Chapter 453 It's Useless to Give Money

In fact, giving red envelopes is the norm in the industry.

Although the influence of film critics is getting weaker and weaker, this group of people may not be able to push up a bad movie, but it is relatively easy to want bad things.

However, this is only for ordinary film critics, such as those well-known film critics, and those authoritative media, and they are more ethical in this regard.

In other words, the well-known film critics who are really influential at the moment are relatively virtuous in this regard.

Because this is the magic weapon they depend on for survival.

They may be ashamed to belittle a movie because they received a red envelope, but they will never applaud a bad movie because of the red envelope.

Although in many cases, many film critics would not refuse the red envelope gifts issued by film investors, but there are exceptions.

Those more authoritative film critics, if the film is good enough, they will naturally not reject it.

But if they refuse, then this is a very bad sign.

Because these professional and authoritative film critics also cherish feathers. If the movie is not bad, they will not be stingy in praising it, but if the movie is really not good, then they will naturally not ruin their reputation because of a movie.

After all, red envelopes can be won for a while, but what they live on is their reputation.

Among them, Lin Jun, the big star in the film critic circle, made Fan Wencheng feel a little lost and heavy.

His attitude made Fan Wencheng's heart drop to the bottom.

Although it is said that even big names in the film critics like Lin Jun sometimes miss and lose sight, but at this moment, Fan Wencheng knows that this is just self-consolation.

After the premiere, the next day will usher in the real showdown.

Because no matter how good the publicity is, it is not as good as the feelings of the viewers. Although film critics cannot represent the preferences of the audience, and a small group of movie fans cannot represent the majority of the audience, this is a weather vane.

Some movies are indeed becoming more and more popular. As long as there are certain bright spots, it may not be impossible to achieve good results under marketing and promotion.

But there is a prerequisite for that, that is, there are no other strong competitors in the same period.

When the audience has other choices, it is very difficult for the scolding to become more popular.

Film critics' reputation and audience's reputation, among the two, in the early stage, film critics' reputation is more influential, but if you really want to make a movie a hit, you still have to look at the audience's reputation.

Film critics can be bought, but audiences cannot.

The next day, the entire industry was waiting for the reviews of the two films.

It was the first time that even Lin Xiao paid so much attention to a movie.

Although there is a system, a good script is not necessarily a good movie, and there are too many bad movies with good stories.

Therefore, Lin Xiao came to Lingxiaoge Company early in the morning.

Yang Hao, Wang Pengfei and other main creators also came one after another.

Although the response from the audience at the scene yesterday was very good, after all, it was only at the scene.

The first thing I read was "Movie Vane". Although the sales volume of this magazine is not high, it has a pivotal position in the industry. Just like its name, it is the vane of movies!
It's just that the film review about "Infernal Affairs" first caught Lin Xiao's eyes, but a film review about "The Marginal Man" by Zheng Jie, editor-in-chief of "Movie Vane".

"I was invited to attend the premiere of "The Marginal Man" and make a personal analysis of this movie. My personal opinion is for reference only."

""Marginal Man" is definitely the largest domestic police and gangster film in this year's Spring Festival schedule, with an investment cost of up to 4 million, which is rare in recent years."

"Director Fan Wencheng is one of the top three directors in China who are good at police and gangster films. During the promotion, Director Fan Wencheng said that in this movie, he has made breakthrough attempts in many aspects. I have indeed seen this. "

"From the perspective of the big scene, in the first half of "The Marginal Man", it has indeed achieved the level of exclamation from time to time. The hearty fighting pleasure of several superstars is also enough to stimulate the nerves of any audience. It can be said that in this respect "The Borderline" is still doing very well."

"However, it seems that "Marginal Man" ignores the most basic factor of the movie, which is to tell a good story. The protagonist is an undercover agent. His long undercover career makes the protagonist sensitive and neurotic. However, the development of the plot makes people feel very inconsistent."

"The sensitive and neurotic protagonist actually kills everyone every time he appears on the stage. I was expecting a duel of acting skills between the best actors, but he didn't show up. All the pen and ink was given to the protagonist. Perhaps Director Fan Wencheng wanted to imitate Hollywood blockbusters. The model of the lonely hero, but the character of the protagonist is sensitive and neurotic, and as a result, the character of the protagonist and what he does have a feeling of incompatibility."

"Too much presentation of the amazing big scenes and dramas at the beginning led to final visual fatigue, and the incoordination of the characters' personalities and behaviors made the plot of the whole drama somewhat fractured."

"When the plot began to serve the big scene and the intense and exciting drama, this film has lost its original taste, because good movies, good-looking movies, always serve the plot with big scenes and drama."

"I have learned the lone hero model of Hollywood movies, but I haven't learned everything. The characteristics of popcorn movies are the same as the outside. Although the plot is simple, it must make the protagonist's character and behavior pattern form a logic, instead of sacrificing for the sake of killing the Quartet. rationality."

"I can give this movie an 8 (out of 10) rating for the first half, but only a 5 (out of 10) for the second half, and the whole movie can only barely reach a 6 out of [-]!"

Seeing the evaluation of Zheng Jie, editor-in-chief of "Movie Vane", Lin Xiao was a little confused for a while.

Because the news about the on-site reaction of "Marginal Man" from last night was that the audience applauded, but the first comment I read here was written by the editor-in-chief of an important magazine such as "Film Weathervane" comments, the result turned out to be just a passing grade.

This also made Lin Xiao and others a little nervous, "The Marginal Man" is like this, so what about "Infernal Affairs"?

Soon Lin Xiao found another film review in "Movie Vane".Review of "Infernal Affairs".

It is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Movie Vane" and a film review by Lin Wenyuan.

"I was honored to attend the premiere of "Infernal Affairs", and I am glad to be able to see this movie for the first time. This movie, in terms of scenes, is not even comparable to the previous gangster movies, but it does not mean that this movie Not good, on the contrary, this is what I have watched this year, it should not be said that it is the best gangster movie I have seen since I started my career."

"If you like to watch big scenes, "Infernal Affairs" is a very good choice, isn't it contradictory? No, it is not contradictory at all. We often say that big scenes are expressed through special effects and props, but "Infernal Affairs" "The big scene is shown through the superb acting skills of the actors and the wonderful plot."

"In my opinion, there are many 'big scenes' in this film, each of which can make people nervous and invested"
