On May 1, the box office results of the midnight show have not yet come out, and many film reviews about "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" have come out first.

Shen Zhenyi leaned on Wang Wei's arms to read movie reviews.

- Yesterday, because he had to expedite the filming of a key scene, Director Lu Le refused to let go, so Shen Zhenyi couldn't accompany Wang Wei to the premiere.

No, early in the morning, I had to accept Wang Wei's "punishment".

In short, when the "punishment" was over, the girl with a lazy style on her body glanced at Wang Wei coquettishly, and then began to flip through various movie reviews-

"It's a very stylish film."

The first film review made its purpose clear as soon as it came up.

Shen Zhenyi took a look and found that the author was Yang Lan, who had always been a supporter of her and Wang Wei, and couldn't help but smile.

"If you come to watch this movie with the intention of watching the story of a traditional talented and beautiful woman, then you will most likely be disappointed."

"Because the film abandons all established concepts when dealing with familiar ancient stories, and even ignores tradition – of course, there are no less traditional cultural elements: Chinese painting, martial arts, pairs, etc., which add a lot to the film; But at the same time, various postmodern techniques have emerged. ”

"This is precisely the biggest charm of this movie - using the relationship between modern people to deconstruct the traditional relationship, and using the cultural life of modern people to deconstruct the traditional cultural life, and smashing all the lofty and sanctimonious smashes!"

"Crambling in so much material without the slightest sense of disorganization, on the contrary, whether it is an almost completely subverted character image or an unexpected and logical reversal of the plot, it will make the audience easily accept and laugh from beginning to end."

"All this is not only the excellent performance of the actors, but also the result of the director's careful design. And this movie has such a well-designed ...... almost everywhere"

However, at the end of the film review, she couldn't help but make some complaints about Wang Wei-

"The only thing that makes me very dissatisfied is that the director 'mutilated' a lot of beauties in this movie, I just hope that he will not develop such a bad habit in the later movies, otherwise I will send him a blade on behalf of the fans......"

Seeing this, Shen Zhenyi chuckled, "It seems that our Yankong film critic lady has a lot of grievances against you!" ”

"It's fine." Wang Wei shrugged his shoulders, "Compared to other film critics, her 'dissatisfaction' is the mildest. ”

"It can't be that bad, right?"

Following Wang Wei's direction, Shen Zhenyi saw a thick stack of newspapers on her right, "You don't want to talk about ......"

"That's right, these are bad reviews!"

Shen Zhenyi turned her head again to look at the few good newspapers on her left: "......"

Wang Wei didn't seem to be very interested in the film critics' praise, but he thought that bad reviews were more interesting, so he picked up a film review on the right and read it-

"Even if a talented director transforms from one genre to shoot other subjects, he will shoot strange things, but this time I have seen it."

"This movie shouldn't lose all of its underwear, and it can even make a small profit - after all, this look shows that the investment is not large, and with the fan support accumulated by Wang Wei's previous films, it can return to its original cost."

"But it's definitely the most rubbish work Wang Wei has ever made, and it's even good-for-nothing, maybe it's going to be beautiful at the midnight box office, but then it's definitely a plummeting ending, and Wang Wei really fell under the spell of the Tianma Award for Best Director - no, I already start worrying about his future when I think he started making this film before he won the award......"

"That's too much!"

Shen Zhenyi angrily interrupted Wang Wei's reading of the newspaper.

As soon as she saw the columnist, she became even more angry, "Hasn't this film critic always supported your films?" Why did you turn your back on it so completely this time and collect the money, right? ”

Wang Wei pouted: "This is probably the way that love will disappear, right." ”

Shen Zhenyi ignored this guy's interruption, and opened another newspaper again-

"Wang Wei's movie is an adaptation of the movie, and the main plot of his grandfather's classic costume work "Three Smiles" is still retained, but the original talented and beautiful woman drama of Si Swenwen has been completely tampered with, and the whole movie has become vexatious."

"I doubt that Director Wang Da will be angry when he sees his movie being adapted into this ghostly way."

"It's doomed to be a shameful failure, Wang Wei burned out his brain to make such a movie, right? How aura he was when he made the first few films, how pathetic he was when he made this film...... He should be ashamed of this film! ”

Flip down again, and the film reviews in the back are more and more scathing-

"The plot is full of holes, the characters are crazy, I don't know what kind of story it's trying to tell, I just know that I'm completely untouched, joy, sadness, anger - not at all, well, anger is still there, because this more than an hour of torment has put my poor ass to the test......"

