"Search and Rescue" invested 200 million: less than 20 million at the box office? Donnie Yen 's transformation failed and he has to fight again
Directed by Hong Kong director " Luo Zhiliang ", Donnie Yen supervised and starred in the movie "Search and Rescue", is a story about the search and rescue police and the snow-covered search and rescue team who never give up and create life Miracle story. The film was even included in the copyright protection early warning list of the eighth batch of key works in 2022 issued by National Copyright Administration . For this reason, the creators also made a big investment, with an investment of up to 200 million. I never thought that the box office result of 19.989 million was less than 20 million, and it was directly buried in the cold ice and snow, which was shocking.
The reason for the failure of the box office
1: The sluggish National Day file
Although the film was released on the National Day file, for the past, this is an excellent time, not only everyone has a holiday. It is also the peak period for everyone to go out for travel and entertainment. However, due to the epidemic, many parts of the country are still under strict epidemic prevention, and people's own awareness of protection has been strengthened. In itself, it is relatively sluggish. In fact, it is not only "Search and Rescue", but also many movies, so it is understandable that some movies are delayed.
2: The audience's aesthetic fatigue
has to say that the types of movies that can be released today are still relatively single, and the National Day files are even more so. Maybe the themes are different, but in the end, the main theme movies occupy the majority, based on Under such circumstances, after the various homogenized works bombarded the audience one after another, it actually caused the audience to be tired of watching movies. In fact, for the National Day file, it is understandable that the main theme works get together. , but in combination with the content of the previous article, originally because of the epidemic, many people were unable to see highly entertaining works in movies. Even if there was a movie they wanted to watch, they would miss it because the timing was wrong. Coupled with the reduction in the introduction of overseas films, the audience actually wants to relax and have fun during the holidays.
And more importantly, for the audience themselves, due to a series of reasons such as the epidemic, many people's life pressure has also increased. At the same time, with the development of technology and the improvement of living standards, audiences will naturally choose more suitable entertainment. The way to release the pressure, so watching the movie itself is actually not the first choice of the audience. Under such circumstances, the homogeneous works are clustered together, which reduces the audience's choice of movie themes. In this case, the box office slump of the entire National Day file makes sense.
3: The film's flaws
In fact, even though the overall movie theater this year is relatively sluggish, there are still movies that break through. For example, " alone on the moon " is a good example. Taking into account entertainment, comedy, and the positive energy needed, there are also more ingenious arrangements, as well as the star effect brought by happy twist and Shen Teng , so it has a good performance. As for "Search and Rescue" , obviously it has nothing to do with comedy, but it's nothing. As a serious work, it would be good if it can tell the story well, but the problem is that the script of the movie has too many bugs and unpleasant links. .
and even Donnie Yen's father role is full of disconnection, so that many viewers are full of disgust for this main character after watching it, which in turn affects the reputation of the movie. There is no doubt that it is the real flaw. What's more, in the National Day file where the box office was sluggish, the reputation of the movie was not very good. Even in Maoyan, which can get high scores in many movies, "Search and Rescue" only scored 7.9 points. Let's take a look at " Homecoming" "'s 9.6, you can easily find the gap, so the quality of the movie is still very important. It can only be said that the movie "Search and Rescue" passed the big scene, but it was very rough in details.
In fact, the audience is not tired of the main theme. We also really need works of this theme, but the quality of the film is more important than the theme. The audience's requirements for movies are getting higher and higher, especially the theme movies. It is not easy to shoot well, because it is necessary to balance entertainment and highlight the theme of the film. This is not without good works, and those excellent works can also ignite the passion of the audience, so grasping the quality of the film is the key, in addition to this, there is another important reason, that is, the taste of mountains and seas is good. , but it also needs to be adjusted, otherwise it will be boring to eat every day.
Donnie Yen's transformation failed
This movie is also a very important work for Donnie Yen, because it is obviously a good attempt for him. As a kung fu star, this time he did not fight, but challenged his own literary drama, to be honest , Donnie Yen's literary drama is still good, and it is a common practice for kung fu star's acting skills to be ignored by the audience, but for a veteran actor like Donnie Yen who has rich acting experience, it is actually a matter of hand to challenge literary drama, just because of the film's plot. The problem, coupled with the wrong timing, caused the downturn at the box office.
is still good for his performance in the play, but it is a pity that kung fu stars challenge literary dramas, and the works often do poorly at the box office, which seems to be a common problem for kung fu actors. Even if it is a work like "Dragon's Heart", it has to compromise with the market, and finally joined the fight, so as far as Donnie Yen is concerned, it is unlikely that he wants to make a complete transformation in a short time. Movies will still focus on fighting, so we can only say that we should watch and cherish them. Because of our actions, kung fu movies, especially for actors with real materials like Donnie Yen, are really one less one to watch.
