After the Spring Festival, the film market is probably the most deserted industry, and it can compete with the September school season for the best off-season.
However, the market is now unprecedentedly prosperous, and there are large subsidies from online ticket purchasing platforms. You can basically watch a movie for more than ten yuan. After the Spring Festival, the market is still hot.
In early March, "Zootopia" sold 1.6 billion. This is not the first time that a Hollywood animated film has become a hit. Since ten years ago, animated films have been a hit every year.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" will be released at the end of the month. As the two most famous superheroes in the country, it exceeded 100 million on the first day, but its reputation is average.
In fact, due to cultural differences, the perception of Hollywood superhero movies is different between domestic audiences and Milijian audiences.
Marvel has been in America for a long time and has countless fans and supporters. These blockbusters are not just simple popcorn movies, they have become cultural symbols of the United States.
There are also many Americans in China who have popularized science about "Avengers" and superheroes. The general idea is that if you can't understand Marvel, you can't understand Milikian.
But for domestic audiences, what they want to see is just a collision between two superheroes.
However, anyone who knows Superman and Batman knows that their fighting abilities are not on the same level at all.
Therefore, three weaknesses were arranged for Superman, kryptonite, girlfriend and mother, and all three weaknesses were exploited once, and there was a drama of Batman vs. Superman.
And because the two characters are known by everyone to be good guys, it would be awkward for two good guys to fight, so the director made Batman a headstrong person who covers the sky with one hand, abuses lynching, and does not distinguish between good and bad.
It exceeded 100 million on the first day, and the total box office was just 600 million.
However, domestic films did not seize the opportunity of the downturn in Hollywood blockbusters. "My Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk" released at the same time was adapted from the TV series of the same name.
Actually, it's not an adaptation, it's just that the TV series and the movie were shot together and released three months apart.
The model of online drama + movie uses the popularity of online dramas to drive the popularity of movies.
The TV series has a pretty good reputation, and you can tell from the name that it is a youth film.
Youth movies are easy to make, and TV dramas are easy to tell stories. I can tell any story clearly in more than 20 episodes.
But the movie was criticized.
Of course, there is no abortion in this youth film.
But how can I put it this way? At first glance, the title of this film is about brotherhood, but the entire film only lasts for a little more than ten minutes with four brothers in a dormitory sharing the same frame.
However, Chen Xiao and Qin Lan's relationship between master and apprentice in the office lasted for nearly half an hour, and the other three people fell in love and broke up separately.
It doesn’t matter if the text is wrong. At worst, the audience will automatically change the title to "Love Sleeping on My Upper Bunk".
But the relationship between master and apprentice in the office was extremely awkward. Qin Lan, who had always rejected Chen Xiao's pursuit, saw a childhood photo of Chen Xiao and found that she appeared in the photo by coincidence.
So he said with a look of infatuation: "I know, I can't escape you."
The next thing they love is that the company does not allow office romance, so Qin Lan decided to resign in order not to delay Chen Xiao's work.
But after Qin Lan resigned, Chen Xiao also felt that he loved this job, but loved Qin Lan even more, so he resigned to sell insurance.
So, on the street, Qin Lan, who drives a luxury car, and Chen Xiao, who sells insurance, eat xiaolongbao on the roadside.
Of course, there is still a sense of brotherhood in the film. Li Xian was fired because of a fight and he suspected Chen Xiao of being a snitch. The relationship between the two was tense. Then, after Li Xian was beaten by a wealthy man who was his adopted ex-girlfriend, Chen Xiao happened to pass by and helped him.
He got into a fight and the two reconciled.
So who informed the secret in the end?
The two of them saw that they were outnumbered. At this moment, the other two brothers appeared out of nowhere and brought a large number of people with them.
After the fight, Li Xian, who was hit on the back of the head by a wine bottle, didn't even need to go to the hospital, didn't even need disinfection or bandaging, and went up to the rooftop with his brothers to drink and smoke and talk about "what will we be like in ten years?"
.
There is no need to talk. If you don’t cherish life, you should die in less than ten years.
The love scenes are too deliberate, and the brotherhood is forced to be coincidental and sensational.
There are many others who have been criticized. In order to enhance the atmosphere, they often play songs and slow motion, and it rains all the time. It is a heavy rain that can make people get wet in one second.
Even though there is a web drama with a good reputation, the movie version with many flaws has only just exceeded 100 million after the movie version exceeded 25 million on the first day.
There are more and more youth movies, and there is also "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", which exceeded 100 million in the first three days of the weekend, and the total box office was only 180 million.
They are all just defrauding money from the first three or four days of the weekend. Anyway, the cost is low, and you can still make money by defrauding someone a few days ago.
"Dream Partner", which is an imitation of "Chinese Partner", and "Phantom of the Palace", a sister of "Beijing No. 81", there are many movies that are gaining popularity.