"To tell you the truth - I hate this movie, the ridiculous appearance, the exaggerated plot, the performance, I can't bear to look at it......"

"Congratulations to Wang Wei, who has finally entered the ranks of bad movie directors......"

"Maybe Wang Wei has burned all his talent in "The Silence of the Lambs", and this is just the beginning of his journey to mediocrity?"

If you ask Wang Wei to help them summarize, it is probably what a teacher surnamed Li said in another time and space: like sitting on pins and needles, like thorns in the back, like a fish in the throat.

Shen Zhenyi also sighed and muttered, "So, love will really disappear!" ”

- This is the film critic!

When they love you, their literary brilliance will turn into a colorful compliment, praising you and looking at themselves even higher than normal.

But these guys who like the new and hate the old will always abandon you when you don't expect it, and suddenly become extremely strict, and belittle your passable works; And those compliments that originally made your heart flutter suddenly turned into hollowing out and bitter criticism-

In Wang Wei's directorial career, film critics appeared with an angel face at the beginning, and they never spared their praise for this newcomer who was born out of nowhere, of course, this is also because it is indeed rare for a newcomer like Wang Wei to have a very mature directing style as soon as he debuts.

It can even be said that Wang Wei's ability to create a legend at the Tianma Awards at the beginning of the year is to some extent thanks to the tolerant attitude and unanimous praise of film critics.

But now, the feedback received by "Tang Bohu Dotting Autumn Fragrance" in the film critics industry is simply miserable, except for Yang Lan and a few other film critics who have praised it as always, most film critics have almost approved Wang Wei's new film as useless.

I don't know if someone is secretly fueling the trouble, this kind of criticism is not limited to this movie, and has even been extended to the Pegasus Awards ceremony at the beginning of the year.

- More than one critic is questioning, "With the level of Wang Wei's performance in this film, is he really qualified to make history?" ”

The only thing to be thankful for is that I don't know why the old man Xia Luo didn't say anything, otherwise with his full firepower, Wang Wei is afraid that he will be scolded for being bloody!

But Shen Zhenyi, who experienced that film critics were almost all bad reviews for the first time, still hung her heart, raised her head and asked: "Having said that, you really don't plan to respond to such a public opinion situation?" ”

Wang Wei was there, his hand slid down, and he threw out a sentence in the girl's gasping voice, "No need, the audience will help me respond." ”

……

"What a tragedy!"

The strongest competitor in the same schedule, Ma Kui, the director of "Aliens Roaming the Earth", does not think that the reputation of "Tang Bohu" has the possibility of saving.

Especially with his own films to compare on the side.

Compared with Wang Wei's treatment, most film critics have praised his sci-fi comedy -

"Full of unbridled imagination and philosophy, full of black humor, ironic and exquisite......"

"A farce caused by aliens and earthlings because of various misunderstandings, absurd, but full of irony......"

"It's rare to use the mix and match of science fiction and comedy elements to create a film with a considerable sense of contrast, which is also considered creative......"

"The sci-fi scene is convincing, the laughter is even, the plot logic is self-consistent, and this year is a very good comedy ......"

- Well, he admits that for the sake of publicity, the Chinese media stuffed money.

But so what?

It's not uncommon for film critics to pay for reviews, but that doesn't mean they speak with a clear conscience.

Well, that seems a bit hypocritical.

But for film critics, if the level of the movie itself is not good, even if the other party stuffs money, they will not accept it.

This is mainly for the sake of their credibility.

After all, the profession of film critic actually depends on fame to eat. They can't afford to ignore the reputation they live on for a small sum of money.

- Unless, unless, it's a sum of money large enough that they can retire directly.

Of course, the Chinese media would not make such a big splash, so it was unanimously praised by film critics, proving that Ma Kui's movie is indeed worthy of praise.

At the same time, it also proves that Wang Wei's movie is indeed surprisingly bad - otherwise, even if someone stuffs money to smear him, they will not be able to get such a consistent bad review.

To be honest, Ma Kui is quite curious, if he wasn't busy with publicity and couldn't get away, he really wanted to see in person what Wang Wei's comedy was rotten.

