As soon as Ye Wei's "Five Jokes" came out, the voices of the media and followers were mixed. Many of them sighed: "Poor Owen Graeberman!"
Graeberman has been working at Entertainment Weekly for 16 years. As the chief film critic of this boring but prestigious magazine, he has seen a lot of ups and downs, but he has rarely been openly mocked like this. And he did give ss I gave it a high rating of "A" and praised it, "This is an incredible and touching life surfing."
The talented filmmaker told him to shut up and go away, as if it was a shame to receive his praise.
People are looking forward to Graeberman¡¯s response. The first thing they saw was the battle situation on Sunday the 15th.
??Almost all the entertainment sections of print media have new reports on this war of words. On Ye Wei's side, seven jokes were reprinted in large numbers; on the film critic side, film critics in tabloids like the New York Post were outraged. Kyle Smith, another film critic of the New York Post, published a long article criticizing Ye Wei and similar phenomena: "It is precisely because of the stubborn narcissism of these people who make movies that bad movies are flooding our eyes."
Smith is categorizing Ye Wei. This guy scolds film critics when he makes a bad movie and is criticized. He is the kind with the worst moral character! Naturally, the 93% likeability rating will not appear in his long articles.
¡°It¡¯s not just him, it¡¯s not just tabloids or tabloids. Film critics from all walks of life who have been ridiculed by the crowd are increasingly joining the ranks of crusade against Ye Wei.
Claudia Pugh of "USA Today" wrote that "Ye Wei's humor is misplaced and his irrational attitude leaves people speechless"; Michael Russell of "The Oregonian" wrote that "Ye Wei Moira Macdonald of the Seattle Times, who previously had an image of Wei Mi, refuted him this time as "the goodness of reality is not a reason to praise a movie"
Great firepower! Mainstream film critics work together to denounce a person, and the lack of voice makes it almost impossible for the person involved to stand up. But now with the Internet, everything is more complicated, and the speed of paper media cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Fortunately, there are online media that are watching the situation more closely!
Lou Ramnik, who twice called Ye Wei "shameless", updated his diary on his newly opened Facebook and said, "Ye Wei gave me a gift and asked me to say good things about his new movie!" He posted a set of photos, All I saw was a Pelikan fountain pen priced at 350 pounds. The identification label on the packaging box had not yet been removed. It came with a beautiful gift card. Sure enough, there was written in Ye Wei's handwriting: "To Dear Lu , please use this pen to write a gorgeous movie review for me! Thank you, viy.¡±
Although "geo" does not necessarily mean good reviews, this is undoubtedly a bribe
Someone seems to be pushing it. As soon as this blog came out in the morning, it spread quickly on the Internet, causing an uproar. Websites such as AOL and Yahoo News rushed to grab the headlines. Websites like Fox News, which have always disliked Ye Wei, reported and criticized her immediately. Ye Wei was very embarrassed this time!
This kind of industry scandal is rare, but it is not the first time it has happened, but it is very rare if it happens to talented filmmakers and well-known film critics, maybe not at all.
Usually it¡¯s a young actor trying to bribe film critics, pleading, ¡°Even if you criticize the movie, please agree with my performance,¡± ¡°Praise me more,¡± and so on. No celebrity would do this. Only those brainless actors who have no public relations or management teams, do not understand ecology and are nervous about performance would do this on their own initiative. They hope to improve their careers but always end up ruining themselves.
Because for film critics, this is a rare opportunity to be a hero and show justice. Regardless of sincerity or fame and fortune, it will always be exposed and the briber will be scolded.
It is a scandal to those who offer bribes, but good news to those who refuse to accept bribes!
What is Ye Wei¡¯s identity? What brain? To do such a stupid thing!
marvelous! The Weihei people who were about to evacuate immediately rushed out to various news comment boards and social networking sites, standing on the moral high ground, criticizing Ye Wei's shameless, dirty, and hypocritical behavior: "Now everyone knows the reason, little one." Things are so angry.", "viy, you can shut up, you are an idiot", "You are really a hypocrite while scolding the film critics, haha", "If Ye Wei is a joke, it is also a joke. Failed joke that¡¯s not funny.¡±¡
What! ? The Wei Mi people who were about to declare victory were shocked and embarrassed to find out that it was Viy's handwriting and signature. This was familiar to the public because many of his original paintings and manuscripts had been exposed. But why? When did it happen? Is this within the scope of normal public relations?
Faced with conclusive evidence, it is difficult for everyone in the viy camp to argue, and many people cannot accept it, especially ss is a sunny and inspirational movie.
