1. "A Westward Journey"
Now no one does not know "A Westward Journey", and not many people criticize it, and it is still re-screened in the cinema. This work, which was called a classic by later generations, is also a quotation from this movie, which made Stephen Chow crowned as a "master of post-modern deconstruction", but it was a pity that only 200,000 box office was released in the mainland.
2. "The Sun Also Rises"
2007 was released, director Jiang Wen's work, the box office was dismal. Director Jiang’s works have always been highly polarized. Those who like them are regarded as masterpieces, and those who don’t like them are discarded. Perhaps for Director Jiang, mixed reputation is the highest evaluation of his works.
3. "Ocean Paradise"
is a rare literary movie, although there are big stars to help out, but it still loses money at the box office. After all, the literary and artistic films in domestic films may be relatively small, and few have achieved good results.
4. "The Great Tribulation"
is a movie that respects history very much. It has a high degree of restoration of Ming's clothing, weapons, firearms, etc. It is a pity that the box office is not ideal. On the other hand, many high-grossing domestic costume movies are mostly spoofing history, not paying attention to details, and they are enthusiastic through traffic artists. It is a question worth pondering.
5. "Evil Evil in the East"
"Evil Evil in the West" can be counted as one of Wong Kar-wai's pinnacle works. A classic martial arts movie, the pinnacle of literary martial arts, the box office was extremely bleak.
6. "The Piano of Steel"
is typically applauded and not popular. The reputation and the difference in the box office are surprising and worth pondering.
7. The film "The Good Man in Three Gorges"
won the honor of the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Lion Film Festival.
However, after being screened in China, the box office was only a few thousand in two days, and finally only tens of thousands.
It is worth mentioning that this movie has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in the box office in the United States.
8. "Sedikbale"
is polarized at the box office. This epic masterpiece was a huge success in Taiwan, but failed miserably in the mainland, but this is also inseparable from the indiscriminate deletion of this movie in the mainland.
However, this is a movie that is definitely worth going to the cinema. You don't need to think about the so-called culture, colonization, estrangement, and ethnicity. You just need to see how men should fight, and see their blood and wildness.
9. "Flying Against the Light"
was once known as one of the best Taiwanese films in 2012, and the director Zhang Rongji won the Golden Horse Best New Director Award the following year because of this excellent work. It's a pity that there is not much left.
10. "The Detective"
participated in the 64th Venice International Film Festival as the finale surprise movie. It is a masterpiece of Hong Kong films in recent years. When it was released in the mainland, the box office was surprisingly dismal.
guessed that the reason for the box office failure was that the dubbing and content were drastically deleted.
Many artists only became famous after their deaths, and movies are the same. Many excellent works were born out of time and the box office was bleak. Many years later, they were praised and praised. Due to the production conditions and environment at the time, the artists were also quite helpless.
However, we believe that the era of failure of good movies at the box office will slowly pass. In the future, we will see excellent domestic films with good reputation and box office harvest, allowing excellent filmmakers to regain their confidence! The quality of
domestic movies will definitely become better, and inferior money-making works will eventually be eliminated.
