2024’s Spring Festival season has entered its final stage, the market has begun to shrink, and box office trends have generally begun to tighten. At this time, the stamina of the film is particularly critical.
As the box office trend of top movies becomes increasingly weak, Zhang Yimou's " Article 20 " has reversed the decline for several consecutive days and achieved a box office of 1 billion.
"Article 20" Despite a bad start, it became more and more courageous after the third day of the Lunar New Year. The daily box office fell for three consecutive days, and the total box office forecast rose for three consecutive days, from 1.861 billion to 2.372 billion, a total increase of 500 million.
Especially on Valentine's Day, the box office performance of "Article 20" exceeded most people's expectations. Excluding the factors of Valentine's Day's market growth, it has been declining.
Hot and Spicy and Flying 2 increasingly seem to be running out of stamina. Although they are far ahead in film schedules, seating arrangements, and prime screenings, the day's box office and pre-sale box office do not match this lead.
On the other hand, "Article 20", which survived in the cracks, has half the film schedule, and many of them are in small halls + unpopular times, but it has the highest attendance rate and the best box office share.
So netizens said that with the quality and reputation of "Article 20", the box office itself should be far more than that!
Yes, if more films are arranged, Zhang Yimou will probably win the Spring Festival box office championship again!
The champion of this year's Spring Festival is undoubtedly Hua Luo Jia Ling 's " Hot and Spicy ". With its high reputation and high ranking of films, it firmly ranks first and has the potential of last year's " Azolla ".
Zhang Yimou’s Spring Festival box-office champion "Man Jiang Hong" is firmly in the first place due to its high reputation and high ranking of films.
Looking at this year again, in terms of word-of-mouth and stamina, "Article 20" is not inferior to "Man Jiang Hong", but it suffers from too few films in the schedule and its momentum is too slow. If it could have such a high film schedule as "Hot" and "Flying Life 2", it would have won the Japanese crown long ago.
Because compared to the traditional comedies you will see during this Spring Festival, Zhang Yimou chose a topic that is both novel and socially significant, using a comedic approach to talk about criminal law, allowing citizen comedies to exude a unique and moving power. There is truth, reality, and foundation in humor.
Coupled with the down-to-earth style of "Article 20", most of Guoshi's previous film styles were grand and feminine, but this film is a comedy.
has many comedy elements at the beginning. In addition to the main line of justice, there is also the helplessness of ordinary people who are unable to fight back after being bullied. The helplessness of being unable to seek justice after fighting back is very thorough in exploring human nature. Deaf-mute women themselves cannot communicate smoothly with others. , that feeling of depression will be even stronger.
When you buy the ticket, you know that this is a comedy movie, but in the end when you walk out of the theater, you will not think that it is just a comedy. The core of comedy is tragedy. Maybe this is the difference between high-quality movies and ordinary comedies.
The three stories in the film are smoothly connected, each character is very distinct, and the character acting skills are excellent.
Li Maojuan (Ma Li) acted both funny and tearful. Han Ming ( Lei Jiayin ) made people hate her at first, but later on she was very righteous. Hao Xiuping (Zhao Liying) acted so well that she was directly replaced by Lu. Lingling (Gao Ye) has a very sense of justice and insists on subjectivity...
There are many golden sentences in this movie, but the most impressive sentence is "If the pursuit of justice requires a price, then who will bear the price?" In Many times in life, this is a question worth thinking about.
Therefore, fans praise this film for defending justice in people's hearts to a certain extent. This is a film to popularize the law. What kind of law is it popularizing? The title of the movie tells us, Article 20 of the Criminal Law - Self-defense.
However, for a considerable period of time, this clause was a "sleeping clause". At the same time, influenced by traditional judicial concepts, judicial officers did not dare to apply it.
This film is not only an awakening to the revised clause of self-defense, but also a sincere appeal to those who are at a loss what to do.
It allows people to regain their almost blurred sense of right and wrong and sense of justice, and dare to say "no" to lawlessness.At the same time, it also makes people clearly realize that the law is not cold logic, but that the law is fair and lies in the hearts of the people.
Laws cannot give in to illegality.
laws are to provide fairness and justice to the people.
laws must be continuously improved to move closer to fairness, justice and justice.
So "Article 20" is not a sad movie! The director uses the humor of comedy to dissolve some of the seriousness of "law popularization", and also speaks for "us" from the perspective of a small person at the bottom!
It is difficult to make movies with realistic themes. If you are not careful, you will encounter many taboos. Movies with realistic themes can easily resonate with the audience because they directly touch the hearts of the audience.
expresses a very heavy social topic in comedy language. Zhang Yimou's skill is still good.
Although the ending is happy, we all know that the road is long and the actual implementation of "Article 20" has a long way to go. It is not a simple legal issue.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley, the audience has the ability to discern, and everything will be fine as word of mouth ferments.
