Chapter 814 The face-blind audience

""Operation Red Sea" broke [-] million on the first day, and Tang An once again broke the first-day box office record for Chinese films, leading domestic films to dominate the summer schedule!"

"Domestic films are making a strong recovery, and "Operation Red Sea" is a hit, earning 3.1 million yuan on the first day!"

"The best Chinese-language commercial war blockbuster, "Operation Red Sea" broke [-] million in a single day, and the word-of-mouth exploded, with real guns and live ammunition, punching to the flesh!"

"A new benchmark for military war movies, "Operation Red Sea" redefines military movies with the standards of Hollywood blockbusters, and the production level and effects are not inferior to Hollywood blockbusters!"

"The best movie of the year is released. "OPERATION RED SEA" conquered audiences all over the country within one day of its release. Book the best movie of 2015 in advance!"

"Yesterday, Director Tang An's new film "Operation Red Sea" was released on a large scale in China. As Tang An's No.11 film, it still did not disappoint the audience. Breaking the first-day box office record for Chinese-language movies!"

""Operation Red Sea" raked in 3.1 million on the first day, accounting for 90% of the total box office that day, and swept the entire Lunar New Year file as soon as it was released. Can Tang An's previous boast of 40 billion box office come true?"

On July 7, the morning after the film was released, news about the box office of "Operation Red Sea" appeared on the news of every online media.

As the most important movie in the summer, "Operation Red Sea" has attracted the attention of almost all media and audiences.

What's more, Tang An publicly shouted a goal of 40 billion at the premiere ceremony. This number is kept in everyone's mind. Some expect Tang An to reach a new high, and some want to see Tang An being slapped in the face by himself .

3.1 million on the first day, if the word-of-mouth is okay, according to the trend of general blockbusters, it can almost break 30 billion.

The ratio of the total box office to the box office on the first day is about 10:1. This is the normal ratio of commercial movies with a good reputation, which fluctuates according to the audience and reputation of the movie.

The first day of "Fast and Furious" was 3.6 million. Although word of mouth is not bad, most of the potential has been consumed in the early stage, and the trend is not good.

However, the box office trend of each of Tang An's previous movies was quite strong.

Moreover, the current word-of-mouth of "Operation Red Sea" cannot be better. Although it has only been released for one day, it has become a hot topic on all related websites and forums.

"This is the first time I was moved by watching a domestic war movie. It is not as embarrassing as watching other domestic war movies before. Stone was injured. Tong Li fed him candy and said that it would not hurt after eating candy. The medical soldier died before he died. The communicator must be connected to the electricity. Although many main theme movies have such a similar plot, "Operation Red Sea" is not artificial at all, and it is not sensational. The medical soldier didn't even have many shots to show him before he died. The state at that time was more natural.”

This is a long comment from a movie fan, and it is also the difference between "Operation Red Sea" and many military war movies.

Shots like this are not just side effects, but also the main supporting role. At least a long shot should be given to show the fearless spirit and psychological state of the characters at that time.

He himself was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he had to struggle to switch on the power of the communicator at the last moment of his life. Just such a shot, more than two minutes is indispensable.

The pain of the actors, the difficulty of the movements, the fearless expression on the face, the decisive eyes, etc., can be used for half an episode in a TV series.

In "Operation Red Sea", just two or three seconds passed in such a short time. Although the time was short, it was not artificial and deliberately sensational.

There are many wonderful war scenes in the movie, but the weight of each character is not very important. Many viewers don't even remember who is who in the Jiaolong Brigade after watching the movie, which caused a lot of complaints.

"After watching "Operation Red Sea", I found that I was a little face blind. Everyone was wearing the same clothes, helmets, and oil paint on their faces. I was too busy watching war scenes. Many times I didn't recognize who was who."

"Haha, me too, but I didn't have time to think so much when watching the movie. Anyway, after watching the movie, I feel like I've been fighting all the time, which is really cool."

"It's okay, Zhang Yi and Shitou are more obvious. Isn't Shitou the second bull in "Special Forces", and the woman is also easy to recognize. Gu Shun's tugging looks like a beating, and the style of painting is different from others. Same, easy to recognize, but when ambushed, I feel like I have integrated into the Jiaolong brigade, and later when we act together, it is difficult to recognize."

"I'm also face-blind, and when I saw it with my girlfriend, I also looked confused, but in the middle, we jointly recognized the face, and probably knew who was who."

