This is a gift-giving film, and it is also China's first commercial mainstream blockbuster featuring mountaineering adventures.

type breakthrough.
For this year's film market, genre is a market information point that continues to be paid attention to. From "The Wandering Earth" in the Spring Festival file to "The Devil Boy of Nezha" in the summer file, so far these two parts have won the annual box office championship and runner-up with more than 9.5 billion movies, and both of them have been extremely popular in the head film market. "Lack" of domestic science fiction films and domestic "Family Carnival" cartoons.
For a mature film market, simply chasing box office numbers is no longer the goal. The diversification of types and the improvement of professionalism are new issues that domestic films must face. In the National Day file, the gift-giving "Big Three" worked together to boost the market. The current pre-sale box office performance on September 30 has exceeded 200 million, and the combined box office share of the three gift-giving films has reached 98%.
, behind the widely recognized "strongest in history", is the broadening of the genre and subject matter of the gift film collective. This extension of the “border” no longer gives the entire market a cold digital growth. , as the "Climber" that was a "double gift" for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 70th birthday of Shanghai Film Studio, aroused great attention from the outside world when it was set 160 days in advance.
From the "lineup focus" of Wu Jing and Zhang Ziyi to the "genre element" of China's first mountaineering adventure theme, the discussion about this film has started to go beyond the category of "gift movie" to some extent. is also the rare and valuable place of "The Climber". The commercial genre elements in the gift film begin to truly connect with the public.

China's first.
It is reported that "The Climber" is China's first high-concept commercial film on mountain adventure. Compared with Western mountaineering movies, "The Climber" incorporates elements of action movies and adventure movies on this theme. In the previous movie watching in advance, the audience was very impressed by the many scene designs in the movie. This kind of recognition is different from traditional gift films and traditional mountaineering movies.
Previously, the producer of the film Tsui Hark stated that "The Climber" is a blockbuster with similar themes in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea. It is a brand new attempt for domestic commercial genre films. "
is a gift film itself. Various resources that are difficult to reach by commercial films. In this highly concentrated production, the exploration of the type itself is obviously an important experiment on the direction of the entire market. From the actual results, in the first round of word-of-mouth, "The Climber" received a positive response.
In fact, in addition to the broadening of the themes and types of gift films, "The Climber" also has highlights to follow in its own type integration. Although on the surface, the movie is a gift film and a high-concept commercial blockbuster, the movie itself occupies a relatively high proportion of "literary drama".
The love scene between Wu Jing and Zhang Ziyi is an important branch that runs through the entire movie. If you read it from the overall background, at the critical stage of the "heavy duty" at that time, the ups and downs of the two people's feelings are the human nature under the general background. The most direct expression.
, especially Xu Ying played by Zhang Ziyi, "climbing" means not only the apparent Mount Everest, but also the "distance" between people in everyone's heart. Therefore, "everyone has a mountain in his heart" is the meaning of Zhang Ziyi's role in the movie, which is also an important support for filling the movie from another dimension.
In addition, the film is based on real historical events and is adapted from two mountaineering events in 1960 and 1975. The importance of sovereignty and territory behind these two mountaineering incidents gave them extremely special meanings. However, it makes the audience feel that "The Climber" is a real commercial genre, but it actually lies in its fundamental "details." For example,
succeeded in the first summit, but the climbers at the time were lost. The source of confusion lies in "there is no way". No way to go on means successful summit. In fact, this detail, on the one hand, is close to the psychological state of the real summit, on the other hand, it also sees the progress of the gift film in restoring the real details.
From the audience's point of view, this is obviously closer to the film.
passingAfter several years of hard work, regardless of the early "Operation Mekong" and "Wolf Warrior 2" or the later "Operation Red Sea" and "Wandering Earth", the audience's perception and experience of the main theme movie has undergone great changes. In the future, such works will inevitably require more attempts in genre and subject matter. Nowadays, the further expansion of "Climber" in genre and subject matter is also extending the "life cycle" of such works to some extent.

