Chapter 1651: Real Dagger Revealed
September 23rd, Monday.
At Fei Huang Workspace…
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were flipping through the comments on the internet about “My Property” and “The Future You Choose”.
To them, their work had been completed after filming the Future that You Choose.
Being able to win the Golden Lion Award and the current box office trend was not bad had proven that they had exceeded Boss Pei’s initial goal.
Even so, these two people did not relax.
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce were still staring at the film review and public opinion online while the entire workspace was already celebrating their holiday.
That was because they knew very well that the battle was far from over.
This movie might have achieved both reputation and business, but it was still the most important battle of public opinion.
The anti-Tengda Alliance had not lost yet. My Property was still a branch of the other party’s counterattack. Naturally, Tengda Corporation could not relax in the battle of public opinion.
As Zhu Xiaoce browsed the webpage, he said, “At the moment, I can’t be sure how many film critics Vinci Media has found, but I can be sure of two points.”
“First, they have adopted a very smart strategy this time. It’s very tricky.”
“We’re not going to criticize the game mindlessly like we did before. Instead, we’re going to make two preparations.
“First of all, attacking ‘The Future You Choose’ is more superficial than the content of ‘My Property’. It does not touch the core and essence. It is slightly inferior in depth.”
“If this point is not valid, we will praise both movies. However, we will focus on expressing the film portion that was shot at Tengda Corporation in ‘My Property’.”
“Secondly, they should have found many film critics to raise the strongest one through the dog-eat-dog competition. At the moment, he has already surfaced. That’s the article.”
Huang Sibo looked at Zhu Xiaoce’s computer screen and realized that there was a very popular film review title on it: ‘Double Stars Shine! Domestic sci-fi film, ushered in the moment of light’.
The content of this film review was very long because he had analyzed both movies in detail.
From the content, this film review did not obviously step on either film. The analysis of both movies was penetrating and explained the skills in the film.
This was obviously a choice that netizens had formed naturally.
Vinci Media had obviously found many film critics to do film reviews in order to create a greater public opinion momentum. At the same time, they gave them a general direction to express themselves freely because they did not want their ideas to cause too much interference.
Some of the film critics were obviously biased. However, these were basically seen through at a glance and could not generate effective popularity.
This film review praised both. However, it was focused and had the best effect among all the film reviews.
What’s more, this film review had indeed praised the idea. Whether it was analyzing the deeper meaning of the two movies, analyzing some specific methods during the filming process of the movie, or analyzing the exquisite acting skills of the actors in the movie, it had all perfectly hit the point.
However, the ‘essence’ of this film review was nine truths and one false.
In other words, through a large amount of real content to increase the credibility of the manuscript, there would be an extremely misleading expression in an extremely minor area.
Ordinary people would not even be able to tell that there was a problem. The impact of this manuscript was the greatest.
The main point of this film review was in the following paragraph.
“Comparatively, I think both movies have their advantages and disadvantages. However, the focus of their expression is different.”
“‘The Future You Choose’ focused its perspective on a small character. It hinted at a closed and despairing state of the entire society through the changes in his life. It can be said to be looking at the big from the small.”
“During the process of fully showing the life of this small character, the audience could very well bring him into a specific person. Naturally, they would empathize with this emotion. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why this movie could obtain the best male actor and the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. That was because the audience could resonate deeply with the character that Lu Zhiyao played.”
“On the other hand, ‘My Property’ did not make the audience feel too immersive. Instead, it displayed the entire society from the perspective of a calm bystander. Even though it also spent a lot of time showing the life of the poor protagonist, this emotion is rational. The cold is almost without subjective emotions.”
“The change in the life of the poor protagonist is actually a reflection of the entire society. On the surface, it is describing the change in a person’s life, but in fact, it is still describing the change in the entire society.”
“Therefore, from this point of view, the future that you choose would be easier for people to sympathize with you. My assets would be easier to think about from a more objective point of view.”
“‘The Future You Choose’ is easier to win an award at international film festivals because the emotions that are brought in would be common to foreigners. However, the way of thinking of ‘My Property’ is more in line with the way domestic audiences think. From my personal point of view, I prefer the way my assets express.”
