Unexpectedly, this summer’s movie market is really getting worse with each wave.
After the third wave of Chinese Valentine’s Day stalls passed, there was little change in the box office market.
Among them, " Catch a Baby " has exceeded 3 billion, firmly occupying the box office championship this time, and the following " decryption " and " retrograde life " are still attacking the 300 million mark. This data is really It's a bit ugly.
The newly launched " White Snake: Floating Life " and " Negative Negative Gain Positive " seem to be good choices.
The former is, after all, the sequel to a big IP, one of the representative works of the rise of Chinese comics, and the latter has two movie stars in charge. No matter how you look at it, you can get a piece of the cake, right?
and then look at the results -
are not very good.
Among them, "White Snake: The Floating Life" earned 200 million in 4 days, and its reputation is also highly polarized, obviously not as good as the previous two works.
And "a negative makes a positive" is even worse.
was actually not as good as the cartoon, even more than 50 million in just 4 days, and the daily box office dropped to more than 4 million.
is really going to make people laugh out loud.
The craze for large-scale productions with a strong lineup has subsided. The summer release plus the Chinese Valentine's Day release are simply the right time and the right place. Under such circumstances, the data of "A Negative is a Positive" is tragic. The comment section of
was even more disappointing, and the total box office was already at the bottom!
is a pile wrapped in gold foil paper. The core of the literary film is just moaning without any illness?
Movies can be abstract, but they can’t be without a little bit of concreteness, right?
You can add interesting elements if you want, but it’s a bit too embarrassing if you don’t have much work to do.
After reading "A Negative Makes a Positive", my evaluation of it is -
is wrapped in golden wrapping paper like Ferrero Rocher, and also comes with a logo sticker. I thought it was expensive chocolate, but when I opened it, I found that it was a lump of chocolate. Xiang was so cold that he was hard.
The relationship between the male and female protagonists can be described in one word, that is: pao friends .
Huang Zhenkai (played by Zhu Yilong ) is an otaku, and Li Xiaole (played by Qiu Tian) is not in a normal mental state (not in a derogatory sense, purely descriptive).
The two were roommates. They didn't have much contact at first, but then they had a relationship, and they quickly became boyfriend and girlfriend.
That’s right, my friend has become a regular employee.
The key element that promotes the plot is Li Xiaole.
She suddenly appeared and led Huang Xingkai to discover the door to the new world, but then suddenly left again, leaving the male protagonist in panic again.
The funniest thing is that Li Xiaole habitually describes one-night stands as "not defining the relationship."
The gun was fired with peace of mind, and the next day I just picked up my pants and left.
On the surface, the movie "A Negative Makes a Positive" is very cool.
is blue and red, has weird hairstyles and even aliens appear.
is actually a capital "Tu".
After watching this movie, I admire even more how awesome the director of " Universe Exploration Editorial Department " is.
It turns out that aliens can be so rigidly inserted into the plot that the originally normal male protagonist seems to have turned into a patient with mental illness.
If you ask about the plot, there is basically no plot. After watching the movie, you can't even find a complete main line.
The plot pulls some emotional lines, it is even more obscene and inexplicable. No one knows what this movie wants to express.
It's too early to criticize " Burning Winter ". At least it has contradictions and concrete plots. "The Negative and the Positive" is really pure hypocrisy.
pirated version of Wong Kar-Wai called low-profile Tony Leung? "Positive leads to negative" is a bit funny.
In order to highlight the difference of the protagonist, the male protagonist dyed his hair blue.
is originally the purest and freest color, but this movie just gave it a non-mainstream feel.
The key is, can the 36-year-old Zhu Yilong really control this hair?
Don’t tell me, some of the shots are really cool.
Either it’s not a front-facing shot, or it’s like the whole frame is covered in oil, but I can still tolerate these.
However, once the lighting or the filter index is reduced, Zhu Yilong’s tired and shiny face really does not match this poor-quality blue hair.
Since Zhu Yilong’s blue hair is set, he should do special maintenance for his hair, either by working hard on the camera, adjusting the angle, smoothing the hair texture in the later stage, or by spending more experience on the hairstylist.
I can’t stand the two scenes below. Who can get into the drama?
It was said before that Zhu Yilong looks like Tony Leung . Fortunately, Tony Leung has never dyed his hair blue, otherwise there is really no comparison and there will be no harm.
Of course, since it is a romance film, the sense of camaraderie between the male and female protagonists is naturally the top priority.
The key is that Qiu Tian is so beautiful in the film, she is lively and dazzling, and has a strong sense of youth.
Such a face is in the same frame as Zhu Yilong’s thin and tired face. The contrast is too strong, and it even feels like a father and daughter.
Coincidentally, there is not only a "low-profile version of Tony Leung" in "A Negative, a Positive", but also a "pirated version of Wong Kar-Wai".
The style of this film, as well as most of the shots and tones, can be traced back to Wong Kar-Wai's previous films. Whether
is a tribute, a reference or a plagiarism, I think everyone who has watched the film already knows.
"Without Wong Kar-wai's life, I got Wong Kar-wai's disease."
In my opinion, from the production team to the cast, only Qiu Tian and Zhu Zhu are the most suitable for this "ghost-obsessed" style of literary romance film .
Because they are attractive enough in appearance and have a strong personal style.
As for Zhu Yilong, he can't act out the kind of rebellious and free-spirited character who wants to escape from comfort, and his relationship with Qiu Tian is naturally not enough.
What concept of love does it show, and whether it really deserves the word "love"? This is left to the audience to discuss. Anyway, I can't get it.
In fact, I think the settings of each character have something to say, but the director chose the most boring things that are not the focus. When piled together, it is just a bad movie.
Conclusion
Zhu Yilong has never made literary films.
In my opinion, "The Mistake by the River", a realistic and realistic literary film with specific characters, is the most suitable for Zhu Yilong.
He does have the kind of charm that Tony Leung has, which is indescribable but can catch your eye without even realizing it.
But this smell needs to be emitted in a suitable environment, and it can be easily dissipated as long as it goes astray.
When many people tried to save the reputation of "The Negative Is Positive", they repeatedly emphasized that only broken people can be healed through this film and understand the plot.
To be honest, this common excuse always makes people feel a little funny.
Give up a good job, use a one-night stand to feel love, and let a strange man heal your childhood. I think only people who have never been truly hurt can imagine that people who lack love will do this.
Literary films, stop causing trouble to the audience.
