Chapter 464: The Great Wall Is Here
Tao Heng, as a film critic, has read countless films and has his own judgment on movies.
This gluttonous attack on the Great Wall is very gorgeous, shocking, and the special effects are absolutely speechless, worthy of being created by the Hollywood team.
But the war picture is a bit strange, especially the armor of the army, which is colorful and the way of killing gluttony is also strange.
If you like it, you will like it very much, but if you don't like it, you may feel a little child's play.
Anyway, Tao Heng couldn't understand why Zhang Yange wanted to set the color of the army so gorgeously, and there were all kinds of colors.
Is this necessary?
Is this the unique aesthetic of a great director?
Tao Heng had a strange feeling of watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in a trance.
The movie goes on.
The imprisoned William and Perrault were released in the chaos by a Westerner like them, who took part in the Great Wall counterattack and used their skills to kill several gluttons.
After the war, they were temporarily trusted by the Forbidden Army and regained their freedom.
Before the Westerner who released them appeared, his name was Ballard.
Ballard also came to the East to find the recipe for black powder, but unfortunately he was caught by the Forbidden Army and trapped here.
He told William and Perrault that he had successfully learned the recipe for black powder, but that he couldn't leave the Wall, hoping that the two of them could help him.
Next, there is a literary drama, after actor Matt Damon gets along with Lin Mei again, the two of them actually have feelings and start to fall in love ambiguously.
Seeing this, Tao Heng's brows furrowed.
If the previous plot just made him feel wrong, then this plot is an out-and-out failure in Tao Heng's opinion.
The emotional drama between these two people is very pale and thin, not to mention, the key is that you actually let a foreigner fall in love with the well-known national goddess, Super White Fumeilin Red Sleeves.
Who can be comfortable watching this, is there no one in the country?
There may be some people who don't care, but there are definitely people who feel uncomfortable.
This plot will inevitably cause controversy, and at the same time, it will also dissuade many people.
The film continues.
Monsters feed on humans, appearing every sixty years, and the Great Wall is the only line of defense to defend them.
If this line of defense is breached, the people will be reduced to food, and there will be heavy casualties.
In the fierce battle, the general played by the famous domestic actor Zhang Hanyu died, and in the dark night, all the troops were covered with white cloths, standing on the Great Wall, and flying Kong Ming lanterns together to commemorate the general.
Tao Heng frowned.
Although this is a very pessimistic and heroic scene, he is not moved at all?
Zhang Yange's handling here is a little rough.
Next, the military advisor played by Andy Lau discovered the weakness of gluttony, it turned out that gluttony was afraid of magnets, and the reason why William was able to cut gluttony at the beginning was because he had magnets on his body.
In order to test this hypothesis, they needed to capture a glutton, and in the process of capturing the gluttony alive, William could have taken advantage of the chaos to leave, but he gave up.
Subsequently, the Shadowless Forbidden Army used this captured gluttony alive to successfully verify the conjecture of the military advisor, and it turned out that the magnet could really suppress the gluttony.
Just when the forbidden army was rejoicing at the news, a discovery made them frightened.
It turned out that the gluttony had secretly dug a passage under the Great Wall a long time ago, and was heading towards the capital Bianliang.
At this critical time of survival, Lin Mei played by Lin Hongsleeve took William, the military advisor, and more than a dozen soldiers to ride the Kong Ming lantern and flew all the way to Bianliang to fight with gluttony.
But the amount of gluttony is so great that they can't resist it.
Seeing that Bianliang was about to become a hell on earth and a gluttonous canteen, the military advisor came up with a solution.
It turns out that there is a beast king in the gluttony, and as long as the beast king is killed, all the gluttony will die.
In order to kill the Beastmaster, they decided to tie gunpowder to the gluttony they had caught earlier, and then release it to find the Beastmaster.
The plan went very smoothly, after the gluttony was released, he acted instinctively and took the initiative to find the beastmaster, and the protagonist William detonated the inner ghost gluttony with explosives tied to his body at a critical moment, killing the beastmaster.
After the death of the Beastmaster, the rest of the gluttony fell, and this terrible catastrophe finally ended.
In the end, the protagonist William did not choose to stay on the Great Wall with General Lin Mei played by Lin Hongsleeve, nor did he choose to take away the black powder formula that he had been thinking about before, but chose to leave the Great Wall with his little friends and wander the world.
At this point, the movie ends and the lights in the screening room come on.
"It's okay, it's shocking."
"Seeing so many big names, it's worth the ticket price."
"What's the matter, doesn't the propaganda say that this is a magical masterpiece of ancient costumes, the whole process is a Western magic flavor, and I don't feel the ancient culture at all."
"The colors are gorgeous, and there are a lot of big scenes."
"So-so."
The response of the audience at the scene is okay, after all, it is the work of the great director Zhang Yange, created by Hollywood's top special effects team, the quality is definitely not low, and the lineup is also gorgeous, it is definitely worth watching.
