Chapter 117 Film Critics Looking for Fault
In this day and age, there are not many midnight shows.
The number of screens is too small, and it is the cold north. Who can watch movies in the middle of the night when they are full.
It would take a few years for the midnight show to officially take shape. At that time, the number of theaters and screens had grown significantly, and people's movie-watching habits had also been formed. Only then did the midnight show come into being.
At this stage, even if you really want to see a midnight show, you won’t be able to find one. Cinemas are not open at all in the middle of the night.
"Shark Tank" is released.
Zhang Chen went to several movie theaters the next day to check the attendance.
There is even a queue in front of Wudaokou Cinema. There are many universities here and it is known as the "center of the universe". Zhang Chen's movies are quite popular among college students.
The key is really not finding pirated copies.
Xingchen Entertainment is really aggressive in anti-piracy this time. It not only offers rewards for reporting piracy dens, but also rewards based on the number of pirated sets seized. It also hires a large number of college students to keep people on a person-to-person basis to prevent the loss of copies. .
This trick is really effective. Zhang Weiping relied on this trick to prevent the loss of copies. Because of this, the copy clerk of a movie theater in Xi'an even committed suicide.
......
Wukesong Cinema
Li Chao bought two movie tickets for "Shark Beach", this time with his girlfriend.
Although he got a ticket for the premiere two days ago, he only had one ticket, so he went quietly by himself.
Today, my girlfriend suddenly informed me that she wanted to watch a movie. She came out overjoyed and found out that it was "Shark Beach".
Watch it again just watch it again. Other movies of the same period don't look good just by their names. Moreover, Fan Binbin in "Shark Beach" is indeed outstanding.
At the same time, film critic Zhou Limin also appeared in the cinema.
"Shark Beach" is so noisy these days, it's hard not to notice him.
Zhou Limin has a column in "Popular Cinema", and the interview for "Shark Beach" is behind his column. He also knows that there is such a movie to be released in November.
Just by looking at the title, you knew it was a commercial film with little artistic value, but Zhou Limin still bought the ticket.
Protection fees have always been one of the sources of income for film critics, but no protection fees were paid for "Shark Beach". How is this allowed?
Zhou Limin decided to teach the producers of this film how to respect film critics.
Not long after the movie started, the scene of the heroine changing into a swimsuit on the beach was played.
Zhou Limin sat up straight unconsciously. Isn't this just Chi Guoguo's show of eroticism, but it's so beautiful.
Not far away from him were Li Chao and his girlfriend.
Li Chaozheng was looking at it, and then he felt a pain in his leg.
Looking back, I met my girlfriend’s eyes that were almost burning with desire.
I was careless~
"Let you see, let you see again~" He was attacked continuously again, and there were two more black and blue spots on his legs.
But it was clear that there were sounds of swallowing saliva all around.
"Stop pinching, stop pinching, look, that old man with glasses is also looking at him intently~"
Li Chao found himself the one to take the blame, but his girlfriend didn't listen at all.
"I don't care, he is not my boyfriend. If you don't want to be my boyfriend, then just watch~"
Zhou Limin was a little embarrassed by the quarrel between the young couple next to him. , fortunately we were in a movie theater, so we couldn’t see him blushing.
Well, I came into the movie with a critical mind.
Zhou Limin found a way out of his heart, and then wrote down the eight words "showing off eroticism, low taste" in a small notebook.
Well, keep admiring, ah no, keep criticizing.
The characterization is unsuccessful and the acting is mediocre.
The language of the lens is quite regular, without any profound meaning.
The plot also does not focus on any human nature or social issues. I don’t understand what the director is trying to express?
In the entire movie, he didn't see anything core.
But it’s not a bad movie, because he enjoyed watching it from beginning to end, and when he recalled the entire plot and details, he couldn’t fault it.
This...
What is going on?
He was determined to watch it again, so after leaving the cinema, he immediately bought a ticket and watched it again.
This time he wanted to write down every frame.
There are many young college students who have the same idea as him, but they are all singles. Those who are not singles have been dragged away by their girlfriends, leaving behind more or less the same traits as Li Chao. of bruises.
……
In another cinema, film critic Shi Fan recorded a lot:
“Not long after the beginning of the movie, there was a close-up of changing clothes, and it was in a bikini... It was unsightly... This is simply selling meat. Movie..."
"Damn it, the cameraman's lens often moves around women, even ordinary shots have to deliberately stay on the heroine. This... is too bold, my God, how can it be possible? There are still people whistling when such a scene appears..."
"Who the hell is this director? Why did he suddenly change his style at 10 minutes and 45 seconds..."
Because of excessive attention During those shots, Shi Fan didn't even notice the change in the weather. Instead, someone next to him whispered, "I knew something was going to happen. I just saw the weather suddenly turned cloudy, and I knew something was going to happen."
Shi Fan felt a little regretful, as he seemed to have been affected.
Then the plot advanced rapidly, and the shark hit the surfboard without warning, flipping the heroine under the ocean.
All kinds of tumbling on the bottom of the sea, injuries.
The shark's first attack was too sudden, and the audience's heart was completely focused on the heroine.
The heroine swam up from the bottom of the sea, retrieved her surfboard, and climbed on.
When I was about to swim back to the shore, the accident happened again.
The shark came, bit the heroine's thigh, and pulled it down desperately.
The sea water is dyed bright red, just like the opening scene of a movie.
The girls exclaimed~
The boys’ hearts were also in their throats~
As if to give the audience a heart attack, the heroine swam to the whale carcass and began stitching herself with a necklace and earrings.
When she took off her earrings and necklace and prepared to do something, some timid spectators even involuntarily covered their eyes, afraid to watch this horrific scene.
The boys were more excited: "This woman is so cruel~"
Amidst the exclamations from the audience, the heroine gritted her teeth and completed the suture stitch by stitch.
“Hiss!!!”
Shi Fan's eyelids twitched as he was recording something in his notebook, a little unbelievable!
However, as a senior film critic, he has never seen any scenes, but he still watched the stitching process completely.
After reading it, Shi Fan felt his mouth was dry. This type of thing seemed to have never appeared in China before, so he quickly wrote it down.
“This woman is so awesome~”
“So beautiful and so sassy, I really love Fan Binbin to death...”
After the suturing was completed, the female audience members finally dared to open their eyes, while the male audience members all exclaimed in admiration.
“This movie is good~”
“Not bad~”
Shi Fan is also examining himself, is this movie really bad?
It really doesn’t have much depth, but why do I like watching it so much?
