The increase in investment in the sequel is inevitable. The investment in Rush Hour 3 has also increased to 120 million, of which 40 million is spent on the salaries of the two protagonists. The remaining $80 million is not considered a high investment in Hollywood today. Of course I also believe that when it is released in China, the distributor will still title the film "Hollywood Hot Blockbuster" or something, because this 120 million is already an astronomical figure for most Chinese. Of course, if we really believed in the almost irresponsible flicker of the distributor at that time, going to the cinema would only bring disappointment.
Because this film is not popular, and in fact, the reason why "Rush Hour" is not popular is that Hollywood is more than the popular film of "Rush Hour 3".
Jackie Chan is getting older and older, and the more and more clear film makes the wrinkles on his face more obvious. From the "New Police Story", it has been seen that Jackie Chan, who is slightly old, appears on the camera again and again. What fans want to see is his unchanging and vigorous figure, but the attentive audience can still feel Jackie Chan’s "Tired", although this is not obvious. At this time, I don’t know whether the bridge section of the Eiffel Tower in the film was computer-synthesized, but I guess that even if Jackie Chan is desperate, he won’t actually climb between the Eiffel Tower and fight swords with people, let alone fight him. The one who fought the sword was Hiroyuki Sanada, who was short of him in terms of skill and destiny. I believe that as Jackie Chan gets older, we will see Jackie Chan fighting more and more on the screen, but the difference is that these are no longer true.
Except for the fight at the Eiffel Tower, there are not many real thrills in this film. The cooperation between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is no longer as surprising as the first one, because we can always guess. This black policeman is always self-righteous and lustful. This 90-minute film length is almost only half of the Hollywood standard blockbuster, and this 80-minute film cost 120 million yuan. If it is converted into how much money per minute, then the investment in the film has already been It ranks among the top of Hollywood investment this year. However, such an investment has failed to make people see its momentum. On the contrary, it appears stingy everywhere. The momentum of an international underworld is actually not as popular as the gangsters in Hong Kong movies of the last century. That’s why it happened that an international triad organization only sent a few people to hunt down the police, and after killing these people, the people in the film shouted out the group in one fell swoop. I don’t know if this was the ignorance of the police in the film or the screenwriter. ignorance. If Michael Bay knows, I don’t know if he will say “I really don’t know how to make a movie so much money”.
By the way, I almost forgot Zhang Jingchu, and Zhang Jingchu’s performance in the film almost made him forget for a while. "Rush Hour 2" became a springboard for Zhang Ziyi to jump to Hollywood, but I believe that "Rush Hour 3" is difficult. Become a stepping stone for Zhang Jingchu to enter Hollywood.
"Rush Hour 3" is not bad-looking, it is that his good-looking level is far from what they claim to be an investment. An A-grade investment film allows people to see only the effect of a B-grade film, so I can only say—— This B-level film is expensive.
