After Chen Haomin, a new mainland network big brother appeared, he is Xiao Chun Brother, Chen Xiaochun.
Following the "Re-Fighting jianghu" with a Douban score of 3.1 in December last year, xiao Chunge continued to work hard in early April this year to produce a Douban 3.8 point of "Reloaded X-Men".
This movie is also powerful, to reload without reloading, to X-Men without X-Men, but the title of the film is called so, probably because, it sounds domineering, the comments say that Wang Jing is not even good at writing the script now, by the way sigh chen Xiaochun who is brave enough to take over the network.
The result was less than 20 days, and Brother Chun came to "Circle Line" again.
How powerful is this movie, the opening statement is made - "Minors please watch it accompanied by their parents." ”
In addition, there is Chen Xiaochun who is "in a strong mood" and Peng Jingci who is "anxious in the rivers and lakes", which is definitely a ceiling-level configuration of Hong Kong Star for a network university.
As a sci-fi disaster film, the filmmakers don't even need to elaborate a poster for this movie, just set these three to run. Although I don't understand why this beautiful actress who does not have a lot of roles runs more than Peng Jingci, who has the first role, I can't understand it, but how can a B-grade disaster film not have a beautiful little sister.
All in all, it sounds super powerful, and even I want to see how powerful it is.
As a result, the Douban comment area is really quite powerful.
Or, a straightforward one-star bad review.
Or, explain that you are a fan of Koharu to prevent the score of this film from falling below 5 points.
However, in stark contrast to the not-so-good word-of-mouth, it is the traffic that floats red across the board: on the day of the broadcast, it was only five hours, and it easily rushed to the first place in the popularity of the entire network of online movies.
So, how is this domestic disaster blockbuster filmed? Is It worth It to brother Xiao Chun's "subway fighting centipede" fight?
It is a brother, just follow Xiao Chun brother on the "Loop Line" and go through it.
1, into the play, a little difficult
A real blockbuster, often the first picture can make you into the play.
And a bad movie can also make you play in the first picture.
The story of the movie is very simple, that is, the subway fighting centipede.
It tells the story of a group of ordinary people led by Brother Dao (Chen Xiaochun) and Gao Fei (Peng Jingci), who accidentally broke into the underground world due to a subway accident, were hunted and killed by the biochemical centipede giant beast, and worked together to fight the underground giant beast.
At the beginning, it is a flashback, a subway that has fallen underground, and the figure of a monster centipede that flashes by.
Then, as soon as the camera pans, a group of passengers retreats to a place that does not know where, and in the shadows, a large army of centipedes is converging.
In the narrow enclosed space, the conductor is the first to be recruited.
Falling to the ground, struggling, looking miserable, ripping off his clothes, there were animals that looked like centipedes crawling inside him.
You see, the narrow and closed carriages, the crisis that comes at a high speed, the centipede that is speeding forward, the shocking tension, is it being stretched to the extreme?
The problem is that addiction stems from immersive sensory stimulation, provided the story is reasonable.
We don't know, we don't dare to ask, the subway fell to the ground, so many passengers' first reaction, is not to try to pick up the phone for help?
But the passengers in this film seem to have no phones with them.
Well, the passengers probably know the truth that the underground telecommunications line is not passable, but there are subway bells and emergency contact devices in the subway, and in the event of a crisis, should they immediately get in touch with the control room and ask for help? Nor does it.
It seems that at the beginning, a group of people discussed it, we did not ask for help, nor did we sit still, we had to rush out of the siege together and kill a bloody road together. If he had been saved in the first place, how would he have fought the Centipede Spirit?
So there was the next scene.
The overwhelming centipede scurried through the cave. The camera follows the direction of running, unfolding a chase scene between centipedes and people.
If the action scenes are particularly exciting, these slots will be enough.
However, the level of action scenes in the film makes people can't tell whether it is a positive film or a tidbit.
The multitude fought and retreated, running as they stepped on it. Gradually, they were surrounded in a circle.
