In recent years, the Chinese film market has developed rapidly, especially in the field of crime action films, where there are constant masterpieces.
When it comes to action movies, we have to mention "Desperate Saburo" Jackie Chan. His professionalism is well known in the industry.
And Jackie Chan also lives up to expectations and is famous all over the world. Almost every new film he makes will leave a famous "difficult" action scene in the history of global cinema.
was even blacklisted by the insurance company because of his breakthrough performance in "".
And there are countless classic works shot by him, including " Police Story ", "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", " Red Zone " and other classic "dragon action movies", which are deeply loved by the audience.
But after all, time is not forgiving. As Jackie Chan gets older, since Jackie Chan's " Chinese Zodiac " came out in 2012, Jackie Chan rarely takes action movies with more "action scenes".
And the 2017 " British vs. " was praised by netizens as "Jackie Chan's last swan song in action movies."
When the editor saw Jackie Chan starting to walk up the stairs in " Pioneer " in 2020, the editor suddenly realized that this big brother was also old!
Sure enough, no one can beat the years. As the wheel of time rolls forward, this former kung fu superstar can no longer fight or fight.
Jackie Chan, who is now over 70 years old, although he is still active on the big screen, the audience does not buy it, especially after the overturn of films such as " Detective Pu Songling " and " Dragon Horse Spirit ". Big Brother's reputation has also declined sharply.
Now Jackie Chan has another new film " legend " coming. The film has a strong cast and attracts audiences with the gimmick of being a sequel to the 2005 " myth ".
But the audience still didn’t buy it. The film failed at the box office on the first day it was released, and received negative reviews on Douban. This masterpiece, which cost 300 million yuan, may lose all its money.
The editor thought that the release of the blockbuster "Legend" would help Jackie Chan turn the tide and restore his reputation, but unfortunately reality gave him a heavy blow. The box office of
was only about 6.3 million on the first day of release. Such box office performance is undoubtedly a heavy blow to an epic masterpiece that cost 300 million.
What’s even more serious is that based on the current box office performance, the AI-predicted total box office of the film “Legend” is only around 100 million, which is in sharp contrast to the pre-release box office forecast data.
Coupled with the domestic box office share ratio of about 35%, if the film "Legend" wants to make back its money, the total box office of the film needs to reach at least 850 million to guarantee the money back, but now the total box office of the film is only More than 42 million, coupled with the poor box office performance on the first day, the subsequent film schedule may decline, which is nothing more than adding insult to injury.
The current split between the producers of "Legend" is only over 14 million, which is still far away from the astronomical figure of 300 million. There is almost no hope of getting back the money, and it is possible that all the money will be lost.
In addition, when the film was first released, relied on AI to restore the "Myth" clips of "Jackie Chan" when he was young as a gimmick to attract public attention. However, this move did not win the favor of the audience as expected, but instead It became the trigger for the audience to complain.
Audiences complained: the AI clips are too stiff. Although AI can imitate Jackie Chan's appearance and movements, AI is still AI. In the eyes of the audience, these AI shots appear stiff and soulless, with no acting skills at all.
In addition to the controversial AI lens, "Legend" is an action blockbuster, but the action scenes are hard to describe. On the contrary, the beautiful scenery in the film steals the show.
In general, the quality of "Legend" is lower than expected, the plot is average, the actors' performance is average, and the action scenes are hard to describe. It seems that the era of Jackie Chan is really coming to an end!
Do you think "Legend" is good to watch? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
