Although there has not yet been a domestically produced “golden machine” like "You are a young man" in December, in general, domestic films still show a prosperous trend, such as "The Gathering at Southern Station", "Manslaughter", and "Caught by Light". Scores such as "People" are above the pass line, especially "Manslaughter", the Douban score has soared to 7.7 points, is expected to become the best domestic crime film of the year. "Only Yun Knows", "Half Comedy" and "Special Police Team" which will be unveiled in late December are all domestically produced films that can be expected.
Of course, in the new domestic films in December, there are also some works that did not meet expectations. For example, Lei Jiayin and Tang Wei's "Whistleblower" suffered a double loss at the box office and word-of-mouth. The director of the film is named Xue Xiaolu, who has successfully directed it. I have seen "Beijing Meets Seattle", but she seems to be an overrated female director. Among the six chapters of "My Motherland and Me", I personally think that "Return" directed by Xue Xiaolu is the worst one of them. .
Looking back on the new December film, compared to the unexpected loss of "The Whistleblower", "Sky Fire" starring Jay Chou and Mrs. Kun Ling is an unexpectedly bad film. There are at least two reasons why "Sky Fire" is not favored. One is that this is an old-fashioned work. A disaster film about volcanic eruptions. Hollywood made "Heavens and Earth Break" and "Living Fire City" more than 20 years ago. Films, in addition, in recent years, there have been "2012", "Pompeii Doomsday", "Doomsday Collapse" and other magnificent geological disaster films have come out. The audience may be tired of such films.
The second reason why Skyfire is not favored is that it is a Chinese film made by a Hollywood director. In recent years, with the boom of the Chinese mainland movie market, many Hollywood directors have gone to China to pan for gold. For example, Renee Haring, who has filmed classic Hollywood action films such as "Die Hard 2" and "Fresh Wind", In one breath he directed three Chinese films, "Escape from the Jedi", "Gu Jian Qi Tan Zhi Liu Yue Zhaoming" and "The Silent Witness". In addition, the director of the movie "Three Lives III Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" starring Liu Yifei and Yang Yang is also a Hollywood filmmaker, who also worked as a special effects artist for the old version of Spider-Man. These Chinese films made by Hollywood directors all have one common feature: bad films-almost nothing else.
The director of "Sky Fire" is Simon West. This person has directed "Prison in the Air", "General's Daughter", "Tomb Raider" and other well-known Hollywood works. In recent years, the screen record has been poor, and he has been mixed in low-cost action all the time. Film field. "Sky Fire" is an attempt by Simon West to enter the Chinese market, which is obviously not a success. The film’s current rating on Douban is only 4.9 points. Among the domestic films released during the same period, the rating is the worst. The final box office of the film in the Mainland will not exceed 200 million.
The biggest selling point of "Sky Fire" in the Mainland is obviously the heroine Kun Ling. After Kunling became the "Sister-in-law of the Heavenly King", some film works came out, but she seemed to have a general vision for filming. Apart from the fact that she played the female killer in Dashi Johnson's movie "Sky Rescue", which was well received, she starred in Kunling. Her other films are not only popular, but her acting skills are also widely questioned. Some people even think that she is possessed by Angelababy.
However, Kunling still received strong support from her husband Jay Chou this time. It is said that Jay Chou felt very good after watching "Sky Fire", so he decided to "open for business" and teamed up with his old partner Fang Wenshan to create the theme song for his wife's new movie. "I Believe So", this is Jay Chou once again composed music for a movie since he wrote the theme song for his movie "Rooftop Love" six years ago.
is different from the bad reputation of "Skyfire", "I Believe So" has received a lot of praise, and the current broadcast volume on the music platform is also quite amazing, but obviously, this song did not save the box office of "Skyfire" . (Author: Brother Xiucai)
