Everyone was very late that night, and as for what exactly happened, some things are better not to write than to write.

At this time, "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" has also been released on the first day of release in the world, and at this time, the ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes in North America have also been obtained.

The rating on IMDb is 7.2 for the time being, and the rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 3.5, with professional film critics in Rotten Tomatoes generally scoring 2-3 points, while the ratings of ordinary viewers are generally 3-5 points.

Why is this happening? Just look at what these professionals and ordinary viewers have to say.

Katie Richie, Vanity Fair: Although this is a classic story of oriental mythology, people have defeated many monsters along the way. Ho's narrative and images and fights are as good as ever, but I personally don't know much about Eastern religions, and I can't understand this kind of values, so I can only give it a score of 2.5.

Kevin Maher, The Times: What is the best director I've ever met outside of Hollywood, his films are very exciting, both in terms of narrative and imagery, and they are all ideological, which is a rare side. However, this movie of oriental mythology and stories is difficult for mainstream Western audiences to understand the connotation, but watching the picture and fighting is still very exciting, give 3 points.

Leonard Mardin, Leonardin.com: I've tried to understand the mythological system of the East, but I'm sorry, it's hard. Therefore, from a technical point of view, the overall narrative of the film is complete, the character creation part is successful, the special effects are not criticized, and the scenes are grand and imaginative. So, give 2.5 points.

Christy Lemire, Christian Website: Can't understand what Eastern religious ideas are expressed, let yourself die just to save people? This? Well, I guess no one will accept such a stupid way. In addition to this, everything else is quite lively and good-looking, especially the 3D effect, I think He has learned the essence of Hollywood, give it a score of 1.5.

Adam Naman, "Global Airlines": This is probably a movie that is suitable for watching on an airplane, because the characters in it are always flying in the sky, and they don't understand why a person can transform into a different creature, where does their physical body go? Allowing yourself to die to save someone who wants to eat you? Forgive me for being unacceptable. This value is distorted and I can only give it 1 point.

……

This is the mainstream evaluation of most professional film critics, but the evaluation of ordinary audiences is another matter.

Adam Fille: "It's visually stunning, the storyline is addictive, and the worst thing I could have done was to take the kids with me, and they're completely in love." They kept asking me why this monkey man had such a skill. I tried to tell them the story of the Monkey King of the East, well, the Monkey King is a cool story...... The movie gives 5 points, it's too good. ”

OllieSuave-007: "It's an epic movie, epic graphics and special effects, epic characters and plot. Well, I'm running out of words, and I shudder at the cinema, it's so shocking that I don't know what words to put into it. The Monkey King, that's cool. It's just that the monk in it was very hateful at first, he didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and it was clear that the Monkey King was helping him. However, the fact that he was going to save people in the end did show me that I had misunderstood him...... The movie gives 5 points, I like it so much. ”

JASONLOCK-11608: "Interesting fantasy adventure, I have to admit that Ho once again captured my heart, this movie is so cool. A monkey can easily lift the mountain that weighs on him, and can easily kill a huge tiger and an oriental dragon. The coolest thing is to defeat the pigs, and there is a sand man? I was so sad when he was misunderstood and driven away by the monks. However, in the end, he came back to save the monk, and the surprise was that the woman turned out to be a big skeleton, wow, this setting is fantastic. Give 4.5 points. ”

Marsecot: "The fantasy journey of people, monkeys, pigs, and sand blue people, as well as the spiritual redemption of giant skeletons, is very interesting, and Ho's movies can always surprise people......"

……

The first-day box office in North America and other parts of the world has also been released, and the data performance is quite good.

First day in North America: $7.17 million, the rest of the world $24.53 million, mainly in Asia, which contributed more than $10 million.

Among them, the island country won 776 million yen, equivalent to 9.02 million US dollars, on the first day.

South Korea won 634 million won, equivalent to 590,000 US dollars, on the first day.

Hong Kong won 10.34 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 1.32 million US dollars, on the first day.

Taiwan Province NT$11.5 million, US$390,000.

Singapore......

In other words, the influence of "Journey to the West" in Asia is very large, after all, this is a classic story that has been circulated in Asia for hundreds of years, and He Fang's "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is really not bad on the whole, and even very good.

