This star’s style is wrong - Chapter 658
c658 Film critics’ comments sparked heated discussions
After Douya.com released ratings for its National Day movies, it sparked heated discussions across the internet.
“Laws of Hunting Crime” scored 7.3 points.
This score is not low, but it is not particularly high either.
Generally speaking, as a movie is released for a longer period of time and the number of moviegoers increases, the scores will change, and most of them will slowly decrease.
According to general rules, a movie with an opening score of 7.3 will have a score of around 7 when it is released.
A score of 7 is a pretty good score for a movie about police and gangsters.
Audiences definitely want to watch movies with higher ratings, but for film and television companies, as long as they can produce profitable movies, that is the biggest goal.
A 7-point movie, with top-notch stars, and super popularity, this is simply a money-making machine.
In fact.
Seeing the box office performance on the first day of the National Day season, it is already certain that the box office performance of “The Law of the Hunt” will be very good. The only difference is how good it is.
Therefore, whether it is Zhensheng Media, Shengqi Entertainment, or Jia Haochen, “The Rules of Hunting” with a score of 7 is completely in line with their expectations.
If you spend some money to lobby the judges of a small awards ceremony, you might even be able to win a trophy.
only.
It’s October 4th.
“The Rules of Hunting” became a hot search due to its low rating.
In fact, the rating of “The Rules of Hunting” is not low. It is only because the ratings of a movie next door are too outrageous that the ratings of “The Rules of Hunting” appear to be low.
When it comes to ratings, comparisons must be made to reflect the level.
If all movies only have 6 points, then a 7 points would be a masterpiece.
Unfortunately, the score of “Infernal Affairs” is 9.1, which is too high, making the score of 7.3 of “The Law of Hunting” seem so low, almost two points lower.
Therefore, many fans of Jia Haochen criticized Douya.com on Weibo and other online platforms:
[The shady story of Douya.com, conniving at FX’s score gain. “Laws of Hunting Crime” must have a score of at least 8.5, shady story! It’s all shady! 】
[Jimei friends, let’s report Douya.com for fraud and take down FX’s bad movies! 】
[Really, I’ve never seen anything so outrageous. Forget it, just give it a 7.5. Don’t let everyone see that you are making a bad movie. Forget it, and even give it a 9. Do you really think that we, the audience, are fools? 】
Amid the condemnations from these fans, many passers-by also participated in the discussion.
[I don’t know if I’ve earned points or not, but I’ve watched all three National Day movies. I voted for “Liao Zhai” with 7 points, “Liao Zhai” with 7 points for plot, Li Xuecheng with +1 point, and a certain top actor with -1 point, and the overall score is 7 points. “Infernal Affairs” feels like the score of 8 is low, and the score of 9 seems to be a bit high. Seeing that Fang Xing’s performance is amazing, and he directed and acted at +0.3, the final score is 9. 】
[Whether “Infernal Affairs” can reach a score of 9 is hard to say, but “Infernal Affairs” is better-looking than “The Law of the Hunt”. There is no dispute about this. 】
[In my personal opinion, if you can calm down and watch the drama of the three movie kings, “Infernal Affairs” gets a solid 9 points. (Strictly speaking, Fang Xing is just a TV star, not a movie star yet, but he feels like he will soon.)]
The comments from these passersby attracted a large group of fans to curse:
[Are you blind? Is FX good at acting? Haochen’s acting skills are better than FX’s, and he’s more handsome than FX’s. The aesthetics of domestic entertainment have been brought down by you idiots! 】
[Why is Haochen a points deduction? You watch movies with colored glasses, and you have the nerve to comment on them, which makes me sick to my stomach. 】
[I bet you, Haochen will win the Best Actor Award before FX! 】
…
In the midst of controversy.
Many film critics on major online platforms do not take a break during the National Day holiday. After all, with such a large amount of traffic, it is not necessary to waste time.
Therefore, many drama critics and film critics have begun to analyze and comment on the three National Day movies.
Li Xiaobin’s drama reviewer ID “Husky Loves Watching Dramas” has more than three million fans online, making him the first echelon of drama and film review accounts.
Originally, Li Xiaobin mainly did drama reviews, but the boundary between drama reviews and film reviews is actually not that clear.
Therefore, the account “Huskies Love Watching Dramas” also began to enter the film critic circle.
The main reason why Li Xiaobin is popular is that the videos he produces are quite interesting, and his complaints always make netizens laugh.
However, he also has a disadvantage, that is, he is not professional enough.
When it comes to reviewing TV series, I can handle it, but when it comes to reviewing movies, it’s a little bit worse.
Therefore, Li Xiaobin used his popularity of three million fans to start looking for other highly professional film critics to cooperate and produce film review videos.
Professional film critics have professionalism, and Li Xiaobin has three million fans. Cooperation is a win-win situation.
The National Day holiday lasts for three days.
Li Xiaobin reached a cooperation with professional film critic Chen Yichao and produced a film review video.
