"Hoe Rape" is completely different from the previous Gao Daquan main theme movies, the movie is extremely novel in terms of content and form, which makes the audience who are used to watching traditional feature films refreshing and has won an excellent reputation. Good word-of-mouth is like a snowball, constantly driving the audience into the cinema, and these audiences coming out of the cinema have driven more audiences into the cinema.

With the popularity of the movie, the streets and alleys of the north and south of the country, after tea and dinner, are talking about "Hoe Rape", it is like not watching "Hoe Rape" to keep up with the trend, and even unable to chat with people, causing countless viewers to buy tickets to catch up with the trend. The ticket window of the cinema is very hot, and even a ticket is hard to find. In some movie theaters, audiences start lining up just after 6 a.m., and by the time movies go on sale, there are often hundreds of people in line. Even in some places, because the audience can't buy tickets, they block the "flying tickets" at the door of the cinema.

In the boys' dormitory at Tsinghua University, a boy danced and said: ""The Rape of the Shoe is really wonderful!" The shooting is very enthusiastic and passionate, and many scenes are moving. If you can marry a girl like Liu Wenying, this life will not be in vain!"

The boy next to him smiled and said: "How can you be worthy of Liu Wenying, who is corrupt and degenerate like you, thinking about running to the capitalist world all day long, don't fight Liu Wenying's idea, or leave it to those of us who stay to build the motherland!"

On the playground of the Peking Opera Troupe of the comrades-in-arms of the Beiping Military Region, "The Hoe" is being screened. Feng Xiaogang, 21, is a recruit who has just enlisted in the army for a year. Since he can draw, he was assigned to the art team, and his daily work not only required designing stage sets, but also being responsible for loading and unloading the platform and pulling the boom on the auditorium. Although life was hard, he lived happily.

Feng Xiaogang has always liked to watch movies, especially war movies, especially "Southern Expedition and Northern War". However, after seeing "Hoe Rape", he was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a movie to exist. His eyes were glued to the big screen and he muttered: "This film is so powerful, it's even better than "Southern Expedition and Northern War". If only I could make a film like this. But as soon as he finished saying this, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm just an artist, how can I be a director!"

In a classroom at Jinan No. 2 Middle School, thirteen-year-old Gong Li was lying on her desk, looking out the window at the gray sky. My friend felt that she was weird today, as if she had something on her mind, so she asked, "Gong Li, what's wrong with you?"

Gong Li's face turned red all of a sudden, as a little girl of thirteen or fourteen, it was impossible for her to tell others that she liked the actor in the movie "Hoe Rape", even if she was her best friend, she wouldn't say it. She lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes, and whispered: "I don't want to be a singer anymore, I want to be an actor." I want to act in movies and play roles like Liu Wenying. ”

In the film screening room of the General Staff Headquarters, several elderly people were watching "The Rape". The shock brought by the movie touched every old man present, and during the movie, the old people secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes from time to time.

At the end of the screening, an old man said with satisfaction: "This movie is a bit like a real war." As soon as the trumpet of those movies that used to fight was blown, the enemy collapsed. Fighting is not like that. On the battlefield, people really fall piece by piece. After speaking, the old man saw the words "Xu Wangqiu" on the subtitles, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, two days ago, I received a report from Xiumei Film Studio, saying that they were going to make a movie about Vietnam, and the director was this Xu Wangqiu." ”

The old man next to him said: "This director is at a very good level, and he is beating Vietnam, we should support it." ”

The old man nodded slightly: "I think so too, let the Rongcheng Military Region transfer two divisions to them when the time comes." ”

If you have to find a group that is dissatisfied with the popularity of "Hoe Rape", there may only be a running filmmaker. The number of "Hoe Rape" shows is getting more and more, and the runners are literally living on bicycles, running from morning to night, with almost no rest time in between. Movie copies are very heavy, and if you have a problem with your bicycle, you have to carry the copy box and run to the cinema.

After the release of "Hoe Rape", it not only triggered a movie-watching boom, but also caused a huge sensation in the film industry and academic circles. "Hoe Rape" is a type of movie, which is collectively known as a thriller in China. This type of film is loved by the audience, but it has always been the object of contempt in the academic community, regarded as an inferior product in film, and even regarded as "unproductive" and "degenerate" in film creation. Film studios also treat thrillers as "training films" and let new directors shoot them, such as Li Shaohong's first film "Silver Snake Murder", and new directors will immediately turn to other genres after filming thrillers.

"Hoe Rape" is different from the relatively rough thrillers in the past, the film is very well-made, and the artistic standard is extremely high, there are a lot of innovations in the audiovisual language of the film, there are many very breakthrough things, and many people are stupid after watching it.

