The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 587 The Birth of the Biggest Dark Horse of the Year
After the premiere of "Li Yannian", the first round of feedback was quickly shared by excited military fans on the Internet.

It's not that ordinary audiences don't like "Li Yannian", or can't see the goodness of "Li Yannian", but that military fans can realize the difference of "Li Yannian" compared with other gift war films in the past more clearly than ordinary audiences .

They can keenly capture more details of the movie, but they are also tortured by other similar movies.

Therefore, the degree of surprise of military fans is higher, and the reaction is the most intense.

Amway is also the most enthusiastic.

Due to various reasons such as the subject matter, cast lineup, and film schedule, "Li Yannian" is not like Chen Jingxing's movie, or "Sky Eagle Warrior", which is the protagonist of the media and audience, and the darling of the theaters.

It doesn't mean that no one pays attention to it. DreamWorks and China Film and Television have also made great efforts to promote it.

It's not as hot as DreamWorks' other blockbusters.

This is also very normal. In a movie, the subject matter, genre and style are often more decisive factors than actors, directors, and companies.

"Li Yannian" lacks gimmicks, and a more traditional theme movie that is not science fiction, suspense, or love is difficult to arouse the interest of audiences, especially active Internet users.

However, when the word-of-mouth on the night of the premiere came out, the popularity of debuffs with disadvantaged themes quickly increased on the Internet.

And in the daytime of the next day, when more and more viewers who watched the movie and film critics posted more detailed and meaningful praise, the topic and popularity of "Li Yannian" began to spread across the Internet.

It also drove the subsequent pre-sales to rise steadily. Even audiences who are not very interested in this kind of Korean war movie still have many want to find out out of curiosity about word-of-mouth.

Especially after the Douban score was released, the scores of DreamWorks movies have always been fast. After all, the scores have never been lowered. "Li Yannian" has no fan-black war, and the classification is normal.

9.2 minutes

It's very rare for a movie with a military theme to achieve this score.

Previously, the highest scores of domestic military films were "Operation Red Sea" and "Spike II" with 8.4 points.

A score of 9.2 is completely different from a score of 8.4.

Is there another war movie with the theme of offering gifts to the Korean War?

This is a little new.

In this way, "Li Yannian" has become a hot topic on Weibo, Douban, Zhihu and other websites.

Fans and film critics who have watched it also gave various fancy praises, either long-winded or concise.

【"Respect and trust are more precious combat power than weapons and equipment!"

Pinpin, this is the war-themed film and television work that the people love to see!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been so excited. As a military fan, I’m used to the wrong products and lack of military common sense in domestic war movies. After finally seeing such a conscientious work, I must blow it up. Don’t persuade me to be objective and calm.

We are not objective and calm!
I can even boldly say that "Li Yannian" can definitely match or even surpass the benchmarks of war works "Saving Private Soldier", "Band of Brothers" or "Generation Killer".

It will definitely leave a huge footprint in the history of world war-themed film and television.

Why is "Band of Brothers" an insurmountable classic?

It not only talks about how to fight in war, but also how to live in war. It not only pays attention to the details of battle, but also pays attention to the details of life.

It is difficult for you to substitute for war, but it is easy for you to substitute for life. When war becomes a way of life, you will unconsciously substitute for it, thus feeling a feeling that is difficult to create in war films:
reality.

If you can understand what I mean above, you can understand why the movie "Li Yannian" is awesome.

"Li Yannian" doesn't just talk about how to fight in a war, it also talks about how to work in a war, especially how political cadres work.

The work of political cadres was shown to the audience in detail: in addition to fighting wars, they also had meetings, conversations, and writing reports.

You will feel that the protagonists in this drama are much more tired and boring than those heroic protagonists in some domestic war dramas.

But when all kinds of details fill your senses, that feeling comes again:

real!

In addition to the reality, there are also very solid dramatic conflicts. From the deserter scene at the beginning to the rape scene later, one after the other, it is a textbook-level plot arrangement.

Offensive, defensive, minefield clearance, fire reconnaissance, counter-sniping, psychological warfare, decapitation, sparrow warfare, a movie is almost a tactical exhibition hall for the volunteers.

It is not uncommon to find out the law of the enemy's shelling and cross the line of fire, but I have never seen it in previous movies.

What I want to say is that after experiencing the yin and yang of "Assembly Number" to "Eight Hundred Revelation" and "Fanghua", this long-lost serious work that is responsible for history has finally appeared in our field of vision.

Some movies have professional mirroring, exquisite pictures, every frame is full of skill and technology, and the most academic people are impeccable, but it just doesn’t tell the story of Huaguo, and people can’t feel the spiritual core of the Chinese people.

We can work hard, but why do we sacrifice, just to complete the task or avenge our comrades, or for some shitty military honor?

Is such a vain thing like honor only available to soldiers?Who do you see win battles with honor?Wouldn't it be invincible to bring in the knight nobles in the Middle Ages?Would it be possible to bring the samurai from Japan next door who can cut their own seppuku to push the U.S. military back to the [-]th parallel?
Is there a brotherhood that KMT's army doesn't understand?Don't know crowd tactics?Do you not understand the honor of a soldier?

