""Havoc in Heaven" grossed 500 million in box office in 5 days. Although the box office performance is amazing, it cannot hide the fact that it is a bad movie. Apart from good visual effects, the movie has no merits, the lines are ridiculous, and the plot is overly adapted.
The character setting left the audience speechless!”
""Havoc in Heaven" crosses the distance from an ancient classic of gods and demons to a third-rate fantasy. The various unscrupulous lines in the film ruin a beautiful childhood story."
"Denouncing Zheng Baorui's version of "Havoc in Heaven". Entertainment is also a part of culture. Making money is the first. Second, at least we must have some basic conscience and be worthy of future generations!"
"Why is "Havoc in Heaven" so bad? A group of directors, screenwriters and actors who don't understand Journey to the West or Eastern mythology at all. This is not Journey to the West, this is just a third-rate Western fantasy movie disguised as Journey to the West."
"If we want to make a list of bad movies, then "Havoc in Heaven" will definitely have a place. It made Sun Wukong look like Wu Sangui and became a beauty in anger."
""Havoc in Heaven" did not tell the story well. The storyline was not compact and there were endless cold scenes. These are all due to the director's poor control. There is also the special effects thing. Special effects are for the story, not for the special effects.
Obviously, the director of "Havoc in Heaven" did not understand this. There are some useless scenes in the movie, such as the reappearance of Senior Sister Sun Wukong, and Wukong complimenting others on how beautiful they have become. This group of scenes is completely meaningless. After all, it is the director and the producer.
Do you want to sleep with more actresses, or do you want the producer to force them into the movie?"
"Comprehensive interpretation of how the bad movie "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" was made"
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, "Havoc in Heaven" was knocked out of the top spot at the box office on the first day, and the film's reputation has completely collapsed.
In the past, the attention and box office were so high, but now it is falling harder and jumping more thoroughly. If you open any movie-related website or forum on the Internet, basically 90% of them are negative reviews.
No matter how much money is invested in the cyber army, it cannot equal the number of netizens across the country.
Of course, the one that benefited the most was "The Return of the Great Sage". Both are in the same genre. "The Return of the Great Sage" was also frequently used by the media and netizens to criticize "The Return of the Monkey King", which invisibly promoted the movie.
Both are films of the same genre, and if one of them hits the streets, its potential audience is likely to be diverted.
"The Return of the Great Sage", which has been overshadowed by "The Great Sage", has finally officially become the most dazzling film in the Spring Festival.
In the past few days, three movies have been huge hits, and the other one has actually done quite well, so the attention from both the media and the audience has actually been divided.
But now, the reputation and box office of "Havoc in Heaven" have collapsed, directly pushing "The Return of the Great Sage" to the top.
The popularity of "Where Are We Gone, Dad" and "Omen" is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. The eyes and voices of the entire Internet are focused on "Havoc in Heaven" and "The Return of the Great Sage".
It's just that the two received completely opposite treatment, one was scolded and the other was praised desperately.
""The Return of the Great Sage" reached 360 million in 5 days, reversing the single-day box office of "Havoc in Heaven" and creating a miracle for domestic animation!"
""The Return of the Great Sage" vs. "Havoc in Heaven", which one is the most conscientious domestic work?
"The Return of the Great Sage" has full marks for its oriental mythology characteristics. It promotes Chinese culture, Peking opera, shadow puppets, Taoist culture, and Chinese history. The dragon in it is the most perfect dragon I have ever seen. This dragon draws on traditional Chinese characters.
The dragon totem, when it soars naturally in the sky, I think this dragon expresses the most perfect imagination in the hearts of all Chinese people, peaceful, beautiful and galloping. However, "Havoc in Heaven" has made a good oriental mythology story into a film
Nondescript western fantasy movie”
"Strongly amusing "The Return of the Great Sage", the special effects are much better than "The Great Sage", every picture is like a painting, any screenshot can be used as wallpaper."
"It's time for our monkeys to amaze the world. Five hundred years have passed since the Ming Dynasty. The monkey in the storybook has been sung for five hundred years. We have been moved by him for generations. Since the pre-Qin Dynasty for thousands of years, the monkey in the Classic of Mountains and Seas has
The Hundred Ghosts Mountains and Rivers have influenced the entire Asian continent, but how many people still recognize Chaos Taotie Qiongqi Tao Tao today?
It’s time, it’s time for our story to amaze everyone and make people marvel!”
Of course, there are also some discordant voices, and some people complain that "The Return of the Great Sage" is plagiarized.
""The Return of the Great Sage" is rubbish. Just know that it copied Japanese anime. The dragon copied the dragon from "Spirited Away". The boss also copied the faceless man and the transformed big bug from "Spirited Away".
It’s exactly the same as in Spirited Away.”
However, as soon as such comments came out, they were immediately flooded by netizens.
"Is the poster stupid? He copied "Spirited Away". Go and see what the dragons on the murals in the Forbidden City look like. Is it possible that the craftsmen who carved the murals all traveled through time? If you can't go to the Forbidden City, Baidu
Search, do you know how to type the words "Dragon in the Forbidden City Mural"? If you don't know how to type, ask your Chinese teacher!"
"As for the faceless man, he draws on Peking Opera facial makeup. In Peking Opera, the white mask represents the sinister and cunning character. The demonic patterns on the face and the robe are carefully designed, not just a few random strokes."
