Coquettish Rebirth

After the author entered the movie theater, sitting next to the author was a couple with a six or seven-year-old boy.After "The Golden Armor in the City" was played, when a character like Li Man appeared, several sets of shots were aimed at her breasts with malicious intentions, and the couple around the author began to look ugly. It seems to be thinking for a while when the child asks why they want to shoot women's breasts, and how they should answer.Soon, this question came, and the little boy asked his mother——Mom, mother, why did that auntie's clothes not be properly dressed, and her breasts were all exposed. " Regarding this question, the couple faltered in cold sweat, "Well, because... well, this is the need of the plot..." "Why does the plot need that aunt to leak milk?"There are no little brothers or sisters who want to breastfeed..." "Well... um... this is arranged by the director... well, baby, don't ask, or you will affect the uncle next to you..."

In this way, the little boy became quiet, but he turned his head to look at the author, his eyes were full of doubts, as if he was asking the author in a silent language, "Uncle, why didn't that auntie dress properly?" Unfortunately, I don't know how to answer.However, a couple sitting behind the author gave the answer—the young man in the couple said: "This film is wrong. The background is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, right? The clothes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were not like this at all." ! This Yimou is a random shot! Fucking cards!" Then the young woman also echoed, "That's right, I remember that Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and the others didn't dress like this..."

Although the young woman mistaken the life years of Yang Yuhuan and Wang Zhaojun, it is obvious that she is also very dissatisfied with this clothing arrangement.In the episode where Li Man appeared later, the young woman kept staring at the young man, as if checking to see if the young man was staring at Li Man's chest. The young woman lost her temper because of this, and finally she took a stand first, while The young man also had to give up the movie and chase him out.After the young men and women went out, the couple brought their children to see.I really couldn't bear the breast-exploding costumes that appeared again and again, and angrily took the child and left the table.

In my opinion, if you analyze this film purely with an artistic eye, although the film itself continues Zhang Yimou's style of being good at capturing colors, it has always been dominated by golden yellow from the beginning to the end, which makes the audience's eyes tired. endlessly.For this reason, a little joke was made at the end of the show-when the author left the seat and walked out of the screening hall, he heard a middle-aged man complaining behind him. "This piece is too yellow!" The author couldn't help agreeing, "Yes, from a visual point of view, the golden yellow is too bright, and it hurts the eyes." The middle-aged man retorted, "I'm not talking about the color. It's the clothes and the content. A prince who sleeps with his own mother is not counted as sleeping with his own sister, and the woman is still dressed like that, how decent! This is not going to become a Hong Kong third-level film if it continues to be filmed. How did Zhang Yimou become this kind of director!"

The above, this is a piece of film review on Nanzhou, mainly from the perspective of sidelines.As for another film review on Southern Weekly, it is more about the structure and character creation of Hei Laomouzi-such a "City Full of Golden Armor" is full of a strong atmosphere of the old era.It is full of the aesthetic taste of the fifth generation of directors in our country.Such a movie can clearly make young people feel that this is a movie that belongs to their parents.In this movie, the way of telling the story, the language of the lens, the color, the music, and even the acting skills are all accurate in the Chinese film textbooks in the 80s and early 90s.Like Gong Li's expression of sadness and joy in the play, it is completely old-fashioned, like the standard expression in the acting textbooks of the 80s.And the scene of the final battle is like doing the scenes of classic red war movies such as the three major battles.

Such a movie full of fatherly atmosphere.Naturally full of nagging and preaching from the elders.This film is not like Jia Hongjian's "Crazy Wood". In "Wood", we can see that the director of the new era gave up preaching and told jokes to the audience with sincerity and respect. We can see that Jia Hongjian After the movie, I tried every means to amuse the audience, and I wanted the audience to be able to laugh happily after spending money.But in the film "Golden Armor", the audience is like paying for a ticket to listen to the nagging and education of the parents they don't know, and this kind of nagging and education.Still so old-fashioned.

The story is old-fashioned, the worldview is old-fashioned, the youngest prince looks and character is like a class leader in an elementary school in the 8090s and [-]s, and the oldest prince is promiscuous and weak.It's like the young master of the evil landlord's family in the old days, and the emperor played by Zhou Runfa is exactly in line with the representative image of feudal imperial power described in the textbook of Marxist view of history.And Zhou Jielun, such an idol of the new era who was recruited by his parents, wanted a young and healthy sports committee member to join such a big family and be responsible for attracting the attention of young people.

