One day after the release of "The Raid", the American media gave evaluations one after another - "the best action movie of the 21st century!" ”

Such an assessment is undoubtedly extremely weighty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared with such an evaluation, the box office performance of this movie is also good.

In view of the fact that this movie is the work of Chen Xueqian, the chairman of Summit Entertainment, it has extremely obvious preferential treatment in the film schedule of its own theaters.

Although it can't reach the level of "The Hangover" at the beginning, you must know that the peak entertainment at this time has changed qualitatively compared with that time, so in terms of specific scenes, the number of films scheduled for "The Raid" even faintly exceeds that of "The Hangover".

Thanks to this, coupled with Chen Xueqian's personal appeal, the film's first-day box office reached a terrifying $7 million.

Although everyone knows that this is completely aimed at the name of Chen Xueqian, it is Chen Xueqian's influence with the three super popular novels "The Hunger Games", "Twilight" and "Incomparably Beautiful Pain", as well as many super high-grossing movies.

But this box office result really amazed everyone.

You must know that Asian films have never had much market in Europe and the United States, and even the most pinnacle Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only opened to $8 million.

In fact, after 2006, Chinese films began to fall into an embarrassing period in the American market. From Bruce Lee who pioneered kung fu movies in the 90s to Ang Lee who started the Hollywood martial arts style.

By 2006, both of these trends had no market in the United States. However, in this situation, Chen Xueqian completely relied on his personal influence to forcibly brush up on a wave of Chinese trends.

This is indeed worthy of Chen Xueqian's slogan of reinventing Chinese action movies.

Although there are many tricks in this, such as Chen Xueqian's use of three language versions, such as the fact that the story of the movie is not set in China.

But through this movie, it really opened the door to the American road of Chinese films.

There is actually a huge market for fashion action movies in today's market, which can be seen in many examples, but due to some special reasons, this gap has rarely been filled. However, Chen Xueqian's success this time may be able to drive the emergence of this kind of film to a certain extent.

In addition to the more consistent evaluation given by the American media, the evaluation of this movie on the Internet is also quite magical, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is actually quite high. This is probably because most of the people who watched this movie in the early stage were fans of Chen Xueqian.

Of course, there is naturally a lot of abuse in this.

"What a bad movie, Chen Xueqian is as bad as ever, probably because he can't run out of ketchup at home, so he made such a bad movie, right?"

However, when such a post appears, the comments below tend to be maddening.

"I didn't expect Chen to be such a man?"

"I'm completely hooked!"

Well, Chen Xueqian's female fans do have good combat effectiveness.

However, such comments are by no means a good thing in the United States, or not necessarily a good thing in any place.

Because the appearance of crazy fans often brings great controversy, and even the idol himself is affected.

This feeling is not much different from the fans of Justin Bieber in later generations, but fortunately, Chen Xueqian's fans are not fanatical enough to go crazy for Chen Xueqian's movie.

And Chen Xueqian's movies may not be widely used in terms of audience, but if it is a genre film, it can definitely be regarded as one of the best.

So on the Internet in the United States, although Chen Xueqian's movie caused a lot of waves, it still maintained a good reception overall.

As for South Korea, Koreans tend to be ruthless and simple about action movies, and Chen Xueqian's movie is completely in line with this style, coupled with Chen Xueqian's previous name, this movie is not bad in the Korean market.

As for in Thailand, the popularity of this movie can be regarded as eye-catching, borrowing the glory of Tony Jia's play, Chen Xueqian's movie has a feeling of enjoying the shade under the big tree, and the Thai actors' Muay Thai boxing style is quite sharp and fierce, so this movie is also a big hit in Thailand.

However, the biggest controversy for this movie is from China!

In China, it has always been difficult for a country to achieve a unified voice. There are literally all kinds of people on the Internet in later generations, all kinds of ideas, all kinds of positions, all kinds of professional blacks sprayed for spraying, and boundless water army.

