Chapter 1651 All Are Good Works

After Lu Xiaoping's explanation, the bosses, including Nie Yunsheng, understood the current situation.

In short, these two movies have their own focuses.

From the perspective of imagination and cultural relevance, *My Property* is undoubtedly the better one.

Because this movie uses unconstrained imagination to show a very extreme situation. This extreme situation is very novel and resonates with domestic audiences.

It also has some impact on foreign audiences, but the satirical effect may not be as strong, after all, there are certain cultural differences.

From the perspective of the filming techniques and details of the movie itself, *The Future You Choose* takes the lead.

Because *The Future You Choose* has a large number of detailed plots and rich world-view settings. The protagonist develops from an ordinary tramp into a gang leader step by step, and then takes over as a rich man through specific means. This image is easier for the audience to empathize with.

Moreover, in these complex plots, Director Zhu Xiaoce used many more pleasing shooting techniques and some metaphors. Therefore, it will be more favored by the judges in terms of the film's artistry.

If the two films are really taken to film festivals for awards, then *The Future You Choose* will most likely win in the end.

But the key is that what the two sides are competing for is not winning awards at foreign film festivals.

In fact, in recent years, the domestic film circle has increasingly shown a trend: more and more domestic directors have begun to turn their attention to the domestic market, and their primary goal is to satisfy the viewing experience of domestic audiences.

And the ideological core expressed is also increasingly in line with the tastes of domestic audiences.

A film that doesn't win an award abroad doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad film, and vice versa.

Therefore, after these two films are released in China, we still have to wait and see how their reputations will be.

Lu Xiaoping was completely unsure about this.

The value of a literary work can only be determined after it has been widely tested.

And these two films have another important mission, which is the extension of the commercial war and public opinion war between Tengda Group and the Anti-Tengda Alliance.

In Lu Xiaoping's view, *My Property* has basically achieved its goal of alluding to Tengda Group, but *The Future You Choose* may have been made with a strong emphasis on artistry in order to participate in film festivals, but in doing so, it sacrificed a lot of its aggressiveness.

This film basically poses no major threat to the companies of the Anti-Tengda Alliance.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that the Anti-Tengda Alliance has taken the lead.

Although Tengda Group completed the front and rear encirclement of the Anti-Tengda Alliance through games and movies, if the film from the Anti-Tengda Alliance can have a miraculous effect, it can still break the situation instantly.

However, the final outcome still needs to be tested by public opinion.

Nie Yunsheng nodded slightly and said, "President Lu has indeed made proper arrangements. We can say that we have done our best and left the rest to fate in terms of the content of the film."

"But I have another question."

"That is, will there be any unexpected connections between the game and the movie?"

"The game *The Future You Choose* has already shown its potential, and Qiao Laoshi's interpretation seems to be very damaging to us. In this case, if there is really some deeper connection between the game and the movie, and we are attacked from both sides, the situation will be very pessimistic."

Lu Xiaoping thought for a while and said, "So far, I haven't seen any particularly close connection."

"The game and the movie are completely different plots, or even completely different stories. Apart from the fact that Tengda Group is the villain in both works, there doesn't seem to be any deeper connection."

"Of course, to be on the safe side, we still have to take some measures."

"In the subsequent public opinion war, we will mainly focus on the movie and try not to mention anything related to the game."

"We will focus on the movie and attack it relentlessly. By then, most of the attention will be attracted to the movie. After all, there are relatively fewer players on the game side."

The bosses all agreed with this strategy. After all, the Anti-Tengda Alliance does not have any game works, and even if it does, it is estimated to be at a disadvantage. At this time, they have to play a game of Tian Ji's horse racing, trying to shift the battlefield to their own advantageous areas.

Zheng Hao said with some concern: "Then why did President Pei name the movie and the game with the same name? If there is no deep connection between these two works, then I don't think it is in line with President Pei's consistent style."

After considering it, Lu Xiaoping said, "Tengda is monolithic, and it is difficult for us to obtain first-hand information from internal employees about President Pei's decision-making at the time, so we can only make some guesses."

"I think this may be a relatively safe consideration."

"If the game and movie plots are highly related like *Mission and Choice*, then it will be a case of all glory or all loss. If one project fails, the other project will also be dragged down."

"For the previous Tengda Group, it was not a problem to concentrate its efforts to do big things, but now that Tengda Group has taken the lead, the goal should be to win as steadily as possible."

"I guess President Pei probably asked the heads of the game and movie departments to conceive separately, each come up with an idea and produce it, and the two would not affect each other."

"In this way, the possibility of both projects failing is minimal."

"Even if one project has poor results, the other project can make up for it, and Tengda will always have an advantage in its hands."

"However, such conservative decision-making is a bit of a loss when both projects are successful, and it is difficult to form a deep linkage."

"At least so far, we can say that Tengda has played the villain in both the game and the movie, and the story content of the game and the movie itself is also close, but after all, there is no deep connection between the two."