“After all, since we’ve decided to shoot this theme, the profound meaning of the thinking must be the first priority.”
“In order to win the award, the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ added some skills to make the focus biased. In my opinion, this is a small flaw that is not a problem. It can be considered nitpicking.”
“Of course, both movies are actually very outstanding. It’s hard to tell who’s better and who’s worse. I don’t think there’s a need to step on the one and one. We should focus on the deep meaning that these two movies want to express.”
“These two movies actually express the same connotation. That is, when a monopoly business takes control of all aspects of our lives, he will definitely stand on the opposite side of ordinary people and consumers.”
“In some special circumstances, it is also a phenomenon that we should be vigilant if certain companies achieve a monopoly position through legal means. Therefore, various countries have anti-trust laws. When the law is not compatible with the real situation, they have to consider making some adjustments to the law so that the power of capital will not expand too much.”
“In the movie ‘My Property’, there was a very thought-provoking scene. That rich man started from scratch and reached his current scale step by step. Every step of his was completely legal. The poor protagonist was speechless. He felt that something was amiss, but he could not tell what was wrong.”
“If you want to dismantle the life of this rich man seriously, the first half of his life would be the image of a glorious and righteous striker: starting from scratch, constantly defeating his competitors through his own intelligence. Of course, in the process of commercial innovation, it would definitely provide a strong motivation for social development.”
“However, in the process of development, as he continued to stretch his hand towards different fields and achieve a monopoly, he finally became the image of such a antagonist. Everything he did seemed to be fine from his perspective, but in the end, he brought disaster to the entire world.”
“In reality, we should also be in awe of this and be vigilant, always keeping capital in cages.”
“Of course, this is not targeted at any company or person. Just like what the game ‘Future You Choose’ wants to express, the antagonist in it is not a single company, but the invisible will that can parasitize any company.”
Huang Sibo could not help but nod after reading this review.
He did not agree with this film review, but with Zhu Xiaoce’s previous analysis.
The impact of this film review was not far-reaching because it had indeed rich and detailed analysis of the two movies. However, the last paragraph looked objective and fair on the surface, but it actually had a special hint and inducement.
The first was to express that ‘The Future You Choose’ paid more attention to details and immersion, while ‘My Property’ paid more attention to connotations and ideology. It misled viewers to make a judgment: ‘My Property’ had a deeper meaning. Naturally, it was superior to others.
At this point, some viewers had already established this idea. However, some of them would not agree or even feel conflicted.
Thus, the author immediately tried to smooth things over. He said that both movies were very good and there was no difference. Then, he quickly looked elsewhere.
The connotation of the two movies was attacking monopolistic companies, and the film review focused on drawing the target of the attack on Tengda Corporation through the rich character in “My Property”.
The boss started from scratch and defeated his competitors through his own intelligence. In the process, he provided strong motivation for social development. However, he continued to develop into different fields to achieve a monopoly. If he had to take a seat, this person could only be Boss Pei.
In the end, the film review said that it was not targeted at any company or person but at the invisible will parasitizing the company. However, it was actually pointed at Tengda Corporation.
That was because everyone could tell that Tengda Corporation had actually won a huge victory in the war between Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda Alliance. What’s more, they would continue to achieve such a strong and even monopoly position in many fields in the future.
At that time, many people’s fear of monopolizing companies was actually very long.
Even though many people had a good impression of Tengda Corporation, such an uncertain imagination about the future still made people wary.
It was just as described in ‘My Property’. Everything that the protagonist of the tycoon did was completely legal and earned through his own intelligence. He might even have the act of fighting and monopolizing companies at the beginning of his entrepreneurship to obtain the support of ordinary people.
However, once a monopoly really formed between most industries, even various industries could cooperate closely and contact each other. Would companies that controlled such a huge power gradually change for the sake of the company’s own interests?
It was not strange to change. This was human nature. It was strange not to change.
Thus, through his interpretation of the two movies, he unintentionally or unintentionally shifted the blame to Tengda Corporation. Without a doubt, he had perfectly achieved the effect that Tengda Alliance originally wanted.
The real dagger was revealed!
