Chapter 315 Standard Ending
"San Francisco Chronicle", thirty-three points, "If you are a girl between the ages of twelve and fourteen, you will like it, but only within this range."
A critical hit at the beginning.
Without spoilers, we use the simplest and most direct language to complain, sharply grasping the key points and pointing directly to the essence of the movie.
The media comprehensive review website has its own characteristics. If it is a good review, it is green; if it is a negative review, it is red; if it is a neutral review, which is neither good nor bad, neither good nor bad, they will use yellow to express.
It's clear at a glance.
On the comment page of "Princess Diary", you can see the dazzling red color at first glance, hanging high at the top, and your emotions immediately become tense.
Brad couldn't hold it back and exclaimed. It took him a moment to react. He covered his mouth and glanced at Anson secretly with worried eyes.
The eyes and movements made Ansen burst out laughing without holding back.
"This is not the end of the world." Anson comforted Brad in turn.
Brad was a little anxious, "But..."
It's impossible not to be anxious. Even if you keep telling yourself that there is no need to make a fuss over one comment, human nature is like this, and ten good reviews are worth it. But the harm caused by a bad review.
What's more, when you open the screen, you will be hit by bad reviews.
Ansen looked calm.
From the time he took over the filming of "Princess Diaries", Anson knew that this was not a popular hit with word-of-mouth hits. The market positioning of this type of commercial popcorn is very clear. It is to satisfy young boys and girls. It's a daydream, it has no deep meaning and lacks artistic value. Bojun just smiles.
For such a work, it is impossible to get a round of applause from media reviews, and it is even possible to predict the accusations and criticisms that the film will encounter in advance.
Of course, even though I was mentally prepared, I was still a little disappointed when I actually saw the dazzling red color; but under Brad's exaggerated performance, everything became easier and the smile appeared. The corner of his mouth.
Anson made a little joke, "What actor hasn't appeared in two or three bad movies?"
Brad was speechless, "Anson!"
Oops !
Suddenly, James woke up from his sleep again, sitting up straight like a zombie, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Anson looked at James, "It's okay, Brad saw the movie "
James yawned, "Where is it? It's not from the Times, right?"
In Los Angeles, "The Times" refers specifically to the "Los Angeles Times." "; In the entire North America, "The Times" refers specifically to the "New York Times", but no matter which "Times" it is, its influence is second to none in the entire North America.
To be more precise, the two Times plus the "Wall Street Journal" are currently the top three most influential media in North America, and the "Washington Post" is still slightly behind.
If it is a negative review from the "Los Angeles Times", it will have a very direct impact on the box office of the movie. After all, it has a large user base and is trusted and favored by users.
Anson looked at Brad, "It's not 'The Times.'"
Brad rolled his eyes angrily, "The 'San Francisco Chronicle' is bad enough, okay? ?”
On the West Coast, the “San Francisco Chronicle” also has a large number of subscribers.
Anson gently pressed his right hand down, "It's okay, it's okay, this is just a media."
Then, the webpage slowly refreshed, and the air became quiet - twenty-seven points, "childish, stupid, sugar water without any concentration."
Thirty-six points, " If you use bubble gum to describe it, it is simply an insult to bubble gum, because at least bubble gum still has sweetness and you can spit it out after chewing it. However, this movie is not even worth chewing. "
Forty points, "Gary Marshall should stop producing such nutritious visual garbage, which is neither beautiful nor colorful nor gorgeous nor romantic nor good-looking."
Forty-three points, "If you are right because of Julie Andrews Movies hold hope, so it’s best to kill it. This is the best way.”
Seventeen points, "Please don't get me wrong, I very much look forward to and welcome Julie Andrews to return to the big screen; but if it is a work like this, I would rather she not come back."
Forty-eight points, "Nothing A daydream of nutritional value, the movie is not only simple but stupid, the unrestrained spoof and disgusting comedy are like a poor middle school stage play. The mental age of this script is at most fifteen years old, no more."
Bad review. Bad review. Still a bad review.
Bad reviews meet bad reviews, and the negative reviews are completely washed away. Such a page is really shocking. Brad even forgot to exclaim and was completely stunned.
Including Anson.
If Anson said he was indifferent, he would be lying.
Even though he knew that "Princess Diaries" was not a critical hit, even though he knew that "Princess Diaries" still achieved great box office results and continued to get the opportunity to make sequels, even though he knew that "Princess Diaries" later became a classic and has been used for many years. Disney has always wanted to reboot or film a third episode, and all signs prove that this is the right choice.
But now seeing the one-sided negative reviews, it still affects my mood very much.
And.
Brad noticed a movie review, and so did Anson——
Robert Ebert, the famous film critic from the Chicago Sun-Times.
In the entire North American film market, there is one professional film critic who is very special.
He is the first and only film critic in history to win the Pulitzer Prize for his film reviews. He has his own books, columns, websites, and even film festivals, although his film reviews are The Bible is a bit too pompous, but it is undeniable that his film reviews are indeed profoundly influential.
There is no other reason. He insists that the quality of a movie is a relative value rather than an absolute value.
A simple example, as a disaster movie, "Tornado" is inferior to "Titanic"; but compared to "Molten City", it is an excellent movie.
In addition, he also believes that a movie with a mediocre reputation does not mean that it is not worth watching, because some commercial popcorn is worth enjoying a moment of relaxation in the cinema; a movie with an outstanding reputation does not mean that it must be watched, and some art films are worth watching at the beginning of their creation. Not intended for widespread dissemination.
Thanks to such unique insights, he has indeed won a place in the circle of filmmakers. Not only the audience, but also producers, directors and actors are willing to refer to his opinions.
This film critic is Robert Ebert.
Robert Ebert did not like "The Princess Diaries".
Thirty-eight minutes, "The quagmire monster is pieced together after recycling a bunch of discarded stories, sometimes falling into sitcom-style funny plots, sometimes staying at the self-destruction of stupid spoofs."
Bad things happen after all.
Although the negative review from the "Los Angeles Times" that James was worried about did not happen, the appearance of Robert Ebert's negative review was still a fatal blow.
Obviously, the debut of "Princess Diary" did not receive a round of applause and cheers. After experiencing the praise and popularity of "Friends", is it a wrong decision to choose a role like "Princess Diary"? , Anson's career as an actor officially hit a wall before he had time to gain a firm foothold?
So, what to do, what happens next?
