As the National Day is approaching, the major films to be broadcast in the film market are ready to be released, and they all want to take the box office in one fell swoop during this period, but who is the biggest winner? This is really Hard to say.

The movie " Road to Fire " is based on the theme of anti-trafficking. The simple, crude and very refreshing trailer can't help but whet the audience's appetite.

And Zhao Liying 's excellent counterattack after turning from a popular actor to a Feitian Award winner will also provide popularity for the film, and it will undoubtedly have the greatest chance of winning.

But we cannot underestimate the advantages of war movies in this period. " Volunteer Army Part 2 " has also received a lot of expectations, because the new plot will focus on telling the story of Zhu Yilong. It is inevitable that the actor will join striking.

However, the National Day movie has not yet come, Xiang Zuo was the first to bring up the new film " The Treasure in Front of the Gate " and harvested a wave of box office in advance. It is said that he turned down " Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " in order to film this movie. invitation, claiming that he had no regrets and seemed confident.

But the results cannot deceive people. Five days after the film was released, the cumulative box office was only 1.34 million, which was a waste of money.

I don’t know if Xiang Zuohou doesn’t regret it, I just know that the audience who spent money to buy tickets to watch the movie should almost regret it in their intestines! So what's wrong with this movie?

01 Low-profile version of "Master"

"The Treasure in Front of the Door" tells the story of the death of the director of a martial arts gym in Tianjin in 1920, and asked his eldest disciple Qi Quan ( An Zhijie ) to succeed him as the director. Unexpectedly, the latter committed many evil deeds and ruined the martial arts gym. Reputation, breaking industry rules.

Under the persuasion of the seniors, the eldest son of the former curator, Shen An (played by Xiang Zuo), came back to challenge the martial arts competition, and the battle of martial arts began.

I believe that many viewers choose to watch this film not to give Xiang Zuo face, but because of the name, which is -

"Xu Haofeng" .

Known as the "Light of Modern Martial Arts", he has created his own unique style of martial arts films and is good at presenting action aesthetics. It's a pity that he failed to make a good film that can compete with the classics this time. "The Treasure at the Gate" can at best be regarded as a low-end version of "The Master", with two major flaws that dissuaded the audience.

The first flaw: the writing and acting are bad.

There are quite a lot of martial arts scenes in the whole movie, and it should be comparable to literary dramas. However, director Xu Haofeng may not be good at shooting literary dramas, and once again he made the characters look pretentious.

But the "pretend" he shot is different from Cheng Er's self-defeating "pretend". The characters can't even say all their lines, and always want to use a lot of blank space to let the audience imagine, including the behavior of the characters. The motive does not describe rationality and logic.

In the words of netizens, Xu Haofeng understands the story in his mind, but he just can't explain it clearly.

At the same time, the emotional line is not poignant.

Because the interaction between Xiang Zuo and Guo Biting in the same frame is like two unfamiliar actors filming a music video. Every move is full of deliberateness, and there is no affection for each other in their eyes.

The ending is exactly the same as the routine of "Master". It is modified on this basis and added with Xiang Zuo and Guo Biting's "Platinum Travel Photography".

The second flaw: the texture is bad.

It is said that in order to invest in this movie, Xiang Zuo spent nearly 200 million, but to be honest, I really didn’t see it, because a lot of scenes didn’t feel old, and the studio style was too obvious, not as good as some online Great texture.

Moreover, the camera panned wildly, and the storyboarding was done like an amateur. The moving camera in the opening booth was not steady. Those who didn’t know better thought it was a vlog the director shot for himself when he had nothing to do.

I can only say that the audience who chose to watch this movie suffered. The movie of more than 100 minutes was a hypnotic, sleepy and eye-catching, and many people left early. It was so bad that it was unacceptable.

However, it was the actors who really persuaded the audience.

02 Stop it, Xiang Zuo!

At first I felt sorry for Xiang Zuo that he actually gave up "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" for this bad movie, but after watching his performance, I felt lucky that he gave up and didn't go to other people's movies.

In fact, viewers who have watched "Infinity Class 2" are somewhat mentally prepared for Xiang Zuo's acting skills, but in the new movie, his facial features are less flying around, and he is more like a human-machine system implanted with a program.

In order to make himself look cool and ruthless, he pressed his eyebrows and stared with his eyes the whole time. This kind of feeling is not domineering from the inside out, but a feeling of being strong on the outside and strong on the inside.

And when he faced the villain, he seemed to be unable to do anything but continued to rush without thinking. It reminded people of the embarrassing duel between Xiang Zuo and Brother Yaoshui. In fact, after going round and round, he was still standing still.

Xiang Zuo has participated in many variety shows in the past two years, and his frequent appearances are just to gain some popularity.

However, he may have overlooked that if an actor wants to gain attention, his background and resources are not important. Only his own strength is the king.

With his ability and appeal, he might as well make a cameo in other films. If he wants to become an action star and take the box office, it is simply wishful thinking.

In addition, the only role that the heroine Guo Biting has been able to play well in so many years is actually Nan Xiang in "Little Times ".

In this new movie, she plays Xia An, the male protagonist’s lover, a beautiful “vase” raised in a mansion, and a social butterfly in Vanity Fair.

In order to make herself more charming, Guo Biting staggered when she walked, and her every move exuded a sense of gaudiness that could not be put on the stage.

It’s because her acting skills are really not good, otherwise she wouldn’t have become popular in other roles after so many years.

The second reason is that her personality and temperament are too different from the character. The audience can clearly feel that she is performing, not the character itself, which is too distracting.

In comparison, the supporting roles such as An Zhijie, Tang Shiyi, and Nishina are eye-catching, but it is a pity that the protagonists are stretched out, and they cannot drive the box office.

03 Conclusion

This "Treasure Land in Front of the Door" should also represent Xiang Zuo's desire to inherit his father's glory, but just like a line in the movie: "Can your talent be higher than that of your father?"

Now it seems that Xiang Zuo wants to inherit his father's glory. If Zuo wants to surpass Xiang Huaqiang, he still has a long way to go.

Mainly because he didn't realize his problem all these years. Although his acting skills were not good, he thought he could gain fans through acting. As a result, he didn't do much good in acting. In addition, his appearance was not good enough, so that he had been in trouble for so many years. Didn't take into account the popularity of passers-by.

If someone else had such a good family background and married Guo Biting as his wife, he would have already been successful in the entertainment industry.

It seems that some people are not destined to be actors.

The current box office growth of this new movie is too weak. It is predicted that the total box office will not even exceed 10 million, and it will lose everything.

Even if Xiang Zuo's family is rich, they shouldn't be so prodigal, so they should stop as soon as possible.

So do you think this movie is worth watching?
