Sometimes, I'd rather believe that people who claim that "I was moved to tears by this film" are internet trolls than that the feelings of ordinary audiences have flooded to this point, indiscriminately. However, it turns out that there are still many audiences with flooded feelings. What they have in common is that they watched fewer movies, experienced the craze of Hong Kong gambling films in the 80s and 90s, and perhaps only watched popular topic movies. By walking into the cinema and giving praise, we express our collective nostalgia for that era.
The first and second parts of the "Macau Storm" series, in terms of production and drama, are at least a Hong Kong-made comedy film with a bad plot and follows the routine. If its box office had not increased exponentially, it might have been classified as Wang Jing's films that have left the slightest impression on people in a flash. Innocent and blameless.
However, with the soaring box office, by the time of the third film, the level of its embodiment can not even be called a movie.
I tried to recount the storyline of "Macau Storm 3": Shi Yijian, played by Chow Yun Fat, participated in his daughter's wedding after being hypnotized and ended up with a robot disguised as Andy Lau who ran to the wedding and blew himself up. After being bombed, Shi Yijian became crazy, was caught in the prison and met Big Guy B, took the prisoners to sing a song and was attacked by a group of mech fighters sent by Jacky Cheung, and finally rescued by the real Andy Lau to the loft-style home. Jacky Cheung went to the door to play table tennis and left. Before going about Shi Yijian went to his own gambling boat to fight the landlord. In the end, Shi Yijian took four 8s and blew up Uncle Bird, but was drugged by Jacky Cheung. After waking up, I found that my favorite Liu Jialing was wrapped in a spherical sponge made of light-emitting diodes by Jacky Cheung. Jacky Cheung swore to Liu Jialing that he would kill Zhou Runfa in person, so he really decided to kill him in person without hesitation, but he was killed by Liu Jialing, who suddenly woke up. When he died, he sang BGM!
But after all, this is a movie - even if it is the so-called Hong Kong nonsense, in the end, it is the product of such a choreographer who opens his mind. Sorry, I guarantee that my one-and-a-half-year-old niece can be the first screenwriter for Wang Jing in three years.
Nonsense is not brainless, such a plot, why suck up more than 400 million gold in three days?
I'll try to analyze it:
Since its release, "Macau Storm 3" has maintained more than 30% in Cantonese-speaking areas and more than 35% in Guangzhou, far exceeding the national average of 27%.
Is the taste of cantonese-speaking audiences different from those of other cities? Or is its dialect version for regional distributions a little more interesting? Perhaps such a situation is not ruled out.
In addition, more than 80% of the 620 million box office of 620 million yuan in the first day of the New Year was contributed by the audiences in second- and third-tier cities, and this group has a strong discernment about the quality of the film, and the choice of information access channels is enough. However, movie-watching experience and aesthetic ability still need to be cultivated.
It is precisely because during the Spring Festival, the floating population of second- and third-tier cities returned to their hometowns to drive more elderly audiences who do not usually enter the cinema to participate in the movie, and this special national schedule has preserved the living space of bad films such as "Macau Storm 3" for three years.
