《……》

After the first day box office revenue of "Fame and Fame" came out, various related reports flooded newspapers, magazines and online media.

Some are press releases from the film company and publicity channels, while others are spontaneous reports from the media and even netizens to take advantage of the popularity.

The reputation and influence of a movie are mostly determined by its own publicity and promotion. Unless it is done at all costs, it still depends mostly on other media, ordinary audiences and netizens.

For a hit movie in theaters, box office data is only one aspect; word of mouth and dissemination are more critical.

The better the word of mouth, the more audiences it can attract to the cinema.

The wider the scope of dissemination, the larger the audience base that knows about it, and naturally the more people will buy tickets.

The first round of word of mouth naturally comes from film critics. In fact, everyone now has a certain tacit understanding, and capable crews will look for some relevant cooperation.

In this case, we can’t say that the news will receive rave reviews, but at least the first round of word of mouth will not be maliciously influenced by others.

After all, for most movies, unless they are at the level of "Dreaming of Show Business", as long as you want to praise them, you can always find some advantages and highlights.

After the first round of cooperative film reviews was stabilized, the subsequent ones were basically those neutral film critics who did not receive any money.

These people’s evaluations are relatively objective if they don’t take money from the other side, but it also depends on their style and likes and dislikes.

For example, if you like horror movies, you may not be interested in comedies. If you hate Wei Yang, your impression of him will be lowered by your preconceived notions, and vice versa.

Film critics are also human beings, so word of mouth needs to be considered comprehensively, and the same applies to the evaluation of a movie.

So at this time we have to look at the proportion.

If you don't consider the money, if the movie gets more praise than criticism, it's worth watching. If it gets more criticism than praise, then it's likely to be a bad movie.

Film critics are still a minority, and are elitist and artistic to a certain extent. Their aesthetics and requirements are very different from those of ordinary audiences.

Therefore, with the continuous development of the Internet, the voices of popular channels such as Douban, Tianya, and Weibo cannot be ignored.

Especially Douban, no matter how many flaws this platform has, it is indeed the most authoritative film and television rating platform at present.

The scores calculated through combined voting by a large number of veteran movie fans and ordinary audiences may not be as professional as those obtained by film critics, but they are always more objective, scientific and in line with the public's perception than those obtained by just a few dozen film critics.

These are the three most powerful movies in this summer's movie season.

"Painted Skin", the highest-grossing film, has the lowest score on Douban, at just over 6 points.

The picture quality and special effects are impeccable, but the plot rhythm is very lengthy, and there are too many things to say, which makes the movie too scattered. This is also the disadvantage of director Wuershan.

This guy has strong skills and art style, but storytelling is not his strong point.

Therefore, it is a good idea for him to make an adapted movie to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. While maintaining the framework of the original work, he can make certain changes. As long as he does not let himself go too far, the effect will be quite good.

But when he makes an original story himself, he can easily confuse people.

Whether it is "Painted Skin 2" or "Swordsman", there is a bit of pretentiousness in both.

Judging from the current reputation, although "Painted Skin 2" has excellent box office, its reputation is terrible. Although it has not been completely classified as a bad movie, it is far worse than the first one.

Although director Chen Da's "Search" did not perform well at the box office, it was more due to the subject matter. The quality of the film itself is not bad.

The Douban score currently hovers between 7.3 and 7.5, which is considered very good among commercial Chinese-language films.

This is also a very rare film since "Farewell My Concubine" in which Director Chen participated in the screenwriting but did not receive too many criticisms, and it is even the one with the least controversy.

For example, "The Emperor and the Assassin". Although it has a high Douban score now, it was very controversial at the time and was considered a bad movie by many people.

There have been some reversals compared to those days, but word of mouth remains polarized.

Unlike "Search", although this movie is not amazing and cannot be called a classic, its overall reputation is above average, and it is considered a good movie that is recognized by everyone.

The score of "To Be Famous" is almost the same as that of "Search", starting at 7.6, then going all the way to 7.8, and then dropping back to 7.6, and it fluctuates in this range.

It must be pointed out that a considerable part of this score is encouragement and surprise points.

"To Become Famous" is Wei Yang's first film, and everyone will be more tolerant towards a "newcomer".

The ladies in the hair salon may not charge you and may even wait for you for several minutes, let alone the spectators.

As long as the movie is not too bad and has some value, people won't feel they were cheated. Even if people think the quality is average, many people will still give encouragement and comfort.

What's more, the quality of "To Be Famous" exceeded many people's expectations.

Many netizens and fans just watched the movie with the mentality of support, encouragement and fun, but they didn't expect that the quality of the movie was much better than expected.

