At the same time that "Genius Gunman" was released, major movie review websites also gave the gunman a score.

More than 300,000 people participated in the rating, and the temporary score is as high as 8.8, and it will definitely decline in the future, but this starting point is destined to make it impossible for the Gunners to fall too much, and it will definitely remain above 8 points in the end.

Among them, the 5-star praise rate has reached 33.3%, and the 4-star praise rate is an astonishing 50.4%, which is very rare in domestic films, especially since it is still a commercial movie.

Time Machine Network also gave a high score of 8.9 points, and other Asian film review websites that were released at the same time also gave the gunslinger a good score.

There are a lot of film reviews about the gunman, but the most widely spread in China is from a film review with the ID of Li Dagen entitled "Creepy Movie!":

First of all, this movie review involves a lot of spoilers, please detour for students who have not seen the movie!

Okay, I'll move on.

When I watched this movie for the first time, I thought it was very refreshing, the three exams in it were obviously progressive, and Director Li's editing and soundtrack were also classics, turning an exam movie that could have been boring into the rhythm of an action movie.

But when I got home, I always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment I couldn't figure it out, so I re-entered the theater the next day, and watched this movie for the second time, and I understood what was wrong, this movie was simply scary and creepy!

The most terrifying thing is not Xiao Tao's blackening, or Xiao Lin's loss of the opportunity to go abroad, but the fact that the school has been acquiescing to the cheating of rich classmates.

It is necessary to popularize a knowledge point here, applying to universities in the United States, not only need to brush up on high STIC test scores, but also need to maintain a high GPA on the usual transcripts.

So at the beginning of the film, the exam questions happened to be the questions of Xiaoya's tutoring class, which proved that the teacher had already released water to her.

Later, in the stadium exam, Bank handed in the papers early and told the invigilator that they might be cheating, and the invigilator replied, "I know, I'll take a look later", but didn't check it.

Later, Bank told the dean of students, and Xiao Lin also lost the opportunity to take the Singapore scholarship exam as punishment.

But what punishment does Xiaodong have for copying Xiao Lin's answer? The film doesn't say it, but judging from the last time he celebrated together at the party, it didn't affect him in any way.

Xiao Tao was eventually expelled for cheating.

Xiao Lin said in the film, "We are copying for others, not copying others, what are we afraid of". But in fact, until the end, only those who copied others were punished, and those who copied others were safe and sound.

Power and money can package the initiators into talents who are excellent in learning and without a trace of stain, and welcome a new life with infinite possibilities in a champagne night.

And the poor students who were dragged into the quagmire step by step could not resist the temptation of money and turned completely black, even if the money exchanged for their future was only enough to buy a locomotive and a few new washing machines.

This is really a horror movie wrapped in the cloak of youth! Don't say anything, praise Director Li! Please give me a dozen movies like this in the future!

Li Dagen deeply interpreted the hidden theme in "Genius Gunman", while another netizen Oshima found another way, he tried to interpret the little easter eggs set by Li Xiang from the perspective of lens language:

Many gods have expressed their own interpretations of the plot of this movie, and I won't make an axe in Panmen.

I would like to talk about what I think of Li Daoniu X from the lens aspect.

I don't know if you have noticed that there are three shots of two mirrors in the movie?

The first time is at the beginning of the film, with the infinitely extended effect of the two mirrors.

This is the beginning of the film, which indicates that Xiao Lin is sinking deeper and deeper in the wrong direction, with no end in sight.

The second shot appears at the end of the film, when Xiao Lin realizes her mistake and decides to start over as a teacher.

It's also an infinitely extended effect, but note that this angle is completely opposite to the opening shot, implying that the heroine has corrected and is developing for the better.

The third appearance is also the most powerful and terrifying place in my opinion.

Xiaoya asked Xiao Lin to help her cheat and pass the STIC exam in the restaurant, Xiaoya said that as long as she could help her pass successfully, she could get 120,000, but the heroine did not reply.

Then the scene switches to Xiao Lin coming out of the elevator, and then going down the stairs, just as she goes down to the bottom of the stairs, Xiao Lin suddenly stops and looks at the mirror.

Those who look carefully should be able to see that although the mirror is also infinitely extended, it is obviously different from the above 2, because in the mirror of this lens, the heroine is not facing the same direction!

One is the front and the other is the back, which is staggered and extended in this way, and it also shows the entanglement of the heroine's choice between 120,000 and morality.

I have to say that Director Li is really a genius, I really admire it!

"Genius Gunman" reaps the box office with excellent word-of-mouth.

On October 8, the National Day holiday ended, and people who went out to play or stayed at home returned to their jobs, and the box office of "Genius Gunman" was also counted.

123 million, during the National Day holiday, on average, it can win nearly 18 million box office every day, which is a very terrifying achievement, and it also squeezes the box office of competitors in the same schedule.

"Painted Skin" bore the brunt, originally according to the popularity of the release in the previous life, "Painted Skin" was able to win a box office of nearly 100 million yuan during the National Day holiday, but in this life, with the strong sniping of the gunman, the entire small long holiday "Painted Skin" only got less than 60 million results, and the last few days of the small long holiday fell below 5 million.

This is a vicious circle, the box office is poor, the film scheduling rate is low, the lower the film scheduling rate, the worse the box office, even the most optimistic people estimate, "Painted Skin" can only get a box office of just over 100 million in the end.

Compared with its production cost of up to 70 million, it can be said that it is half dead, even if there is a box office in Southeast Asia to transfuse, but the mainland side can not enjoy the box office share there.

However, it is not without movies that survived in front of the monster of the gunman, such as the small-budget movie "Departure Today" starring Fan Wei, which won a box office of 6 million under the attack of two blockbusters.

Fan Wei is also a favorite actor of Li Xiang, although he has always given the impression of being mainly funny, Li wants to know that the former famous comedian will win the Golden Horse Best Actor in the future with the black and white movie "Not a Problem".

Even though the fairness of this award is often questioned, it is sprayed when it is given to Wanwan's own people, and most of the awards won by other regions are relatively fair.
