"Preaching in words. - Tang Lei"
June 5, 2020. The
movie "24 Hours of Internet Disconnection" starts.
finished about four months later. On May 5 this year,
released the first trailer and an official poster.
changed its name to "Break the Internet" and announced the Mid-Autumn Festival.
hasn't done anything since.
recently issued a statement.
announced the withdrawal.
has never been very optimistic about this movie. The primary reason for
is on director Huang Qingxun , and also because of his first movie " Mai Luren ". The subject matter of
's film is very good and the quality is not bad, but it obviously exposes the shortcomings of the director's film language and lack of creativity.
For example, in the opening scene, a teenager runs away from home. Is
related to the theme? It is related to
, which means rebellion and growth, as well as the importance of family relationships.
But the plot design and presentation are very poor, like the opening of a soap opera, with a loose rhythm and inattentiveness. There is no problem with
in a plain way, but it has to be able to catch people.
Take a look at another Aaron Kwok 's work " father and son " many years ago, the opening scene is very simple, the father and son, the road, the bicycle, the windmill, the cicada chirping, plain but warm, and then suddenly fell and the child woke up from the dream The connection can be described as a "magic stroke", a metaphor of shocking change, which is planted in the hearts of the audience.
And the opening minute and a half of "Mai Luren" is completely redundant. Like the three-minute supplement at the end, it is quite redundant. If
is directly cut off, starting from the overnight scene in the McDonald's store and ending when the bus lights go out, the rhythm of the whole movie will be much cleaner.
is another example of the story of Abo suffering from cancer. Many "Mai Luren" gave him a profit. The intention of
is obvious. It wants to highlight the mutual help and warmth between people, and it is also a reflection of the kind-hearted Abo who has taken care of others over the years. However, those who have not shown up before also join enthusiastically, which is abrupt and unnatural. , fell into the situation of forced screenwriter.
For another example, the movie did not give a more reasonable interpretation of Abo's mired in life as a financial talent.
These things all reflect the slight lack of polishing and thinking of the script, as well as the lack of precision in the narrative.
This is of course harsh.
is only in terms of the new director's debut.
received ten nominations from at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards , plus the fourth place in Hong Kong's top ten box office charts. In fact, in the Hong Kong film industry, it has been recognized. Compare
with the new directors of his peers. Weng Ziguang's two feature films before " Stepping on Blood and Seeking Plums " are not very influential, while Zhuang Wenqiang has been co-directing with Mai Zhaohui for many years before the official single. Fei, also soared into the sky in the second work " Wushuang ".
So it's not surprising that Aaron Kwok and Director Huang Qingxun started the second collaboration.
But this "Breakout" has always felt a little vague.
and from the plot to the characters, there is a full range of ambiguity. From the start of the film to the present, all we can know is the theme of cyber financial crime, involving the programmer and the AI program, as well as the pros and cons. Contest, or also involve some special effects.
Aaron Kwok has tried many new themes over the years.
can be regarded as a good actor with great courage, not lost because of the box office chase.
And if you are familiar with his shadow path.
would have known that he fell into some kind of stagnation after "Warriors" in 2018.
is very bizarre.
the last four years.
Aaron Kwok has only two films released, one is "Mai Luren", and the other is " Secret Visitor " which is very popular.
In fact, in the last ten years, Guo Fucheng not only cooperated with Gu Changwei and Yan Hao, Weng Ziguang's excellent film "z29"Z loves ", " Centennial Floating City ", "Treading the Blood to Seek Plums", as well as " Chills " and " Chills 2", which are well-received and box-office hits, and three "Journey to the West" movies with extremely high box office A series of films, as well as "Wu Shuang", which set a new box office record for Hong Kong films in the Mainland.
's reputation and box office performance made him the most dazzling Hong Kong actor in that decade.
But as mentioned above, since "Wu Shuang", its shadow path has suddenly stopped.
, especially " when the wind rises again", has been "coming soon" almost every year since its debut in 2018, and has also released patch advertisements several times, but it has always been close to the audience.
and "Breakout" was officially announced four months in advance, but it was withdrawn. Is
an escape file?
said frankly, even though he didn't like the movie because of the vagueness in the movie announcement.
However, in view of Aaron Kwok's attitude towards movies and director Huang Qingxun's basically excellent level, it can be roughly concluded that the quality of this "Breakout" will not be bad, at least it will never need to "escape".
However, Aaron Kwok's movie "difficult to release" is already a reality.
's other "When the Wind Rises" has already premiered, and news of its release has been reported several times, but it is still unknown when it will be released.
" anti-drug 3" has no signs of starting publicity so far. "The Insider" has released several tidbits in a row, but it should be too early to release, and there are no other movies.
Compared with the same period of last year, Andy Lau has successively released "Anti-drug 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", " Zanthoxylum Flavor ", " Hot Blood Choir ", " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Crowd Crowd" after 2018 Raging" five films, one of which has a cameo.
Gu Tianle has " martial arts monster ", " home and everything is shocked ", " anti-corruption storm 4", " Chasing the Dragon 2", "Anti-drug 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", "Apostle Walker 2: Espionage Action, Crime Scene , Dynasty Warriors, Chasing the Tiger and Catching the Dragon, Anita Mui , Anti-Corruption Storm 5, The Heaven Slayer and Tomorrow's War Thirteen films were released.
or just pick a slightly famous Hong Kong star, the number of movies released will be more than Aaron Kwok.
but at the same time.
wasted a lot of time in addition to doing a world tour "on a whim".
Aaron Kwok can be said to be like a wave of film appointments.
currently has seven movies in stock, all of which are absolutely big male protagonists. However, none of
has been released as scheduled so far.
is just plain weird.
Why is Aaron Kwok's film "difficult to release"?
Honestly, there is no answer.
