Leading all the participating films with 8 important nominations. Moreover, it is also nominated for the best feature film award, the best actor award, the best screenwriter, the best new director, and the best editing.
's Jiang Wen movie "The Evil Doesn't Suppress Righteousness", which was released in the same summer of 2018, but had zero eggs. No nomination was received, and there was no comforting technical nomination.
This is also this year, all domestic and foreign awards, including the Taiwan Golden Horse Award, Asian Film Awards, Directors Guild Award, etc., "The God of Medicine" has once again absolutely suppressed "The Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness".
Taiwan Golden Horse Awards: "The God of Medicine" allowed Xu Zheng to win the best actor, director Wen Muye won the best original screenplay, best new director award, nominated for best film and best actor.

was released at the box office at the same time, and the comparison was tragic:
's "Evil does not suppress the right" on the first day of screenings, the first day of the box office was lost to the "Medicine God", which had been released for a week,
had not won a single-day box office championship for the last time. The final box office was 580 million, which was less than one-sixth of "I am not a medicine god" (3.1 billion box office).
To sum up, it can be said that Jiang Wen's "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness", regardless of box office, word of mouth, awards, industry repercussions, have been completely suppressed by Xu Zheng's "I am not the God of Medicine". The 55-year-old Jiang Wen suffered a complete defeat in a duel with his junior Xu Zheng who was 9 years younger.
-This result, before the two films were released, was definitely beyond the expectation of almost all professional film critics.
The movie "The Evil Doesn't Suppress the Righteousness" is Jiang Wen's new work for four years, and it is also the end of what he called the "Northern Trilogy" ("Let the Bullets Fly", "One Step Away" and "Evilness Doesn't Suppress the Righteousness") Articles. When
was announced, Jiang Wen spared no effort. Almost every event he attended before the release, from the Shanghai Film Festival to the Weibo Film Festival, became the home of his own film, even to the "Creation "101" is a variety show popular among young star fans to promote it.
"The Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness" still has its advantages. It inherits the consistent style of Jiang Wen's works. Each line is very meaningful and contains metaphors, allowing various audiences from different positions and viewpoints to make multiple interpretations.
Some of the wonderful scenes, and some of the long shots may be commendable. After all, he is a master director with a glorious resume in the three major European film festivals. His skills still exist, and the lens language has also maintained Jiang Wen's consistent Style and beauty.
After the film was released, Jiang Wen's loyal fans cheered, spontaneously promoted it, and recommended it to friends and family. Many film critics who have always been friendly to Jiang Wen have tried their best to popularize various ingenuity and tribute to the classic works of film history masters to the broad audience, and interpret each line that contains profound meaning and contains metaphors.
And the film’s protagonist Peng Yuyan, who has the muscles of a Greek sculpture (Jiang Wenyu), is in love with the sexy and beautiful heroine, the sister and brother of the "old goddess" Xu Qing, which can also attract the attention of many viewers.
However, the majority of the audience did not buy it. The optimistic expectation of 1 billion box office has become a dream bubble.After the failure of "One Step Away" in 2014, Jiang Wen suffered another miserable defeat. In fact, the reason could not be simpler: both the plot and the starring are flawed!
The actor "Li Tianran" in "The Evil Doesn't Suppress Righteousness" acted completely ignorant of the so-called, stealing knives, stealing seals, stamping, and thinking about it all at once. In the second half of the process, he talked about love with a seamstress inexplicably. It is totally inconsistent with the image of an elite youth who has been painstakingly cultivated by an American organization and has been trained for many years.
Jiang Wen himself played "Blue Green Peak". At first, he seemed to be a foresighted man behind the scenes. However, in the second half, he also collapsed inexplicably and became a "big chess party" with poor skills.
, apart from Liao Fan’s anti-number one "Zhu Qianlong", completed the role with a very high degree of completion. The other main characters in the film are severely facialized and violated, and they are "twisted" with the common sense of human nature. The hypothesis becomes very false, completely illogical, and difficult to move people's hearts. The whole movie of
also appears very fragmented and fragmented. The fluency of the main storyline does have serious flaws, and various unexpected and illogical plot designs have also caused the audience to fall into the clouds in the process of watching the movie.
Moreover, the protagonist Peng Yuyan’s Taiwanese accent is really serious for watching movies, and his expression is always switched back and forth between hollow facial paralysis and exaggeration and viciousness. Almost all the actors in the same film are suppressed by the opponents of the movie. It is definitely Jiang Wen. There is no major actor with the worst character completion in the history of the film, and his performance is far inferior to Jaycee Chan in "The Sun Also Rises".
in the film from time to time to make various close-ups of Peng Yuyan's bodybuilding muscles, and even let him go naked and parkour, using his and Xu Qing's various naked shots as marketing and publicity methods, also falling into the vogue, only let the movie taste taste The growing number of fans disagrees, and it is absolutely impossible to pay for it.
