Chapter 484 Premiere Day

Chapter 484 Premiere Day

On August 22nd, there was a Friday. On this day, the blockbuster movie "Martial Arts" finally ushered in its grand national premiere!
Before that, the box office in China was almost a competition between "Hot Pot Hero" and the controversial "Sewing Machine Band". Even the three urban comedies that were released later could not shake the leading edge of the first two films.

However, this situation is about to usher in a huge change after the premiere of "Martial Arts" today, and what the media are looking forward to is whether this big movie "Martial Arts" with a big production, a big director, and a big star can be as some people said. , carry the box office of this summer file?

However, compared to the disappointment of "Sewing Machine Band" before, the media people are a lot more careful this time, and they seldom make a conclusion before watching it. Everyone waits to comment after watching the premiere.

At 08 o'clock in the evening, director Chen Kexin, the three leading actors, Donnie Yen, Jin Chengwu, and Tang Wei all showed up one after another, and some other stars also came to help out on the platform, making a lot of noise. It was not until 30:[-] that the movie theater quieted down again. Everyone raised their heads seriously and watched the movie start!
After all, it's only the premiere, so many people won't be able to see it. Even though some people are eager to know the quality of the movie, they can only wait patiently.

In the other theaters tonight, since there is no show of "Martial Arts", the competition between "Hot Pot Heroes" and "Sewing Machine Band" is still the main one.

The two films have already started the national theater competition.

As early as seven o'clock, the ticket sellers in various theaters mechanically sold movie tickets one by one, and after more than 30 minutes, the shock in their hearts could not be added.

"The number of votes for "Hot Pot Heroes" surpassed that of "Sewing Machine Band" for the first time!" Both of them looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

As conductors, they are naturally very sensitive to the number of votes for the two hottest recent dramas.

Usually, "Sewing Machine Band" is much more than "Hot Pot Heroes". Even though "Sewing Machine Band" is a mess on the Internet, but judging by the box office results, it seems that there is not much difference, especially the owners of the greenhouses and theaters. At the beginning, the contract was bigger, and the screening time and times were more, so even though the attendance rate in the previous week was not as good as that of "Hot Pot Heroes", the number of votes per day was still much higher than that of "Hot Pot Heroes".

However, with the beginning of a new week, the theater bosses have spontaneously adjusted the number of screenings and schedules of "Hot Pot Heroes" and "Sewing Machine Band", especially the addition of the blockbuster "Wu Xia" from tomorrow, "Hot Pot Heroes" and "Sewing Machine Band". The filming of Sewing Machine Band is bound to usher in a sharp decline.

And today, will be the last day before the advent of "Wu Xia", "Hot Pot Heroes" and "Sewing Machine Band" will be the last time to grab the box office. After that, once "Wu Xia" is released, everyone's prediction is, other The box office of the movie will be greatly reduced, especially "Sewing Machine Band", which has been released for two weeks and has not been well received by word of mouth!
Today, the trend of "Hot Pot Hero" surpassing "Sewing Machine Band" in ticket sales can also be said that these two movies that have been competing for a long time have finally come to a head!
"What the hell is going on here?! Wasn't "Hot Pot Heroes" not popular before? Why did it explode suddenly!" a conductor murmured.

"It's such a surprise--it's unexpected--"

"One piece of "Hot Pot Heroes." When someone handed over the money again, the conductor had habitually taken it to "Hot Pot Heroes".

"Hey?!" He touched it twice, only to find that it was sold out!

"Sold out?!" He looked at the empty ticket warehouse in surprise, looked at the people who bought tickets, and then looked at the ticket warehouse, feeling a little unacceptable in his mind.This situation is really too rare!
On the same day as the premiere of "Martial Arts", "Hot Pot Heroes", which had always been lukewarm, suddenly became popular. Tickets in theaters in several cities were sold out for the first time!
"Sorry, sold out."

"Sold out?!"

"There are also tickets for "Sewing Machine Band". Do you need it?"

""Sewing Machine"--I've seen it, it's not good at all."

"Then why don't you watch "Single Man and Woman" or "Being Rich Again", these are movies in which members of the NLZ group Three Sisters participated."

"Okay then, give me a copy of "Be a Rich Man"."

