The National Day movie market should be a bustling battlefield where heroes compete for success. However, this year’s National Day movies seem to be packed with blockbusters, but there seem to be only a few that are available. The ones that are currently popular are " Volunteer Army 2", "749 Bureau " and " Road to Fire ".

The National Day holiday has only passed two days, but the National Day box office ranking has undergone a big reversal. It is obvious who among the three blockbusters in the first echelon will have the last laugh. "749 Bureau" has become a dark horse at the box office, ranking third in the theaters in one day. Hell, even "Road to Fire" couldn't beat it, but "Volunteers 2" obviously didn't stand in the way.

"749 Bureau" is directed by the well-known director Lu Chuan. It brings together Wang Junkai, Ren Min, Zheng Kai, Miao Miao and other powerful and popular actors. Its science fiction theme is closely related to In recent years, there has been a sci-fi boom in the domestic film market. On the first day of its release, the film, relying on its strong early promotion campaign and the high popularity of its leading actors, achieved a box office success of 170 million, becoming the first-day box office champion during the National Day season. The total box office is estimated to be 900 million+, and it was once regarded as a dark horse at the box office. It seems to indicate that it will become the most dazzling star of this holiday.

However, the good times did not last long. As the first batch of audiences walked out of the theater, overwhelming negative reviews followed. Unexpectedly, the score on the second day after the release was only 5.0, which was the lowest score among several films. Douban was very poor. Reviews, reputation quickly collapsed. On the third day of release, the Douban score quickly dropped to 4.8 points, and the box office also suffered a cliff drop as word of mouth collapsed. The single-day box office was even less than a fraction of the first day's box office, which was more than 10 million box office short of "Road to Fire" , the daily box office fell to third place, with nearly 400 million in box office evaporated in two days.

Although "Volunteers 2" was counterattacked by "749 Bureau" on the second day, due to the film's score of 7.5, good reputation, steady performance, and rapid daily box office advantage, the total box office forecast continues to rise, with the total ticket forecast rising from 900 million+ It was raised to 1.5 billion+ level, not to mention a sharp increase of 500 million, and it regained the Japanese crown.

At present, "749 Bureau" has become the target of verbal criticism from the audience. Many viewers said that the plot of the film is fragmented, the logic is confusing, and people are confused. The film tried to build a huge world view, but failed to effectively connect the various plots, causing the audience to frequently act out during the viewing process and find it difficult to resonate emotionally.

As for the special effects, although it was claimed in the early publicity that a Hollywood team was used, the actual effects were greatly reduced. Especially the special effects in the second half were jokingly called "fifty cent special effects" by netizens, which was far from the audience's expectations.

Faced with the collapse of the film's reputation, director Lu Chuan was pushed to the forefront and was obviously under tremendous pressure. He posted several updates on social media, calling on the audience to direct criticism at himself and not to implicate the actors and creative team.

However, this response failed to calm the anger of the audience, but instead caused more controversy. Some viewers pointed out that Lu Chuan's remarks were suspected of diverting attention. After all, the quality problems of the film were not solely caused by one person's responsibility. Some netizens bluntly said that Lu Chuan should face up to the shortcomings of the film instead of evading responsibility by changing the topic.

In fact, everyone did not criticize the actors. The main points of negative comments were the plot and special effects. As a popular celebrity, the male protagonist Wang Junkai has always had a lot of doubts about his acting skills. However, the two movies " Hedgehog " and " Wild Child " released this year received high ratings, and Wang Junkai's acting skills have also been praised. More and more people are affirming it.

This "749 Bureau" was filmed in 2018. Wang Junkai was only 19 years old that year, so not many people were critical of his performance in the film.Thanks to his performance in this movie, he has a large number of fans and can attract a lot of audiences. It can be said that this movie is completely holding him back.

Therefore, when it comes to Lu Chuan’s shouting that everyone is pointing at him, netizens also responded politely that they are pointing at you. When Lu Chuan released " Catch a Baby ", he posted a post complaining that "Catch a Baby" was a "low-quality and highly alkaline comedy film", and also said that the high box office of "Catch a Baby" is a "sadness for culture."

I didn’t expect the boomerang to come so quickly, and now everyone is calling his movies bad.
