Chapter 1206 Mediocrity

The full picture of "Mythology" is unfolded, which is very surprising.

No one expected that the movie would tell a story about dreaming of the past.

Can this also be considered a myth?

Many people don't understand why this story is called a myth.

Originally, when Jiang Xia was watching "Mythology", he didn't understand why this story was called a myth, and it obviously had nothing to do with mythology.

Later, Jiang Xia understood that the reason why this story is called a myth is not because of the story itself, but because of the theme.

The theme of "Mythology" is clear in both songs.

The lyrics of "The Vicissitudes of Eternity, Only Love is the Myth of Eternity" and "Love is the Only Unchanging Beauty Myth in the Heart" clearly show the theme of "Myth".

Dreaming back to the past is not a myth, immortality is not a myth, only love is a myth.

It's just that no one has realized this yet, and Jiang Xia suddenly realized that the theme of the entire "Myth" is "love" when he listened to the song later.

It is not the pursuit of the truth of the previous life, nor the pursuit of the truth of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, the theme is "love".

Yushu waited for Meng Yi's thousand-year-old love.

It's just that the whole theme, hidden in a decent story, is very unremarkable.

There are many places worth watching in "Mythology", and the war scenes and the underground palace of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang that Jiangxia focuses on definitely attracting most of the eyeballs.

The few remaining attentions are probably also on the two exotic beauties, who will pay attention to the theme of the whole "Mythology"?

In fact, not long after the film was released, various film reviews had already come out.

As the world's most well-known director and world-class superstar, Jiang Xia's "Myth" is not only commented on by domestic people.

Many countries, including Mi Guo, have commented on Jiangxia's commercial film.

On a scale of 10 out of 10, most critics gave the film a 7, and as for the reasons, most of the critics left reasons in their reviews.

Domestic film critic "Lin Qing is ten pounds lighter" - "The Myth of Mediocre"

Before the release of "Myth", many people were looking forward to Jiangxia's commercial blockbuster as much as I did.

Jiang Xia, who had lived in a foreign country for many years, returned to China and made two films successively, both of which were more artistic than commercial. "The Grandmaster" and "Gravity" are not bad for commerciality, but they are more artistic, at that time everyone said that Jiangxia changed his style and began to make some award-winning movies, and then he immediately announced the start of filming of the commercial film "Myth".

Anyone who has watched the trailer of "Mythology" probably has the same expectation as me, looking forward to a slaughtering ancient military battle scene.

People with this kind of expectation, when they entered the cinema, they were all stunned by Jiang Xia, it turned out that all the costume dramas were just memories of the past life, and the main scenes were modern dramas.

It's acceptable, it's unacceptable, it's unacceptable, the kind of mediocrity that the whole movie embodies.

Jiangxia, who seems to have become synonymous with classics, came up with a very mediocre commercial film at this time, which has to be said to be disappointing.

Except that Princess Yushu did not die here, people saw a trace of new accidents, and the overall movie did not see any sincerity.

The war scene is full of sincerity, but in this sincere war scene, the most brilliant thing is not the person, but the horse, all the thousands of actors who add up, were robbed of the limelight by a horse, who should be blamed?

Jiang Xia himself is a world-class superstar, but in the movie, he did not show his demeanor as a world-class superstar, and behaved like an ordinary action actor, as if he was just here to contribute his action scenes.

In modern action scenes, the fighting style is quite innovative, but it is only a little new, and the overall effect is very average.

After so much criticism, I still have to give the movie a score of 7.

These 7 points are given to Jiang Xia's directing skills, the editing of the whole movie is very smooth, for the narrative, it is completely relied on the smooth editing to show it calmly and not blandly, this skill is definitely worth 5 points.

The other 2 points, I gave the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Underground Palace, I believe that the audience should be as shocked by the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang constructed by Jiangxia as I am, as if the place he went to was the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

So far, I haven't found the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, maybe it is really as beautiful as Jiangxia shows, like a fairyland?

Just for the sake of Jiangxia's copy of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it is also worth these two points.

Film critic "Thomas Elysée" - "Jiang's Attempt"

Jiang's movie "Mythology" had just been released, and I went to see it in the spirit of appreciating a good movie.

"Myth" is a barely qualified commercial film, which is obviously different from the commercial films shot by Jiang in the past, in this commercial film, Jiang does not show anything superhuman about him.

Jiang, as we all know, is an excellent screenwriter, an excellent director, and an excellent actor. In any one aspect, Jiang is world-class, and there are few people on the entire planet who can match him. is such an excellent Jiang, but in the "Myth" movie, he did not show anything extraordinary.

In terms of screenwriting, the script of "Myth" is very ordinary, and we have seen too many things dreaming back to the past, which can't make us too touched.