Similar scenes frequently appeared in major theaters across the country on this night.

Everyone knows that there will be a blockbuster movie "Martial Arts" tomorrow, so when everyone chooses a movie tonight, they will naturally choose the movie that they want to watch the most or are most worth watching.

Like "Sewing Machine Band", "Being a Rich Man", and "Surprise All the Way" are directly excluded by many people because of their reputation, and "Hot Pot Heroes" has always been stable at the box office because it has no popular selling points. Watching is a long way to go, but there are not many people watching movies every day. However, when "Martial Arts" is about to be released, some viewers who are unwilling to waste a night at home, and those who have not watched "Hot Pot Heroes" ", or those who hesitated, chose "Hot Pot Heroes" this night.

Because when "Martial Arts" is released, I am afraid that everyone really has no idea to go back and watch "Hot Pot Heroes", or simply to pass the boring time tonight. works, isn't it logical to choose "Hot Pot Heroes"?
However, when the news was known to the studio director who was anxious because of the box office these days, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"You can only eat for a week on your laurels? And a really good movie will not be buried by public opinion, not to mention that both public opinion and audiences are on the side of "Hot Pot Heroes." In the hotel, the greenhouse muttered reading the latest movie reviews, with a serious expression on his face. There is no expression on the face.

In the dark night, he sat on the sofa in the hotel by himself, as if thinking about something.

Half an hour later, there was a loud "bang", and he almost knocked over the table beside him.

"It's just a new young director, but a few young artists who haven't even won awards a few times, how can He De surpass my film!" A different look finally appeared on his young face.

It was the anger, anger, unwillingness, and disbelief expressed after suppressing anxiety for a long time. Various expressions froze together, making him look like a completely different person from what everyone usually sees.

"I am a genius who made "Pancake Man" in his first big movie! I am a genius director whose first movie box office broke one billion! I am a big director who entered the billion club!"

"What are they! A young man whose movie box office is even less than mine! What qualifications are there to surpass my movie!"

"A group of reporters who don't know anything! A group of audiences who don't understand the movie! They dare to draw conclusions!"

In his heart, there are mixed feelings.It's like a genius of the new generation recognized by the rivers and lakes, but was defeated by an unknown person who had just debuted in the martial arts competition!This is simply stepping on your own dead body to become famous!
Although the other party may never have this idea, it is the truth!
That night, the box office statistics shocked the investors and publicity teams of the two films.As for the others, they are all paying attention to the premiere of "Martial Arts", and they don't even bother to pay attention to the two "old" movies that are about to be crushed by "Martial Arts"!
However, according to the statistics of this day, "Hot Pot Heroes" has 6589 million! "Sewing Machine Band", 4569 million!
With almost the same film schedule and number of shows, this result is enough for everyone to see the gap between the two films, not to mention, in terms of attendance, "Hot Pot Heroes" is nearly 20% more than "Sewing Machine Band" .

"It's worth it! If my sister didn't pull me to watch "Hot Pot Heroes", I would really watch "Sewing Machine Band"! But now I can guarantee that "Hot Pot Heroes" is good! Very good, at least far beyond My psychological expectations!"

"Ning Tong and Chen Kun are both great in acting, they look like a good match!"

"The robber who robbed is really handsome! What a surprise!"

On the forum, the full page is popular, and all of them are full of praise. When "Martial Arts" is in the limelight, the box office of "Hot Pot Heroes" is just for fun among movie fans, but the media has always been concerned about it. It's all on "Martial Arts"!

And as the premiere of "Martial Arts" ended, the next day, a large number of media reporters published their comments one after another!

First of all, the positive, professional film critic from "Huaxia Film" magazine!
""Martial Arts" is a martial arts film with a strong literary and artistic temperament in the Chinese film industry. In addition to the martial arts scenes, it makes people want to watch it a second time.

The performances of Donnie Yen and Kim Sung-wu (especially Kim Sung-wu) in the play are amazing and memorable.Because Liu Jinxi played by Donnie Yen hides his secret life experience, he is inherently required to perform a composite character who is both good and evil. He must hide deeply, but not so deep that it will be self-defeating. Already guessed the answer.In the farewell scene in the dense forest, Liu Jinxi's unpredictable behavior confuses Xu Baijiu played by Kim Sung-oh, and also confuses the audience.Donnie Yen finally found out that his calm and majestic eyes had other potentials after playing countless brave and ruthless roles.

