The much-anticipated "The Sun Also Rises" did not pose any threat to "Happy Death Day", 4.5 million is his first week result, and the fraction of "Happy Death Day" is more than it!

Movie fans all over the world are the same, and the movie you make dares to make us unhappy, OK! We will make your box office unhappy! Therefore, the box office of "The Sun Also Rises" only got 16 million yuan in the mainland, how much does it cost? 10 million, note that it is US dollars! It can be said that it is a loss of money. Our director Jiang Da was also silent for 3 years before he re-proved himself after "Let the Bullets Fly".

Jiang Wen is a very charismatic and talented person, this is an indisputable thing. Take a look at his "Sunny Day" and "The Devil is Coming", as well as Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun". (I prefer that "Looking for a Gun" is Jiang Wen's work, because Lu Chuan's later works are quite mediocre, and I don't mean one part, but all of them - including "Ke Ke Xili" and "Nanjing Nanjing.") But unlike other forms of artistic expression, the cost of film is relatively high, which requires film directors to restrain their own ideas and compromise appropriately with the market.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is indeed a success, but what about the next "One Step Away"? Jiang Wen did not restrain himself and unleashed his talent to the fullest, which resulted in an imbalance in the rhythm of the movie, and the story was told by him in a mess, and the box office was naturally not much better. Why did "Let the Bullets Fly" succeed at the box office, because Jiang Wen experienced the fiasco of "The Sun Also Rises", so he treated "Let the Bullets Fly" cautiously and quite restrainedly, and he still felt that he had earned money while standing!

It's not a shame to bow to the market, the real estate businessman played by Zhao Chunyang in "Twelve Citizens" has a particularly good saying: "Bowing to the truth is a happy thing!" It's just that many directors in our country don't understand this truth, and this sentence is given to a director surnamed Wang and a director surnamed Jiang. (Director Jiang's new play "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" is scheduled to be released in the summer of 18, this is his latest work after four years, I hope Director Jiang will restrain his desire to express himself and tell the story of this movie well.) It doesn't need much, it only needs to be half the level of "Let the Bullets Fly", and the box office will definitely not be low!)

Li Xiang's pursuit plan could not be implemented for the time being, and when the young lady returned to the capital, she was pulled away by Rongxingda for the commercial performance. In 07, smartphones have not yet become popular, and there is no way to talk about Weibo or anything, Li Xiang, who has nothing to do, simply go to Douban and look at the film reviews of his movies to relieve his boredom.

The ratings are decent - 7.2 points, mostly 4 and 3 stars. The first film review is my old acquaintance, Mi Yujun. This big brother is obviously a fan of Li Xiang, and the film review also maintains the characteristics of absolute subjectivity and no neutrality:

I met Director Li Xiang, or through the popular "Hurricane Rescue" during the Spring Festival, after watching it, I was shocked, our country also has directors who can make such a mature type of film? Later, I saw Director Li's information, he graduated from USC at the age of 20, and he also interned in several crews during this period, no wonder, it turns out that geniuses really exist, and low IQ limits my imagination.

So as soon as I heard that Director Li's new movie was released, I, Director Li's brain-dead fan, had to watch it as soon as possible. I have to say that the movie is quite exciting. made me sigh again that Director Li's talent can actually control different types of commercial films. "Happy Death Day" combines various elements such as horror, comedy, fantasy, thriller, etc., but the proportions are just right. When I watched it in the theater, I could often hear screams or laughter around me, and I could tell that everyone was enjoying the movie.

In addition, I want to talk about the actors in the film, the only ones I know are the heroes and heroines - Yang Mi and Ma Tianyu. Yang Mi left a deep impression on me through the little Dongxie in "The Condor Heroes" and Director Li's "Hurricane Rescue". This young actress is full of aura, and in "Happy Death Day", the heroine Xiao Cuier is quite well interpreted from being full of to restoring kindness. The most commendable thing is that the heroine set by Director Li does not have the usual brain-dead heroine in horror films, Xiao Cuier is thoughtful and her IQ is online throughout the whole process.

And before Ma Tianyu acted in this movie, my only impression of him was that he was a good boy and a popular player, but I didn't expect that under Director Li's training, he also played the role of this warm man very well. In addition, the other actors in the movie are also very outstanding, the gay man who pretends to be a straight man, the boy who was killed by the killer, and the two girls who play the heroine's best friend and roommate, are all quite outstanding.

To sum up, watching this movie is like drinking Coke, you raise your neck after exercising and drink it all in one go, and then you will feel very energetic with an exaggerated burp, no matter what logical loopholes he has, it's cool and it's over.

PS: There's also a little easter egg, I don't know if you found it, but I noticed: the opening logos of Optical Fiber and Flying appear three times each, suggesting that this is a time loop movie, at first I thought it was a stuck frame, Director Li is really a little naughty!

Another old acquaintance, Braised Pork Jun, did not write a long movie review, but just commented, but because it was very exciting, it was also ranked first among the hottest comments by netizens:

Unexpectedly good-looking, thriller, horror, comedy, romance, suspense, family elements are all stewed in one pot, it is actually well balanced, the rhythm is good, and the picture is also very good. In terms of enjoyment, five stars is not too much! The popularity is also beyond my imagination, the show is full at 8 o'clock on Friday, and there are still people applauding after the end. Director Li is great!

Looking at the praise, Li Xiang's vanity was greatly satisfied. The troublemaker has appeared out of place - Jason's phone call!

"Li Xiang, I'm so miserable! The box office potential of "Double Treasure Fighting Demons" has been squeezed out, and it only got a box office of 20 million!" Jason's duck voice came from the phone.

"Can you have a face? 100,000 investment, 20 million box office, you can find me a business with a 200 times return and let me see?"

"The problem is that most of the proceeds have been taken away by Lionsgate, and I only have a director who is paid $10,000, or my dad has given me a red envelope of 100,000 yuan for my poor sake. My dad said that if there is such a good business in the future, I must bring him with me!"

"Comrade Jason, you have to take a long-term view, you have proved yourself through this movie, you said that your next movie, people may still be treated like this?" Li Xiang had already figured out the script for the second movie he created for Jason.

"It makes sense to hear you say that!"
