National Day stalls are finally getting hotter!
Among the films that have been officially announced, the ones with the highest expectations from the audience are Zhao Liying's " Road to Fire " and Zhu Yilong's " Volunteer Army: The Battle of Life and Death ".
One is Zhao Liying proving her box office appeal, and the other is an all-star cast. The former has a more fresh theme, while the latter is the main theme that has been popular for several years. The two works of
are most likely to win the box office championship.
In addition, Xiao Yang and Guli Nazha's " Safe Passage ", Andy Lau's " Crisis Route " and Ge You's " hit Good Guys " will also join this year's National Day melee. .
However, from the subject matter to the story setting to the lineup, the disadvantages compared with the previous two works are still obvious.
In addition, there is a new movie "749 Bureau " scheduled to be released. The movie, which was originally scheduled to be released in 2020, finally found the opportunity to be released after four years of silence.
The all-star cast is here, it’s really full of gimmicks, but when I saw the director’s name: this film is in doubt.
1, disaster theme, telling the growth of young people
The story background of "749 Bureau" is set in 2030. It is a disaster movie that takes place in the near future.
Due to the emergence of unknown mysterious creatures, the entire city is facing an unprecedented crisis, and a secret plan that has been hidden for many years has also surfaced.
The protagonist of the film is young Ma Shan (played by Wang Junkai). He was taken into 749 games and entered a maze of layers, starting an adventure.
Lu Chuan revealed that the young Ma Shan wanted to complete his own growth. He actually did not consider himself a hero, and even initially refused to participate in this adventure.
From resistance to acceptance, to becoming a hero, the young man after the adventure completed his transformation and growth.
Such a story setting does not seem to be eye-catching, but "749 Bureau" is adapted from the director's personal experience, which means that 749 Bureau actually existed in history.
Not only that, the director also mentioned that after watching the movie, at least four magical things happened in just half a year.
Judging from the information revealed by the director, it is indeed very exciting. Even though the filming of this movie ended as early as 2019, the audience is very curious about what four things happened from the end of 2019 to the beginning of 2020.
Two, a strong lineup, top actors gathered together
Although the director did not reveal much about the content of the film, "749 Bureau" announced the cast in advance.
stars the popular top actor Wang Junkai. Even though four years have passed, Wang Junkai's enthusiasm and popularity in the circle have not diminished at all, so this movie can still bring a lot of attention.
And "749 Games" is Wang Junkai's first attempt to play a leading role on the big screen, and it can also allow everyone to intuitively see his true level.
However, Wang Junkai is not familiar with this type of subject matter, so the role is extremely challenging.
The heroine is Xiaohua Renmin. She once revealed that she played two roles in "749 Bureau", but what is novel is that these two roles are not two people, but the same person.
Judging from previous Reuters, Ren Min has straight pink hair, which is indeed very different from her previous image. Ren Min also mentioned that the role she plays will be relatively mature and completely different from the student image she has portrayed in the past.
The director also designed a lot of action scenes for Ren Min. As you can imagine, it will definitely bring a lot of surprises to everyone.
In addition, there are Zheng Kai and Li Chen who are relatively familiar to everyone in this movie. Although the two have gradually become entrenched as variety show stars, their professional standards have not fallen behind.
Especially Li Chen, in the past few years, he has starred in " Changjin Lake ", " A Thousand Miles Home " and other works. He has made impressive supporting roles one after another, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
In the film, Zheng Kai’s wife Miaomiao will play an important role. The husband and wife team up in the same movie. I wonder if the two will continue this identity in real life?
There is also Xin Baiqing, who played the eldest brother out of the circle in "The World" and is also one of the important starring actors in "749 Bureau". His strength is a perfect Dinghai Shenzhen in the film.
However, since "749 Bureau" is an adventure action film, it is still unknown what kind of image Xin Baiqing, who is good at acting, will portray. I believe that the contrast will not disappoint us.
There is also actor Li Meng, who is also in the cast of "749 Bureau". Judging from the cast ranking, she is the third female supporting role and has a lot of roles.
Although Li Meng's personal reputation is highly polarized, in this year's dark horse drama "Mo Yu Yun Jian", the eldest princess played by Li Meng is not bad in strength and good-looking, and has successfully attracted a wave of fans.
Putting these actors together is obviously to ensure popularity and quality.
Fortunately for "749 Bureau", many of the actors may have been unknown and tepid during the filming of the film, but in just four years, their popularity and audience popularity have increased a lot.
Therefore, in the past four years, the lineup of "749 Games" has become stronger.
Three, bad movies hit the streets, reputation plummeted, the director is worrying
Lu Chuan, the director of "749 Bureau", has directed "Kekexili", "Nanjing, Nanjing" and other works, and he can indeed be called a talented person director.
But with the development of the times, rising stars have gradually obscured the light of these veterans, so that directors like Lu Chuan have gradually become a thing of the past.
In 2015, Lu Chuan filmed "The Nine-Storey Demon". This work finally received a rating of 4.4, not even touching the passing mark. The box office was even beaten by Happy Twist's "Charlotte".
doesn’t look like Lu Chuan’s level, but it is indeed a work produced by Lu Chuan who wears many hats, both as director and screenwriter.
And he himself revealed that this " Nine-story Demon Tower " was filmed during his preparation for "749 Bureau", and it also incorporated some of the stories and settings of "749 Bureau".
But not only did he magically modify the classic tomb-robbing IP, he even played a Hollywood style of fighting monsters. There is a sense of cheapness everywhere in the film.
put all his efforts into making this kind of movie. After that, a full 9 years later, Lu Chuan did not use any of his works to redeem himself, and he was still nailed to the pillar of shame by "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" .
Therefore, seeing that the director and screenwriter of "749 Bureau" is still Lu Chuan, I have begun to worry about the quality of the work.
Conclusion
Although no director can guarantee that his work will not overturn, it can be said that there is no other director like Lu Chuan who can make "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" so poorly.
After watching the trailer of "749 Bureau", it is very similar to "Nine-Storey Demon Tower". It is a battle between good and villain, and fighting monsters. It is exactly the same.
Even if Lu Chuan does a good job of keeping secrets, it seems more like a pretense at present, and it is difficult to arouse people's interest.

So, will you contribute to the box office of this movie?
