The number one movie theater Miss Understanding (topcinema original, reprinting is strictly prohibited)
Shen Teng, Ma Li starring in the comedy " Catch a Baby" is the most popular, and the current box office has exceeded 1.5 billion, making this year's summer movie season increasingly lively stand up.
As a result, it became even more lively a few days ago because of a critical review of the movie "Catch a Baby" by director Lu Chuan's account.
But this kind of excitement is not what everyone wants to see.
On July 17, the director Lu Chuan’s certified account “Filmmaker Lu Chuan” commented on Happy Twist Team’s movie “Catching Dolls”: “It is a tragedy for Twist’s culture that low-quality sex comedy films dominate the Chinese film market,” and was deleted instantly.
Later, Lu Chuan issued an article saying that the account was stolen. Lu Chuan also forwarded it and said: "Old Shen is a buddy, and Xiao Shi is one of the male protagonists in my last movie, and he is my brother. Every movie has the hard work and attitude of the creator, and they are all worth it. Respect. I hope the video will sell well. "
However, the "account hacking" statement was quickly slapped in the face by a technical statement from the platform -
The platform responded: The content has been deleted by the user. It logs in to mobile devices, sends messages to mobile devices, The mobile phone device information of the deleted text is consistent.
In other words: Lu Chuan claimed to have hacked his account, and the platform solemnly responded that this does not exist.
Two words in capital letters: Embarrassing.
As for why Lu Chuan's account posted a bombardment against "Catch a Baby", netizens have speculated, but whether it was the wrong account or a slippery hand, it would be embarrassing to delete the post after posting it, and then find an excuse to "steal the account" to blame it. The platform's actions made netizens unable to sit still any longer - after
was slapped in the face by the platform after claiming to have stolen his account, the comment area of Lu Chuan's social account was directly destroyed, and many netizens poured in to leave messages.
——“The platform denies account hacking, does your face hurt?”
——“In what age are we still using the old trick of account hacking.”
——“Shouldn’t art be diverse? You are so sour. At the same time, the past "showdown" between Lu Chuan and Happy Twist Movie was also revealed.
It turns out that on September 30, 2015, Lu Chuan's movie " Nine-story Demon Tower " and the first movie " Charlotte's Sorrow " starring Shen Teng and Ma Li were released on the same day.
"Charlotte Troubles" had a Douban score of 7.9 and a box office of 1.4 billion, while "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" only had a 4.4 score and a box office of 600 million. From word-of-mouth to box office, it was directly suppressed by the former who had just entered the film industry at that time.
Back then, "The Nine-Story Demonic Tower" had a poor reputation and received negative reviews. Many viewers could not accept that the original work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" could be adapted into such a film, especially the plot of the demon adaptation, which was criticized completely, with a low score of 4.4 , which is enough to show the dissatisfaction of the audience.
This time, Lu Chuan's account published bombarding and critical remarks against "Catch a Baby". Coupled with the past "encounter on a narrow road", netizens had more interpretations and once again recalled the movie "Nine-Storey Demon Tower".
As a result, many netizens rushed to Douban's "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" homepage and wrote negative reviews.
Why is Lu Chuan so dissatisfied by netizens? One netizen's message may express the feelings of many people:
- "Criticism is criticism. Artists should really be themselves."
After all, no film can only have praise, and Chinese films cannot have only commercial adulation. Neither can we make progress just by relying on superficial commercial adulation.
From this perspective, whether it is a filmmaker or an audience, it is okay to criticize a certain movie and make different voices. As long as it is for the good of the audience and the good of Chinese movies, why not be more sharp?
However, if you are approved but dare not admit it for fear of offending others, and you have to blame the platform, this becomes a joke.
The more important point is that it is easy to criticize others, but as an insider, not an ordinary audience, you cannot judge from an outsider's attitude, but you must first make your own movie well, which is the business, and this is for the audience and the audience. Something more important to Chinese cinema.
Improving the business level, improving the vision and structure, and having the courage to speak out are very important to Chinese movies.
