, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion.
4 days after its official release at 3:39, the box office exceeded 1 billion. 2 days after the official release of
at 3:4, the box office exceeded 500 million.
"This Killer Is Not Too Calm" (hereinafter referred to as "The Killer"), although the golden partners Shen Teng and Ma Li are used, but the dragon actor Wei Xiang is used as the starring partner Ma Li, but the performance of "The Killer" It is still eye-catching, and the box office is booming, closely following the hit film "The Water Gate Bridge of Changjin Lake", far exceeding Zhang Yimou 's "Sniper".
From "Zhiyu Zhai", the reason why "The Killer" was able to break out of the siege, on the one hand, the people who eat melons want to smirk easily and happily. Life is not easy, especially life in love, it is exhausting both physically and mentally. It's finally New Year's Eve, I just want to let go of the year's exhaustion, relax, watch a comedy, laugh, and crave for fun for a while, what does it matter if it makes sense or not. There are many people who eat melons with such thoughts.
On the other hand, although there are many Chinese New Year movies, the only comedy is "The Killer", so the competition is relatively small.
Of course, external factors are important, but the brilliance of "The Killer" itself is the more important reason. These four ingenious designs in "The Killer" are the key to the success of the film, and "Nobody Has Seen Carl" only ranks third.
clever design No.4: Harvey is fierce on the surface, kind in heart
Carl wants to kill him, but he wants to eliminate the danger by making friends with Carl. Harvey likes Milan wholeheartedly, but he refuses to force Milan to marry him. Comparing the behavior of Jimmy, the second black child, to Milan after he became the eldest brother, we know that Harvey is really kind.
is also because of his kindness. When it was revealed that Jimmy hired Carl to kill Harvey, his brothers all defended Harvey and opposed Jimmy.
It seems that kindness is the foundation of being a person, no matter what industry.
clever design No.3: No one has seen Carl
No one has seen the real face of killer Carl, only know that he is a famous killer in Jianghu, only know that his killer mission has never failed.
That is, since no one has seen Carl, everyone can be Carl, so the story begins with this clever design.
Carl appears three times in the film, driving the story forward powerfully. The first time
is at the beginning of the film, he went to kill the black boss Harvey, but stood on Harvey's blasting point, Harvey pressed the blast button, and Carl pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed Harvey's ear, and Harvey suffered minor injuries. Carl on the blasting point was seriously injured, the mission failed, blind and aphasia. The second time
was that the black boss Harvey was seriously injured by Jimmy's plot and was admitted to the ward where Carl also lived.
The third time Wei Chenggong reported on Jimmy, the blind Carl appeared with Harvey in a wheelchair. At this time, the two became friends. They ended Jimmy's conspiracy. Success and Milan et al., it is clear.
Clever Design No.2: Wei Chenggong, an actor who wants to play the leading role. They are all carefully grasped, and even the supporting roles are carefully designed and performed. In his heart, it is not important how others think the role is played, but how he understands the character and how to interpret it.
It is precisely because Wei Chenggong is an unknown actor, because Wei Chenggong has the ability to control the role, and because Wei Chenggong wants to seize every opportunity, even if it is a tiny one, that's why Milan and Miller have The opportunity to hide the truth allows Wei Chenggong to play the killer Carl.
If a famous actor were to play Carl, of course people would have to read the script, wouldn't they believe it without a camera? Besides, they can't afford it. If
were to play Carl with an unknown actor, first of all, the enthusiasm would not be enough, and secondly, the tension would not be enough, and if he couldn't play the killer's momentum, it would fall short.
only Wei Chenggong is the most suitable. He has both strength and lack of fame. He can play Carl well, but he can't play big names. Moreover, he will do whatever the director asks, and he doesn't dare to make a lot of demands.
Some people may ask, didn't Wei Chenggong doubt it? He is lustful. There is no script, no camera, no replay, and there are doubts everywhere. It's just that he needs this opportunity too much, even if it's a scam, he doesn't want to wake up, and he's willing to enjoy the feel of being the protagonist. The core of
's comedy is really tragedy , the helplessness of the little people, the hardships of the little people, and the smile of the little people with tears, all in it.
cleverly designed No.1, actor Wei Xiang and "actor Wei Chenggong" have a similar experience
saw the tidbits, Wei Xiang cried when he finished, lamenting that this is his first male lead in so many years. At that moment, I suddenly understood why the director wanted to choose Wei Xiang to play Wei Success.
First of all, Wei Xiang has a similar experience with the character. He has strength and acting skills, but lacks opportunities, so Wei Xiang can empathize with the character ; secondly, Wei Xiang and the character have similar experiences, which can also arouse a strong consensus among the people who eat melons. Affection. At that moment, "Zhi Yu Zhai" was so moved that he could not tell Wei Xiang and Wei Chenggong apart, who was the character and who was the actor.
Wei Xiang has both the epitome of Wei Chenggong's arduous pursuit of dreams, and the epitome of ordinary people who eat melons.
This detail, which is incomprehensible, is the biggest flaw in the whole film.
is just like, no gold is bare, no one is perfect. "Hitman" has something to praise, but it also inevitably fails.
Harvey gets word that killer Carl is going to kill him. Harvey didn't even check who hired Carl and who was behind it; instead, he wanted to find Carl and make friends with him.
Doesn't Harvey know that finding the mastermind behind the scenes can truly remove the source of the danger? Even if Carl is found and becomes friends with him, Carl will not kill Harvey, but the mastermind behind the scenes will hire other people to kill him.
This detail, "Zhiyu Zhai" did not understand how, it really can not stand scrutiny, it can be said to be the biggest failure of the whole film. All
dramas, whether they are comedies or tragedies, need logic, and the details must stand up to scrutiny before they can become real classics.
However, this little bug does not hinder our love for "The Killer", making "The Killer" more down-to-earth and more humanistic. After all, perfection is the ideal in the world, and imperfection is the real in the world.
