Chapter 240: The polarized reputation after the release, Su Yi: This time we are going to create ‘rumors’! ’’
From the beginning, the movie had no main plot.
In other words, the main plot this time is natural disaster!
After facing natural disasters, various departments and people’s attitudes towards natural disasters.
To be honest, the movie still has some artistic elements in it.
But when the fire officers, law enforcers, doctors and soldiers came up, almost everyone had tears in their eyes.
The first half is about natural disasters, but the second half is about rescue and self-rescue.
This movie does not meet the standard of a commercial movie. Although there is emotional processing in it, it is not overly sensational, just to the point.
It looks a bit strange, as if it is a promotional film.
Although the price of this special effect is already worth the ticket price, some people are still a little disappointed.
But it gave everyone a great shock.
The movie Tangshan Earthquake has not been released yet.
It can be said that this is the first natural disaster movie, and it is a 3D version.
Liu Shishi tried his best to comfort the children trapped in the rubble and refused to let them sleep.
Because she knew that once she fell asleep, she might never wake up again.
In another city, Yang Mi, who was wearing a white coat and his face covered with sweat, was also delivering a child who was suppressed. The mother was already dying, but she was working hard to provide a survival environment for the child in her belly.
The soldiers worked tirelessly to dig day and night.
The area of the earthquake is too large. In order to explore the situation in various places.
Many paratroopers parachuted under extremely harsh conditions and marked the locations where supplies needed to be dropped.
In the face of natural disasters, almost everyone is desperate.
There is no deliberate sensationalism in this paragraph, but after the baby was born, the loud cries, and the people working in various professions on the front line, when they were exhausted and exhausted, they still couldn't help but burst into tears.
“I want to eat! I haven’t eaten for a day!”
“Why don’t you save my mother! I hate you!”
“My bankbook, I Money. What do you people from the Earthquake Bureau do for food?”
When there are voices of gratitude, there will be voices of complaint.
Although the movie doesn't show much evil, it is a little more realistic.
Some people are struggling to move forward, while others are complaining.
The audience fell into deep thought after seeing it.
I seem very angry now, but what if it happens to me?
Liu Yifei is a savior, but she didn’t choose to save her mother who lost too much blood before. Did she just ignore her and die?
Will the brigade commander be punished?
Although I was trying to save people, I didn’t get the order from my superiors!
All this is confusing to the audience.
Why shoot like this?
Come up with a touching story and exaggerate the natural disaster.
It can even be divided into several independent short stories.
The dedication of the fire captain, the persistence of the law enforcers, the brigade commander's 'disobedience' in disaster relief, the doctors played by Liu Yifei and Yang Mi sacrificed themselves to save others, and the teacher played by Liu Shishi ignored his own life
< br>No matter which one it is, it can be shot into a touching movie.
But it seems a little rushed.
However, from the beginning of the movie to the present, the horror of natural disasters is fully demonstrated.
And it also contains a lot of tips for dealing with disasters.
The most important thing is to let the public know the government's emergency measures and procedures.
Half commercial movie, half popular science movie?
The end of the movie is sunny.
All the disasters have passed, and countless supplies have come in from all over the country.
From time to time people were dug out of the rubble.
The movie is here and has finished playing.
Finished?
Many viewers did not react.
The movie tickets this time are definitely cheaper than those at Changjin Lake.
Because it usually only takes more than an hour.
There is no sensational music, and there is no ending.
Even the ending of the fire captain was not explained.
Is this directed by Su Yi?
If you just look at the special effects, you can definitely match it.
But this plot always seems to be pieced together.
The script was not well polished, it was more like a documentary.
But those things that happened during the earthquake are remembered by people.
Especially things encountered in movie plots.
Stay away from telephone poles and high-rise buildings. When facing strong earthquakes, try to get as close to the table as possible. For minor vibrations, get under the table, etc.
And even if you are trapped, you must have faith.
Someone will definitely come to save you!
Must persist!
Many people walked out of the cinema in a daze.
They didn’t wait for any easter eggs.
But I saw the fresh air and bright lights outside.
They understand that no natural disaster occurred and they were not buried under the ruins. This is the best easter egg!
·····
The next day.
This time, Su Yi’s film received not only positive reviews.
Whether it is intentional or spontaneous.
But there are many more negative comments!
"Is Su Yi's talent exhausted?"
"IMAX·3D special effects are full, but the plot is not rich enough! He seems to be in a hurry to shoot!"
"To put it bluntly, This is a very rough movie! It’s even a patchwork movie!”
