Douban is currently the most authoritative movie scoring website in China. I believe there is no problem with this conclusion. However, this does not conceal the basic fact that Douban Film Critics has always discriminated against and devalued domestic films and blindly praised Hollywood films. Some readers may disagree with
. Then I ask everyone, in the past two years, what do you think the overall quality of domestic films is, compared with Hollywood blockbusters, can you break your wrists? Do you think the overall quality of domestic films is better, or the overall quality of Hollywood movies? Or the overall quality of domestic films is still lagging behind Hollywood blockbusters, but they have been improving?
I think the overall quality of domestic films in the past two years can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, especially since "Wolf Warriors 2" turned out, there have been a number of excellent films with good reputation at the box office, and domestic films have completely occupied the box office. All 3 billion-level movies are domestically produced, which is a phenomenon that has never appeared in Chinese movies before. At present, 9 of the top ten spots in the box office of Chinese movies are all domestic films, and the top three are all domestic films, that is, "Reunion 4" occupies the fourth place. The movie box office of
reflects the real money and silver vote of the audience. From this perspective, the overall quality of domestically produced commercial films in the past two years should not lose to Hollywood blockbusters.
Even domestic films may still be slightly inferior to Hollywood blockbusters, but I think the gap is very small, and our audiences have a natural affinity for domestic film culture, so the overall impression of domestic films in the past two years is not lost to Hollywood blockbusters. .
I believe this is the overall feeling of most viewers.
is then reflected in the film rating, that should be the number of high-scoring movies of domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters, right?
So, what is the difference between the number of high-scoring domestic films in Douban Films and the number of Hollywood films in the past three years? What is the difference between Maoyan’s high-scoring domestic films and the high-scoring number of Hollywood movies?
I think it must be very interesting to study this.
So, let’s compare Maoyan and Douban in the number of domestic films and Hollywood high-scoring films. See what happens.
Generally speaking, the scores of Maoyan are relatively high, and 9 points are basically the standard for excellent movies. And movies with a score of less than 8 are basically bad movies in Maoyan's eyes.
I selected all the movies with scores of 9 or more in Maoyan from 2016 to 2018, deducting documentaries and those with less than 100,000 scores. The reason why the number of ratings is 100,000 is because the number of ratings is too small. For example, if it is less than 10,000, it is basically controlled by fans or the film crew and has no credibility. As for documentaries, everyone knows that they are shown in theaters. Generally high scores, of course, the number of scorers is also very small.
For example, Sun Haiying starred in the movie "One Person's Classroom", which is a typical case.
We started from 2016. This year, Maoyan only had 19 movies with a score of more than 9 points, of which 7 were domestic films. After deducting 2 documentaries and 1 work with a score of less than 10,000, there were actually 4 commercial films that met the standard. It is "Operation Mekong", "Hundred Birds in the Phoenix", "Mermaid" and "Bear Infested"; Hollywood movies accounted for 9; Japanese movies accounted for 3.
In 2017, there were 33 movies with 9 points in Maoyan, of which 21 were domestic movies. After deducting 6 documentaries and 5 works with a score of less than 10,000, 10 commercial films have reached the standard, namely "Wolf Warriors 2", "Ice Fist of Shame", "Sewing Machine Band", "Predecessor 3", "Bear Infested" , "Bomb Disposal Expert", "Pride and Prejudice", "Fang Hua", "Chasing the Dragon" and "The Founding of an Army"; Hollywood and European films account for 10; Indian films and Japanese films each account for 1 film.
In 2018, there were 38 movies with a 9-point score of Maoyan, of which 18 were domestically produced. After deducting 8 documentaries and 2 works with a rating of less than 100,000, 8 domestic commercial movies met the standard, namely "I am not a medicine god", "Operation Red Sea", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Detective Chinatown 2", "The Curse of the Wind", "Sorrowing Against the River", "Bears Infested", "Dad, I Will Go" and "The Unknown";
Hollywood and European films account for 12, but only 9 meet the criteria; Indian films account for 6 but there are also 2 films with less than 100,000 ratings; Japanese films account for 2 films.
Generally speaking, Maoyan’s ratings basically reflect Chinese moviesThese 3 years of development and progress.
2016 domestic films were basically bad except for "Mekong Operation", and Maoyan did only 4 domestic films that achieved 100,000 ratings or more than 9 points this year. Since 2017, the quality of domestic films has gradually improved, so Maoyan’s domestic 9-point movies have also improved a lot. This is basically consistent with the general public's basic impression of domestic films.
So don't underestimate the score of Maoyan. Although it is a bit high, it is quite accurate according to its evaluation standard.
