After the first part of "Dou Po" was unsuccessful, the leading actors of the sequel were absent from publicity, Ma Boqian was afraid?

6 films have been released one after another, and it is inevitable that people will question whether they are trying to make the audience feel tired?

Not long ago, on the 17th, a high-profile film was released on the Internet.

Claimed to be "the first film version of "Breaking the Sky", starring Zhang Hanyu, Jiang Wu, Gao Shuguang, Hu Jing, and Xiao Yan is the high-profile daughter Ma Boqian.

This is a big online production with a star-studded cast and a high-level production team.

The director of the film is Zhang Yimou's designated cinematographer Zhao Xiaoding, who has participated in the early "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" and in recent years, "On the Cliff", "Sniper" and other films, can be said to be the right-hand man of the industry giants, is the core of the creation.

The producer is the duo of "Sunny Day" and "Evil Does Not Prevail", the art director is Gao Ang of "The Wandering Earth", and the action designer is Yan Hua of "Evil Does Not Prevail".

This lineup can be described as a "fanfare" that has attracted much attention.

From director to producer, from art to action, every link strives for excellence, and the starring group is even stronger, coupled with the original script foundation of "Breaking the Sky".

I thought that this movie would definitely become a bombshell in the online movie industry, right?

Unexpectedly, however, it was not a strong impact that erupted, but a firework in a pit.

The rating is only 35 points, there are 4573 people**, 812% have given a negative review of one or two stars.

Fortunately, this is an online film, and if it is released on the big screen, it will easily be on the list of the top ten worst in 2023, and "Strange Family" will have to stay away from it when it sees it. Prior to this, Dege had already criticized the film by word of mouth. Whether it's the storyline, acting performance, visual effects, or even the casting of actors, this work can hardly be classified as a movie, and even by the standards of a TV series, it can only be regarded as a bad work. The character creation is chaotic, the special effects are poor, and Ma Boqian's expression is even more indescribable, almost like a parody of "Journey to the West".

I used to think that this bad movie was just a product of a hasty launch. I didn't expect it to be a series!Before the release, director Zhao Xiaoding once told ** proudly that this series will launch 6 movies in a row, and the entire "Breaking the Sky" series will be put on the screen. Unexpectedly, the dross has not been dissipated, which is ridiculous!Then, the first "Awakening" was criticized offline, while the second "Zhige" was quietly released. It's still the same team, it's still the same clumsy style!This "Zhige" was released on the 21st, and the box office share reached 1.09 million in the first two days, although it is barely bad, but with such a production lineup, it may not even be able to pay a supporting role. It is worth noting that compared with the grand publicity offensive of the first "Awakening", this "Zhige" can almost be said to have zero publicity, and relevant hot information cannot be found on major platforms.

What's even more peculiar is that Ma Boqian, who is the protagonist, has not even mentioned this situation on social **, and the latest news about "Breaking the Sky" dates back to November, which is when the first film was released.

The leading actor is so reluctant to promote his movie!

It can be clearly observed that the performance of the first film hit him very hard, and he quickly distanced himself from it.

But it can't be blamed solely on Ma Boqian's choice, for him, the box office profit of millions of movies is not the most important, word of mouth is the key.

The evaluation of "Zhi Ge" is still the same, although the comment area is more lively than the first part, but it still lacks novelty, after all, the work of the same author, how many surprises can it bring?

Of course, objectively speaking, "Zhige" does leave a deeper impression than "Awakening".

In addition to the aforementioned, not only does this series have a strong cast, but director Zhao Xiaoding's ambition is also obvious. Not only does he want to adapt "Breaking the Sky", but also plans to integrate "The Great Juggernaut" and "The Great World" into it, so the plot is completely different from the original book.

Aside from the same character name, there is little in common.

"Zhi Ge" directly inherited the ending of the first part, Xiao Yan began his journey to find Qinglian Earth Heart Fire after defeating the wolf-headed mercenary group.

Under the guidance of Yao Lao, Xiao Yan came to Graphite City, first reminisced with the eldest brother and second brother, and then generously rescued the snake maid "Qing Scale" and helped her regain her freedom.

