China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 629: Film evaluation and box office surge [Please subscribe]

"Pacific Rim" is a science fiction movie that has just been released. It combines various science fiction elements such as mechas, monsters, and wormholes to build a future apocalyptic world.

Although the plot is relatively simple, the battle scenes in the film are very passionate, especially the sound of heavy metal collisions that shocked the audience.

An attractive setting in the movie is the memory link. In order to better control the mecha, the pilots need to share each other's memories and thus become one with the mecha. This leads to the story between the hero and the heroine.

At the same time, the battle scenes between mechas and monsters are also very well designed. Just the fact that a huge steel mecha is still, moving, slow and fast is breathtaking, and it is hard to believe that this is an authentic movie. Taoist domestic films.

It is really a pleasant surprise to see a group of Chinese people starring in such a well-made large-scale production.

But who knows that the director of the movie is Sun Yi, an excellent director who has made many classics without fail since his debut.

Recommendation index: five stars.

On the second day after "Pacific Rim" was released in full, Douban ratings were blown up by movie fans.

A purely popcorn-like commercial movie, it was actually given a high score of 8.2 by movie fans, which is higher than many art films by famous directors. This shows that movie fans like this movie.

Both ordinary movie fans and professional film critics are full of praise.

I have never seen anyone come out to make any nonsense or sing the opposite tune.

It’s not that these film critics don’t want to be new and stand out, but they don’t have to be negative.

A movie basically consists of these four things: script, pictures, rhythm, and actors.

If you want to find the flaws of the movie, you have to start from these aspects.

You can't say that because the director is too young and the heroine is too beautiful, the movie is not good and not worth watching.

This is absolutely mindless.

As for Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim", there are no special effects at all. It is on the same level as "Transformers".

They all come from the digital field and are the same company. It cannot be said that the level has dropped because the boss has changed.

Sun Yi even got a salary increase~
As for the actors, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and the various supporting roles are also well played.

With such a story background, you can't say that the actors didn't perform well, because the upper limit of the role is right there.

How else should it be acted?
The heroine played by Liu Yifei saw Sun Yi for the first time. Seeing his decadent look, she even lost the courage to return to the mecha battle, so she yelled loudly:

"This world is going to end and everyone is going to die. Where do you want to die? Here or on the mecha!"

It can be seen from this paragraph that the heroine is a very sassy and attractive woman with an online IQ, a high level of martial arts, and the courage to love and hate at the same time.

She acted very well, and there is nothing to question, as can be seen from the popularity of her character.

The movie has only been released for a day, and the emoticon of Liu Yifei's scene has already been used by netizens.

Used in a variety of different places.

For example, in the QQ work group, if you face a colleague who is trying to make a fortune, just come to the next one.

"The world is going to end and everyone is going to die. Where do you want to die? Here or at work!"

There are also study groups, students who don't work hard, and even game groups, main Ts who don't upgrade their equipment according to the current copy, and so on.

You said that in this case, criticizing Liu Yifei's performance in this role is asking for trouble.

To criticize the movie, we can only start with the slightly weak script.

But Sun Yi is also a thief. He openly admitted at the end of the premiere that his script was a clichéd story.

If the shortcomings of the movie are stated without hesitation, then all the paths of this group of film critics will be blocked.

As for the rhythm of the film, some people have already commented on it, and it has been hailed as one of the overall advantages.

In the latest director column of "China Film Report", the most popular movie "Pacific Rim" was commented on recently.

I won’t talk about the special effects, actors and scripts, but just the review’s analysis of the film’s rhythm:
"If the performance of a movie mainly depends on the actors, and the visual effects mainly depend on the special effects company, then the overall rhythm of the film is the most practical manifestation of the director's skill."

"In my opinion, the rhythm of the movie "Pacific Rim" is its greatest advantage. Its success is due to a very smooth structure, which also demonstrates Sun Yi's personal directing ability."

"The first act of the film (1-21 minutes): briefly explain the past of the previous film, the current situation of this one, and the heroine's character and life goals, while also eliciting where the mecha department will go and whether the human world can The suspense of being saved."

