At present, there are only a few giants left in Hong Kong films. And every time their new movie is released, it will arouse saliva, especially Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Aaron Kwok. From the past year's "Cold War", "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights the White Bone Spirit" to "Macau Fengyun 3" and "Wushuang", from "Anti-Drug 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown", "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" to "Bloody Choir" and "Secret Visitor", from "When the Wind Rises Again", "Off the Internet", "Anti-Drug 3: The End of the World", to "Sneak", "Goldfinger", "Temporary Robbery" and "Mr. Red Carpet". The list is not exhaustive. The scuffle among fans never stops. The new war, around "Mr. Red Carpet", is in full swing.
I came across such a remark. A netizen named "Li Siwan Kneeling Huashen" said, "Andy Lau releases 5 movies a year, which is the worst "Mr. Red Carpet", which is also higher than Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung's "When the Wind Rises Again", just say that Aaron Kwok has no box office appeal, you are still not convinced." There is no doubt that this person is a fan of Andy Lau. Regarding "When the Wind Rises Again", it has already been analyzed. The crux of the commercial box office failure of this film is not in the genre, but in the imbalance of the director's ability and mentality. As for the appeal, let's summarize it at the end. Judging from the current box office trend, although there is the withdrawal of "Let's Shake the Sun Together", it is difficult to say whether the released film schedule will be tilted to "Mr. Red Carpet". Because from the perspective of movie popularity, ratings, and word-of-mouth, "Mr. Red Carpet" has an extremely weak ability to attract audiences. Therefore, its final box office is still difficult to be optimistic. And the remarks of this "Li 40,000 kneeling gods" naturally provoked a counterattack. Surprisingly, the fierce counterattackers were not Aaron Kwok fans.
A Jacky Cheung fan stepped forward. His screen name is not very elegant, called "How does the princess pick her nose", I have seen it many times in the comment area, and there is a rational side, he replied, "People are released on the fifteenth day of the first month, those who go to work go to work, those who go to school, and the Spring Festival file of "Mr. Red Carpet" on the first day of the first month. At this time, a small supporting role came, Andy Lau supported "unicorns and Trojan horses". His counterattack was weak and negligible. But at this time, the two movies "When the Wind Rises Again" and "Detective Pu Songling" were pulled out, as well as the concept of a "literary film". It seems that this "unicorn and Trojan horse" said that in the past, contemptible people said that "When the Wind Rises Again" is a literary film. In fact, "When the Wind Rises Again" is really a literary film, and its film genre is clearly written, it is "crime, biography", from the lens imagery, character design to the plot development, it is accurately shown this. But this is not the reason for the box office "servant street", so I won't go into details. So, is "Mr. Red Carpet" a literary film?
Flip through the details of "Mr. Red Carpet". What does it mean when the genre note is "drama, comedy"? In essence, this "Mr. Red Carpet" is indeed going for a literary film. It's just that "literature and art" is not easy to do, and it is not easy to achieve it through the design of the bridge section or the embellishment of golden lines, especially the technique of "elegant and vulgar", which is even more difficult. When all parties are unable to cooperate, it is likely to turn into a noisy farce. In fact, the movie title "Mr. Red Carpet", many people may not understand what it means. To put it simply, Ning Hao wants a concept of "elegance and vulgarity", and he intends to use a cheesy title to "package" such a complex core about human nature, life, industry, ridicule and black humor. Frankly speaking, with such a theme and original intention, if you really do this movie well, the future is limitless. But this thing requires a lot of things to cooperate, the extraction of ideas, the polishing of the plot, the consideration of the performance and the trade-offs in editing, etc., it is even in simple terms, and the audience can easily "listen to the strings and know the elegant meaning", and there will be no "too profound, so the audience can't understand it" and so on. So at the moment, the results are far less than expected. But the audience is not to blame.
There is also a city fan who participates in the battle. It's called "My World," and he says "the red carpet has become the biggest joke of the spring." Not really, but it makes sense. This is an excellent interpretation of Confucius's saying "repay grievances with straightforwardness". Having said that, Andy Lau didn't offend any of his fans, but Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung didn't either. So it's impossible, only Aaron Kwok and Tony Leung "deserve" to accept the ridicule and firepower of Andy Lau's supporters, while Andy Lau can laugh and stay out of the matter. At this time, a Andy Lau supporter replied, and he said it well, "What about the joke?" I didn't see it, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. "But please don't double standardize. And what should we see? Aaron Kwok has "When the Wind Rises Again" and "Disconnected" The box office is unsatisfactory, but he also has the highlights of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", "Cold War", "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights White Bone Spirit", "Cold War 2" and "Wushuang". Andy Lau has the collapse of "Future Police", "I Know a Woman's Heart" and "Mr. Red Carpet", but he also has high-grossing works such as "Infernal Affairs", "Anti-Drug 2: Showdown between Heaven and Earth" and "Bomb Disposal Expert 2". Therefore, any "superstar" actually has a bang, who should be ridiculed by you? This time you mocked others, will they laugh at you next time, should they laugh at you, and why are you so angry?
There is still a lot of talk on the Internet. I'm not interested in listing them all. For example, there are still people who have this attitude, they don't even watch movies, they stamp other people's movies as "bad movies" when they open their mouths, and they also say that they are rational fans. He is, of course, Andy Lau's supporter. Interesting? If the world can solve problems with one mouth. What are you still fighting for, and what are you still worried about? Fans are fighting all over the Internet, and the above remarks are just a quote. And rationality and not double standards are the real correct attitudes. That's all there is to it.
