After the Dragon Boat Festival slump, the market finally ushered in the long-awaited summer season. At the beginning of the summer season, there was a blockbuster " silently kills " that seemed to be popular. This film gathered together It has starred Wu Zhenyu, Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Junning, Cai Ming, Xu Jiao, Huang Minghao and many other movie stars. The plot is quite bold, and the visual impact brought by the scale has made this film a constant discussion.
So far, this film has maintained the number one daily box office. After only 30 million box office on the first day of release, the film box office has been on the rise. On Saturday and Sunday, it was two single days. The box office has exceeded 100 million yuan, and there is a feeling that it is getting stronger and stronger. Recently, the box office has exceeded 400 million. The feedback from the audience after watching the movie has become the main reason for the film's box office increase. The tense and refreshing scenes have become the audience's favorite like " eliminates three evils in a week " Reasons to enter the theater "password".
The film mainly tells the story of a series of violent cases caused by bullying in a girls' middle school. At the beginning of the film, the protagonist Xiaotong was stuck to the wall with glue by a group of girls. Not only was she covered with glue, but her hair was also covered with mucus. , the whole person was stuck to the wall like a cross. From the very beginning, the audience was warned that the scale and tone of this film would be very large, and as the bullying girls died one after another, a revenge drama also kicked off.
It can be said that this film is full of villains. In the end, everyone has their own problems. The reason why this film can be released is not only due to the influence of the recent "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", This film itself also has three advantages, but these three advantages are covered up by a problem, which essentially prevents this film from being criticized. The score of 6.8 also shows that this film is not a good film.
First of all, the first advantage of this film is that the scale is relatively large. The setting of each character makes it almost impossible to tell which one is good and which one is evil. Although the sense of satisfaction brought by the limitation of scale is not as good as that of "Zhou Chu Chu San" "Harmful", but it also hit netizens like a shot of stimulant, and also hit the mediocre movie market.
The second point is that the acting skills of the actors are all online. Whether it is the two young actors Wang Shengdi and Xu Jiao, or the leading actors such as Wang Chuanjun and Zhang Junning, they all expressed very well in this kind of film that requires emotional tension, but Wu Zhenyu The film still has a very obvious personal performance style, with almost no changes. On the contrary, it makes people feel that he is the one who stands out the most. The appearance of Cai Ming can be regarded as a highlight, bringing a lot of laughter to the originally dull film. .
The third point is that the film’s service is also online. Whether it is Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Junning or Huang Minghao, it feels like a story about a city in Southeast Asia, and overall all the characters and street layout are very unified and will not appear Someone or something is obviously incompatible with the environment, and as a traffic idol, Huang Minghao's changes made me not recognize it at once. This kind of service is easier to immerse people in.
However, these three external advantages cannot cover up the problems of the core plot of the movie. If you put aside some of the cool points on the scale and look at this movie, the plot of this movie is quite immature and even a bit routine. At the beginning, it was intended to mislead the audience into identifying Zhang Junning as the "killer", and then it targeted Wang Chuanjun, and finally revealed that Xiaotong was the mastermind behind the scenes. However, people who often watch movies can guess Xiaotong's talent almost in the middle of the movie. He is the one who is in control in the end.
Judging from the plot of this film, Junning Chang appears too early and cannot support the role setting that confuses others. Wang Chuanjun is exposed too soon and the work loses its level. In order to add more highlights later, reversing it again is almost a routine. A must for transformation. Moreover, with Zhang Zifeng's classic "Tang Detective" at the forefront, the subsequent tedious decryption of Xiaotong's arrangements is like a teaching clip that is worried that the audience will not understand, leaving the film without much room for aftertaste.
Not only that, in order to give the audience an image of all villains, Wu Zhenyu’s beating of children and Zhang Junning’s beating of children inserted later in the plot seemed a bit abrupt and irrelevant, as if they were specially set up for you to prove that you have a problem. question. In order to allow a reasonable reversal of the plot, the film crew bluntly added the role of Huang Minghao as a "tool man". Almost all the evidence comes from himself.
And because of the heavy reliance on this "tool man", even the evidence from five years ago was directly derived from this tool man, which seems to be unable to withstand scrutiny, and the overall plot is slightly messy. Not only are there interspersed recall fragments, but also There are fantasy scenes that travel back and forth at different times, and many scenes in the plot cannot stand up to scrutiny. It can be said that it is a work just for the sake of fun, and it cannot be called a masterpiece.
