This director is very reliable

Chapter 905 First Week (25)

The Hong Kong circle is really pulling!

Xu Ke + Yuan Heping, what is this concept?
"Once Upon a Time" Hey!

"Black Man" Hey!

Then "Qimen Dunjia"...

This is too far!
In fact, Yuan Heping's level as a director is similar to that of most action directors who change careers as directors, so it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Can perform the script normally.

The main problem is that Yuan Heping seems to have a very bad sense of good scripts and bad scripts...

If you are lucky, you will have "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", but if you are unlucky, you will have "Su Qier" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of Qingming".

The script of "Su Qier" and "Huo Yuanjia" are too repetitive, and the length of the paragraphs is too uneven. For some reason, Yuan Heping couldn't see such an obvious problem.

"Sword of Qingming" is in a mess...

Except for some bright spots in the action scenes, the plot is simply fragmented!
Of course, there are still many action directors who are directors, such as Yuan Kui and Cheng Xiaodong. If you look at their resumes, you will find that Yuan Baye's performance is not that bad.

"Qi Men Dun Jia" is really bad, the film has fallen into the collapse of the world view from the very beginning.

The most obvious thing is that it is an oriental fantasy, but the monsters are western monsters, and the gossip uses western magic.

The world view is chaotic, the rhythm is loose, the actors are funny, and the lines are crap.

In a word, bad movie!
Except for Wu Bai's stalk of "come, come, come, drink this cup, there are three more cups" which is a bit interesting...

There is a comment on Douban: Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also like a mental retardation like a bad pen!

……

"The Wandering Earth" is released, and the most exciting thing is the domestic science fiction fans!
Divided by genre, domestic sci-fi fans are the worst group.

No, horror movie fans are the worst group. After all, sci-fi movies cost a lot of money, so little is done, and people don't see them. There are a large number of domestic horror movies every year!

Pulling back, the three-version trailer of "The Wandering Earth", the first version builds a world view: the sun will expand, and the earth needs to wander; it sets the tone of the film: home and hope;

The second edition introduces an important core setting: the planetary engine.

The third edition only points out the important emotional lines, indicating the motives of the characters' actions...

Most sci-fi movie fans have the same attitude: even if the filming becomes a piece of shit, I have to watch it before spraying it!

——No matter what the final result of the movie is, we choose hope!

After all, for a big production of 4.5 million yuan, judging from the behind-the-scenes interviews, from the main creator to the actors, it feels like they are holding back their energy...

Of course, there are also downsides: I think sci-fi movies made in Mandarin have a plastic feel.Moreover, if a sci-fi film becomes a big hit, true sci-fi fans will completely lose their trust in Chinese sci-fi.After all, "Interstellar" and "Cloud Atlas" are real science fiction films...

This is normal...

There are a lot of people belittling "The Wandering Earth" on Weibo, like ""The Wandering Earth" is rubbish, and I still want to be sensational when I make this kind of film."Just stick couplets on the plane!It must be [-] times better to let the United States shoot, but China still can't do it, it's far away!The plot is also too unreasonable! '

'First of all, I haven't watched it, but I know that "The Wandering Earth" must be rubbish'

'What sci-fi movie can your country make?Do you know what science fiction is? '

These days, yelling a few words about "the West is good, China is bad" makes you appear to be knowledgeable and insightful. This kind of trend is not only popular in the cultural circles, but also has a big market in the streets and alleys!

However, after "The Wandering Earth" was released, such remarks became less...

In fact, there are still, but the public doesn't care anymore!

……

"The Wandering Earth" had a box office of 1.92 million on the first day, a good start!

After all, 38% of the films are scheduled for theaters!
The word-of-mouth is overwhelming, Maoyan, Taopiaopiao scored 9.8 points, and Douban scored 8.8 points...

This is the first day of word of mouth...

Controversy and the like only erupted days after the movie was released...

By the way, let me tell you something, "Wolf Warrior 2" had nothing to do with patriotism at first.

"Wolf Warrior 2" just won another patriotic theme blockbuster "The Founding of the Army" that was appointed in the same period and became popular...

"The Founding of the Army" is the main theme patriotic propaganda film jointly created by the government and capital.

The initial fermentation point of "Wolf Warrior 2" was the first heavy industry action movie.

Relying on a group of people to complain to the BBC and other international media, after going online, and labeling them as "jingoist" (chauvinism) and "propaganda" (propaganda), Douban Weibo and others followed up on nationalism and patriotism , Engage in the "little pinks will watch" lead, and only then solidified the label of "patriotic movies".

"Eating patriotic food" and "relying on patriotism to become popular" have become the labels of "Wolf Warrior 2"...

By the way, "The Wandering Earth" was also released in North America at the same time, and 118 theaters had a trial screening-Warner exclusively bought out the right to discover North America for US$120 million.

Why sell so cheap?

120 million is just the basic copyright, and there will be a split account later-the revenue sharing model, that is, the producer and the distributor will share and extract their respective revenues according to the actual distribution revenue of the film according to the predetermined ratio.

But Warner said, at most 800 movie theaters will be won...

In recent years, North American populism has been very popular. For example, "Let's Wrestle!""Dad", which attaches great importance to the American market, was first released in the United States on December 2016, 12, and joined the Christmas file.

There were 331 filming sessions, and the box office of a single show went from $991 to $4067 on Christmas Day, which was a smash hit in the same period.

and then?
The next week's film schedule was only adjusted from 331 to 238. Two weeks later, the film schedule was cut to 137, and then cut to less than 100...

Is it because the market is not performing well?
If you really want to say that the market is not good, there are also examples. The Jewish religious film "Samson" has a third-rate director, a third-rate starring, a third-rate production cost, a third-rate theme, and a third-rate reputation. After its release, the box office of a single show dropped from $500 to $115...

There were 1140 films scheduled for the next week, and the box office of a single show continued to drop to double digits (that is, there were only three or five people in each show, and the show was basically empty).

Even so, there were 434 films in the third week, and only 92 in the fourth week.In the end, the US box office was 470 million US dollars, while the overseas box office was only 15 US dollars...

Pulling back, after "The Wandering Earth" was released, the momentum of "Youth" was interrupted directly...

In the original time and space, the three movies "Crazy Alien", "Flying Life", and "The New King of Comedy" can't stop the take-off of "The Wandering Earth"...

"Fang Hua" is a hair?

1.94 million on the first day, 2.6 million on the second day, and 3.4 million on the third day. Even on weekdays, the momentum continued, and 2.7 million was scored!
Breaking through one billion in four days...

It's like crazy, it can't be stopped at all!
On the 22nd, there were originally three films, "Blood of the Machine", "Legend of the Demon Cat", and "City Lights of Psychological Crime", but the latter two were directly announced to be withdrawn...

The momentum of "The Wandering Earth" is too strong, and the next weekend will definitely exceed the first week...

Head-to-head, absolutely unnecessary.

As for "Blood of the Machine"-Brother Jackie Chan has a very hard head!
Resolutely do not change the schedule...

Shen Changlin posted a Weibo: "The theatrical version of "The Wandering Earth" is 140 minutes, and there is also a director's personal cut version, 160 minutes. After the movie is released, we will launch it on major video platforms for free to give back to the audience!"