In the past three years, Maoyan has rated more than 100,000 films with a score of 9 points. There are 22 domestic films and 28 European and American films. This digital gap basically represents the current gap between domestic commercial films and Hollywood blockbusters. If you don't count 2016, you can also say that the overall quality of domestic commercial films and Hollywood blockbusters in the past two years is basically the same.
Of course, this is not to say that Maoyan’s scoring of movies is more accurate than Douban. This article does not mean that. In fact, I think many scores of cat's eye are high. I’m just saying that Maoyan has absolutely no double standards in its treatment of domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters. It must be high and high, and it must be low and low for unintelligible literary and artistic films. It uses the same standard to treat domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters. Hollywood films.
Then let's take a look at how Douban has scored domestic films in the past three years?
Generally speaking, domestic films, especially commercial films, can get 7 points on Douban, which is rare. A score of 7 for domestic films on Douban is at least equivalent to a score of 8.5 for Maoyan.
Here we only discuss domestic commercial films, so literary films and documentaries are not included in the discussion, and some niche films have too few ratings and are not included. Let's take the box office over 100 million as the standard.
In 2016, domestic commercial films scored more than 7 points on Douban, only 7 were "Mekong Action", "Donkey Gets Water", "July and Ansheng", "Romantic Demise", "Hot Pot Heroes" and " Chill 2" and "The Murderer".
In 2017, Douban domestic commercial films scored 7 points or more. In addition to the animated film "The Guardian", they were "Wolf Warriors 2", "Fanghua", "Embroidery Sword 2", "Memory Master", "Chasing the Dragon" and "Chunjiao Save Zhiming".
In 2018, the quality of domestic films improved by leaps and bounds, and 11 commercial blockbusters scored 7 points on Douban, namely "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Operation Red Sea", "A Good Show", "Unparalleled", "The Unknown", "Wuwen Xidong", "Slaying the Wolf and Greed the Wolf", "Find You", "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness", "Shadow" and "Animal World".
Over the past three years, a total of 25 domestic film shows have scored 7 points or more on Douban. If we set the standard at 8 points, there will be only five. Among them, there was only "Donkey Gets Water" in 2016, and no one in 2017.
This is Douban's assessment criteria for domestic commercial films.
So, how does Douban judge Hollywood blockbusters?
is too much. Because there are too many, I will not do complete statistics. Of course, this includes not only Hollywood movies that are released in China, but many of them that are not released in China are also scored on Douban. Basically, it can be said that Hollywood movies have a score of less than 7 on Douban, and that's only a minority. Apart from anything else, we only count more than 10 movies from Marvel in the past 3 years (including "Venom", "Wolverine" and "Spiderman" and other non-Marvel Studios productions), except for not being seen by Chinese audiences "Black Panther", the others are all above 7 points.
Let's just look at the 2018 Hollywood movie Douban scores, that's it.
only read the first 2 pages, 13 Douban scores exceeded 7 points, and 7 scores exceeded 8.
means that Hollywood movies are the movies that scored more than 8 points on Douban in 2018, which is more than all the domestic movies that scored more than 8 points in the past three years. This is just one year's number.
2017 Hollywood movies are rated like this on Douban.
will not list much, basically all of them are above 7 points, and there are many movies with 8 points. Due to the large number of
, and there are some Hollywood movies that have not been released in China, they also have more than 7 points on Douban, so the specific numbers are not easy to count. If
only counts Hollywood movies released in China, the Douban score exceeds 7 points each yearAt least 20 or more, basically 2-3 domestic commercial films.
Through the above comparison, we can draw conclusions.
According to the Maoyan score, in the past three years, especially in the two years from 2017 to 2018, the number of high-scoring movies from domestic films and Hollywood high-scoring movies is about the same, and even domestic films are slightly higher.
scores on Douban. It seems that there is still a long way to go between domestic commercial films and Hollywood blockbusters. Compared with the number of high-scoring movies in Hollywood, the number of high-scoring movies made in China is far less.
This is the basic situation of the two film review websites, Douban and Maoyan.
So which one do you think is closer to the real situation?
Finally, I still want to declare: This article does not mean that Maoyan score is more authoritative than Douban. This article also agrees that Douban is still the most authoritative movie scoring website in China. But it can only be said that Douban Film Critic is a bit serious about double standardization of domestic films and Hollywood films.
should automatically increase Douban's ratings of domestic films by about 0.5 points, and automatically decrease the ratings of Hollywood movies by about 0.5-1 points. I'm afraid it will be close to the true level of this movie. What do you think
