Disaster Artist

The screening of the midnight show is over, but the carnival has just begun. Like sparks, one city after another is connected in series, and one time zone after another is connected in series, and the landmarks on the world map are lit up one by one. Finally, a magnificent picture is drawn on the surface of the earth.

The twenty-four hours belonging to the "City of Falling Stars" slowly kicked off and made a wonderful official debut.

However, in stark contrast, the gates of the other five cinema lines were deserted, and most of the city blocks fell into a deep sleep as night fell. The raucous carnival spread.

Quiet, dead still, silent.

Although the midnight show is like this, no one expects the midnight show to detonate energy. After all, not every movie can become a "Jedi Knight". The deserted and quiet midnight show should be the norm. It is difficult to break through the night blockade.

However, the ban on the five major theaters still made the appearance of "City of Starfall" a bit lonely. The already deserted midnight show was now swallowed up by the endless night. Those noisy, prosperous and crazy people seemed to be placed in a Under the soundproof hood, it's like being cut off from the world.

Perhaps, this is "a person's carnival".

However, no one could have imagined that "one person's carnival" is not literally one person, but thousands of "one person's carnival" are still condensed into a powerful force, just like a single spark can start a prairie fire. The faint starlight is connected in series, slowly illuminating the night sky.

— like stars.

Although Polaris is the brightest star in the night, if there are not countless other stars dotted, relying on the light of Polaris alone will not be able to dispel the thickness of the night after all. Even the faintest stars will reflect the light of the sun and dispel the darkness of night sky Darkness and silence.

"One person" carnival, so what?

Just like dreamers, in the eyes of the world, they are stupid, they are paranoid, they are naive, they are lonely, walking alone on the road of chasing dreams, encountering exclusion, ridicule and contempt, just Only they and their own stubbornness move forward.

However, as long as we persevere, the little stars in the darkness will gradually brighten up, illuminating their world, making them realize that they are never alone and will not be alone, and they are still watching and helping each other even though they are lonely. Keep running on the road of chasing your dreams.

Then, "one person's carnival" will evolve into a prairie spark, proudly and powerfully lighting up a corner of the vast universe, becoming their territory and their world, blooming wantonly and carnivaling to their heart's content, in a short life, living Come from me, shine brightly, and truly enjoy life.

Like tonight.

Even though they are weak, rare, and limited, they still shine hand in hand, break free from the shackles of the night, and announce proudly and forcefully:

Dreamers, heartbreakers, are not alone; and, of course, there is "Starfall City."

Precisely because of the prohibition of the five theaters, precisely because of the stark contrast of the midnight shows, precisely because only a small group of people carnival in the quiet city at night, precisely because they are like exiled outlaws, precisely because they are forgotten, repelled and outlawed. Suppressed, attacked, hurt...

Everything further highlights the brilliance and magnificence of "City of Falling Stars". The contrast between inside and outside the big screen and inside and outside the theater detonates amazing energy.

Tonight, no one sleeps.

boom!

Boom boom boom!

Magnificent and magnificent, majestic and turbulent, sweeping the world—

Before "Starfall City" was released, people's expectations had already exploded. However, the movie not only met the expectations, but even broke them again.

Similarly, before "Starfall City" was released, people had already foreseen a carnival. Even if it was a Golden Kite Award, ordinary passer-by audiences were not interested at all, just like "tourists", but fanatical supporters of land diving People will still not miss this work; however, reality not only dedicated a carnival, but even swept across the world in a mighty manner, detonating from online to offline, and the mighty and powerful momentum is really shocking.

Starting from the midnight show, it spread all the way, and with the advancement of jet lag, one time zone and another time zone detonated one after another, taking turns relaying, the topic's popularity remained high, and it remained unbelievably strong. Not only did it reach the hot search list, but also every time There are surprises every hour.

There is no doubt that this is a carnival.

Then, the media officially debuted—

Four months ago, "City of Starfall" landed at the Blue Summer Film Festival, successfully ignited word of mouth, and won the Golden Kite Award, which has proved the excellence of the film; but after all, there are still a small number of media going to Blue Summer, which cannot The opinions of all media, let alone the opinions of mass media.

Moreover, in Lan Xia at that time, in order to avoid spoilers, the reporter in front did not give a formal evaluation, only the official show magazine published the media evaluation, and the praise was good, but where the specific evaluation and rating will end up is still a question mark, eighth Very good reviews and 90-point masterpieces are two different things.

Don’t forget that there are not a few works that have received a lot of complaints and even criticism in the official release of the three major film festivals. Even if they win the top awards of the three major film festivals, there is no guarantee that the professional media and mass media will be able to appreciate the works. outstanding.

Here, the reason cannot simply be attributed to the difference between art films and commercial films. It is more due to the objective deviation between the aesthetic system of the film festival and the interests and hobbies of the film market. The market is also two different things.

After all, the matter of "aesthetics" is inherently subjective.

Now, it's the turn of "City of Falling Stars". Can Lanxia's aesthetics win the market's recognition?

praise?

No, criticism first—

"Entertainment News", Sixty Points, "It would be great if the script could be polished a little more. This time, Lu Qian failed to provide enough detailed support at the script level, and it is difficult for the audience to understand the love and destiny of Lan Kai and Mi Yang." , rubbing shoulders and being moved, unless the audience deeply likes Gao Silin and Aiya—but obviously, this is lazy, not Lu Qian’s credit."

"Movie Transfer Station", 63 points, "Of course, we should send all the praises from the director level. Lu Qian has once again completed an incredible director's work, dazzled and thrilling; but at the same time, Lu Qian also awakened again. We have bad, painful memories of musical movies, pure mise-en-scène and color presentation, but hardly more resonance in terms of story and characters. The movie is good, but we expected more."

A neutral review. Two medium reviews.

It can be seen from the comments that it completely matches the views of some audiences, and the professional media also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the weak script.

Some bad memories came back to my mind again. Not long ago, "Deadpool" suffered a lot of attacks and accusations, so now "Starfall City" will also go through such a process of wanting to promote before suppressing?

Fortunately, this is not the case, because the two mid-term reviews are all there is, and a series of good reviews follow up.
