It will be the annual National Day in two days. During the seven-day holiday, I think many friends will bring their families to the cinema, right?
There are not many movies released on National Day. Among them, the disaster film "Search and Rescue" starring Donnie Yen and has caused a lot of heated discussions among netizens. Great, but Donnie Yen voluntarily gave up the kung fu theme and challenged a disaster film for the first time!
02.
This movie is mainly about a family of three traveling to Changbai Mountain. It was originally a very happy and harmonious scene, but because of the father's fault, the son was unfortunately lost. The couple also sought help from the local department, and the rescue operation also So unfold the story!
specializes in the arts, and kung fu stars make kung fu movies, which are the most popular, and comedians who make comedy movies will also get good results, but if a kung fu star gives up his expertise and challenges a field he is not familiar with, there will be consequences. It is conceivable:
"Search and Rescue" is still four days away from the release date. Generally speaking, for a good movie, the pre-sale box office is very good, tens of millions, hundreds of millions are very common, and the pre-sale box office is also You can see the audience's viewing attitude, and Donnie Yen's new work has only 300,000 pre-sale box office!
This also means that everyone is not interested in Donnie Yen's "cross-border" disaster film. If the plot is average, the final box office of the film will not be very good!
03.
Some people will ask, Donnie Yen is a long-established Kung Fu star, well-known at home and abroad, why doesn't he continue to shoot such subjects? Do you want to challenge your weakness (kung fu stars rarely make literary dramas), or do you have no choice?
The answer is simple: it is a challenge, but it is even more helpless!
Action actors rarely get the best actor, because the judges do not think that kung fu movies need acting skills.
04.
Donnie Yen chose to shoot "Search and Rescue" for two reasons!
No. 1, I'm going to be in my 60s soon. Literary dramas don't have high requirements on the age of actors, but martial arts films are different. If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, you can't fight. Or reduce some difficult movements, it is better not to shoot!
Second, Donnie Yen's movie reputation in recent years is very poor
2014 " Frozen Rebirth Gate " Douban score 4 points, box office 143 million
2018 " Frozen Man " Douban score 2.8 points, box office 3400 Wan
2018's " Big Brother " scored 5.1 points on Douban, with a box office of 146 million
2020's " Fat Dragon Crossing the River " scored 4.7 points on Douban, and chose to broadcast on the Internet
2022 "Eternal Dragon Slayer: Jiuyang Shengong" Douban score 3.5 points, choose to broadcast online
Judging from the word of mouth and box office of these works, Donnie Yen has no box office appeal, even if he shoots kung fu films, it is difficult to satisfy investors!
Take Donnie Yen's filming of "Qiao Feng Biography" for example. After the photos came out, many people complained that Donnie Yen was old, and he was out of breath before he even fought. Even the 80-pound heroine couldn't hold it. Obviously, everyone already feels that Donnie Yen is not a front-lineKung Fu star, he can no longer make martial arts movies!
Therefore, Donnie Yen's transformation is inevitable. As for whether "Search and Rescue" will help him successfully transform, it depends on the plot of the movie. If it conforms to the public aesthetics, it is possible to get a high box office, but if the plot is average, in the years to come, Donnie Yen filming is very difficult!
