Lunar New Year movies and Spring Festival movies usually have a lot of Spring Festival elements, and they are lively and lively to say a New Year to the audience. Often when we look back at them later, we will recall the stories of the New Year.
Sometimes, these elements can even make the film seem okay at that time. A typical example is Wang Baoqiang's incomparably bad "Havoc in Tianzhu". New Year's greetings, it seems that he was fooled at the end?
But once this kind of cleverness misses that special time period, it will become very embarrassing.
For example, "Win the Championship" a few days ago.
Such as today's "Pioneer".
In "Pioneer", the element of the Spring Festival is really consumed from the beginning to the end, I am afraid that the audience who watched it at that time walked out of the atmosphere of the New Year and discovered the problems in the film.
But when the release time becomes the second half of the year or even after the autumnal equinox, when Kikujiro has finished the summer, all this will make this already awkward film even more awkward.
However, although this kind of cleverness is embarrassing, it is not incomprehensible. The things that are going to provoke nationalism that will be said next will make people a little unacceptable.
Okay, let's talk about this before the spoiler line, anyway, its story is not interesting, I think you can actually ignore the spoiler line and read it directly...
spoilers later
The protagonist of this film is a private security organization located in the UK called Pioneer, the boss is Jackie Chan, and there are several powerful agents, Yang Yang, Allen, Mia, Zhu Zhengting, etc.
The company's VIP customer, Boss Qin, was kidnapped in Chinatown. This group of people was a mercenary hired by the son of his early partner. Back then, Lao Qin and his father partnered to do a lot of black business, but the father wanted to buy a large-scale killing Old Qin refused to use sexual weapons, so he broke up, and Dad was finally killed by the US military.
The son is bent on revenge, and wants to use his father's legacy to buy weapons of mass destruction to bomb the US aircraft carrier - I have to say that this one is really kind...
In order to get Lao Qin to help, the mercenaries went to Africa to capture Lao Qin's daughter, intending to use it to coerce him, and the vanguard also went to Africa, and then the mission not only failed, but the agent Yang Yang was also captured.
So next they went to their son's base to rescue Yang Yang and his daughter. Both of them were rescued, but the vanguards couldn't escape. In a desperate situation, Lao Qin sacrificed himself and you take me away-then the vanguards gone.
Because Lao Qin had told the pioneers that the property was in Dubai, everyone went to Dubai together. The last two groups of people had a blast, and the pioneers won, which is gratifying to Coca-Cola.
I roughly retell the story, and then I really don't want to talk about bugs anymore. I think when the resources will be published online, you can just find two colleagues and classmates to sit there with you for an hour and a half, and pull the film again. Then anyone can tell you about 3,600 plot slots, so I won't waste my time.
The fight in the UK's Chinatown at the beginning of the whole film, I think, is the best of the whole. In this part, Allen and Yang Yang go to rescue Boss Qin and fight with the mercenaries' men in the restaurant and kitchen.
This scene made me see some shadows of Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao's cooperation. Allen was responsible for amusing more realistically, using various interesting tools, and shaking his hand after punching. Oh, it hurts and hurts, just like we are familiar with Jackie Chan, on the other hand, Yang Yang, is responsible for clean fights and acting cool, just like Yuan Biao when working with Jackie Chan (or anyone else).
I naively thought that the whole film would go on like this, that Jackie Chan played a boss himself, but he actually took the position of Uncle Pyu, which is really interesting!
As a result, when the protagonists landed on the African continent, I found that I was thinking too much about the grass. The whole film even had a decent fistfight. The bombing bombing bombing to fill up.
Yang Yang is completely reduced to a vase whose main role is to fall in love (both men and women), while Alan plays a slut photographer in a certain episode and seems to be unable to get out, and behind it is this slut. Son……
As for the mother-of-pearl who seems to be able to play very well, I am really ashamed and embarrassed to say that she ended up playing the whole film, but what impressed me the most was the part where she was a vase...
The rhythm of the whole film is also very strange. I think it can be said that it is useless except for "Lianxi". The scene where Yang Yang and the heroine sleep in the bird-watching hut is really used as a transition, just for the sake of Tell you that they went up, he fell asleep, he got up, they came down, and there were several pointless crap scenes.
You can say that it does look very coherent, and a fool can understand what happened, but the rhythm of the whole paragraph is completely lost. When such a problem makes the screen content unable to provide enough stimulation, the audience will naturally feel bored , will feel unable to enter the play.
Then, naturally, you will take out your phone or simply fall asleep in your seat.
In addition, all the transitions and editing are also lacking in design. When the lines are finished, the black screen fades out abruptly. I feel that I have no energy when I am doing it later. After a special effect is pulled to the end, I will stop work and go home for the New Year.