Obviously, it should be a high-energy cool film, but after watching it, the whole film runs through the dark style, the picture quality has a texture of an old movie of the 80s, and a whole nostalgic sci-fi disaster film is stewed.
Then, finally, the title came out, exactly three minutes.
Usually, the first 3 minutes of the net movie, also known as the golden 3 minutes, will generally show the most powerful side of their movies in this time period. Anyway, centipedes are pretty powerful.
2, this biochemical centipede is made, a bit of an alien taste
Although, these three minutes made my heart a little tight, but for the sake of Brother Xiaochun, I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, or I watched it.
Moreover, it seems that the film side is also going to do big things, the brutal giant centipede, the unpredictable cave, the ring subway that falls into the abyss, the difficult escape road ahead, maybe it will gradually enter a better state, and come out with a refreshing monster blockbuster?
As a result, every second is a famous scene.
The camera returns to an hour ago, not long after Brother Chun appeared, Duang's subway malfunctioned, and suddenly a centipede attacked.
Then, the biochemical centipede appeared handsomely, a mouthful of large yellow teeth, slow motion vs. Little Chun Brother.
But wait, let's not say that this is a little better than the page game, roughly how about the level of special effects in 3D games, to be honest, the mutant centipede is rough, in the network movie also belongs to the middle and upper level, you can also watch.
The point is that, as we all know, the centipede is called a centipede because it has a hard skin and many claws, rather than whistling at the air with its mouth open. The monster that often whistles at the air is called the Alien.
Let's not talk about copyright, the key before watching the alien has an evil, gothic beauty, and then look at this black, thick big centipede, at night will really have nightmares, monster movies will become thrillers.
3. The action scenes will be just looked at
To put it bluntly, "Loop Line" is a smart commercial film that knows how to win the strengths of all the families and can play the routine in the routine.
The film mixes together a variety of elements such as action, monsters, disasters, and adventures, and designs Chen Xiaochun's brave battle against the two-headed mutant centipede, and the crowds of people fighting the mysterious beasts under the ground.
The idea of the filmmakers is that shock and enjoyment must be the only two feelings you have when you watch this film.
But the shock to the audience may come mainly from a variety of familiar action scenes.
For example, this group of shots.
In the centipede-infested carriage, the camera moves and looks around—like our eyes. I can feel that the director is trying to create tension, but I really don't feel nervous.
However, after the less-than-local collective run-the-road action scenes, the audience will also see the same less dramatic breakout action scenes.
In the past movie-watching impression, being besieged by monsters requires lying down and trying to be carefully planned.
Especially think about how to escape the layers of besieged monsters, pass the level, and escape the sky.
But these meticulous layouts are not needed.
Under the leadership of the cool-named knife brother and Goofy in the film, there is only one step in the arrangement for everyone to break through: run forward, meet the cold eyes and ridicule. Ah sorry, it was to meet the centipede and the bigger centipede.
Script killing is not so simple.
The most outrageous thing is that after the subway fell, they ran directly into a long-sealed Japanese underground laboratory.
It's so outrageous that it can stun the subway department.
Well, according to the reason, the unique narrative space and expression method can also make the film extremely watchable, especially in the closed underground cavern, the crowd chases and fights with the biochemical centipede, and the atmosphere is first-class, shouldn't the audience's heart beat faster throughout?
Combined with the multi-angle motion lens and the strong contrast between cold and warm colors, is there a hazy apocalyptic atmosphere?
But the whole movie looks like it is lively and lively, and all elements have appeared, and the picture seems to be familiar. In fact, there is no one.
What bloodthirsty centipede swallows the living, too dark to see clearly.
What wonder woman-like sexy beauty was bitten and mutated into a zombie, I wanted to ask why all this was.
Well, then Brother Dao and Goofy suddenly decided to invite Jun into the urn, introduce a few giant centipedes into the secret room, and set fire to make centipede barbecues.
