I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 164: Film Critic

Night, Beijing

The desk lamp was bright, and Cai Jieming was smoking one cigarette after another.

The TV series has ended, but the shock it brought to his soul is far from over.

As a professional film critic and freelance writer, he never writes TV reviews, but after watching only the sixth episode of this TV series, he feels that he can’t help himself.

There is a desire to talk, to praise loudly, which is almost uncontrollable in my heart.

But, how to write it?

The reason why I was troubled about how to write it was not because I had no idea where to start with this TV series, nor was it because there was nothing to praise about it. On the contrary, it was because there were so many advantages and strengths in this TV series that Cai Jieming couldn’t find the best entry point for”May 13″ for a while.

Its storytelling technique is very old-fashioned, but stories are not afraid of being old, but of not being able to tell them. If the level is up to par, the more old-fashioned the story, the better it will be. Its pictures, photography and editing, although I dare not say that they are at the level of movies, to be honest, considering the shoddy style, inferior imitation and plagiarism that were common in the domestic film industry before, it is not uncommon.

Therefore, to say that it has reached the level of a movie is not necessarily a compliment. To be precise, it should have achieved a level that is good enough to be ranked as mid-range among movies. The performances of the actors in the play are extremely brilliant, not to mention the White Snake. Gao Yuanyuan’s acting skills are simply reborn, and she interprets Bai Suzhen’s gentleness and wisdom to perfection.

Li Qi’s Xu Xian goes without saying. Even Xiaoqing, her sister, her brother-in-law and other actors are particularly worthy of comment. There is a saying in the crosstalk circle that”70% praise and 30% funny”. Bai Suzhen’s play can have this flavor, and at least half of the credit should be attributed to these actors.

There are so many things I want to say and write that I don’t know where to start.

He had no choice but to smoke one cigarette after another

While I was thinking hard, my cell phone suddenly rang.

He frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but still picked up the phone and answered it.

“Hey, Lao Cai, have you seen the new Legend of White Snake?”

“Yeah, I saw it.”

“Write an article. I think this TV series is going to be a big hit. Write an article and we will try to be the first to publish it. Don’t let other newspapers get ahead of us.”

Cai Jieming smoked a cigarette and said,”I don’t know whether it will be a hit or not, but I will definitely write something for it, because they put so much effort into this play.

This is a benchmark for our current domestic film and television industry!

Whether it’s a movie or a TV series, do you really think that you can make a good movie by just signing a check and gathering a bunch of people? If you don’t put in the effort, no matter how much money you invest, you won’t get anything good.

”

The person on the other end of the phone laughed twice, obviously knowing and getting used to this energy of Cai Jieming. After Cai Jieming finished his long speech, the person on the other end said,”That’s good. With you on board, our headline review for tomorrow will be finalized. What time can we get the manuscript?””

Under normal circumstances, Cai Jieming is known for his quick wit and can write a review of several thousand words in no time. Moreover, as long as it comes from his hand, it will definitely be a great success.

But this time, Cai Jieming hesitated for a moment and said,”I dare not make any promises to you yet. There are too many things I want to write. For the time being, I don’t know how to start.”

The person on the other end of the phone said”hmm”, and then suddenly said:”That’s fine, it will count when you finish writing it, no matter what time it is, just call me, and I’ll come and get it as soon as the manuscript is out!”

After a pause, he continued,”By the way, Lao Cai, I think you should turn on your computer and check out those forums. The internet is blowing up with all kinds of praise. I think you should go and see what others are saying. Maybe it will give you some inspiration for your writing ideas?”

Cai Jieming hummed again after hearing this. Although he always looked down on things on the Internet, Cai Jieming knew that although the Internet was full of good and bad, there were actually many experts.

After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a moment, still at a loss, and still didn’t know how to start writing.

Finally, he looked up and saw that the clock was already half past eleven. He thought about it and had to go over and turn on the computer. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The Internet has really exploded

Cai Jieming started watching the Legend of White Snake from yesterday, which was the third episode. It was also at that time that after watching the TV series, he would habitually visit various major forums. Whenever he saw someone’s opinion hit the mark, he could not help but applaud!

But the number of posts yesterday is simply incomparable to the number of posts today!

Of course, what remains unchanged is that there are almost no negative reviews….

Cai Jieming read posts one after another on major forums. When he saw those mindless flatterers who only knew how to flatter but couldn’t say anything bullshit, he would snort coldly. When he saw good articles that were just right or commented on directly from the heart, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh and praise, wishing he could catch that person and have a good chat with him.

There are a lot of posts, and quite a few of them are substantial and thoughtful.

Amidst the piles of gravel, you can occasionally find a few pieces of gold.

However, as he watched, it was already one in the middle of the night. Cai Jieming found that the number of posts in these forums continued to increase. Often, after only 20 to 30 minutes, he refreshed the page and saw a screen full of new posts. He could not help but stop, think about it, and light up another cigarette. Then, while smoking, he stared at the endless stream of posts on the screen and could not help but feel a little emotional.

He is not the kind of film critic who is overly sensitive to the box office. In the past, when he went to see movies and wrote film reviews, he always focused on the movies themselves and almost never made box office predictions.

But now, no matter how sensitive he is to the box office or the ratings of TV series, he has sensed something from the change in the number of posts and the explosive new posts.[]

At this time, thinking about the call from Lao Zhao just now, he couldn’t help but nodded.

The reputation of this TV series has already risen!

It is foreseeable that the next two days, Saturday and Sunday, will be suspended, which will make those who have already watched the TV series miss it very much. Therefore, compared with tomorrow, the Internet will be more lively. When work resumes on Monday, when the audience who have been waiting for two days go to their work and social occasions, the reputation of this TV series is expected to usher in a bigger explosion.