When faced with an unexpected surprise, people will naturally be more generous when giving praise and giving scores.

It can be said that the proportion of surprise points is much greater than that of encouragement points. Many of the discussions in Douban film reviews are about the surprise at Wei Yang, a newcomer in the film industry.

Of course, there has been a lot of discussion about the "Famous" movie.

The advantages of this movie are obvious, with extremely vivid character creation and group performance. It would take several thousand words just to analyze each character.

In addition, the logical consistency of the suspense line, as well as the various details, traps and even blank spaces, all make people think about it and imagine it endlessly.

After the movie is over, analysis and praise are one thing, but various interpretations and associations are the highlight.

A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets.

The various interpretations of "Let the Bullets Fly" that year generated more than a million words in articles.

"Fame and Fame" naturally cannot reach the heights of "Let the Bullets Fly", but the styles of both are similar, which makes it very convenient for the audience to re-create and play with them.

Putting aside some malicious interpretations and rhetoric, Wei Yang did not stop the audience from performing.

As he said before, the audience's interpretation is sometimes better than that of the creator.

And the more it is interpreted, the more popular the movie will be, and it can even deepen the quality and classicism of the movie, and even bring great benefits to him as a screenwriter and director.

Wei Yang has always had a personal view that those highly discussed classics and even masterpieces were actually created jointly by the crew and the audience.

For example, "Let the Bullets Fly", as well as Johnnie To's "Gunfire" and "Black X Society", there are endless new detailed explanations every year.

Wei Yang believes that the creative crew put in a lot of energy and effort when filming, and he also believes that many details and metaphors were intentional by the creative crew.

But he also believes that there are many details that the crew themselves could not have thought of, but were over-interpreted and deeply excavated by the audience and netizens.

After all, no matter how talented the creators are or how much preparation they have done, they cannot compare to the decades of research by countless netizens.

Even until the end, the movie was analyzed frame by frame, every brick, every ray of light, every eye movement, and even every word of every line of dialogue had its own meaning and could stand out on its own.

Often when the creators themselves come, they may be confused when they see these interpretations.

Is that what I was thinking?!

This is not an exaggeration by Wei Yang. Although Wei Yang himself is a plagiarist, many of the plots are original. He was a senior screenwriter in his previous life.

He has really encountered many situations where he was confused after others interpreted what he wrote.

It's not just him, almost every creator can encounter similar situations, including those well-known screenwriters and directors.

Wei Yang also discussed this with Ning Hao and Fatty Wang, and they had also encountered this situation.

I also believe that it is impossible for Jiang and Du to have thought so thoroughly when filming. Many of the so-called interpretations and metaphors even conflict with each other. This is something that creators would never do.

But sometimes, due to various circumstances and face issues, it is not convenient to say it directly. When others ask if you thought so at the beginning, the best way is to smile and say nothing.

…

"…This movie is actually Nightingale's revenge story. The murderer is Nightingale, and Qi Leshan is just his assistant + secret admirer, and he helps to take the blame."

"It is even possible that these two are underground workers... The three elders are actually the white gloves of the Military Control Commission, so someone came to silence them..."

"The film crew was just an accident that disrupted the situation. The deaths of the last few people were probably caused by Nightingale..."

At the end of the roadshow that night, Fan Xiaopang looked at Douban’s related interpretation and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Wei Yang who was soaking his feet in the room to relieve fatigue.

“Did you have this in mind when you wrote the script?”

Wei Yang was stunned, a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He neither nodded nor shook his head, and just didn't say anything.

These guys are fucking bullshit!

The struggles among warlords and chaebols are understandable, revenge for one's father is plausible, and the underground workers' logic is barely coherent.

But there are also speculations that Qi Leshan is a KMT assassin, and the explosion was to fake his death and escape, and Xiaoda (Wu Jing) is an undercover agent, and he eventually followed him to kill and silence him.

The reason why I think so is that Xiaoda acted too stupidly, which does not fit Wu Jing's previous image of being decisive and ruthless. He should be playing the pig to eat the tiger.

Wei Yang: “…”

I have also played an alien, why don't you imagine that this is actually a conspiracy of the Trisolarans to invade the earth? Wei Yang has learned his lesson. No matter whether it is reasonable or nonsense, you can think whatever you want, anyway, I won't respond.

If there is a logical and high-energy interpretation, then I, Wei Yang, am awesome. "To Become Famous" may even become a classic in the future.

These are just meaningless guesses, and they have nothing to do with him. He makes regular movies, so don't try to take advantage of him.

We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. Our predecessors are really good!
