Chapter 174: It's been a long time since we've watched a movie together

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival stall fight instantly entered the white-hot stage.

On the Golden Dragon Movie Network, Mu Chen's "Infernal Affairs" became the highest-rated movie released during the Spring Festival with an astonishing score of 9.5 points.

It was followed by Cheng Jie's "Special Mission", which ranked second with 8.7 points.

"Crazy All the Way" ranked third with 8.3 points.

And "Monster Hunter" is only 8.1 points, almost falling below eight points.

And this film is also the lowest-rated film among the many films directed by Zhang Gang.

However, the score does not determine the box office.

has a good reputation, but fans may not like it.

There are more films that are not popular. It is not uncommon for films to be well-received.

"Infernal Affairs" aside, Cheng Jie's "Special Mission" has an excellent reputation, but the style has changed, and the literary drama in it overwhelms the fighting scene, which is undoubtedly the only one in Cheng Jie's movies so far.

Cheng Jie showed his acting skills as an emperor in the movie.

It's a pity that although the reputation is good, fans don't buy it much.

Cheng Jie's most appealing thing is his movements, not his acting skills.

There are not many fighting scenes in it, and it is not as exciting as imagined, although Cheng Jie is getting older, and his films are gradually reducing action scenes, which is completely understandable.

What is understandable does not necessarily mean that it is supported.

"Monster Hunter" has a poor reputation, but it is not without highlights.

The special effects in it are undoubtedly the best in Chinese movies.

At least, there is no Chinese film today that can match the special performance.

The storyline of this show may be a little thinner and the characters are simpler, but the special effects of this movie are undoubtedly excellent, and the visuals are extremely shocking.

As for "All the Way Crazy", the story is not complicated, or even very simple, but there are a lot of laughs in it.

It's a laugh-inducing film.

And this kind of film is undoubtedly the most popular in the Spring Festival, a family carnival.

However, in terms of influence, Infernal Affairs is undoubtedly the greatest.

And according to media reports, this film is undoubtedly the most among several films.

Even, almost all the media in Hong Kong reported on this film.

Among them, most of them are praise.

""Infernal Affairs" has made a breakthrough in the performance of police and gangster films, and the profound meaning breaks the conventions of commercial films in Hong Kong, which can be called a classic!"

"The appeal of Infernal Affairs comes from the brilliant plot design and the mastery of the narrative rhythm. ”

These reports have been analyzed in great detail.

In the past, Xiangjiang police films often deliberately showed violent scenes, and used bloody scenes with visual impact such as car chases, fierce fights, and hot shootouts to satisfy the audience's sensory enjoyment to the greatest extent.

The tone of the whole film of "Infernal Affairs" is mainly black, the characters have ritualized shapes, and the eyes are slightly cold, giving people a strong sense of formal beauty.

In terms of plot performance, the film's climactic passages such as chase and death do not have contrived thrilling moments, but use slow motion and religious music to soften the brutal expression.

The whole film abandons the bloody fight and gun battle scenes in the big scenes, and even the tense scenes of the police and bandits are not the core that attracts the audience the most.

On the contrary, the tragic clash of character identities and the resulting psychological play are the main selling points that take the audience's breath away.

The film is based on the fate of two undercover agents, one black and one white, and the battle between the police and the underworld is full of tension, and the rhythm is progressing step by step, interlocking, and climaxing. There is no room for respite.

On a deeper level, "Infernal Affairs" breaks through the traditional theme of Xiangjiang police films.

"Infernal Affairs" uses an undercover story to express the inner experience of "eternal life cannot be free from the suffering of hell and reincarnation".

The film expresses the deep experience of their abstract subjectivity like "Infernal Hell" through the painful feelings of the characters played by Liu Guohua and Gu Daohui who cannot determine their own situation in the undercover experience.

......

The topicality of "Infernal Affairs" is undoubtedly amazing.

Both film critics and general fans have given high praise to this film.

related film reviews, which is also the most among the four films.

The media unanimously praised "Infernal Affairs", and in their opinion, this film is no less than a milestone for Hong Kong Films.

As for whether it can reverse the increasingly sluggish market of Hong Kong films, it will take time to test.

Of course, the acting skills of actors such as Liu Guohua in the movie are also highly praised.

However, the most praised is undoubtedly Mu Chen, the screenwriter and director.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office statistics on the first day came out.

"Monster Hunter" won the single-day box office championship with 160 million.

"Crazy All the Way" followed closely behind, winning 130 million at the box office.

"Infernal Affairs" ranked third with a gap of several million.

and "Special Mission", which ranked fourth, also won more than 110 million first-day box office.

The box office of the four films exceeded 100 million in a single day.

This is also quite rare in the Spring Festival stalls.

However, the fifth-ranked film is only more than 20 million.

If you change to other schedules, it is possible to rank in the top three. It's a pity that on the first day of the Spring Festival, the box office is only a fraction of the top three films on the box office list.

This is the Spring Festival file, the most tragic period, and it is also the highest single-day box office period.

The box office on the first day did not give people too many surprises, and it was difficult to see who won and who lost.