Some people think that the film is full of misty political metaphors, but the author disagrees, because this is the way of literary and artistic expression that the fathers and directors are used to and are deeply influenced by.The fifth-generation directors represented by Zhang Yimou are deeply influenced by the past. They always want to express something and educate the audience.It's a pity that after "Crazy Wood", such a father's model seems too outdated. The old one seems to be the red cheongsam that the old lady dug out from the bottom of the box when she got married, full of mothballs.

Compared with the market reaction, it can be seen that audiences in the new era, even the older generation in the new era, prefer Jia Hongjian's "Crazy Wood".Because such a film is no longer heavy, no longer loaded with more meaning and educational functions.Such a film tells a wonderful story in a language that the people can understand and is willing to understand.Such an approach keeps pace with the times, is young, and is full of vitality.The fifth-generation directors represented by Zhang Yimou should really return to the source of their art education and re-read "Speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art" to see how their parents viewed literary expression methods...

Such two film reviews are too lethal. The first film review secretly pointed out that Zhang Yimou's film is not suitable for children to watch, and pointed out that this film is too erotic.As for the second film review, it directly wants to sweep Zhang Yimou into the dustpan, and then dump it on the garbage dump of history.After these two film reviews were published, the lethality was really great!Originally, many viewers always felt a little weird and dissatisfied after watching this film, but after reading these two film reviews, they immediately found what they were dissatisfied with!

In this way, the complaints of the audience who had watched the film were seduced. It can be said that the criticism of "Golden Armor" was everywhere on the Internet.Originally, if Jia Hongjian was not used as a comparison, then everyone might just be criticizing.But with Jia Hongjian as a comparison, this criticism is even more ruthless!Some people just say that Lao Mouzi is completely old, not to mention degenerate, and has already relied on playing around the corner to attract the audience.Some people expressed angrily that they would never watch Zhang Yimou's movies again, because they are simply not suitable for children!Some people said angrily that they spent money not for education, but for entertainment!Some people even said that Zhang Yi has been fooling around for decades, and the result is not as sincere as Jia Hongjian, who made a movie for the first time. Lao Mouzi really lived on a dog for decades...

Of course Lao Mouzi himself will not read these comments, but investors will!At the same time, the reaction at the box office, that is, from the box office of more than 1000 million a day, it suddenly dropped to only about 500 million!It can be said that the box office accumulation speed of the entire film has dropped from 3 million or even 4 million to nearly 3 million, which is not bad!And such an expectation really pissed off investors!In their view, if the domestic box office is only [-] million, it is far from being able to pay back.Although they have known for a long time that the domestic market cannot pay back their capital, the problem is that the reputation in the market is so bad now, can this film be sold overseas?If they can't sell for the price, wouldn't their investment be in vain?Isn't it just about losing money?

So the investors at this time really want to strangle Lao Mouzi to death!They really thought, why didn't they hug Jia Hongjian's thigh in the first place?If this hugged Jia Hongjian's lap, everyone would be happily counting money by now!It seems that only Jia Hongjian can be trusted in China now!Look at this old man, what a famous person!Moreover, he had studied with Jia Hongjian, so how could he be so far behind Jia Hongjian?This old schemer is so much worse than Jia Hongjian, isn't the others even worse than Jia Hongjian?Why is there no one in China who can learn a little bit about Jia Hongjian? Why is there no one who can make everyone make money with peace of mind?

Under such circumstances, "Curse of the Golden Flower" will be released in the United States soon!This time the film was released in the United States, so it goes without saying that it was distributed by DreamWorks as an agent.And the people from DreamWorks are not very optimistic about this film, and the release schedule of this film was temporarily adjusted, and it was released in the United States for the first week. There are really only 2 theaters... That's right, there are only 2 theaters in one small-scale release.It was released in two theaters for a week and made $1.4 at the box office, which was generally decent, so the film then rose to 60 theaters.Then the premiere performance of the 60 "large-scale" screenings was a total of 5 million US dollars at the box office!This is still the result of 47.8 days in the middle of the week, and the result of the next three days on the weekend is 81 US dollars, and then the next week in the middle of the week, it is 600 US dollars... Generally speaking, according to this progress, even if they are given one It was screened in thousands of theaters, and the final box office was only 200 million US dollars.And after the film's box office officially reached 1000 million, it is true that the theaters also added 200 theaters to show it, but the progress of the box office is the same, but it has increased by [-] million in a week, and such A result that can last for two weeks is probably not bad...