But if you want to say it's wonderful, it doesn't seem to be.
Anyway, Tao Heng felt weird the whole time.
He has a hunch that the controversy of this movie may not be small.
On the National Day, there are a lot of people watching movies.
Soon, there was feedback on the two movies on the Internet.
Netizens generally praised "The Beginning".
"Burst, this movie really exploded."
"I held my breath the whole time, for fear of breaking that tense and exciting atmosphere."
"From the first reincarnation to the last reincarnation, every death makes people's hearts tremble."
"The best domestic suspense film, from the first explosion to the last awakening, makes people nervous and breathless at every moment."
"It's the first time I've seen such a dazzling heroine, Li Shiqing is a weak little girl, but she is brave and strategic, and Xiao Heyun checked the passengers in the car together, and every time she paid the price of her own life, but she didn't give up until the last turnaround."
"I won't hide it from everyone, when the last time Aunt Pressure Cooker stabbed Xiao Heyun's body with a knife, my heart also died."
"It's a good thing that the director didn't choose to send a knife, otherwise I would have been really angry."
"It's hard to imagine that this is a movie made by Xu Nan, and I even suspect that I watched a fake movie myself."
"Who said it wasn't, before I first started watching the movie, I thought it was another bad movie, and I thought about something different on the National Day, but I was shocked by the content of the movie."
"Believe it, I even watched it three times in a row to figure out the details of the movie."
"This is one of the best movies in the National Day file, there is no one."
On the other hand, the movie "The Great Wall" has a good review, but it is also a little controversial.
"The scene is gorgeous, the lineup is gorgeous, almost every character is a famous movie star, a wonderful movie."
"My family has contributed wonderful performances in it, and everyone must support it."
"My fawn also contributed a wonderful performance inside, please support."
"Anyway, the colors are gorgeous, the visuals are very good, and the gluttonous modeling is also exquisite, but I always feel that I can't get enough of it."
"A good popcorn movie, the lineup alone is worth the ticket price."
"I watched this movie for the stars in it, and it turned out that this movie was still very exciting."
"Hehe, in the two-hour plot, Lin Hongsleeve and a female general account for more than half of the plot in it, more than Matt Damon, a Hollywood actor, so many big names just want to support a Lin Hongsleeve, it really deserves to be the top white rich beauty."
"Zhang Yange was able to perfectly integrate the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with the magic blockbuster, everyone should really applaud."
"I don't have a place to vomit when there are many slots, why the protagonist is in love with Lin Hongsleeve won't say, I just want to ask how it is possible for gluttony to dig such a long passage from the ground, they are all excavators."
"It's still worth watching, the big scenes and stars in it alone are worth the ticket price, as for the plot, let's see the wisdom of the benevolent."
The media also did not miss the good opportunity of the holiday and seized the time to report.
"The Great Wall hosted the biggest premiere ever, and many stars appeared in costumes. 》
"At the beginning of the low-key launch, whether Xu Nan is brewing anything. 》
"Traffic stars Lin Hongsleeve, Lu Han and other fans raised funds to charter the venue and invite people to watch the movie. 》
"The beginning VS the Great Wall, who wins and loses at the box office on the first day. 》
"Zhang Yange vowed to break the box office record on the first day. 》
"The Great Wall has received rave reviews, and the audience exclaimed that it was wonderful. 》
Audience: I can't breathe when I watch the beginning. 》
The National Day holiday, the long-lost relaxation time, all over the country is very lively, and the people are happy to play.
The eyes of the entertainment industry are focused on several movies that are being screened.
"The proportion of "The Great Wall" is so high, more than half, how long has it been since I encountered this situation."
"I don't look at how fierce the lineup is."
"The premiere of "The Great Wall" is even more exaggerated, everyone in the entertainment industry who has a little weight has gone, and there are not so many people at the film festival."
"I just went to the cinema, and 80% of the people are watching "The Great Wall", and the box office of this movie on the first day is definitely not low, and it may break the record."
"What about the beginning?"
"I just finished watching it, the quality exploded, it is definitely the best domestic suspense film ever, Xu Nan really subverted my impression of him this time."
"Brother, you're not joking with me, how can the quality of Xu Nan's movies be good."
""The Beginning" on the Internet is indeed a good reception, and even Zhang Yange's "The Great Wall" can't be compared."
"I don't believe that the quality of Xu Nan's movies will be good, and the praise is probably brushed."
"The comments on the Internet can only be used as a reference, there is too much moisture, if you want to know the quality of the movie, you still have to look at the box office."
"That's right, public opinion can deceive people, but the box office can't, and the audience pays real money to watch movies, which is more convincing than anything else."
"Look at the first-day box office, when the first-day box office comes out, everything will be clear, and there is no point in arguing now."
