September 23rd, Monday …
Fei Huang Workspace …
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were flipping through the reviews of 'My Fortune' and 'The Future You Choose' online.
For them, after filming The Future You Have Chosen, their job was already done.
To be able to win the Golden Lion and have a good box office trend, it proved that they had exceeded the target set by Boss Pei.
Even so, the two of them did not let their guard down.
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were still staring at the film reviews and public opinion online when the entire workspace had entered a state of celebration.
That was because they knew very well that the battle was far from over.
The movie might have achieved both reputation and commercial success, but it was still the most important end of the public opinion battle.
The Anti-Tengda Alliance had not lost yet. 'My Fortune' was still a fulcrum for the other party's counterattack. Similarly, Tengda Corporation naturally could not relax in the battle of public opinion.
Zhu Xiaoce said as he browsed the web, "I can't be sure how many film critics Vinci Media has hired at the moment, but I can be sure of two things.
"First, they have adopted a very smart strategy this time. It's very tricky.
"They are not forcefully criticizing it like before, but they are prepared.
"First, they are attacking 'The Future You Choose'. Compared to 'My Fortune', the content expressed is more superficial. It does not touch on the core and essence, and is slightly inferior in terms of depth.
"If this point is not established, then praise both movies together, but focus on expressing the insinuation of Tengda Corporation in 'My Fortune'.
"Second, they should have found many film critics to nurture the strongest one through the method of breeding Gu. Basically, it has surfaced. This is it."
Huang Sibo looked at Zhu Xiaoce's computer screen and realized that it was a very popular film review. The title was' Twin Stars Shine! The domestically-produced sci-fi movie, ushering in a bright moment '.
The content of this film review was very long because he had analyzed both movies in detail.
From the content, this film review did not obviously belittle one or flatter the other. The analysis of both movies was incisive and described the skills in the movie.
Obviously, this was a natural choice formed by netizens.
In order to create more public opinion, Vinci Media had obviously hired a lot of film critics to do their reviews. At the same time, they had given them a general direction to express their opinions freely. This was because they did not want to cause too much disruption to their own thinking.
Among them, there were some film critics who were more obvious in stepping on one and supporting the other, but this kind of thing was basically seen through at a glance, and was unable to form any effective popularity.
This review praised both of them, but with emphasis on some. It was the most effective of all the reviews.
Moreover, the film review was indeed on point. Whether it was an analysis of the deeper meaning of the two movies, an analysis of some of the specific techniques used in the filming process, or an analysis of the superb acting skills of the actors in the movie, they were all on point.
But the "essence" of this kind of film review was nine truths and one falsehood.
In other words, after using a large amount of real content to enhance the credibility of the manuscript, a very subtle and misleading statement was made in an extremely subtle aspect.
Most people wouldn't even be able to tell that there was anything wrong with it. This kind of manuscript had the greatest impact.
The main focus of this film review was in the following paragraphs.
"In comparison, I think that both movies have their advantages and disadvantages. It's just that the focus of the expression is different.
"'The Future You Choose' focuses its perspective on an insignificant person. Through the changes in his life, it implies that the entire society is in a closed and hopeless state. It can be said to be looking at the big picture from the small.
"In the process of fully expressing the life of this insignificant person, the audience can be brought into a specific person's life very well. Naturally, they will feel more empathy for this kind of emotion. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why this movie could win two awards at the Venice Film Festival for Best Actor and the Golden Lion. It is because the audience can deeply immerse themselves in the character played by Lu Zhiyao and resonate with him.
"On the other hand, 'My Property' does not let the audience have too much immersion. Instead, it has always shown the entire society from the perspective of a calm bystander. Although a lot of space has been spent to show the life of the poor protagonist, this kind of emotion is rational, cold, and almost not mixed with subjective emotions.
"The changes in the poor protagonist's life are actually a microcosm of the changes in the entire society. On the surface, it is describing the changes in a person's life, but in fact, it is describing the changes in the entire society.
"Therefore, from this point of view, the future you choose is easier to empathize with. The future you chose is easier to empathize with, while my property is more objective and more thought-provoking. "
"'The Future You Choose' is more likely to win awards at international film festivals because this kind of emotion is common to foreigners. However, the way of thinking of 'My Property' is more in line with the thinking of domestic audiences. From a personal point of view, I prefer the expression of 'My Property'.