"I admit, the special effects of the movie are very good, and the acting skills of several actors are also top-notch! But it is far different from the previous works produced by Su Yi, which must be considered high-quality! If one of the stories can be filmed well, it will still be very good! But it feels like I’m biting off more than I can chew!”
“I feel pretty good! Are you questioning directors who have won Oscars and Cannes Film Festivals?”
“That’s right. The movie is thought-provoking and does not use the usual sensationalism, but it makes people feel how wonderful it is to be in the Dragon Kingdom. It also has done a good job for the relevant departments! If such a thing happens, just copy it! ”
"I don't think so. This can't be a script that Su Yi could have written by himself! It's more like a promotional video! All departments worked together to save the people in the disaster area!"
Discussion on the Internet The sound was very loud.
But no matter what, the Douban score is only 7.8!
This is the lowest rating Su Yi has received since he made a movie.
Su Yi did not make any response.
And they didn’t seem to pay attention, and even seemed to disappear.
Seeing that there was no response from Su Yi, and even the entire crew of actors did not say anything, some people became even more arrogant.
Media interviews.
“Genius depends on the needs of the times to determine whether it should exist. Director Su Yi, I am not familiar with him, but I think there is no such thing as genius. A successful movie requires too much You’ve worked hard.”
Chen Kaige coughed, not targeting Su Yi, and even revealed the relationship between the two.
But everyone knows that he is talking about Su Yi.
"Then let me ask you, is "Farewell My Concubine" also a credit to the entire crew!"
Some reporters asked 'sharp' questions.
Chen Kaige paused and suddenly became a little angry.
Does he know what this movie is about? It has something to do with his father and the actors.
However, because the main actor Su Yi could not be found, he decided to cast doubt on Chen Kaige and other famous actors. The director conducted the interview.
Zhang Yimou avoided answering, and Ning Hao, the director of the New Generation Sixth Generation, left with a dark face and refused to answer any questions.
Several celebrities who were blocked by reporters did not express any opinions.
Even some of the freshmen who participated in the heroic attack before did not answer.
Joke, when the situation is unclear, offend Su Yi?
Crazy!
Su Yi is not only a director, but also represents the officialdom.
Such a person does not fall down casually, and only Chen Kaige can criticize him.
But I dare not make it too obvious.
"As for this movie, I watched it and it is indeed similar to what was said on the Internet."
Chen Kaige directly used the 'ultimate move'.
How incompetent is he? He is also the best director at the Palme d'Or.
There is still a certain weight to what he says, although he doesn't dare to say too much.
But no matter what, at least there is freedom of speech!
And it’s not going to stop anyway.
And Chen Kaige has finally figured it out, even if he is soft on Su Yi now, it will be of no use.
Because even if you give in, it won’t be a shame, and Su Yi won’t do anything.
It is better to take this opportunity to knock down Su Yi's reputation. Chen Kaige is not too worried about other things.
Because he knew that he would never be able to catch up in other fields in his lifetime, so he just kept working hard to the end.
Anyway, it is a dispute between two directors. Han Sanping will not have too obvious bias, let alone other departments of the system.
"Excuse me, what do you mean by what is said online? Can you explain it to us in detail?"
One of the reporters suddenly asked, after the movie premiere, The pre-sale box office is 50 million, and when you add in the actual tickets sold, it’s almost 160 million, which is already a very high box office.
However, the online reputation is polarized. Even though Chen Kaige has been on the street for the past two years, he is still qualified to comment on the movie.
“Many people on the Internet say that this drama is the work of director Su Yi who has exhausted his talents. I disagree with this point, but human talent has its limits after all, but after all, director Su Yi It has opened up the box office market of Dragon Kingdom. I don’t deny this, but it also proves that the public is very supportive of good movies. Some movies that make money without any sincerity will definitely be criticized!”
Chen Kaige had something to say and did not dare to directly denounce Su Yi.
After all, he is still the director within the system.
But in this case, it still makes sense.
After all, this movie ticket costs more than 100 yuan.
In 2008, it was still very expensive to go to the movies for more than 100 yuan.
Even in 2023, many people will watch special movies for more than ten yuan.
And it accounts for the majority.
Chen Kaige was not afraid at all. Chen Hong was a little worried, but he soon felt relieved.
After all, Chen Kaige is not the first to talk about Su Yi.
Many film critics felt that this movie was shoddy, which somewhat damaged Su Yi's previous reputation.
There are even many newspapers that use the expression "deep love and deep responsibility".
It also proves that Su Yi is not one-note in the film industry, and there is no official criticism!
After the premiere, some people criticized Su Yi that night.
And the most important thing is that Su Yi did not respond, and the same was true for other actors.
Even if the news can be known to more people, it proves that the official will not care.
