On December 14, the movie "Manslaughter" starring Xiao Yang, Tan Zhuo, Chen Chong, Jiang Haowen, and Qin Pei, on the second day of its release, the box office in the mainland exceeded 100 million, with a forecast of 558 million at the box office. Douban scored 7.5 and Maoyan scored. Up to 9.5.
Compared with this, the movie "Sky Fire" released three days ago, although Wang Xueqi, Kun Ling, Dou Xiao played the leading roles, while Jay Chou was writing new songs for it, and was sparing no effort to promote it at the concert, but The mainland box office broke 100 million yuan, but it was one hour later than "Manslaughter", and the predicted box office was only 182 million. At the same time, the cat's eye score of the movie "Sky Fire" was only 8.0, and the Douban score was as low as 5.0, directly falling into the failing camp.
commented in one sentence on the two films released before and after: "Manslaughter" completely throws off "Sky Fire", Jay Chou will not be as good as Chen Chong with a glance.
Indeed, before the movie "Sky Fire" was released, a lot of effort was made in publicity. First, I got Wang Ju to sing the promotion song "A Fire in Winter". It is estimated that I wanted to catch the heat of Fei Xiang’s Spring Festival Evening Divine Comedy. Then Jay Chou actively promoted his wife Kunling’s movie on different occasions, and even played it. Own advantage, wrote a new song for the film. Many fans of Jay Chou who want to come, will go into the theater for the sake of their ears.
Not only that, but the movie "Heaven Fire" also brought in the famous Hollywood director Simon West to play the volcano adventure game, with the king’s sister-in-law Kunling, the old drama bone king Xueqi, and the face value responsible Dou Xiao, regardless of From any point of view, the film has the advantage.
But unfortunately, although the box office of the movie in the mainland exceeded 100 million in 3 days, the Douban score was shocking. The first opening was only 4.9 points. Even though it has rebounded, it is still in the Douban bad film camp. Therefore, some audience members joked that the box office of the movie "Heaven Fire" is not sure if they can sell Jay Chou's theme song.
Although Jay Chou worked hard to promote the movie "Heaven Fire", his new song could not be heard until the feature film was over and even the subtitles were finished. This made many viewers complain about the suspicion of bundling because they wanted to listen. For Jay Chou’s new song, you have to watch the 97-minute movie of Kun Ling first. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the film is not well-known on Douban. In this regard, some viewers joked: Sister-in-law should make more movies, then we will hear new songs every year. Although the
movie "Tian·Fire" is very famous, after watching it, I know that it can only be regarded as a moderate commercial film. The acting skills of the king’s sister-in-law, Kunling have improved, and the performance of the old drama Bone King Xueqi has not been selected. Dou Xiao is still so handsome. However, the film has a lot of slots. It was originally a thrilling movie, but when it came to the key scenes such as jumping the high-altitude railcar, the car falling off the mountain cliff, and reversing and flying over the rift, it was skipped. I don’t know if I wanted to save production. The cost is still afraid of scaring the audience. Of course, there are some slots. In order to prevent spoilers, I will not list them all.
On the other hand, the movie "Manslaughter" had almost zero publicity before it was released, but after the release, the reputation was surprisingly good, and the box office skyrocketed. After watching the movie, it gives people three feelings: First, although "Manslaughter" is a remake of the Indian film "Manslaughter" 4 years ago, it seems more attractive than the original version; second, it proves once again from "Detective Chinatown" "Chen Sicheng and Xiao Yang, who have become popular, have a good producer and an awesome acting; third, "Manslaughter" is definitely the most daring commercial film in 2019. The father's love is greater than the sky, which makes people move.
In the movie "Manslaughter", the police chief La Yun played by Chen Chong, an old drama player, has a very strong aura, and a look in his eyes makes people shudder. Xiao Hua was nearly 60 years old, and his textbook-style acting skills are even more perfect. Add a lot of color to the film.
