As of June 30, "The Great Cause of Party Building" exceeded 200 million. It can be seen that the audience did not buy it. It is reasonable to say nothing else. I don't want to do more to say that it is against the river crab.
In "Martial Arts" released on July 4, the combination of Bullet Brothers, Onimusha, and Lust Jie is worth buying tickets, but it is likely to be cheated. This can be seen from the trailer. Although the director is Chen Kexin, the results of several films invested in the mainland in recent years are not satisfactory. It seems that there is a deviation from the appetites of mainland audiences, so it is difficult for this film to appear unexpectedly, plus the limitations of the script itself. It seems that it is still hard to escape the domestic film model of "getting over the addiction".
"Eavesdropping 2" on August 18 is the sequel after "Eavesdropping" accidentally exceeded 100 million. It feels that it should be a well-regulated Hong Kong film, and it is expected to continue to write the glory of the previous work.
On August 24, Drunk Driving Director Gao Xiaosong’s "Da Wusheng" was no accident and could win the fierce competition for the worst film of the year. Han Geng, Wu Zun, and Da S, how do you think they are a combination of idol dramas? You said these three have acting skills. , I guess the people all over the country laughed, the mud can't go on the wall, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it.
"The Revolution of 1911", which was released on September 26, was another red propaganda film with good intentions. However, the audience was obviously aesthetically tired. The decrease in the number of celebrities participating will reduce the audience's interest in buying tickets to "count the stars", and the phenomenon of "killing addiction" will continue.
On September 28, "Legend of the White Snake", apart from the starring Jet Li who is estimated to be able to deceive a large audience, I believe it is still difficult to make achievements. There is also an actor like Huang Shengyi, the queen of bad movies, who can't even perform, plus a recent ten Cheng Xiaodong, who hasn't produced a good film in a few years, seems to be a rather bad film.
"The Female Generals of the Yang Family", which was released in October, featured Cecilia Cheung's publicity, in an attempt to reproduce the "black fungus effect". I think a large number of otaku will not buy it. Director Chen Xunqi has never made a good film. Presumably this movie will not escape this fate. On the whole, the situation will be better than that of "Da Wusheng", and it is also a strong competitor for the worst film of the year.
"Painting the Wall" on Chen Jia, Deng Chao and Sun Li's combination film focuses on magical fantasy. Seeing here, I can already conclude that this film must be a thundering work. It is too thunderous, and it is more joyful to buy tickets.
Wu Shixian’s "Inseparable Shadows" was filmed as early as last year, and it has not been able to enter the theater for a long time. I don’t know why, but with the addition of Kevin Spacey, I have more expectations.
Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast" and Li Rengang's "Hongmen Banquet" are themed crashes. I don't know who will kill you. Personally, I am more optimistic about the former.
Boundary line————————————————————
Entering the end of the year when large-scale films gather, Tsui Hark, Wang Jiawei, Zhang Yimou, and Er Dongsheng compete to appear on the stage, "Flying Armor of Dragon Gate" and "The Great Master" "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "The Great Magician" will also stage the fiercest annual competition.
Let’s watch "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", which is a very good movie by Tsui Hark. It is difficult for Tsui Hark to make good martial arts effects with 3D special effects, but Tsui dared to do it. The biggest highlight is not Jet Li, not Gui Lunmei, but the famous "Brother Chun", this movie is Tsui Hark playing a movie again, Tsui Hark has not been seen in Wenqing, but few Wenqing enter the movie theater. , I must be able to make a fortune again, and it should not be difficult to make money back. It is a strong contender for the best visual effect of the year.
Then "The Great Master", director Wang Jiawei's position in Wen Qing's heart does not need to be said. , I’ve been holding back for nine years, and I’m only shooting now, but Ip Man’s limelight has long been snatched by Brother Bullet. It can be seen how much courage is needed to shoot now. The style, art and martial art of Ye Wen is about to be born. We will wait and see whether it is good or bad. Long time is not necessarily a good thing. If you don’t believe me, go to "2046".
Look at "The Great Magician" again, in view of "Deadly Magic", "The Magician" has long been in the minds of many people. If you want to play suspense and difficulty, then play the plot. It is also difficult for me to watch. You have to look at the introduction, how do you see how it is a movie for love, Edward Norton's "The Magician" It is this way. It seems that the box office is going to be strong. You must not cheat on the details and plot. It is very difficult to make a breakthrough, and you can still drop the money.
In "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", Lao Mouzi jumped back again and couldn't hold his breath. It seems that making a literary film is still not a big one. Bell, who was invited for $30 million, is considered an actor that I personally like very much. His professional attitude is obvious to all, and I don’t want to say more. There are even more masterpieces like "The Dark Knight", although Heath Ledger has robbed the limelight. Go, but they have already landed after all. Recently, a "Fighter" feels that everyone's elegance has been robbed. This kind of explosive actor is still rare. I don't know what kind of chemical effect Christian Bell + Lao Mouzi can produce, but the plot of the movie is The story of prostitutes saving people’s lives in the overall context of the Nanjing Massacre is a heavy theme, and the appeal of this theme in the world is expected to surpass that of Chinese Kung Fu, but with Bell joining, even coaxing can gain a lot. However, the essence lies in the sculpting of the script itself. It is well known that Zhang Yimou encountered various criticisms of film critics in China. At one point, he said his works exposed the ugliness of the Chinese people, and at the other, he said that he violated Chinese ideology. Personally, I don’t have much opinion on Zhang Yimou itself. I absolutely trust Lao Mouzi’s works in terms of color and picture, but often the script itself is not connotative enough, not as deep as the earlier works, but it is not as bad as most people say, 2002 I like "Hero" very much. Although it is difficult to escape the suspicion of the wind of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the color of the picture, Chinese elements, and the expression of Eastern philosophy can still be seen. It's not a kind of irony to watch it happily.
In general, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is not a big accident, and it is not a problem to win the box office championship this year. It is not how awesome the movie itself is, but I personally hope that it will become popular globally, and it can be regarded as a promotion for Chinese culture. When will Chinese movies embark on a virtuous circle, rather than the routine of "death after the addiction" is still a big question mark.