In the face of the biochemical centipede essence killed by Zhang Ya dance claws, Chen Xiaochun said, "Copy guy", as if for a second to take the audience back to the era of ancient puzzle boys, the combination of jianghu films and science fiction films!
Just ask you if you are surprised, are you surprised?
Unexpectedly, a bigger accident is yet to come. As soon as the centipede was grilled, the largest double-headed centipede appeared, and the first one took Chen Xiaochun (brother knife) to fight the tooth sacrifice...
Ah, it turns out that this evil giant centipede in front of him, his motives for evil, are also for the house centipede. Kill it in the face of fire.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of revelation in the heart of the centipede character, we are finally indifferent to its pain, and we only want to say in our hearts that the so-called group war centipede scene is to a few iron rods and insert the string? Is this a great war biochemical centipede or a centipede on the tip of the tongue?
4, the biggest slot point, or the plot
Although the visual scene is somewhat mixed, it is not only visually shocking. In other aspects of the film, it is even more lackluster.
The biggest problem is that in order to force the creation of "Centipede Wars", almost all the rationality of the plot is sacrificed.
As long as you watch 10 minutes, you can master its routine -
One scene after another, various chase scenes take turns to perform.
And you can clearly see the shadow of many classic movies from it.
Including but not limited to "Alien", "Plague of The Python", "Mummy", "Extreme Deep Cold" and so on.
This kind of stitched film is very characteristic of the net.
It's like using algorithms to create movies based on the audience's viewing habits.
The audience loves to watch beautiful women, but also love to watch monster chase scenes.
Then arrange a few scenes where beautiful women are chased and killed by centipedes.
As for why beautiful women can play so well? Why did the royal sister, who was still frightened just now, be able to skillfully operate the old revolver?
It doesn't matter.
The focus is to show the beauty and skills of the sisters in an all-round way.
Audiences love to watch sensationalism.
So in the second half of the film, the sensational bridges caused by the heroic sacrifices of various characters are densely interspersed.
But I don't know these people at all, people don't recognize them, how you make me move.
Although, the main line of the film follows the classic monster movie playthrough mode - break through, take props, break through again, lose blood (lose teammates), continue to break through...
But the audience wanted to ask the whole time, which is this, who is this, what is the situation?
It seems that there are knife brothers who stand up to save their brothers in times of crisis, there are also strong brothers who died unfortunately to resist the attack of centipedes for their lovers, and there are migrant worker brothers who sacrificed themselves to save others with virtue... But why these people sacrificed themselves to save others is not explained.
You just think that everyone is so fierce that they are not afraid of death.
At the same time, the film wants to express too many things, but it cannot be fully explained, and the preface does not match the afterword, but it can magically make people see the end at a glance.
At the end of the film, the knife brothers sacrificed themselves to be swallowed by the centipede, detonated the grenade in the centipede's stomach, and with an explosion, the centipede was destroyed, and the human fire was continued.
Zhuang is very strong, I have a question, obviously the double-headed centipede is not invincible, casually an iron rod can stab it, the reason why it was not done before because the grenade set up is a dud, the result is that there is a usable one, then why not hurry to throw the grenade to kill it, must be swallowed before detonating it?
And grenades are such things, we all know that the detonation time is very difficult to master, in case it has not been swallowed, the grenade exploded first?
For example, the magical female doctor Royal Sister, first of all, the bullets of the revolver are very magical, and the five bullets have the effect of twenty rounds.
After a hard fight, my sister was swallowed into the stomach by the centipede, I was sad for a while, after all, my sister was still very beautiful, and as a result, my sister crawled out of the fried centipede belly in the end, which was still very beautiful.
Not to mention, why such a large team of centipedes, after so many years underground, what do they eat?
Survival or destruction is a question.
This ending, which has no answer, allows the film to get rid of the simple and crude format of ordinary commercial blockbusters and have a deeper question.
But my most profound question is still: What about Brother Xiaochun? Where's Brother Haruhi?
The answer is: the role of Brother Koharu, the middle way collapsed.