Kim Sung-oh deserves more special praise.After years of refinement, this idol has undergone a gorgeous transformation in "Martial Arts", with round glasses, Sichuan dialect, a tendon, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. He doesn't seem to use too much force to make the role of Xu Baijiu appear It was completely tailor-made for him.

This is a sincere work, worth recommending!I give five-star praise! "

Then the column of "China Film and Television" wrote, ""Martial Arts" presents a strange world in the eyes of detectives in a special period, but in the hearts of anonymous "heroes", this world is dangerous and gloomy, and it is difficult to end well.

The roles played by Donnie Yen and Kim Sung-go are both enemies and friends, each showing their special abilities. From acquaintance in a case to understanding each other, Donnie Yen and Kim Sung-go interpret the transformation from doubting human nature to believing in human nature.The play design in the film is wonderful.Whether it is fighting or Wing Chun, fighting or weapons, it is dizzying.It is worth mentioning that Donnie Yen has also made breakthroughs in literature and drama, especially in the scene with Tang Wei, showing a forbearing and caring man.

Influenced by American dramas, the film has a very strong "suspense" color, basically starting from the suspense, using reasoning to examine martial arts, and some strange meridians and acupoint techniques that ordinary people have never heard of, through the detective Xu Baijiu played by Jin Chengwu in the film. The mouth is clear.In this way, various types of styles are integrated, and there is a formal innovation.

Generally speaking, this new martial arts movie softens the suspenseful color, and it seems to be a bit like the work of Master Gu Long. However, when martial arts movies have declined in recent years, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have such a different movie. Therefore, I recommend it with four stars, and viewers who want to refine martial arts and suspense should not miss it! "

Of course, it is almost too difficult to get good reviews from all film critics, so there will inevitably be negative reviews.

First of all, the "New Film" magazine, which has always been strict, criticized the film!

""Martial Arts", after picking up the tooth wisdom that was no longer used a hundred years ago, and throwing away the huge and empty title, it is actually about scientific investigation. The story of the Chinese version of Conan originally needs to be rigorous, similar to Detective novels, but combined with martial arts, inevitably conflict. The reason is that scientific detectives talk about science, while martial arts talk about romance and fantasy. The actual author can't write martial arts novels well. This is something that is in conflict, but it is abruptly put together, which creates a feeling of dissimilarity.

This was an abandoned method, but now it is picked up by Chen Kexin.In the second half of the story, the story can no longer be made up, so the so-called "scientific martial arts" promoted in the first half can't be seen in the second half. You really don't understand what he is talking about.As for Jiang Wu and others' inexplicable soy sauce, Jin Chengwu's inexplicable change in attitude is even more innumerable, especially the ending is even more hateful. A kung fu master can't be beaten to death.This is inseparable from the chamber of secrets, and it is no different from finding a Chinese person to go through the wall.What a disappointment!
Finally, as a film critic, I gave this movie a two-star rating, and I do not recommend buying tickets to watch it! "

Then there is "Asian Entertainment" magazine, which has always been less enthusiastic about martial arts movies.

"The film tends to fall into the disadvantages of martial arts movies. "Wu" is wonderful, but "Xia" is still not portrayed enough. Generally speaking, the separation between "Wu" and "Xia" comes from the shortcomings of the screenwriter. The photography and actors are good; But the story of the script is not so good, and the structure is not clear.

The story itself is very ordinary, martial arts movies come and go, and they have to retreat and have to come back.The more important problem is that the front and rear of the film are not unified enough. The main problem of the film is that it is divided, and it has everything. The front is about punishment and law, and the back is that Donnie Yen is going to quit the arena. It has nothing to do with any punishment. up.In fact, you can just talk about one thing well.

It seems that it has become a common problem of many movies nowadays to chew too much, so this movie is only rated at three stars. If you are bored, you can go in and watch it, but don’t have too much expectation. ! "

But generally speaking, the public opinion still prefers the evaluation of "Martial Arts". After all, it is a big production, a big director, and a big star. Everyone expects this movie to surprise everyone at the box office!
