Chapter 872 Let some people break the defense

Controversy is never a bad thing.

"Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" Li Yi never thought it was a perfect movie.

"The more real battles happened in history, the more likely there will be places that are different from the historical reality. After all, movies are not documentaries. Even if they are documentaries, there will be deviations in cognition!"

These are Li Yi's original words.

In fact, war movies have always been the easiest to criticize, especially movies about wars that were filmed decades ago, because many things in that era, even if they were said by the witnesses themselves, were only the witnesses themselves The truth based on cognition.

What's more, what many people know today, the knowledge they know, is based on the existing foundation, but in that era, the background was different from today, and the technology is very different, so you think and I think it will never be possible. Exactly the same point.

For example, chewing gum. Many volunteer soldiers in those days had never seen that thing at all, but in the eyes of some audience who didn't know why, they felt very strange. Why didn't they even recognize chewing gum?
Another example is Wu Wanli's throwing skills. Many people feel that it feels too accurate, a bit like an anti-war drama.

But in fact, in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, there were indeed combat heroes who used the unique skill of exploding a grenade in the air to wipe out hundreds of enemy troops by one person. It sounds outrageous, but it actually happened.

Li Yi was lying on Mu Qing's lap who had become his wife, listening to Director Mu reading film reviews to him.

It is mixed with a lot of criticisms and comparisons, such as comparing "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" with other movies and TV series, and then draw a conclusion, how bad "Shuimen Bridge" is, saying that this movie is Harvesting the box office in the name of patriotism and so on.

Li Yi was not angry at all, but smiled instead.

"Why aren't you angry at all?" Mu Qing asked suspiciously, because some critics made this film worthless.

"There's nothing to be angry about, it's just expected." Li Yi said without opening his eyes.

"An expected thing?" Mu Qing was a little puzzled.

"It's actually quite normal. Although our country is different from the past, the cultural hegemony and influence of Laomei will not be eliminated in a short period of time. After all, it took decades for people to do this. There is a huge public knowledge group that has been lurking for decades, so this is very normal!"

"As long as it is a main theme movie, especially a blockbuster main theme movie, this situation is very common." Li Yi said calmly.

"But there weren't so many critics in "The Garland Under the Mountain" and "The Meridian of War" back then." Mu Qing said with some confusion.

"There are several factors. The story structure of "The Garland Under the Mountain" itself is indeed better than that of the "Changjin Lake" series. The second is the difference in the subject matter of the two films, although they are based on historical facts. The battle is adapted, but there are still big differences. Let me ask you, who is the one fighting in "The Garland Under the Mountain"? And who is the one fighting in "Changjin Lake"?" Li Yi opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

Mu Qing immediately understood.

Li Yi continued: "Actually, many times, you will find that the most common method used in these critical reviews is to deliberately use logic traps to pull certain movies to compare the two movies. Some threatened that as long as our domestic If the protection of the movie is not canceled, they will not watch it. Some people like to compare it with a certain TV series, and then say that Changjin Lake and Shuimen Bridge are movies, or if it is based on academic or non-academic schools , the filming failed at all, there were a lot of logical loopholes, and then he kept talking non-stop."

Mu Qing turned her head to think about it, and couldn't help being a little stunned, because it was really like this.

"But you will find that the movies or TV series they compare never compare with those Hollywood war movies or TV series, because they really want to be more realistic, according to their treatment of "Changjin Lake" or "Shuimen Bridge" To a certain extent, Hollywood movies are also full of various bugs, so they will compare more domestic movies that are not so popular, or that are not so commercially successful." Li Yi said again.

"Why is this? Why is it not such a successful work?" Mu Qing asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, because not many people know about those movies or TV series that are not so well-known and popular. When they compare them, they deliberately treat them with double standards, ignore the shortcomings of those works, and compare the best of those works. The flashing points are enlarged, and then compared with the shortcomings of the "Changjin Lake" series, because not many people know about those works, so they subconsciously feel that what they say makes sense, but in reality? How many people will really go to see those relatively unpopular or commercially unsuccessful works?"

"If you take a look, you will find that, in addition to the ratings of Dazhong Film Critic.com, the ratings of the movie on those ticket-buying platforms are actually very high. Of course, I am not saying that the ratings of the ticket-buying platforms must be more accurate. It’s just a different standpoint.”

"In fact, the public opinion environment that Changjin Lake and Shuimen Bridge and the two films have to face is more complicated than this, because we all know that the movies "Changjin Lake" and "Shuimen Bridge" are about Lao Mei. Naturally, many people will break their defenses emotionally and cannot accept it at all."

"It is mainly the output of many cultures and concepts. Movies are a very critical carrier, and the output of cultural hegemony is mainly achieved through movies and games. Many people have grown up in this environment, so they like to take rhythm and work hard. Saying this is unreasonable, that’s not okay, there’s nothing worth seeing!”

"To put it more simply, among the countries in the world that can make decent movies, it can be said that almost no one dares to shoot Lao Mei as a villain. Of course, this refers to commercial movies, except of course themselves. In the movie, a certain person or business organization is the big villain boss, but one must never dare to and absolutely must not reverse this country, in fact, this is their cultural hegemony over the world.”

Li Yizhen is not talking nonsense, but the fact is so.

As long as it is a relatively well-known movie and a commercially successful movie, everyone will know it after watching it.

Therefore, whether it is "Changjin Lake" or "Shuimen Bridge", no matter how good your shots are, those who should be criticized will still be criticized, and those who should be rhythmic will still be rhythmic.

This is why, for these two films, the box office of the previous "Changjin Lake" is strong enough, right?
But the score is not high, because once this kind of movie has a high score, there will inevitably be comments such as "selling patriotism" and "excessive praise".

Because some people just can't see that this kind of movie is a big hit, or the influence is beyond their imagination!
