" " single-handedly narrowed the box office gap with the summer season last year, accounting for 70% of the box office with 50% of the films scheduled. The producer of "Catch a Baby" must have been laughing in his dreams these past two days. However, some people are happy while others are worried. Such good results can’t help but make others look at them with envy.
Director Lu Chuan used his own account to describe the movie Yin and Yang, saying that "Catch a Baby" is a low-quality, highly alkaline comedy that dominates the Chinese film market and is a tragedy for the culture. The funny thing about
is that in the blink of an eye, the company behind Lu Chuan said that his account had been hacked. Lu Chuan also falsely said that Shen Teng was his buddy and he would investigate the matter thoroughly. As a result, the platform came out and said that all messages were published by one mobile phone, and those who distributed and deleted content were all from the same IP address. There was no such thing as account hacking. The sound of a slap in the face resounded throughout the entire network.
Let’s put aside the question of whether Lu Chuan is really sad for the culture or is jealous of his achievements, but what is certain is that "Catch a Baby" is indeed not a large-scale commercial film that can promote the progress of the film industry. But his existence is also meaningful. Such movies are the comfort that people need in a stressful society, and they are even what people are in urgent need of.
The market should be in full bloom
If you want to simply criticize Happy Twist's comedy movie, it is indeed too dependent on one baggage after another, and it all depends on the actors to pile up the baggage. The most advanced comedy is a structured comedy, with each scene following one another. It is a gradual process, so that everyone can see its subtleties. An analogy is to put on clothes. The first is One button is buttoned wrong, and the entire story begins to fly based on the wrong button.
Second-rate comedies can only be connected together with one baggage after another. One of the reasons why Happy Twist is often criticized is that there are countless baggage here, but the structure is not satisfactory, and the story has many suspicions of sinicization.
However, even if it is just a hit as a spit comedy, the existence of "Catch a Baby" and the output of high-quality cultural films are not a zero-sum game, nor do they belong to a trade-off relationship. Comedians make comedians. If anyone can make a good and in-depth movie, then he or she will make it. If he can't make a good movie, can he still blame the audience? The movie market is not limited to comedies, it’s just that now we can’t let a hundred flowers bloom. During last summer, no one of the three films including "Feng Shen", ": ", and ": She Disappeared " had any trouble with anyone else. All of them had good box office results, and there was healthy competition in the market. Let a hundred flowers bloom, no matter what profession you are in, we must promote it.
Audiences can watch movies as they please
The actual situation now is that the audience, as ordinary people, do not want to see something that always takes a high political position and teaches everyone something. I wonder why these creators always stand on the moral high ground and accuse the audience of their shortcomings. Good works should reflect reality and leave room for discussion by the audience, rather than directly exporting values to everyone.
Zhao Benshan said it decades ago, it’s been a year, and you expect to educate the audience in those few hours of the Spring Festival Gala. Isn’t this a joke? Why should the audience spend money to go to the cinema to receive an educational lesson for themselves? We are willing to make people spend money to go to the cinema to watch works that can bring people laughter from the heart, or cause people to resonate with the heart, cry, get angry, any emotion will do. The audience's criterion for judging a movie is very simple: if it is good-looking, it is worth my money; if it is not good-looking, it is not worth my money. There are so many twists and turns.
is jealous of the good box office and refuses to admit
. In the final analysis, it is because people in the industry are jealous of the box office. This is not the first time that netizens from all walks of life have met professional directors and producers who are crazy about the audience. While looking down on the audience, they are greedy for the box office, and then say that the audience does not understand the appreciation, but never thought that they could not make it.
This process, I really don’t know when this trend started. Once the box office of a movie is not very good, the producer, director or screenwriter of the movie will jump out on Weibo to scold the audience and criticize the audience. Don't know how to appreciate it.
People who can express such views really make everyone dumbfounded. It’s not that the audience doesn’t know how to appreciate film and television people who are capable of producing excellent works of art. For example, " long season ", no one who has seen it said it is not good-looking. It is not that the people will not appreciate it. Good works will be seen by people even if they are not publicized and have no traffic stars. The creators behind them are gold that will shine sooner or later. They will never jump out and say that people don't know how to appreciate it. Those who really can't control their inner feelings and are eager to come out with weird and sarcastic expressions to satirize the audience, deep down in their hearts, they wonder why the person with billions in box office is not him.
Not long ago, there was such a commotion because of "What Can't Be Solved Without a Hot Pot". The same is true for Director Ding Sheng. He is not as good as others. He doesn't make excuses from himself, and he doesn't know what to say to others. Crazy. If his movies were to make a lot of money, he would never say a word. Today, the plot is almost the same. Director Lu Chuan, whose new movie "749 Bureau" is about to be released, is afraid of repeating the collision of " Nine-story Demon Tower " and " Charlotte's Sorrow ". , already starting to go crazy in advance.
It doesn’t matter, let them go crazy, it will not delay our enjoyment as the audience at all.