The choice of the leading actor who has an absolute advantage in one role, but whose acting skills can hardly support the whole show, failed, and the whole movie was destroyed by half. Of course, such a completely unqualified starring role was chosen by Jiang Wen himself. Therefore, the greatest responsibility is ultimately borne by Jiang Wen himself.
At the end of the film, the actor "Li Tianran" actually completed the revenge plan in an anti-Japanese drama. A superhuman "Captain of the Republic of China" who can dodge bullets at the shortest distance and kill a devil with one stroke is nearly unscathed. He originally had countless face-to-face opportunities to get rid of the two enemies of "Jeon Ichiro" and "Zhu Qianlong". What is it necessary to wait for the so-called "opportunity" for a long time? It wasn't until the end of the article that the small universe burst out suddenly, and the force value slammed the audience, turning the intrigue between "Lan Qingfeng", "Nenichiro" and "Zhu Qianlong" into a joke.
is really unimaginable. A director who has filmed a top-level anti-Japanese themed work in Chinese film history like "The Devil Is Coming" will actually turn his new work into a shredded devil-like anti-Japanese god after more than ten years. Film, this is a great step backwards, it is to scribble one's own work for the sake of commercial box office, and even to put it politely, it is a degeneration from the palace of film art.
In 2010, the huge victory of "Let the Bullets Fly", the box office word-of-mouth double-boom, made a sensation in the Chinese film industry, so that Jiang Wen's film status and reputation in the industry took off thousands of miles, but at the same time it inevitably made him float and become more and more. Confident now.
He really thought that from now on, no matter what he wanted to shoot, the audience could follow his wishes and let him "stand and make money" so comfortably, but there is no such beautiful thing in this world? With high expectations, fans of
will use "Let the Bullets Fly" as the standard to measure Jiang Wen's next works, hoping that he will be able to make progress to the next level. How could it not be disappointed?
's "One Step Away" in 2014, the word-of-mouth and box office collapsed horribly, and Jiang Wen had to dormant for several years before starting the creation of his new work "The Evil Doesn't Suppress Righteousness". From the perspective of director Jiang Wen,
probably already feels that he is "feeding pigs with dumplings" in a "wrong way", suppressing his personality and willfulness as much as possible, and trying his best to please the audience for the box office.
However, in recent years, the box office of the Chinese film market has exploded, and the audience structure has undergone great changes. The second, third, and fourth-tier "small town youth" have been the mainstay of the world's second largest film market. Audiences will no longer be so ignorant and easy to deceive, they will be easily announced by film critics, andThe reputation of the great director is fooled.
At this time, I have already experienced "Wolf Warriors 2" (at the box office of 5.6 billion, Douban 7.2 points, Maoyan 9.7 points), "Operation Red Sea" (box office 3.6 billion, Douban 8.5 points, Maoyan 9.4 points) such a feast, After enjoying the light, shadow and audio-visual experience of Hollywood's first-class industrial film level, why must we pay for the redemptive journey of a man with brainless action and timid heart,
?
Why do we have to pay for a parkour and meat-selling trip with a line with a serious tone and a pompous expression?
Why do we have to pay for a protagonist's small universe that bursts out, beats the audience at the value of force, dodges bullets in the shortest distance, and kills a devil in a flash?
What's more, "The Evil Doesn't Pressure Righteousness" faced the same period, but it was "I am not the god of medicine" (douban 9.0 points, Maoyan 9.6 points) such a realistic theme, which really impresses all audiences of all ages and has a box office reputation. Big explosion opponent.
A small number of literary and artistic youths and film critics, a few acid articles can determine the historical status and box office trend of a movie, and it has already been [forever gone]!
No matter how those literary and artistic youths and "film critics" who have always been friendly to Jiang Wen or even admire the film top respect, it is difficult to change "The Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness" as an artistic and commercial failure, and serious damage to director Jiang Wen's reputation The fact that works.
has criticized the "Evil Does Not Suppress the Right" as the sharpest film critics criticized: "You can stand and earn money, but you are not qualified to call the audience to kneel. You can think you overestimate the Chinese audience, but you First of all, you should not overestimate yourself.”
Therefore, a year later, the Golden Rooster Award, the highest professional award in Chinese film, will be the final conclusion: Jiang Lang is exhausted and evil is not overwhelming. It is inevitable.
