Chapter 1652 The Dagger Revealed

September 23rd, Monday.

Feihuang Studio.

Huang Sibao and Zhu Xiaoce were browsing online reviews of the movies "My Property" and "The Future You Choose."

For them, the work was essentially done after filming "The Future You Choose."

Winning the Golden Lion Award and the current box office success proved that they had exceeded the goals set by President Pei.

But even so, the two remained diligent.

While the entire studio had entered a semi-vacation celebration mode, Huang Sibao and Zhu Xiaoce kept a close eye on online reviews and public opinion.

Because they knew very well that the battle was far from over.

Although the film had achieved both critical and commercial success, it was still the final stage of the most important battle for public opinion.

The Anti-Tengda Alliance had not yet lost. "My Property" was still a fulcrum for their counterattack. Naturally, Tengda Group could not relax in the battle for public opinion either.

While refreshing the webpage, Zhu Xiaoce said, "Currently, we can't determine exactly how many film critics Fanqui Media has hired, but two things are certain."

"First, they've adopted a very clever and tricky strategy this time."

"Instead of forcibly discrediting us like before, they've prepared two options."

"The first is to attack 'The Future You Choose' for being more superficial in its expression compared to 'My Property,' not touching on the core and essence, and being slightly inferior in depth."

"If this point doesn't hold, then they'll praise both movies together, but focus on expressing the allusions to Tengda Group in 'My Property.'"

"Second, they should have hired a lot of film critics and used a 'gu-raising' (a process of pitting poisonous insects against each other until only one survives) model to cultivate the strongest one. It's basically surfaced now, and it's this one."

Huang Sibao looked at Zhu Xiaoce's computer screen and saw a highly popular film review titled "Double Stars Shine! Chinese Science Fiction Films Usher in a Bright Moment."

The review was very long because it analyzed both films in detail.

In terms of content, the review did not obviously favor one over the other. The analysis of both films was insightful and explained the techniques used in the films.

This was obviously a choice naturally formed by netizens.

In order to create greater public opinion, Fanqui Media obviously found many film critics to write film reviews, while giving them general directions to freely exert themselves, because they didn't want their own thinking to cause too much interference.

Some of these film critics were more obviously biased, but these were basically seen through at a glance and could not generate effective popularity.

This review praised both, but with some emphasis, and was the most effective of all the reviews.

Moreover, this review really praised the right points, whether it was analyzing the deep meaning of the two films, or analyzing some of the specific techniques in the filming process, or analyzing the superb acting skills of the actors in the films, it appropriately said the right points.

But the "essence" of this kind of film review lies in nine truths and one falsehood.

That is, after enhancing the credibility of the manuscript through a large amount of true content, it makes misleading statements in a very subtle aspect.

Most people can't even see what's wrong, and the impact of this kind of manuscript is the greatest.

And the main focus of this review is in the following paragraphs.

"Relatively speaking, I think the two films each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the focus of expression is different."

"'The Future You Choose' focuses on a small person, and implies a closed and desperate state of the entire society through his life changes. It can be said to be seeing the big through the small."

"In the process of fully expressing the life of this small person, the audience can be well brought into a specific person, and naturally they will be more empathetic to this emotion. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why this film can win the Best Actor and Golden Lion Awards at the Venice Film Festival, because the audience can deeply empathize with the character played by Lu Zhiyao and resonate."

"And 'My Property' does not make the audience feel too much empathy, but always expresses the entire society from a calm bystander's perspective. Although it also spends a lot of space to express the life of this poor protagonist, this emotion is rational and cold. It hardly contains subjective emotions."

"The changes in the life of the poor protagonist are actually just a microcosm of the changes in the entire society. On the surface, it is describing the changes in one person's life, but in fact it is describing the changes in the entire society."

"So from this point of view. The future you choose is easier to empathize with, while my property is standing from a more objective perspective and is easier to make people think deeply."

"'The Future You Choose' is easier to win awards at international film festivals, because this kind of emotion after being brought in is also common for foreigners, but 'My Property' this way of thinking is more in line with the thinking of domestic audiences. From my personal point of view, I still prefer my property this way of expression."

