Chapter 981 Focus and Evaluation of Movies

Zhou Xia first looked at the trending searches on Weibo.

There are three related to movies in the first dozen eyes, and there are nine in the top fifty!

The hot search on Weibo's first post even stunned Zhou Xia himself.

"Zhou Xia is a great director."

What's happening here?
Zhou Xia hurriedly clicked to take a look, and after seeing it, he finally understood, and even had a headache.

Zhou Xia hasn't checked the data, made any statistics, and doesn't know how many gays and lesbians there are in the three places.

This microblog is obviously the respect and compliment of "comrades" to him.

The few famous gay film critics who used to blackmail him and gossip about his traffic are the most exaggerated.

"What is morality? When we love each other, it is morality."

This is a line that Carol said for comrades in the movie. She comforted Terris. Now many people use this line to evaluate Zhou Xia.

"What is greatness, dare to shoot this subject, is greatness. As one of the most successful commercial directors in the world, Zhou Xia, who is only 25 years old, stopped filming several of his box office hits and went to Hollywood to spend a huge amount of investment. Please come Two Oscar-winning actresses, as well as cinematographer Roger, shot a 'few people' film, which is unique in the history of global cinema."

Seeing that the most retweeted and liked short review was more subtle and did not lead towards 'lesbian' movies, Zhou Xia was quite relieved.

But he couldn't calm down after seeing the other Weibo posts below.

"With Zhou Xia's influence and the reputation of "The Price of Love", I believe that after the film is released around the world, it will definitely play a certain role in promoting the current global gay movement and relevant legislation in various countries. Thank you Zhou Xia, you He is not only a commercial film wizard, but also a film master who really cares about society and human beings."

There are many others who blow more loudly below, and Zhou Xia can't stand it anymore.

He was worried that the movie would be guided in this direction, and it would be really miserable if it was taken offline in the end when it was being screened.

But now it is 2015 after all, as long as there is no hype for passionate dramas, I believe this theme, the General Administration will not take it to heart.

But Zhou Xia knew his influence, so he definitely needed special treatment.

If the movie continues to cause too much noise in this regard, and domestic movies are not rated, many teenagers and girls watch movies, in order to reduce the impact, it is not impossible for this kind of thing to happen.

You can't use this excuse to let the movie be released. You can always find it from other aspects.

Things are already like this, Zhou Xia can only hope that the gust of wind will pass soon, and everyone will pay more attention to the movie itself.

Fortunately, during the movie promotion stage, they hardly promoted the 'lesbian' theme.

Speaking of which, the original director of this movie, Hines, is a gay man, so maybe he made this movie with this in mind, to speak out for gays.

How could he ignore this.

Thinking of this matter, Zhou Xia picked up WeChat and quickly sent a message to Yang Tianzhen.

Let her deal with the current movie popularity, push other aspects of evaluation, and try to let the enthusiasm in this aspect dissipate as soon as possible.

Yang Tianzhen was also discussing this matter with Zhang Zhao, but when he heard Zhou Xia's request, he hurried to do it.

Zhou Xia felt relieved, and went to watch the second trending search caused by comments from ordinary movie fans: "God-level performance".

This is because some of the movie fans who watched the movie were attracted by the god-level performances of Nicole and Jennifer.

It goes without saying that such a literary film requires the acting skills of the actors, but such a film with two heroines gives them enough room to display their acting skills, and their performance has won the respect of professionals and ordinary movie fans.

Another hot search is about the real and touching love between the two heroines shown in the movie.

Ordinary movie fans, when watching this movie, the first thing they notice is the main line of the story, and relatively few other in-depth aspects are understood.

Zhou Xia also understands and is satisfied with their high evaluation of the movie.

After all, it is an English movie, and it tells the story of America's past. Most people can't see anything wrong, and can only pay attention to the story of the movie, the photography, the performance of the actors, the soundtrack and so on.

Zhou Xia finished reading the top ten trending searches, and didn't bother to read the others, so she went to look at Weibo posts by celebrities such as Xiaohu, Yaya, Sisi, and Xiaoai after watching the movie.

"Emotions are common. I hope that lovers in the world will eventually get married. The second literary film directed by Zhou Xia is not to be missed. It is a touching American story."

Xiaohu simply posted a Weibo.

Zhou Xia looked at Yufei's Weibo again, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"'What a strange girl you are, flung out of space. My angel, flung out of space.'What a strange girl you are, flung out of space; you seem to fly from the universe, my angel.'

"The Price of Love", Carol and Terris are a couple who understand and know how to love. After watching this movie, you will learn to grow, and true love will make you stronger. "

This is a quote from an English line in the movie, with a translation and a short commentary.

She is indeed a girl who likes to read.

Zhou Xia smiled, and was about to read other people's Weibo comments, when the phone rang, and it was a large message from his assistant Xiaobai on WeChat.

When I opened it, it turned out that they were all excerpts from foreign countries, especially the evaluations of some newspapers and periodicals in the United States.

As early as during the Cannes Film Festival, many media from all over the world who went to Cannes reported and commented on the film after watching the film.

But relatively speaking, there are relatively few media and reports in the United States. After all, Hollywood is the number one in the world. The American media has always paid little attention to other foreign film festivals, and there are not many heavyweight media.

Now that the film is officially released in China, and it is also screened in the United States, it naturally has more comments.

"The high degree of restoration of the film's setting to the era is shocking. It's hard to believe that this was shot by a foreign director. From this point of view, Zhou Xia is a successful film." —— Luo, a famous critic of the Chicago Sun jay albert

""The Price of Love" is easy to become a melodrama, but under the careful "carving" of Zhou Xia, Roger and the two leading actors Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lawrence, it has become a masterpiece and an epic Love movie.” – Los Angeles Times
"No matter how high your expectations are, The Price of Love will surprise you." - Wall Street Journal
"Nicole Kidman and Zha Youfu both contributed actress-level performances in this film, and their acting skills are hall-level in this film." The Hollywood Reporter.

"The high degree of restoration of New York in the 50s in this film makes it hard to believe that the film was filmed in the current Los Angeles Studios. Regarding the handling of the film's sensitive themes, the director maintains drama while being realistic and intriguing.

Although the love between Carol and Terris is a love between a woman and a woman, the director presents it beautifully in an insightful way, and at the same time makes the audience feel no different from the love between men and women in ordinary love movies.

With the development of the story, the audience walks into the hearts of the characters step by step, witnessing their journey from meeting to falling in love to knowing each other.However, without the actress-level acting skills of Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lawrence, Zhou Xia's ingenious setting and the perfect restoration of the filming team will eventually be disillusioned.
