When I bought the ticket, I saw a domestic movie written on the ticketing platform, but I saw Sony in the title. The first producer was Yaolai (Jackie Chan's film company). Suddenly I realized that this is probably a very Jackie Chan style and Hollywood movie. A co-production of the background.
Sure enough, the familiar comedy kung fu came out. Jackie Chan is probably the best group of people in the world who are good at expressing comedy with action. In a few shots, he can make the audience laugh without lines. For example, when Si Qi and Lina first met, they didn't have a single line, just relying on a painting can get the effect.
Then the dragon appeared, applying the setting of Aladdin's lamp and the shape of the dog, and the movie began to collapse all the way. Shooting Shenlong into a stupid dog can certainly please the female audience, but such a method is really too homogenous. The four dissimilarities in "Kung Fu Panda" and "Jiang Ziya". . . It seems that as long as the character's eyeballs are enlarged and wrinkled into a pitiful look, the audience's mother's love can be overwhelmed, "Wow!!! So cute!"
Then the villain came on the scene, even though one of the three villains is cute, the boss is the worst in the world, and the other shorty I will talk about later.
After a dragon-style comedy fight, the film begins a lengthy discussion of money and friendship. Such a discussion would be less endearing and most conservative in a family-friendly cartoon. Similar discussions in other films have been presented in a large number, and "Wishing Dragon" as an animation has little depth. In such a conservative universal value, there is another dwarf who is regarded as a harlequin, which is even more out of place, making people wonder why the director's thinking is so out of touch The last time a Hollywood movie made fun of Chapo was probably "Joker", but what value does "Joker" convey? What value does "Wish Dragon" want to convey?
American comedies wrapped in Chinese elements can be said to be quite satisfactory. It can be seen that the screenwriter (the director himself) has done a lot of localization research. Like Jackie Chan, the comic effect created by the body and the picture is still very effective. But other language jokes are a little weaker. Such attempts, whether successful or not, should be encouraged.
Jackie Chan is old and can't move anymore. In "Pioneer", he can only take the stairs. As a Jackie Chan fan, I am happy to see him again in animated films. There are not many fighting scenes in "Wishing Dragon", which still makes Jackie Chan's golden age full of nostalgia. You seem to have seen in Si Qi the stupid boy in "Drunken Fist" who can't do anything and can defeat the bad guy by relying on the beggar's control.
In the end, I still felt that if the filmmaker increased the budget for publicity and distribution and put the film in the Spring Festival gear, the box office would probably still be very impressive, and it should still be more than enough to squeeze out "Bear Infested".
