At the end of May, with nearly a month of screenings, the May Day show is nearing its end.

Under the praise of a group of undisciplined media, the total box office of "The Avengers" exceeded 800 million, accounting for more than half of the box office of the entire May, and it was worthy of the name of hanging everything.

Not only was the box office a big hit, but even the Douban score was as high as 8 points, which is very high in Hollywood commercial movies.

However, film forums like Douban and Time have always been like this, and they are always more demanding on domestic films than foreign films.

Under normal circumstances, a Hollywood commercial blockbuster, the reputation in North America is often better than that of China, and IMDB's scores are often lower than those on Douban. Americans just think they can give a score of seven, and Douban thinks that they can give an eight. For the same movie, IMDB's score is about one point lower than that of Douban.

Present the facts and reason, no picture and no truth.

The "Transformers" series trilogy is full of bad reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and on Douban, the score of "Change 1" is as high as 8.1 (excellent level), as a comparison, the IMDB score is 7.1 (just average), as for "Change 3", the Douban score is 6.8 (a good popcorn movie), and the IMDB score is 5.7 (no doubt a bad movie).

We can imagine that now Douban has scored "The Legend of the White Snake" with 5.4 bad movies, which is equivalent to the level of IMDB watching "Change 3", if IMDB also gives "The Legend of the White Snake" more than 6.5, then the encounter between "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Change 3" in the two countries is a good example of mirror comparison.

What's funny is that Hollywood is quite good at domestic commercial blockbusters that Douban often can't watch. Let's take Zhang Yimou as an example, the Douban score of "Hero" is only 6.7 points, which can only be regarded as average, and it is as high as 7.9 points on IBDB, which is a very good performance.

The same is true for "Ambush on All Sides", Douban is 5.5, but the IMDB score is as high as 7.6 points.

As for "The City Full of Golden Armor", which was scolded by Cheng Xiang in China, the Douban score is 5.1, the bad movie is undoubted, and the IMDB score is 7.0. It's awkward.

The previous year's "Zhao Zilong" scored as high as 8.7 points on IBDB, surpassing the five films "Ip Man", "In the Mood for Love", "Infernal Affairs", "Hang the Red Lantern High" and "Chongqing Forest", which also scored 8 points, to become the highest-rated Chinese film.

But on Douban, the score of this movie has almost fallen below the eight-point mark.

and "Wolf Warrior", which is the box office champion in Chinese film history, has a score of only 7.6 points on Douban.

So basically, it is very common for a Hollywood commercial blockbuster to have a Douban score 10% higher than IMDB. In turn, IMDB's score for Chinese commercial films is often 10% higher than that of Douban. What does this mean? Probably, the phrase "the moon is still a circle abroad" is not only true in China, but also for foreign audiences. Therefore, not only Douban can't watch its own movies, but IMDB can't watch its own movies either.

Why is this so? A very important reason is that Hollywood releases more than 30 selected movies to China every year, and most of the bad movies Chinese audiences have no chance to see, and our own bad movies impress the audience too much.

Over time, many people do have a fixed mindset that Hollywood blockbusters are better than domestic blockbusters. But it is not uncommon for everyone in the United States to watch their own bad movies, so their tolerance for their own movies is relatively low. On the contrary, Zhang Yimou's oriental style is very charming.

Generally, domestic commercial movies that can score a score of six on Douban are all genres that can be worth watching.

If it is above seven points, it is already a relatively good commercial movie.

If you have five points, you can look at it if it's really boring.

Less than five is a waste of time.

While this standard may not be suitable for all films, it is definitely suitable for the vast majority of people and commercial films.

As for literary films, there are too few people who score them to be referenced, and some people give high scores to some obscure movies in order to show their uniqueness, and some easy-to-understand movies are garbage in their eyes.

......

The May 1st file ended, and Li Mu's "Looking for the Dragon" also ushered in the filming of the last scene.

One of the five major water systems in Beijing, the Yongding River flows through the section of Fengtai District.

In addition to some old men fishing by the river, a large number of new guests were welcomed today.

"Hurry up, get the coffin ready, is the air pump in the water ready!"

Li Mu stood by the river with a horn in his hand, constantly directing the crew to push several coffins into the river.

"Mr. Li, the vortex air pump is ready, can you start?" An employee from the props team ran over to ask for instructions.

"All ready?" Li Mu nodded and asked, "How big a vortex can it cause?" ”

"We've tried it before, and the resulting vortex won't be less than fifty meters in diameter!" The staff of the props team replied.

Fifty meters in diameter is enough!

Li Mu said, "You guys go and push those coffins into the middle of the river, and then let's start!" ”

The props team staff nodded, turned around and beckoned everyone to help get the three coffins out.

Twenty minutes later, with the efforts of the crew, the three coffins finally reached their predetermined positions.

After all the employees in the river came ashore, Li Mu informed them that they could start.

"Boom!"

As the air pump turned on, a whirlpool instantly appeared on the calm surface of the river, and it grew larger and larger.

In a few seconds, the diameter of this huge vortex had reached fifty meters, engulfing everything next to it in an instant, and the three coffins that had just been placed on the surface of the river were also swept away by the vortex, constantly spinning in the air.

The surging vortex soared into the sky, not only calming the crew, but even the people who were playing and fishing nearby were frightened by this huge momentum.

In the face of the forces of nature, the power of any individual is very small, and many people even wonder if they can survive if they are in the center of the vortex.

And the reporter who found out that Li Mu was going to go out here also appeared not far away, and almost instinctively raised the camera in his hand to record this shocking picture.

"This is a real shot!" A reporter muttered to himself in place.

"He's really bold, what if something happens......"

Li Mu didn't care about the expressions of the others, and after confirming that the coffin was not twisted by the whirlpool, he asked Lu Yi, Chen Qiaoen, and Deng Chao to get into the coffin and continue shooting.

A morning of talk finally passed without danger, and the last scene of the movie "Looking for the Dragon" was successfully filmed.

Nearly half a year of hard filming is finally over, and Li Mu is about to devote himself to the crucial post-production.
