National Day movie is still hotly debated, with the box office of "The Climber" breaking through the 1 billion mark, the total box office of the three movies has exceeded 6 billion, and now "My Motherland and Me" still maintains With a rate of 44%, "Captain China" followed closely, and the box office gap between the two films was only 100 million, indicating that the quality of the two films is very close.
However, "The Climber" is a bit embarrassing. When this film broke 1 billion, the other two movies were already rushing 3 billion. The reason for this situation is not because "The Climber" is not as good as the previous two. , But people’s expectations are a bit too high.
In the promotion stage of the film, when top casts such as Wu Jing, Hu Ge, and Zhang Ziyi appeared, many people had strong confidence in the film. The name Wu Jing alone was worth 3 billion at the box office, perhaps because Such high expectations make many viewers feel plain after watching the movie.
Among the most unacceptable to the audience is the plot. It was originally a very good story, the special effects are also of first-class level, the performance of the actors is also very good, but the addition of emotional lines makes the film a bit nondescript, a thrilling theme, it should be It was filmed like "Wandering Earth", and there is no lack of emotion. It is a pity that the director has such a meaning, it is too hard. The addition of emotional drama is not completely useless, but it is a bit out of tune with the plot of the whole movie. The chaos of personal heroism and vulgar love lines makes people really embarrassed to watch.
The audience’s high expectations are one reason, but not the most important reason. The most important reason is the director. The climber's current Douban score is 6.5. Looking at Li Rengang's films in the past 10 years, no film has a score of more than 7 points. Although he cannot be said to be a bad film director, the director's strength needs to be improved. The characteristics of the films directed by Li Rengang are obvious. It will never be a single subject. If you give him a thrilling and adventurous movie, he will add emotional scenes. If you give him a costume action movie, he will add tragic scenes. He is good at portraying delicately. The characters are unquestionable, but they lack the cohesion of the story.
Take "The Climber" as an example. Many of the sections are fake, jumping through cracks, flying over the wall, these scenes appear in martial arts movies, no one will feel embarrassed, but this is a film based on real events, it is completely unnecessary Turn the real story into an action movie. Superfluous, too late. The next-door movie "Captain China" is much better than the climber in portraying real events. In fact, when Li Rengang was chosen as the director, there were already complaints from the outside world, but since he also had the energy to direct blockbuster films before, movie fans also had a glimmer of hope for him.
Many people have a feeling after watching the movie. The special effects are shocking and the acting skills are outstanding, but at the end they are unclear. The flaws in the plot show that Li Rengang has not studied it. At the beginning, the script only had 3 time to finalize the script. It is difficult to believe that the quality of the script created during this time is very high. Moreover, Li Rengang has a background in fine arts and does not have a high level of knowledge in writing, so the plot of the movie is bad. It is also inevitable.
Even if the box office of the movie has exceeded 1 billion at present, it still has a box office gap of at least 500 million if it wants to recover. This also shows that without the support of the plot, no top special effects can make up. I hope that director Li Rengang will be on the plot in the future Examine it carefully