A bunch of demons are dancing around, there are a lot of bad movies, any one of them can sell for one or two hundred million
It's already May. After more than two months of discussions, Li Qian, the chief planner, chief producer, chief director, and the General Administration have discussed the content of the three gift films.
"My Motherland and Me" has a total of seven units, including the founding ceremony, the atomic bomb test, the resumption of the college entrance examination, the women's volleyball team's championship, the return of Hong Kong, the Capital Olympics, and the 2019 National Day military parade.
It started with the first grand opening ceremony of the founding of New China and ended with the seventh 70th anniversary military parade.
In fact, half of them were mentioned in "Rejuvenation", but fortunately it was just a brief mention and there would be no repetition.
And "The Loveliest Person" does not have 7 units, Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Zhang Taofang, Air Force combat hero Wang Hai, Navy mine squad leader Lin Youcheng, and a nurse from a field hospital.
There are six units in total, which is actually a bit too much. After all, the story of each unit of "My Motherland and Me" is different, but the six units of "The Loveliest Person" are too similar. Basically, they are all in the same place.
Scenes on the battlefield.
However, there is nothing you can do about the options above.
As for the other film to film a local battle alone, the General Administration also decided to film the Battle of Jincheng, the last battle to resist the Japanese aggression and aid Korea.
After the Battle of Jincheng, it was almost over. There was an armistice and it was a great victory. There was nothing wrong with shooting this.
Li Qian knew about some large-scale battles to resist the Japanese aggression and aid Korea before filming "Rejuvenation", and he still knew about the Battle of Jincheng.
That was already 53 years ago. The two sides reached an agreement on the issue of prisoners of war during the armistice negotiations. At this point, all the agenda items of the armistice negotiations have been reached, and the work of recalibrating the military demarcation line has been basically completed.
Just when the negotiating parties were about to sign an armistice agreement, Nan Bang actually forcibly detained more than 20,000 prisoners of the North Bang People's Army in the name of "release on the spot" and claimed that Nan Bang was prepared to continue the fight unilaterally in an attempt to undermine the armistice.
of realization.
In order to achieve a stable and reliable armistice, the Zhiyuan Army postponed the signing of the armistice agreement. It was necessary to deal a major blow to Nanbang to make them recognize the reality.
So the Zhiyuan Army took the Nanbang Army in the area south of Jincheng as its main attack target, launched the Battle of Jincheng, and severely attacked the Nanbang Army to ensure the smooth implementation of the armistice and the implementation of the armistice agreement.
In this battle, the Zhiyuan Army annihilated more than 53,000 enemy troops, crippled 4 Nanbang divisions, and recovered more than 160 square kilometers of positions.
Speaking of which, the movie "King Kong River" in my memory was also filmed with the Battle of Jincheng as the background, but it was not based on the battle itself.
That picture shows the soldiers of the Zhiyuan Army rushing to Jincheng as soon as possible to participate in the last major battle. If they fail to arrive in time, the impact on the battle situation can be imagined.
At that time, the soldiers had to pass through a river called the Konggang River before they could continue to Jincheng. The engineer company built a wooden bridge for the soldiers to pass.
However, the American army also knew that as long as it prevented the Zhiyuan Army from passing through the Konggang River, it would have a greater advantage in the Battle of Jincheng, so it was equipped with howitzers, time-delay bombs, incendiary bombs and bombers with multiple bullets, and fighter jets continued to bomb the wooden bridge.
with our soldiers.
What surprised the American army was that every time the bridge was blown up, our soldiers could repair the wooden bridge in just a few hours.
A fierce battle began around the Kumgang River and a wooden bridge on the river.
The US army is bombing and our army wants to cross the bridge. This is the main contradiction.
However, the filming of "King Kong River" was really bad. First of all, the narrative style was abnormal, and secondly, the two big countries were made to look like fools.
He hacked the Zhiyuan Army and also hacked the Mi Army.
Regardless of whether it was the Zhiyuan Army or the Mi Army, as long as it was like what was filmed in the movie, the Battle of Beibang would not have lasted that long.
A bridge is repaired by bombing during the day, and then repaired by bombing. At night, the repair is continued with a light and two steps. Tell the enemy clearly that I am repairing the bridge, and you should hurry up and blow it up.
Knowing that there had been several bombings during the day, the American army could not have known that night was the perfect opportunity to repair the bridge, so they did not take any other measures but sent a drunken cowboy over.
Our anti-aircraft gunners were exposed and did not change their positions. They smoked and roasted corn on the spot, waiting for the enemy to attack.
Our troops were covered by long-range artillery fire, and the company commander rode his beloved white horse for fear that the shrapnel would not reach it.
This director must like Wu Baige, he is a white pigeon and he is a white horse.