That’s why Chen Kaige answered this question head-on during the interview.
Anyway, everyone said that if you want to settle accounts after the fall, you can't just come to me, right?
It is precisely because of Su Yi's silence that so many critical voices emerged.
But Chen Kaige's own face is not bright either. After all, all the money he shot in previous movies went to his grandma's house.
So after a few comments, I left in a hurry.
But he finally had time to step on Su Yi, and he would not give up this opportunity.
Not only some film critics, but also netizens are divided into many 'factions' this time.
····
A certain forum.
“Su Yi’s movie this time is a manifestation of his decline!”
“Put it down, this movie was shot well!”
“Are you still licking it? If you don’t do well, you will be scolded! This is how we can make progress!” , and the plot seems loose, but if you think of the protagonist as a natural disaster, it won’t feel confusing.”
"Fart, I watched the movie just to see the natural disaster?"
"Liu Shishi's acting skills touched me! Those words of comfort made me really cry. Although I also knew that the movie was fictional, But I would rather believe it!”
“Yang Mi must be a mature character. There is no sense of disobedience when delivering the baby. .Oh, even though the scene was short, it kept me awake all night!"
"Didn't anyone see that the fire captain saved a city? But he was probably in a vegetative state after inhaling too much poison! ”
“When I saw the troops appearing, I really wanted to cry to death!”
"Come on, Su Yi's shots are really good, but they are too sensational! He is good at emotional shooting."
"This time, we also received support from the law enforcement department, the military, and the education department. There is definitely no shortage of these scripts and scenes."
"Anyway, I won't watch such an expensive educational film next time."
"Yes, I feel relaxed when watching movies. This time it made me feel a lot heavier.”
Netizens started discussing and arguing.
Many netizens are still sensible, but at the same time they also express their disappointment.
Many people even went to Su Yi's blog.
But there was never a response from Su Yi.
This matter quickly became a hot search topic.
The breakthrough acting skills of Kuangbiao’s three girls ranked after more than 20 places.
The number one ranking is that Su Yi’s new movie is terrible!
The second one is where the dialect in the movie comes from.
The third place is, after an earthquake strikes, can a city be turned into ruins in just a few dozen seconds? Is the power of an 8.0-magnitude earthquake comparable to ten strategic weapons?
The media and the Internet have ignited the topic.
Natural disasters and earthquakes even caused panic in a small area.
Because the special effects are too real.
And the scenes filmed seem to be experienced personally.
Many media want to find Su Yi, want to interview Su Yi, and ask him why he wants to shoot in Wenzhou!
But Su Yi did not show up, as if he was really providing disaster relief. Except for his parents, the reporters found nothing at home.
The international channel also broadcast programs normally these two days, but no one saw Su Yi entering or leaving the building.
It was like disappearing into thin air.
Su Yi's silence does not mean the silence of the topic. ,
It even attracted international attention!
····
Foreign Service.
"We have no disaster-stricken areas for the time being. The last natural disaster was the heavy snowfall at the beginning of the year."
The person in charge of Longguo has explained it to foreign media many times.
He was not complaining about Su Yi, but was very shocked.
This movie has not been released in foreign countries, and it has not been published in English.
There are even a lot of dialects in the movie that many people from other places cannot understand.
Why did you get it abroad?
“But because of this movie, we have attached great importance to the possible disasters caused by earthquakes. The plates are moving recently and it is also an unstable period. We have done comprehensive testing to ensure that people’s safety and property will not be compromised. Damage! ”
The following are all taken by cameras.
The person in charge smiled bitterly in his heart.
Many influential international friends even came to ask if something happened in their hometown and they wanted to donate money.
After the meeting is over, I still have to report to the leader!
····
China Film Group.
Han Sanping's attitude was respectful, and his hands even trembled slightly.
The caller came to criticize Han Sanping.
He even called directly, bypassing Director Wang.
“How did this movie pass the review? Isn’t it enough? We just properly handled the things at the beginning of the year, and yet we came up with something that was fictitious? Although we are not in the same department, the film Does it have to be realistic? ”
How can it be called a movie if it’s realistic?
Han Sanping muttered something in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Because he couldn’t afford to offend the person on the other end of the phone.
"That's what the leader said. But this time the three departments jointly invested, I also took a fancy to this before -"
Although Han Sanping was respectful, the meaning of his words was still a bit neither humble nor overbearing.
"Xiao Han, I know it has not been easy for you over the years. You have developed very well with China Film, and we all see it. But this time it is a bit nonsense! Even if you shoot the Tangshan earthquake!"
The tone on the other side softened.