"Concentrating our efforts to fight the movie side to gain a comparative advantage is at least the optimal solution from the current point of view."

The bosses nodded one after another, feeling that what Lu Xiaoping said made a lot of sense.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's wait for the good news."

...

...

The next day, in the afternoon.

Pei Qian also finished watching *The Future You Choose*.

His first feeling was regret, very regretful.

How did he discover such a treasure boy like Lu Zhiyao in the first place?

After filming these movies, Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved visibly to the naked eye.

This time, he even played two roles alone, and he also played the different stages of the roles very well. It is indeed not wrong to win an award.

For Pei Qian, the current Lu Zhiyao has basically evolved into a lifelong enemy like Ruan Guangjian and Qiao Liang.

However, Pei Qian felt that the two films, *The Future You Choose* and *My Property*, could only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the two expressed similar themes, they had great differences in form.

If Fan Qi Media can put in some effort and create some public opinion, it is not impossible for the Anti-Tengda Alliance to turn the tables against the wind.

"I still feel it's not safe enough."

"I really want to give Fan Qi Media a little help, but..."

"I can't find water armies anymore!"

Until now, Pei Qian was still a little worried, fearing that one day his actions of finding a water army would be exposed.

The fact that he wasn't discovered the first time was already the luckiest of misfortunes. If he still went against the wind and found a water army in this situation, then he would really be courting death and could not blame others.

But after his only good brother was caught, Pei Qian felt very melancholy and confused.

He can't do anything at this critical moment.

Pei Qian sighed silently, he could only wait and see what happens.

Now that both films have been released, and the evaluations of the first batch of audiences have also come out, Pei Qian felt that it was almost time to look at the overall public opinion.

He decided to watch *The Future You Choose* first.

"Lu Zhiyao's acting skills have improved a lot again. The best actor really deserves it."

"As expected of an award-winning work, all aspects of the overall performance are without shortcomings, and this film also reminds me of the feeling I had when I watched *A Better Tomorrow*. I have to say that it seems that only Tengda can perfectly capture this feeling when making movies in China."

"The film's techniques and editing are very good, and in the end, there is a sense of powerlessness. A poor person is born into a poor family and tries everything to change his fate against the sky, but in the end, he ends up with a death without a burial place."

"Tengda Group is also a big villain in this movie, even more so than in the game."

"Yes, the game also used a way of borrowing a corpse to return the soul. But in the movie, it is directly a powerful and invincible state."

"The overall special effects level is also excellent, especially the two long shots at the beginning and the end were amazing to me. Crossing the clouds, the two worlds are like heaven and hell, and through the cyberpunk background of the city, the feeling of this wealth gap is perfectly presented."

"It is definitely a rare good movie, ready to support it with a second viewing."

Pei Qian felt a little guilty, but after all, *The Future You Choose* has already won an award, and it seems to be expected to receive such an evaluation.

He then clicked on *My Property* to check.

So far, the ratings of the two films have been hovering around 9.5 points, not giving way to each other.

Seeing the netizens' comments on *My Property*, Pei Qian's eyes lit up. He saw hope again.

"As an original book fan, I feel so addicted. It really captured all the essence of the original book. Sure enough, this kind of solid movie is the most exciting."

"Without too much interference from traffic, each character in it has online acting skills, especially the poor and the rich are played too well."

"The last scene of the confrontation was really suffocating. The poor tried everything to question, but the rich refuted everything with a condescending and taken-for-granted attitude. At that time, I couldn't help but want to smash the computer screen."

"In fact, all the emotional release is in the last scene, but there are many commendable places in the process of the film. For example, the changes in the protagonist's life, the aging and death of unemployed parents, and the continuous changes in the living environment. These scenes are all presented by the director with very detailed content. The protagonist's sentence 'Thank you, Mom and Dad.' really broke my defense completely."

"I think this film is completely not inferior to *The Future You Choose* in all aspects."

"I even prefer *My Property* more. I can't say exactly what's good, but I think this movie is more concise, more crude and direct, and directly spreads the cruel reality in front of everyone, and the shock to people is naturally stronger."

"The connotations of the two films are very profound. Let's obediently wait for the film reviews. It's only after the film reviews come out that we can say which film is better."

"I blamed Fan Qi Media before. I originally thought that they invested in this film to promote the Anti-Tengda Alliance and to smear Tengda Group, but after watching it, I think this film is well made. I hope more companies will invest money to make this kind of really good movie."

From the current point of view, the performances of the two films are actually advancing side by side, evenly matched.

Even if there are some differences, they can only be differences in choice and taste.

A film has a limited length, and it is impossible to be comprehensive and make all the content perfect.

These two films respectively chose different angles and different techniques to show similar themes, and they were completed very well.

The final success or failure may only depend on some very small details.

Many people are waiting for the voices of the film critics.

Because in the process of film critics' in-depth interpretation of these two films, some deep-seated connotations will be analyzed, and the two films will truly be distinguished!
