Chapter 29: Hanging
"The Demon Chapter" is very violent!
The pre-sale broke the record, and the fastest Chinese film broke 200 million, which seems to have broken the record of "The Great Wall", and the scene of a glimpse of the mountains is right in front of you.
Then, in the evening, "The Wandering Earth" attendance soared...
This really is a triumph of movie quality!
"The Wandering Earth" was the first to score, including a Douban score of 8.2 points, a Time.com score of 8.3 points, and a Maoyan score of 9.8 points...
word-of-mouth hanged "Fu Demon Chapter", and the latter's Douban score was 5.9 points - the opening score directly failed!
Frankly speaking, there is nothing new in "The Demon Chapter":
The story progression mode of single-line narration has no bright spots in the flat and direct narrative;
The suspense clues are also very thin, the emotional line of master and apprentice, the emotional changes between Tang Seng and Sun Wukong are so abrupt that they have no friends.
One second he was shouting that he was going to kill the master, but the next second he was a master and apprentice joint counter-plot...
It's embarrassing with a capital letter.
And as the only relationship between men and women, Tang Seng and Xiaoshan's emotional clues died before they started!
The thin plot, the mediocre way the movie unfolds, and the simple story structure have made the audience unbearable and hard to believe that this is a movie made up by the star.
The scale of the propaganda is huge, and the quality of the presentation does not meet expectations, the stronger the energy of the backlash!
Maybe "Fu Demon Chapter" has a unique dark aesthetic with special effects, and many people can like it, but now... The voice you like can't suppress the voice you hate.
On the other hand, "The Wandering Earth"...
For sci-fi fans, when the magnificent planetary engine is unfolded in front of them, everyone has climaxed...
It's also friendly to the general audience – the family line of father and son's ambiguity runs throughout.
The earth has suffered an unprecedented disaster, and everyone works together to run away with the earth;
Then, the Wandering Earth Project encountered the first wave of difficulties, and human unity, hard work, and saturation rescue; Countless people sacrificed one after another, and finally turned evil into good fortune, and the earth embarked on a journey again...
The plot is very solid!
Moreover, although "The Wandering Earth" is detached from Liu Cixin's original work, the text itself continues Da Liu's worldview.
Liu's text and Hollywood's genre narrative represent two diametrically opposed worldviews.
Da Liu believes that survival is the first thing, and only after survival can we talk about civilization, and the existence and continuation of life is not a matter of course, and it needs to pay a lot of price and bear a lot of suffering;
Hollywood genre films will think that faith comes first, and it is faith that brings life, and it is faith that helps the protagonist defeat the enemy and come to the promised land...
Therefore, the final solution to the dilemma of "Interstellar Exploration" is to use it to generate electricity - if you let a Chinese director shoot like this, you will definitely be sprayed to death!
In addition, "The Wandering Earth" really shows a lot of things that only Chinese understand, such as "saturation rescue"!
In some American blockbusters, various national crises, human crises, earth crises, and cosmic crises basically rely on a few people from the protagonist group to save...
Are you kidding?
Rescue work should be foolproof saturation rescue.
In order to protect the driver who sacrificed the flint, there was a rescue team that pulled the flint on foot and froze to death, there were three ignitions of the equatorial steering engine, and there were other people to make up for it after the plane crashed, and it was not only Wu Jing and Mao Zi who planned to leave the warehouse in the space station, and the idea of igniting Jupiter was not the first thing the protagonist and his party thought of...
This is the desperate rescue of all mankind, everyone is fighting, both the rescue team and the scientific team are basically IQ online!
Hollywood-style movies, "Pacific Rim 2" and "Independence Day 2", which have been prepared for decades in response to the crisis, have been stabbed through by a wave of people, so they can only rely on a few protagonists to hit the luck, and the last few people kill each other's bosses and the other party will collectively take a break...
The plot really can't stand scrutiny!
The main thing is that everyone's expectations for "The Wandering Earth" are not so high...
It's true.
In science fiction movies, the audience is of course most concerned about special effects, objectively speaking, the visual effects of "The Wandering Earth" are certainly unprecedented in domestic films;
Even in the global market, as long as you don't use Hollywood's top visual effects movies as a comparison, the average level of "The Wandering Earth" is first-class, and individual shots can definitely be shocking!
As for the actors' performances...
Whether it is the actor Qu Chuxiao or Zhao Jinmai, including Wu Jing, Wu Mengda, Zhang Jing (the captain of the rescue team)...
can't say that the acting skills are superb or anything, but at least they have completed everything that a good actor in a genre film should do!
Hanging and beating the actors of "Fu Demon Chapter"...
……
"Thank you again to all the creative team who are serious about filming, they are real filmmakers. Thank you also to the warriors who always rush into the theater at the first time, many viewers step on your corpse to avoid bad movies every time they watch the movie..."
"Okay, the situation is clear, I can tell the truth..."
"In the North American film market, the box office champion always belongs to the big-budget big-scene movie!
Our market is special, because these movies belong to Hollywood, and domestic films can only use the three periods of domestic film protection month, New Year's Day and Spring Festival to win more box office! ”
"Long before 'Earthfire' was launched, I was thinking, why can't we make a blockbuster that is not inferior to Hollywood movies to get the box office?"
"In recent years, big IP + small fresh meat has become popular, big IP + big director + small fresh meat... Fan movies are flooding the entire film market, and a lot of people have asked me before, why don't I do this? Obviously, I did "Twilight" in Hollywood, so I should know the path of fan movies..."
"Yes, I do understand, and I also know that there is no difference between the 100 yuan of the fans and the 100 yuan of the audience... But the fan movie belongs to the limited version,
TiMi is a leading company in the industry and a benchmark, if even TiMi has made fan movies, then... What about mainstream movies? ”
"The success of "Earthfire" made me see the prospect of a big production, so I continued to produce "The Wandering Earth", and by the way, "Total War: The Great Wall" was developed... No one in the market disappointed me, and many people don't know the significance of "The Great Wall" approaching 3.2 billion box office, that is, the mainland market is enough to accommodate a movie with an investment of 1 billion~! ”
"This year's Spring Festival stalls, it seems that immortals are fighting, but it is actually the dimensionality reduction blow of "The Wandering Earth" to other domestic films!"
"To put it bluntly, my box office expectation for "The Wandering Earth" is more than 4 billion!"
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, after Shen Xudong watched today's theater schedule, he directly posted a Weibo...
Oh, the theatrical film schedule, "The Wandering Earth" got 35% of the film schedule, and "The Demon Chapter" dropped to 28%...
Well, close to the 20,000-game film gap...
If it weren't for the nearly 3-hour length of "The Wandering Earth", it would be estimated that the gap would be even greater!
As for other movies, the film schedule of "Kung Fu Yoga" has risen to 18% - the oral (fraud) reputation (fraud) marketing of "Kung Fu Yoga" is really good, similar to 'word-of-mouth counterattack', 'family carnival, a movie suitable for the whole family to watch together!' ’
I don't know how much Sparkle Roll spent, anyway, the whole network praises...
