...

This year's Lunar New Year stalls are quite lively.

After mid-November, the domestic historical blockbuster "Massacre", Hollywood blockbuster "Wizard", Hollywood animation "Ice Age", Hollywood blockbuster "Robot 11", Wang Rixiang directed a large number of domestic stars The costume comedy " Detective Ouchi" began to enter the Lunar New Year file one after another, and staged a very fierce box office battle.

but--

This is not the most intense.

The most intense is after mid-December.

On December 12, the Hollywood war blockbuster "Special Forces" was released.

On December 12, the Hollywood adventure comedy movie "Museum 16" was released.

On December 12, the sequel "Escape 17", which achieved good results in the first half of the year, was released.

On December 12, "Fortress Besieged" was released.

On December 12, "Manhunt" was released.

At this time, the potential for films such as "Massacre" has not faded.

The point is, these are only well-known movies, including those unknown ones. This year’s Lunar New Year slot is packed with dozens of movies—according to statistics, there are as many as 53 domestic movies, all of which are imported movies. There are as many as 18 of them.

In the Lunar New Year file, domestic comedies have always been more popular with the market and audience.

Like "The Secret Detective", it is actually a big bad movie in its bones, extremely vulgar, it can be said to have no connotation at all, and it is not particularly funny.

But even so, "The Secret Detective" still gained a lot of box office.

As for the domestically produced blockbusters released during the Lunar New Year, all of them are fighting for hegemony.

"The Holocaust" has a very tense picture, plus it stirs up the sensitive topic of the famous massacre in history, and it earned a lot of attention before it was released.

"Fortress Besieged" was shot very simply, very directly, and very sincerely.

"Escape 2" not only still starred Ji Zhaode and Zhang Zhiwei, using the original cast of "Escape" which had a good reputation at the box office, but also spent a lot of money to invite Hollywood action star Shang Ge to act as Ji Zhaode, Zhang Zhiwei and others opponents, and several scenes were filmed in Siam, which seems to be an international blockbuster.

As for "The Manhunt", it is starred by Xu Kai, who has been dubbed the number one action superstar in China recently, and Zhu Bing, the number one beauty in China. In addition to the high-intensity chase and fight, it is also mixed with a variety of jokes to harmonize. The strong entertainment with dense thinking and fun also creates the distinctive characteristics of action comedy.

In other words, "The Hunt" can be classified as a comedy movie.

It's really not that the crew of "Hunting" forced "Hunting" to rely on comedy movies for the sake of box office.

Under the guidance of Lin Da and Tang Jiping, Xu Kai is no longer the master Huang Feihong in "The Grand Master", but the policeman Yu Jiaju who has made many unreasonable and unexpected actions and created a lot of comedy effects. He frequently shook the burden of jokes in the acrobatic and thrilling chase, which made the audience laugh.

So "Manhunt" is indeed a comedy movie, although there are serious parts in it.

In the past, the Lunar New Year films were all domestic blockbusters playing the leading roles, and it was rare to see imported films.

But this year's Lunar New Year, imported films are not to be outdone. Although the number of imported films is still not as large as that of domestic films, Hollywood blockbusters still have an absolute advantage in terms of quality and investment.

All in all, this year's Lunar New Year file has seen a trend of blockbuster movies fighting for hegemony.

but--

After a brutal fight, there is still a movie that stands out.

This movie is "Hunt" starring Xu Kai.

To be honest, Manhunt beats the rest of the pack for a number of reasons.

First of all, it must be that "The Hunt" was shot well.

In addition to Xu Kai's cool and funny performances, "Hunt" created a precedent for Xu Kai to work hard to perform dangerous scenes, and Zhu Bing and Dong Ni's performances in the film also have their own merits. .

The film can be said to be a milestone in Xu Kai's transition from the master of the Republic of China to the positioning of a modern police hero.

The difficult movements performed by Xu Kai breaking through the limits of the human body time and time again are breathtaking.

The second is that "Manhunt" has a huge advantage in domestic comedy movies.

It's also a coincidence that this year's Lunar New Year file, there are only two strong domestic comedy movies-"The Secret Agent" and "The Manhunt", and the rest of the domestic comedy movies are not worth mentioning.

And "The Secret Detective" is another recognized bad movie.

Moreover, when "Manhunt" was released, "Secret Agent" had been released for more than 20 days.

Therefore, for "Manhunt", "Secret Agent" has no competitiveness at all.

Therefore, it can be said that the entire Lunar New Year file is "Hunt", a domestic comedy movie.

Those who want to watch domestic comedy movies can only choose "Hunt".

This gives Manhunt a huge advantage.

What's more, the counterparts set off well.

Not to mention imported films, in the Lunar New Year file, domestic films have always been the world, no matter how strong Hollywood films are, they must be weaker by three points first, and become the choice of the second echelon.

Among domestic films, the ones that can be sold are "Fortress Besieged", "Escape 2" and "Massacre".

Let me talk about "The Massacre" first.

First of all, its subject matter is not suitable for viewing during the Lunar New Year file, a time when the whole family is happy.

The key point is that Lu Xiaojian is too self-righteous, good subjects are badly filmed, and he finds reasons and excuses for war criminals. I didn’t feel like I was shooting a city at all, the field of view is too small, and the plot is blunt and scattered, I’m really disappointed, Lu Xiaojian’s mind is broken!”

It can be said that the reputation of "Massacre" has completely collapsed.

In addition, it was released relatively early.

"Carnage" failed to pose a threat to "Manhunt" at all.

Let's talk about "Escape 2".

It has to be said that in order to make money, Wang Bin and others are really full of sincerity.

It cost hundreds of millions of dollars to invite Shang Ge, and then went to Siam to shoot, trying to put on the skin of an international blockbuster.

The hero and heroine Ji Zhaode and Zhang Zhiwei also worked hard in "Escape 2".

Especially Zhang Zhiwei.

Especially in the last few highlights of her jumping car on the streets of Siam, driving a motorcycle on a train, and chasing a train with a helicopter, the risk factor is extremely high, and she is all in person, which is very exciting.

But this can't hide the failure in "Escape 2".

Shang Ge's 1VS4 in the final battle is far less exciting than Xu Kai's 1VS4 in "Escape"-in addition to Shang Ge's skill being far inferior to Xu Kai, it is also because the action scenes between China and the West are very different.

Like "Escape 2", there is no super exciting action shot of "Escape" jumping 8 meters.

It's also like the male second Xiao Xianrou and the related household Ren Lili in "Escape 2", the whole process is like soy sauce without any sense of existence.

In short, "Escape 2" is not a bit worse than "Escape".

The only one who can be the opponent of "Hunt" is "The Besieged City" starring Zhen Yuyu.

The smooth story, tortuous plot, emotional performance, noble feelings and simple touch of "The Besieged City" are things that the blockbusters criticized in the past tried to do but failed to do, so that many viewers were not because of the plot. Tragic and moving, but shed tears because of the love between father and son (daughter), friends, teachers and students, and love.

But it may be because Xu Kai is more popular than Zhen Yuyu, or it may be because he has an advantage in the subject matter.

After "Manhunt" and "Siege" went head-to-head for a few days, "Hunt" was still better after all.

As a result, one step wins, step by step wins, "Manhunt" slowly begins to ride the dust...
