On July 31st, "A Fight to the Death" starring An Zhijie and Fan Shaohuang premiered online.
This year's summer season can be called the Waterloo of action movies. Under the leadership of Shen Teng, the box office of " Catch a Baby ", a comedy film, has reached 3 billion, locking the summer championship in advance. But what about action movies?
Nicholas Tse 's " Customs Front " has a box office of only 129 million. You must know that the production cost of this film is over 250 million. It is regarded as the key film for Nicholas Tse to succeed Jackie Chan , and it is also a test of Nicholas Tse's ability to carry the banner of Chinese action movies. Unexpectedly, after the movie was released, the literary scene stretched the hips, and the action scenes did not have much highlights. In the end, the loss exceeded 200 million.
At this time, Jackie Chan was ready to come to the rescue, but his attack was even more powerful. " legend ", which
spent 350 million to create, has not yet exceeded 80 million in cumulative box office. It has been 22 days since the movie was released, and the daily box office has dropped to single digits. There is a high probability that it will become the champion of this summer's loss list.
At this time, "Fight or Die" proves that there is still hope for action movies!
Costing only 15 million, On Zhijie's "Death Race" won the first prize, making many summer blockbusters blush!
According to online reports, the production cost of "Fight to the Death" was only 15 million.
Of course, it is considered a large-scale production in the Internet industry. The film has invited two action stars, An Zhijie and Fan Shaohuang, as well as many well-known actors such as Jing Gangshan, Zhao Ziqi, Li Kaixin, Lou Xuexian and many other well-known actors to help out. It can be said that it is in production. With its cast, "The Last Fight" can be considered a theater-level movie.
In terms of popularity, "Death Fight" is also very popular. Only 2 hours after its release,
has already topped the movie charts on all major platforms. It’s a real hit!
An Zhijie has become a money-spinner since he transitioned into making movies on the Internet. The box office of the action movies he starred in is basically more than 20 million, and the super hits can even reach 40 million. With the current reputation and popularity of "Death Fight" , it is easy for the movie’s box office to exceed 40 million.
This year's Internet box office champion is Andy On's "Black and White" with a box office of 37.56 million.
And "Fight to the Death" has Fan Shaohuang's blessing. I dare to say that the ceiling of big Internet action movies has been rewritten by the 47-year-old On Zhijie.
You must know that the box office mechanism of online majors is different from that of theaters. Filmmakers can only get 37% of the box office of theaters, while the box office share of online majors is the money that has been allocated to the film studios, which means that converted into theater results, "Death of Death" "Best" has a box office of more than 120 million. This should make many so-called summer blockbusters blush, especially blockbusters that often cost 200 to 300 million.
The scale has reached the R level, and the action scenes are the biggest highlight of "Death Fight".
The plot of "A Fight to the Death" is very simple, and it can only be said to be watchable.
The story takes place in an island country in the Pacific, which is also a standard feature of large-scale movies in recent years. After all, it is easier to explain the dire straits in foreign countries.
There is a street in the island country where Chinese people gather, which basically means Chinatown, which explains why all the actors in the film speak Mandarin. This street is a mixed bag of people, and evil forces are rampant.
15 years ago, there was a sensational gold robbery case.
Lin Haiya, played by Fan Shaohuang, was the perpetrator. In fact, he was also forced. The villain captured Lin Haiya's wife and daughter, and forced the boxing champion Lin Haiya to steal the gold, and finally killed people and silenced him. Lin Haiya escaped desperately, but his wife All women have lunch. With the help of the fourth uncle, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Lin Haiya changed her face and had plastic surgery, and then changed her name to Lao Chen and started her life again.
A Can, played by An Zhijie, has been looking for Lin Haiya.
Because Acan's father was a policeman in Chinatown and died in the gold robbery case, Acan always thought that Lin Haiya was the murderer.
15 After a kidnapping case, the two met and joined forces to deal with the villain.
"A Fight to the Death" is definitely a clichéd story, and there are countless loopholes in the film. For example, in the opening scene, the fourth uncle performed plastic surgery on Lin Haiya without anesthesia. Not only did the guy's face change, but his face also changed. My height and weight have changed. This is not a traditional Chinese medicine. It is a miracle doctor.
and Lin Haiya became Lao Chen.
agreed to start his life over again, and has not taken revenge for 15 years. He can work as a cook in Chinatown with peace of mind, but why not leave Chinatown? Just to watch the murderer who killed his wife and daughter walk freely every day? The logic here doesn't make sense.
But the action scenes in the movie are really great.
The movie opens with an indoor battle between Fan Shaohuang and the big villain. It can be said that it is full of fists and full scale.
All kinds of hands and feet were severed. In the film, when Fan Shaohuang, a boxing champion, picks up a sandbag and punches someone, his deterrence is really strong. The villain is extremely resistant to being beaten. In this fight scene, he moves around in a small space. Quite like Jackie Chan.
An Zhijie's action style is fierce and ruthless.
, the famous villain of Hong Kong movies, although he played a positive role in "The Last Fight", his action scenes are still his own style. He fights when he can and never talks nonsense. In one scene, a minion brings out his own boss. To shock the police, An Zhijie unexpectedly slapped him in the face several times without saying anything. That kind of refreshing feeling is something that many actors in many movies cannot achieve.
There are also blockbuster fight scenes such as the two teaming up to fight thirty or forty thugs in the corridor, the decisive battle against the villain, etc. The filming was quite good.
Nowadays, when not many people are willing to fight in Chinese action movies, action movies like this are even more rare and valuable!