"After all, since it has been decided to shoot this subject matter, the depth of the ideological connotation must be placed first."

"'The Future You Choose' added some techniques in order to win awards, which made the focus somewhat biased. In my opinion, this is a small flaw that is not a problem, it can be regarded as nitpicking."

"Of course, both films are actually very good, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. I don't think it is necessary to step on one and praise the other, but should focus on the profound meaning expressed by these two films."

"What these two films express is actually the same meaning, that is, when a monopoly enterprise controls all aspects of our lives, it will inevitably stand on the opposite side of ordinary people and consumers."

"Even in some special circumstances, some companies achieve a monopoly position through legal means, which is also a phenomenon that we should be vigilant about. Therefore, all countries have anti-monopoly laws. When the law does not match the real situation, we should consider making certain adjustments to the law so that the power of capital does not become too inflated."

"In the movie 'My Property', there is a very thought-provoking fragment. The rich man started from scratch and gradually reached the current scale. Every step he took was completely legal. As a result, the poor protagonist was speechless. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say exactly what was wrong."

"If we were to carefully dismantle the life of this rich man, then the first half of him is a glorious and righteous fighter: starting from scratch, constantly defeating competitors through his own intelligence, and of course, in the process of commercial innovation, he will inevitably provide a strong impetus for social development."

"But in the process of development, as he continues to reach out to different fields and achieve a monopoly, he eventually becomes such a big villain. Everything he does seems to be no problem from his own perspective, but in the end it brings disaster to the whole world."

"And in reality, we should also be in awe of this and be vigilant, and always keep capital in a cage."

"Of course, this is not aimed at any company or individual, just like the 'The Future You Choose' game wants to express, the big villain inside is not a company, but the kind of invisible will that can parasitize on any company."

After reading this film review, Huang Sibao couldn't help but nod slightly.

Not agreeing with the statement in this film review, but agreeing with the analysis made by Zhu Xiaoce before.

The impact of this film review cannot be underestimated, because it is indeed rich in content and details, and it analyzes the two films very well. But this last passage looks objectively fair on the surface, but it actually has a special hint and guidance.

First of all, it expresses that "The Future You Choose" pays more attention to details and empathy, while "My Property" pays more attention to connotation and ideology. Guiding the audience to make a judgment: "My Property" has a deeper connotation, and is naturally superior.

At this point, some viewers have already established this idea, but some viewers will disagree and even have resistance.

So the author immediately smoothed things over, saying that both films are very good and there is no distinction between them. And quickly shifted his attention to other directions.

The connotation of both films is attacking monopoly enterprises, and the film review focuses on the rich character in "My Property", intentionally or unintentionally directing the object of attack towards Tengda Group.

The boss started from scratch and constantly defeated competitors through his own intelligence. In this process, he provided a strong impetus for social development, but he continued to develop into different fields and achieve a monopoly. If you have to match the number, this person can only be President Pei.

Although the film review says at the end that it is not aimed at any company or individual. But it is aimed at the invisible will parasitized on the company. But in fact, the spearhead is directed at Tengda Group.

Because everyone can see that in the war between Tengda Group and the Anti-Tengda Alliance, Tengda Group has actually won a great victory, and will continue to achieve this kind of strong or even monopoly position in many fields in the future.

At this time, many people's fear of monopoly enterprises is actually growing secretly.

Even if many people have a good impression of Tengda Group, this kind of uncertain imagination about the future still makes people feel vigilant.

Just like "My Property" describes, all the actions of the rich protagonist are completely legal and earned through his own intelligence. Maybe even at the beginning of his business, he had a righteous act of fighting against monopoly enterprises and won the support of ordinary people.

But once a monopoly is really formed between most industries, and even various industries can closely cooperate and connect with each other, will enterprises that control such a huge power gradually undergo some changes for the sake of their own interests?

It is not strange to change, this is human nature, it is strange not to change.

Therefore, through the interpretation of the two films, the spearhead is intentionally or unintentionally directed at Tengda Group in the end, which undoubtedly perfectly achieves the effect that the Anti-Tengda Alliance initially wanted.

The dagger is revealed!
