This year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is over, but its influence is not over. Many crews appeared on the film festival, including the new movie "The Party at South Station" starring Hu Ge. In other words, this is the first film work starring in Hu Ge's decision to transform after "Hunting Ground", completely breaking the embarrassing situation of only guest appearances in film works before. During the movie "The Climber" was released, although Hu Ge accompanied the crew to promote, he was only four times in the movie, but his role was still impressive.
As an audience, I feel that I have not seen Hu Ge on the silver screen for a long time. After bidding farewell to the field of TV dramas, Hu Ge's presence is much lower, but this is also the only way for actors to transform. For Hu Ge, " "The Gathering at South Station" is a more important work on his transition. The subject of the movie is not a literary and artistic film like the name, but a crime drama. In addition to Hu Ge, Liao Fan and Du Lunmei joined. Among them, Liao Fan is also good at crime movies.
"The Gathering at South Station" is the first movie starring Hu Ge. It is a well-deserved male number one. This work has a milestone significance, marking his complete transformation from the TV drama circle to the film circle, and it will be a big one. Frequent visitors on the screen. Therefore, the final result of "The Gathering at Southern Station" also advertises whether Hu Ge's road to the big screen is easy to follow.
Hu Ge's transformation is not easy to take. At first he became popular with the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series. As long as he mentions "The Sword", Hu Ge, whether it is Li Xiaoyao in "Sword and Sword 3" or Sedum in "Sword and Sword 3", the image is too popular. Moreover, after experiencing the car accident and Nirvana, Hu Ge no longer appeared in Xianxia dramas. The dramas he followed were mainly urban dramas and regular dramas. "Langya Bang" and "The Pretender" were his works during this period, and the effects were good, indicating that Hu Song's deep cultivation is quite effective. However, the subsequent "Hunting Ground" did not work well.
"Hunting Field" started broadcasting in 2017, but it was finished as early as 2015. The plot and production are still at the level of 2015. The final result is not good, the score is only 5.5, and the pass line is not reached. It may be that the failure of "The Hunting Ground" made Hu Ge realize the importance of transformation. In the following two years, he stopped taking TV series and devoted himself to the field of film. The biggest difference between
movies and TV series is the rhythm. TV series have many episodes and large volume, so the story can be told slowly. Domestic dramas often have fifty or sixty episodes, and most domestic dramas face the problem of "water mixing"; but such problems will certainly not appear in movies. So far, the longest movie is only 180 minutes and 3 hours, which corresponds to the volume of 4 episodes of TV series. Using 4 episodes or even shorter time to tell a complete story, the fast pace can be imagined, and the grasp of the rhythm is also one of the key factors for the success of the film.
"The Gathering at South Station" is 113 minutes long, and is positioned as a drama and crime film. Such films are becoming saturated in the market. Unless "The Gathering at Southern Station" is filmed with novelty, it is difficult to save the box office by relying solely on Hu Ge. And among the competing films released during the same period, there is the Hollywood commercial blockbuster "Game of the Brave 2: Fighting the Peak", which was raised for a week. This is an adventure film that wins by visual impact, and the starring is Johnson, which will surely be taken away. Part of the market, part of the box office. In addition, another Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar Exploration" was also released in the same period. This is a science fiction blockbuster, which is equally attractive to audiences.
For domestic films, Ge You's new work "Two Tigers" deliberately avoided the Lunar New Year stalls and was released in advance. Although Ge You has acted in a lot of bad movies in recent years, his movies still have the magic power to attract people to watch. In the case of multiple pincers, it is difficult for the partial literary film "The Party at Southern Station" to get a high box office. In addition, over 80% of the night scenes in "The Gathering at Southern Station", the overall picture of the movie is dark, and the visual effects are not dominant. It can only be won by word of mouth. Up to now, the score of "The Gathering at Southern Station" is 7.6, which is not low among domestic films, and word-of-mouth is guaranteed. The only thing that makes people worry about the final box office of the film.
