Shen Xudong is telling the truth, he really thinks that the box office performance of "1942" is already very good!

In the original time and space, the final box office of "1942" was 370 million.

What is the concept?

This box office ranked 11th in the overall ranking of mainland released films in 2012 and 4th in domestic films. In addition to those foreign blockbusters, there are three domestic films with a higher box office than "1942": "Thai Embarrassment", "Painted Skin 2" and "Zodiac".

That's a good result.

According to Feng Xiaogang's own words, 'When I saw Liu Zhenyun back then, I had the idea of making a movie. The idea eventually came true...'

In other words, his dream has come true!

The degree of completion is also good, there is no need to scold the audience...

The Hollywood epic film is also the last one, and Ridley Scott's two epic films "Heavenly Dynasty" and "Robin Hood" hit the street so much that no one dared to ask him to film...

With "Prometheus", he returned to the wave of blood, and filmed "Pharaoh and the Gods", and continued to hit the streets, and he didn't say that the audience didn't deserve such words!

Theoretically speaking, the director is for the film, the film is for the market, and the market is created by the audience, so the audience can never go wrong!

Shen Xudong finally said: "I have always believed that film has never been an elegant art, and any of us who are attracted to it I think is because we see ourselves in it, whether happy, excited, sad, moved, or shocked... That's why movies will be accepted by the public! ”

"Don't educate the audience... The audience knows so much more than we do! Here's how I see it! ”

The reporters had to ask again, Shen Xudong waved his hand and stopped being interviewed...

……

In the screening hall, "Thai Embarrassment" was officially screened.

Shen Xudong has watched the movie at least ten times a long time ago, and he knows the plot well, so his attention is not on the movie screen, but more on every burden shaken out, and the audience's reaction later.

It's not bad, basically every burden has a repercussion...

Xu Zheng was a little nervous, after all, it was the second movie he directed and acted in, and he was bowing his head and whispering something to Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang was expressionless...

In fact, in life, Wang Baoqiang is neither funny nor extroverted, quite boring, and brings a bit of a star.

This doesn't matter, Shen Xudong absolutely believes that he is a good person!

You can see for yourself, drug abuse, cheating, tax evasion, and the three-piece house collapse set, Bao Qiang has not touched it.

Playing a big name, being disrespectful, and having poor acting skills, this common ridicule is none of Wang Baoqiang.

As long as he had, his ex-wife and ex-agent would have shouted with a loudspeaker, and they would not pose for a photo to spread rumors about his domestic violence...

Pull it back, the beginning of "Thai Embarrassment":

"Youba succeeded!"

"I don't think you're going to get better."

"Don't you have a tooth ache?"

"You Ya (ya) only hurts!"

The little baggage of the opening...

This thing is actually a prop for the movie, which is a bit similar to the "divergent terminal" of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb"...

"If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the divergent terminal guarantees Qin Fen's pocket, and the oil bully is the opportunity for Xu Lang to finally return to the family, in addition, the entire plot of "Thai Embarrassment" revolves around the commercial authorization of the oil tyrant...

The media at the scene was more or less surprised.

They basically watched "1942" before, and the Chinese New Year movies of previous years have always watched Feng's comedies, and their signboards are playing loudly!

But this year, Director Feng doesn't play comedy cannons or tell jokes, he tortures history and reflects on the nation...

The other films in the Lunar New Year file are boring, and the audience is simply dissatisfied!

Therefore, even though "Jianghu on the Sword" has been released for two weeks, the single-day box office still has more than 8 million, and I just think it is a qualified comedy.

Now that "Thai Embarrassment" is out...

Then came the first product placement advertisement - Wang Baoqiang appeared: "I am making scallion pancakes, and my Weibo name is Baoji Cake Shop... Do you have a Weibo? Let's fan each other? ”

"My phone is off!"

"That's okay, get off the plane and then powder each other..."

Well, Chiguoguo's advertised on Weibo - people gave 5 million!

Followed by Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo and the absurd things in Thailand, shemales, spas, bed vibrations... In fact, they are all quite low-level jokes, but they really aroused the attention of the audience.

Also, Wang Baoqiang's acting is a bit neurotic, and he always feels a little too strong.

But if you have watched "Hong Kong", you will feel that Wang Baoqiang's performance is just right!

……

In fact, "Thai Embarrassment" is just a relatively good road comedy.

From a professional point of view, the biggest shortcoming of "Thai Embarrassment" is that it has no new ideas.

The whole plot can be guessed, the story structure is exactly the same as that of Hollywood road comedies, and even the same as the first "People in Thailand", with a fast-paced beginning, dense jokes in the middle, and sensational at the end.

Its quality and volume can't support a box office close to 1.3 billion.

But... It touched the movie-watching desert of the Lunar New Year stalls, the original time and space, and the whole family Lunar New Year stalls, except for "Thai Embarrassment", which is also the eldest brother's "Zodiac", which can be regarded as a movie that conforms to the atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.

Both films did great at the box office.

"Zodiac" is actually quite average - compared to the first two parts of "Asian Flying Eagle".

After all, when filming "Zodiac", Cheng Long was 58 years old, although he could play, he definitely couldn't do a lot of thrilling actions before, in addition, the comedy of "Zodiac" was not dense, although the scene was shocking, but the action scenes were fake...

Although it has set a new box office high for Jackie Chan movies, the... The movie itself isn't great...

By the way, there is a plot in "Thai Embarrassment" that directly made Shen Xudong laugh - in the plot, everyone broke into the Thai gangster trading scene one after another, because of a misunderstanding, which led to a gang fight, Huang Bo thought that Xu Zheng had an affair with his wife and cuckolded himself, Wang Baoqiang saw that things were getting bigger, and dropped the statue with a "bang", and shouted: "Don't quarrel." Isn't it just a green hat? ”

Xu Lang, played by Xu Zheng, is full of incredibleness in the movie...

It always feels like he knows what to say!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Baoqiang said righteously, word by word: "My mother said, take a step back, the sea and the sky." ”

This Nima... God prophesied!

The more I thought about it, the funnier it became, Quack Zhile, someone slapped him behind him, and when he looked back, it was Fan Xiaopang who made a cameo.

Oh, the big star in "Thai Embarrassment" directly called Fan Xiaopang...

In fact, Zhao Yanzi is more suitable - "Huanzhu Gege"!

But... Shen Xudong has no friendship with Zhao Yanzi...

"What's wrong with you? Just makes you laugh? ”

"Nothing... I thought of something..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand, and then continued to watch the movie...

At the end of the film, when Fan Xiaopang appeared, the atmosphere of the whole scene reached a climax, especially the audience in the back row directly shouted Fan Xiaopang's name...

There was a real sense of surprise!

A comedy film, just qualified, and still has some sense of surprise, there is no reason not to be successful.
