Chapter 370: Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?(1/2)
The premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" ended, and the premiere of "Flowers of War" also ended at about this time.
Although we still have to wait a few hours for the first day's box office, the first batch of feedback from moviegoers has already come out.
Many of the first fans to watch the movie couldn't wait to express their thoughts on the Internet.
The first is "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
"It's very shocking. This movie has done everything that a movie can do. What's left is that this era won't make it better. In the great changes of the times that we have just experienced, there are countless such little people who are in the torrent of times.
They are struggling to survive, while trying not to lose their souls. Finally, there is such a movie that allows us to see the times, see goodwill, and see hope. I hope this movie can also be treated well by this era."
"I burst into tears because of the sentence "Who doesn't have a patient yet?" and lamented that life is hopeless in the face of "poor disease". I feel that China finally has our own powerful reality-themed movie!"
"I love Zhou Guo's performance the most, almost all the tears were given to him! Because he saw the hope of life with the birth of his son, he longed to live, but in the end, he also wanted to relieve the burden on his wife and children.
, to give them hope for the future, so they chose to commit suicide. The smile at the end was so distressing to see!"
"There was "Garland Under the Mountain" before, and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" later. You are indeed a bad director, awesome!"
"The directors of "Garland Under the Mountain" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are getting more and more stupid. I cry like a dog every time. But I don't know why I cried so much when I watched it, but I couldn't bear it after watching it.
I couldn’t stop laughing!”
"It may not be good enough, but for the current Chinese film market, it's damn good."
"One of your actions may change someone else's life. The bartender has fallen in love with pole dancing ever since."
Um? It seems like something inappropriate has been mixed in?
The first batch of movie fans who walked into the theater to watch the movie almost gave "I'm Not the God of Medicine" a zero-negative review!
The scores given by the first batch of fans are also frighteningly high. The score of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is as high as 9.5. Of course, this score must be quite high. After all, the first batch of fans must be Li Yi's loyal fans.
, their evaluations will still have filters.
But such a score is still surprising and inexplicable.
On the other hand, "Flowers of War" is a bit surprising. The score is not particularly high, only 8.4 points. Of course, this score is not high compared to "I am not the God of Medicine"!
The movie reviews are more interesting.
It can be said that it is polarizing, and people who like it praise this movie.
"As one of the four famous directors, director Li Zhanshan's colors and pictures are as intoxicating as ever. "Flowers of War" tells the history of blood and tears from another angle. Although there are slight flaws, the flaws cannot be concealed!"
"Although "Flowers of War" is not as sharp as "Wreaths Under the Mountain", it is still a rare and good film."
"The war is more of a background. The film emphasizes the warmth in the cold, or the return of humanity in despair. Unfortunately, I always feel that the story advances too slowly and is very depressing, and the emotions are not released. It lacks the propulsion of the plot.
, it will feel boring after watching it for a long time. However, there are some slow-motion freehand processing that is very good."
For those who don't like this movie, the most negative reviews are not the plot or the actors, but the language and meaty scenes!
"Am I the only one who thinks the biggest problem with this movie is the language? What's puzzling is that this seems to be a movie with a Chinese background, right?
However, more than half of the dialogues are in English. We have learned English for so many years in vain. Look at the people in this film, all of whom speak English very well, whether they are women who live in the world, or ordinary people who survive, or even more nonsense.
Even the traitors from the island country speak fluent English.”
"After what the person above said, I finally understand why I feel like something is wrong. It really is!"
"Let me go, at that time I could speak English so well, but how could I live in poverty? That's such nonsense!"
"Don't talk about that era, even in our era, if you speak English so well, then you are at least top-notch in heaven and earth, right?"
"Students, prostitutes, traitors, all of them have at least CET-8 or above in spoken English. Therefore, I felt very inferior after reading it. It seems that my CET-4 English skills are all scum!"
"This movie should be called "On the importance of speaking English in war", or "Learn English well so you can survive in war"!"
As a result, all screenings ended on the first day.
The score of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still 9.4 points, only dropping 0.1 points, while "Flower of War" has dropped 0.3 points, leaving only 8.1 points!
The most negative review below is the language of "Flowers of War", with more than 60% of the dialogue being in English!
In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are too many English dialogues, but the problem is that this movie is set in China, and most of the characters in it are Chinese. However, the movie gives all Chinese people the buff of “being able to speak English.”
This is a bit embarrassing.
In fact, another reason why the ratings dropped so quickly is that at the premiere, when asked why the English dialogues of "Flowers of War" took up so much space, Zhang Changnian said: "You can't see it that way, why don't you want to
Think about the English version of "Flowers of War", where the same 40% is Chinese dialogue?"