“It’s because we didn’t review it hard enough. But I don’t think there’s anything excessive about this movie. It’s just that the shooting time was a little wrong.”
"It's better now. People are panicking. Many people even called the local earthquake bureau for verification! How can there be any answer to this kind of thing? There are still times when the weather forecast is inaccurate! How do our staff respond?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little helpless.
The leaders above the General Administration of Culture and Entertainment, and are in charge of more departments, are also units under the direct control of the General Administration.
Han Sanping hesitated for a moment, but still chose to remain silent.
“You can consider taking it off the shelves in advance. It’s within control!”
Remove movies early?
Han Sanping smiled bitterly.
"Several departments have invested money! I don't think it is necessary. I will let Director Su express his position, and then we will put on a program and explain it well!"
Han Sanping said hurriedly.
Regardless of the two episodes, the reputation of this movie is divided. There are all kinds of praises for people who like it, and all kinds of negative things for people who don't like it.
But it’s still very profitable, and there aren’t too many principle issues.
It can also be promoted.
"Director Su has this ability, but where is he now? If I explain it, it is okay to say that this is an ordinary educational film. But I must respond."
"Don't worry, I will contact Su Yi now."
Han Sanping nodded hurriedly, this is considered the best result.
Otherwise, although the leader cannot intervene directly, he still has great energy.
But fortunately it is not a personal grudge against Su Yi.
Just a reminder or even a warning.
The same goes for Su Yi this time. Did he go the way of Chen Kaige?
But it shouldn’t be. In Han Sanping’s opinion, as a disaster movie, it is the first one about earthquakes.
The quality of the movie is nothing to say.
There’s nothing we can do about it because the narrative isn’t deep enough. It’s not long enough.
And the whole article is actually about the process after the arrival of natural disasters.
But the impact is still too great!
In Han Sanping's eyes, several directors have different abilities.
Because Su Yi is too young, in addition to his novel and powerful scripts, he may be slightly inferior to Zhang Yimou and others.
This is already a very high evaluation from Han Sanping.
After all, the characters in his eyes are Zhang Yimou, Li Xian and others.
But as Su Yi shoots more works, he is slowly catching up.
Chen Kaige is one of them. He thinks that being different has become a demon, and he has even lost the 'spiritual energy' he had at the beginning.
But what Su Yi is best at is actually emotional resonance.
Su Yi is invincible in this regard.
Parasite, 12 Years a Slave, Changjin Lake
But this time, the emotions that can be explored deeply are abandoned and only briefly described.
What is more likely is the arrival of natural disasters - many people are already searching online.
Are the visions before the earthquake real?
Whether such rescue will be done after the earthquake!
To be honest, the Tangshan earthquake is a bit old.
And the level of technology is definitely not the same as it is now.
So there is no comparison.
At first, Han Sanping thought Su Yi was going to shoot the Tangshan Earthquake!
Now that the movie is on the shelves, Su Yi’s final intention is unknown.
Now the leaders above are worried, saying that it has caused panic.
Actually, this is true.
If Su Yi were here, he would understand.
When the 2012 apocalyptic movie first appeared.
First it caused panic in North America, and they asked the authorities why they did not announce these things.
Even sparked protests.
But the so-called Mayan prophecies and the like are all false.
However, despite the refutation of the rumors, many people still believe it.
Especially those who are religious.
This movie also used the topic of world destruction to dominate the box office!
The same is true this time.
There are many people in the Dragon Kingdom, and their resistance to some rumors is very low.
So this movie quickly caused panic in Shu and surrounding cities.
Many locals even left the place.
This made the superiors quite angry.
They believe that Su Yi's film has created panic and should be removed from the shelves. Even if they think Su Yi is a 'hero' and cannot be forced, they should still make an explanation.
Thinking of this, Han Sanping took out his mobile phone.
Dialed Su Yi's number.
"The number you dialed is not on the server!"
This brat has been unable to be contacted.
Did you remove the battery?
Han Sanping was a little helpless.
But he thought about it and called the producer’s cell phone.
This is someone from China Film Academy.
"Let Su Yi answer the phone!"
"Leader! Director Su is not with me! They stayed in Shu, I came back by myself!"
" Then what are they doing?”
“I don’t know if the local environmental protection department wants to sue Director Su!”
Environmental protection department?
Report?
Han Sanping was stunned.
80,000 extras, a whole city cooperates with your shooting, and now you are being sued by the environmental protection department!
How is this exactly the same as Spielberg’s experience back then!
····
Sichuan, Wenzhou.
Su Yi looked at the scenery in front of him and sighed after a long time.
I was originally the director of the propaganda department.
This time we are going to create rumors!
Thank you all for your monthly votes!