"[Three Dozen White Bone Spirits] premiere box office exceeded 100 million in China, and the world is improving"

"Comments from all sides gathered, [three dozen white bone spirits] generally responded well"

"The new height of the movie box office, where should the prophecy of breaking 100 million in a single day"

"Asian countries are generally optimistic about the trend of [Journey to the West] stories, and telling traditional stories well is a new way out for Chinese films"

"It turns out that [Three Dozen White Bone Spirits] is not a big bad movie for some people"

……

Early in the morning, all the media began to sing "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", because there are some things that you can't cover up if you want to.

There may be some domestic audiences who are deeply affected by the TV drama version of "Journey to the West" and feel that "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is not expected to be a big bad movie, but the overseas box office of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" proves that this appropriate adaptation is indeed in line with the international market.

As soon as the global first-day box office and overseas related comments came out, the publicity team of Tuanhuo Culture did not stop, and directly took screenshots and translated these things and threw these things on the domestic Internet.

Let those who scold "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" see what people outside think, this method is very useful, because now people in China believe the words of foreigners.

Chinese people, you tell him that you can't convince him, as long as the foreigner says a word, they will be convinced.

Even if they criticized, Tuanhuo Culture did not filter out, but took screenshots and translated them all.

"Wow, it turns out that Westerners see He Fang and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" this way, it feels so novel."

"Haha, 'The fantastic journey of people, monkeys, pigs, and sand blue people, and the spiritual salvation of giant skeletons', such comments are really laughing to death. The foreigner gave me a new understanding of the characters of "Journey to the West", the redemption of the giant skeleton, and I couldn't laugh anymore. ”

"Most professionals criticize religious, philosophical, and thematic ideas, and they can't understand this kind of philosophical thought, so they criticize. But there are also things that are unanimously agreed upon, and the narrative, special effects, and performances are still good. I find them very objective and unbiased. ”

That is, those so-called professional film critics in China just take people's money and then comment indiscriminately, to see how objective people are, and they can't understand the thoughts, they just say it, and they agree with what they think is excellent. is not like a group of people in China who criticized "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" from head to toe, and then proved that this is a big bad movie. In fact, I went to see it, and there are indeed some flaws, but I will never agree that this is a big bad movie. ”

"Foreigners' children also like to watch Sun Wukong, do they know what is going on with Sun Wukong?"

"Some things don't need to be studied too deeply, as long as the characters come out, everyone will like them. The image of Monkey King and the simple practice of fighting bad guys can make children like it at a glance, just like children watch Ultraman and Transformers. ”

Of course, in addition to positive interpretations of the international box office and public opinion, there are also some people who bite "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" as a big bad movie, there is nothing to do about such people, and such people must be allowed to exist.

Because you can't eliminate it, then learn to live with it.

This kind of person is like ...... He Fang saw a young lady from France who had been in China for many years on the Internet in another time and space.

When she heard Chinese netizens ask her to sing a song called "Elaine", she was stunned, she hadn't heard it. Then Chinese netizens said, how can "Elaine" not be heard? The world's most famous French pop song, many Chinese love to listen to it.

This French lady said that she hadn't heard it, and then she went to check it, and it turned out to be the theme song in a French TV series, and this TV series was very bad, and many people in France haven't seen it.

So the song "Elaine" has not been heard by the French themselves, and they can't sing it, and they don't think it's good, it's just a saliva song with no connotation, like China's "Xiaofang", which is not as good as "Xiaofang", because "Xiaofang" is still very popular in China at least, and "Elaine" is not popular in France.

As a result, as soon as this French lady said this, some Chinese became anxious.

Why?

Because we are so enthusiastic about your stinky feet, fooling many Chinese people like French songs, and as a result, you say that no one listens to this song in France?

That's not good, doesn't that mean that we slapped the horse's legs?

So some netizens scolded this French lady: "I think it's very good, our preferences don't need foreigners to guide us, we have independent thinking and hobbies, and we won't follow any famous people and so-called trends." ”

Then the French lady was stunned, and she quickly explained: "I didn't tell you what music to enjoy, I just stated that I really can't sing this song, and it's not popular in France." ”

It can be seen from here that some people will really be immersed in their own cognition and can't extricate themselves, he thinks that "Ilian" is the best French song in the world, that is, he thinks that "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is the big bad movie of the century, that is.