But his statement was counterproductive.
Not only that, a previously released trailer for "Flowers of War" actually excerpted an exciting (harmony) scene from the film.
This has also been criticized by countless movie fans.
Zhang Changnian was also a little panicked when he saw the nearly zero negative reviews for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and the mixed reviews for "Flowers of War."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially when the first day's box office results were released, Zhang Changnian couldn't sit still.
Because the film schedules of "I'm Not a Medicine God" and "Flowers of War" are almost the same, the box office is the most direct proof.
On the first day of release, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" accounted for 42% of the film schedule, the attendance rate exceeded 20%, and the box office share was as high as 61%!
It earned 168 million at the box office on the first day!
On the other hand, "Flowers of War" accounted for 43% of the film schedule on the first day of release, but its attendance rate was far lower than "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and its box office was only 86 million!
The box office gap between the two is almost double, which is very telling when the films are in the same schedule.
What made Zhang Changnian even more angry was the media reports the next day.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" can almost be said to be a blast.
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" received 168 million votes on its premiere day. Between laughter and tears, the movie became reality!" - Jingnan Morning Post
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" premiered to great reviews: It's been a long time since there's been such a good Chinese reality-themed movie!" - Penguin Entertainment
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" - Who says you're not a hero if you don't stand in the light?" - "Film Weekly"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" grossed 168 million at the box office on its first day of release, and a super hit realist movie was born!" - "Southern Weekend"
However, the media reports on "Flowers of War" were obviously biased.
"More than 60% of the English dialogue in "Flowers of War" has been questioned: Is English spoken all over the world?" - Beijing News
"The premiere box office of "Flowers of War" was not as good as "I'm Not a Medicine God". Too much English dialogue may be the biggest drawback!" - Penguin Entertainment.
"The trailer for "Flowers of War"'s romantic gimmick was questioned by fans, and the box office was not good on the first day!" - "Contemporary Film Circle"!
Of course, this is not to say that this is all the case. In fact, it is normal for the media to be biased. After all, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" did win the box office championship, and Li Yi has always had a good relationship with the media.
In contrast, Zhang Changnian's relationship with the media is not just bad.
Every time Li Zhanshan's movie is released and the media reports some negative news, Zhang Changnian is the first to refute it.
Coupled with the big mouth that has been open for many years, it can be said that he has offended everyone he can offend over the years.
Therefore, this is actually the reserved program of the media. Unless there is no choice in the same period, their reports will definitely be biased.
The score of "Flower of War" exceeds 8 points. In fact, overall, Li Zhanshan's strength is still there. But the problem is that Li Zhanshan has been relatively low-key over the years, but he can't stand up to having a bad teammate like Zhang Changnian. See
Heaven and earth offend people.
So, very quickly, the stars and directors of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" began to carry the movie in fancy sedans.
They all recommended the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" on their official WeChat accounts.
On the other hand, for "Flowers of War", apart from the main creative members, very few people took the initiative to help promote and recommend it.
Even many actors and stars who were popularized by Li Zhanshan in his early years remained silent in response.
In fact, there is a reason for this, because Zhang has been quarreling with people for many years, not just his competitors, he has gone crazy and even quarreled with his own people.
For example, he once publicly criticized the veteran Hong Kong actor Yang Ye by name, saying that he acted like a big name and did not cooperate with publicity.
He also named Chen Wen, saying that Chen Wen graduated from the directing department but became an actor, so he likes to get involved in directing work. He said that he is not professional at all, and even said that if he could decide the actor, he would never choose Chen Wen.
Problem actor!
As for the director, he named a lot of people, and many of them were shot even while lying down, such as Li Yi!
Therefore, one can imagine how bad his reputation is in the circle!
Then there are the film critics.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still getting rave reviews here.
Du Xianghai, Li Chui, sounded the first horn of the film review war!
His title borrowed from a lyric in "The Lonely Warrior": "Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?"
"Cheng Yong, I believe many people would never have imagined that such a person would become the 'God of Medicine' when they read Cheng Yong's background introduction!
If you say that Cheng Yong in the early days was a complete loser, I believe no one would disagree, right?
His ex-wife divorced due to unbearable domestic violence, and his only son will live abroad with his mother. He has no skills and has to make a living by selling Indian sacred oil. As a result, the business is deserted and even the rent has become a problem.
He was not only a loser, but also an unlucky guy. When he was in a state of despair, his old father was diagnosed with a hemangioma and required surgery.
So he began a desperate career of smuggling Asan Grenin to make money. He said: Life is money!
