There is no doubt that Search and Rescue will face serious losses. The film is directed by Luo Zhiliang and starring Donnie Yen , Han Xue , Jia Bing and other actors. The film tells the story of a family of four who work in Shenzhen and travel by car to Changbai Mountain in the northeast. Donnie Yen plays A De, who is a bad-tempered father, and Han Xue plays his mother. A family of four quarreled due to the weather being unable to visit the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. As a result, their 8-year-old son was accidentally lost. The Ade couple sought assistance from the relevant local authorities, and the search and rescue operation immediately began. However, due to various reasons such as dark night and bad weather, the search and rescue was difficult, and even encountered an avalanche, which resulted in injuries and sacrifices of the participants in the search and rescue.
The box office is more than 5 million. According to Donnie Yen's worth, it is likely that it is not enough to pay him, not to mention the production fee and publicity fee. The investor must have suffered a heavy loss, and this also means that Donnie Yen's transformation failed. A certified account on the
social platform posted that "Search and Rescue" cost 200 million yuan. If there is such a high cost, it will be difficult for the movie to exceed 10 million at the box office, and the final loss may exceed 190 million. For film companies, this is a huge loss. The number is not small, but in terms of genre and word of mouth, it is not surprising that the box office of "Search and Rescue" is not good.
director Luo Zhiliang can be regarded as a senior filmmaker in Hong Kong. He is both a screenwriter and a director. He has participated in the shooting of works such as " Gun King ", " Chariot of Fire ", "New Love" and "East and West Achievement". Since the cross-strait co-production, Luo Zhiliang has rarely produced good works. In 2012, "Shadow Lover" scored 4.1 on Douban, " disappeared bullet " and " disappeared murderer " although Liu Qingyun, Nicholas Tse , Lin Jiadong and so on are good The actor's blessing, word of mouth and box office performance are not very satisfactory, and then turn forward, he also directed a movie " deserted village apartment " starring Shawn Yue, Zhang Yuqi and other actors in 2010, with a score of only 3.9. A director like
has caused the overall story and rhythm of "Search and Rescue" to be more hip.
"Search and Rescue" has no big scenes and no action scenes. Donnie Yen's irritable father is pressed and rubbed on the ground by several hooligans. I think that when he played Ip Man in the ring, he played ten in the ring! Donnie Yen would not have accepted such a weak character and such an ordinary script before it was released.
But the reality that has to be faced is that Donnie Yen will be 60 years old next year, how many years can he play? Can you still move? The transformation is imperative, and we might as well start with "Search and Rescue", but the first attempt was poured with cold water.
However, the box office hit of "Search and Rescue" cannot be entirely blamed on Donnie Yen not playing. Although he is not very good at literary and drama, he has almost lost his appeal to the audience if he does not act in action scenes, but the fundamental problem is that the script of the movie is too weak and the character creation is too weak. downgrade. The story of
"Search and Rescue" is a race against time to search for lost children. In the icy northeast, if you fight for one more second, the children will have a chance to survive. But the problem is that the rhythm of the movie is very slow, and there is no sense of urgency to search and rescue the children.
There are also big problems in the selection of actors and the creation of roles. A comedian like Jia Bing who plays the policeman in charge of search and rescue makes the audience feel very inconsistent. Donnie Yen's father is very wise. What serious illness would throw his son in an unfamiliar place? In a log cabin? How low of an emotional intelligence does it take to yell at someone helping with the search and rescue? The setting of the bear child is also quite disgusting. After pushing his parents, blocking cars in the snow, etc., which caused him to get lost and fall into crisis, the audience will not be worried and nervous. The last thing
wants to say is that Donnie Yen can transform, but he has to choose the script carefully! what do y'all think?