The American army was also stupid. After a round of salvo fire, the location of the artillery position was exposed, and they just waited to be wiped out by our Katyusha regiment.
Of course, Li Qian was not sure about the maneuverability of the American artillery in that era.
Let's just say that the bridge and the ferry were exposed, and the bridge decks that had to be repaired were neatly crossed, and the Chishui River and Jinsha River were passed in vain.
To cross the Kumgang River in a real way, many fake anti-aircraft gun positions were set up on the surrounding hills, and fake bridges were set up near the real bridge to disrupt the enemy's sight.
The American offensive was far from as simple as in the movie. 24 bombers flew back and forth for two hours, and only two holes in the seven-hole bridge were bombed.
Our army also repeatedly dealt with the American army, with fake positions and fake bridges emerging one after another.
In the movie, for a river crossing of this scale, there are neither scouts nor advance teams to establish forward positions, nor air security posts, so that the control and detection range of the entire force does not exceed 100 meters from the beach, and every time it is an enemy aircraft.
When it flew overhead, everyone got into a mess and hid in place.
This was not the case even in the era of the Yin Army. During the Yin Army era, there were many river-crossing battles, many of which were very beautiful, such as Sidu Chishui, Qiangwu River, Dadu River, Jinsha River, and Jialing River.
In several battles, the Yin Army's advance troops advanced several miles or even dozens of miles deep. General Chen Geng once marched 240 miles across the river in one day. Regardless of fatigue, he had to move forward to seize the high ground and repel the enemy.
Counterattack.
On the contrary, when he arrived at the Zhiyuan Army, he would only be bombed on the spot, and the longer he lived, the more he returned.
There are no fake positions, fake bridges, or air defense bunkers. In the movie, the Zhiyuan Army's anti-air defense on the river beach is basically undefended.
As long as these are in place, the losses caused by enemy artillery and bombing will be greatly reduced. The infantry preparing to cross the river will not be hidden in the anti-slope position, but will be directly exposed to the firepower of the enemy's 155 howitzers.
Of course, 99% of war movies don’t have these things, which is normal.
However, when covering the division-level unit crossing the river, the firepower was only two 37mm anti-aircraft guns and only a few dozen rounds of artillery shells. The director really regarded our army as an army of beggars.
At that time, the firepower of our army was greatly enhanced, and the comparison with the artillery of the American army was 1.7:1, so the artillery was dominant.
In the Battle of Jincheng in the later stages of the war, our army's ability to attack difficult targets directly dispelled the illusions of the American army.
The director probably didn't understand the strength of the Zhiyuan Army. He thought, as everyone else said, that it was still the era of millets and rifles, so it would be good to give them two anti-aircraft guns instead of rifles.
However, given the anti-aircraft guns, there must be no shortage of ammunition.
For the 37mm Gowser, it takes an average of 900 rounds to shoot down an enemy aircraft.
Two cannons and dozens of shells. I don’t know if they look down on our army’s logistics or overestimate the strength of our gunners.
However, it is certain that one does not understand the Zhiyuan Army, does not understand the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and sincerely despises the Zhiyuan Army.
The movie "King Kong River" does not have the wit and bravery of our army, it is just a foolhardy act that leads to death.
It can be said that the entire movie did not show the excellent combat qualities of the Zhiyuan Army at all. This is a well-equipped, well-trained, and experienced revolutionary army, and it is the pinnacle of light infantry.
But in the movie, it looks like an old warlord armed force.
The director doesn’t know who he is, but his only understanding of our military is that we are not afraid of death and don’t care about our lives. In a few highlight moments, he displayed the same personal heroism as that of American cowboys in the Western United States.
If you watch the movie from the enemy's perspective, the movie shows the personal heroism of Hill, a US Marine Corps carrier-based aircraft pilot. He overcame the pain of the sacrifice of his comrades and destroyed two enemy air defense positions with just one aircraft.
After completing the mission, he took the initiative to force takeoff and work overtime, guiding the incendiary bombs of the bombers of his brothers to hit the enemy halfway across the river, causing a large number of casualties to the active forces on both sides of the Kumgang River waiting to cross the river.
However, he was secretly attacked by anti-aircraft artillery while covering the bombing of a bomber, and eventually died heroically.
It's so touching. It's completely possible to make a movie based on this pilot Hill alone, with the main theme.
Culture and spirit are the two most important points for a movie with the main theme. I don’t know how this kind of movie can pass the censorship.
However, this time, as the chief planner, chief producer, and chief director, Li Qian will not interfere too much in the filming, but he will certainly not let anyone mess around.
To put it bluntly, he holds three "chief" titles and is also the person with the biggest name in the three movies. If something goes wrong, the audience's first reaction will be Li Qian's problem, and they cannot take the blame.
