Chapter 559: What is more cruel than the movie is the real history
Four main theme films released during the National Day holiday.
"Awesome! My Motherland" by Li Zhanshan!
"Fire Soldiers" by Lou Zhenglong!
"Phoenix on Fire" by Xue Yibin!
And "War Meridian" by Li Yi!
In fact, from the film schedule, there are four films, "War Meridian" and "Awesome! My Motherland". Because Li Yi and Li Zhanshan are in the spotlight, their appeal is not comparable to that of Lou Zhenglong and Xue Yibin.
Therefore, in terms of film schedule, the first day film schedules of "War Meridian" and "Awesome! My Motherland" both reached about 30%.
These two movies accounted for nearly 60% of the film schedule, and the remaining films of "Fire Heroes" and "Phoenix" accounted for less than 20%.
This year's National Day release is quite interesting, as several movies have pretty good reviews.
On the Popular Film Critics Network, as the number of viewers and ratings of "War Meridian" increased, the rating began to drop to 8.9.
In fact, although many people praise this type of movie, there are also some people who don't have any favorable impressions of Li Yi or this movie.
In particular, Li Yi also publicly criticized movies like "City of Life and Death". There are all kinds of birds in the forest.
Therefore, in the rating area of "City of Life and Death", you will see some ratings that directly give a low score of 1 star.
This is also the reason why the score of this movie dropped directly from over nine points.
Another film by Li Zhanshan was treated similarly to Li Yi's "War Meridian". "Awesome! My Motherland" also received some of the lowest scores.
After the National Day, the score dropped to 7.9!
The remaining "Fire Heroes" and "Phoenix" are relatively good theme films in recent years. Although the ratings are around 7.5, such ratings are already higher than those of previous National Day films.
A lot came out.
But in terms of box office performance.
This year's National Day release, although "War Meridian" is expected by theaters, it is on par with "Awesome! My Motherland", and the film schedule is similar.
But when the box office results were released, everyone was surprised to find that Director Dog was still the same devil.
No matter what time it is, it always makes people tremble.
This year's National Day season, top famous directors like Li Zhanshan are no exception.
The box office of "War Meridian" passed the 200 million mark on its first day of release. During the National Day period, both attendance and box office data led the National Day period.
"Demon Town Museum"
And closely followed by "Awesome! My Motherland" with the same schedule, the box office was only 110 million!
"Fire" and "Phoenix" even received first-day box office of 68 million and 62 million respectively.
Although the national box office output on this year's National Day can be said to have reached a new high, with a total of 450 million, it can also highlight the enthusiasm of people to watch movies in celebration of this year's 70th anniversary.
Especially the enthusiasm for watching movies with the main theme.
However, "War Meridian" came out on top, which was actually somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations.
Because this movie, in his memory, did not achieve particularly good box office results in another world.
However, after reading those movie reviews, Li Yi finally understood that this movie was born at the right time!
"In the early years, when my grandfather was still alive, he told me the story of their past. When my grandfather was 14 years old, he followed the army to serve as a soldier when the Eighth Route Army passed the village entrance. The people in his village followed, and basically no one came back!
When grandpa told me, I was still young and it was difficult to understand why I followed the army when I was only fourteen years old. Later, when I grew up, I learned that during the Battle of Songshan, the G Army recruited 7,000 child soldiers (9-15 years old) to go
He went to the battlefield to fight bloody battles with the Japanese army. After the capture of Songshan, more than 1,000 people were killed in the battle. The youngest was only 9 years old. However, in the eyes of the Japanese army, none of these "fresh" child soldiers were cowards. After the youngest 9-year-old soldier was captured, the Japanese army
In front of the bloody torture officer, the prisoner asked him: "How do you want to die?" The little soldier's eyes widened angrily: "I am already dead, and I will fight the Japanese in the next life!"
Watching "War Meridian" again brought tears to my eyes. People of our time really understand too little about the sacrifices of our ancestors!
We really should make more movies like this and let more children today watch them!"
“I’ve actually seen people say that such movies are too cruel, too dark, and not suitable for children to watch. I really don’t understand that now parents deliberately create a hothouse for film and television dramas for their children, and they watch those films and television works that are aimed at young children, but they don’t
Understand that the flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the ravages of wind and rain. Is over-tension and over-protection really necessary? Moreover, can such a movie make children better understand that today’s living conditions are hard-won?”
"There are all kinds of superheroes everywhere, but they don't understand that the real history is created by ordinary heroes. Compare and look at the superheroes in Europe and the United States, how fake they are. But many of our children watch them every day
We grew up with these fake superheroes, but our real, ordinary heroes have been forgotten!"
"The deep hatred of the nation can never be forgotten, and the history can never be forgotten. We can also never forget that we should let our children watch more movies like this, not the bullshit "City of Life and Death"!"
"Those who say you should give up your hatred of Japan, do you dare to say it again to the people buried under the Golden Scale City?"
"After watching such a movie, we have already broken our defenses, but we forget that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the cruelty of war..."
"The most touching movie I have seen this year! I cried throughout the whole movie. The war was so cruel. The peaceful life now is hard-won. I will always cherish the memory of the martyrs!"
"Mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, but we are irreconcilable!"
Li Yi even felt that the high box office of this movie was related to the fierce controversy caused by "City of Life and Death" some time ago?
After all, if you look at those short film reviews, at least one or two out of ten will use "City of Life and Death" as a negative example.
What makes Li Yi quite gratified is that although there are a small number of voices saying that such a movie is not suitable for today's children to watch, saying that it is too cruel and too desperate.
But there are still many parents who took their children to watch this movie.
Many people even mobilized their whole families to watch this movie together.
When being interviewed by the media and asked this question, their answers were enough to make those who said it was too cruel and desperate and not suitable for today's children blush.
"It's too cruel and too desperate, but it's true! After reading it, my children cried and said to me, Dad, Cao'er, they are so great! I think this is enough! I think they should know this.
!”
"What a sad thing it would be if children forget the history of our own country!"
"You don't let your children watch movies like "War Meridian," but you like to take your children to watch those fake superhero movies. This is the greatest tragedy!"