When Chen Xueqian's movie was released, almost immediately, some people compared it with many previous classic movies, so that countless voices appeared on the Internet.

In China in 2006, although the Internet was far from being as explosive as in later generations, it had already begun to take shape.

Chen Xueqian's film tries its best to make up for the shortcomings of the "Raid" in the previous life, and fully carries forward the advantages of the film in the previous life.

In addition, in many action designs, Chen Xueqian also added many highlights of classic action movies in later generations, and he directly took the shots of "Raid 2" in his previous life in the most important martial arts scenes of the whole film.

Not only that, Chen Xueqian did not have the biggest problem he encountered during the filming of this movie in his previous life, that is, the problem of insufficient funds. In this life, Chen Xueqian is not short of money at all, so the entire shooting cost has directly doubled compared with the previous life, soaring to 2 million US dollars.

Of course, compared to his achievements, the production cost is pitiful. But Chen Xueqian's main purpose is to warn Chinese filmmakers that many things don't have to be big productions to win.

In this way, how can Chen Xueqian's film not be sophisticated?

But sometimes a person is too good, not necessarily all good things, Mu Xiu will blow in the forest wind.

Chen Xueqian's film uses a completely different style of play from previous Chinese films, the fighting style is fast, accurate and ruthless, which is completely different from the Chinese painting style that often works for half a day without a single person falling.

This has surprised countless people, but it has also made many people unhappy.

Especially when some people commented excitedly: "This movie completely swept all martial arts movies in China." ”

When Chen Xueqian's film achieved a $7 million opening in the United States, it made fans who like this movie even more happy.

However, trouble also came unexpectedly.

When fans of "The Raid" began to hype the film on the Internet, someone couldn't stop coming out and sneering: "Any garbage film dares to say that it is the best of the century!" ”

"I only serve Bruce Lee in kung fu movies!"

"In the current kung fu movies, only Kung Fu Dan dares to fight!"

"No matter how beautiful the movie is, it's useful, and it's really a competition if you have the ability!"

"It's just, a useless flower shelf!"

However, these remarks about their idols are not the most terrible, what is really terrible is that some people directly and arbitrarily commented: "The box office in the United States is high, why don't you go to the United States?" What else do you want to do in China? ”

Such rhetoric is already completely inciting national sentiments.

However, for Chen Xueqian, a person who can be called an overnight success, in fact, many people hope that he can be unlucky from the bottom of their hearts. It's all out of human jealousy. And this malice is also the most inexplicable.

For this reason, under the comments of the movie "Raid", almost instantaneously, there were a bunch of posts attacking each other.

The entire "Raid" review also presents a polarized situation, either directly hitting ten points, or directly giving zero points without explanation.

For a time, Chen Xueqian was completely pushed down on the cusp of public opinion.

However, compared with the polarized word-of-mouth, the box office of "The Raid" is much better, and it has been soaring all the way.

In the midst of the media debate, Chen Xueqian has quietly come to France. Beside him were a pair of Korean sisters, who were the same beauties who served as his welcome at the Samsung annual meeting.

At that time, the two women did not all truthfully explain their identities, in fact, they were still a pair of sisters, no wonder Chen Xueqian felt that the two were somewhat similar at the time, and he thought it was because of the Korean face changing Dafa, and the popular face blindness in later generations recurred!

I didn't think about it, but it was because the other party was a pair of sisters.

But thinking about it, these two sisters are really heavy enough to dedicate themselves together. After a long time, Chen Xueqian learned from the sisters that the reason why Samsung took a fancy to their sisters at that time was because of their special status, so the agreement they reached with Samsung at that time was quite considerable.

Chen Xueqian, who appeared in France, actually promoted his movie. And this propaganda is basically the same as the routine of many Chinese films in later generations, participating in film festivals.

Chen Xueqian's film was sent to the Cannes Film Festival in France just after the production was completed, in fact, his film did not strictly meet the rules of participation, but since Chen Xueqian's film did not participate in the main competition, the Cannes Film Festival finally agreed to his request to participate.
