The first half of the review briefly introduces the synopsis of the story, allowing readers to have a rough idea of what kind of story this is without spoiling too much.
And this also shows that Qian not only watched the first three episodes, he also watched the original work of "Successor".
This means the situation is even worse.
Because if he only dwells on the first three episodes, there are still nine episodes to come. Many viewers will think that his views are one-sided, and they will still reserve their opinions and continue to watch the following episodes.
But now Qian has also criticized the original work of "Succession".
If readers agree with his point of view, then there is no need to watch the next nine episodes.
Cui Geng glanced at it and found that Qian's summary of the entire story of "Successor" was relatively accurate and had not been misinterpreted.
"Successor" is an anti-superhero theme, which means that through this story, it wants to satirize the concept of "superhero" itself, or to dispel the ideological foundation of "superhero movies" and criticize the traditional concept of superheroes.
Qian, on the other hand, believes that this kind of satire and criticism is a kind of "self-righteousness".
"'Succession' is nothing more than a story about a superhero who does evil, the people are deceived, public opinion is manipulated, good systems are in vain, and unscrupulous people succeed in gaining power."
"In the story, we don't find any good people at all."
"Needless to say the protagonist Phil, he hits and scolds the people around him. Naturally, he wants to become a superhero not to save the world and make the people of Hope City live safer and better, but to pursue his own interests.
Self-interest, it can be said that he is the worst person in this extremely bad society, so he became the strongest superhero."
"What about other superheroes besides Phil? Obviously, they are just like Phil. They are glamorous on the surface, but in fact they are just like a dog and do all kinds of evil. They show off their acting skills in front of the public, but behind the scenes they are highly tied to the big conglomerates. They are completely unworthy.
The four words 'superhero'."
"As for those large consortiums that control the media and superhero talent shows, they increase their control over Hope City by supporting superheroes, and enjoy the wealth and wealth of ordinary people."
"The so-called superhero talent show and superhero election are nothing more than these big consortiums and superheroes with ulterior motives maliciously twisting and using the rules left by Captain World to allow the people to select superheroes to indirectly control power."
, it has become a model where 'superheroes are controlled by big conglomerates and turn into performers to deceive the people to gain power'."
"The ultimate winners are superheroes and big conglomerates. People think they have rights, but in fact they have nothing because their rights have been manipulated and stolen."
"After seeing this, many people may say, isn't this just a normal anti-superhero movie? Why is it so 'self-righteous'?"
"Because the hypothesis of this story seems reasonable and the logic seems very clear, but in fact it cannot stand up to scrutiny at all."
"It can also be said that it is full of loopholes."
"First of all, this story portrays the IQ of ordinary people so low that it makes people feel that even a group of monkeys will not be deceived by these big conglomerates and superheroes for so long."
"Superhero drafts have always been a scam. One after another, superheroes show off their personas on stage and harvest public support to gain strength. Then one after another, their personas collapse and scandals break out."
"This cycle has been going on for decades, and the people have not been able to find out that they have been deceived? Have they not doubted these superheroes? Have they not tried to find a way to change this situation?"
"Indeed, they changed, and the result of the change was that they elected a weird guy like Phil."
"It can only be said that there is an obvious act of deception in this regard. After all, the people are stupid enough, and it is reasonable for Phil to be in power. But this kind of deception itself will greatly dispel the rationality of the entire story."
"If the model of a story cannot be realized among a group of normal people, but can only be realized among a group of monkeys or even a group of pigs, then does this model still make sense to us?"
"Secondly, the big conglomerates and other superheroes in this story are too stupid, and there is also a serious phenomenon of intelligence reduction."
"First, the superheroes mocked and humiliated Phil mercilessly without any fear of retaliation; then some large consortiums were easily persuaded by Phil to create a 'successor' with him.
variety show.”
"Didn't they realize that Phil had ulterior motives? Aren't they not vigilant at all?"
"The subsequent counterattack against Phil was even more ridiculous. It stands to reason that as long as a stronger superhero takes action, Phil can be crushed to death. However, these large consortiums and superheroes insist on fighting on their own, restricting each other, and are forced to be defeated by Phil.
I will defeat them all."
"How can such a person become the strongest superhero through superhero election? This is as ridiculous as a circus clown becoming the president!"
