The summer season is here, and many movies are gearing up to achieve good results. Among them, " Legend ", the sister chapter of " Myth " starring Jackie Chan after many years, attracted a lot of attention from netizens after it was released. , seeing Jackie Chan still struggling in the film industry at such an age, many people recognized his professionalism and were moved by his hard work. Therefore, in the early pre-sale stage, the performance of "Legend" was even better than Shen Teng 's " Catch the Baby ".
As a companion piece, this time it is still a collaboration between Jackie Chan and Tang Jili. Except that the heroine Jin Xishan has been replaced by Guli Naza, it can be said that it is the original team. After the release of "Myth", it almost swept the film market and gave the audience Very impressed. It is also the first movie in the history of domestic box office to exceed 100 million yuan. It can even be said to have promoted the development of time-travel dramas. Now it has once again teamed up with Zhang Yixing and Guli Nazha, vowing to continue the glory of "Myth".
However, judging from the data, Jackie Chan's "Legend" does not seem to be well recognized by the market. With a box office of more than 30 million in the screening, the film only ranked fourth on the box office list on the day of its premiere. It is far behind " silently kills " and is not even as good as " Inside Out 2" which was released for 20 days and "There is a Little Shop on the Edge of the Cloud" which was released for 19 days. It can be said that it is far lower than the audience. expected.
And as a new film that premiered recently, the screening rate of "Legend" on its premiere day was only 12.1%, which was only a little higher than the other two films. Although it was only a little higher, the box office of the high-ranking film was still not as good as the other two. However, the film schedule in the future is likely to decline further, gradually making way for the next movie. This kind of market performance shows that "Legend" has neither the support of the audience nor the recognition of the theaters.
The reason why "Legend" failed to be recognized by the market is not that Jackie Chan has no influence, Zhang Yixing has no traffic, and Guli Nazha is not beautiful enough, but that the quality and plot of the work are really difficult to support the high box office. Jackie Chan seems to be addicted to making bad movies in recent years. Although he has been making movies conscientiously, the works he produced are rarely satisfactory to the public.
Not only did this film not receive feedback from the box office, but its reputation even showed signs of collapse after being screened. In the audience ratings, low-star reviews can be seen everywhere, and many high-star reviews can clearly be seen. Spontaneous comments from fans of some celebrity artists. The reason why this film's reputation collapsed so quickly is inseparable from three issues.
First of all, Jackie Chan is getting older. With the change of age, the fighting scenes are not only becoming less and less, but also becoming more and more weak. Several films in the past few years seem to be consuming his own emotions. The same is true for Jackie Chan's new film "Legend" this time. Obviously the public and Jackie Chan know that he can no longer fight, but Jackie Chan, who has been fighting for his whole life, seems to only have appeal through acting.
The second is the embarrassment of the plot. Without Jackie Chan’s passionate fighting scenes to cover it up, the plots of these films are completely exposed to the scrutiny of the audience. This film uses a parallel model of ancient and modern times. On one side is the older Jackie Chan archaeologist. On one side, the young Jackie Chan went on an expedition. The people there in ancient times seemed to have a single-minded mentality and had to give up even if they could survive. The archeology on the modern side also seemed extremely unprofessional. It seemed that no archaeologists had been asked. Professional people.
The most important point is the AI face-changing used in "Legend" this time. In order to make the elderly Jackie Chan fit the role of the young Huo Qubing, the film directly used AI face-changing to transform the ancient Jackie Chan into what he looked like when he was 27 years old. As a result, the AI-switched Jackie Chan in this film looked extremely inconsistent and inferior. Many people complained that it was not even as good as some of the creators themselves.
is such a work, which made many people shout that it was a surprise to enter the cinema. From the current point of view, it is unlikely that Jackie Chan's film will be reversed. Even if some people can tolerate the plot, it is probably difficult. Bear with seeing a shoddy AI face-swap on the big screen. Judging from the current situation, it is almost certain that it will lose money at the box office. What do you think of this film?
