Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 66: Red and Black

Compared with those journalists who prefer to hype, professional film critics have a much more serious attitude towards the movie "Fatal Turn".

"When I watched it for the first time, I thought it was a qualified plasma film. The director's rendering of the horror atmosphere and the film's rhythm are very good, and the performances of the actors are also in place. If you don't watch it after the second If it is repeated, I should give a fairly good evaluation."

Film critic Kenneth Turan has always focused on commercial films. He seemed to pay special attention to the film "Fatal Turn" because of Allen's case before, so he made a comment immediately after it was released,

"And after seeing it a second time, I have to say it was a real surprise. I agree with Dr. Cooper that it should have been a miracle made by accident, maybe just an accidental discovery by Mr. Photographer, maybe a movie With a wave of the God of God, we should hurry up and watch this movie while the miracle is still there..."

"The evaluation given by Kenneth Turan is really high!"

Charlize sat at the table, reading the film reviews in the newspaper, and sighing.

"His asking price is not low."

Charlotte shook her head disapprovingly,

"According to Westwood, he not only paid a check for it, but also took a few bottles of good wine that he didn't drink."

"Is it a good review bought with money?"

Charlize was a little taken aback.

It's not that the girl doesn't understand the darkness behind Hollywood, but before, she looked at the problem more from the perspective of an actor. She has never encountered such a high-level behind-the-scenes transaction.

"Buying good reviews is not worth it."

Charlotte is very open-minded about this, neither cynical nor too important. He explained,

"For these film critics, it's just a matter of going with the flow. If the film is released and the response is not good, they will criticize and criticize as much as they want, and they will not take the money at all."

"What if the response is good?"

"Then they'll drop in a few nice words and earn a nice tip."

"Then they don't only take benefits, but don't take risks?"

Charlize was a little aggrieved, but Charlotte didn't care much,

"That's the beauty of having a voice. If you get the chance, you probably will. If you have that time to be surprised and outraged, you might as well read other movie reviews quickly. Like this—"

As he spoke, he handed a newspaper to Charlize's eyes, and the girl unconsciously showed a reassuring smile when she saw it.

"Charlize Theron's performance in "Fatal Turns" is remarkable, although for a horror movie, it seems that the heroine only needs to be beautiful and scream, but I have to say, Miss Theron Her performance still exceeded expectations. Especially after watching the miraculous second time, you will find that every micro-expression of hers can secretly coincide with this hidden plot..."

"This Richard Manson has always liked to comment on the performance of actors. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with your performance."

"Yeah?"

Charlize was not happy about it,

"You should know that part of the performance there is actually..."

"Alexis?"

Charlize nodded.

"Doesn't this just give you the direction to work hard?"

Charlotte comforted Charlize, and read another film review——

"Charlotte Booth is reckless. Charlize Theron is as beautiful and sexy as a Venus born from the foam of the sea waves, but under his lens, this Venus can only run in disgrace. Come and run..."

"This is Bonnie Clyde, a film critic who uses the pseudonym of the male and female thieves, she is an experienced face controller, she cares more about whether the faces of the actors in the movie are beautiful enough than the quality of the movie.

"

Having said that, Charlotte raised her hands and made a gesture of quotation marks next to her ear,

"It seemed to her that you were 'tainted' by me."

"..."

Charlize's reaction was to kick directly, but Charlotte blocked it, and grabbed the slender jade legs that were exposed outside.

"Roger Ebert, AKA Thumb Guy, hasn't that guy commented on Wrong Turn?"

Letting her legs be held and fondled by Charlotte, Charlize blushed slightly, but she was concerned about another issue.

Roger Ebert, because he likes to use the description of raising one or two thumbs up to evaluate the quality of the movie, so Charlize dubbed him the thumb man.

The film critic who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1975 has the influence of Taishan Beidou among the American film critics. Even though Charlize doesn't read movie reviews often, she knows his name. If he gives a bad review, it will definitely be a big blow to the box office behind "Fatal Turning".

"He hasn't commented yet, the old man has always been slow."

Naturally, Charlotte also knew the name of Roger Albert, but unlike Charlize, he was not particularly worried about this issue.

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much about the evaluations of these film critics-for those complicated literary films, or dazzling action films, audiences may need the help of film critics to distinguish which are bad films and which are worthwhile. Take a look. But for horror films, which have a very fixed audience, the influence of film critics is actually limited.”

"For audiences who like horror films, they often don't need the opinions of film critics as a guide. In fact, most film critics don't appreciate horror films very much. After Hitchcock, they rarely High marks for horror-thriller films, even Kubrick's The Shining."

"In other words, film critics don't like horror movies very much, and audiences who like horror themes don't care much about film critics' comments?"

Charlize's claim to Charlotte was somewhat disbelieving.

But Charlotte, who has experienced the future Internet era, knows that after ten years, the authoritative system of film critics will gradually collapse, and even the lower the score given by the film critics, the better the box office. And now, in horror, a genre loathed by film critics, it seems to be beginning to emerge.

"Now, the word-of-mouth of "Fatal Turns" among the audience has actually been established, and with the help of the series of cases in Vians Valley, the box office of this film will not be too bad. What we really need later Those who are worried are actually our opponents."

"opponent!?"

"Yes, several powerful opponents!"