Chen Yichao graduated from the National Theater Academy 30 years ago and has been working in the television and film industries for more than 20 years. He worked very hard on the crew in his early years, which left him with many old illnesses.
In the past few years, I have been semi-retired and usually write film reviews.
Since he has been working in the film industry for more than 20 years and graduated from the Chinese Theater Department, his professionalism is definitely at the top of the film critic circle.
Li Xiaobin’s team came to visit several times before reaching cooperation.
Moreover, Chen Yichao didn’t want to bother anymore and just wanted to write a movie review quietly.
This is complementary to Li Xiaobin’s team.
Li Xiaobin only needs Chen Yichao to talk about movies and write movie reviews, and leave the rest to his team.
This is also in line with Chen Yichao’s needs, so the two collaborated for the first time to review “Infernal Affairs” and “The Law of Hunting Crime”.
Li Xiaobin directly put aside Jade Bird Media’s “Liao Zhai” because the special effects movie and the plot are average. In fact, there is not much to analyze and comment on. It is just a pure popcorn movie.
For this kind of movie, Li Xiaobin’s team can write reviews.
The really difficult movies that require professional film critics are “Infernal Affairs” and “The Law of the Hunt”.
Because Li Xiaobin is already well-known in the film and television industry, he often gets tickets for premieres.
Therefore, this time, Li Xiaobin and Chen Yichao did not watch movies just for National Day. They watched both movies on September 30th.
Originally, Li Xiaobin planned to start recording the video the next day.
However, Chen Yichao asked to watch “Infernal Affairs” again.
So, on the morning of National Day, Li Xiaobin and Chen Yichao watched the movie “Infernal Affairs” again.
Fortunately, it’s morning and you can still buy tickets at non-popular movie theaters. If you want to watch it in the afternoon, it will be difficult to buy tickets.
After watching it, I started recording videos in the afternoon.
After recording, it took three days to complete the video editing and upload it to major video websites on the morning of October 4th.
As soon as the video was uploaded, it quickly topped the popularity list with a huge fan base.
Immediately afterwards, when fans and audiences were debating whether “Infernal Affairs” should increase its score.
This video quickly became a hot search topic.
[Senior filmmakers comment on popular National Day movies. Who is the king of National Day movies? “Infernal Affairs”? “The Law of Hunting Crime”? 】
After it became a hot search, more and more netizens clicked on this video to watch it.
When the video is clicked, a scene in the reception room appears.
The two people sat in front of the camera with a coffee table in the middle and started talking about movies.
Before starting, Li Xiaobin first introduced: “Today, we invited Mr. Chen Yichao, a senior filmmaker, to discuss movies with us.
“Mr. Chen Yichao and I have already attended the premiere of “Infernal Affairs” and “The Law of Hunting” on the 30th. Yes, it is everyone’s credit to be invited to participate.
“Originally, the video was supposed to come out yesterday, but Mr. Chen Yichao, after watching two movies on the 30th, refused to record the video and insisted on watching one of them again.
“As for which movie I watched twice, I’ll leave it open for now.
“Okay, we have officially entered this year’s film review session.
“Teacher Chen, what do you think of “The Law of Hunting” directed by Ke Zhensheng?”
Chen Yichao replied directly: “To put it bluntly, “The Law of Hunting” is not the best work of director Ke Zhensheng, and it is even the middle-to-lower level among all his works.
“I’m not afraid to speak so directly. During “Crime 2”, I was a member of the film production team, so we knew each other.
“Director Ke Zhensheng speaks one word. Just say what you have to say. I think it is at a lower or average level, so I will say it straight…”
Li Xiaobin then asked: “Does this mean that director Ke Zhensheng’s level has dropped?”
Chen Yichao thought about it and replied: “You can’t say that. The movie is a joint effort of everyone on the crew, not the director alone. The director is not the boss in the crew, the producer is the boss, and the producer serves the investors. , so those who know the truth behind the movie can actually see many things that the audience cannot see.”
Li Xiaobin asked: “What does this mean?”
Chen Yichao laughed and said: “Actually, it’s about making money. If investors want to make money, they will think of various ways to get directors to make profitable movies.
“From the perspective of investors, the movie “The Law of the Hunt” was quite successful. The investment was already recovered at the box office in the first three days.
“However, the film inevitably fell into mediocrity.”
“Mediocre? Why use this word?” Li Xiaobin asked.
Chen Yichao explained: “It is indeed mediocre. There are so many movies released every year, and most of them are mediocre. Most of them are not what the director wants to express, but they have to be shot this way. Because if they are not shot this way, there will be no high box office, no With high box office, there are no investors to invest. From a certain perspective, commercial films tend to be mediocre. Finding a balance between business and art is an eternal issue.”
Li Xiaobin continued to ask: “In “The Law of Hunting”, who does Teacher Chen think has the best acting skills?”
Chen Yichao replied directly: “Of course it’s Li Xuecheng. It’s true that the sword is still young. If he were five years younger, he wouldn’t be able to win another Best Actor trophy.”
