tearjerker director

Chapter 713 Triggering Collective Memory Killing
"Heaven's Reply" actually boils down to a children's film.

Compared with other theater movies nowadays, this movie can indeed be said to be very "simple"!
The story line of the plot is a single story line, without any branch plots, so the plot will appear to be particularly simple.

Let children watch it, and they can easily understand it.

Such movies are actually very rare in this era.

"Heaven's Reply" has a surprisingly good reputation in screenings.

"Honestly speaking, the movie is indeed very different, and the way of telling the story is also very primitive, but it can make people cry. Is this probably the style of the dog director?"

"Although I never met my grandpa, I still couldn't help but want to cry when I saw my grandpa leaving peacefully in the candlelight in the movie."

"My grandpa and I are also very close, but due to family reasons, we have a very formal relationship between grandpa and granddaughter. Our conversations are limited to greetings. When I knew that I wanted to know grandpa better, I thought about going back and asking grandpa to tell me During the story, Grandpa left..."

In fact, many people who read film reviews understand that maybe the film may not be so good, because many film reviews are almost telling personal stories that have nothing to do with the film.

The movie may be more about evoking the memories of movie fans about their grandpa, grandma, and people of that generation.

However, this is enough.

On the popular film review website, although there are not many people who rate it at present, the rating of more than 9 points still surprises people who have not seen this movie.

Because many people know about this movie, although it is said that Li Yi’s name is on it, even though it was actually filmed by Li Yi’s deputy director Zhuo Yixiong, but this is not a Hong Kong movie, but it ran out of the shooting speed of Hong Kong movies .

The film was finished and released so quickly, so although everyone felt that the film should be okay, they never expected that so many people would give it high marks.

"Isn't it? Does Director Dog also have NC fans?"

"Why are all the comments in the comment area collectively recalling? Tell me about the plot of the movie!"

"After reading the cast list, the number of people is a bit small, right? How simple is this movie?"

A group of netizens who have not seen the movie raised doubts.

On the one hand, the ratings are a bit too high in their opinion. Even if fans of Li Yi's movies usually wear filters automatically, the ratings are generally high, but nine points can definitely be said to be a watershed.

Many movies are controlled and rated, but most of the time, they dare not score more than nine points. Why?
I am afraid that if I raise it too high, I will be backlashed.

Therefore, for most films, even if it is a controlled review, more than eight points is enough.

But no matter what, even if the score is as high as 9 points, the box office prospects of the movie "Heaven's Reply" are still not very optimistic by the industry.

Of course, the so-called whether it is optimistic or not does not mean whether "Heaven's Reply" will be a hit.

Whether it is a hit or not is relative. A movie that costs several million can sell a box office of [-] to [-] million, which can already be regarded as a hit.

Of course, although the cost of "Heaven's Reply" seems to be around a few million, this movie really can't be regarded as a low-budget movie with a few million.

Because Li Yi's name is there, at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of investments have been added to the film, let alone.

As for the movie with the name of director Li Yi's work, in the eyes of many people, the box office exceeds [-] million?That's nonsense, at least three or four billion yuan is considered a small blockbuster.

After all, Li Yi's "Paradise Cinema" earlier was a foreign-language film and a slow-paced movie, but it still managed to sell hundreds of millions of box office by virtue of word of mouth, not to mention "Heaven's Reply", although it is very popular. Simple, even rudimentary, but after all, it is a local movie, and with the blessing of Li Yi's own name, the movie's rating is also very high, so even if it is a literary drama, it still cannot be underestimated.

But that's all, obviously no one will artificially think that the box office of "Heaven's Reply" can really reach the "big hit" standard of Li Yi's movie!
What standard?At least breaking the one billion mark is the threshold for Li Yi's movie to be a "big seller".

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the industry's analysis, and Li Yi himself did not have much expectation for the box office of "Heaven's Reply".

This movie is another world in his memory. Although it has won many international children's film awards, it is only a children's film award after all, and its gold content is still a bit low.

What's more, from Li Yi's own point of view, this movie is actually more like a small theater movie.

Because the scenes in the movie, the actors, and the way the story is told are all very, very single.

There are only three main actors, and the main plot is a straight line without any side plots. It revolves around the grandparents and grandchildren from beginning to end.

Not to mention Zhuo Yixiong, after he finished filming the movie, he felt that the movie was too simple.

And it wasn't directed by Li Yi himself, so it's still not interesting in itself. Even if the content of the same movie is exactly the same, there is still a big gap in who the director is.

Another point is the promotion. Compared with Li Yi's other movies, the promotion of "Heaven's Reply" can be said to be perfunctory.

Basically, it went online very hastily. Even Fanhai Film and Television, Mu Nanxing and the others felt a little uncertain about this movie.

The publicity resources invested are also relatively limited, and the bigger gimmick is Li Yi's return to the tear-jerking director.

Let's go back to the results of the screening.

In fact, "Heaven's Reply" is not really one-sided praise, in fact, there are also many people who don't like this movie.

"It's really sensational, but I believe that the script should indeed be written by Li Yi, but it emphasizes the logic of the script too much, and the details of life are not laid out enough. The father is completely absent, and the mother's work is too conceptual. At the end of the film, the grandfather obviously feels uncomfortable and refuses to eat. Is the medicine dying of sincerity? The clever part is probably on the theme of love between grandparents and grandchildren, which is indeed easier to empathize with."

"It's a provocative routine like "Mom Loves Me Again", but compared to "Mom Loves Me Again", the emotional foreshadowing and outburst of "Heaven's Reply" can be less deliberate, which makes me just feel sensational, except In addition, maybe this is a movie aimed at a certain group of people, anyway, as a person who has never seen my grandfather since I was a child, it is difficult to find a resonance point."

"Indeed, in terms of emotional resonance, I feel warm even though I have never experienced the family relationship with the elders, but it has not reached the point where children and elders will never get along with each other like this anymore. .”

"9 points is too high, 7 points at most, I am particularly indifferent to the emotional drama between grandparents and grandchildren, probably because I have never had any contact with male elders since I was a child, the missing blanks are difficult to understand through other people's stories Empathy. On the way to watch the movie, she was more from the perspective of a mother, looking at the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren and weighing the pros and cons. She tried her best to do her duty as a daughter-in-law and make up for the gap in the relationship with her son in recent years. The arrogance and aloofness criticized are just a series of moods of hope for a child to become a dragon. Arranging grandpa to die simply and neatly is an artistic trick, which makes the plot more concentrated. The sudden death of the old man makes people sigh, if it is paralyzed by urine After a few years of death, the cruel reality will show its fangs and tear the family relationship to pieces."

However, what surprised many people came later.
