On May 1st, they compete against each other, who sells the best? The market gave the answer. "Peace Peace Riot Squad " starring Huang Jingyu, Wang Yibo, this movie received a box office of 136 million yuan on May 1, firmly winning the single-day box office championship. After all, the box office appeal of these two idol star actors, as well as the previous excellent market performance of peacekeeping themes ("Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior" series are all action blockbusters recorded in Chinese film history, even in the small branch of evacuation, Rao Xiaozhi " Homecoming ", which received both box office and word-of-mouth reviews), allowed theater managers to free up 27% of the film schedule (proportion) for "Peacekeepers" on the first day of the holiday, which is much higher than "" "Money " received 15% and "Spy House Code: Bai" received 14.8%. Another Hong Kong action film "Kowloon Walled City: The Siege " only received 9.2% of the rankings. But sadly, "Peacekeepers" had the lowest attendance among the four movies.
Who can have the last laugh in the May 1st stage? I believe that the market will continue to provide answers soon. I believe it is only a matter of time before "Peacekeeping Riot Squad" takes over the single-day box office champion and the May Day new film box office charts. I may not even be able to wait until this article is written. Why can't this big movie, which seems to have big stars and big production, not go far?
First of all, the plot is dull and the routines are too deep. The father who sacrificed his life in the line of duty, the son who followed in his father's footsteps, and the young man who didn't deal with anyone at first, but gradually grew up after experiencing life and death moments, and finally chose to sacrifice himself and achieve heroism... It is no exaggeration to say, The whole movie is full of cheesy and unsurprising clichés. If sometimes when the audience complains that a work is lackluster, they will say that it "guessed the ending after seeing the beginning", then in "Why Riot Squad" it is "guessed the whole thing without seeing the beginning". It has been too long since I have watched the film. I have never seen such a dull, boring, boring and lengthy action movie in the cinema, even if it only has a running time of 101 minutes, and even if the audience counts 13 minutes of the 101 minutes as the slow scrolling time of the end credits, But I couldn't help but take out my phone every minute I sat in the screening room, so I could at least choose what to eat for lunch.
Secondly, the production is rough and the big scenes are not good enough. Of course, when the audience bought tickets to watch " Operation Red Sea " and " Wolf Warriors ", they did not expect Lin Chaoxian and Wu Jing to give too many story surprises. After all, this film is adapted from a true story and tells the story of the Chinese peacekeeping police. Movies about being sent by the country to fight for peace in a foreign country cannot be too demanding on the plot level. But compared to the big explosions, big rescues, and big scenes in movies of the same theme, "Peacekeeping Riot Squad" has basically none. The rocket launcher chases the armored vehicle from behind, but only one hits. This is probably the most powerful "big scene" in the movie. Only Huang Jingyu contributed to the fist-pumping scene. It feels like the budget of Lin Chaoxian's movie is burning. , is almost impossible to find in this movie. Even compared to "The Journey Home", which is relatively more genre-friendly and less expensive, what the audience can feel this time is still not satisfying, satisfying, and heart-wrenching. The scenery is relatively crude, and there are foreign extras who basically have no sense of urgency.
Furthermore, the performances of several main actors are also "unforgettable". Unforgettable, not because they are touching or heart-wrenching, or even sympathetic, but because they maintained a high degree of stability in their expressions and postures throughout almost the entire process. Huang Jingyu is tall and has an upright face, but his screen image has basically solidified in the past few years. There is still no breakthrough in "Peacekeeping Riot Squad", as if he has traveled parallel time from his other works, so that after watching the entire film The audience didn't quite remember the captain's name. Wang Yibo's performance level has improved significantly in the past two years, but unfortunately most of the scenes in this movie were shot three years ago. Therefore, Wang Yibo lacked expression management most of the time, his eyes were single, and he could only express anger and anxiety with his mouth.If Ou Hao joined the film after changing roles and reshoots, it is understandable that his performance style is not consistent with the two leading actors. The peacekeeping policeman played by Zhong Chuxi is really surprising. Even if there is no way to completely meet the standards of Jiang Luxia (in "Operation Red Sea", she has short hair, is stronger, looks weaker than the male soldiers, and is quite handsome in action scenes and gunfight scenes), but she is too red-lipped and white-toothed Is the female police officer just for the duration of the film to make dumplings for the holidays and teach local children? After all, her final sacrifice was not only unexpected, but unnecessary.
The filming of this movie was suspended for a time. Later, it was finally completed through reshoots, deletions, etc. But in terms of actual movie viewing experience, the director could not capture "big scenes" such as explosions and car rollovers, nor could he capture "small scenes" such as sniper duels. The poor editing of the movie made it even worse for people who were not already wealthy. , there are countless examples of inexplicable transitions to another scene before a scene is over. There are many times when the mood gets a little heated up and the editor immediately drops the rhythm with slow motion or flashback scenes.
Generally speaking, "Peace Keeping Riot Squad" is more unsightly than Wang Yibo's previously released " Unknown ", " King of the Sky " and " Passionate ". And these three movies have done enough talking and marketing, but they have not reached the box office threshold of 1 billion yuan. It can be seen that no movie can go very far just by relying on idol stars. (Sun Jiayin)