In fact, the industrial level of many Hong Kong films in the golden age was not high, and everyone just made do with tricks and stopped work. The main attraction depends on the charm of the stars themselves and the quality assurance of famous scenes.
In Jackie Chan's movies, these things are naturally his real kung fu, and his crazy actions that are not afraid of death.
But in this film, Jackie Chan was stopped when he wanted to jump off the building and said "there is an elevator", of course it's funny, but who will inherit these highlights?
Alan? Ellen can't.
Yang Yang? Yang Yang's own jump has such serious special effects, how can this satisfy Jackie Chan fans?
Without these points of view, the low level of the natural industry will lead to a disaster for the entire film - Wang Jing's filming of Macau Fengyun will at least invite you a company of the top stars, how about you?
There is a very interesting point in the film, that is, when Allen and Zhu Zhengting discussed how to approach their son's contact person, they proposed to use the beauty trick, and then looked at Mia.
Mia refused, didn't you still say I'm a man? Then walked away.
At this time, the camera showed Alan him, and when he looked up, I was suddenly excited here, and I think many straight men were also excited.
Because we suddenly reacted, it is very likely that Zhu Zhengting's women's clothing will be set here!
Who is Zhu Zhengting? If I remember correctly, it should be an idol trainee, but these are not important, the important thing is that he has a picture of out of the circle, I think you must have seen it:
To be honest, if this emoji package is followed by Zhu Zhengting's women's clothing and high-definition re-engraving, I think it will undoubtedly have a very positive effect on this film or for Zhu Zhengting.
This is to face the dark history of the past and make a brave self-mockery, and this kind of self-mockery may be more advanced than directly following the trend with a catchphrase on the Internet.
There is even a chance to become Wu Yifan's big bowl of wide noodles as a turn over work.
But unfortunately it didn't. After everything in the camera, we found out that Mia was the one who seduced the man. Although the figure was really good, it was completely boring for what I was expecting just now.
Finally, we're going to expand on something that some people might not like to hear.
Let me first mention that Cue's Wolf Warrior 2 and Operation Red Sea, the two main theme commercial films, the two troops that make the audience emotionally excited are both official Chinese teams in the setting, so their actions can be said to be Representing China (of course, the issue of Leng Feng is a little more complicated, see Wolf Warrior 2 for details).
Under this premise, you use the excellent performance of the special forces to extend some things you have loved, and stir up the enthusiasm of the nation to earn the box office. Although I don't like it very much, but I can't say anything if I insist on being critical.
But this film obviously does not have any official endorsement, so the protagonist team can only be set as a mercenary group, and then the mercenary group fights the mercenary group. The two waves are actually working for money.
What do you think Jackie Chan and the others are protecting Mr. Qin for? Isn't it just money? Because Mr. Qin is a VIP.
But in this case, it's really a bit ridiculous that you asked Allen to play an agent whose nationality may even be British, and was praised by his son as Captain China, and that Captain China was better than Captain America.
If you really want to do this, then you should let Jackie Chan's department actually be the embassy or its subordinate (if legal), and then Mr. Qin will come for help, and then this group of state-organized agents will help, then what do you say about the captain of China? Anything is ok.
In addition, what is even more interesting is that when you think about Jackie Chan and the others protecting Mr. Qin, it looks like they are protecting the Chinese. In fact, those mercenaries don’t want to kill Mr. Qin at all (they changed their minds and said, after all, they didn’t change their minds.) They thought To buy weapons of mass destruction is to fight the US aircraft carrier to avenge my father.
That is to say, after going around Jackie Chan for a long time, they wanted to protect the US aircraft carrier. It really felt like they were kicked on the steel plate after all the calculations were done.
Of course, the U.S. aircraft carrier is not good in this film. It just took out three planes by that weapon, and it exploded into flames - it should be the combat effectiveness of the black U.S. aircraft carrier.
Then at the end of the film, it suddenly became friendly with the people of Dubai who only came out suddenly in the last paragraph, and the Chinese and Dijon collectively celebrated the New Year, which also seemed very abrupt - don't forget that Pioneer is always a British company.
This paragraph gives the impression that the last scene was filmed in Dubai. When the filming was finished, Jackie Chan slapped his thigh grass and died to pay New Year's greetings. Tang Jili hurriedly said that it was all right. The Dubai group performance did not leave, so he pulled it back and recorded it again. A moment, and then there is this scene.
Let’s make a summary, there are only three films in the Spring Festival file, and I will go to see Jiang Ziya tomorrow afternoon, and I heard that it has also collapsed.
In addition, I don’t know if it’s the Mandela effect. Can anyone help me think about it? Was Lin Chaoxian’s emergency rescue first scheduled for 9.30 and then quietly escaped?
If so, can this epidemic really help these films in the Spring Festival archives to reveal their true bodies, and in the future, those films that are not of such good quality may dare to spend a lot of money and then advance to the Spring Festival archives?
