Recently, the well-known director Lu Chuan commented on the currently screening movie " Catch a Baby " through a social platform, which became quite popular on the Internet.
"Catch a Baby" is a comedy film created by Happy Mahua, starring Shen Teng Ma Li, and starring comedians Jia Bing, Wei Xiang, Yu Yang and others.
Since the film was released, the box office revenue has been soaring. As of 3 pm on July 17, the cumulative box office of "Catch a Baby" has officially exceeded the 700 million mark, successfully entering the top ten of the mainland movie box office list in 2024.
The film’s Douban score reached 7.5. Nearly 140,000 people commented on it, with four-star reviews accounting for 42.1%.
Based on the current rapid momentum and word-of-mouth feedback, the platform predicts that the box office of "Catch a Baby" should reach 3.7 billion.
But at this moment, Director Lu Chuan’s comments quickly aroused controversy on the Internet.
Director Lu Chuan wrote in the discussion topic of #电影《只做》是什么意思? Quickly attract attention on the Internet.
For a literary and artistic work, whether it is good or bad depends on the evaluation of different people. Lu Chuan evaluates a movie from his own perspective, which is understandable.
However, it didn’t take long for the matter to reverse.
In the afternoon, Beijing Yuan Dynamic Entertainment Culture Development Co., Ltd., chaired by Lu Chuan, issued a statement saying that the content of the review of the movie "Catch a Baby" posted on Lu Chuan's social account was not posted by him because his account was stolen. .
The statement also mentioned that the company has contacted the platform to retrieve the account and deleted content that did not belong to Lu Chuan.
apologizes to the project parties involved on behalf of the company team and director Lu Chuan for the impact caused by the comments posted on the account.
Finally, I wish the summer movie box office success and the prosperity of Chinese movies.
Lu Chuan himself also forwarded the company's statement, saying that Lao Shen is a good friend and Xiao Shi is the male protagonist of his last drama and his biological brother.
Every movie has the hard work and attitude of all the creators, and they all deserve respect. There is nothing wrong with the series of operations
, but netizens are generally unwilling to believe that a hacker stole a director's account just to comment on a movie? We really can’t say that we believe it.
In addition, the term "low-quality, highly alkaline, bad movies" is quite advanced and professional. If you are not an industry insider, you really can't say such a thing.
In the eyes of netizens, the so-called account hacking statement is just to cover up the public opinion consequences caused by Lu Chuan's "true temperament" and is a means to eliminate the influence of bad public opinion.
Sure enough, on the evening of July 17, the incident took another turn, and the social platform where Lu Chuan posted the news spoke out. The
platform security center account issued a statement, saying that the platform is concerned about users reporting that their accounts have been stolen and the content is not posted by themselves.
checked the backend log and confirmed that the content posted by the user "Filmmaker Lu Chuan" at 11:13 on July 16, 2024 has been deleted by the user himself, and his login, posting and deletion information are all consistent.
In other words, the person who posted the article saying ""Catch a Baby" is a low-quality alkaline comedy" is not a "hacker", but Lu Chuan himself.
This is a bit embarrassing. It is not low-quality and strong alkaline, but high-quality and weakly acidic.
My original opinion on a movie is that benevolent people have different opinions, and the true nature of having the courage to speak out is quite admirable.
was later deleted and said that the account had been hacked. He also said that he was a good brother and a younger brother. This operation is a bit confusing.
As of now, neither Lu Chuan’s company Yuan Dynamics Pan Entertainment Pictures nor Lu Chuan himself have responded to this matter.
Some media tried to contact relevant personnel of the company to understand the follow-up progress, but did not receive a response.
In fact, Lu Chuan and Kaixin Mahua have a long history, and the grievances between the two parties can be traced back to the National Day holiday in 2015.
I don’t know if you still remember that " Charlotte's Sorrow " starring Shen Teng and Ma Li and " Nine-story Demon Tower " directed by Lu Chuan were competing together.
At that time, Shen Teng and Ma Li were still newcomers to the film industry, and Happy Twist was also good at stage plays and sketches.
And "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" is a highly anticipated blockbuster, adapted from the Ghost Blowing Deng IP, written and directed by Lu Chuan, Zhao Youting, Yao Chen, Li Chen, Tang Yan, Li Guangjie, Wang Qingxiang, etc. It stars many celebrities and big names, and it is said that the total investment exceeds 100 million yuan.
After the final release, the reputation of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" could not be sustained. The total box office was 670 million and the Douban score was 4.4 points.
"Charlotte Troubles" has a small reputation, a Douban score of 7.9, and a total box office of 1.44 billion. It has achieved extremely high reputation and box office, becoming a representative of low investment and high returns, and became the biggest dark horse in the National Day movie that year.
It has been 9 years since "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" was released. Lu Chuan has never returned to the theaters, but Happy Twist's movies are coming one after another.
This time Lu Chuan commented that "Catch a Baby" is a "low-quality and highly alkaline comedy film". It is not a new hatred, but an old hatred.
