was released for 2 days, with 130,000 people on Douban platform, and a high score of 8.4!
I dare to say that "" is definitely the largest and highest quality action movie in the Chinese film industry in recent years.
Let’s not talk nonsense, let’s go directly to the feedback from the live audience -
“Compared to this, the Spring Festival stalls are like elementary school students’ homework”, “The massacre scene is really a godsend”, “It’s awesome that this kind of scale can be put into theaters” .
“I haven’t felt that watching a movie in a theater is such a happy thing for a long time.”
“The scene of the year’s apotheosis, a perfect hit, my breasts were pierced, and I felt so good.”
“Booked as the top 3 Chinese film of the year. ", "Ethan Juan shot a new year with one shot."
Even the words can't conceal the excitement of netizens. The entire comment area is filled with words such as "cool", "cow", "happy", etc.
But after watching the movie, I really hated the iron.
I’m not saying, can the promotion of Hong Kong and Taiwan films learn from mainland films?
Regardless of the subject matter, quality, or strong lineup, these mainland movies can be praised to the sky during the promotion period.
I don’t care how you scold me, making money at the box office is the most important thing.
As for Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, not to mention that the lineup itself is not eye-catching, it seems that they don’t care whether people like it or not.
is obviously a real and high-energy movie, but the trailer was abruptly cut into a messy, unattractive movie that feels like a déjà vu.
Therefore, despite the rave reviews of "Zhou Chu's Three Evils", the box office of was only 60 million, and the total box office was even predicted to be only more than 300 million.
only said that there are too few people who have eaten this tough dish.
How can a seemingly mediocre movie gain such a huge reputation?
Don't worry, the show is about to begin -
1. Story: Deep and satirical
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" I believe that when you hear the title of the play, a question has emerged in your mind -
Who is Zhou Chu ? What are the three evils of
?
The three evils in this allusion are "Zhou Chu", "tiger" and "dragon". The villagers want Zhou Chu to deal with the other two evils. At the same time, he is very likely to die in the fight.
The choice of allusions implies a profound meaning.
In the original story, Zhou Chu spent three days and three nights killing the dragon, and then he came back alive and reformed.
As for what the three evils in the film are, different viewers will have different opinions, but there is no doubt that the "Zhou Chu" is the male protagonist Chen Guilin.
Of course, in the early stage, I thought it was Chen Guilin. In order not to spoil the story, I won’t go into too much detail.
Chen Guilin has two items on his body, a piggy-style watch and his only suit.
are the belongings of the two most important people in Chen Guilin's life. The former belongs to his grandmother, and the latter is left by the gang boss.
These two items, while symbolizing the two personalities of the male protagonist, also involve the most direct reason why he wants to kill the other "two evils".
This movie has many twists and turns, whether it is the treatment of characters or plot, it is complex and deep.
is high-energy throughout, poking at the audience's pain points, and everyone can't help but cheer amidst the constant surprising twists and turns.
Especially the last ending, it is full of irony and makes people feel complicated.
2. Scale: Rape, sexual abuse, and murder are not shy.
I tried to find some shocking scenes in the trailer that were captured with the naked eye during the movie, but I really couldn't find anything. The scale of
's video shocked me beyond words.
was tied up and raped, and two men even fought while the female character was naked and tied up. The fragrant and exciting scenes are directly displayed on the big screen. It is really surprising that this can be released in mainland China.
Of course, action movies are naturally indispensable for fierce action scenes. The appearance of almost all the characters in
is to prepare for the big scene. I hold a knife in my hand and stab people's eyes directly. There is no editing and I can feel the blood on my face through the screen.
More than two hours, I can sum it up in two words -
"kill" and "cheat".
The three forces of gangs, drug trafficking and brainwashing organizations are entangled in each other, and they do it without saying a word.
Borrowing characters and stand-ins are all jokes, and it makes the audience feel so happy when they match the plot and characters.
3. Ethan Ethan
Don’t tell me, most of the viewers who did not choose this movie are not only not interested in the trailer, but also have no feelings for Ethan Ethan.
The male protagonist of an idol drama with childhood memories, a dull guy who has been basically missing from the past few years, what kind of action movie can he make?
To be honest, the last time I was so shocked was William Chan in "Breaking Point".
In fact, compared to William Chan, Ethan Juan is definitely better.
plays a gangster evil force. This guy instantly looks 20 years younger. He is reckless as a fledgling, fearless and brave, and even a little handsome.
said that idol dramas are "very harmful to people".
Actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan are indeed more suitable for emotional action movies.
In "The Three Evils", Ethan Ruan's greasiness and pretentiousness in his previous idol dramas are completely gone. His whole temperament is very consistent with the style of the movie.
At the same time, Ethan Ruan can get the unique baggage of being a director. The clip of
being "purified" in the brainwashing organization made the audience laugh loudly.
Ethan Ruan was unshaven but not slovenly. He howled loudly when his hair was cut.
was originally meant to be a laugh, but it makes people feel doubly sad when they cry.
doesn't care about image, the crying scene is extremely funny. Before walking into the cinema, I never imagined that Ethan Ethan could have such acting skills.
In terms of acting the vicissitudes of life, in my opinion Ethan Ethan still has some room for improvement.
Or perhaps, he is quite delicate and well-maintained, and it doesn’t look like he is 41 years old at all, and the beard he put on and sharpened also lacked some heat.
However, fortunately, this brother's emotions are in place and will not cause any drama.
No wonder, Ethan Ruan was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for "The Three Evils", but just missed the Best Actor Award.
It’s not that Taiwan Entertainment has no one, it’s that we eat too many rotten vegetables.
Conclusion
In the field of action films, mainland films have never been strong, but it has to be said that directors from Taiwan seem to have opened up a new world.
As some netizens said, "Zhou Chu Destroy Three Evils" can really compete with the Spring Festival movies, and it may not lose even if it is released in the same time. However, in the game of capital, it is simply nonsense to squeeze it into the Spring Festival movie. talk.
Again, you Hong Kong and Taiwan movies should also try to show off their skills.
's promotion is not strong, at least the trailer should be cut more beautifully, otherwise the box office will be really low for the high level of quality.
The prodigal son returns and leaves his name in death.
"Zhou Chu" is actually not this "Zhou Chu", but who said there can only be one "Zhou Chu"?
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" makes a low-key debut, and Chinese-language movies will finally have a new ceiling!
