Chapter 79 Media Evaluation
On the day after the release of Immort of Life, large and small newspapers and magazines, online media began to give their own film reviews.
Movie Magazine, which has always been known for its business, even uses the title "An Enlightenment brought to us by a teenager, science fiction is not equal to stunts!", which is full of enthusiastic praise of "Immortity".
"A person from the Qin Dynasty lived for thousands of years until modern times. He experienced or promoted countless major historical events. He drank with Li Bai, talked with Su Shi, and even accidentally became Huo Qubing. In order to protect himself, he continued to integrate into the community and constantly migrate. One day, he suddenly decided to tell the story. So there is this movie. The rhythm and atmosphere of the film are very comfortable. The whole plot of the film takes place in a narrow living room, which is carried out by the dialogue between the characters. The shooting technique is very innovative. There are no ups and downs and suspenseful plots, no love of life and death, no hot and dazzling special effects. There are just a few people sitting around the living room, facing all kinds of cross-and-answer questions, art, religion, history, geography, calmly, talk. That's the confrontation of ideas. I have been nervous for an hour and a half. Appropriate music, appropriate love, appropriate loneliness, appropriate cleverness!
It is appropriate to describe this film in plain terms. In the film, Wang Zhengfei did not deliberately play any personal talent. At first glance, it looks like a Virgo shot by a student who has just graduated from the directing department. But if you look carefully, it is full of the talent of this talented young director. Whether it is a well-conceived plot or a special and innovative shooting method, it all reflects the talent of this young man. Some people are born with extraordinary talents. There is no doubt that Wang Zhengfei is such a genius!"
"I have always believed that science fantasy movies are just a reconstruction of time and space, and the part involving history is blurred as a point in time and space. However, after watching "Immortality" last night, I really found that history, as a fresh material for film creation, is better than "time and space", which seems to exist only in Western film creation.
Movies come from the imagination of history, and the imagination of history is strictly not a structural surname, but a decorative surname. The biggest selling point of commercial films created with history as material is not to restore, but to reconstruct history. There are many films similar to this process, such as another historical suspense masterpiece The Da Vinci Code. The plain ending of the film "Immortality" brings the story back to reality. Perhaps the new director Wang Zhengfei made the film's reconstruction of history not so horrible with such decorative behavior. Therefore, it attracts the audience and resonates with it." - "Film of the World"
Compared with business magazines such as "Watching Movies", the view of the famous magazine "World Film" is more practical, and the professional surname is also stronger, but it is also unexpectedly praised by Wang Zhengfei.
"Many science fiction movies are narrated with time as the main line. The historical problems are either ignored as space-time nodes or retained as space-time fragments. In the narrative of history, the protagonist of the film completes the crossing of space-time fragments, and the historical question lies in the adjustment and reconstruction process from a space-time segment to infinite space-time fragments.
An ideological innovation that has had an important impact on human development must be the product of the times. Answering the questions that urgently needed to be answered at that time solved the confusion that people could not get rid of for a long time.
Perhaps this is the greatest inspiration for "Immort of Life".
He may not have too gorgeous camera switching, dazzling stunts, or touching movies, but such a movie makes people have a deep thinking after watching it!" - China Newsweek
"Explanate the world in a way that you have never thought of, and then pinch it with a snap and return to reality, but in the look back of sending you out, leaving a mysterious smile. This kind of theme has never lacked an audience. In the indifferent and fantasy, most people prefer to choose the latter, not the true or false. The story of dabbled in the mysterious label!
At first glance, Wang Zhengfei's story seems to be an action of hanging sheep's head and selling dog meat, with the name of a science fiction blockbuster, but it does not have any characteristics of previous science fiction blockbusters. At the beginning, looking at the general picture, plain plot, narrow scenes, there is indeed a feeling of being deceived in my heart, but really Looking on, there is only one sentence to describe it, that is, go to his stunts and save the world!
Science fiction films are not science and technology films, and science fiction science fiction is science fiction. With the popularity of Hollywood blockbusters, more and more people agree with Hollywood-style blockbusters, but they forget that science fiction originally originated from science and technology fiction. Technology is just a means of reflecting such fantasy, not all of science fiction. This The 18-year-old teenager used such a method to awaken people's initial understanding of science fiction with such a film, and also paid tribute to the predecessors who shot science fiction films!" - Star Weekly
"Chen Daoming, Wang Gang, Huang Xiaoming, Ning Jing, Liu Yun, these big stars in the mainland have also performed well in "Immort of Life", but in this film, all their limelight is blocked by Wang Zhengfei, a young man who is only 18 years old, and they are also a producer at a young age. The director, screenwriter and leading actor are all together, not to mention in China, even in the world!
Although the acting skills are still immature, and the director's technique is also a little green. In this movie, Wang Zhengfei did not use any stunts, but this plainness completely subverts our previous views on science fiction movies. This 'science fiction blockbuster' that looks sideways seems to be on the right path, and the current country The popular blockbuster model learning from Hollywood is a completely different movie mode. The essence of the movie is not to pile it up with money, but to pay attention to it!" - China TV News
There are good reviews and bad reviews, but in comparison, most of the bad reviews appear on the Internet, because the network is a virtual place that allows you to criticize people casually. That's how the so-called trolls come from.
"What rubbish, cheating me!"
"I don't know the so-called fog in the clouds, quite speechless!"
"I'm so disappointed!"
Under these two completely different and contradictory views, most of the audience's curiosity was stir-picked up and walked into the cinema to watch.
At the same time, the first box office data of "Immort of Life" was also sent to Wang Zhengfei.

It's sad. Twenty-six percent of people said they were decisive, but only one person said they would be decisive. It's miserable!
