"Just yesterday, a much-publicized movie was finally released, and the author went to the movie to watch this movie for the first time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAfter all, it claims to have invested tens of millions, and it has also posted posters all over the streets, and the trailer has been repeatedly broadcast on Star TV, and it has even been declared in newspapers that this is the best romantic comedy of the year, so it makes people wonder if this movie lives up to its name.

After watching it, when I wanted to write a review, I didn't write it down several times, this movie lacks a little Hong Kong flavor, but it is really good, which makes people very embarrassed.

The story is simple, Applejack, who works as a veterinarian at Ocean Park, falls in love with Ah Zhen, a young girl suffering from short-term amnesia, at first sight, and rushes to recover her memories at the expense of her.

If you just look at the synopsis, you will probably think that it is no different from an ordinary romantic comedy, and you will think the same way behind closed doors. But when you get to the cinema, you can see the difference at the beginning, at least in Hong Kong, there has never been a director who uses such a fast-paced editing to start, but the pace is fast but not messy, fully showing the audience the character of the male protagonist Applejack. Although this character does not play a role in promoting the plot in the future, it plumps up the image of the characters and allows the audience to quickly substitute for it.

I have to say that director Wang Jing's ability is very good, and compared with his debut film "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", they are two completely unrelated styles.

Whether it is editing, composition or color, "50 First Loves" is more than one step ahead of the current Hong Kong films, and the emotional line between the male and female protagonists is also unexpected, which is reasonable, especially the sublimation of the ending, I believe it will make many people's eyes light up.

With all due respect, the ending is the biggest surprise, so I won't say much here.

In addition, the performances of the actors are also remarkable, Zhang Guorong is young and handsome enough, not to mention very joyful, and can switch between funny and affectionate styles freely. Zhong Yihong's smile is very charming, and the breakup on a rainy night and the final confession are especially outstanding and very layered.

Among the supporting roles, the most outstanding is Cheng Kuian's Dasha, whose vicious appearance contrasts sharply with his wife's strict character, which is both laughing and plump.

Then after "Peach and Plum Fight for Spring", Wang Tianlin, who played the role of an actor again, came out to support his son this time, which was also quite eye-catching, and he did not appear many times, but he vividly interpreted the words of majesty and loving father.

Zhong Zhentao is a little worse, his performance is a little excessive, but the quiet and quiet Xiaoyu makes people's eyes shine, and the open teeth and brain door when he first appears, it looks very scary, and people are almost unrecognizable. But in the end, when she was with Zhong Zhentao, the beautiful contrast made her look quite attractive, and if the exaggerated performance was controlled again, it would be even more brilliant.

All in all, it's a pretty good romantic comedy, arguably not just the best this year, and there's not necessarily a romantic comedy that will surpass it in the next decade. ”

-- Sing Tao Daily, Liu Zhihua

Because "Film Biweekly" is a weekly magazine, and it has not yet reached the time of release, Liu Zhihua had no choice but to publish the film review in his column in "Sing Tao Daily".

Of course, when the next issue of "Film Fortnightly" is released, there will definitely be a special feature.

There are many film critics like Liu Zhihua, after all, this movie was released directly after the promotion, and there was no respect for the tradition of the midnight show at all, so they could only wait for the official release to watch it.

Then, as long as you watch it carefully, basically like Liu Zhihua, they are full of praise for the movie, whether it is the composition or editing, the character design and the main story line, they all surprised this group of "earth leopards", what kind of movie can be made like this? !

"Very good story, very good ending, with a lot of aftertaste. This is a report from Ming Pao.

"The director seems to be playing hide and seek with you, and whenever you think you have guessed the end, it will immediately turn around again. This is a report from Cheng Pao.

"Imagination Pictures' 50 First Loves, which has spent a lot of money, is indeed the best romantic comedy of the year. "This is the report of the Oriental Daily News - the sycophants are not technical at all.

Even Lin Yanni was unwilling to be lonely, and wrote in the column: "Women don't really need much romance, and they don't need any vigorous love. What they want is very simple, to have a man who tolerates their shortcomings and is willing to make compromises to accompany them for the rest of their lives. ”

Then Huang Zhan also came to join in the fun: "Whether a man is willing to make compromises for the woman he likes, and whether he is willing to tolerate the shortcomings of the woman he likes, takes time to prove, just like Ajie, the male protagonist of "50 First Loves". ”

This show of affection in the air makes people's teeth sour, and if it is changed in 30 years, I am afraid that a large number of people will block the door with gasoline lighters.

Of course, it is not without criticism, for example, a film critic in a column in the "Daily Daily" said that short-term memory loss disorder is nonsense at all, and the background of the actor is completely illogical, he can buy a boat casually, but he still stays in Ocean Park to work as a veterinarian.

And the column of "Xin Pao" also criticized film critics, in such a remote place as Tai O, even if the heroine's family is rich, it is impossible to raise several cars at the same time, and the weather changes so much in a year, doesn't the heroine even notice it?

