However, after all, Universal is Universal, once again proving that a thin dead camel can be bigger than a horse. Despite the cold scene, he still managed very generously in terms of capital investment, star lineup and action stunts. Stars are full of bright stars, at least for domestic audiences. From Jet Li to Huang Qiusheng, they are all familiar Asian superstars. As for money and cg, I think CCTV3.CCTV6.CCTV8.CCTVX has been bombarding the same promotional videos in turns in the past two days, and people's curiosity has been hooked to the apex. What Shangri-La Wonderland, long-haired snowman, three-headed dragon, indeed Call it excellent. However, if the children's shoes who have watched "Dragon Battle" still have lingering fears about terms such as CG and stunts, it is recommended that their expectations for "Mummy 3" stop there.
This year is rich in controversial movies. For example, in the past two years, we can only point fingers at domestic blockbusters such as "The Promise" and "Golden Armor". It also provides fresh overseas elements for everyone's leisure gossip. Since the mummy is based on Chinese stories, naturally the Chinese audience has the most say. Unfortunately, the director failed to please the vast market of 1.3 billion.
For example: When a crisis occurs, the plot of the Americans always surviving and the Chinese rushing to the streets will impress Chinese audiences? Do not make jokes. Of course, if you are familiar with the Hollywood model, you will feel no suspense about the unfolding of this set of plots.
In addition, it is said that director Rob Cohen took the initiative to direct the film because of his curiosity about ancient Chinese culture and the origin of Buddhism. He said: "When I got the script, I was really attracted by the breadth and depth of knowledge in China. ... In addition, I am a devout Buddhist with 20 years of teaching experience, so the world For me, it has a very deep emotional resonance. This is why when I first saw the script of the film, I was completely absorbed in it and couldn't extricate myself. When I was determined to be the director of the film, I naturally felt the script. We have the right to modify and make corresponding adjustments, so that the whole story has a more precise expression and understanding in terms of culture and archaeology.”
But the film is not so Chinese when it is presented to us, and “the archaeological aspect is not so Chinese. Having a more precise expression and cognition” is even more impossible to talk about, and there are many unbelievable jokes in it.
1. The "Witch" played by Michelle Yeoh used a fluent spoken English of CEG6 level or above when reciting bamboo scriptures after using a large section of Chinese dialogue.
2. The three-headed winged dragon that Jet Li transformed into is not me. Before "Harry Potter", there was no such image of dragons in traditional Chinese culture. Besides, Qin Shihuang was an ancient man, and his imagination was so transcendent that he could go to Hollywood to create monsters.
3. The so-called pool of immortality turned out to be a false advertisement, and Ying Zheng was easily wiped out, which greatly warned consumers to consume rationally.
