Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Li Lu was watching a movie while taking notes on her phone.

This film critic who used to hang out on the Internet has now become the editor-in-chief of the Light and Shadow Voice magazine.

Light and Shadow Voice is a magazine established by Fanxing Company five years ago. Its main content is about movies about film and television works. With the support of thousands of contracted film critics on Fanxing Film Review Wangshan, this magazine quickly became an authority in the industry.

Li Lu became the editor-in-chief of the magazine through Nie Wei's invitation. Nie Wei was impressed by Li Lu's ability.

On the Fanxing Film Review website, every film critic has a public score. The scores are mainly divided into three categories, which also represent the three qualities that film critics should have the most. One is fairness. This requirement is that you cannot evaluate a movie with prejudice, which is also the most difficult to do.

The second point is uniqueness. As a film critic, for a film or television work, you must be able to see the deep meaning that ordinary audiences cannot see, and have your own unique insights and understanding.

The third point is naturally the writing style. No matter how well the above two points are done, without the support of writing style, you can't write a film review that convinces the public.

At these three points, Li Lu's writing style, uniqueness and fairness can all be ranked in the top ten among all film critics. Her ability is naturally recognized by Nie Wei, and her recommendation as the editor-in-chief of this new magazine is also approved by all film critics. It can be said that she deserves the title.

As the editor-in-chief, Li Lu did not need to write articles in person, but as a fan of Nie Wei, she naturally wanted to see Nie Wei's works as soon as possible, so she came to the scene today.

She came today as an audience, but as she watched, she unconsciously brought herself into the identity of a film critic.

For the movie "Fantastic Beasts 2", she has given a score of 7.5 points so far. The selling of homosexuality is a highlight, but it is also a slot. The British always like to make a fuss about this kind of relationship.

I thought Ms. Rowling was a rare British person with a serious vision, but I didn't expect that the story that Harry Potter didn't come out, in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" after all.

There is also the quarrel between Jacob and Queenie, and the story that Queenie was bewitched later, which seems a bit far-fetched to Li Lu.

Li Binbin's snake girl is a very charming character in Li Lu's eyes, but unfortunately there are too few scenes. The relationship between her and Credence is also very interesting. At present, it is unclear what kind of relationship it is. Is it between love and adversity?

And at this point in the film, what Li Lu applauds most is Grindelwald's big speech in the cemetery.

The gloomy venue, but the magnificent momentum is captured, especially Grindelwald's appearance is particularly brilliant, a long passage, so dark that only the light at the door can be seen.

The round platform is full of dark wizards, no one speaks, and the scene is solemn and quiet.

Grindelwald's figure gradually becomes clear from the darkness, and the eyes of the dark wizards have been staring at Grindelwald's figure, until he walks to the center of the round platform and opens his arms. All the dark wizards stand up at this moment and applaud vigorously.

This shot instantly sets off the temperament of the great devil Grindelwald. Compared with Grindelwald, Harry Potter's Voldemort, who doesn't even have a face, seems too LOW and too temperamental.

"It is really a blessing for an actor to be able to act under Director Nie Wei." When Li Lu saw this scene and immersed in the charm of Depp, she also did not forget to sigh in her heart about the ability of Director Nie Wei.

Coincidentally, when Li Lu was sighing, Li Binbin, who was sitting in the front row, also said something similar to someone next to him.

"It is really a blessing to be an actor for Nie Wei." Li Binbin sighed.

In addition to the actor and the role, the charm of the actor depends to a large extent on the ability of the director. An actor may look very rustic under the lens of a director, but he may become very fashionable under the lens of another director.

When Chen Wenqing was filming "Farewell My Concubine", Mr. Zhang in his lens was very charming. In addition to the role, it was also the director's ability to capture the charm of a certain actor.

There are also actresses in the lens of Sunglass King, who can always capture the beauty of the era of the film.

There is also Chen Kexin, the actors in his lens will have a fantasy color, wandering between reality and illusion, giving people a mysterious charm.

