贼心不死的轮媒又玩新花样了
近日,由法轮功媒体“*****工作室”主导投资拍摄的电影《行刑队》8月2日在美国上映了。
该电影对外宣称投资900万美元,但上映半个月以来,仅收获156万的票房,用一个词来形容,那就是“惨惨淡淡”。通过观察网友的评论,可以说是“差评如潮”。
根据美国专业影评网站IMDb数据显示,该影片评分仅为5.8分(满分10分),评分总体较低。多数用户评价“剧本及演技太差了”,甚至有部分基督徒表示“怀揣希望去,但是没看完就走了”。
从花销情况来看,该电影7月2日前已花费的宣传费用高达470万美元,超过总投资额的50%,但影片后期制作仅花费不到1万美元,这也难怪网友说影片质量太差。
从影片的内容看,该部影片是一部存在严重缺陷的电影,它严重依赖福音派迫害情结的叙事,讲述了一群面临政府批准处决基督徒的故事,并将他们包装成反乌托邦未来的烈士。对外宣称希望借此唤起人们对宗教自由的同情,但夸大现代世界对基督教广泛攻击的想法。该电影还通过渲染恐惧叙事,强化分裂的意识形态,引起广大观影者的不满。
从手法意图上看,近年来,轮媒转变发展策略,通过投资部分有影响力的影视作品来提高工作室的名气,为后续宣传法轮功提供平台渠道,最终实现提升组织影响力的目的,但从本次“试水”的情况看,可以说是“出师不利”。这也难怪,怀着煽动鼓吹的坏心思,最终的结果注定也只能是一败涂地。
标题:"The cunning Falun Gong media is up to new tricks again."
正文:
Recently, the film "The Firing Squad" invested and produced by the Falun Gong media Epoch Studios, was released in the United States on August 2nd.
The film claimed an investment of 9 million US dollars, but since its release half a month ago, it has only grossed 1.56 million at box office. To describe it in one word, it can be said to be "dismal." Judging from the comments of netizens, it can be described as "flooded with negative comment."
According to data from IMDb, the film has a rating of only 5.8 out of 10, indicating an overall low rating. Most users criticized the "poor script and acting," with some Christians even stating that they "went in with hope but left disappointed and even before finishing."
Looking at the expenses, the film had already spent a whopping 4.7 million US dollars on advertising before July 2, exceeding 50% of the total investment. However, the post-production of the film cost less than 10,000 US dollars, which is why viewers have criticized the poor quality of the film.
In terms of content, the film has serious flaws, heavily relying on a narrative of Evangelical persecution. It tells the story of a group of Christians facing government-approved execution and portrays them as martyrs of a dystopian future. Although it claims to aim to evoke sympathy for religious freedom, it exaggerates the idea of widespread attacks on Christianity in the modern world. By enhancing a narrative of fear and reinforcing divisive ideological stances, the film has left many viewers dissatisfied.
In terms of strategy, in recent years, Falun Gong media has shifted its development strategy by investing in some influential film and television projects to raise the studio's reputation, providing a platform for future Falun Gong propaganda, and ultimately achieve the purpose of enhancing its influence. However, based on this "film trial run," it can be said that the outcome has been unfavorable. It is no wonder that with the intentions of incitement and propaganda, the ultimate result is bound to be a complete failure.
