Chapter 143 "Charlotte's Annoyance" First Day Box Office

On April 2004, 4, the second day after the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" was released, after a night of thinking about it, major entertainment newspapers across the country finally published some sharp comments about the movie "Charlotte Annoyance". review.

These reviews range from good to bad, with some praising the movie "Charlotte" and others relegating the movie "Charlotte" to dust.

Most of the film critics who think the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is good are praising that the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is funny enough, attractive enough, and enough for family fun.

And those who think that the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is not good, then attacking this movie is a bit wrong, and it is too obscene to please those middle-aged audiences.

Among them, the comments in the three newspapers, "Beijing Daily", "Modu Evening News", and "Entertainment Xintiandi", are the most eye-catching.

Among them, "Jingcheng Daily" has always had a good relationship with Cao Qing, so it is very positive in terms of movie reviews.

"This is an excellent comedy movie that is very funny and family-friendly. Not only is this movie not boring or boring throughout, but it also has a lot of laughs every few minutes, which makes people shine and like It's as refreshing as drinking a bottle of iced Coke in the summer. Editor-in-Chief, I think this movie is very worthwhile. Everyone should spend 20 yuan to watch it in the cinema - "Beijing Daily".

Compared with the positive comments on the Beijing Daily, the Shanghai Evening News has no contact with Cao Qing and has just replaced a new editor-in-chief, so its comments are very sharp and eye-catching.

"I went to see this movie with a sense of anticipation. After all, Director Cao Qing is the most well-known director in the Chinese film circle. Although the previous five films had their own advantages and disadvantages, they all performed very well. .”

"What I didn't expect was that I went to watch this movie with full expectations, but after watching it, my mind was filled with heavy thoughts. After all, this movie is too pleasing to those middle-aged unhappy people. , especially men."

"This movie is 100 minutes long in total. The whole story is about an old man who is supported by his wife and will be a parasite. After a ton of pretending to attend the goddess's wedding, he was torn apart by his wife ruthlessly. From now on, there will be endless stories of success, fame, luxury cars and beauties in a dream."

"But at the end of the seemingly chic story, the director Cao Qing probably wanted to let the audience feel that this movie has some connotations, so when the protagonist became famous, he arranged for him to be cuckolded by his own woman, and later because he got AIDS. And repenting of life, I understand that it is better to be content with life than to pursue wealth and beauty, and find a woman who loves you unconditionally to live a solid life with peace of mind."

"Such a value sounds good, but it is actually very dreamy and false."

"Let's not talk about whether there is such a woman who will always love you unconditionally in reality, just say that such a woman who has never earned a penny since she came out of society is supported by a wife and has a lot of old men with a temper A useless middle-aged man, what qualifications does he have to let a so-called prodigal son turn around after he has a good time in the dream, and let his wife continue to live with him."

"Don't tell me that the protagonist Charlotte finally reformed herself. This is just a virtual possibility created in the movie. In reality, such a character who has to be supported by his wife is like a parasite. A middle-aged man, he really has no value that can be forgiven by his wife."

"Someone told me that when you watch a comedy movie, don't pay too much attention to the three points. After all, it is not easy to make a good comedy movie among domestic movies; but I think, as the leading director in our country's film circle, Director Cao Qing has the ability and obligation to export the correct values ​​to audiences across the country, instead of blindly pleasing certain groups of audiences for the sake of box office."

"If even our country's top directors have this kind of box office thinking, our country's film industry will never rise again. After all, even if the commercial films shot by Hollywood are to please the audience, then they are Big scenes or well-designed plots made with real money are not so simple and yummy——"Modu Evening News."

One of the two newspaper media, Beijing Daily and Shanghai Evening News, published the film about "Charlotte Troubled Movie", one was very positive, and the other was very negative, but they both represented their respective audience groups.

After all, the current evaluation trend of the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is basically these two extremes except for a few neutral groups. The so-called intellectuals and literary youth feel that this movie is a bit too meaningless.

At this moment, the film reviews published on "Entertainment New World" appear to be relatively objective.

At the beginning of the whole film review, the editor-in-chief of "New World of Entertainment" praised the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" as very good-looking and funny, and then roughly pointed out the defects of this movie in the second half. Among the film critics who only care about praise or criticism, I have to say that it is really a clear stream.

"I think the movie "Charlotte" is quite good-looking. This movie is completely a very qualified comedy movie. It can not only attract people to watch the whole movie very easily, but also make people watch the whole movie very easily. I kept laughing throughout the whole process of watching this movie. This kind of comedy skills even reminded me of those classic nonsensical movies made by Xingye."

"However, compared with those classic comedy movies of Master Xing, the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" has an obvious shortcoming compared with those movies of Master Xing, that is, there is enough comedy, but not enough connotation."

"Although after the movie "Charlotte Annoyance", everyone can see the very obvious meaning of persuading people to have a harmonious family, but I have to say that the chicken soup cooked by Director Cao is a bit too shabby. "

"First of all, it's Charlotte. He was a complete loser before he crossed over. He relied on his wife to make money to support him in everything. He knew what to do every day to open his mouth and stretch out his clothes. The woman Ma Dongmei behaved like this. Both like his wife and like his mother."

"After crossing, Charlotte seems to be very successful, not only gaining both fame and fortune, but also has beautiful women in his arms. However, all these successes are due to the external things he plagiarized from another era. In fact, as far as he is concerned, There is no improvement in talent."