"In short, the entire story of "Successor" is built on a huge aura of wisdom. It not only brings wisdom to all ordinary people, but also to all big conglomerates and all superheroes."
"With this indiscriminate coverage of the halo of intelligence, Phil, a second-generation rich man who does anything and unscrupulous, can reach the top of the superhero, and the whole story can be established."
"Let's think about what kind of values are conveyed by superhero-themed movies? They are positivity, progress, and taking responsibility."
"It's not that anti-superhero movies can't exist. The key is to be reasonable, to be profound, to truly analyze the problem, and to develop the story on the basis of the normal intelligence of all characters, rather than just patting the head, thinking of some gods to unfold, and creating some gimmicks."
Oppose for the sake of opposition, thinking that you have the secret to wealth."
"Not to mention the powerful power of superheroes that exceeds the understanding of ordinary people. Even if you choose a building manager in a residential building, there are often complicated relationships. Most people have online IQs. In the end, the decision is made after a game between several households.
As a result, those selected are often relatively highly respected and truly capable people."
"But in such a big city of Hope, with such an awesome group of superheroes, the level displayed is actually not as good as an ordinary residential building. This is really funny."
"So, the drama series "Succession" is very well-filmed and well-produced. The key is that the entire story has gone astray from its roots and is completely crooked. Therefore, no matter how sophisticated it is, it is useless."
"From this point of view, it is reasonable for this drama to be rejected because it is neither good-looking nor profound."
…
After reading this film review, Cui Geng couldn't help but frown slightly and his expression was solemn.
After reading the title, I felt that the other party was prepared, and I became even more sure after reading the content.
The point is, the situation is a bit difficult!
Does this movie review make sense? I can’t say it’s completely unreasonable.
On the surface, I have talked about so much, but in fact, I have focused on one point and attacked it fiercely: reducing wisdom!
Qian feels that the entire story of "Successor" is about subjugating the intelligence of superheroes, conglomerates, and ordinary people, and the level of suppression is very outrageous, so Phil's conspiracy can succeed, and anti-superheroes
The story can be established.
But of course Cui Geng himself doesn't think so. He thinks that this is the normal IQ of these people.
No one can convince anyone on this point, and no one can prove themselves.
It just depends on whether the audience is more receptive to the former or the latter.
If the audience feels that this is not an intellectual attack, then Qian's film review will definitely not have any effect; but if the audience feels that this is an intellectual attack, then this film review will have a huge impact on "Successor" and further improve the rating.
Decrease, and the reputation will further deteriorate!
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that many viewers agree with Qian's point of view, and many people use real-life situations as examples to show how fair, impartial, and fully participatory a series of popular science elections are, even if there are
It is absolutely impossible for this or that problem to appear so young and mentally retarded as in the plot of "Successor".
After Cui Geng thought for a long time, he called Huang Sibo back.
"Brother Huang, I thought about it, but I have no idea..."
"This matter itself is something that cannot be explained clearly. No matter how reasonable the story itself is explained, people who think it is unreasonable will not change their views."
"We are proposing a hypothesis, and others are picking faults from the commanding heights. How can we defend this? Moreover, the matter itself is meaningless."
Huang Sibo sighed softly: "Hey, I think so too."
When he called Cui Geng, he actually didn't have much hope. He just thought that Cui Geng, as the original author, might be able to think of a good solution.
But now it seems that there is really no good solution.
Cui Geng suggested: "Brother Huang, how about you go to the advertising and marketing department to discuss it? They are responsible for the publicity plan of "Successor", maybe they can think of something."
Huang Sibo suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right."
"Okay, then I'll go make a call over there."
The publicity plan for "Successor" was created by Meng Chang. Although it seems that this publicity plan has failed so far, after all, the entire series has not been aired yet, which is not enough to draw a final conclusion.
Meng Chang is very smart, and many of his previous publicity plans have been successful. Maybe you can find a solution with him.
In fact, logically speaking, there is no reason for Feihuang Studio to be so nervous just because of a movie review, but the problem is that the beginning of "Successor" is indeed a bit cracked, and the ratings and reputation are completely lower than expected.
Even if there is no such post by Qian, we still have to find a way to reverse this reputation.
Otherwise, the popularity of the first three episodes has already cooled down so much. Even if the next few episodes are aired and the audience is given a few big scenes, it will not be enough to change this situation.
