There are such a group of film critics in China, who call themselves "experts", point fingers and criticize all films that do not conform to their personal aesthetics, and they seem to live in a terrible world - a world full of resentment and resentment , they are never happy. The suspected comedy "House of Flying Daggers" made them angry, and the suspected comedy "Wuji" made them angry. We can understand all of these, but we can't understand some of their remarks. For example, Feng Xiaogang's "Wu Ji" "Mobile Phone" is "low-key and low-quality", such as the recent siege-style criticism of "Crazy Stone".
What kind of movies does China need? I think "Crazy Stone" has set up an excellent sample for us: with a small investment of 3 million yuan, it has accumulated 14 million yuan in box office revenue within 20 days of its release, and has a good reputation among the audience... But film critics don't think so, because they are "experts", experts will have expert opinions, "too commercial", "lack of thought-provoking ideological connotations", "farce not comedy"... all kinds of The outlandish excuses are dizzying.
An expert named Huang Shixian has an even more ingenious opinion: "Young directors should make art films first, and then commercial films." This means that director Ning Hao's move is tantamount to doing the opposite. This theory is very novel, and I am afraid it is unique in the world. Of course, this expert Huang has an even more eye-opening argument: "The female images in the film are all in a weak position, and they don't bring much bright spots to the film." According to this theory, Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" ", To Qifeng's "Gun Fire", and even "Two Smoking Guns" imitated by Ning Hao can all be classified as bad films, and the reason is simply that "the female images in the film are weak"!
Or what Feng Xiaogang said: "It has always been the people who created the art, not the experts who created the art." If the experts really have too much anger and can't vent, I suggest that they change their careers to become Chinese football critics - you From now on, I will live in anger forever, wanting to die, unable to extricate myself.
