Following the BGM of Sister Northeast Yu, another **song on the whole network appeared. Come and play the guitar pose and sing with me: "Once I was dazed on the road in the middle of the night, the breeze stung the soul and couldn't find the direction I should be".
The movie that produced this song can be described as another batch of dark horses for Chinese films after the Spring Festival
"Eliminate the Three Evils Everywhere". There are no big actors, no hot topics to discuss, and it's not even a new film (it was released in Taiwan last October), but it has swept the Spring Festival blockbusters in the past few days. The box office reached 1 in 4 days after its release5.8 billion, the current single-day box office has climbed to the top of the list, making netizens recall the charm of Ruan Jingtian.
How many people have heard the rumor that "because of the large scale, the release copy will be temporarily changed after the screening", so they walked into the cinema. But fortunately, this time I didn't fall into the trap of mismatching. At present, "Removing the Three Evils Everywhere" has been beaten to 82 high scores, high praise comments are all:"The scale is really big, can it be put on the big screen? ”(Note: This article contains some spoilers!! Friends who mind can "bookmark" it first and read it after watching the movie. )
The scale is large, and it does not all rely on sprinkling plasmaEven if you haven't watched the original film, you have probably already swiped this famous auditorium scene on social platforms - Ruan Jingtian shot one by one with a blank face and plasma spray at a room of spiritual believers. The believers were smiling and singing the gentle song "The New Man", adding 10,000 points of weirdness to the violent scene. In terms of visual impact, it is indeed a rare large-scale in today's cinemas.
Another thing that is discussed under the "scale" is the ** scene in the movie.
The heroine Xiaomei, whose mother was imprisoned for her stepfather's crimes, and she was manipulated and abused by her stepfather.
But the reason why "this ** can enter the cinema" is particularly shocking is not only because of these details. is the protagonist played by Ruan Jingtian, which cannot be measured by the secular concept of good and evil. In the past two years, mainland suspense films have also often filmed villain protagonists and crazy protagonists.
But their "evil" is usually meant to reflect a certain social phenomenon, and eventually they wake up and be punished. They all play the same function in the plot: "negative teaching materials".
Chen Guilin, played by Ruan Jingtian, is a self-consistent villain. Evil without remorse, crazy without logic. When he appeared, he was a high-spirited gangster who helped his gang's eldest brother collect accounts, and he could directly blow up the entire casino with a grenade.
Shot the gangster at the funeral, and blinded the policeman in one eye, and finally managed to escape from the scene of the crime. Running and whistling in the streets, it doesn't look like you've just killed someone, but like you've won first place in some kind of competition.
* After the case, Chen Guilin was wanted for four years. His hair grew long, his beard was unkempt, he looked like a mature man, and he was terminally ill. According to this momentum, the next thing should be that he suddenly woke up and decided to use his residual heat to get rid of the rest of the wicked people to atone for his sins. As a result, Chen Guilin decided to rank himself on the list of villains.
He went to the police station to turn himself in, thinking that as a killer with human life, he would be tightly controlled immediately. Who knew that the young policeman didn't know himself at all, but was pushed aside to line up to register. I found that I was only ranked third on the wanted list, and I was torn off half of it. How does this work? To be a bad guy is to be a bad guy who will go down in history!
Many people will use the word "crisp and neat" when evaluating "Removing the Three Evils Around the World". Because I found that in the process of watching the movie, my brain really followed the plot completely. There is no need to think about what kind of realistic emotions are poked by the A setting, whether the B character will cause a ** scolding war, and whether the C details will mislead the audience. Anyway, there are too many outrageous characters and plots, and I can't think about it. Now let's go back to the previous "auditorium**", the real large-scale scale is not only about how high the plasma concentration is. It's itIt does not fully follow the narrative path of "justice triumphs over **".
His Holiness at the spiritual center was revealed to be a fugitive and was still making a final argument about his murder when he was confronted with gunpoint. "A natural disaster, a **, how many people will die. Have you ever complained about God? Do you complain about the ground? ”
According to common sense, the next step must be the protagonist's loud mouth cannon to make the other party speechless. Finally, kill the boss to uphold justice and rescue other people who were **. But Chen Guilin directly played the game of "I'll shoot nine times in a row to see if you die", focusing on a fight against violence with violence. Don't bother to talk about what is right and wrong, shut up quickly. As for the believers who saw the death of the leader of the organization, but were still obsessed, he did not do more persuasion and hesitation. Shoot them directly one by one and send them to a physical ascension. In such pure "evil", it seems pedantic and ridiculous to ponder whether Chen Guilin's ** defenseless people are reasonable, whether these believers are not guilty to death, and whether the protagonist's ** style of "justice" is reasonable. "I just want to say that I haven't seen such a pure villain image for a long time, so cruel and so likely. ”
has been deceived so many times by "large-scale" publicityThis time it's realObjectively speaking, the plot of "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" is not without problems. In addition to the plagiarism controversy recently, the inexplicable sympathy between the police and the criminals, and Chen Guilin's motives for deciding to turn himself in, are all far-fetched. As for his ability to lift the lid of the coffin and kill all sides after he was stabbed in the abdomen and buried alive overnight, it basically belongs to the field of science fiction films. But at least it's a film that can be discussed—and that's a few streets away from its peers, after all, many movies don't even make people want to talk about it. The term "large-scale" has actually been heard by the audience in recent years. At the end of last year, "Wading through the Sea of Anger" directly wrote "It is recommended that the audience under the age of eighteen be cautious**" on the poster.
