Chapter 91 Chen Hong: A momentary defeat is nothing, keep up the good work
1L: "Damn it, rich brother. A movie ticket is so expensive, what kind of wealthy family can this person watch for only ten minutes?" "Leave the show?"
2L: "I'm jealous. If I buy a ticket and go to the cinema, even if "The Tuner" is shit, I will eat it without feeling sick. But I don’t want to waste the movie tickets I bought!”
3L: “Leaving the cinema in ten minutes and posting online in more than twenty minutes. How can a wealthy family do this? ?”
The person who posted the post is a rich second generation. He looked at the replies behind the post and felt particularly wonderful.
However, when he turned to the reply in the second half of the post, his face darkened instantly.
"Where do you get so many bad words?" He began to curse.
The replies he saw were no longer about kneeling and licking him, but replies that mocked him and boasted about "The Tuner".
At first, there were very few such replies. He cursed a few times and regarded it as some stupid thing, and then ignored it.
However.
It didn't take long for him to feel something was wrong.
Because there are more and more similar replies.
Scrolling down, six of the ten replies were replies that mocked his bad writing and praised "The Tuner".
Especially when he saw someone replying and explaining some of the content of "The Tuner", he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be?
After Chen Kaige celebrates the Lunar New Year, he is preparing to go to Berlin with "The Promise".
He was sitting in front of the computer in the study room at home, browsing posts mocking "The Tuner", and he was in a particularly wonderful mood.
Even, I couldn’t help but register an account and participate in replying.
“The poster is right. I went to the cinema to watch it. “The Tuner” is really rubbish. Whoever watched it is an idiot.”
“I went to the cinema and bought “The Tuner” "Music Engineer" tickets, sitting in the theater feels like eating shit."
""The Promise" is 10,000 times better than "The Tuner", absolutely."
Since the account is not a real-name one, Chen Kaige is not worried about being recognized.
He was about to continue replying when he heard Chen Hong's shout outside the door, so he had no choice but to turn off the computer and leave the study in disappointment.
However.
He seemed to be in a good mood when he left the study, with a smile on his face from beginning to end.
Chen Hong noticed Chen Kaige's change and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? Why are you so happy?"
"Hey." Chen Kaige couldn't hide his mood and laughed happily, and asked in a hey voice. , "I just used my computer to surf the Internet for a while. Guess what?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Hong looked curious after hearing this.
"Hey, the Internet is full of posts criticizing "The Tuner" as rubbish. Some people even left the show after watching it for more than ten minutes and felt it was too boring." Chen Kaige said with a smile that almost broke his lips.
“Really?” Chen Hong was stunned when she heard this. She had originally planned to take some time to go to the cinema to take a look.
Unexpectedly, before even entering the cinema, it was revealed to be a terrible movie?
“Of course it’s true.” Chen Kaige said cheerfully, “Wang Shu, this guy, said in an interview that “The Tuner” is better than “The Promise”.
“ What do you think the netizens said?"
Seeing her husband's proud expression, Chen Hong asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Chen Kaige smiled and said with a curved corner of his mouth. , "They said that "The Promise" directed by me was ten thousand times better than "The Tuner"!"
Chen Hong was stunned again when he heard this, and asked subconsciously: "So, Wang Shu's "The Tuner" is really bad?"
"Of course!" Chen Kaige affirmed without a doubt, " If it wasn't so bad, why would netizens say such bad things to me?"
To show the intensity of the bad words and ridicule, he then said, "If you read the comments on the Internet, you will know, Netizens' evaluation of "The Promise" before was still light."
After finishing speaking, he snorted disdainfully, "It's such a bad movie that even the audience can't stand. Dare to keep saying that he wants to join the top three in Europe.”
“Heh, is he worthy?”
After hearing this, Chen Hong commented with a smile: "Young people are ignorant and fearless. They come from rural areas and have never seen the world. It is normal for them to say some irrelevant things."
Chen Kaige was startled when he heard this. , suddenly felt that Chen Hong's words made sense.
Chen Hong then asked: "When will we leave for Berlin?"
Hearing this, Chen Kaige smiled and said: "How many days will it take?"
< br>Chen Hong nodded and had no objection to this.
at night.