"There is also Chaos, the image after transformation. One of the four ferocious beasts in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the image of a giant insect with many legs and forty-nine rows of sharp teeth was designed based on the original text of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Classic of Miracles"
, there is a Ming Dynasty woodcut version that is very similar to the image in the movie.
As for plagiarizing "Spirited Away", the Japanese people at that time personally admitted that they borrowed from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and why didn't they say that "Spirited Away" plagiarized "Xiao Qian"?"
"Not only that, but even the soundtrack at the beginning was plagiarized from "Kung Fu". I could tell it as soon as I heard it!"
"Hey kid, that's "The Order of the General", and it's not original to "Kung Fu". "Tathagata Divine Palm" and "East and West" have also used it. Why don't you say "Kung Fu" plagiarized it?
Also, does the poster know anything about music? Do you know what kind of drums are used in the soundtrack of the film? Do you know whether the music when Jiang Liu'er appears is clarinet or oboe? Don't just compare yourself without knowing anything!"
"I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to say plagiarism or not. I saw an idiot in the forum before and actually said that the chaos setting plagiarized "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" of Japan. How come "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is Japan's? I'm really haha
You look like this! You don’t want anything belonging to your ancestors! Go back and study the profound and profound culture of ancient China, and then come and talk to me, okay?”
"Finally a good domestic film was released, but there were a lot of trolls. I didn't even look at Hollywood and Japan. How many things did Korea copy from us? Then the genius Hollywood director Quentin is famous for plagiarism.
He copied the characters, the costumes, the plot, the soundtrack, and even the titles of the films. There was no one he didn't copy.
Even he himself said it himself: In every movie I make, I copy a little bit here, a little bit there, and then mix them together. If you don’t like it, the audience doesn’t have to watch it. I’m just plagiarizing plot points everywhere! Great.
Artists always steal scenes, it's a steal, it's not a fucking homage."
There are so many people kneeling down to lick it, but when it comes to China, they are trying their best to blackmail anything similar!"
Although some negative comments came out, under the public's saliva, there was not even a splash.
This is the case in China. For films of average quality, except for loyal fans, they will not work hard to protect them.
But if it is really a good movie, the energy that the audience will unleash is enough to rival a billion-level publicity.
Future excellent movies such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", and "The Wandering Earth" will all be like this. Even if they are criticized by some people because they are too high at the box office and too positive, there will still be a large number of viewers to defend these movies.
Movie.
This is a lovely audience!
The Spring Festival holiday is still two or three days away, and "The Return of the Great Sage" has come from behind, which is beyond the expectations of most people.
China Film and Xinghao were also disrupted and had to use all subsequent publicity resources, investing tens of millions of funds and resources, and did not care about the future. They first restored the current momentum.
The effect is still somewhat effective, at least the positive comments and news about "Havoc in Heaven" will not be completely drowned out.
Bernard and Guangxian also made a decision quickly. At this time, they didn't mind a push from behind.
There are only so many films in the schedule. If you want to increase the film schedule for your own movie, you can only divide the film schedule of others.
Nowadays, the reputation and box office of "Havoc in Heaven" have collapsed, and it occupies the largest number of scheduled films. These scheduled films are the goals of Wang Changtian and Yu Dong.
The previous publicity for "Havoc in Heaven" was able to suppress some of the negative reviews. Even if they tried to do negative marketing, it would not have much effect, or they would have to invest heavily.
But now, it's just a matter of following the current, and it doesn't cost much.
As for offending China Film Group, they didn't care at all. Yu Dong was originally from Han Sanping, and as Guangxian was the second largest private media group in the country, Wang Changtian was not afraid of trouble.
Besides, this is just normal business competition, and it’s not over the line.
And there is so much negative news that China Film Group has no way to find it.
Both companies have invested a certain amount of effort, and the situation is getting worse.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the film schedule of "The Return of the Great Sage" increased by 27%, and the single-day box office exceeded 100 million for the first time, reaching 111 million!
On the other hand, "Havoc in Heaven" only received 61 million, a gap of nearly double.
A huge reversal occurred during the Spring Festival, with "The Return of the Great Sage" earning 473 million in six days.
"Havoc in Heaven" 564 million in six days, the gap between the two sides is less than 90 million. Judging from the current situation, this gap will be closed sooner or later.
In the large conference room of China Film Co., Ltd., Kang Pei sat at the top of the table with a gloomy face.
The Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, and "Havoc in Heaven" is about to lose its title as the Spring Festival champion. How could Kang Pei still have the time to rest? He directly called all the management of the three major departments of publicity, public relations, and distribution back to the company to work overtime.
"Mr. Zhang, the six major theater chains must ensure that "Havoc in Heaven" has enough film schedules!"
Kangpei did not go to see Lin Sheng, the deputy general manager in charge of distribution, but directly ordered the distribution director.
Lin Sheng didn't say anything, just sat there and watched with a pensive expression.
Nowadays, publicity and public relations are no longer of much use. The only hope is to maintain sufficient film schedules. As long as "The Return of the Great Sage" does not have enough film schedules, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Not enough, but the distribution director reported bad news.
"Director Kang, this year's film schedule for "The Return of the Great Sage" will probably increase to nearly 30%. There is still "Frozen" to be released, which will occupy a certain amount of the film schedule."
