Chapter 401: Bad Reviews, Good Reviews

Under Chen Qiming's reminder, Liu Weiqiang finally reluctantly put down the microphone and announced the start of the movie.

Like the first part, the main focus of Fengyun is special effects.

At the beginning of the movie, a group of martial arts masters, including Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, were imprisoned in the dungeon.

The story unfolds.

Wu Ji Shen Gong Absolute God (Ren Dahua), led his son Jue Xin (Sun Yaowei) to wave the army in Middle-earth, and successively made the current emperor and a group of martial arts people to be captured, wanting to force the heroes to submit.

Even the martial arts myth Nameless (Zhang Yimou), Bu Jingyun (Chen Qiming) and Nie Feng (Liming) were defeated and injured when they joined forces to fight against the Absolute Godless.

Fortunately, under the guidance of the Pig Emperor (Lin Xue), Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun fled with Chu Chu (Xu Shujuan) to the door of life and death.

Later, the two of them were taught by the First Evil Emperor respectively, and their martial arts made great progress.

During this period, Nie Feng finally met another favorite second dream in his life (Li Ruotong).

However, the godless army came to the city, and Nie Feng did not hesitate to break through the barrier halfway in order to save the second dream.

It turned out that the real purpose of the godless invasion of the Central Plains was all related to the ancient tomb dragon mound of a royal family; Legend has it that whoever obtains the secret of the dragon mound can command the world and have the power to control Shenzhou and obey the common people.

The fate of the Central Plains is in jeopardy, and the survival of martial arts is even more imminent. Within the dragon mound, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng and the three of them launched a shocking battle of life and death.

After the war, Nie Feng, who had become a demon, took the dragon bone to Niejia Village and used the dragon bone to restore his nature.

Nie Feng broke the keel with the general at the last moment because of his desperation, recovered his demonic nature and fought fiercely with Bu Jingyun.

Nie Feng killed Chu Chu, Bu Jingyun disappeared after using the sword to get rid of the Demon Eye, and Nie Feng returned to his true nature.

Compared with the first part, the quality of this one has declined overall.

This is also something that can't be helped, throughout film history, except for a few movies, most sequel movies will have a decline in quality.

The reason for this is mainly on the audience's side.

The first part will raise the audience's taste, and if the second part does not break through in quality, it will naturally be considered by film critics to be a decline in quality.

The same goes for "Fengyun 2".

For the audience, this drama is impressive, and it is a special effects blockbuster worth watching.

But for film critics whose tastes have never been understood.

No breakthrough in quality means that quality is slippery.

Therefore, when the premiere of the day ended, there were many negative comments about "Fengyun 2" in the media the next day.

The first is the Oriental Daily film review.

"The storyline of the film is incomplete. In terms of storyline, there is a lack of necessary plot foreshadowing, and the story unfolds a little abruptly.

Most of the time is spent showing the charm of special effects, a 100-minute feature film, but the final ending does not end perfectly.

As a sequel movie, "Fengyun II" is really lacking in the explanation of the relationship between the characters and the connection between the development of the story, and the story is too simple and young. - Five points! ”

The subsequent Ming Pao also gave a not very friendly evaluation of "Fengyun 2".

"The arrangement of the film's cultural and martial arts drama is not reasonable enough.

Compared with the dazzling martial arts, literary dramas have almost become a foil, with only 200 lines in a hundred minutes.

There are still dozens of sentences that have been wasted by Xu Ruoxuan and Li Ruotong shouting "Brother Feng" and "Brother Yun", which makes people seriously suspect that the only role of the director in arranging these two vase roles is to go up and shout "brother".

The emotional drama is weak, and the love scenes in the film are also confusing, there is no foreshadowing, no plot, no climax, the rivers and lakes are still the same rivers and lakes, but there is no love.

The male protagonists, except for Chen Qiming's acting skills as always, everyone else, including Liming, are martial arts machines, even in the face of beautiful women, and their eyebrows are not moved.

In terms of the martial arts part, the last third of the film seems to be a little longer, and the ultimate boss hangs up in advance, making the film an exhibition match between the two brothers in the end, but the performance is not tai chi, but a landslide and a crack. Overall, the storytelling and emotional drama are insufficient! - Four points! ”

The evaluation of two professional film review media in a row was negative, which caused "Fengyun 2" to encounter serious word-of-mouth doubts after its release.

even made the audience who was originally watching begin to retreat.

But it's okay.

If there are negative reviews, there will naturally be good reviews.

On the third day after its release, Hong Kong Film Magazine finally issued a film review about the film.

And it is a very objective and positive positive review.

"It's a movie that's well worth going into the theater.

The film's combination of story and special effects is quite smooth, and the whole film is based on blue sets and special live action, with a lot of rich Chinese scene settings and costumes that are faithful to the original book.

In terms of stunt processing, the modern visual picture is perfectly combined with the elegant and light martial arts tradition of the new school of martial arts.

Combining local culture, computer stunts, solid martial arts and video language, the characters, plot and special effects are perfectly integrated to create a new martial arts world.

In addition, editor Chen Qiming has a good grasp of the direction of the story, so that technology can serve the content and characters, which is especially the premise of the success of the fantasy theme that requires special effects, and maximizes the three-dimensional three-dimensional sound and light image of the flat comic language, and is loyal to and higher than the original work to create his own style.

"Fengyun 2" has set a very good example of Hong Kong films' exquisite special effects and genre films.

Breaking the consistent restrictions of Hong Kong films and pushing Hong Kong films to a new peak will be another milestone for Hong Kong films.

created a very good beginning for the blockbuster of Hong Kong films! ”

Chen Qiming also doesn't know who wrote the article.

After reading this article, he himself was a little embarrassed.

It's a bit of an exaggeration.

Milestones, Peaks, Exemplary ......

These words were all pressed on "Fengyun 2", which made him quite ashamed.

In fact, after this film was completed, Chen Qiming watched the finished film and knew that this film was really inferior to the first one.

It's not that the shooting was bad.

The main reason is that when Chen Qiming was preparing this script, because he was too busy, he didn't polish the script carefully at all, and directly copied it according to the two Fengyun in the dream of 04 years.

You must know that in the dream, there is a gap of six years between the two plays of Fengyun.

In the past six years, the difference between the director and screenwriter has directly made the two films have a sense of separation.

This is also the reason why Oriental Daily said that the plots of the two movies did not match when they were evaluated.

However, although he is ashamed, Chen Qiming is still very happy that someone can give such a good evaluation.

Because this will have a very big impact on the box office of the movie.

Hong Kong Film Magazine was originally the most professional film weekly in Hong Kong, specializing in publishing film reviews.

In Hong Kong, the influence of this movie weekly is very large.

Its high score can really affect the box office of the movie.