"The first half of the second act (21-55 minutes): Through a holographic image flashback, the male protagonist is introduced, and at the same time, the fans are shown the fighting style of mechas and monsters. It is regarded as the first high-burning climax of the whole film. And the male and female protagonists come together, and through daily conflicts in training, the two protagonists slowly get to know each other, and the first step in the development of their relationship is here. "

"The second half of the second act (55-90 minutes): Crisis strikes. The theory laid out in the first act meeting that the two monsters invaded at the same time is confirmed. With the front facing a loss, the male and female protagonists drive the mecha with great force. The building was saved from falling, and the spark of love was sparked during the battle. This is the second climax of the film. "

"The third act (90-120 minutes): Three monsters are hovering at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The whole world has reached the point of life and death. The male and female protagonists regardless of life and death, resolutely attack, and the war begins. This is the third climax of the film."

"The whole movie can be said to be one climax after another."

"The smooth rhythm is possible thanks to director Sun Yi's overall control of the film."

"The main characters and story conflicts have been laid out in the first half of the second act of the film. Once the problems are fully unfolded, the second half of the second act and the third act are when all the problems are solved."

"In this way, the audience will seem to be overwhelmed, and they will only feel that the climax is coming one after another, making it difficult to extricate themselves."

Liu Yifei used to have a habit of hiding alone and secretly reading the comments whenever one of her works was released.

Then when I see myself being praised and criticized, I feel happy or miserable, and even when serious, I wipe my tears alone.

However, since she got together with Sun Yi, her fan base has increased exponentially, while on the contrary, the voices criticizing her have become smaller and smaller.

Although she knew that this was not unrelated to her own efforts, she also knew that good works created by Sun Yi were the most important thing.

Therefore, her new habit now is to stay in the small home with Sun Yi, either lying on the sofa by herself, or getting into Sun Yi's arms, holding a notebook, and reading all the movie reviews about the two of them.

That was it today. After dinner and a walk, the two of them sat on the sofa together.

Sun Yi was paying attention to the Star International theater data sent to him by Sister Lan, while Liu Yifei was reading various film reviews.

"How is it? Are today's box office results satisfactory?"

"It's pretty good. The additional shows are basically full. The IMAX theater is packed with seats, and the 3D theater has an attendance rate of over %. Today's box office will not be bad, and it will definitely exceed the first day. cut."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she quickly stood up and asked Sun Yi excitedly:
"Brother, do you think our movie can exceed 100 million in two days?"

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and touched Liu Yifei's forehead.

"Why?"

"I want to see if you have a fever. You are confused. You have exceeded 100 million in two days. You really dare to think about it."

If there were another year or two, it would still be about the same!
Sun Yi thought so in his heart.

"Tch, there's nothing I shouldn't think about. I even dreamed that the two of us would make over 100 million yuan on the first day of filming." Liu Yifei argued, holding her neck.

Sun Yi laughed, leaned closer and asked:
"Ms. Liu Yifei, let me interview you. You dreamed that the box office of a movie exceeded 100 million on the first day. How did it feel? Are you so excited that you can't control yourself?"

"Well, I'm so happy~" Liu Yifei nodded cutely.

"Halazi didn't leave much behind."

"Uh-oh, what! Go to hell!" "Oh, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong~"

The pillow suffered another disaster.

After Sun Yi had to admit his mistake, he calmed down Liu Yifei's anger and shame, allowing her to lean into Sun Yi's arms again.

"Brother, look at this film review. Wow, the analysis is so good. It feels like he participated in your script preparation meeting."

Liu Yifei pointed at the screen of her laptop and said to Sun Yi.

Hey, is there such a thing?
Sun Yi lowered his head and looked up.

After browsing through it, I was amazed, but when I saw the signature of the article, I suddenly realized it.

Old friends.

"Written by Zhang Li, his film reviews are very thorough in analysis. It's not surprising at all to see this."

It must have been specially commissioned by "China Film Report" from Zhang Li, just to catch up with the recent popularity of "Pacific Rim".

Although overall, there is a slight suspicion of spoilers, but it is nothing, it is just similar to the trailer.

"Brother, look behind you, is there anything else?"

Sun Yi took a look and found that this man really dared to speak out and revealed everything he didn't say explicitly. No wonder his film reviews were so popular among movie fans.

In his comments, he also analyzed the script issues of Sun Yi's self-destruction.

"I don't think Director Sun Yi's script is old-fashioned. In my opinion, a movie must be quite pure, that is, the story must be simple and the theme must be clear."

"Classic story scripts all achieve this, but when many people are creating, they often want to express their rich inner feelings and try to integrate them into the movie. In the end, the movie becomes a mess, the rhythm is a mess, and the sensationalism is too much. Fierce and narrative.”

