This score is already very difficult for mainland cinema movies.
But what does not match the high score is the relatively deserted box office of the film. As of press time, the box office in the four days after its release was 17.1 million, and the total box office is expected to be about 40 million.
Judging from this data, it is bound to lose money.
In the face of the examples of various films that do not perform well at the box office and are frequently withdrawn and "rescheduled", it seems quite respectable for "Falling World" not to be withdrawn and not sell poorly.
As for what the video is like, let’s talk about it.
One, tilted perspective: Road to the Gods
In fact, "Falling into the World" is not entirely my cup of tea. My personal impression is a bit naive, and its shortcomings are relatively obvious, but of course its advantages are also outstanding.
In the final analysis, the reason why I want to say a few more words about "Down to Earth" is because I feel that it will not "only sell for 10 million". There is indeed a mismatch between high ratings and low box office.
If you insist on saying that this is a super dark horse like " Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World " that can detonate the summer movie and run for 4 billion and 5 billion, it may be a bit too much and blind.
The content lacks some intensive laughter at a universal level, and the method of value placement is too direct and overflowing, but "Falling into the World" at least deserves to be a little dark horse.
In recent years, the mythical universe has become a big hit in Chinese comics. Whether it is old classics, new stories, or new wasteland-style steampunk mythological universes, they are more concentrated on the old ones such as Sun Wukong, White Snake, Nezha, and Jiang Ziya.
There is such a huge material library, and I always catch these few, why not walk by and see other gods?
(I don’t mean to accuse these people of being bad)
The protagonist of the story of "Down to Earth" is the son of Weaver Girl. Rounding it off is like creating a new passerby in the mythical world.
Compared with the famous masters from all walks of life, this fairy apprentice has a more fresh character on the one hand, and also has a bit of "micro-history" and "civilian perspective" of the divine world. The grand universe of
opens up a new possibility from the perspective of countering the grand narrative.
(Although in the end it is still a grand themed narrative of saving the world)
To a certain extent, the previous stories of Wukong, Nezha and Yang Jian added a bit of strangeness to the classic characters we are familiar with. The colors are transformed, deconstructed and constructed at the same time, and the classics are re-continued with a rebellious appearance.
Jin Feng in "Falling World" is a different approach. The first half is about the "bad luck" second generation and the "guilty" second generation under false accusations. The second half is about the rebellion of the two brothers and sisters who stand alone to challenge their authority. The avenger.
"God" is more civilian and more passable.
The heroine in the film was originally named Xiaofan, but she is actually Jinfeng’s sister Yulu in the world. The two brothers, one in heaven and the other on earth, are eager to find their relatives; My sister, who is a stranger in this world, has a bit of a conceited attitude of "I have no control over my fate".
is still essentially outside of the classic story model, but from the perspective of the "Great Immortal Universe", after all, it has a bit of a "newcomer in the village" freshness.
2. The Weaver Girl: from the edge of love to the core of power
The Weaver Girl often appears in traditional myths and ancient poetry, but it is only about love and begging for luck.
As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they win over countless people in the world; the distant Altair, the bright and beautiful river, or "the sky is as cool as water at night, sit and watch the Altair and the Vega." It has nothing to do with the grand "saving the world" or "saving the world", and takes a back seat to love.
specializes in "qiao" next to the word "female", and only asks about love next to the word "love".
But the Weaver Girl in "Down to Earth" is very different.
Although there are very few positive scenes, and although some descriptions are vague or even contradictory, her golden shuttle and the canopy she weaves are the core artifacts that maintain the stability of the divine world and the human world.
In a sense, the "little" Weaver Girl is more like the God of War who does not fight, and more like the eternal guardian than the Xuanhe God of War.
, this is to put the relatively marginalized Weaver Girl at the end of love into the authoritative center of the power structure.
is a choice that has a sense of isomorphism with the times.
You see, she has no intention of striving for fame and wealth, and just gets over it, but in fact she is far more suitable for saving the world than the "God of War".
, this may also be an isomorphic expression of "love is more powerful than killing".
is not so much just because of the value of pure force, but rather a response to value trade-offs.
The twenty-eight constellations in the story "Down to Earth" are set to have infinite power. They are huge and crazy when they go berserk, but they are cute and cute after they calm down.
can be regarded as an isomorphic attribute of "mighty ancient beast" and "cute and cute pet".
Weaver Girl could not bear the loss of life and risked her life to release the twenty-eight stars; a few years later, the golden wind found the unrecognizable stars. After several misunderstandings and twists and turns, the cute Ox and Taurus persuaded the Winged Fire Snake.
has a bit of a long-lasting feeling of "son of an old friend" traveling through time.
The Cowherd in this version is like a beautiful white moonlight symbol, a symbolic pendant.
But even though there are few scenes and a high degree of symbolism, it is still very different from the traditional "Cowherd on Earth and Fairy on Heaven" paradigm.
In addition, the story also has a bit of a silent contrast between the beauty of the human world and the "ash-like death" of the divine world.
Whether it is placing the marginalized Weaver Girl at the core of the orthodox structure of heaven and earth, or the relationship structure of "Weaver Girl and the Twenty-eight Constellations" like friends, pets, companions and confidants, there are some bold and innovative ideas that break the rules.
Three, a little regret
The main story line of "Falling into the World" is about the capture of the twenty-four stars in the lower realm of the golden wind. They meet a sister who they do not know and want to go to heaven. The two brothers and sisters eliminate misunderstandings. Will save the world.
Although there are some novelties in the selection of gods and the setting of "big men", the main story is still of a very satisfactory type.
sets up a cute and stupid "working rat official", as well as the land who is resentful of the Weaver Girl because of the past (the image of the land is a big fat man wearing sunglasses, which is a bit new), and the surface is compassionate and gentle, but is actually full of ambition and resentment. Overflowing master.
The process of defeating monsters, upgrading and saving the world is also very straightforward.
For example, Jinfeng fights with Weihuohu in a hot pot restaurant, which is a very typical animation scene.
has all the lively scenes and laughs that should be expected from
. The completion is good, but it is hardly amazing.
The final emotional point of the story is also a little too full and too overflowing, and some details are also a little rough.
and Jinfeng and Simu, wearing the same uniform once made me face blind. There may be many points that can be optimized.
But no matter what, "Down to Earth" still has a bright and bright color, and it will not be buried deep in the "increasingly bleak corner of the film schedule."
