Chapter 979 It All Depends on the Support of Peers

For a commercial film, ratings are never the most important, box office is.

Although "The Age of Dawn" currently has a Douban score of only 5.0 and audience reviews are extremely polarized, its box office performance has been surprisingly good.

Including the 200 million box office sold in the previous pre-sale stage, the first-day box office of "Akatsuki" reached 560 million!

Even if its reputation collapses and its ratings explode, according to conservative estimates, it will earn at least close to 2 billion in box office, which is already enough to enter the Chinese movie box office list.

There is no doubt that this time, Mingdao achieved enlightenment.

However, the good results achieved by "The Age of Dawn" also made a group of people feel angry, and they stood up and began to curse, saying frankly that this is how the good money of Chinese-language movies was expelled by the bad money.

A bad movie like this can have so much box office, but no one cares about really good movies. How can Chinese-language movies develop?

These heartfelt words made passers-by really think that these bloggers were speaking out for Chinese-language movies.

However, looking through historical records, these people have promoted "The Ferryman" and even criticized fans who thought the movie was not good.

"Akatsuki" is a bad movie, isn't "The Ferryman" also?

The only difference between the two is that "The Ferryman" was a hit and lost a lot of money.

And "Akatsuki Era" is obviously going to make a lot of money.

This kind of double-standard behavior is really funny when it appears on a film critic who claims to be a legitimate customer.

Therefore, many passers-by and netizens did not buy their comments at all, and even said that they only work for money, talking about doctrines, and thinking about business.

There were also some sensible audience members who spoke up and said:

"Although "Akatsuki" is indeed a bad movie, at least it is very sincere. The theme of the plot is from the beginning, which is to talk about sisterhood in a materialistic world. Although it is not told well, at least it is a complete story. s story.

In addition, the actors' acting skills, appearance, costumes, framing and lens art are all quite excellent, even surpassing many good films with a rating of 7.5 or above.

Maybe it's still not as good as a 7.5 movie overall, but it's not impossible to give it a passing score.

After all, it is a commercial film. Does a commercial film need any plot or logic?

How many Marvel superhero movies have such bad plots, has it affected them from becoming the highest-grossing movie IP in the world?

Furthermore, compared with the bad movies of recent years, didn’t “Akatsuki” kill them all?

To achieve such a box office, I can only say that the peers have done a good job! "

………………

That's the thing. If the bad movies in recent years hadn't been so insincere, leaving the audience with no desire to pay, "Akatsuki" wouldn't have been able to sell such a high box office.

The bad movies of the past at least had some merit. If they were just for fun, they would still be enjoyable to watch. "Akatsuki" falls into this category.

And today's bad movies are just a piece of shit that makes people have no desire to watch them.

It is precisely because of the foil that a bad movie becomes less bad in the eyes of the audience, and they are even willing to spend money on it.

The situation that Luo Quan imagined that the whole network would criticize "Dawn Era" did not happen.

On the contrary, when the movie became popular, many viewers gave it positive reviews, and the Douban score also recovered to 5.2.

This was indeed contrary to what she had imagined. Originally, she thought that the director and actors of this movie would be collectively scolded, but so far, netizens are just making fun of them.

Many viewers who have watched the movie said that the plot of the movie is terrible, but the actors are so good-looking and the props are so luxurious.

Fans who followed the trend and went to see the movie knew better, and set their expectations very low from the beginning, so after watching the movie, they felt that the plot was not that bad.

After this back and forth, the movie's reputation and Douban ratings have gone up.

However, at most 6.0 is enough, and any higher would be unreasonable.

"Congratulations, Leon. The movie is a hit at the box office. You don't have another masterpiece."

In the living room, Luo Quan said with a smile on his face, but there was a bit of joking in his tone.

"Sister, please stop mocking me."

Leon looked at her helplessly: "It's a blessing that this movie has such a high box office. I didn't expect that the ratings would go up. I was already prepared to be scolded after filming."