Of course, not being able to pull away doesn't prevent him from gloating-

Sometimes it's not a good thing to gain fame and fortune too early, but look at it now, no matter how bad they make a movie, they won't attract overwhelming criticism from film critics;

But when faced with a genius who is always creating miracles, film critics will be somewhat demanding. As long as you're not above average, you'll be belittled like garbage by them.

Ma Kui believes that he is not the only director who gloats over this - it is not the darkness of people's hearts, it is simply human nature.

Like him, a director of the comedy genre, it is almost impossible to ...... No, it's impossible to win the Pegasus Award;

It's just that Wang Wei, a hairy boy in his early twenties, relied on a thriller that should not be treated by the Tianma Awards, not only won the trophy smoothly, but also won several at once, which made people envious and jealous to the point of explosion.

Originally, he was not very happy that his movie and Wang Wei's new work were arranged on the same schedule, after all, the shadow of a famous tree, more than one famous director became cannon fodder under the light of this "genius".

But now, he just wants to sigh that the Chinese media is really too wise - what could be more interesting than debunking the undefeated myth of a genius?

……

"Wang Wei's myth of invincibility is shattered? Dude, you've only read the movie reviews in the newspaper, and haven't read the audience word-of-mouth survey, right? ”

Lin Yongqiang of Sky Cinema and a deputy manager were cruising in one of the largest theaters in the capital at this time.

The deputy manager has always been unsupportive of adding a film schedule to "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", and today when he saw the one-sided bad reviews in the newspaper, he couldn't help but come over to mock Lin Yongqiang's eyes.

However, Lin Yongqiang waved the questionnaire to the audience in his hand and felt that he had once again bet on the right treasure.

The reason for this confidence is mainly that the audience's reputation is completely different from the reputation of film critics.

"Why did you come to see this movie?"

This is a very common question in the film questionnaire.

Through the statistics of this problem, although it cannot be said to be completely accurate, it can roughly look at and evaluate the box office appeal of stars, the effect of the distributor's publicity, and the audience's reputation.

In terms of the answer to this question, "because the director is Wang Wei" was originally far ahead - this is normal, the first to support the movie must be fans - but with the passage of time, the proportion of "recommended by friends" is rising rapidly.

This is the word-of-mouth effect, and no precision marketing can compare to the power of word-of-mouth effect!

And why would the audience strongly recommend this movie?

Lin Yongqiang smiled and gave an example-

"I watched one in person yesterday, and I happened to encounter a very interesting thing, which is very revealing."

"About half an hour after the movie, a man sitting in front of me suddenly said to the girl next to him: You laugh and laugh, can you not slap my thigh when you laugh, can't you shoot yourself?"

"The woman sighed, I'm sorry, I made a mistake - I'm not afraid to say it, half of the audience at that time was amused by this dialogue."

"What's more interesting is that the man has a girlfriend, she followed and said, you just let the family shoot, you see how she laughs, how do you know where your legs are......"

The deputy manager was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What about later?" ”

Lin Yongqiang shook his head with a smile: "Later, of course, the girl who laughed stupidly didn't dare to slap other people's legs, so she plugged her mouth with popcorn instead, but soon the popcorn was squirted out by the next laugh, and the man couldn't stand it, and said why don't you continue to slap my legs......"

"Hahaha......"

The assistant manager couldn't help but laugh too.

Laughing and laughing, he couldn't laugh anymore.

- What this scene meant, he knew very well.

He is not a dogmatic film critic, or rather, including him, the management of any theater chain understands the greatest value of a comedy, which is laughter!

As long as it can make the audience laugh, even if the critics are all bad reviews, the box office can sell crazy just by relying on the word-of-mouth effect.

He was just about to say something when there was a sudden commotion in this theater, and someone was even shouting for an ambulance.

Both he and Lin Yongqiang's faces changed.

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Not long after, the store manager came over to report the emergency: "It's a little kid watching "Tang Bohu", eating popcorn while watching a movie, and under the laughter, he was accidentally choked, but fortunately, there are people around him who know how to rescue, otherwise I am afraid that a tragedy will happen!" ”

After the store manager finished speaking, he happily wiped a handful of sweat, no matter what, it was a tragedy to really kill someone.

He also gave a suggestion to the two bosses: "I think, should the company suggest that the audience who watches "Tang Bohu" should be at least a child audience, and limit the purchase of popcorn or something......

Hearing this, the assistant manager's first reaction was not to reprimand how ridiculous this suggestion was, but to lament in his heart - God, this time the film critics are afraid that they will collectively lose face!