If it's just to avenge your comrades, then what's the difference between it and the western cowboy, and what's the difference between it and "True Tomorrow"?
Some people just don't believe that we have a simpler, more universal, and higher belief than brotherhood and what was called military honor in the old days.

I also don't believe that we can win without relying on individual heroes, crowd tactics, and the mercy of the enemy.

We are desperate for victory, for the compatriots in our hometown not to be disturbed by the flames of war, and for the enemy to fear our strength.

Directors who don't understand this can't make good domestic historical war dramas. They want to use Western or those obsessed with that set of vulgar values ​​to set on our soldiers, and what they end up shooting are completely different works. 】

[When I saw Chen Jingxing in the name of the screenwriter of "Li Yannian" on Encyclopedia, I was actually half relieved, and the movie even exceeded my expectations.

It is remarkable that domestic films have DreamWorks!I remember that some people with ulterior motives claimed that DreamWorks wanted to be the Disney of Huaguo, a monopoly, with such a level, such a never-ending climbing spirit, I wish he could monopolize it!

"The Mekong River" ushered in a new era of domestic military themes, and the military action trilogy also made domestic military action films reach a very high level of maturity.

Others are probably already satisfied, and they are already sitting on their great achievements and becoming self-indulgent, and they are already bragging about "I don't make movies, what do Chinese people watch".

However, DreamWorks raised the domestic military war film to a new level with "Li Yannian".

It can be said that it single-handedly promoted the two iterations of domestic military-themed works.

For the first time, it was commercial, making domestic military action films comparable to Hollywood and becoming possible mainstream commercial film themes.

This time, our nation-building battle, from conception to process to victory, is condensed into a small high-low offensive and defensive battle, which is vividly displayed.

Reached a higher level of war movies.

...]

[Confer the gods directly!
This film answers the core questions of the Korean War.

Why this war was fought, why it was won, how the battle was fought, what the soldiers and martyrs thought and did at the time.

In more than two hours, n flesh and blood images of people's heroes have been created, and they are definitely not American heroes.

It really beats certain movies a hundred times!
Some hermaphrodites are yin and yang again, and still think 9.2 points are high?I still think it's too low.

It's time to pin hats on people again, and you are still skilled in pinning hats.

Yes, DreamWorks is the "Red Factory", what's wrong?Those of you who are not popular directors and companies that are not popular have not seen their works exported overseas? 】

[When I heard that the dubbing of the mortar was not the "dong dong" in the previous ridiculous drama, but the original sound of the cannonball "swish", I knew that this movie was advanced.

The superlative is truth, and truth is truly superior.

In other words, DreamWorks is blooming in multiple lines. Gift films of this kind of theme can be shot with this level of texture. 2 million shots have produced many levels that 5 million and 10 billion can't shoot. It seems that they can be shot well. The work is actually a matter of attitude.

Apart from romance and comedy, DreamWorks probably doesn't have anything to play or not to make money with...

-

As reminded by the comment section, indeed, DreamWorks also has a set of romantic films, "Your Name" and "Mirage" are very touching, I hope to make more in the future]

[What impresses me the most is:
"Where's your class?"

"Where are your soldiers?"

"Where is the platoon commander and company commander?"

"The victories of the seven consecutive battles were achieved by the unified action of the platoon. Did you fight alone?"

The enlightenment also opened my eyes. It turns out that wars are fought in this way. In addition to fighting on the front line, there are also meetings and meetings to study the combat plan. It made me see what an organized and disciplined army is.

For the first time, I knew that the instructors were doing these jobs, which shows the level of the films we usually shoot.

Looking back now, the commanders in many domestic war films can only say: hit me hard!withstand!Go!kill!withdraw!
I've never seen anything good before. 】

The overwhelming praise and enthusiastic Amway also made "Li Yannian" surpass "The King of the Sky" on the third day of its premiere, and it surpassed "The King of the Sky" by twice.

The reversal of the film market is often not gradual, but rapid and rapid, which happens in a certain moment.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that "King of the Sky" began to suffer word-of-mouth stampede.

In addition to Jangho's marketing, its "polarized" word-of-mouth was also related to the lack of conspicuous reference objects in the same period.

Facing a war movie with a score of 9 or more, the "polarized" word-of-mouth reputation of "King of the Sky" also quickly slipped towards the single-level word-of-mouth reputation of "it's just a bad movie".

After 3300 million on the first day and 4900 million on the next day, on the first Saturday after the release of "Li Yannian", the single-day box office completely surpassed "The King of the Sky", dominating the theaters, and reported a receipt of 1.46 million. crown.

And Maotao’s box office forecast has jumped from the initial 8.7 million to 19.4 billion and 20.5 billion.

After all, the summer vacation has come to an end, and "Li Yannian" does have congenital flaws in terms of subject matter and cast lineup. To get such a result is already a change of fate.

The summer file, and even the biggest dark horse of the year were born from this.