"Don't talk about it, I saw that I didn't even know how many people died in the end. The pace was too fast, and I felt that Tang An did it on purpose so that we could go to the second brush."

"I've already done it twice. I only remembered Du Jiang after watching it twice. It's all because of his recognizable eyes. Xia Nan, Shitou, and Tong Li are also fine. Li Dong, Gu Shun, and the other dead one, I always forget. His name but I knew he was the guy who was scared after seeing so many dead and disabled, and there was another one I forgot what was called, I knew he had a broken arm."

"I don't even know what everyone is doing. I just remember that Gu Shun was a sniper, Xu Hong was a bomb defuser, and the one who died in the sheepfold and the one with a broken arm, I can't remember these two safely. gone."

"The one who died in the sheep pen was the communication soldier Zhuang Yu. When he was scared before, I thought something would happen. In the sheep pen, I thought I could save him again, but he was shot again. The stone and the others were besieged. Really desperate."

"It's so pitiful. Even if the sheep in the sheepfold seem to be alive and haven't run away, it's too fake."

"The stone is the worst. I really felt distressed at the time, and I was really afraid of the location where the bullet hit, so I subconsciously covered my neck."

"Really seal the throat. Tong Li held his throat and fed him candy. The blood from that artery spurted out. I felt very uncomfortable."

It was only the first day of release, and the pace of the film itself is fast, and it is a group play. Many viewers who watched it once were confused about the plot and characters, and most of the discussions and complaints on the Internet were about this aspect.

For actors, this is not good news.

If an actor wants to be famous, he must be remembered by the audience, otherwise, no matter how many scenes you make, it will be useless.

In a movie theater in Haidian District, the expressions of several actors were a little strange.

Tang An saw that they were somewhat excited and depressed, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, everyone is not energetic?"

"It's nothing Director Tang." Zhang Yi shook his head and said, as the lead actor in the movie, he is already satisfied enough, not to mention that he can't say in front of Tang An that he doesn't have many roles and doesn't stand out enough.

No one else dared to say anything.

It was Peng Yichang who spoke first, and he leaned over with a playful smile and said, "Director Tang, the face blindness of the audience is getting worse and worse, and they can't even tell who we are."

Peng Yichang is a fellow of Deng Chao. He is also from Jiangnan Province. He is no less valued than Liu Haoran, who has become famous. The township party plot can be found everywhere. Ma Yun and Ma Huateng are Zhejiang merchants and Chaozhou merchants respectively. The main character, this cannot be avoided.

If he was going to film Tang An's scene, Deng Chao naturally mentioned him to many people. As long as it is not working time and does not make troubles, Tang An is very easy-going, let Peng Yichang seize the opportunity.

However, the others were afraid that Tang An might think that they had some objections in their hearts, so Du Chan quickly said, "The main reason is that Director Tang's arrangement of the plot is too tight. The audience is attracted by the wonderful plot and intense combat, and they can't remember who is who." That's normal too."

Tang An suddenly understood, smiled and said, "It's no wonder that the audience is face-blind. It's a group show, and you are a team. You have been acting together and wearing helmets. If the audience is not familiar with you, Even if you didn't know you before, it's really not easy to recognize."

That's the case when the celebrities in the drama are not popular.

It is not that simple to become popular because of a certain play.

Either the characters themselves are very charming, such as Xiao Ma in "The True Colors of Heroes", Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers", and Cheng Long in Kung Fu comedy.

It is a certain actor who impresses the audience the most after watching the movie. For example, after watching "God of Gamblers", the audience's first thought is that Zhou Runfa is too cool, and then how wonderful the movie is.

"Wolf Warrior 2" has a similar effect on Wu Jing.

As for "Operation Red Sea", as a group play, if you want a certain actor to stand out, you have to sacrifice other people's roles, and even change the tone of the whole play.

TV dramas are much better. After all, it has been a long time, and "Sword 3" has made the three heroines popular.

And it has to have its own characteristics. It doesn't mean that the most scenes will impress the audience.

The hero of "In the Name of the People" is Lu Yi, but obviously Li Dakang is the more outstanding one. When this drama is mentioned, the first person that the audience thinks of, at least half of the audience will first think of Li Dakang .

Tang An understood their thoughts. After all, the box office of the movie was a big hit, exceeding [-] million on the first day. If it was a movie with an absolute hero, and the hero was very good, it could almost temporarily push an actor to the front line.

It is normal for an actor not to want to be famous.

But Tang An didn't say anything, and he had nothing to say.
