Chapter 309: Breaking 100 million
Although "The Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" that broke 10 million on the first day was unanimously complained by the audience, Li Rengang tampered with history at will.
But for a movie, plausibility and authenticity are never the most important things.
At least the events that changed a few time periods and characters are not unacceptable to ordinary audiences.
There are also many things about "Heroes" that are not historically accurate, and that does not prevent its success.
Later, even if the smash hit anti-Japanese drama was sprayed as S, there are still many viewers who love to watch it.
And those conscience anti-Japanese war dramas are also seriously unrealistic, the Eighth Route Army in them actually dropped their bayonets and picked up the big knife during hand-to-hand combat.
The warrior with the broadsword is like being possessed by the god of war, and one by one, he can also cut off the rifle of the Japanese people.
There is no common sense at all, the bayonet is the best weapon in hand-to-hand combat, which is recognized by all countries of the world.
The same is true in actual combat, and some old Hongjun and old Balu soldiers who are still in the world have criticized this.
But that's how the director is filming, why?
Because it is more imposing to cut people with a big knife, it makes the audience look more cool.
"Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is not bad except for the big inconsistency with history, and several wonderful war scenes are much better than "Jiangshan Beauty".
And the movie picture, color, soundtrack, action design and other aspects are all first-class.
The most important thing is that as a movie that tells the legendary life of a historical celebrity, she has established the image of Zhao Yun.
Li Rengang may not know history, but he is more important than many people.
Zhao Yun of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" jumped out of the image of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and is more like a person.
Zhao Yun is not a "big man".
To put it mildly, he's just a man. To put it bigger, he is a general of Shu Han.
To put it ugly, he is the "bodyguard" and "nanny" in many people's mouths, and to say the United States, he is Luo Guanzhong's "winning general".
Zhao Yun is not a trendsetter in the Three Kingdoms era, he is just a member of the crowd.
He may be able to fight, but he will always get old. The victorious generals are not undefeated.
So, we saw Zhao Zilong take off his armor.
We also saw that in the end, that Zhao Yun, the twilight hero, returned to the battlefield with a gun.
But it's a pity that there is no problem with Li Rengang's portrayal of such a Zhao Yun, but it is not what the audience wants to see.
At least not the vast majority of viewers who want to go to the cinema for fun.
What the audience is looking forward to should be a costume version of "007", or "Mission Impossible".
What they want to see is that Zhao Yun is in and out of Changban Slope seven times, killing countless fierce generals and soldiers, even if this is not true.
It was Zhao Yun who beheaded 5 Han De's father and son in a row with an invincible attitude and won one big battle after another.
However, the last twenty or thirty minutes of the film are not like this, Zhao Yun tied with a woman and was injured by a sneak attack.
There was almost no battle in the back, and his generals died one after another.
In short, Li Rengang did not make the audience happy.
The audience doesn't need you to have much connotation in the movie, you just want to watch it cool, even if you just feel cool after watching it, even if you wake up the next day and don't remember what you specifically said.
Fortunately, in the last shot of the movie, the white-haired Liu Dehua rushed towards Cao Jun against the snowflakes in the sky, which can be called the most important shot in the whole film, which adds a lot of points in the movie.
After breaking 10 million on the first day, from April 3 to 6, "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" won a total of 39 million box office in the first weekend, occupying the box office champion without suspense.
39 million in 4 days, much better than the 3-day 24 million in "Jiangshan Beauty", breaking 100 million is a matter of course.
Not only did it break 100 million, but the box office in the last three days was only lower than the first day, which fully shows that the reputation of this movie is really not very good, at least the audience is not satisfied.
On Monday of the following week, the box office plummeted by 50% on the first working day, reaching 5 million, and only 18 million came in in the next four working days.
The box office on Saturday and Sunday recovered, with a two-day harvest of 12.5 million, and a total box office of 74.5 million in 11 days of release.
As of Wednesday, April 23, the total box office of "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" successfully exceeded 100 million, becoming the third film to break 100 million at the box office in 08 and the only costume blockbuster with a box office of more than 100 million this year.
The box office is almost the same as the cost, and the media boasted that the domestic film was the third highest box office this year, while criticizing the film for causing huge losses to investors.
There are even sworn media who have calculated that Berner has lost nearly 50 million on this project.
Then Liu Dehua and Liu Dong became box office poison, and Li Rengang was also a street director.
......
On April 23, Liu Dong and Li Manyuan went to Chaoyang Park in Beijing to attend the world premiere of "The King of Kung Fu" held tonight.
As the most important film in China in the first half of this year, the release of "The King of Kung Fu" can be described as highly anticipated.
Although it is not as good as the premiere of "Hero" in the Great Hall of the People, it is not as good as the premiere of "Night Banquet" in the auditorium of the Chinese People.
However, there are definitely not many movies that can have a premiere in Chaoyang Park, and there is even only one such thing as "The King of Kung Fu" in history
Along the way, you can see taxis driving in the direction of Chaoyang Park, and the fans on the sidewalk on the roadside are also excited.
There are only four superstars in the Chinese film industry, and for the first time in 30 years, two of them appear in the same movie.
The iron law that the king does not see the king has been broken today, and everyone on both sides of the strait and three places is looking forward to what kind of energy this movie can burst out and what miracles it can create.
Can it be the same as "Hero" to raise the domestic film market to a higher level.
Liu Dong withdrew his gaze from the window and said with some emotion, "This is not as lively as Jay Chou's concert, no wonder the box office of his "Slam Dunk" can easily break 100 million." ”
In terms of popularity in China today, whether it is Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei or Long Xingjie Fahua, these top actors cannot be compared with Zhou Jieba.
If the box office of 100 million is not much shocking, then breaking 30 million in two days of release is perverted enough.
15 million on the first day, which is higher than "Yangtze River No. 7", "Assembly Number", "Casting Name", and "Lust Caution", and only a few movies by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige's "Night Banquet" exceed this number.
"There is no comparison!" Li Manyuan shook her head, "There is basically only one concert in one city, and it is rare once a year, so it will naturally attract more audiences." ”
"And the movie will be released for a month, and dozens of movie theaters in every city, except for loyal fans, will rarely go out of their way to see the premiere. ”
"That's right!"
Liu Dong nodded, but the premiere was held in the open-air Chaoyang Park, and he didn't know what Huayi thought.
What if it rains heavily!
Liu Dong glanced at the sky outside the window again, and thought with some evil taste.
