The central media criticized Douban's bad comments and led the audience to refuse to watch domestic films. What do you think of this?

As the mouthpiece of the country, the central media actually tore up film critics and professional film rating platforms in order to endorse several bad films, which is really an anecdote through the ages. The minions of power actually extend to the film circle, which is too long.

But this time it was between the film critics and the central media. I am a film critic this time, and the freedom of speech that film critics should have must be guaranteed. I went to see Zhang Yimou's new film "The Great Wall", in order to verify whether the film critic's statement is true. After reading it, I found that the film critics didn't bully me. The movie "The Great Wall" is just a picture, but I can't say that I am distressed by the ticket money. After all, I'm going to watch bad movies.

20 16 can be described as a collection of bad films, which is actually expected. With the intervention of capital, film is becoming a fast-moving consumer goods. Film is no longer linked to art, but is firmly held by capital. It is normal for the film quality to decline, but the result of such a big investment and big production this year is a big bad film, which can be rotten to a record in the history of world movies.

There are countless bad films released this year, not to mention small bad films made by unknown directors. Nine times out of ten, everyone has never seen or heard of it. Let's talk about those "blockbusters" this year. We don't expect much from films such as threesome, A Chinese Odyssey 3, Grand Prix, Legend of the Gods, To Youth: You're still here. We knew how bad this film would be before it was released. There are also unbelievers who have to watch it. As a result, after reading it, some people accused the film critics because the film critics were not tough enough and the distribution was not low enough.

Fortunately, there are 1 1 month and New Year's Eve at the end of the year, and there are two works by great directors, Xiaogang Feng's I am not Pan Jinlian and Zhang Yimou's The Great Wall. I thought it was 20 16, and the last two domestic films are worth looking forward to. As a result, two international directors taught the audience a lesson. It turns out that it's not just the unknown director who makes bad movies, but also the great director who makes bad movies.

Let's talk about Xiaogang Feng's I'm not Pan Jinlian, which has been a hit for a long time. Xiaogang Feng took advantage of every opportunity to keep the topic, claiming that the subject matter was sensitive, and hyped Fan Bingbing's departure to tear up Huazhong Normal University and even Wu Da. It's only been a day since the film was released, and there are too few people who force Wanda. As a result, the Wangs were humiliated. I have seen movies, but I have never seen such a dead movie. Therefore, many viewers refused to pay for the film because they didn't like Xiaogang Feng, so they didn't go to see the film, which can be described as shooting themselves in the foot.

Besides, the film I am not Pan Jinlian itself is a failure from the inside out. Externally, on the one hand, the circular composition of the film is of no use to me except being unconventional. The audience can only see half the length of the full-price ticket, giving people a feeling of being cheated, and its impression is really quite bad. On the other hand, Xiaogang Feng's narrative is a bit excessive. Originally, many plots had to be explained by lens, but all of them were replaced by the director's pale voice. The director seems to have forgotten that this is a movie, not a radio play.

Internally, the biggest mistake of the film is to choose the heroine like Fan Bingbing. Bingbing is really not suitable to be a peasant woman. This is different from Gong Li's The Story of Autumn Chrysanthemum. In that movie, Gong Li really gave up her image completely, without any idol burden, giving people the feeling of being a real rural woman. But Fan Bingbing, who acted by herself, I don't see any shadow of Li Xuelian.

In addition, the plot of the film is also extremely unreasonable. The whole article tells the story of a woman who doesn't know the law, but it is such a rural bitch's visit that she can report this matter to the central authorities. Finally, a master came out and sent away a bunch of grassroots officials who did not agree to the unreasonable demands of bitches. Who did they provoke? Finally, the reason for the woman's petition, "fake divorce" does not matter. Are you kidding?

Well, people who expect Xiaogang Feng movies (including myself) are like fools, and have long forgotten how bad the banquet and personal tailor are. But fortunately, Zhang Yimou was named a "Buddhist" by the water army. The Great Wall directed by Zhang Da came with the aura of co-production between China and foreign countries, but it is still an old saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Although there is international superstar Matt Potato Damon to join us. But it can't hide its monotonous plot. The biggest problem of this film is the rationality of the plot. The Great Wall in this movie is not the Great Wall we are familiar with, but a puzzling existence. The whole story is so simple that it seems to have nothing to do with the traditional culture of China. It is a product of the Hollywood assembly line.

The choice of actors, not to mention the heroine Jing Tian, is a disaster for any film. It is estimated that any actress in the circle is much better than Tian Jing. Judging by netizens, if Matt Damon's acting is five points, Jing Tian's acting is only one point. The difference between men and women is too great. As for the little emperor Karry, this kind of star walk-on is totally unnecessary.

No wonder some film critics shouted "Zhang Yimou is dead". But director Zhang Da didn't think his film was bad. Instead, he sent a "warning letter" to the film critic, and even the central media stood up and denounced the outspoken film critic Niu X as a "national teacher". What's more, even CCTV knelt down to interview Zhang Yimou propaganda film. I estimate that film critics only dare to say one word now, "serve". I can't refuse to accept it. My arm can't twist my thigh, let alone his hair.

Although the film critics were discouraged, the central media was not prepared to stop there. Nowadays, the war has burned to all film critics and platforms such as Douban and Cat's Eye, accusing them of ruining the development momentum of China film market and seriously damaging the ecological environment of China films. However, the example cited by the central media this time is The Ferry Man, which is called the worst movie of the year. I haven't seen this film, and I'm too lazy to watch it. I don't want to say too much, but all my friends who have seen it feel sorry for M. Guo An.

The film market is really weak this year. The box office in 20 16 is expected to be only 45 billion yuan, only 65,438 billion yuan higher than that in 20 15. You know, at this time last year, the box office forecast of 20 16 was 60 billion. But in the eyes of the ordinary audience, it seems that the film critics can't be blamed. Why do many bad domestic films have higher box office?

But from the director's point of view, he is indeed a strange film critic. After all, movies, good or bad, are a one-time deal. Whether you think it's good or not, just watch it once. People often say "I watched a movie ten times and eight times" on the Internet, which are all wonderful and rare. Maybe you think it looks good and you will share it with your friends. If you think it sucks, you will persuade your friends not to watch it.

But as individuals, even in this era of high-speed information dissemination, only a few people can be affected. The influence of film critics is undoubtedly much greater, and a film review can easily read hundreds of thousands. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that film critics can "decide life and death in one word", but it will not be exaggerated too much. However, this is not wrong. It is the responsibility of film critics to evaluate films objectively. The purpose of watching film reviews is to know whether the film is worth watching.

There is only one standard for the audience to watch movies, whether it is good or not, and whether it is worth the money. And film critics can solve this problem, so it is very important for film critics to be objective and true. Assuming that film critics praise a bad film irresponsibly with money, or make malicious accusations, it will only make film critics lose their due credibility, which is ruining their jobs. As for the development of China movies and the creation of the environment by movies, I'm sorry, as an audience, we don't care.

Film is no longer a simple media model, but has become an industry, surrounded by various interest groups. Especially after the capital intervened in the film market, this circle became more and more chaotic. Quality and content have long been neglected, and everyone in this industry has long been blinded by interests, even big-name directors like Xiaogang Feng and Zhang Yimou are no exception.

But it has nothing to do with the audience or the film critics. Film critics only need to make an objective and true evaluation based on their professional knowledge and the plot characters of the film. The purpose of the audience going to the cinema is not to contribute to the box office, but to see a film of acceptable quality.

Why can't such a simple requirement be met?