However, these criticisms all have one thing in common: First, they are basically published in second- and third-rate newspapers with a circulation, and second, they are basically painless or relatively nitpicky.

After all, most newspaper bosses know who the people who invested in "50 First Loves" are, this is a strong cross-river dragon, and it is not so easy for others to launch a surge to overdo it.

Not to mention anything else, the person who can send his own TV station to ICAC without mercy, even the governor of Hong Kong has to give five points of face.

So far, the local consortium in Hong Kong has temporarily summarized that person's character, simply put, as long as you respect him, give him face, and take advantage of it, it doesn't matter, people just love to play.

But if you don't give him face, disturb him to play the game, and make him unhappy, even if it is the king of heaven, it will be lifted on the ground for you to see.

It seems to be a bit exaggerated, but the reason why this is the case is, in the final analysis, the water in the pool of Hong Kong is still too small, and the big capital can't look down on it at all, and the storm in another time and space fifteen years later, not the endorsement of the north, has long been eaten up, and it is still a small tail of the storm that crosses the border.

Therefore, the bosses of major newspapers, as long as they know the inside story, have more or less greeted the editors, or hinted at one or two, and selected a more suitable film review for publication.

Lao Cha is no exception, how can a literati like him not speculate, "Ming Pao" was able to transform at the beginning, wasn't it just by taking advantage of the east wind of the refugee tide and the polemic with Mr. Chen?

As for the film critics, their opinions don't matter at all, they will have a channel card and nothing will be left. There are too many excuses, the typography is needed, the style of the article is not suitable, and so on.

In fact, film critics are not stupid enough to brush the tiger's beard, they and the film are in a symbiotic relationship, touting each other and taking what they need.

Hollywood does this best, the film company gives some gifts, covers the vacation expenses, etc., and the film critics will sing the praises of the film company's films, which is different from bribery.

Of course, the foundation of everything is still the quality of the movie, and if the movie is too bad, film critics will not risk smashing the signboard and insist on saying that the white is black. This is like the Oscars, when deciding the winner, it is indeed based on the level of public relations, but if there is no quality foundation, even the position of the winner cannot be reached.

If anything, at the time when the movie was just coming out, film critics might really be able to manipulate whether a movie could be popular or not. However, with the development of the times, all kinds of new media continue to appear, radio, television, and the Internet in the future, and they have gradually become dogs raised by capital.

Therefore, in this and later eras, I feel that as a film critic I can manipulate the reputation of a movie, I am generally either stupid or mentally retarded.

And those who feel that film critics have monopolized the reputation of the movie, vowed to bring them down, and returned Hollywood a "bright and good", generally have a mentally handicapped halo and want to find a rival's second goods.

At present, although Hong Kong's film industry and film critics are not as harmonious and free as Hollywood, they will not be fools in a society with a greater proportion of human affection, not to mention that the quality of "50 First Loves" is indeed leveraged.

Therefore, in this kind of one-sided applause, coupled with the bombardment and publicity for most of the month, the box office of "50 First Loves" directly exceeded 2.5 million on the first day!

As soon as this number came out, it immediately made the people on the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line shake a few times with their livers. There are only 20 movie theaters in Shaw Brothers, a theater has nearly 1,000 seats, a leading theater has more than 1,000, and a box office of more than 2.5 million a day.

But this is not over, the second day directly rushed to 3 million, and although it fell on the third day, the amplitude was not large, so the first week passed, and the total box office directly exceeded 10 million.

It's only been a few years since the first movie that grossed more than 10 million at the box office! Now it's a week to reach this record? And it's too exaggerated to see that it's going to be over 20 million, right?

However, even with psychological preparation, another 10 million box office was recorded in the second week, and the total box office easily exceeded 20 million, which once again made Hong Kong filmmakers lose their language.

The box office in the first week exceeded 10 million, and the box office in the second week exceeded 10 million, do you want people to live? Although the second week of the show time is a little longer, this is already very exaggerated, okay, this is a record!

But that's not all, although the box office began to return to normal in the next two weeks, the numbers are still moving in the direction of 30 million, even if countless people are shouting "stop, stop" in their hearts.

As a result, when the movie was postponed for a week, the box office stopped at the number of 30.12 million.

The Hong Kong film industry was speechless again, from the end of March to the beginning of April 1982, the film market of this small broken island presented an extremely tragic situation, and the huge super steamroller of "50 First Loves" crushed all the way over, crushing countless movies released at the same time beyond recognition.

The worst is "Beware of Little Hands", an independent film that originally occupied a place in the top ten Hong Kong movie box office in 82 and won 11 million box office, but was cut by 3 million.

This is still TOEFL released at the end of March, if it is at the same time as "50 First Loves", I am afraid that it will be as dead as other movies.

And this is not enough, even after more than half a year, "Best Partner", which has invested more than 10 million yuan in Xinyicheng, has been released, and another time and space has harvested a box office of 26 million, and it still stops at 22 million after the film critics compare it with "50 First Loves".
