I became famous after I didn't grow tall

The comprehensive score of "New World" on Guangying.com came out that night. With a high score of 9.6, Wei Lan once again reached the highest score in the science fiction film category.

This is a situation where the initial rating was high, but it is destined to fall as the number of film reviews increases. Just like the initial rating of "Country Teacher" was 9.7, and later it also dropped to 9.5, and now it is ranked second on the list. .

The ratings of "New World" on Guangying.com will drop in the future, but it will definitely not fall out of the top ten.

In comparison, "Star Wars" scored 9.1 points. Even though it is the last part of the trilogy, the score is much higher than the first two parts, but it is still not Wei Lan's opponent.

Open the movie review page of "New World", most of them have high scores such as 5 stars and 4.5 stars.

'When I saw the ending, I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. For that era, the future may still be a microcosm of the past, which is a wake-up call for us now. This is the meaning of science fiction works. 'Five stars

'Finally he is no longer the protagonist of Guang Weizheng. Such a gray protagonist is more realistic. For most ordinary people like me, we may have had many dreams and passions as children, but as adults, the reality is that we are all here. Being changed by society does not change society. 'Four and a half stars

'I never thought that a commercial film would dare to make such a film. Its theme is too literary. The point is that after watching it, you still feel that it is worth the ticket price and it has not lost its entertainment value. 'Five stars

Of course, there are also some low scores:

‘It’s so depressing. If the director is willing to change the ending, I’m also willing to change the score. ’3 stars

‘Why can’t Ah Xing stand up and resist? He has the conditions to replace Ou Shi as a member of parliament and create a new environment! ’2 stars

Among the long-term film reviews, the one with the highest rating is that of "Lao Lan fan" Cang Haixiao. There are also long-term reviews from other professional film critics, all of which have high scores.

In addition to the largest film review portal Guangying.com, many traditional paper media also published relevant film reviews.

The fact that Wei Lan's first work "Swordsman and Swordsman" was published in traditional media was proof that it was so popular that it was out of the industry. But now, these media film reviews can be said to be riding on Wei Lan's popularity.

"After making two commercial films, Director Wei finally came back with a shocking work that entered her favorite field of science fiction." - Big Movie Era

"Thought-provoking science fiction prophecy, flashes of thinking everywhere." - City Film and Television News

"It can be predicted that it will be a popular work for next year's Golden Tripod Awards." - Didu Entertainment

The prediction of Imperial Entertainment is not a wild lie, but because Mr. Shen Zhiwen, a well-known director and current judge of the Golden Tripod Award, was recently asked about his evaluation of the film when he attended an event.

As the most authoritative "Lanchui" in the industry, when Wei Lan's new movie was mentioned, the old man smiled in front of the media and immediately started talking about sex:

"I went to see it when it premiered. It's a great film. I'm going to write a long film review after I finish my recent activities."

When the interviewer heard this, he immediately asked: "Oh? You also wrote a film review for the last film "Country Teacher". What is your evaluation of this film? Can you tell us about it now?"

"Well, this movie is different from "Village Teacher"..." Shen Zhiwen organized a sentence, and then said: "It can be said that the methods of expressing the theme of these two movies are completely opposite."

"Rural teachers have used small things to see the big things to the extreme. From the incident of an ordinary little person on the earth, we can see the vastness of the universe and the precious sparks that human civilization, driven by countless ordinary people, has lit up in the universe. ”

"In "New World", it is in a huge and complete future world, reflecting the process of human beings being externalized. The two used opposite techniques to achieve the best effect..."

"Just like "New World" is actually a tragedy and an unconventional movie, but it also has a beautiful commercial format..." Speaking of this, the old man seemed very pleased and excited: "It has always attracted people's attention. It captures the audience’s attention and you will never feel bored while watching it.”

The reporter nodded beside him. If he could interview someone like Shen Zhiwen, he would definitely know a lot about the interviewer beforehand.

This gentleman is by no means a rigid and stubborn literary school. Although he comes from an academic background, in addition to supporting the connotation of movies, he has always held a supportive attitude towards the commercial aspects of movies.

He has said in public speeches and interviews in the industry more than once: If the film industry wants to develop, it must show its commercial value and attract investors. As long as it does not go astray and does something eye-catching, a movie The fact that it can attract audiences and box office proves that it is an excellent work.

Especially for new directors who have just entered the industry, only if they can prove their commercial value can their future career path go smoothly.

Therefore, he recommends literary and artistic films with profound themes, but he also does not reject Bo Yile's funny films.

Wei Lan's first film "Country Teacher" came out two years ago. It was highly praised by him for its combination of commerciality and depth.

Although the latter two works are more commercial-oriented, they have brought many new ideas and directions to the world's film industry. Now that Wei Langui has once again produced a film that takes into account both commerciality and depth, how not to Make the old gentleman happy?