Zhong Xianfei has always admired Xu Wangqiu very much, and he also admires "Hoe Rape" very much. After the release of "Hoe Rape", he published an article for the first time, singing praises for the movie: ""Hoe Rape" can be said to be a milestone in Chinese films, and it is an unprecedented breakthrough. The film is a thriller, artistically, with its captivating hand-held cinematography and moving shots, and ideologically, it celebrates the fearless sacrifice of revolutionaries, so it is a great success. Comrade Xu Wangqiu once wrote an article "The Sinicization of Modern Film Language", and through "Hoe Rape", we will find that he really did it. ”

Modu critic Zhang Junxiang published an article in "Wen Wei Po" and sang praises for "Hoe Rape": "Hoe Rape has made an unprecedented breakthrough in film language. In the past, most of our cinematic shots were still and the audience watched everything from afar, but the camera of "The Rape" is always in motion and has a lot of subjective shots. Through his lens, the director really brings the audience into the film, and truly feels the struggle and sacrifice of the revolutionaries. This is a major breakthrough for Chinese cinema. ”

Dai Jinhua, as a supporter of Xu Wangqiu and "The Rape", wrote the first film review of her life: "A significant feature of "The Rape" in art is that she dares to write about people's emotions and emotions with people. For a long time in the past, love could not appear on our screens on the screen, and the underground party or fighters could not mention love, as if it was corrupt and degenerate, and betrayed the revolution, as if the underground party members were iron warriors. "Hoe Rape" did a good job and did not make a big deal of it, but it became the most moving passage of the whole movie, and it also made the underground party change from King Kong to a living person. ”

Newspaper and magazine reviews are one after another, some of which are long and analyze from different angles, some are superficial and simply describe their inner feelings, some are from the perspective of audiovisual language, some are analyzed from the structure of the film, and some are analyzed from the actors' performances, which can be described as rave reviews.

However, there are also many voices that belittle "The Rape", and how can those in the academic community who insist that they should learn from Europe tolerate a movie scene that learns from Hollywood, they must be desperately suppressed. Especially those experts who were disgraced by Xu Wangqiu at the Nortel symposium, how could they let go of the opportunity to criticize Xu Wangqiu.

Chen Li immediately published an article after the release of "Hoe Rape", fiercely criticizing "Hoe Rape": "The plot of the movie "Hoe Rape" is not only purely made up, not to mention any educational significance, at the same time, the war scenes are also excessively pursuing sensory stimulation and have no sense of beauty. The film's creators are mainly interested in creating a terrifying atmosphere and stimulating the audience's senses. For example, a bullet that punched a bloody hole in the eye and a ball of blood in the back of the head is a striking proof of this. If we are opposed to violence and pornography in Western films, why do we make films like "The Rape" for the purpose of creating horror and gore, and what impact does this have on our audiences, especially our teenagers?"

Li Tuo labeled "Hoe Rape" as blindly learning Hollywood: "Film is a new art variety developed from abroad, and we need to learn from excellent foreign films, but we can't blindly learn from foreign countries." "Hoe Rape" has an obvious problem of showing off skills, and skills for the sake of skills make people feel flashy and pretentious. This reflects the formalist tendency of some young directors to ignore the content of the film in their creation, detach themselves from the reality of life to imitate the expression techniques in foreign films, and simply pursue skills. If this situation is not noticed, it will lead our exploration and innovation to the wrong path. ”

It's just that no matter whether it is judged by critics or praised by critics, the impact on the general audience is limited. What can really bring the audience into the movie is the opinion of the people around them, that is, the word-of-mouth of ordinary audiences, and the reputation of "Hoe Rape" among the audience is very popular. Many viewers walked into the cinema again and again, and took the trouble to recommend this movie to those around them.

In the second week of the movie's release, "The Rape" achieved a score of 15.43 million, in the third week of the movie's release, "The Hoe Rape" achieved an astonishing 17.69 million, and in the fourth week of the movie's release, "The Hoe Rape" increased the number of moviegoers to an astonishing number of 20.31 million. Within a month of the film's release, the number of viewers of the 35mm copy exceeded 65 million.

In less than a month, the number of viewers of "Hoe Rape" exceeded 65 million. Wang Lanxi only felt his head buzzing after hearing the data collection from Ding Jianming, this result is higher than "Mom Loves Me Again", and it has refreshed the record of 61.32 million created by "Mom Loves Me Once" not long ago, which is incredible. Wang Lanxi couldn't believe it: "You didn't add it wrong, right? How can the number of "Hoe Rape" be so high? How can it be higher than "Mom Loves Me Once"?"

Ding Jianming smiled: "It won't be wrong, we have checked it several times." ”

Wang Lanxi still couldn't believe it: "But "Hoe Rape" is a war movie, female audiences don't like to watch it, right?"

Ding Jianming said with a smile: "Female audiences like to watch it, there is love in the movie, domestic movies have not depicted love for many years, and the actors in it are all handsome guys, and the enthusiasm of female audiences to watch "Hoe Rape" is no worse than that of male audiences." ”

Wang Lanxi couldn't help but sigh: "In the first two months, "Mom Loves Me Again" dominated the screen, and now "Hoe Rape" dominates the screen, Su Zhensheng and Xu Wangqiu are really powerful as the master and apprentice!"

Ding Jianming said narrowly: "They are not only masters and apprentices, Xu Wangqiu is also in love with Su Zhensheng's youngest daughter." ”

Wang Lanxi laughed loudly when he heard this: "The son-in-law has robbed his father-in-law of the limelight, if the father-in-law is unhappy, I am afraid that this family affair will be blown!"
