480. Old stubborn

The critics in China have long been completely different from those in their early years.

Now anyone can be a film critic, and many Weibo big Vs can claim to be a film critic when posting video comments.

But there are still some more stubborn and conservative film critics, although there are not many of them.

However, their influence still exists. Of course, these conservative and stubborn film critics have left the market and most of the time, they are critical of the film.

Chen Helin is one of the best.

But you can't communicate with film critics like Chen Helin at all.

Nowadays, most film critics write film reviews, criticize people, and so on, just for money, or at least for making a living.

For example, more famous film critics like Zhang Weiming have actually been no longer pure.

But Chen Helin is different. In the eyes of most film critics and film companies, Chen Helin is definitely a representative figure of old and hard-working film critics.

Film critics like Chen Helin are indeed very ethical. At least they will not call bad movies an excellent one.

Moreover, Chen Helin's decisiveness is really hard. He never comments on foreign movies, but domestic movies rarely have any high praise in his writings.

This is why Chen Helin is not popular, because Chen Helin himself is not short of money, and he is older, and his qualifications are there.

"The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" was scored more than 8.5 points on the audio-visual website, but in Chen Helin's eyes, it was just a movie that barely surpassed the passing line by about 7 points.

How could a film critic like this be liked?

Not only does the film company not like it, but the media also doesn’t like it, because not only does he like to scold movies, he will not let it go.

But sometimes, people are like this. Chen Helin's temper is a bit like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and is not liked by people in the film and television industry. However, because of this, Chen Helin's influence seems so valuable as film critics gradually begin to lose authority.

Let me put it this way, although many people hate Chen Helin, he is the one whom all film companies want the most.

It’s nothing, because it’s normal to be scolded by Chen Helin and criticized, but once Chen Helin praises it, it means that this movie is definitely worthy.

Chen Helin is not a column critic for any media company. He was originally a column critic for the magazine "China Film Report", but soon he had a quarrel with "China Film Report". The reason was that once he criticized a movie too much, and that movie was invested by Huaying, and it was also a main theme movie. As a result, "China Film Report" naturally did not dare to report Chen Helin's original text, but changed it and modified the sentences to make the tone of criticism less sharp, but it annoyed Chen Helin.

According to Chen Helin, if even such criticism cannot be accepted, then Chinese movies will be really beyond help.

So, he quit the film critic's column "Chinese Film Report".

But he is also a person who can't rest, and he likes to watch movies and write movie reviews, but others are scared by him. Although Chen Helin himself, because of his identity and qualifications, and his children are very successful, some are in high positions and some are doing big business. He himself had a broad relationship in his early years, so he is fine. Even if the official people are not happy, he dare not do anything to him, but the media dare not.

For a while, Chen Helin became a little unenergized and felt uninterested in anything he did.

The family naturally felt sorry for the old man, and then the little granddaughter gave him an idea, got him a private blog, and wrote it and posted it.

Although Chen Helin is disliked by many people, he is also an "authoritative celebrity" after all, and the old man is famous for being fair or stubborn, so there are a small group of people who are particularly fond of him.

Then, Chen Helin's movie review blog gradually gathered some fans.

Chen Helin is not short of money, so his blog is naturally very clean. The old man doesn’t do anything else, just watch movies and write movie reviews. It’s so good that he doesn’t look at people’s faces or how the outside world comments. Anyway, he just does his own way. Instead, his blog has become a gathering place for some fellow fans.

As film critics become more and more likely to be public relations, many people begin to distrust the so-called film critics. On the contrary, although Chen Helin is harsh, strict, merciless and disregards his relatives, he has become a real authoritative person.

Moreover, Chen Helin's film reviews have always been forwarded or quoted casually, and he doesn't care. So, instead, his film reviews are often spread, resulting in a growing influence. Of course, Chen Helin himself doesn't pay much attention to this matter.

Chen Helin is not young and is over 70 years old this year, but the old man has a bad temper but is in good health, so he did not live in the villa in the city that his children bought for him, but ran back to his hometown.

Taohua County, Milin City.

Milin City is a fourth-tier prefecture-level city with average economic development and an agricultural city. There are no other high-pollution enterprises in the city, but it is very livable.

Taohua County, named after peach blossoms, is naturally the land as it is named. It is rich in dense forest peaches and is also famous throughout the country.

Taohua Cinema is a cinema in Taohua County. The theater is an old cinema. The equipment is not very new, but this is Chen Helin's favorite place to come.

Moreover, this cinema has been acquired by Chen Helin's son for a long time, so Chen Helin doesn't need to buy tickets when watching movies or something.

To put it bluntly, for Chen Helin's children, this is a cinema that allows the old man to pass the time.

The theater has four screening halls, not a big theater, but it is well operated. Although Taohua County’s economy cannot be compared with those of the strong counties in the country, it is not bad.

Chen Nannan is Chen Helin's youngest granddaughter and the most favored granddaughter. The relationship between grandfather and grandson is also the best.

Because Chen Nannan's parents are very busy at work, they have been with their grandfather since they were young. Even though Chen Helin went to Taohua County to retire, Chen Nannan has to come back to accompany his grandfather almost every week.

The so-called "those who are close to the red" are red and those who are close to the ink are black. Chen Nannan followed his grandfather when he was young, so he was naturally influenced by his grandfather and loved movies very much, so he studied in college.

Of course, as he grows older, Chen Nannan occasionally argues with his grandfather. Although he ends up with Chen Nannan acting like a scoundrel, the grandfather and grandson are happy.

It was another weekend. Chen Nannan held his grandfather's arm and the two of them came to the Taohua Cinema together.

"Old Chen, Miss Chen, you are here." The theater manager General Ni would greet him at the door every time, and this time was no exception.

"Uncle Ni, Grandpa and I are watching the movie. Are there any recommendations tonight?" Chen Nannan asked with a smile.