Wang Shu sat in front of the computer at home and looked at some netizens' comments on "The Tuner" on the Internet. He was so angry that he couldn't help but learn from Brother Xiao Ma's advanced experience and posted it in some forums and post bars. Register an account and reply as a "trustee".
There are rumors in the world that when QQ first came out, in order to retain users, Xiao Ma sat on the other end of the computer every day pretending to be a girl and flirting with male users, which made the male users extremely itchy.
Wang Shu is not as perverted as Brother Ma at the moment. He is just replying to the tuner in some posts.
As I continued to reply, I slowly saw more and more replies and posts praising "The Tuner".
His mood also changed from the initial anger to the relief now.
In just one or two hours, a huge change occurred.
At this moment.
The phone rang.
When I took it out, I saw it was from Chen Hong.
Wang Shu was confused, what was this person doing sending a message at this time?
Is it a New Year greeting?
This morning, Wang Shu sent a courtesy New Year message to Chen Hong.
However, Chen Hong never replied.
Now that he received the message, Wang Shu subconsciously thought it was Chen Hong's reply to the New Year greeting message he sent in the morning.
Although Wang Shu stepped on Chen Kaige during an interview before, which was regarded as offending Chen Kaige and his wife.
However, Wang Shu also explained to Chen Hong later.
Whether Chen Hong believes it or not, Wang Shu believes it anyway.
So, on the first day of the new year, he sent Chen Hong a New Year greeting text message.
As for Chen Kaige, Wang Shu didn’t have his contact information and couldn’t send it.
Even if there is.
He can’t send it either. "Be careful when you speak in the future, and don't say things without thinking again. A temporary failure in the movie is nothing, keep up the good work."
——Chen Hong.
Wang Shu took out his phone and read the message sent by Chen Hong, and was stunned for a moment.
What does this mean?
If you watched "The Tuner", you shouldn't have sent this text message?
If she hadn't watched "The Tuner", how could she know that the movie was a failure, or conclude that the movie was a failure?
Could it be that she also surfs the Internet?
However, if you surf the Internet, you should know that the evaluation of "The Tuner" on the Internet has changed?
Wang Shu thought it was better not to reply to Chen Hong, regardless of what she thought.
Don’t be curious or ask questions.
The next morning.
Wang Shu led the company’s team on a plane to Berlin.
Although the Berlin International Film Festival will open on February 9, the purpose of his trip is not to attend the Berlin Film Festival.
Instead
pretending to attend the Berlin International Film Festival.
After about ten hours of long-distance flight, Wang Shu and his party finally arrived in Berlin.
Due to time constraints, he and his team had no time to rest. They just made some adjustments in a short period of time and started working.
Wang Shu first changed into an outfit that looked like a human and a dog, and then went with the team to the venue hosting the Berlin Film Festival to take pictures.
"Oh, isn't this wangshu?" A staff member who was doing pre-festival preparations at the venue was surprised to see Wang Shu and came forward to say hello.
"Hello." Wang Shu was stunned for a moment and politely returned the greeting.
To be honest, he didn’t recognize the white man who suddenly burst into view.
"Hello, I am" Daniel proactively introduced himself with a smile on his face.
The two immediately started talking intimately.
"Wang, are you here to participate in this film festival?" Daniel asked curiously.
Wang Shu shook his head and said: "The film I made was not in time to register for the Berlin Film Festival, so I can't participate."
"Oh. That's such a pity." Daniel looked regretful. "You are the youngest director I have ever seen who can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival. I am still thinking about you coming again this time. If you can still win an award, that would be amazing."
"Haha, I will come again if I have the chance." Wang Shu and Daniel chatted for a while before leaving.
Then he and his team went to other places in Berlin and took several more sets of photos.
The team staff then sent each set of photos back to Yishu Company via email.
After doing all this, Wang Shu and his team hurried to the airport to board the plane and return home.
At the same time.
Domestic portal websites, such as Sina, Sohu, NetEase, and Tencent, have successively reported reports that Wang Shu is in Berlin and had a pleasant conversation with Berlin Film Festival staff.
For a time, many netizens who did not know the truth were confused.
A young director under 20 years old really went to one of the top three major European companies?
The discussion and popularity of the movie "The Tuner" surged instantly.
At the same time.