"After watching "Rural Teachers", people are inspired and moved. It is the pride of civilized human beings for the positive side of their own civilization. After watching "New World", people are depressed and alert. It is also our self-examination of the negative side of our own civilization. In such a strong entertainment, such a deep theme was filmed, and the two were perfectly integrated. It is worthy of Wei Lan."

Shen Zhiwen's excitement was beyond words, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Haha..." Seeing this, the reporter also laughed: "Now netizens joke that you are a 'Lan fan', are you?"

"Ah? What does it mean?" Shen Zhiwen didn't understand for a while.

The reporter thought for a while and said: "It means that you are the promotion ambassador of Director Wei."

A group of viewers laughed wildly in the barrage:

'Hahaha promotion ambassador! It's hard for reporters to come up with this word'

Shen Zhiwen suddenly realized what the fan meant, and nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, but I am not just a 'Lan fan', as long as they are excellent directors, I will 'fan' them, because they are worth promoting."

When he said the last sentence, the old man's mood became formal.

Watching this scene, the comments in the comments couldn't help but sigh.

'This is the 'teacher' who is really looking forward to the industry changing with each passing day! '

'A well-deserved master of film, only those who truly love film can be like this. '

However, the topic of the two people then turned to "New World".

"Many people say that this is a science fiction fable. That's right. Compared with the galaxy universe of "Rural Teacher", the future predicted in "New World" is more inclined to a social structure under involution, with environmental protection issues. You know, the green plants that we can see everywhere now will only be seen in the rich areas in the future..."

"I think the art style of the wilderness environment in the movie is very fascinating. I saw my grandson's computer desktop changed to this style yesterday..."

Reporter: "Hmm..."

The old man chattered, as if he praised "New World" from all aspects and in all aspects...

Audience comments: It is indeed the biggest "Lan Blow" in the industry!

After becoming famous with "Rural Teachers" and winning the Golden Tripod Award for Best Director, Wei Lan shot two commercial films in a row. Although each of them has made contributions to the industry, they are not popular among professional film critics in terms of the depth of content.

The release of "New World" slapped the faces of those film critics who said that Wei Lan had "fallen" after becoming famous at a young age and became a commercial monster who only knew how to make money by crooked means.

After all, before Wei Lan, no director in the world dared to shoot like this. A big production of 560 million yuan was invested to shoot a brand new world view that had never been seen before. In this world view, the content of the film is still an unconventional "anti-routine" structure film in which the hero is defeated by the villain. If it were not for Wei Lan's studio's independent investment, no producer in the film industry would dare to touch such a script.

But Wei Lan has the confidence to invest independently. An independent film director who can invest 560 million yuan is also the first in the film industry. Other independent film directors can't afford such an investment level.

Compared with the well-received movie reputation, the box office results are equally gratifying. The 560 million yuan investment in "New World" is Wei Lan's largest production so far. Compared with the third film "Star Wars" with an investment of 780 million yuan, the data flow consumption of the two is actually not much different.

Because the investment cost of "Star Wars ()" includes a large amount of star pay and publicity costs, those movie kings and queens will not reduce their prices. For "Star Wars", they jumped from Wei and paid a high penalty for breach of contract. It is impossible for them to reduce their pay, especially since "Star Wars" did not achieve the influence originally envisioned.

On Wei Lan's side, all the actors under the studio's banner performed, and there was no concern in this regard. The publicity on the Internet directly stepped on "Star Wars" to rise to the top, and the cost was only used for ground promotion.

Under such circumstances, the box office record of "New World" in the first week was 420 million, and the box office of "Star Wars" in the first week was 360 million.

Even though "New World" is very depressing after watching, those who have seen it cannot deny that it is a wonderful movie. Wei Lan is no longer an unknown person. With past experience and the word-of-mouth explosion after the premiere, "New World" without the support of the previous work has steadily surpassed "Star Wars" at the box office!

If it was at other times, forget it, but don't forget that "Star Wars" and "New World", Wei and Chengguang, Chen Yuanhang and Wei Lan... This wave of competition is a grudge game!

Netizens who opened the market before expressed disappointment with the performance of "Star Wars". No one likes losers, and Chengguang's previous actions did not attract the favor of passers-by.

Marketing accounts chase heat and always flatter the high and trample the low. Seeing this, they began to throw stones at Chengguang. The inside story of Ye Jingran's case, which no one had mentioned before, was also disclosed, mocking Chengguang for using off-site means to delay the progress of "New World". In the end, Wei Lan took good care of it, and it was a precise sniper.

Ye Jingran's performance in this movie is impeccable. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a hot candidate for the Best Actor award next year.

As for the turmoil on the Internet, the top management of Chengguang has no time to deal with it.

Because for them, the most urgent task is to stabilize the falling stock price...
