readx;
After walking out of the cinema, the reporters also grabbed some people to interview. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a movie theater in the capital, the reporter arrested a middle-aged uncle, who was about forty-two years old, with eyes, giving people a very Sven feeling.
The question asked by the reporter was to ask him if he thought the movie "Fighting Martial Arts" was good.
This is the question that reporters are most concerned about, after all, this is Su Li's new work, and everyone also wants to know what it is.
The uncle thought for a while and said: "Overall, this is a rare good movie, even if it is tested by Su Li's level in the past, the answer obtained is the same." ”
"If you just look at the viewing effect of the movie, "Fighting Martial Arts" can also be said to maintain the standard that Su Li-style blockbusters have always had...... The duel between him and Donnie Yen in the movie is also quite eye-catching, and he was fascinated by the fight between them from the beginning, and later he couldn't extricate himself...... The graphics are pretty well done, especially in the fights in the city, which are handled quite well, and the feeling of a lot of hard things being vulnerable in front of them is fascinating. From a business point of view alone, the film is really quite good...... From beginning to end, we were all hooked on the story, and then the beautiful action design made my eyes take my eyes off the screen all at once......"
The reporter listened carefully, and at the same time used the recording to write down the words of the middle-aged uncle, but after the uncle finished talking about the wonderful performance of "Douwu" in terms of special effects, he suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then said: "How to say it...... the artistic surname of the movie "Douwu" is also quite good, which gave me a lot to think about. It's just that I feel that Su Li is a little tricky. And it kind of feels like he's a little too much of a fan of his ideas in this movie, of course, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that different people may have different opinions, and movies should be a tool to entertain the public in the final analysis. And he will suddenly make some effects to make people suddenly think that this is just an ordinary commercial blockbuster...... It's a bit of a stretch. ”
The middle-aged uncle finally summed it up: "All in all, it's a good movie...... It's just that there are some places in it that have a different view from Su Li...... The benevolent and the wise see the wise, and everyone has their own opinions......"
The reporter expressed his gratitude to the middle-aged uncle for giving him an answer, and at the same time muttered in his heart - from "Nightclub. Supermarket" has been through a lot of Su Li's movies so far, but it is the first time that he has heard someone think that this movie is problematic, but after thinking about it, he feels that even the best movie will always have many people raise objections, and this is just a complete part of a movie.
―――――― the day "Fighting Martial Arts" ended, the box office statistics came out.
After all, in terms of publicity, it is not the same as blockbusters such as "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", although there are many people who know this movie, but due to publicity problems, it is naturally not as good as "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers" has a box office that is against the sky. In addition, the investment in "Douwu" is not at the same level as "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", so after counting these factors, the box office performance of "Douwu" on the first day is much inferior to that of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers".
The box office results of "Douwu" on the first day came down, and the mainland box office was 40.12 million, which can also be called a miracle in the domestic film market, although it can't be compared with the real box office miracle of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", but the box office of more than 40 million on the first day is definitely not something that any domestic film can get.
With the box office of 40.12 million, "Douwu" not only recovered its costs, but also earned nearly 10 million yuan...... The speed at which this cost recovery can be achieved is truly astonishing. It's just that "Fighting Martial Arts" is not a blockbuster with huge investment and great pressure like "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", so Su Li didn't pay so much attention to the box office of this movie, and he paid more attention to people's reactions.
On the table, there is a lot of reaction from people so far...... This made his brow furrow slightly.
Because, this "Fighting Martial Arts" has some discordant phenomena that are not quite the same as in the past, which makes people a little distressed.
"Fighting Martial Arts" is still not low on Time.com, with a high score of 8.4, but there are more discordant comments on it, more than every previous movie.
Su Li did encounter some trouble this time, whether it was "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" or the later "Doll", he did not encounter such trouble.
There is a film review with a more representative surname on time:
""Fighting Martial Arts" is a good movie, there is no doubt about it, judging from the commercial surname of the picture effect, Su Li has brought these to the fullest, it seems that after the experience of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", his ability to use this commercial surname has been perfected. And the artistic surname of "Douwu" is also very good, with the advantages of the combination of commercial and artistic surnames that Su Li's films have always had, and the fusion of his commercial surname and artistic surname is often without a trace, this movie has Su Li's consistent style......"
