Currently, the top three domestic movies at the box office are "Wolf Warrior 2" directed by Wu Jing, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" directed by Dumpling, and "The Wandering Earth" directed by Guo Fan. These three films have created miracles in the history of domestic films. Although the themes and styles are completely different, one thing is the same, that is, the directors are not of a professional background.
Recently, the topic "Wu Jing dumplings and Guo Fan are not from a professional class" appeared on the Weibo hot search list. Wu Jing, a martial arts major, makes movies, medical major is an animation of dumplings, and law major Guo Fan is a science fiction. It sounds absurd and bizarre, but the box office score is there, which can only make people surprised.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has a total box office of 5.683 billion and a cat's eye score of 9.7; "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" has a total box office of 4.901 billion and a cat's eye score of 9.7; "Wandering Earth" has a box office of 46.54 and a cat's eye score of 9.2. The objective and accurate data appeared in front of everyone "simple and rude", which presumably made many filmmakers of academic background embarrassed.
Many people attribute the success of Wu Jing, Jiaozi, and Guo Fan to luck and timing. There is even a saying that "outsiders have occupied the top three thrones of China's box office." However, well-known film critic Tan Fei believes that "this is a loss." Fair and not objective". Tan Fei said that the three of them have a more accurate grasp of social experience, social cognition, and audience psychology. This is true of
. In addition to their rich social experience, Wu Jing, Dumplings, and Guo Fan have the following two personal charms that allow them to speak hard.
Hard-working, serious attitude towards filming
Wu Jing was born in a family of martial arts, and started martial arts at the age of 6. Although his long-term practice has sharpened his tenacity, it also left him scarred, his legs fell to the root of disease, and he often had to travel in a wheelchair. .
Even so, Wu Jing is still advancing. In the filming of "Wolf Warriors 2," the 37-year-old Wu Jing went to the army to experience the life of the barracks in order to perform the most realistic and appropriate look. He trained with the soldiers every day, including physical fitness, rock climbing, and vertical cable. This kind of professionalism is impressive.
deliberately study, interest is the best backing
dumplings graduated from medical school, driven by hobbies, began to learn animation production by themselves in their junior year, and after graduation, they also gave up from the medical profession to enter the advertising company. Gnaw the old", leaving home to work hard under the incomprehension and ridicule of outsiders. The visual effects of
used 20 outsourcing teams and nearly 1,600 staff. Several painters were pushed to change a role. The 66 version of the script was changed in two years before the final draft was finalized. The blockbuster of "Nezha's Devil Child Comes to the World" is not accidental but inevitable. This kind of "ingenuity" spirit is really rare in this "fast food era".
When Guo Fan was filming "The Wandering Earth", the production level of domestic science fiction films was beyond the reach of foreign countries. However, in the state of "three noes" without experience, technology and foundation, Guo Fan relied on his hobbies. , Groping little by little, finally opened the door of Chinese science fiction movies.
strive for perfection, do the best
"The Wandering Earth", "Nezha's Devil Child Comes into the World" and "Wolf Warrior 2" these three movies have a common feature of excellence. The script, plot, story, shots and even every action is meticulous, all for excellence. The stories of Jiaozi and Wu Jing will not be introduced. Both of them are people who do not compromise for their work and their careers.
controls the audience’s emotions and handles the humor appropriately. The plot is quite "life".
"The Wandering Earth", "Nezha's Devil Child Comes into the World" and "Wolf Warrior 2" all have a common feature, which is very good. Control the "emotions" of the audience. For example, "Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior 2" make good use of the audience's pride in the strength of the motherland and the national spirit. "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" arouses the audience's thinking about good and evil, and earns At the same time, Nezha's adaptation of the story is reasonable and innovative, which is the key to success. Behind the success of
is the love and persistence of film. I hope more and more filmmakers can "not forget their original intentions" and jointly promote the development of domestic films.
