Open. Personally, I have never been interested in the so-called large-scale movies, but this "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" is quite observable. The story comes from Taiwan, the protagonist in the film is based on real people, the director is Hong Kong's Huang Jingfu, the public memory of his works, the more well-known should be the two kings of the "Jianghu", the cast is mainly Taiwan, the actor Ruan Jingtian. What's more interesting is that in recent years, in Hong Kong movies, the "overkill" and "madness" that seem to have disappeared have appeared in this Taiwanese movie, but with a soft "Taiwanese accent". There is a wonderful sense of convergence and dislocation. In terms of scenes and rhythm, it is actually not as crisp as Hong Kong films, but it highlights "extremely evil". However, this is not the focus of this article.
The path of the movie "Eliminate the Three Evils Around the World" is interesting. It was first released in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and only after a few months did it enter mainland theaters. Whether it is Taiwan or Hong Kong, the box office is mediocre, and the reputation is not necessarily very prominent, but the landing in mainland theaters for the first time shows a menacing image in the name of large-scale and extremely evil. On the first day, the film was scheduled in single digits, and the box office score was nearly 20%, and then the next day's film schedule rose sharply, and the box office trend also increased from 20.9 billion climbed to 35.9 billion, the real-time pre-sale on the next day has surpassed "Flying Life 2", *box office**, and has reached the top of the daily crown, and even the "Article 20" with a strong reputation may not be an opponent. The final box office data will fall at this time, of course, it is difficult to predict. But at this moment, it has already shown the image of a big explosion.
It actually brings revelations. In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about "subject matter and moderation". Many people attribute the film's unsatisfactory reputation and box office to "being censored", and the usual remark is, this is not allowed to be filmed, that is not allowed to be filmed, it is deleted here, and it is deleted there. Is it or not? Of course, it is difficult for ordinary movie fans to really figure it out. But in fact, since the development of the Chinese film industry, the so-called scale restrictions may not be as exaggerated as some "speculative" remarks, at least speaking, the unsatisfactory performance of the film should not be blamed for the subject matter being restricted and "reviewed". For example, this "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" is a proof. Auditing may not be so "stingy".
Look at it from another angle. If this movie is the main creative lineup in Hong Kong, will it be more powerful or more powerful, whether it is an action scene or a plot twist? This is, of course, just a hypothesis. But at this point, it does raise another question, Hong Kong actors are indeed old. is an actor of the right age and can be called a big name, and only one Nicholas Tse remains. suddenly remembered a previous Hong Kong film "Breaking Point", a large investment of 200 million, directed by Lin Chaoxian, starring the veteran Hong Kong star Zhang Jiahui and the new generation of William Chan, the box office was almost less than 100 million, and soon after a "Angry Tide", starring Zhang Jiahui and Taiwanese actors Ruan Jingtian and Wang Dalu, the box office broke through 200 million. and then to this "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week", with a very low initial film scheduling rate, it easily broke through the "post-Spring Festival trap", and even ignored the "top three" in the Spring Festival stalls. Then take a look at "Mr. Red Carpet" with Ning Hao in charge and Andy Lau in the single core, and you can also go back to the previous "Sneaking", "Goldfinger" and "Temporary Robbery". These movies can almost be described as the elite of the Hong Kong film industry. But which movie is not suppressed by mainland movies and unable to move, but instead struggles? Question?
In fact, this "Removing the Three Evils Everywhere" is not impeccable. As mentioned above, when the Hong Kong-style "over-the-top" and "crazy", with the soft "Taiwan accent", I personally feel that it is actually quite weird, and even has a sense of dislocation. But it has leveraged the market and the audience. As for Hong Kong films, you may need to reflect on what the fundamental reasons are. The actor is old, which is only one of the problems. The polishing of the script and details, the in-depth thinking and the presentation of the spiritual level, in terms of these elements, after "Wushuang", which Hong Kong film can really do it? That's all there is to it.
