In the world of movies, every new release is a wonderful and unknown adventure. Now, we will focus on director Chen Jianbin Chen's latest masterpiece "The Eleventh", which not only brings the audience into a mystery spanning 30 years, but also arouses heated discussions with its unique narrative style and profound philosophical thinking. However, just behind the release of this movie, there is a storm of box office failures.
Movie Air Crash:
The story of "The Eleventh" originated from a tractor accident 30 years ago. The town borrowed a tractor, and Ma Fuli went on the road with his wife and the tractor driver. However, during a dirt slope encounter, the vehicle stalled, the driver got out of the car and pushed the cart, his wife followed behind, and Ma Fuli slammed on the brakes. However, an unpredictable tragedy struck, the wife and the driver were tragically killed, and the two bodies were unbelievably exposed to the sun. The tragedy raises many questions, one of the most concerning is: why did they take off their pants?
Hit the box office:
The movie "The Eleventh" faced the pressure of the box office failure of the previous work "A Spoon", however, Chen Jianbin did not back down. In this new work, he chose the form of suspense shell + play within a play, coupled with the love of powerful actors such as Zhou Xun and Chun Xia, it seems that everything is ready. However, the reality is a big surprise. On the premiere day, the proportion of films scheduled for "The Eleventh" was as high as 204%, but the attendance rate is only 43%, which has caused a serious setback at the box office. In contrast, other films released in the same period achieved more satisfactory results, making "The Eleventh" fall into the box office quagmire.
The director worked hard:
Chen Jianbin has put a lot of effort into this movie, from participating in variety shows to recording short **, and then performing the ending song himself, all of which show his great love for the work. However, these efforts have not been rewarded with audience recognition, and the film's box office has still failed to buck the trend. Faced with this situation, Chen Jianbin even did not hesitate to play the live broadcast and pleaded with the theater manager, hoping to get a better film schedule. This kind of unscrupulous struggle also makes people sigh at the director's hardships for art.
The mysteries of cinema:
The story of "The Eleventh" not only spans 30 years, but also contains many deep philosophical reflections. Ma Fuli is drawn into a long confrontation against the troupe, the truth is corrected and covered up, and the audience gradually discovers the essence of the story in the process of continuous exploration and reinvention. However, this is not a traditional genre film, the story line is not clear, and the main line seems vague. Chen Jianbin tried to express the formation of self-consciousness through film, but this kind of high-threshold story is obviously not suitable for all audiences, making the film's performance on the big screen dismal.
Conclusion:
On the stage of the movie, Chen Jianbin dared to challenge and innovate, but it was this courage that made him pay a heavy price. "The Eleventh" may not have achieved the desired results at the box office, but perhaps over time, the film will usher in a response from the audience for deep thinking. After all, the value of a work of art often takes time to test, and the impact and shock that Chen Jianbin brings may be more recognized at some point in the future.
