Chapter 794 The Picky Person
"A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" will be released soon.

This time, "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" has no advance screenings, no screenings, or even a premiere.

Lin Xiao was very cheerful, but it made some film critics who depended on this for food unhappy.

This is also normal. Generally speaking, before each film is released, the propagandist will organize film critics to watch the set.

But this time, "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" skipped these and went straight to the public.

This makes the film critics who rely on this to eat naturally lose a lot of income.

You must know that the thickness of the red envelopes of film critics is also directly proportional to the scale of the film.

"Basically they are red envelope film critics. A public account supports a group of people. Otherwise, how can fans cash in?"

"Don't expect them to write good reviews most of the time, as long as they don't write bad reviews before the film is released?"

It is said that I used to find red envelope film critics to write good reviews, but it is different now.Because there is competition between the films released at the same time, even if you don't find them, you can't guarantee that your opponents won't!
Once money is added, it is difficult for film critics to remain objective, which leads to film critics becoming less and less credible because their buttocks are not sitting upright.

So this has become the unspoken rule of the film industry.

Then some Chinese said, oh, how professional are the film critics in Hollywood? It’s actually nonsense, but their film critics are relatively more “professional”.

Those film critics in Hollywood in the early years were really very influential. The so-called 360-line industry tops the list. Famous film critics earn no less than stars, but they have managers.

But Hollywood wants these film critics to write good reviews and pay more public relations fees.You get what you pay for.

Of course, "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" does have such capital, because "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" does not need to be praised by people like them. The first part has already proved the quality of "Once Upon a Time".

As a sequel to a blockbuster, "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" has a very low probability of failure.

Moreover, it is Lin Xiao's work, and coupled with the incident of the last movie before, it can be said that "A Man Should Be Self-improvement" is directly heated up.

For such a movie, it is obviously impossible for you to expect him to fail.

However, this time, the High Heaven Pavilion did not engage in screenings by film critics, and they did not receive red envelopes, but they did not expect that someone would be willing to give red envelopes.

In fact, this is also very common. After all, it is normal for competitors to slander each other.

Da Liu is a film critic, um, Da Liu is more of a moral type, the kind who will definitely do things after receiving money.

He was paid, not just him, as far as he knew, many of his colleagues had been "public relations".

He came here specifically to give bad reviews to movies, but writing a movie review, even if it is a bad review, has something to say, so he has to watch the movie no matter what.

"A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" has more than 60% of the films scheduled in theaters across the country, and it naturally gets the treatment it deserves for a blockbuster.

There was no strong competitor in the same period, no way, no one would be foolish enough to confront the sequel of a blockbuster movie head-on.

Da Liu lined up to check the tickets, and then entered the screening hall. Da Liu glanced at it and found that it was basically full, even the seats in the front row were almost full, which shows how strong the movie's box office appeal is.

When the time came, the lights dimmed, and the audience at the scene became quieter.

What is routine is a bunch of introductions of the production company, and then directly into the feature film.

Unlike the opening chapter of the first "Top Gun", which is full of grandeur and historical sense, the opening scene of the second "Men Be Self-Strengthening" is a bit weird.

At the beginning, it was a night scene. In the dark night, the camera zoomed in on the plaque with the three characters "Chaotian Temple" written on it. The reason why it was said was a bit weird was that the first person to appear in the Taoist temple of "Chaotian Temple" was not a Taoist priest. , but a little girl wearing a strange tiara, she lights a candle and then smiles!

It was this smile that gave people a rather weird feeling.

Then the little girl lit a lantern with a candle and began to sing a song.

The ballad "Change the Jade Emperor in the sky, and the King of Hades in the ground" is sung from a little girl who is dressed strangely like a crown in an opera. Her seemingly innocent collocation is actually involuntary. I feel that the weird smile is even more abnormal.

Da Liu looked at the audience's reaction and found that everyone was paying attention, and they were a little surprised and curious.

Although he came here with the purpose of giving a bad review to the movie, Da Liu still had to admit that Lin Xiao's movie did have its own unique features.

Then, with the transition of the screen, in the passionate music melody, a group of people shouted in unison: "White lotus descends to earth, thousands of people turn over, help the Qing Dynasty and destroy the oceans, and share the peace!"

Everyone understood that this was the famous "White Lotus Sect" who specialized in rebellion.

Then the big villain Jiugong Zhenren appeared on the stage!
"The first day of the ninth month of the first year of the Yiwei calendar is the time for offering sacrifices to the stones of our sect. Wu Sheng's old mother preached to the disciples of the Nine Palaces, and observed an altar of Dharma in the sky, showing the power of my magical skills and carrying forward the divine power of my sect!"

The Jiugong real person pretended to read his lines and appeared in front of the camera!
Then there are cults that start to show their true colors.

The two believers performed a performance of swallowing fire and carbon, and the Jiugong real person came on stage again, of course he couldn't lose to the believers, so a series of wonderful jugglings such as defying fire, being invulnerable to swords and guns, and breaking steel knives with both arms made people dizzying. enough.

However, this is the era when strong ships and sharp guns smashed the country's gates. There are still big moves, changing clothes, facing foreign guns, Jiugong Zhenren is still unarmed, with an extra bellyband on his body, full of spells.

Then the foreign guns rang out, but Master Jiugong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was unscathed, showing the vajra body that even a gun could not break through Master Jiugong!

After a lively performance, the main event finally came. The congregation brought up a lot of western things, and the White Lotus Cult wanted to burn foreign things!

The other things are fine, but there is a cute Dalmatian among them, and the real master Jiugong commented, "The dog has skin sores, it must be a monster!"burn it! '

The dog whimpered, and it was so desperate. At this time, the camera showed the dog a close-up, with a helpless dog face, as if to say, I am so cute, are you willing to burn it?

That scene shouldn't be too funny, the audience couldn't help laughing out.

In the raging fire, the White Lotus believers set fire to these items representing the West, and in the firelight, a smiling face of a little girl was reflected.
I just don't know why, at this moment, the smile on the face of this little girl who could have been very innocent and cute at this age looks so weird.

Da Liu sighed, he came here with the purpose of picking thorns, of course, he sighed not because there were no thorns to pick, after all, bones can be picked out of eggs, let alone movies.

But in good conscience, Liu, the old driver who has watched countless movies, has to admit that the appearance of the White Lotus Sect is indeed very exciting.

Although the scene is full of style, there is always an evil spirit shrouded in this scene, and at this moment, he can understand that the crown of the real Jiugong and the drama crown on the little girl's head are actually the film's use of this method. Metaphorically, the actions of the White Lotus believers are a child's play full of ignorance, barbarism, violence and prejudice.
