…

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are quite lively.

As soon as mid-November passed, the domestic historical blockbuster "The Holocaust", the Hollywood blockbuster "The Magician", the Hollywood cartoon "Ice Age", the Hollywood blockbuster "Robot 2018", and the costume comedy "Ouchi Secret Agent", which gathered a large number of domestic stars under the guidance of Wang Rixiang, began to log in to the Chinese New Year file one after another, and staged a very fierce box office battle.

But—

And that's not even the most intense.

The most intense was after mid-December.

On December 15, the Hollywood war blockbuster "Special Forces" was released.

On December 16, the Hollywood adventure comedy film "Museum 2" was released.

On December 17, "Escape 2", the sequel to "Escape", which achieved good results in the first half of the year, was released.

On December 18, "The Siege" was released.

On December 19, "Manhunt" was released.

And at this time, the remnants of films such as "The Holocaust" have not yet subsided.

The key is that this is only a famous movie, even those unknown movies are counted, and this year's Chinese New Year file is full of dozens of movies - according to statistics, there are as many as 53 Chinese movies, and there are as many as 18 imported films.

In the Chinese New Year file, domestic comedy has always been a genre that is more popular with the market and audiences.

is like "Ouchi Secret Agent", which is actually a big bad movie in his bones, extremely vulgar, which can be described as having no connotation at all, and it is not particularly funny.

But even so, "Ouchi's Secret Agent" still received a lot of box office.

And the domestic blockbusters released in the Chinese New Year file are competing for hegemony with each move.

"The Holocaust", the picture is very tense, and the sensitive topic of the famous massacre in history has been stirred, and it has gained a lot of attention before it was released.

"Siege" is very simple, very direct, and very sincere.

"Escape 2", not only is it still starring Ji Zhaode and Zhang Zhiwei The original cast of "Escape", which has a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, is the most likely to use, but also spent a lot of money to invite Hollywood action star Shang Ge to act as the opponent of Ji Zhaode, Zhang Zhiwei and others, and several scenes are still filmed in Siam, which is like an international blockbuster.

As for "Pursuit", starring Xu Kai, who has been known as the most popular action superstar in China recently, and Zhu Bing, the first beauty in China, this film not only has a high density of chase and fighting, but also mixed with a variety of jokes and blends, and the strong entertainment of ingenuity and fun has also created a distinctive action comedy characteristic.

In other words, "Manhunt" can be classified as a comedy movie.

This is really not the "Manhunt" crew for the sake of the box office to let "Manhunt" rely on comedy movies.

Under the guidance of Lin Da and Tang Jiping, Xu Kai is no longer the grandmaster Huang Feihong in "The Grandmaster", but the policeman Yu Jiaju, who has made a lot of unreasonable and unexpected actions and created a lot of comedic effects.

So "Manhunt" is indeed a comedy movie, although there is no lack of serious parts in it.

In the past, the Chinese New Year files were all domestic blockbusters singing the leading roles, and imported films were rare to see.

But in this year's Chinese New Year, the imported films are not to be outdone - although the number of imported films is still not as many as domestic films, in terms of quality and investment, Hollywood blockbusters still have an absolute advantage.

All in all, this year's Chinese New Year file has seen a trend of blockbuster blockbusters fighting for hegemony.

But—

After a brutal fight, there is still one movie that stands out.

This movie is "Pursuit" starring Xu Kai.

To be honest, there are many reasons why "Manhunt" can beat other films to stand out.

First of all, it must be that "Manhunt" is well filmed.

In addition to Xu Kai's various dazzling tricks and funny, the excitement in "Manhunt" also created a precedent for Xu Kai to perform dangerous scenes with his life, and Zhu Bing and Dong Ni's performances in the film also have their own merits.

The film can be said to be a milestone in Xu Kai's transition from the grandmaster of the Republic of China to the positioning of a modern police hero.

Xu Kai broke through the limits of the human body again and again, and the difficult movements he staged were breathtaking.

The second is that "Manhunt" has a huge advantage in domestic comedy films.

It's also a coincidence that in this year's Chinese New Year file, there are only two strong domestic comedy movies - "Ouchi Secret Agent" and "Pursuit", and the rest of the domestic comedy movies are not worth mentioning.

And "Ouchi's Secret Agent" is another recognized big bad movie.

And, when "Manhunt" was released, "Ouchi's Secret Agent" had been in theaters for more than 20 days.

Therefore, for "Manhunt", "Ouchi Secret Agent" has no competitiveness at all.

Therefore, it can be said that the entire Chinese New Year file is "Manhunt", a domestic comedy movie.

If you want to watch a domestic comedy movie, you can only choose "Manhunt".

This gives Manhunt a huge advantage.

Again, peers set off well.

Not to mention imported films, in the Chinese New Year file, it has always been the world of domestic films, and no matter how strong Hollywood movies are, they must be three points weaker first, becoming the choice of the second echelon.

Among the domestic movies, the ones that can be used are "Siege", "Escape 2" and "Massacre".

Let's start with "The Holocaust".

First of all, its theme is not suitable for watching during the Happy New Year, when the family is happy.

The key is that Lu Xiaojian is too self-righteous, the good theme is bad, he makes excuses for war criminals, and is scolded by many people, to paraphrase the words of a film critic: "We don't need to be so calm, it's much worse than we imagined, we don't feel like a city at all, the field of vision is too small, and the plot is blunt and scattered, I'm really disappointed, Lu Xiaojian's brain is broken!" ”

It can be said that the reputation of "The Holocaust" has completely collapsed.

In addition, it was released relatively early.

"The Holocaust" did not pose a threat to "Manhunt" at all.

Let's talk about "Escape 2".

I have to say that in order to make money, Wang Bin and others are really sincere.

spent hundreds of millions of dollars to invite Shangge, and went to Siam to shoot, trying to put on the skin of an international blockbuster.

The male and female protagonists Ji Zhaode and Zhang Zhiwei are also very hard in "Escape 2".

Especially Zhang Zhiwei.

In particular, she finally jumped on the streets of Siam, drove a motorcycle and chased the train by helicopter in several highlights, all of which were extremely dangerous, and she was personally involved, which was very exciting.

But this can't hide the failure in "Escape 2".

Like Shang Ge's 1vs4 in the final battle, he is far less wonderful than Xu Kai's 1vs4 in "Escape" - in addition to Shangge's skills are far inferior to Xu Kai, but also because the action scenes in China and the West are very different.

Like "Escape 2", there is no super exciting action shot of jumping 8 meters in "Escape".

is like the second male in "Escape 2", Xiao Xianrou and the relationship Toren Lili are like playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, and they have no sense of existence at all.

In short, "Escape 2" is not worse than "Escape".

The only one who can become the opponent of "Pursuit" is "Siege" starring Zhen Universe.

The smooth story, twists and turns of the plot, the emotional performance, the noble feelings and the simple touch of "The Siege" are what the blockbusters that have been criticized in the past have tried to do but failed to do, so that many viewers are not moved by the tragedy of the plot, but because of the love of father and son (daughter), friends, teachers and students, and lovers.

But it may be because Xu Kai's popularity is higher than Zhen Universe, or it may be because he has the advantage of the subject matter.

After a few days of head-to-head battles between "Manhunt" and "Siege", "Manhunt" is still better after all.

As a result, one step at a time, one step at a time, "Manhunt" slowly began to ride into the dust......
