"Spider-Man: Far From Home" won five consecutive daily box office titles in the Mainland, and finally ushered in the competitor "Nine Dragons Unbeaten"
As of July 2nd, Spider-Man has surpassed 823 million in the Mainland box office in just 5 days. The total box office of the previous title "Spider-Man: Homecoming" was 770 million. With the blessing of "Reunion 4", the film has gained higher recognition from mainland audiences, and the reversing plot is quite novel in Marvel movies. It is also reasonable to become a big hit in the summer archive.
Zhang Jin’s new film "The Unbeaten Kowloon" chose to be released at this time. The hard-boiled little spider is indeed a bit hitting the stone with a pebble
. In fact, "The Unbeaten Kowloon" has escaped twice. A little embarrassed and ran away. The filming was completed in 2017, and Xue Zang was going to be released on April 30 this year in two years. Unexpectedly, "Reunion 4" was airborne and released on April 24, and domestically produced films have avoided the battle. "Kowloon Unbeaten" escaped until May 1, and then it was withdrawn directly.
now seems to change the schedule so frequently, the most important reason is that the film crew is not confident about the quality of the film itself. The film lineup is very luxurious. The male advocates that the popularity of Jin has risen in recent years. There are also famous names such as Zheng Jiaying, Liu Xinyou, Stephy Tang, and Lin Xue. Hong Kong Star. The villain Anderson Silva is also well-known in the MMA movement, and he is more than enough to make an action movie. The film director Chen Guo of
is the winner of the Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards for Best Director. The "Made in Hong Kong" film that took 500,000 to shoot is full of talent, but I have to say that the director's ability to make commercial films is really not enough.
"Nine Dragons" is only 100 minutes long, but almost every shot of the whole movie A detail is a slot. It can be said that the slot exceeds 100
. First, let’s talk about the title. Why is it called Kowloon when Zhang Jin plays the detective?
It turned out that when Jiulong went out to play by the lake when he was a child, he ran into a nine-headed dragon. The dragon fell in love with Jiulong and attached it to Jiulong, so Jiulong had dragon tattoos on his arms and other parts.
is such a nagging background, plus the 50-cent dragon that appears at the end of the film. People can't help but want to laugh
As for the movie plot, it is even more fragmented. It's like a movie
, which is a piece of several action clips, said that a serial murder of policewomen occurred in Hong Kong. Our capable police detective in Kowloon came to a scene to lead a snake out of the cave. Unexpectedly, the killer captured the fiancée of Kowloon. Kowloon must not do it, so he caught up.
led the snake out of the hole well, not only was the policewoman shivering as the decoy, but at first glance there was a problem. Even the Jiulong mission did not bring a gun. This kind of unreasonable plot arrangement is just for an unarmed play.
Kowloon did not catch the killer, and his wife was gone. According to the old routines of Hong Kong movies, Kowloon is depressed and decadent. A few years later, similar cases occurred in Macau. Now the spirit of Kowloon came, and when I arrived in Macau, I realized that the real target of the killer was Kowloon.
Jiulong’s defeated player Xian Lishan said on his face that I was not a good person. But who would have thought that this person had done so many things just to fight Jiulong again. Such a cruel person's mind is so simple, just break into Kowloon and beat him up. This motivation is really to create suspense in the movie and ignore the audience's IQ.
In the end, Kowloon was a bit unable to beat Xian Lishan, so I asked if you believe it or not, I will find a dragon to kill you. Xian Lishan didn’t believe it, but the result was that
was killed. Of course, the story is nonsense. I guess the director himself feels embarrassed. At the end of the film, it was also hinted that Kowloon may have mental problems, but there were witnesses and traces of waves in the battle. The director couldn't justify himself. The publicity also made a gimmick of the first magical action film in Chinese. In short, the more the movie goes to the later stage, the more uncomplicated feel. The plot is full of grooves. This time Zhang Jin's action scenes are more foolish.
's actions in "Slaying the Wolf 2" and "Ip Man 3" The style is gorgeous and full of punches, but this time "The Nine Dragons" has become more than gorgeous, and punches are not enough. The action scenes are also stingy. In order to show the destructive power, they are constantly smashing things. Beating and smashing gives people a strong sense of visual fatigue. Bad films like
avoid "Reunion 4", but hit "Spider-Man 2" as well. The box office box office of the movie
was only 10.3 million on the first day. It is reported that the cost of the film is around 130 million. According to the current box office trend, there is basically no expectationThe most regrettable thing about the
movie is that Zhang Jin
has finally managed to get out of it in recent years and became the male number one. The vision for filming is really bad. The actor's "Crazy Beast" and "Ip Man Side Story: Zhang Tianzhi" had a bleak box office reputation. This "Nine Dragons" Douban scored only 3.4 points!
and Zhang Jin’s starred Hollywood special movie "Escape The Golden Cicada 3: Devil’s Station" is going to be released again, and I am afraid it will lose a lot of favorability
and Zhang Jin. It is a pity that there is also a Chinese-language action film
after Jackie Chan and Jet Li , There is no real Kung Fu superstar in the Chinese film world. At 55 years old, Donnie Yen is still repeating the routine of hitting foreigners. Whether "Ip Man 4" can be successful is still a question. While Wu Jing's box office appeal is amazing, but "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Wandering Earth" are far from traditional action movies. Zhao Wenzhuo, who insists on making kung fu movies, has no sense of existence.
If Zhang Jin picks up movies like this, I'm afraid he will repeat Zhao Wenzhuo's old path