When it was announced, the left one "highlighted the evil of human nature", and the right one "adapted from a realistic story". It's just that if you watch more, you will find that these "scales" basically stay on posters and short ** clips. Yes in the promotional videoEvilSpirit Knight, one look at the feature film is the baby bus. "All or Nothing" with the theme of electric fraud, the clip that went viral on social platforms is Wang Chuanjun worshipping Buddha;
You think it's going to shoot how the scammer leader is demagoguery, but it turns out that Wang Chuanjun is not even a second male in it.
When "Disappearing Him" was announced, it used Southeast Asia** and deformed shows to attract attention. As a result, the beauties and psychiatrists are all actors, and there is only one villain in the whole movie.
Wading through the Sea of Wrath", the story is set in the low-level father who has lost his daughter, and confronts the rich mother who shields the murderer's child; You think it's a story of people at the bottom who resist injustice through violence, but it turns out that people tell me that my father loves me again. Later, the audience was deceived. Last year, there was a movie with the theme of "rich people violating girls", and it was screenshotted out to promote an unspoken drama of Yuan Hong in the hotel.
It looks quite daring to shoot, but the audience has developed a wolf mentality.
It's like buying instant noodles from the supermarket, everyone is used to the patterns on the packaging bag for reference only.
Until "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" brought a plate of hand-rolled noodles with vegetables, meat and seafood, which was much richer than the packaging bag.
After watching the movie, I curiously searched for the movie's promotion account on the short ** platform, and immediately understood why it didn't have a spark before.
The "small beauty and big strong" flavor of this publicity copy is too familiar.
There is a stream of "the protagonist's acting skills are explosive" - Ruan Jingtian truly performed the execution of a death row prisoner, and performed 7 emotions in 5 seconds;
There is a warning stream that reveals the secret of the ** organizational routine - "their interlocking methods make people's backs chill";
There's also an easy stream that keeps up with the hot spots
However, no matter how fancy, in the eyes of today's audience, it is just another instant noodle producer. Until someone who has seen it is willing to shout: No, this is a serious street noodle restaurant. The chef doesn't have a lot of cooking skills, but at least the ingredients are special. Especially in the wicked may not necessarily be brought to justice, but may also be transformed into a "venerable" who gains fame and fortune, and eventually be eliminated by the more evil.
The protagonist's punishment of evil and promotion of good is not necessarily out of the maintenance of justice, and it may not necessarily be "stopped at the point".
Chen Guilin voluntarily surrendered after the auditorium, sat in front of the police car and raised his hands, shouting to all the reporters at the scene: "My name is Chen Guilin!" ”
This is a "large scale" that cannot be conveyed by any short ** publicity. When the movie "Pre-made Dishes",Meet the "fresh stir-fry"."Removing the Three Evils Around the World" is not worthy of 82 points? You will find this question difficult to answer.
Because taking stock of the movies of the past few years, there is not even a coordinate system to compare with it.
Nowadays, there are probably two kinds of mainstream Chinese-language movies with good box office, one is the adaptation of foreign unpopular IP, or the recreation of classical masterpieces, such as "Manslaughter", "Fengshen", etc.
The other is the so-called hot search movie, or short ** movie-As long as you find a hotly discussed social issue, or a common divisor of a certain public sentiment, the story only needs to be roughly rounded.
It's not that this kind of filming can only be a bad movie.
Just like "Wading Through the Sea of Anger" poked at many young people who have a strained relationship with their parents, "The annual meeting can't be stopped! It also made many migrant workers feel good in the cinema.
It's just that these topics have been chewed up by social platforms early in the morning, and even netizens have quarreled for several rounds.
After a few months or even a few years, it was put on the big screen again, and it was filmed as a novelty, and it was inevitable that there would be a sense of boredom of sauerkraut and white meat filling the Northeast bistrol. (I didn't mean that sauerkraut white meat was bad.) )
I don't know if you have a time when you are doing something else while watching TV, it doesn't matter what the plot plays, just to listen to it. Nowadays, movies seem to be becoming "atmosphere group" type of mass entertainment rather than cultural products. The creators "create on the theme".
As long as you find a topic that has been hotly discussed on the Internet, and invite a few actors with a good reputation, you can save up a "large-scale realism**".
It's like doing a math problem, the formula and the steps to solve the problem have been determined, and the difference is only to see whether the number brought in by the main creator this time is 2 or 3. The audience watched the movie "in a resonant way".
What movie I watch depends on whether the topic of the movie is relevant to me.
After watching "The Annual Meeting, I Can't Stop!" "Scolding the leader, the young man who consciously pleases the personality is looking for strength in "Hot and Hot".
Before entering the cinema, I knew what I would get in the past 2 hours, the chairman must be a good person, and Jia Ling will definitely reject Lei Jiayin after success. No one expects to see anything new, out of the ordinary, and unusually easy to categorize by a few labels. But we all know that movies are never just like that. "Eliminate the Three Evils Everywhere". It's like in a mall where everyone sells pre-made dishes, and suddenly a plate of fried meat with chili is served. Maybe it's too salty and almost hot, but at least it's fresh out of the pan and has a burnt flavor.
Now you ask everyone, why do you blow a plate of ordinary stir-fry to such a mysterious height? "Because I'm really hungry, I can eat everything. ”