Li Xiaobin continued to ask: “What about Jia Haochen? As the male protagonist of “The Law of Hunting”, how is his acting skills?”
Chen Yichao was silent for a moment and replied: “Among young actors, they are passable, but it also depends on who they compare with. When he was acting opposite Li Xuecheng, it was obvious that Li Xuecheng intended to keep his status, because he was worried about pressuring Jia Haochen too hard. .
“However, in this way, there will be no performance excitement like a drama.
“For the audience, exciting action scenes are the best.
“But for those of us with a professional background, the scene where the two actors compete with each other is the most chilling.”
Li Xiaobin said: “So, Jia Haochen’s acting skills are still somewhat lacking, is that right?”
Chen Yichao nodded and replied: “This young man may have become famous too early. You can see the feeling of ‘I am very powerful and the whole world revolves around me’ from his expression.
“This feeling greatly affects his performance, causing him to look like a very powerful person in the movie, but he is not that smart in the plot, creating a sense of separation.
“I personally suggest that Jia Haochen should calm down and regain the mentality of an ordinary person, let alone bring this star quality to the movie.
“The requirement for acting in movies is to act like someone else, not to act like yourself.
“The image of a star and the image of a policeman in a movie cannot overlap. This is actually a taboo in acting.”
The video plays here.
The barrage flooded the screen like crazy, and all of them were fans scolding Chen Yichao:
【Who is this person? It jumped out of nowhere, and now cats and dogs dare to come out as film critics, right? 】
[This guy actually said that Haochen was not good at acting? He acted so well and was so handsome, especially when he was driving a motorcycle and it passed by my eyes, I had an orgasm all over. 】
[Why can anyone be a film critic now? Who is this person? 】
Since this video is a film review video by Li Xiaobin, many of the netizens who watched the video were fans of Li Xiaobin, and they began to compete with fans of Jia Haochen in the barrage:
[My acting skills are not that good, right? 】
[I even asked who Chen Yichao was. He is a filmmaker with 25 years of experience and graduated from a major in Chinese opera. China Theater also wanted to invite him back to teach, but he declined due to injury. To get such comments from a senior filmmaker, even a movie king has to be humble and take lessons. 】
[I randomly checked Chen Yichao’s resume. He mainly worked behind the scenes and had close to a hundred related movies and TV series. Chen Yichao’s name is included in the credits of “Criminal Glory 2” and “Criminal Glory 3”. 】
[Are all the top fans so awesome now? Even if Ke Zhensheng watched the video, he would not refute a word, but he was top-notch. 】
The video continues to play.
After finishing the review of “The Law of Hunting Crime”, I started to enter the part of “Infernal Affairs”.
Li Xiaobin clicked on the suspense left at the beginning and said: “At the beginning of the video, I said that Teacher Chen asked to watch one of the movies a second time, and he was talking about “Infernal Affairs” that we are going to talk about next.
“Teacher Chen, why do you want to watch “Infernal Affairs” twice? Is there any special reason?”
Chen Yichao organized his words and replied: “The first reason why I have to watch it twice is… it looks good.
“The second reason is that this is a movie that I like very much.
“As mentioned earlier, the scenes that filmmakers like us like to watch the most are scenes in which two actors compete against each other.
“”Infernal Affairs” satisfied this preference of mine, and several rooftop scenes made my adrenaline soar.
“Unlike exciting action scenes, it is very difficult to create a sensation in this kind of literary drama.
“And ‘Infernal Affairs’ did it.
“Especially the scenes between Fang Xing and Liang Youhua are the best performances in the movies I have seen this year.”
Li Xiaobin showed a surprised expression and asked: “Does Teacher Chen have such a high opinion of “Infernal Affairs”? Do you have any connection with “Infernal Affairs”?”
Chen Yichao shook his head and replied: “There is no connection. I am already semi-retired, so what connection can there be?” However, Fang Xing’s performance really surprised me.
“This person really keeps surprising people. The last time I was surprised was “Crazy Stone”, and now it’s “Infernal Affairs”.
“I suggest that when the audience watches “Infernal Affairs” and sees the drama between Liang Youhua and Fang Xing, they must not miss any detail.
“The second is the scene between Liu Hanyi and Fang Xing, which is also very good.”
Li Xiaobin then asked: “Teacher Chen, how do you evaluate Fang Xing’s acting skills? Fang Xing is not a performance major, but a vocal major. He was originally a singer.”
Chen Yichao chuckled and said: “When it comes to acting, talent is actually more important than hard work. Some people have drama in their eyes when they stand in front of the camera. This kind of talent cannot be cultivated through hard work.
“Fang Xing is such a talented actor. In fact, you can see it from his first TV series “Wulin Gaiden”.
“This person can act like whatever he wants. He can be handsome or ugly.”
Li Xiaobin then asked: “Isn’t there anything that Fang Xing needs to improve?”
Chen Yichao replied: “Yes, I suggest Fang Xing concentrate on being an actor, leave the directing work to others, and create more flesh-and-blood characters for the audience.”