"Ma Dongmei is such a wonderful woman. Not only does she want to make money to support the family, but she also takes care of all the housework and pays tribute to her husband like an ancestor. After it's over, it's not her who he loves, but the green tea whore of his first love. Afterwards, my husband To whitewash her and be tolerant is a very uncomfortable value.”

"But overall, the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is still a very good comedy. The only shortcoming of this movie is probably that the inner values ​​​​of the movie are not correct, but Charlotte wakes up at the end of the movie. The performance is quite hardworking, and this is probably the only thing that Ma Dongmei can be gratified about, and it is also Director Cao Qing's original intention of persuading people to be kind in the movie - "Entertainment New World."

……

In the office of the president of Tenda Film and Television Entertainment Company, Cao Qing was flipping through the newspapers that the company secretary had specially bought and placed on his desk in the morning. He looked thoughtfully at the information in these newspapers about his sixth film "Charlotte". "Trouble" report, I also have a lot of emotions in my heart.

To be honest, Cao Qing was not annoyed by the criticism from the Shanghai Evening News.

After all, he had seen the movie "The Sorrow of Charlotte" in his previous life. After watching it, he felt that Charlotte was really a loser. The most important thing was that this character was still too weak to hold up the wall. Even if After being reborn once in the dream, he still behaved like a parasite when he returned to reality.

Charlotte, who has returned to reality, not only does not have the slightest remorse, and intends to work hard, but also has been clinging to Ma Dongmei like a giant baby, always clinging to her, completely without any thoughts and actions that intend to struggle and rise. The parasitic character Cao Qing also felt uncomfortable after reading the ending.

However, in the movie "Charlotte's Trouble" directed by Cao Qing, he has completely changed the ending. Not only did he make the reborn Charlotte have independence when facing Ma Dongmei, although she is still clingy. , and also became hard-working and determined, allowing Ma Dongmei to live a good life at the end of the movie.

However, it may be precisely because Cao Qing modified the ending of the original "Charlotte Annoyance" movie too much, so that the new version of "Charlotte Annoyance" filmed by Cao Qing seems a bit too much at the end. The chicken soup is terrible, and it has changed too much from the previous charlotte's useless performance, so many viewers can't completely equate the two images.

This is why Cao Qing's movie has obviously been modified a lot, but it is still somewhat disliked by film critics.

Fortunately, although most film critics feel that the protagonist Charlotte's change at the end of the movie "Charlotte Annoyance" is a bit too drastic, and too much chicken soup for people, those audiences still like it very much, and they are very happy with it. Being willing to spend money on this excellent comedy movie that has a happy ending will allow this movie to always run rampant at the box office.

In the CEO's office, after ten minutes of careful reading, Cao Qing finally slowly finished reading the entire contents of the newspapers in his hand.

Throwing these newspapers on the table casually, Cao Qing shook his head, sighed, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Jin Xiaoxiao.

"Hey, smile, have you read the media's comments on my sixth movie "Charlotte Annoyance" today?"

Just after Cao Qing's cell phone beeped a few times, Jin Xiaoxiao immediately answered the call.

However, after connecting the phone, Jin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when he heard Cao Qing's tone of voice that he couldn't tell the specific mood, and said in a cautious tone:

"I read those newspapers. Most of these newspapers and media are praising our movie, but some newspapers and media that have nothing to do with us are very presumptuous in their reports."

"Mr. Cao, do you want me to put some pressure on those newspapers and media who make random comments? If you have this idea, I can do it right away."

In the CEO's office, hearing Jin Xiaoxiao's cautious and open tone of reply on the phone, Cao Qing rolled his eyes, and instantly guessed that there was probably someone next to Jin Xiaoxiao, who had no connection with this matter Otherwise, Jin Xiaoxiao's tone of voice when talking to himself would never be so submissive.

Of course, the person next to Jin Xiaoxiao at this time is definitely not related to some paper media such as "Madou Evening News", otherwise Jin Xiaoxiao would never say that he would give them to the editor-in-chief of these newspapers when there are people around him. Sensitive words to apply pressure.

"Hahahaha, how could it be? The right to free comment is a right that every legal citizen of Huaguo normally possesses. How can we destroy this right?"

"The reason why I mentioned this to you just now was just for a casual chat when I saw you were not in the company."

"But speaking of it, we should still respond seriously to the words of those media online. In this way, we can not only give each other a warning, but also add some news to our movie "Charlotte" Popularity and fame.”

On the other end of the phone, Jin Xiaoxiao, who heard Cao Qing's words, immediately got another meaning in Cao Qing's words, and understood that he already knew that there was someone next to him.

"Okay, then Mr. Cao, I will ask someone for the phone number of the editor-in-chief of the Shanghai Evening News within an hour, and call him as soon as possible to explain the situation."

"I am currently discussing issues with Director Chen of the Purchasing Department of Mango Channel. This director is here to discuss the rights to broadcast the "Feng Yun" TV series that our company just aired a few months ago. I will give you the details when I return to the company. Report the situation."

"OK, I'll see you this afternoon. You can chat with Director Chen first. Many TV stations want the broadcasting rights of the TV series "Fengyun", so you can talk about it."

In the CEO's office, after hearing Jin Xiaoxiao's words, Cao Qing gently took the phone away from her ear, smiled meaningfully and hung up the phone.
