Just a few days ago, I said the exaggerated "Zhou Xingchi" three words in the poster of "Journey to the West", and today I ushered in the premiere of "Ferryman".
As of 5:20 p.m. today, the real-time box office of "The Ferryman" has been recorded at 46 million, accounting for more than 50% of today's box office.
From the perspective of the promotion of the film, in addition to the star actors such as Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu, Eason Chan, and Angelababy, I am afraid that the biggest selling point is the big "Wong Kar Wai" three words on the poster.
This is the same as the previously hotly discussed "Journey to the West", which can also be seen in the posters of the two parts.
Both films put the "least important person" in the most prominent position.
Chow Sing-chi and Wong Kar-wai can be said to be the feelings of the film industry, aside from "The Ferryman" and "Journey to the West", the rest of the works of the two are also mostly word-of-mouth works, but "The Ferryman" was neatly labeled as a "bad film" when it was released, and the three big words of "Wong Kar-wai" in the poster did not appear in the Douban movie list.
On the one hand, the ignorant audience is tricked into entering the theater, on the other hand, the film is plot-oriented... Nothing to say, it's not a movie at all!
When it comes to the narration in the movie, we will think of "Sunny Day", we will think of "Beijing Meets Seattle 2", and every time we listen to the voice of the narrator, we will be a little unfinished, and this time "The Ferryman" also played the narration... Two hours of movies, an hour and a half of chicken soup narration ask you if you are afraid!
In this "film", not only Liang Chaowei, but all the actors in this film are written with great embarrassment.
Therefore, the Douban score has declined all the way, from 4.5 points in the morning to 3.7 points now, the praise rate of three to five stars is only 25.6%, the proportion of one-star bad reviews is as high as 57.5%, and the bad reviews continue to appear. According to netizens, the film actually had a rating of only 3.3 at the beginning, and it was "brushed" to 4.8 in a few hours, and it is difficult to explain if there is no water army.
In the morning, the Douban score of "Ferryman" was 4.5
In just a few hours, it dropped straight to 3.7 in the afternoon
So using Wong Kar-wai's name as a propaganda, is Wong Kar-wai a director?
Then it is necessary for Xiaobian to list the directorial works of the Sunglasses King: "Spring Breaks", "Chongqing Forest", "East Evil and West Poison", "Ah Fei Zheng Biography", "Fancy Years", "Midnight Blue Poison", "Fallen Angel", "Generation Grandmaster", "Blueberry Night", "Carmen in Mong Kok", "2046"... Wong Kar-wai's films, even the title of a movie like 2046, must be 4 figures.
The director of the film is named Zhang Jiajia, who is the original author of "Passing Through Your World". At the same time, he also served as the screenwriter of "Passing Through Your World" and "Ferryman", in short, he was a novelist.
Today's domestic market is really a flood of writers, and a well-known and unknown mess is a movie.
Wong Kar-wai's participation in the supervising production of "The Ferryman" and the participation of Star Ye in "Journey to the West" may be a reason.
But in fact, we can see the importance of Wong Kar-wai in the production of the film, otherwise how can Zhang Jiajia, as the first shoot, invite so many big names at the same time?
It is said that the film was filmed for a long time, and even suffered a "remake" in the middle, and Zhang Jiajia changed the script hundreds of times for this purpose.
However, this does not prevent the fact that the film is a bad film.
Could it be that Wong Kar-wai's level is also regressing like some old directors?
I hope that Xu Laowei of the "Journey to the West" on the first day of the Chinese New Year can be taken seriously, and do not follow in the footsteps of "The Ferryman", even if Xingye is only a producer, it is still what we are looking forward to.
And from "The Ferryman", it can be seen that the impact of the director's level on the actors is really very large.
