In the eyes of many people, the original "Resident Evil" is just a second-rate science fiction film that is a thriller in the guise of biochemistry.

Of course, Hollywood's second-rate movies, put in China, may not be worse than those first-class movies in China.

Especially the genre of science fiction.

Jiang Bin's version is obviously different from the original.

Whether it is the action scenes or the visual effects, they are much stronger than the original.

This is estimated to have a lot to do with the cost of filming and production. What's more, action scenes are what Chinese filmmakers are best at.

In addition, the special effects technology is also much stronger than the original.

What's more, the original version of the film is now in Hollywood, it may be difficult to say, but in China, it is definitely a rare work of conscience.

And this film is still improved compared to the original version, so the reputation of the film should be extremely good.

"Is it arranged?"

Zhang Pu asked Jiang Xingwen.

"It's arranged. Jiang Xingwen said, "That film has a high film schedule, but the attendance rate seems to be not as good as "Resident Evil". ”

"What arrangement?" Jiang Yun asked with a smile.

Jiang Yun naturally has a judgment on how this film is, not to mention that even if he can't judge, it can be seen from the reactions of everyone in the theater.

My son's movie should have been a success.

"Look at the quality of the competitors. Jiang Xingwen said.

"Are you going to contribute to the box office of "The Brave"?" Zhang Chu said with a smile.

"Resident Evil" is Guo Yunxi's leading film, and when this film premiered, Zhang Chu naturally wanted to cheer.

"Let's go together!" Jiang Yun said with a smile, "I'll also go and see if this film is as good as they blew it?"

If it weren't for his son's film being released at the same time, he might not have had this interest.

"You shouldn't be free, right?" Zhang Pu looked at Guo Yunxi, who was surrounded by media reporters not far away, and said to Zhang Chu with a smile.

"I'm not going. Zhang Chu said.

He had to go and stand up for his wife.

The theater where "Resident Evil" premiered is owned by Oriental DreamWorks, and it is naturally easy for Zhang Pu and others to watch "The Brave".

"Watching two movies in a row, there shouldn't be many fans like this, right?" Xu Jiahui said with a smile.

She likes to watch movies because of Zhang Pu, but she has not yet reached the level of obsession.

Of course, that's what she said.

Zhang Pu had already told her about this before. She didn't have a problem with that.

"Not necessarily. There are many people who watch a movie twice in a row, let alone watch two different movies in a row. Wang Bo said with a smile.

In addition to Jiang Yun, Wang Bo and Chen Fei'er also followed. The two of them don't watch movies together much now, so they can also enjoy the romance of watching movies as a couple.

"The attendance of the film seems to be pretty good. Chen Fei'er glanced around and said.

It's just good.

What's more, "Resident Evil" held its premiere here, and the attendance rate was naturally worse than that of "Resident Evil".

The film begins quickly.

The publicity of "The Brave" is very strong, with an investment of 500 million or 600 million, which is definitely a blockbuster in China. Even in Hollywood, it's a mid-to-high investment.

The investment is so high, and it is filmed and produced by a Hollywood film team, and the Chinese actors who participate in it are also very appealing at the box office.

On the whole, it is not surprising that this film is more favored by the market than "Resident Evil".

However, not long after the film started, Zhang Pu couldn't help but laugh.

It's not how funny the film is, it's ...... It's embarrassing.

The scene is big enough, whether it is an action scene or a special effects scene.

Special effects blockbuster, this film deserves it.

But what about special effects?

The plot in it is a little powerless to complain.

A cowardly Western teenager travels to ancient China, meets a fugitive princess, and then learns kung fu and becomes brave under the guidance of the princess guard general.

Of course, becoming brave is not because you learned kung fu, but because of love.

Then this once cowardly young man followed the princess back to the imperial city, defeated the concubine who poisoned the queen, confused the king, and gradually grasped the power, wanting to usurp the throne.

Well, the queen who was poisoned was the princess's mother.

In addition, I have to say that the concubine will still be very powerful as the villain, she is a great wizard and knows witchcraft.

Very awesome witchcraft.

Don't ask why the concubine who knows witchcraft chose to poison the queen and was discovered by the princess.

Hell knows!

There are too many such questions that you can only grasp them yourself.

However, in the end, the witchcraft that is very powerful and can attack from a distance can only do hand-to-hand combat.

The concubine, the great wizard, was stabbed to death by the once cowardly young man.

From this point of view, the concubine's choice to poison the queen does not seem to be so incomprehensible or so difficult to accept.

This setting can only be said in one sentence: Awesome my brother!

The action design scene is very big, but I really can't complain!

Maybe Westerners like it, or are used to fist-to-flesh fighting.