There is also Lu Yang, who is very good at shooting male actors. The charm of every male character in "Embroidered Spring Blade" is fully displayed under his guidance. Every frame of the picture is really full of blood and rain, giving people a sense of real rivers and lakes.

However, in Li Binbin's opinion, Nie Wei is the best at exploring the charm of the characters.

After the movie today, she believes that Depp will have another charming role, just like his captain and his scissor hands, which makes the audience call him too charming when they think of him.

And Joseph, in "Inception", is a cold nobleman, but in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series, he has become a pure little freckle. Nie Wei is the kind of director who can use the lens to break the inherent image of actors in the minds of the audience.

This is also one of the main reasons why Li Binbin has always hoped to cooperate with Nie Wei.

After all, such a director who can explore the charm of actors and inspire their abilities is happiness for actors as long as they can meet him.

"Yes, I heard that Nie Wei also shot a TV series specifically for you. It will be released soon, right?" The friend asked with a smile.

"Well, one week later, Pearl Channel will broadcast two episodes every Friday and Saturday at 8pm."

"No way, only four episodes a week, too much, can't it be two episodes every night?"

"No, because the TV series only has 32 episodes. If it has two episodes every night, it will be finished in half a month." Li Binbin said with a smile.

Her words shocked her friend, who exclaimed: "Only 32 episodes? So few?"

She was very surprised, because there are basically no TV series that can be broadcast on satellite TV in China with less than 40 episodes. Even 40 episodes is considered a small standard. Generally speaking, it should be more than 50 episodes, and 60 or 70 episodes are not uncommon.

After all, the more episodes, the more money you can sell. When TV stations purchase TV series, they purchase them at the price of a single episode.

And most of the ones with less than 40 episodes are web dramas.

But the TV series shot by Nie Wei was intended to be broadcast on satellite TV from the beginning, but only 32 episodes were shot. She estimated that among the TV series broadcast on satellite TV in recent years, except for those TV series that were cut due to poor performance, this should be the one with the fewest episodes. No wonder Mingzhu TV changed to a double-broadcast mode in a week. As Li Binbin said, if it was broadcast every day like other TV series, it would probably end in half a month at most.

The biggest impact on the broadcast time of TV series is undoubtedly the TV station's advertising investment conference. After all, advertisers also need TV series to maintain a long-term popularity. Otherwise, if they invest so much money, other TV series will be broadcast for two months, and yours will be cut in half again. Even if it is Nie Wei's TV series, advertisers probably won't be happy.

"Because the director is Nie Wei." Seeing someone's surprised look, Li Binbin replied with a smile.

"Yes, because it is Nie Wei, he can be willful. If it is another director, I guess even if he wants to shoot 32 episodes, he can't do anything if the production company disagrees." The friend laughed.

"Nie Wei can be willful because he has the power to be willful and the ability to be willful. Do you want to make a bet? From the first episode to the last episode, "Signal" can guarantee the first place in the same period?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Who would bet with you on a bet with only one answer?" The friend rolled his eyes at Li Binbin and said jokingly.

Just relying on the two words Nie Wei, this TV series will be directly broadcast on the stars even if it has not been aired yet, even if there is no trailer, but in the eyes of the friend, this TV series must be the next ratings champion, just because it is written by Nie Wei and directed by Nie Wei.

With such a strong cast, she can't see any reason for failure.

Li Binbin laughed happily when she heard it. This is her return to TV series after many years. This is also her transformation work. She naturally hopes that the work can achieve very good results.

The story on the big screen continues. As Grindelwald publicizes his ambitions and ideals in front of countless black wizards, he also gets the support of these black wizards.

The story is here, and the final decisive battle is about to come.

In a decisive battle, Newt's brother Theseus' fiancée Rita died, and the audience's expected Queenie did not change her mind in the end, but continued to be bewitched by Grindelwald, and the "Obscure" Credence, who both sides had been fighting for, also joined the dark wizard.

However, in this battle, a mysterious key on Grindelwald was also stolen by Newt's magical animal Niffler.

