There are plenty of good actors out there, why choose Tong Yao? They're just asking for trouble! She'd already been taught a lesson in real life.
No wonder there are so many bad reviews. You shouldn't be writing about Chinese entertainment; you should be writing about a domineering protagonist who criticizes everything and everyone. In what era are you so powerful without any background? To put it simply, who are you? People tolerate you, not because the protagonist has to act subservient, but because everything has to be logical, not just self-indulgent. Those photos from the Berlin awards ceremony were particularly toxic.
Even Zhang Baizhi can eat it, the protagonist is awesome, the protagonist just likes wearing worn-out shoes.
The first episode with Yi Yan was really good, but then they brought up Yi Fei and I just didn't want to watch anymore.
Generally speaking, *The Coffin in the Mountain* is more like an art film, and art films that don't do well at the box office usually rely on the director's fame and only occasionally become hits under special circumstances. I think it's easier to make a film about a nightclub—it's cheaper and simpler to shoot, and it's also more likely to become a hit. I haven't seen *The Coffin in the Mountain*.
Main character's grades
His first film, *The Coffin in the Mountain*, won the Berlin Golden Bear. His second film, *Parasite*, won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. The following year, Parasite also won awards. Oscar Best Foreign Language Oscar Best Screenplay Oscar Best Director Oscar Best Picture I have to say the protagonist is really awesome 👍, and the protagonist is a Chinese citizen!
Based on the defense
I admit I'm a complete idiot; I subscribed to everything without even reading the reviews. 😭
A company with annual revenue exceeding 300 million and profits exceeding 4 billion is considered incredibly wealthy? They'd need funding after two years of earnings, let alone giving up a quarter of their shares? Are they out of their minds?
The male protagonist is both stupid and wicked, and enjoys impotent rage.
Criticizing veterans and directors right from the start—who are you to talk to? And then the author steps in, and the protagonist is forgiven and even helped in various ways—isn't that absurd?