This incident caused a sudden change in the trend of the Internet. Those who condemned Ye Wei, those who ridiculed, those who doubted that it was not his first time and therefore had a reputation as a genius, those who expressed disappointment The viy camp suddenlyThe ground is falling apart. I just hope that the spokesperson can give a good explanation and not make this stain so ugly.
Internet media are rushing to report, and it is foreseeable that tomorrow's print media will definitely report the same: "Ye Wei tried to bribe New York Times film critic Lou Ramnik!"
¡°Is ¡°Death of a Film Critic¡± still on the board? The eighth joke that comes to life!
What a joke! ? This was undoubtedly the first reaction of Ye Wei's relatives and friends after hearing the news. It must be an imitation of the handwriting, but Ramnik dared to say this and it was unlikely to be a false accusation. What happened? Uninformed public relations release?
Lionsgate was equally surprised, how could such a thing happen? Public relations are not like this. Even those who are judges and film critics of the Golden Globe Awards have long stopped giving gifts and inviting trips. Last year, someone died because of a few bottles of beer.
And because the box office of commercial films has nothing to do with the evaluation of film critics, spending money there has no other use than spending money, and it is not as effective as a TV advertisement. Therefore, commercial films, especially blockbusters, never care about praise or criticism, but only collect box office; on the other hand, literary and artistic films The foundation of the film criticism industry is that their readers and the industry are not fools. Those notorious "film critics" will only be spurned by movie fans and expelled from the film criticism industry.
For example, Shawn-Edwards (shawn-edwards) is a film critic for the Fox4 channel news program Kansas-City, but you can¡¯t find any of his comments on Rotten Tomatoes, and he does not appear as a film critic on Metactic. under the entry. People accused him of being a publicist for the film's distributor, and he may not have even written the short review sentences. For this reason, Edward has been crowned the "Annual Advertising Machine Award" selected by eFilmctic many times. Let alone a film critic, his career as a film critic is actually over.
Sean Edwards, David Manning and others can only deceive ordinary viewers who are not familiar with the film critic world, seldom read film reviews, and occasionally encounter good reviews of advertisements to increase their interest.
On the contrary, Owen Graeberman was criticized all day long. Being teased by Ye Wei had nothing to do with being a film critic. He was still a film critic whose legitimacy was recognized.
What is a movie¡¯s public relations to film critics? That is the direction of public opinion. An independent film usually starts its operation at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year. If it is successful, it will have a momentum before it is released. Like "Half Nelson" did this year, it established its prestige by showing off at multiple film festivals. , it won¡¯t be enough if the film critics don¡¯t give it good reviews and send it into the awards season.
The so-called film critic world is also divided into factions, such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc., with different associations and different styles. Every year, there are some disagreements and fights over the Film Critics Association Awards. Public relations for movie reviews cannot be achieved by buying off one or two film critics, nor can it be done by buying off ten or twenty, as it can become a scandal at any time and be ruined.
Ye Wei knows this! It¡¯s clear that the packaging of the preview dvd is even unusable in the wooden box. How about giving me a Pelikan pen? He couldn't have done something stupid like this even if he was high on marijuana.
Just when Lionsgate was about to appoint a spokesperson to do crisis public relations, it received a mysterious notification
That afternoon, TMZ announced a shocking news. It contacted Lou Ramnik to find out the details, but Ramnik expressed surprise at the matter: "That's not me. I haven't opened FAC yet." Facebook It has only been publicized for a month, and it is still a new thing for non-students to use Facebook.
Isn¡¯t that Lou Rumnik?
Who is that! ?
The tmz reporter noticed a detail that had not been noticed before. "Lou Ramnik" did not claim to be a "film critic of the New York Post" in his profile, but a film critic of goodandba. When he opened this information, he was very surprised. Suspicious website with only a few lines of text information:
what the hell! "Lou Ramnik" is the most obvious prank. It could be anyone behind it, but how could he have Ye Wei's handwritten gift card? Imitation?
TMZ's astonishment and knowledge of the media are also shocked. The news of the question mark on the question mark is updated on various websites. This thing really happened one after another. At night, many people didn't know that it had changed several times. It was as foggy as a Hitchcock movie.
Just when things were getting chaotic, the situation took a shocking turn!
"Ramnik" posted another diary post, "Thank you viy for the gift, you and the movie are both great!" He posted a photo of himself and Ye Wei, not that middle-aged Lou Ramnik. ! A young man with a simple and honest smile, he even showed off his driver¡¯s license, his real name is Lou Menick, from Springfield, Missouri
The minds of Wei Mi Wei Hei are buzzingSo this is all Ye Wei's prank?
