Chapter 219: Serious nonsense

After the box office came out, a few were happy and a few were sad, but for the media, no matter who wins or loses, who is soaring, and who quits gloomily, it has nothing to do with them, they all have enough news material.

Journalists are probably the busiest and most "dedicated" professions, and they don't rest during the Chinese New Year, and they stay up late to write press releases that are polished and sent out, with praise and depreciation, suppression and promotion, fair evaluation and serious nonsense.

""Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" was not good at the box office on the first day of release and was suppressed!" This is the headline of Baidu, the largest search engine in China.

"Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the high-profile domestic blockbuster "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" landed in major theaters across the country, and won 36 million box office with the highest film schedule, compared with the box office of 41 million on the first day of "Avatar", it can be said that it is unsatisfactory, but "Avatar", which was released for ten days, won 38 million box office with a lower film schedule, and became the box office champion of the day!

There are also comments from M1905 Film Network, as an official film forum, they are naturally on the side of Huaying Group.

"Sun Wukong's character creation is a little unsuccessful, I can't see what kind of character it has at all, the front is talkative, and the back is suddenly righteous and awe-inspiring, it is worth noting that there is no transition point in the middle!

The whole movie is like a plot framing the development of the characters, why they gathered together and where they are going, there is no clear explanation, and the contradictions between them and the monsters are not clearly explained.

The plot is not connected, and there is no logic in many places, such as why they suddenly set off as a team of three masters and apprentices, without explaining it clearly, and the war between Sun Wukong and the boss seems to have fought bloodily without a clear explanation. The Great Sage was really embarrassed when he shouted Jiang Liu'er's name and fought.

The editing is poor, and many of the shots and shots are connected to black screens, which is actually nothing, but the rhythm is gone. ”

It seems that the person who wrote this article still watched the movie seriously, and pointed out the shortcomings from all aspects of the movie, but this hasn't been played yet, and there is a large paragraph below:

"The film spends too much money on promotion, spending most of its money on marketing in the hope of attracting audiences to the cinema, completely ignoring the film itself.

The story structure of this movie does not completely copy the plot of Journey to the West, I think it is conscientious, but why domestic movies have never been able to produce high-scoring movies, because the script has always been a headache, and the script of this movie is also like this: the story is messy and incoherent, although the story innovation does not copy Journey to the West, but also adds other fragments of Journey to the West;

Then those who have watched Miyazaki's movies should find that they are so similar in too many details in this movie, the most of which is "Spirited Away": White Dragon, a faceless man, Yu Copying and marrying (well, the culture is Huaxia, yes, I said it's the setting and character image, not the concept of the character, so some people say Huaxia Dragon, Neon Dragon or something, and say that Chaos is also Huaxia or something, it's not what I mean, I'm talking about this image painting style, about "Spirited Away" The feeling in it, not to mention that everyone didn't feel it in the return of the Great Sage, Jiang Liu's setting is the little girl in "Despicable Me", and Sun Wukong's imitation of "Journey to the West", and the action design is even more so, basically no originality: plagiarized actions include "The Matrix 2", "Advent Son", "Kung Fu", and also plagiarized the action design in the middle ninja exam in "Naruto...... I can't go on

In addition, the scene setting: The old demon cave is a copy of "Demon World" and "The Hobbit", the final boss fight is obviously long, and I saw the 0 tail image in "Naruto Theater Version", and there are many scenes in "Spirited Away"!

I'm not against borrowing, after all, taking people's strengths to make up for their own shortcomings, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade, but excessive borrowing becomes plagiarism!"

I bought a hiking bag last year!

Of course, Li Mu knows that the characters in this book do have acquaintances with other movies, but he doesn't plan to change it, change means risk, not to mention that chaos is originally six-legged and eyeless, and there is nothing wrong with this image.

But Li Mu won't leave a message below to refute it, this kind of thing is still left to the fans to do, there are arguments to attract people's attention, and there are a few movies that everyone likes.

Look at "The Shawshank Redemption" that was blown into the sky, it has been the highest-rated movie in China or the United States for so many years, but when it was released that year, the audience was not a bunch of bad reviews, what was too dull, the plot of the prison escape plagiarized "The Count of Monte Cristo", most of the criminals in the prison are good people, including those robbers, murderers, rapists and other heaviest and longest prison prisoners, the prison is too idealized, and the warden in it is too stupid.

The film failed miserably in the face of another classic "Forrest Gump" at the Oscars, and the Columbia Group, as the distributor, originally wanted to take advantage of the Oscar limelight to make a lot of money on the tape, but the result was unexpected, and there was not even a consolation prize.

However, Columbia is also worthy of being a Hollywood giant, and immediately made "The Shawshank Redemption" a tragedy, and the lack of Oscar revenue was also promoted by them as a regret for the Oscars, and because of this, "The Shawshank Redemption" was a great success in the video rental market, not only recovering the cost, but also allowing the production to make a profit.

......

Continue to watch, the other party's public relations ability is really not covered, and it can be said that so many media outlets can be moved.

"There are a little laughs in the whole film, but they are not deep enough, and I personally don't feel much about tears. The plot is too vulgar: "The protagonist is sluggish, self-abandoned, motivated, becomes stronger, and finally defeats the enemy", which has been used for decades,"

"In fact, the essence of this film is in the trailer, this is actually a movie that fills the trailer with some pretended funny bridges and boring plots, and the audience who has already seen the trailer I suggest that you don't need to go to the movie anymore, because you are destined to be disappointed!

There is also the theme song "Wukong", which alludes to the helplessness of the earthly world that is difficult to reverse, the loneliness of a person fighting, and the situation of having to fight, is actually the living state of every mortal, expressing the author's helplessness and unwillingness to reality!"