This box office data undoubtedly has a lot to do with the film's schedule.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the box office statistics on the second day came out, and "Monster Hunter" still won the single-day box office champion, but the box office decline was relatively serious, only 140 million.

and "Infernal Affairs" counterattacked "Crazy All the Way", ranking second with a box office of 130 million.

"Crazy All the Way" came in third with a narrow margin of millions.

The box office of this film also declined on the second day of its release, but it was not as serious as "Monster Hunter".

"Special Mission" is still fourth, and the single-day box office almost broke the 100 million mark.

Of the four films, only "Infernal Affairs" has increased at the box office.

This is undoubtedly very impressive.

This is undoubtedly related to the momentum after last month, as well as word of mouth.

Because of this, when the theater chain adjusted the film schedule, the film schedule of "Infernal Affairs" increased.

This also gives "Infernal Affairs" the possibility of competing for the single-day box office title.

However, Mu Chen didn't pay attention to these.

He was on his way to the airport to pick up Li Ruoxi at this time.

"You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Li Ruoxi recognized Mu Chen at a glance, even though Mu Chen was wearing a mask.

"Yes, do you want to make it up to me?" Mu Chen smiled and said.

Li Ruoxi directly smiled and rolled her eyes.

It had nothing to do with her, it wasn't her fault that the plane was late.

However, it seems normal for the plane to be late.

Mu Chen didn't pick up Li Ruoxi's luggage, but directly hugged her into his arms.

"Okay, be careful to be recognized. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Although he also wanted to stay in Mu Chenhuai for a while, he was also afraid of being recognized by the people around him.

With her and Mu Chen's current popularity, once they are recognized, they will inevitably be in trouble.

After all, neither she nor Mu Chen had bodyguards and assistants by their side at this time.

"Let's go!" Mu Chen smiled, and then took Li Ruoxi's luggage and walked out.

For Li Ruoxi's arrival, Mu Chen's parents and grandparents were naturally very happy.

However, there are also people who are not so "happy".

As soon as Li Ruoxi came, Mu Chen's grandmother and mother couldn't help but whisper in Mu Ze's ear again.

What else can Mu Ze do, he can only smile bitterly.

"I think you should take Ruoxi to see a movie. Mu Ze said to Mu Chen, "I'm afraid you haven't watched a movie together for a long time, right?"

"Yo, the straight man of steel also understands this?" Mu Chen said with some surprise.

"Not to mention the straight man of steel, we are still brothers. Mu Ze's face was not good.

Mu Chen smiled and didn't mention it again.

Today's Mu Ze has a shadow in his heart about these four words. If he continues, I'm afraid that my brother can't help but beat people.

"Do you want to go together?" Mu Chen asked Mu Ze with a smile and said, "It's okay to stay at home." ”

"Don't go!" Mu Ze said angrily.

I can't stand you showing affection in front of me, so I beat you to the movies.

Do I think I'm not bright enough, or do I like to be sadistic?

Mu Ze couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Have you ever considered the feelings of my single dog?

Mu Chen didn't force it, booked a ticket, and watched the time to go to the theater.

Watching Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi drive away, Mu Ze felt a sense of loneliness hit his heart for some reason.

"Which movie to watch?" Mu Chen asked Li Ruoxi.

"Which one do you want to watch?" Li Ruoxi said with a smile, "You decide." ”

Mu Chen looked at Li Ruoxi.

"Your "Infernal Affairs", I accompanied my parents to watch it on the first day of junior high school. Li Ruoxi said with a smile.

Mu Chen understands Li Ruoxi.

Li Ruoxi also understands Mu Chen.

Mu Chen knew that Li Ruoxi would definitely want to watch "Infernal Affairs" because of him, and Li Ruoxi also knew that Mu Chen had watched "Infernal Affairs" countless times and didn't want to watch it again.

Both care about each other's feelings.

"How about "Demon Hunter"?" Mu Chen no longer hesitated when he heard this, and then said.

Comedy and visual blockbusters are undoubtedly very marketable in China.

"Monster Hunter" doesn't have a good reputation, but there are many fans who like it.

Otherwise, it would not have won the single-day box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls for two consecutive days.

As for whether it can continue to win, it is unknown.

"Okay!" Li Ruoxi smiled and nodded.

The Spring Festival file, like the National Day file, is a schedule without Hollywood films.

There are no Hollywood films, but the competition is fierce.

The schedule of "Monster Hunter" has dropped slightly, but the attendance rate is still extremely high.

Mu Chen bought tickets in advance, and the seats were a little off.

The story of "Monster Hunter" is indeed simple.

In fact, the story of many visual blockbusters is not complicated.

This is a world of shemales opposites, and the character settings are remarkable. The footage of the film is beautiful, the fight scenes are exciting, and the visual effects are indeed the best in Chinese movies today.

However, the emotional entanglement between the demon hunter played by the male protagonist Huang Cheng and the fox demon played by Fan Sisi is a little bloody.

doesn't blow it up, it's not black, this film is actually very good.

Mu Chen faintly feels that this movie is mainly aimed at foreign markets.