When everyone returned to the magic school, Newt gave the key to Dumbledore, who revealed the secret of the key. It turned out that there was a blood alliance between him and Grindelwald, and the two sides could not attack each other, and the blood alliance was the key. Now that Grindelwald's key is in Dumbledore's hands, he finally has the possibility of breaking the blood alliance.

On the other hand, Grindelwald also told Credence's identity as promised. It turned out that Credence's real name was Aurelius Dumbledore, and he was also related to the headmaster of Hogwarts.

The film came to an abrupt end, leaving the audience with an open ending, telling all the audience that the next one will be more exciting.

"It is indeed Ms. Rowling's style." Li Lu put away her phone, listened to the complaints of the audience, and couldn't help laughing.

The Harry Potter series is like this. The ending always leaves the audience with a lot of suspense. The audience thinks they can find the answer in the next movie, but after watching the next one, they will find that the suspense in their minds has not decreased, but increased, because the suspense of the previous one has been solved, but more new suspense has been received in this one.

In Li Lu's opinion, these holes cannot be filled in five or six parts.

And looking at the performance of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Rowling may be able to write more than ten stories. In that case, there are really a lot of holes in one movie, and a lot of holes will be dug after filling them.

It's a pity that the next work will no longer be directed by Nie Wei.

Although the audience complained at the end of the show, it was more about the plot. As for the movie itself, the audience undoubtedly loved it. When Li Lu walked out of the theater, he could hear the audience's excited discussion of the movie.

Some people said Depp was too handsome, some expressed regret for Jacob and Queenie, and some were enjoying the romance between Joseph and Nina. Of course, many people were discussing what interesting magical animals appeared in the film, or how cool and dazzling Grindelwald's Fiendish Curse was.

Because it was just a road show and the film had not been officially released, the ratings for Fantastic Beasts 2 on the film review website had not yet been opened.

But according to Li Lu's own experience, the rating of this film should be between 7.5 and 8 points, which is not much different from the previous film. The fluctuation lies in the pair of Jacob and Queenie, which may cause dissatisfaction among the audience.

In short, it is another excellent film, and the box office is destined to be a big hit.

"In short, it is very exciting. Do you want to have a midnight snack at night? I will treat you." Nie Wei smiled and praised the two actors beside him. In the second part, whether it is Joseph or Nina, their cooperation is more tacit, and the final effect is also very good.

Nie Wei is very suspicious that these two people may have been interested in each other privately when he was filming the second part. Even if they are not dating, it is estimated that there is only a layer of window paper left.

"I want to eat crayfish, garlic, thirteen spices, and spicy!" Nina raised her hand and said.

Nie Wei was stunned, then he was happy and asked her why she suddenly wanted to eat this?

"Sister Binbin took me to eat it. It's delicious." Nina gave a thumbs up and praised.

This time Nie Wei was not surprised. It turned out that a local had taken them to eat. When Nie Wei heard Nina mention Li Binbin, he took out his phone and called Li Binbin to ask if she wanted to have a midnight snack together.

Li Binbin readily agreed.

When Nie Wei led Nina, Joseph and Li Binbin out of the theater, he also ran into Wang Zhonglei, who looked very high-spirited and his voice was several degrees higher than usual when talking to people.

Nie Wei did not go up to say hello, mainly because he did not want to see Wang Zhonglei's arrogant look.

Just as Nie Wei led a group of people to have a midnight snack, those film critics who had watched the Kyoto Roadshow also began to write their own articles, commenting on the movie without spoilers.

And the audience who had watched the movie would naturally not lag behind. Their actions were even faster than those of the film critics, because they did not need to consider so many professional angles and expressed their preferences completely from their own perspective.

In just one hour, the name of The Crimes of Grindelwald appeared in the list of real-time hot searches on Weibo.

The number of topic discussions increased by thousands within this hour, and as this topic became a hot search, more people joined in, and the popularity of the topic continued to soar.

Thanks to Lumia for the generous reward.