Wen Xia saw it thoroughly and said directly: "It's normal. "The Age of Dawn" is bad, but it was also based on the standards ten years ago. At present, there are few films in the Chinese film market that are better than it." commercial film."

"I think this feeling is really strange. Even though you made a bad movie, you still get praised."

Leon smiled bitterly, looking helpless. Suddenly he remembered something, looked at Luo Quan and said:

"By the way, sister, Seifert told me this morning that he has taken on a new movie. It's called "The Wolf of Wall Street." It's said to be a business war movie. I haven't gotten the script yet, but it seems pretty good. There's a shortage of male and female leads. , asking if you are interested."

"What movie?" Luo Quan was stunned for a moment.

"The Wolf of Wall Street." Leon repeated.

After hearing the name again, Luo Quan finally remembered it, and then she shook her head: "I don't have time to go to the United States to film. You can find someone else."

"That's what I told Seifert." Leon muttered, as if he already knew that his sister would not agree.

But this is really not because she has no time, it is just a reason to prevent her own unpredictable future from showing up.

In the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", can she and Leon act in it?

This movie is bigger than "Titanic"!

If she remembers correctly, "The Wolf of Wall Street" should be the one with the most swear words and the most dense scenes among all Hollywood movies, and there are also a lot of missing scenes.

If we say the passionate scene in "Titanic" is about Jack and Rose falling in love so deeply that they can't help themselves, it is beautiful and romantic.

The passionate scenes in "The Wolf of Wall Street" are pure desire and nothing else.

The scene that impressed her most was when the heroine was sitting in front of the hero like a woman expecting to give birth.

The key thing is that the heroine is still in neutral.

If she were to act in this situation, would it be okay?

The movie is definitely a good one. The characters’ lines are very tense and there is a kind of hysteria after being dominated by money and desire. It has a chance to win the Oscar.

However, not all good movies are suitable for her to act in.

Just like "Titanic", even though you know it will leave your mark in film history, you still have no choice but to give up.

For something like "The Wolf of Wall Street", there's even less need to pick it up.

I guess Leon doesn't know how outrageous this movie is, and if he knew, he probably wouldn't even mention it.

Luo Quan started the live broadcast in the afternoon, and all the fans in the live broadcast room asked her to talk about "Akatsuki Era".

Although she did not participate in the movie, she did provide an important sports car, which can be regarded as a small connection.

At the same time, fans also want to know what she thinks of the movie, whether it is a bad movie or an excellent commercial movie.

Luo Quan also guessed that fans would let her talk about this, after all, this movie is also the most popular on the Internet recently.

As for her opinion, it is different from the mainstream: "The advantages and disadvantages of this movie are very obvious. The obvious disadvantage is that the plot is not good, and there are too many unreasonable and taken-for-granted things. If something goes wrong here, the movie will be bad." It's impossible to get high scores.

And similarly, its advantage is that it is really well-made, especially in the current film and television environment. "

Fans curiously asked:

"You might as well speak plainly."

"Of course it's a big environment?"

"Come here, it's my favorite environment where I'm not afraid of offending people. Please start your performance."

"Everyone, sit still, Luo Bao is about to start outputting at full strength."

………………

Seeing the fans' expected words, Luo Quan felt a little funny, but he continued:

“Our current environment is that more and more manufacturers are making bad movies to rape everyone’s aesthetics.

Let’s not talk too far, let’s talk about the recent casting of fairy tales and costume dramas. How dare you play the leading role in any crooked person? Do you have what it takes?

What you're acting in is not a costume drama. The full name of what you're acting in is a costume idol drama. But which of the actors' costumes is enough to be called an idol?

That's the key, why bother buying the hot search to boast about its beauty?

It's really shameless to be filming a hugely bad movie and TV series, but still boast about being so conscientious. "

After Luo Quan finished spraying the first stage, he took a sip of water to replenish it, and then continued:

"The reason for the success of "Akatsuki" is actually very simple, because it is pure enough.

From the beginning of the movie, it puts the word "showing off wealth" on its face, and then focuses on showing off wealth and the love-hate entanglement of the four sisters to tell the story.