"After all, since we have decided to film this theme, the depth of the meaning of the thought must be the first priority.
"In order to win the award, 'The Future You Choose' added some tricks to make the focus biased. In my opinion, this is a small flaw that is not a problem. It is like picking bones in an egg.
"Of course, both movies are actually very good. It is difficult to distinguish which is better. I think there is no need to step on one and praise the other. Instead, we should focus on the deep meaning that these two movies want to express.
"These two movies actually express the same meaning, which is that when a monopoly company controls all aspects of our lives, it will inevitably stand on the opposite side of ordinary people and consumers."
"In fact, under some special circumstances, some companies will use legal means to achieve a monopoly position, which is also a phenomenon that we should be wary of. Therefore, every country has anti-monopoly laws. When the law does not match the reality, we have to consider making certain adjustments to the law so that the power of capital does not expand too much.
"In the movie 'My Fortune', there is a very thought-provoking scene. The rich man started from scratch and built up to his current scale step by step. Every step he took was completely legal, so the poor protagonist was speechless. As a result, the poor protagonist was left speechless. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. "
"If we were to seriously dismantle the rich man's life, the first half of the film would be the image of a glorious and righteous fighter. He started from scratch and continuously defeated his competitors through his own intelligence. Of course, in the process of business innovation, he would definitely provide a strong driving force for the development of society.
"However, in the process of development, as he continuously extended his hands into different fields and achieved a monopoly, he eventually became such a big villain. Everything he did seemed to be fine from his own point of view, but in the end, it brought disaster to the entire world.
"And in reality, we should also be respectful and vigilant of this snack, and always keep it in a cage."
"Of course, this point is not targeted at any company or individual. Just like what 'Future You Choose' is trying to express, the big villain is not a certain company, but an invisible will that can parasitize any company."
After reading the film review, Huang Sibo could not help but nod slightly.
It was not because he agreed with the film review, but because he agreed with Zhu Xiaoce's previous analysis.
The film review's influence could be said to be far-reaching because it was indeed rich in content and detailed analysis of the two movies. However, although the final paragraph seemed objective and fair on the surface, it actually had a special hint and inducement.
Firstly, it was to express that 'Future You Choose' was more focused on details and immersion, while 'My Property' was more focused on content and thoughts. It was to induce the audience to make a judgment: 'My Property' had a deeper meaning and was naturally superior.
At this point, a portion of the audience had already established this idea, but a portion of the audience would not agree or even resist.
Thus, the author immediately smoothed things over, saying that both movies were very good and there was no difference between them. Then, he quickly shifted his gaze in other directions.
The content of both movies was to attack monopoly companies, and the film review focused on the rich characters in 'My Property', intentionally or unintentionally leading the target of the attack to Tengda Corporation.
The boss started from scratch and used his own intelligence to continuously defeat his competitors. In the process, he provided a strong impetus for social development, but he continued to develop in different fields and achieve a monopoly. If one had to take a position, this person could only be Boss Pei.
The end of the film review said that it was not targeting any company or individual. Instead, it was targeting the invisible will that parasitized the company. However, the spearhead was actually directed at Tengda Corporation.
That was because everyone could tell that Tengda Corporation had actually won the war between Tengda Corporation and the Anti-Tengda Alliance. What's more, it would continue to achieve such a strong and even monopoly position in many fields in the future.
At this time, many people's fear of monopoly companies was actually growing.
Even though many people had a good impression of Tengda Corporation, this kind of uncertain imagination of the future still made people feel wary.
Just like what was described in 'My Property', all the actions of the rich protagonist were completely legal and earned through his own intelligence. In fact, he might have even fought against monopoly companies at the beginning of the business and obtained the support of ordinary people.
However, once a monopoly was formed between most industries, and the various industries could even cooperate closely and connect with each other, would there be some gradual changes for the sake of the company's own interests?
It was not strange for changes to occur. That was human nature. It would be strange if there were no changes.
Thus, through the interpretation of the two movies, the spearhead was intentionally or unintentionally directed to Tengda Corporation. Without a doubt, it perfectly achieved the effect that the Anti-Tengda Alliance wanted in the beginning.
The dagger was revealed!