"Believe it or not, I predict that if another domestic director were to make this movie, the emotional line between Liu Yifei and the 'Black General' as a father and daughter would definitely be extended. He is a life-saving grace, and he is both a teacher and a father. This It’s very suitable for the performance of our domestic directors.”

"And the male protagonists will definitely kiss each other at the end of the film."

"Of course, the script of this movie is not a masterpiece, but it is a very mature script that perfectly matches the type of film."

"Sun Yi's movie is like a perfect homework assignment, just telling you how to copy it."

"For movie fans, if you spent a pleasant 120 minutes in the cinema, it means that you got this happy time because of the director's ability and the screenwriter's excellent writing skills and structure arrangement, then you are Already got something worth the price of admission!”

Seeing this, even Liu Yifei noticed it and asked Sun Yi with a smile on her face:

"Did you say everything that was on your mind?"

Sun Yi glanced at Xiao Nizi helplessly and sighed.

"You are the only one who is smart."

"Hehe, that's right."

Xiao Nizi was so happy that she directly reposted the article to her Weibo homepage.

"Eh, eh!"

Sun Yi didn't even have time to stop him.

"what?"

"Isn't this a bad idea? It's a bit too explicit."

"Whatever you're afraid of, I'm happy with it."

Liu Yifei curled her lips nonchalantly.

In fact, she was thinking much more than she appeared on the surface.

My brother is a well-known director with a very high status. He has always represented the entire starry sky, so he often has no choice but to do what he wants.

There are some things you can't just say if you want to. At most, I just want to do this this time, to shame myself and block other people's mouths.

But she is different. She is just an actor. She doesn't have so many bonds, so she is not afraid. No matter what the flood is, it is enough to have her brother by her side.

Then let her say something.

Isn’t it said that only women and villains are difficult to raise?

I just want to be a woman who is difficult to support my brother, what’s wrong!
Liu Yifei happily pinned this Weibo post to the top and even liked it herself. In the words of later generations, it was like a one-click triple combo.

Sure enough, after a while, a large number of comments appeared on her Weibo, all of which were complaints about other domestic movies.

Seeing this, Sun Yi could only dote on him while shaking his head helplessly.

However, it doesn't matter. Two years ago, he was able to protect Xiao Nizi against Hua Yi, let alone now.

"Okay, go to bed early. You have to get up early to catch a flight tomorrow, so don't be lazy in bed anymore."

"Okay~"

Taking advantage of the popularity of the movie, Sun Yi planned a week-long publicity roadshow. He planned to visit several important box office cities to add more fire to the movie. He would set off tomorrow, so he asked Xiao Nizi tonight Go to bed early.

But when the others were about to enter the bedroom, they found that there was no movement behind them. When they looked back, they saw Liu Yifei still lying on the sofa, and she immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Tsk, you promised to do it, but you've moved on!"

Liu Yifei was looking at Sun Yi. When she saw what he said, she closed her eyes, tilted her head, and muttered.

"Liu Qianqian has fallen asleep and cannot move. She needs to be carried in~"

"you"

The daughter-in-law whom I chose based on my strength has endured it!
On Monday, the two had just arrived at the first stop of promotion, Xiao Nizi's hometown, Jiangcheng, and the movie's first-week box office results came out.

"Pacific Rim" was released for three days in its first week, with box office results of 3780 million, 4010 million, and 4280 million respectively, breaking a record of 1.2 million.

You know, this was only in 10. At the same time, this was still a Chinese-language movie. The overall box office trend was close to that of "Avatar" at the beginning of the year, which caused many media reporters to speculate.

Can Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim" break the 13 billion box office record set by "Avatar" and become the number one box office grosser in the domestic film market?

Judging from the current situation, the possibility is really not small.

At the promotion site in Jiangcheng, when they learned that Sun Yi and Liu Yifei were coming to promote the road show, the movie fans went crazy with joy. All the movie tickets that day were sold out and scalpers charged them up several times the price.

Banners with slogans like "Jiangcheng's Daughter" were directly displayed at the scene to welcome Liu Yifei.

It can be seen that the elders in his hometown have regarded Liu Yifei as the pride of the city.

Xiao Nizi was also very happy and welcomed every fan enthusiastically. On the night after the event, she went back to her grandma's house for a big meal. It could be said that she was working and visiting relatives at the same time.

The next day, the two started promoting the next city.

At the same time, across the ocean in the United States, "Pacific Rim" has also begun to be officially released.