are different.
According to the word-of-mouth feedback received so far, the visual effect of "Climber" is its biggest label.
Since the movie focuses on the experience of the Chinese mountaineering team's two summits in a 15-year time period, the difference between the two summits and the spectacle with an altitude of more than 8,000 meters are important highlights. When
climbed the summit for the first time, because of the steep terrain of the second step, climbers climbed to the top by climbing a ladder. The sway of people in the extreme wind gives the movie a strong sense of substitution. On the second summit, the upgrade of the entire equipment 15 years later allowed the climbers to install the "Chinese ladder" that affected countless climbers during the summit. However, as the peak was reached during a special window, it was faced with even more extreme weather tests.
From the point of view of the main creative collocation, the film finally confirmed the production of Tsui Hark and the director of Li Rengang. The past experience of the two is mainly based on blockbuster visual effects. The rugged Mount Everest and bad weather in this movie essentially left plenty of creative space for the director.
In fact, the two did give the movie outstanding visual effects. As the altitude of the entire Mount Everest rises, the wind will suddenly increase. People's difficult journey in extreme weather is not only a confrontation with nature but also a confrontation with will. The strong wind blowing, the rolling and flying of people on Mount Everest adds more "adventure" elements to the movie. Especially in the "Second Step", the film has been aimed at this special terrain many times, showing the world's highest peak of snowy wonders through the industry's top visual effects.
Whether it is an avalanche or a violent wind, the visual effects of the movie left a very deep impression on the audience. Especially during the second ascent of the summit, the large group encountered strong winds, and the climbers were blew up on the climbing ladder, which was extremely imaginative.
For this movie, the spectacle of visual effects is the label of the movie, and it is also the core advantage of the movie's competition during the period.

resonance.
For "The Climber", "Wu Jing" is a label that can never be circumvented, and it is also a label that should not be circumvented if the movie can sink sufficiently.
This year, the entire film market is facing severe challenges in sinking. Especially in third- and fourth-tier cities, the box office sinking tends to stagnate, which is also the biggest problem facing the movie market in the second half of the year. In the National Day file of , in the competitive landscape of "strong-strong dialogue", whoever has the sinking "right to speak" can seize a favorable position in competition.
Wu Jing has proven his "sinking value" twice in the film market. The combined box office score of "Wolf Warriors 2" and "Wandering Earth" alone exceeds 10 billion. Behind the 10 billion is Wu Jing's super individual Recognition and sinking influence.
In addition to Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Jing Boran, Hu Ge and the guest star Jackie Chan have met the needs of the audience from different levels, and they have also given the audience a high level of recognition because of their "personal tags".
In addition, the theme of the movie itself is no longer a traditional "gift", but to show a spirit through climbing. This kind of spirit is no longer just "big men, big events and great feelings." Due to the diversity of movie genres, the expression of climbing spirit is also more diverse.
At the world premiere of the film, Qu Yinhua’s daughter Qu Hong said that she once felt that her father was “ashamed” because he walked like a duck and “falls down with one push.” The reason is that in the process of climbing at that time, Qu Yinhua was eventually amputated half of his foot because of the "barefoot" climbing. It is precisely because of this "real" expression that
can actually better reflect the preciousness of mountaineers at that time "climbing for the country".
Similarly, Xia Boyu, who failed to reach the summit in 1975, became the first person in China to reach the summit of Mount Everest by prosthetics at the age of 69.My unfulfilled dream more than 40 years ago. This persistence of "climbing for ourselves" also moved many viewers. In addition to the dedication of "mountaineering for the country", in fact, everyone's persistence and courage to difficulties are also the core of "Climbers" hopes to reach. The dual theme expression of itself has a strong possibility of "breaking the circle", and it can also make the public empathize to the greatest extent. This climbing spirit is not only a spiritual pillar at the national level, but also a spiritual pillar for everyone in life and life.
From this point of view, as a gift film, "The Climber" has gone beyond the original category in the expansion and experimentation of genre subjects.