Therefore, the action scenes in it, even if the scene is big, are all fist-to-flesh scuffles.

Needless to say, the action design of this film is by no means compelling to the action team of China.

You want to use Chinese kung fu to defeat witchcraft, how about you make kung fu like the kind in "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", hand-to-hand combat, fists to the flesh, what the hell?

It feels like a child's play.

Anticlimactic!

The plot is worth complaining about a lot, and the costume design, props, etc. in it all reveal a strong sense of copycat.

As for why it is said to be a special effects blockbuster.

You have to admit that the buildings inside are very grand, and the special effects are very realistic.

It's just that the buildings have a strong flavor of Western castles.

"What do you say about this film?"

At the end of the film, Jiang Xingwen seemed to want something, but he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Yun shook his head.

What the is this!

Nondescript.

Is this story set in ancient China?

He regretted it a little and came to see it.

"I was embarrassed to see that cancer was committed. Wang Bo said unceremoniously, "I don't know how the foreign box office is, but the domestic box office should be worried." ”

"I think it's okay. Xu Jiahui saw Zhang Pu looking at her, and then said with a smile.

He really doesn't think this film is that bad.

"You see, there are people who like any kind of movie. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"I don't like it, I just don't like it. Xu Jiahui explained.

She couldn't hear it anywhere, Zhang Pu was saying that she was a person who likes to watch bad movies.

If she is still like this, there are naturally many fans among them.

There is no shortage of audiences for bad movies.

"This script should not be from the hands of domestic screenwriters. Wang Bo said, "It reveals a strong Western flavor." Except that the actor is an oriental face, I really can't see anything to do with Huaxia. ”

The oriental faces in it are not only Chinese actors, but also Korean and Japanese actors.

This is probably considering the box office in Japan and South Korea.

"That's a good thing for us. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

When Jiang Yun heard this, the previous depression instantly dissipated.

The worse this film is, doesn't it bring out his son's "Resident Evil"?

One goes and the other goes up!

"Zombies are Western things, and "Resident Evil" actually reveals the style of Western movies, and there is no sense of disobedience when the actors in it are replaced by Western actors. A proper Hollywood-style film. Wang Bo then said, "And "The Brave", in fact, it is the same, replacing the actors with Eastern faces in the film with Western actors may not be so embarrassing. Why doesn't the former feel awkward?"

"Maybe the story of "The Brave" is set in ancient times. Jiang Xingwen said, "The difference between the East and the West in modern times is not as big as in ancient times. ”

Is that really the case?

Perhaps this is just one of the reasons.

The screenwriter has to take the blame for the failure of this film, and the director's responsibility may be greater.

The director is undoubtedly crucial to a film.

"Let's go back!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "There are a lot of movies that are not good." ”

"Let's go back and have supper!" Wang Bo said.

The reputation of "The Brave" is definitely not as good as "Resident Evil".

But if the reputation is poor, the box office must be bad?

The next day, the box office came out on the first day.

"The Brave" topped the domestic box office with a single-day box office of 280 million.

"Resident Evil" followed closely behind, with 270 million, a difference of only a few million.

"This is really what you said!" Jiang Xingwen said with some surprise, "This film has such a bad reputation, and it has won such a high single-day box office." ”

"It's the first-day box office!" Zhang Pu said, "It's just a one-day trip to the single-day box office champion." The reputation of "The Brave" is not bad, but it has collapsed a little. ”

A film's poor professional rating does not mean that the reputation is poor.

Zhang Pu's "Transformers" has a low professional score, only a little over seven points, but fans like it, and the score given is more than nine points. It is also the movie with the largest score difference among Zhang Pu's many films.

"The Brave" is different, the professional rating is poor, and the fan score is not much better.

Such a film is no longer a bad reputation, but a bit collapsed.

The film's reputation collapsed, and if you want to be popular or not, it's almost impossible.

"You're saying that the box office drop for 'The Brave' the next day will be huge. Jiang Xingwen said, "If this is the case, I am afraid that the face of Light and Shadow Entertainment will be a little good-looking." As soon as the box office came out on the first day, it jumped very hard! It was almost a banner that shattered the box office myth of Zhang Pu's screenwriting film. ”

Regarding Zhang Pu's speculation, Jiang Xingwen still agrees.

The film written by Zhang Pu really seems like a myth in China. Of course, the films he directed are also a box office myth.

"Don't you tell me that this film was released on Christmas and New Year's Day just to break the box office myth of my screenwriter's film?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

During the Spring Festival, his "Kung Fu Panda" was still being attacked, in order to break the box office myth of the film he directed.

Tsk, this is a decreasing rhythm, and the screenwriter and director can't let go!
