Entertainment has rewritten the movie viewing article from ** senior editor: The movie "The Three Teams" won a whopping 9With an excellent score of 5 points, the box office has exceeded 70 million in just the first three days of the screening and pre-sale period, showing a strong explosive force.
Director Chen Sicheng lives up to his name, he not only showed new ideas in police films, but also created a new paradigm of suspense films. Compared with traditional Hong Kong police films, "The Three Teams" presents a unique Chinese era story, with a compact overall plot and no lengthy paragraphs.
The performances of starring Zhang Yi, Zhang Zixian, Wang Xiao, Wei Chen, Cao Bingkun and others were wonderful, presenting the audience with a work without urine spots. Producer Chen Sicheng is well versed in the psychology of Chinese audiences and is good at storytelling, so "The Three Teams" is likely to become the most anticipated domestic police film in 2023, with an expected box office of more than 2 billion yuan.
Therefore, it's not that the audience doesn't like ** police movies, it's just that they are tired of Hong Kong police and gangster films that lack innovation. As for Hong Kong director Lin Chaoxian, he was not willing to fail, so he tried to get involved in Hong Kong police films.
Lin Chaoxian's films such as "Operation Red Sea", "Operation Mekong" and "Watergate Bridge" directed in the mainland are of high quality and have reached new highs at the box office.
Perhaps it is the accumulation of this series of 100 million-level box office results that Lin Chaoxian decided to challenge Hong Kong police films, so he joined hands with actor Zhang Jiahui to launch the latest Hong Kong film "Breaking Point".
This Hong Kong police film has three box office guarantees such as Lin Chaoxian, Cheung Ka-fai and Bona, coupled with the joining of the much-talked-about Mesozoic actor William Chan, his first foray into the film industry immediately attracted a large number of fans' expectations. Therefore, this film has attracted much attention and the box office prospects are also quite promising.......
Unfortunately, judging from the box office performance of the premiere and first week, "Breaking Point" not only cannot reach the box office results of any of Lin Chaoxian's previous films, but also has a tendency to retreat. The box office of the premiere of "Breaking Point" was 12.96 million, which was only ranked after the domestic films released in the same period, and it had already failed at the start.
To make matters worse, as time went on, the daily box office rate of "Breaking Point" dropped rapidly, falling directly from fifth place to the bottom, and despite the increase in the number of films, the box office revenue declined, which is really unpredictable.
The start was a failure, the box office in the first week was only 51.68 million, and "Breaking Point", which is expected to be difficult to break through 100 million at the box office, actually showed an unexpected failure!Considering the marketing efforts of the early films, as well as the strong lineup and box office base, such a performance is really puzzling.
Judging from the box office situation of "Breaking Point" in the past few days, I have to admit that the era of Hong Kong police and gangster films is over, and even the joining of Lin Chaoxian is difficult to reverse the decline. As for whether "Breaking Point" is unsatisfactory, it may not be the case. The film "Breaking Point" won 66 ratings, average reviews.
However, CCTV's six princesses have a very high evaluation of the film!The Six Princesses called "Breaking Point" a hardcore call in today's film review: the ultimate experience!Literally, she has a very high rating of the film, fully affirming how good it is. In terms of visual effects, the scale of the film is large enough and shocking.
As a work supervised by Director Lin, the film must have amazing scenes. Director Lin has always been good at stimulating action genre films, and this time he also presented action scenes with a hot atmosphere, with violent and bloody shots emerging in endlessly, and the bursting scenes are undoubtedly a highlight of the film and a guarantee for the box office. The performances of the actors are also excellent.
The powerful actor Zhang Jiahui showed his solid acting skills and showed a sense of realism in the fight scenes.
And what is surprising is William Chan, his subtle performance is very good, showing excellent acting skills, William Chan has been constantly improving, is a down-to-earth and professional actor, worthy of praise!As for the plot, although there are bright spots, there are no breakthroughs.
The film shows the touching father-son relationship, expresses the repetition of human nature from the perspective of fate, and seems to have taken another step forward in showing the evil of human nature. Although the world is full of malice, the sentence "family is the most important" said by the villain Han Yang before his death still warmly explains the theme of the film.
However, the box office performance of "Breaking Point" failed to meet expectations, and it was somewhat mediocre and unsatisfactory. Maybe this is the status quo of Hong Kong films, most films are not sensational, and it feels like that's the case after watching too much, although the actors' performances are impeccable, but it is easy to make people aesthetically fatigued.
Most of the time it's fist-to-flesh fights, and the visuals are impeccable. It's a pity that there is a lack of innovation in the plot, which is also the most common complaint among netizens, either old-fashioned or lacking freshness. However, viewers who go to see the cool spots and actors in the film should not be disappointed.
Regardless of the final box office performance of "Breaking Point", it has already won the recognition of the audience and even the official **. William Chan has proven himself that he is an excellent actor with a promising future, great shaping potential, full of positive energy, and a spirit of hard work. [*On the Internet].