On blogs and other places, some well-known film critics have also made post-viewing comments on "The Tuner".
Gu Xiaobai: "What is life? Life cannot be separated from the liver."
"Director Wang Shu told the story of a fake blind musician who accidentally witnessed two murders through the film "The Tuner". It shows us the light of humanity of an ordinary person who struggled to death in the face of interests and finally lost his humanity."< br>
“Without humanity and thought, human beings would be worse than just eating hair and drinking blood, living like beasts. The lens is the basic unit of audio-visual language, and the application skills of the lens directly affect the final effect of the film and television works.”
“ There are some amazing scenes in the film "The Tuner" where the blind pianist is shown a camera when a beautiful woman tells her that her lover is a pizza delivery boy. At this time, the blind pianist is the only one who knows. , and this shot also shows the nervousness of the blind pianist. He is afraid of being exposed and being implicated in the incident."
"After the wife next door fell down the stairs, she took a bird's-eye view of her. The corpse, viewed from the perspective of where the beautiful woman is, the crowd downstairs is getting larger and larger. It is as if God is watching everything from the perspective of God, which further creates the image of the beautiful woman as inhumane. ”
"Color is a symbol of life and vitality in movies, and is one of the most vivid attributes of natural beauty. Therefore, color has become a traditional means of artistic expression in movies. Color itself can cause emotional reactions. The film "The Tuner" The main tone is dark yellow, which not only has a depressing, serious and depressing effect on the vision, but also shapes the image of the characters in the movie. ”
Zhou Liming: ""The Tuner" tells the story of a pianist who pretended to be blind and encountered various unexpected experiences after accidentally becoming a 'witness' in a murder case."
"A lot of Reversal, intensive conflicts, high energy throughout, and excellent character creation. "'When you are staring into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.' Carefully recall the foreshadowing and details in the movie. I can only marvel at Wang Shu’s incredibly profound skills in writing scripts and filming films.”
“I now believe that he is truly talented and is God’s favorite.”
< br>“Really, this movie is still reversing the plot until the last second. The end you think is never the end!”
Chen Kaige's ex-wife dared to join in the fun and published a paragraph on her blog.
“After watching it, when I thought about it, I found some small details, and then I watched them again to confirm.”
“First of all, the description of the movie in the last paragraph is very clear. This is what the male protagonist described to the female protagonist. A rabbit came out and hit the car, causing the car to lose control, so he escaped, right? "
"But, here comes the point."
< br>"First, the male protagonist was blind at that time. How did he know it was a rabbit?"
"Second, if the rabbit really hit the car, it wouldn't be able to kill a rabbit at a speed that can kill a person, right? But in the end, the rabbit was unscathed and ran away alive and kicking!"
"Then what made me think of these little details is that after the male protagonist finished describing these plots, the rabbit-headed crutch suddenly appeared. The director also gave a close-up of the rabbit-headed crutch. Combined with this, it was the male protagonist's own description, which is a hint. This was made up on the spur of the moment, the material came from around me!”
“And the ending of the can that was knocked away with a cane is a confirmation of the previous foreshadowing. This is still a lie of the male protagonist. The truth is that he is still dead. The cheating woman, her liver was really sold for money (which also proves the subtitle at the beginning of the movie: What is life, it depends on the liver), the liver was exchanged for money, and the male protagonist's life changed again, so he lived so freely afterwards. , the cornea was transplanted (or it was the cheating woman’s cornea).”
“There is also a personal concert in the main square. Because the male protagonist’s nature is hard to change, he continues to pretend to be blind, euphemistically called it: for the sake of artistic creation. . ”
“After thinking about this, I suddenly felt that the ending of the movie was not abrupt! It was like filling up all the pitfalls before! ”
"Wang Shu is really awesome. No wonder he dared to say in an interview that "The Tuner" is better than "The Promise"."
"I think he is right, "The Tuner" is simply better than "The Promise""
With a large number of clear and honest film reviews appearing on the Internet, and many viewers who have watched the entire film posting their thoughts on the Internet, " The reputation of "The Tuner" has quietly changed.
At first, many netizens immediately thought that those people were receiving money, and they posted words praising "The Tuner" online without conscience.
Then, when they saw the news that Wang Shu was in Berlin, attending the Berlin Film Festival.
Silence fell.