Maybe the story is not exciting, but it is complete enough, and the decorations of the story are exquisite enough, so so many people watch it.

Think about it, everyone, in the domestic film and television industry, how many movies like this with normal scenes, props, and actors' aesthetics are left?

That's its strength. "

Unexpectedly, Luo Quan's words immediately aroused doubts from some people in the live broadcast room:

"You call this normal aesthetics?"

"Worshiping money can't be considered a normal aesthetic. I feel like my three views are not very upright."

"Luo Bao, what you said is not quite right."

…………

At first, Luo Quan's reaction to seeing the barrage was a bit confusing, but she soon figured it out.

But it was useless for her to figure it out, she had to explain it clearly, so she said seriously: "Is there any law that stipulates that the theme of a movie cannot promote the worship of money?

Everyone needs to know that the movie is fictional and expresses everything in the story through the lens. As for what it expresses, as long as it is not anti-human or criminal, there will be no problem.

As adults, we need to make our own judgments.

Just like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, was it filmed to promote everyone to become the Texas Butcher?

And my own film The Silence of the Lambs. Is the main point of it being to make people become ogres?

This is just a story, and how it is understood is up to the audience. As for whether the story can be told well, that is what the director should do.

As a director, Mingdao definitely didn't tell the story well, but he can't directly attack the three views because of this. After all, there are many foreign movies about criminals getting away with it.

But even with this kind of three views, many classic films have been produced.

Of course, such a situation is definitely not allowed here. It can only be said that the national conditions are different, but it does not say that movies cannot worship money.

So those who attack the three views of the movie should stop using this as an argument.

After all, what you see as extravagance, extravagance, and lust in your eyes might just be the daily life of some people in reality? "

Luo Quan's last words can be said to be the finishing touch.

Many of the points of attack on "Akatsuki" on the Internet are the outrageous scenes showing off wealth, which makes people feel that the city in the story is the same as in a capitalist country.

And Luo Quan's words also directly make it clear that the luxury you see is nothing compared to real luxury.

In the past, Luo Quan also felt that the plot in "The Age of Dawn" was outrageous. How could someone be like in the movie, going to a backward area and developing allergies.

But after seeing more people and things in reality, she realized that many of the scenes in the movie were records. There really were such outrageous people in reality, and there were quite a few of them.

As for the life of the rich, if Lyon did not provide guidance and correction and let Mingdao continue to use the standards of more than ten years ago, it would really be a joke.

But when the time comes, netizens will probably not say that this movie is money-worshiping, but will laugh at the fact that Mingdao couldn't even dream of it, and even the luxury he imagined is so full of local flavor.

And now "Akatsuki" is at least in line with international standards in showing off wealth.

It's just that although Lyon was born into a wealthy family, he only enjoyed some luxurious treatment in the conventional sense.

As for true luxury and lust, Luo Quan knows a Loli Island abroad.

There is something similar in China, and it is also very famous, that is, the Haitian Feast.

However, in recent years, it is said that it has transformed into a large-scale business exchange meeting, but it is unknown whether it continues to hold parties in private.

In short, the tricks that rich people can play are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so "Akatsuki Era" was shot conservatively.

But you definitely can’t say this completely during the live broadcast. This is in the true sense that everyone who knows something understands it, and it’s useless to say it if you don’t understand it.

When meeting the movie this time, Luo Quan seemed to chat a lot and even praised "The Age of Dawn".

But in fact, fans can tell that Luo Quan is criticizing the domestic producers of bad movies.

If we really want to talk about why the domestic film and television environment is so poor, these bad film manufacturers will bear the biggest blame.

Their works fill the big screen, and it is the real bad money that drives out the good money.

However, in the modern era of capital and rampant traffic, China Film and Television has long passed that golden period of development. It is already extremely difficult to reverse the current situation.

Just like the Chinese music scene, this cannot be saved by one person. At most, it can only raise the ceiling of this industry higher.
