are you doing now? How can you be sure that today's last film will definitely be a good one? ”
"How can you be sure? It's very simple, the production team of this next film is not simple! ”
As soon as the words ended, the whole theater suddenly burst into laughter.
This girl just said that after that, she will no longer just look at the production team and conclude that it is a good film, but the result - this has not passed a minute!
Guo Sihong looked at Xiao Liu and imagined what his granddaughter would look like when she grew up, so he was in a very good mood, and then he also answered: "The last time I watched the production team, I packed the ticket and said that it must be a good film, but it overturned, this time you dare to rely on the team alone to assert that it will definitely let our group of old guys gain a very good movie-watching experience?" ”
The laughter in the theater became more intense, and everyone had to see what else the girl had to say.
"Yes, I dare!"
Unexpectedly, this time this Xiao Liu really dared to pat his chest with confidence and promise, and everyone at the scene couldn't help but be more curious.
"Yo, Xiao Liu looks very confident this time!"
"There are too many things about big directors overturning, even director Zhang Yimou can make very bad movies, I am curious which production team's work this time can make you so confident in them."
"Shouldn't it be a Huashang film? If so, it's worth looking forward to. ”
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke.
Almost everyone got serious now.
"Not all Huashang movies are good movies, but all Huashang movies are really very popular."
"Now if you have to mention a certain director and you can conclude that it must be a good film, it may be Li Mu, no one but Li Mu."
"It can't really be a movie directed by Li Mu himself, right?"
"Probably not, his latest movie has only been on for a few days?"
A group of old men with an average age of more than 60 years old suddenly exchanged ears.
That Xiao Liu didn't continue to sell Guanzi, but said directly: "It's the latest movie directed by Li Mu, how about it, can you arouse the interest of the review teachers this time?" ”
With a buzz, the theater suddenly became lively, and a group of sixty or seventy-year-old old men and women were really excited.
"It's really fake, the last film is really a film directed by Li Mu himself?"
"Xiao Liu, don't lie to us."
"Li Mu's movies must have been missed, especially his "The Martian", which is really in line with our Chinese national culture, even if you go to Mars, you have to farm, hahaha!"
"Young people like Li Mu's "Inception" the most, but I think "Send You a Little Red Flower" starring him and Liu Yifei is the most touching."
"Li Mu is good, although I can't enjoy some movies, but I appreciate this young man very much."
"Xiao Liu, don't sell it, let's talk about it, which is the next movie."
At this time, I saw Xiao Liu clear his throat and said: "The next movie is indeed a film directed by Li Mu himself, but everyone may be a little disappointed in the subject matter, the next one is an animated film, co-directed by Li Mu and Director Tian Xiaopeng, by the way, Director Tian Xiaopeng is also one of the assistant directors of "Frozen". ”
"Animated films?"
"It can't be the "Dream Travel", right?"
"I've seen relevant news before, and looking at the name, it's probably an ordinary dream-seeking movie, but since it's Li Mu's movie, even if it's an ordinary dream-seeking theme, the effect may not be wrong."
While arranging the broadcast of the last film, Xiao Liu nodded and responded: "That's right, the title is indeed "Dream Travel". ”
Hearing that the atmosphere that had just risen because I heard that it was Li Mu's latest movie cooled down a little, but on the whole, everyone was still quite happy.
Although everyone is not too interested in animated films, after all, this is an animated film directed by Li Mu himself, and the quality is much better than the 3 films just reviewed anyway, right? It's worth looking forward to.
Among this group of people, only Guo Sihong is in a super good mood.
I have been looking forward to it, and I finally gave Li Mu's latest animated movie here, and I don't know if my granddaughter will come over to ask her if she has reviewed Li Mu's latest animated movie like before, and I don't know what her granddaughter's reaction will be when she smiles and nods.
"You don't think I'm lying to her?"
"When she knows that her grandfather really saw the latest animated movie directed by Li Mu, will she pester me to tell her the plot of the movie in advance, or will she seriously ask me not to give her spoilers in advance?"
pestering grandpa to talk about it in advance, although it can satisfy curiosity, but then there will be no novelty after the movie is actually released.
However, in any case, compared to the boring and lethargic review of the first three films, the review process of this fourth film will finally not feel more tormented.
Without further ado, the main lights in the theater were turned off, and the big screen was lit up again, and the fourth movie to be reviewed today finally officially began to play.
At the beginning of the movie, the story of the little protagonist MiG's great-nurse and her parents was introduced in the way of traditional Chinese paper-cutting.
Great-great-grandfather went to pursue his dream of music, never to go back, great-great-grandma by making shoes for people to support the whole family strongly, and raised her daughter Coco alone, that is, the great-grandmother Coco of the little protagonist MiG.
Music has broken up this family, and shoes have condensed this home again, and since then music has become a taboo and curse for the family, and making shoes is the fate of the family, but the little protagonist MiG was born with a dream about music.
After reading the beginning, almost everyone in the entire theater slowly frowned.
In terms of plot, this is obviously a very ordinary dream-seeking animated movie, the little protagonist wants to pursue the dream of music, but is not recognized by the family due to the historical reasons of the family.
You don't have to think about it to know that the little protagonist will definitely have to complete his musical dream in the end, the plot is a bit old-fashioned, not to mention surprises, but the victory is that the production is good enough, and the characters are lifelike, so it will not disappoint.
The reason why everyone is frowning is not because of the plot of the movie, but because of the identity of the characters.
is obviously a Chinese movie, but the background of the story was placed in Mexico by Li Mu, and I don't know what Li Mu thinks.
Even if the story is set in the United States, everyone will not be surprised, after all, North America is still the world's largest movie box office, and an animated film with an investment of up to $150 million has taken the North American market as a must at the beginning of production, which is understandable, but the question is why Mexico?
Guo Sihong was also a little disappointed with the film, in fact, he himself was fine, but he was worried that his granddaughter would be very, very disappointed after seeing the film in the future.
But it's not all bad news, at least the characters in the film are quite in line with Guo Sihong's personal aesthetics, not typical white characteristics, but more close to the appearance of Chinese people.
The movie continues, the family smashed the guitar that MiG secretly made, and the family conflict escalated, and later MiG found that the guitar on the family altar photo was the one used by the god of song, so he guessed that the god of song Dracus was his great-great-grandfather.
It all made sense at once.