It's just that, compared to the point of "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers", this "Fighting Martial Arts" is a little tricky in some places, so that people can know what he is talking about through the interlocking plots...... In some places, it is too blatant, and it is completely his own thoughts. A movie is a movie after all, although it needs to have a certain artistic content, it can't be mixed with too many things that belong to the film creator. After all, everyone has a different point of view......"
"So, the feeling of this movie is, the attraction and creativity of the plot and the kind of subtle effect, 10 points, strong movie pictures and special effects, 10 points, beautiful two-man battle, 10 points, but in terms of the theme of this movie, I can only give 8 points...... Therefore, this movie can definitely be regarded as a classic in China, but there are some flaws. ”
―――――― there are a lot of comments similar to the above, it seems that everyone thinks that "Douwu" maintains Su Li's consistent level, but they are only slightly dissatisfied with what they want to explain in it...... However, despite this, the box office of "Douwu" is still climbing at a rather alarming rate.
The box office of "Douwu" on the second day was 35 million, the box office on the third day was 33 million, and at the end of the first week, the total box office of "Douwu" reached 180 million, which far exceeded all movies in the same period.
This kind of box office data was originally worthy of everyone's praise and dumbfounded, but this kind of box office is more or less complementary to Su Li's productions.
A week after the official release of "Fighting Martial Arts", there were comments about this movie, but they did not stop, but entered a deeper debate. Now there are two factions, one faction has expressed its unconditional support for the movie "Fighting Martial Arts", and the other faction Although no one has said that it will be difficult for Su Li's level to decline and never return to the top, they also have a lot of criticism about this movie.
The two sides waged a war for a while.
Because of this big controversy, "Fighting Martial Arts" also gained a lot of benefits, and the box office soared all the way.
It's just that this is not the result that Su Li wants.
This review war continues, with the two sides arguing and even some personal attacks on each other.
―――――― "Watching Movies" magazine came out with a film review of "Fighting Martial Arts" that strongly supported Su Li: "The real martial arts is self-improvement. ”
"Fighting Martial Arts" is a new work by director Su Li, a cutting-edge director who has conquered fans around the world in five years and stood at the top of the world. "Fighting Martial Arts" is another masterpiece of his work after "The Country Breaks the Mountains and Rivers". I watched the whole movie from beginning to end in the cinema, and saw Su Li's "Fighting Martial Arts" shot one by one. ”
"This movie still has Su Li's usual style - the fight scenes use messy and calm shots to render everything in the fight to the fullest, and the foreshadowing of the atmosphere has a master-level level, and it has a little relationship with Zhang Yimou in terms of color and scene setting, atmospheric and magnificent; The lens connection is quite sharp and dizzying...... Moreover, we can also see a lot of his progress in "Fighting Martial Arts". It's just that the most controversial issue recently is naturally the issue of the artistic surname of "Douwu". ”
"In all fairness, there are indeed a lot of subjective factors in the movie "Fighting Martial Arts", but if we think about it carefully, we can find that Su Li expounded some of the confusion of our time and the confusion of our nation in it. Moreover, Su Li did not preach in it, what we saw was only some breath revealed from the plot. ”
"Judging from the performance I have seen in "Fighting Martial Arts", what this movie wants to explain is some truth, the real martial arts is self-improvement."
"Yi Youyun;' Over the years, there have been discussions about whether a truly powerful martial art exists, whether it is useful, and whether it is spiritual opium...... And the movie "Fighting Martial Arts" tells us that the real martial arts is self-improvement, not spiritual sustenance, but spiritual belief...... Only by constantly striving for self-improvement can we have the power of progress......"
There are not too few people who support "Fighting Martial Arts", and such views are not too few, mainly from Su Li's conception and plot and thought-provoking thoughts. Yes, there are not many people who find that Su Li is too much about his personal feelings in it, but everyone thinks that the point he wants to express is really intricate, and there are not too many people who disagree with such views, strictly speaking.
However, the opposition naturally has its own reasons:
"Cinema was originally just a tool to entertain the public, and now that cinema has become an industry, this is even more illustrative. There are too many personal opinions in "Fighting Martial Arts", which is indeed not in line with the purpose and limitations of the movie. In Su Li's new films, we should try to avoid too subjective phenomena, not only to make our films better, but also to find breakthroughs ......"
