Year after year, another year has passed, the Spring Festival has passed, and the prelude to the film decisive battle of the Spring Festival file has also begun.
The current results are Jia Ling's partner Zhang Xiaofei's work "Hot and Hot", which surpasses the first day of Riguan's work starring Shen Teng and Han Han's "Flying Life 2", followed by "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space", which has a large IP value and is aimed at the children's market.
I thought that the 24-year "Spring Festival Champion" would "fight it out" in the old pair of Shen Teng and Jia Ling, but ......It seems that in the Spring Festival file in 2024, there is still the existence of "forgotten": "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Lei Jiayin and Ma Li.
This can be described as an "unexpected surprise".
Because before the Spring Festival works were released, almost all of them were: "Lao Mouzi" Zhang Yimou was humiliating himself, and the Spring Festival files in 24 years would inevitably hit the streets.
The reason is also very simple: the works taken by Zhang Yimou in the past two years are of high and low levels, which makes people feel uneasy and takes time to precipitate.
In addition, Ma Li's reputation has almost completely collapsed in recent years, and she is a proper "bad movie king". Lei Jiayin's acting skills have nothing to say, but when it comes to box office appeal, Lei Jiayin is inferior to Shen Teng.
However, it is such a combination of "bad movie actors" + "incomprehensible" directors who have made a surprising work: "Article 20".
In fact, before "Article 20" was released, it was also incomprehensible: why is this drama called "Article 20"? What kind of lofty literature is Lao Mouzi engaged in?
But after reading it, I understand that the so-called "Article 20" is "Article 20 of the Criminal Law", if you still don't understand it, the simpler popular science is: "legitimate defense".
Knowing the meaning of "Article 20", you may still not be able to understand Lao Mouzi, because "legitimate defense", which involves the law, will give people a sense of depression, and it seems that it is not suitable for the Spring Festival.
But ......These doubts, after watching the movie, all collapsed.
Article 20 is the biggest "dark horse" of the Spring Festival stalls in 2024.
Zhang Yimou has changed the "tall" in the past, and the argument of the whole work is "small person", family and life, which is popularly described as: "Article 20", which is very life-like.
In addition, Zhang Yimou is also worthy of his name of "Lao Mouzi", the whole play is very smooth, which makes people watch heartily, and there is no urine point in the whole process.
Whether it is the daily life of life, or the "sense of depression" of the relevant legal part, or some small "jokes" set up to cater to the Spring Festival stalls, they can be perfectly clamped, and will not give the audience any "sudden turn".
Article 20 is a work that is smooth to the extreme, without any abruptness.
Compared with other works in the Spring Festival file, "Article 20" is really impeccable, and Zhang Yimou really amazed everyone this time.
At present, the word-of-mouth of Article 20 has been released, 7A score of 9 points is infinitely close to 8The "high-quality work" with a score of 0 is the second-highest score among the Spring Festival works, and the only one that can surpass "Article 20" in terms of word-of-mouth is only Shen Teng and Han Han's "Flying Life 2".
Judging from the current wind review, "Article 20" is an upward wind review, because Zhang Yimou broke the world's inherent perception of him, and the acting skills of actors such as Ma Li, Lei Jiayin and Zhao Liying are also very good, and Shen Teng's "Flying Life 2" The reputation is reversed, Han Han has not grown up for so many years, and he is still eating his old book, and Shen Teng's acting skills have not improved, which is a little disappointing.
Under the advantages of one another, "Article 20" is very likely to surpass "Flying Life 2", as for whether it can surpass the far ahead "Hot and Hot", it depends on luck, after all, in terms of hype ability, Zhang Yimou is far inferior to Jia Ling.
But Zhang Yimou's "stability" also gives people a certain degree of confidence in him.
It's been a long time since I've seen a stable work like "Article 20", and there is no abruptness at all, and Lao Mouzi's 20 years of skill are afraid that all of them have been used.
It's a pity that "Article 20" chose the Spring Festival file, where comedy is popular, and this kind of theme is not popular.
This time, it may be difficult to continue to maintain the glory of "Man Jianghong".