After Mu Li stumbled on the cliff, he was resurrected by Yunshan and lurked beside Xiao Yan as a slave, always ready to seize the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. The three of them formed a team, and with the assistance of Qing Scale, they almost let Xiao Yan recapture the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. However, the snake queen "Colored Scales" suddenly appeared and took away the alien fire. In order to end the war between humans and the snake people, Xiao Yan entered the territory of the snake people under the guidance of Qing Scale, and happened to encounter the color scales who failed to fuse different fires. Under a series of coincidences, in order to help Cailan, he was actually selected by Qinglian Earth Heart Fire, and he fused on the spot. Subsequently, Xiao Yan and Colorful Scales formed a united front to assist the snake people in defending themselves against the impending human attack. The movie enters the third act, and the human army comes to the city, including Xiao Yan's eldest brother and second brother. Xiao Yan walked to the front line alone to negotiate, but he did not communicate well with his eldest brother and second brother, and a conflict eventually broke out. A misunderstanding between the leaders of the two sides leads to a fierce battle that is about to break out, and the three Xiao Yan brothers strayed into the testing ground of the snake people for the first time, and then managed to escape and engage in a fierce battle with the sand beasts, ultimately stopping the chaos and awakening the desire for peace between the two tribes. In the end, the two sides shook hands and ended the conflict. The second part does have a stronger look and feel than the first. First of all, in this part, there is no Zhang Hanyu's abrupt face, and there is no embarrassment and naïve plot of Xiao Yan's childhood. Different from the background mission of the first part, which emphasized the origin, in this part, Xiao Yan and his party first formed a team in the desert, and then broke the barriers between each other, and finally overcame many difficulties to save the two clans.

The whole film presents a typical adventure style, although it is a bit old-fashioned, but at least it fulfills the basic task of the film. In addition, the desert scenes in the film show excellent production standards. The director claims to have shot on location in Inner Mongolia, but judging by the effect, it may have been shot in a studio, but despite this, the grandeur of the scene is still impressive.

The huge sand dunes and the flying sand add a strong atmosphere to the film, while the real shape and shabby state of the protagonist's costume are also impressive. It must be admitted that this film shows a high level of sincerity.

In terms of script, although the story outline is bland, it belongs to the typical adventure genre film, and there are many striking things in terms of subplots. For example, the character of Danwang Furukawa, who is known for his good looks in the original book, is presented as a bald uncle with a big belly in the film, with almost zero force value, and he also likes to brag.

In a scene where they snatched the fire in the center of the earth in "Green Lotus", Furukawa and Colored Scales coveted strange fires while playing with fun, and were finally set on fire and abandoned like garbage. After leaving the temple, in order to save face, Furukawa spent a lot of money to let Xiao Yan and the three keep it a secret.

However, as the plot progresses, emotions become increasingly agitated, and eventually a blunder causes the wig to fall off, exposing the bare top of his head. Although Furukawa's image has changed drastically, the plot has achieved great results and caused bursts of laughter from the audience.

In addition, the humorist Qing Liang and the old medicine man, who has a soft spot for food and beautiful women, also successfully presented a performance that made people laugh. Overall, the film lives up to audience expectations in terms of storyline and comedic elements, and the time spent ** is still worth it.

However, the performance of the special effects is really disappointing!I have previously criticized the special effects, and it is hard to believe that this work is actually a product of 2023, and its effect seems to be still at the level of graduates.

The inexpensive lighting and lack of depth in the layers make it feel like you've stepped back in time to the days of online games a decade ago. Despite the audience's dissatisfaction with the special effects, the producers seem to have turned a deaf ear to them.

In the publicity, the filmmaker claimed to have used some equipment and technology that had never been used before, and also used virtual shooting technology to create some virtual scenes on the LED ** wall to adapt to the storyline and achieve the so-called "post-production". Despite all the hype, the second part should be more mature.

However, this is the case – the familiar problem of light pollution is back on display. Specifically, the big scene not only directly blurs the main interactive parts, but even the frame drops on the screen, which is unbelievable!

Actually, you have to use special effects with weapons, and the knife actually penetrates!In terms of actors, although there are some excellent performances, there are also some cases where the performance is average.

For positive things, such as the colorful scales and emerald green scales of the snake people. The two actresses are outstanding in appearance and have strong beliefs in their performances. The main thing is that their images perfectly echo the state of the "snake people", and each shows a different beauty. The emerald scales show courage and strength, while the colorful scales show a showy and seductive side, both of which perform quite well.

In addition, Mu Li and Yao Lao's performances are very good, and the aforementioned Guhe cannot be ignored, and Xiao Yan's eldest brother and second brother are even more impressive. The two actors had a very rich role and successfully completed the task.

However, it is a pity that the performance is relatively average. This character is Xiao Yan.

Similar to the previous work, Xiao Yan's expression is exaggerated, his emotions seem inexplicable, and the whole piece of teeth occasionally exposed once again evokes my memories of "Journey to the West".

Finally, I need to mention the group performance. In the key scene of the queen's speech, two expressionless passers-by were selected, and the performances of these two aunts were really incomprehensible. The casting director shouldn't be able to eat a hot meal tonight!

Overall, the second part is an improvement over the first, but it still feels barely satisfying. "Awakening" got 35 points, then "Zhige" is estimated to barely reach 5 points.

It's no wonder that Ma Boqian didn't have too much publicity. At the beginning, I was beaten 3The 5-point movie was ridiculed on the whole network, and there are four movies of the same level in the future. It's not just four films, it's four public shows.

It turns out that no matter how big the cake is, you can't just take it, because you never know how big a mess those seemingly "unprecedented" lineups can end up messing up. - End of full text.