……

While public opinion is busy, the crew of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is also busy promoting in Tokyo, and today's event is mainly held in Ginza and the Faculty of Arts of the University of Tokyo.

Ginza has the largest cinema in the island country, TOHO Cinema, with 13 screening halls, and at 11:30 p.m., the crew of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" just arrived at the end of the first show to do activities.

The young men and women of the island country are very excited to see where they are, screaming non-stop, this is a man who can hold on for 30 minutes and coexist with talent and beauty, the women of the island country worship the strong, so they are very worshipful of powerful men.

"Dig a few empty mud digs!" He Fang said hello to the audience in Japanese, and he is now learning, and in the Internet language ten years later, he said that He Fang has mastered the traffic password, that is, interacting with fans in the local language will increase their intimacy.

"Where, I love you!"

"Ah, where, I'm going to have monkeys with you!"

But He Fang didn't understand a word, just waved at everyone with a sweet smile.

The people of the island country have a lot of respect for He Fang, because according to the relationship between the respect and inferiority of the island country, He Fang belongs to the kind of national director, and he must be very respectful.

"He Sang, you are the idol of many fans in the island country, because you are the light of Asia and a role model for young filmmakers, what do you think of the films in the island country?" The host came up and threw a difficult problem to who to do.

"There are many excellent filmmakers in the island country, especially the film masters, and it can be said that the country with the most film masters in Asia. And the island country also has many excellent movie stories, as well as a unique film style. ”

"For example, in terms of film style, the island country's unique low-camera and slow narrative style is very good, which is difficult for other countries to learn. In addition, in terms of animation and movies, this is unique in the world, and even the United States can only look up to it, which is worthy of admiration and learning. ”

Of course, this is also true.

"Wow, then how do you think island movies can't make blockbusters like Hollywood and yours?" The moderator then asked.

"This is mainly related to the habits of thinking and the accepted film shooting technology, as well as the film technology reserves of another country. Of course, there will also be a country whose culture allows for breakthroughs and whether or not they are allowed to break through has something to do with trying. ”

"Personally, I think that filmmakers in island countries pay more attention to human nature, family affection, life, reality and other factors, rather than new technological innovations and attempts to have this cultural atmosphere."

"In fact, if the island country can continue to strengthen and expand animation films and maintain its own style of narrative, it is also part of the diversity of world cinema. It doesn't have to be like Hollywood, and it doesn't have to be like my movies. ”

After He Fang finished speaking, the audience applauded thunderously.

"How much do you know about island movies?" The moderator asked.

"When we study film, we must learn island films, like Akira Kurosawa, this is a compulsory course, Nagisa Oshima, Takeshi Kitano, Kenji Mizoguchi, Shinji Fukasaku, Shohei Imamura, Jun Miyazaki and other directors have learned about the works, and some have studied and analyzed them in depth."

He Fang's words made the audience applaud warmly, and it is a pride for a global cutting-edge director to know so much about island country films.

"Then have you ever thought about cooperating with an island nation?" The moderator asked.

"Of course there is, I bought the film and television adaptation rights of two anime in the island country, one will be filmed at the end of this year, and the other will be filmed next year."

"Wow, okay, are there any actors you want to work with?" The moderator continued to ask.

"Yes, I signed a directing contract with Fox for the new X-Men series, and I suggested using an island actress, but they haven't started auditioning yet, so I'm looking forward to it."

"Wow...... Okay, I believe He Sang will be a good friend of island movies, so let's talk about "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", why did you make this movie? You must know that "Journey to the West" is a classic of Asian people, aren't you afraid that it will not be filmed well? ”

……

The movie continues to be hot, and the publicity is also in full swing, and the news in Hefang's itinerary will be reprinted to China by Tuanhuo Culture, and the popularity of overseas will be maintained at home, which is one of the methods they discussed.

That is to use the form of reporting "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" to let audiences all over Asia know the current promotion progress of the film and the degree of popularity.

Because of He Fang's invaluable knowledge of island country movies, as well as signing the copyright of two island countries and cooperating with island country actors, fans of the entire island country have rejoiced in a wave of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits".

Even, some female celebrities volunteered to warm the quilt for He Fang and relieve He Fang's fatigue.

However, this actress is that kind of actress.

When you have to know that you are stunned and excited, but you can't say it, you can't do it!

Today is 77, remember history and don't forget the national shame!!