In terms of directing, Jiang just did what he should have done, what he should have been able to do.

In terms of actors, Jiang's performance is much lower than his previous performance in "The Grandmaster", and in "Mythology", he is obviously performing in a relaxed state, which is worthy of criticism.

Jiang is the soul of his films, and when he is not in the state, the quality of the whole movie can be imagined.

In the movie, Jiang tells a story of treasure hunting, interspersed with a love that has passed through thousands of years, but it is obvious that he did not tell both stories very well, and can only be said to be ordinary.

The highlight of all the films is Jiang's kung fu scenes.

In "Mythology", Jiang seems to be trying something new, and he shows two completely different styles of kung fu in the film, one is decisive battlefield kung fu, and the other is modern funny kung fu.

Jiang is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time, I don't think he will make a movie at random, he definitely has his purpose, but his purpose is very hidden and we may not be able to find out.

Personally, I think that the funny kung fu shown by Jiang in "Myth" may be the purpose he wants to show in "Myth".

This kind of attempt of his, which he did not dare to do in other movies, put it in such a mediocre movie in all aspects, and tried it.

The whole movie can barely get a passing score, plus what I think Jiang's attempt, and then 1 point up, a total of 7 points, should be more objective.

Movies aren't worth savoring, just watch them as popcorn movies.

……

In addition to domestic and foreign filmmakers who seriously evaluate movies, there is also a group of wonderful, and this group of wonders collectively came out of the country of sticks.

Film critic "Kim Ji-huai" - "The Great Myth"

Jiangxia is invincible! Jiangxia is invincible!

Mythical Invincible! Mythical Invincible!

Choi Jae-min is invincible! Choi Jae-min is invincible!

……

That's right, this is the film review of some stick film critic.

When this film review was issued, all the film critics covered their faces, the sticks are always capable of doing some strange things, and the whole world respects this country and respects their efforts in all aspects to be funny.

In Jiangxia in North America, I saw all aspects of "Myth" for the first time.

Regarding the low rating of "Myth", Jiang Xia pouted.

Film critics also gave "Myth" a score of 7, which is considered a high score.

Some ordinary viewers gave "Myth" the lowest four points after watching it, which shows how disappointed they are with this movie.

The most interesting thing is that nine out of ten of the people who scored low were Chinese audiences.

Foreign audiences are more receptive to the whole movie, and they have discussed a lot about the Qin Emperor's underground palace, and they have begun to look for information about the pre-Qin Dynasty, to see what the legendary Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang looks like, and whether it is really as beautiful as the fairy palace in the movie.

The reason why Chinese audiences have a low acceptance of movies is that Jiang Xia also understands that it is nothing more than that they know too much about that period of history and understand Chinese etiquette better.

In the movie, Meng Yi's etiquette to Princess Yushu, the concubine, is not the Great Qin etiquette, but a fusion of the Confucian etiquette that was common in later generations, which is very nondescript.

In "Mythology", Jiang Xia has changed a lot of things, but some things are really difficult to change, so they can only be placed there.

If you understand, you can see the bug, and you will be given a low score.

Audiences in Europe and North America, ordinary audiences give the movie a lot of scores, basically around seven points, and they are still happy to watch ancient Chinese movies and learn more about the glory of ancient China.

The place with the highest score for "Myth" in the world, you don't have to guess that everyone knows that it is the country of sticks.

With an average score of 9.5, it was the stick that gave "Myth" a score that shocked the world.

More than half of the sticks gave it a 10!

That's a perfect score!

Not to mention the others, Jiang Xia saw this score, and they were all covering their faces there, he really wanted to drag out those who scored them, and asked them one by one, can you have a little discipline?

The rating of the "Myth" movie is low enough, but Jiang Xia is praised.

Seeing that many foreigners were checking the information of the Qin Emperor's underground palace, and many people went to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to see the terracotta warriors and horses, Jiang Xia was praised by the high-level, saying that he had completed this political task well and should make persistent efforts.

Jiang Xia accepted the praise dryly, threw away the phone and continued to work on his editing.

Unlike the "Myth" movie, the two songs "Beautiful Myth" are very popular.

Jiangxia and Gongshan's version is unabated, and the other version is also very marketable.

The two songs sung in different vocal ranges, Jiang Xia's singing skills were once again praised by countless people.

At the same time, the lyrics of the two songs were also complained that they were a bit vulgar, and they didn't have Jiang Xia's original skills.

Many people sighed, don't ask for so much, after all, Jiangxia is also a person in his sixties, how can he be as productive as when he was in the prime of life?

Some people also sighed, Jiangxia is Jiangxia, as soon as the movie comes out, who will compete?

The whole world revolves around his films, looking at the whole world, looking at the entire film history, and it is only Jiangxia that has such a strong dominance and influence.