5, Xiao Chun brother is still good, that is, half of the performance received the box lunch
In fact, there is only one reason why I can persist until 70 minutes - Chen Xiaochun.
I have to say that compared with the acting skills and faces of Hong Kong stars such as Chen Haomin, Chen Xiaochun is still very online regardless of body management, acting skills and style.
Even, it still has the style of the year, very stylish, and also created the only lighter laugh point in this film.
As long as he plays, I still think it's pretty good.
And this face also aggregates the youthful feelings of three generations of audiences. It's impossible to refuse.
However, as the actor at the top of the cast list of this film, Brother Xiaochun's experimental knife brother was unfortunately captured by the centipede in order to save his half-brother but brother-like little brother, that is, the one who buried the mine in the finale.
This emotional drama is also very concise, simple and wordless.
At this moment, the old fan burst into tears.
Although I am very touched, I still have to ask, a film under the banner of Chen Xiaochun, let Chen Xiaochun's role be performed to 50 minutes and then sacrificed, who will explain to me why?
At first, I thought that Brother Chun would return in the finale, so I insisted on the ending, and the result was that Brother Chun did not come out again, why is this?
That's where the film's embarrassment lies.
The centipede is not important, the story is not important, and the feelings brought out by Chen Xiaochun are the core. Because what the audience loves to see is the actor himself.
Although there is no Zheng Yijian Lin Xiaofeng Xie Tianhua, there is no chemical reaction between Chen Xiaochun and the characters.
But there is Chen Xiaochun who has a playful taste, which is the starlight of the old Hong Kong star.
The problem is that this starlight disappears before the end.
6. Why is the Netstar starring Hong Kong Always not very good?
Back to the question at the beginning: Although the reputation of the movie has basically collapsed, can it be determined that the movie has pounced?
It depends on how we look at the film.
If you look at it purely from the perspective of the movie, it really doesn't work.
But if it is regarded as a product of the net, then it is successful.
Its goal is not to enter the Douban TOP100 list. Instead, it's a record of the number of viewers.
Those rotten bridge sections and centipede battle scenes that have been complained about have become its means of retaining the audience.
As long as someone is willing to click on it, and see the end, the purpose of this movie has been achieved.
Even if there were viewers, such as me, to wait for The Return of King Chen Xiaochun to see the finale, it still won.
But Chen Xiaochun is actually already a rising star of the Internet movie.
Before him, Qian Xiaohao, Xu Shaoqiang, Xie Tianhua, Luo Dahua, Chen Haomin, and even Ah Jiao, etc., had already occupied half of the online movies.
In this year's Spring Festival, Wang Jing mobilized a group of big-name Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to shoot two films, "The Nine Yang Divine Gong of the Dragon Slaughtering record in the heavens" and "The Sacred Fire and Heroic Wind of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", which caused controversy with 3.5 and 3.8 points respectively, and earned a lot of money.
"Fengshen Shen: Daji" and "Green Snake: Frontier" starring Ah Jiao have won the first place in the popularity of online movies on the whole network again and again, and the audience is distressed while watching: Asa is filming "Goldfinger" with Andy Lau Liang Chaowei, what is Ah Jiao acting? But she also has a big net "Painted Skin" behind her.
The gathering network of Hong Kong stars is large, indicating that the cold winter of Hong Kong films is really getting more and more serious, and it is already lucky to have a work start, but it is still very sad to think about it, and the Hong Kong films that these Hong Kong stars became famous in that year are the answer to the unique Oriental Hollywood of Chinese films under the inclusiveness.
And now they starred in these big nets, only to imitate the Hollywood science fiction blockbuster sense, and abandon the personality, the picture is really difficult to support the blockbuster scene, just have a Chen Xiaochun in three-quarters of the length of the shine what is the use?
However, you said that Hong Kong stars do not cherish the feathers just rotten money, then do not play the network big, what can they play? It seems that there are not many other options.
But looking at those familiar Hong Kong film faces, they have come out again and again to consume the audience's childhood filters on them.
We all know that the Hong Kong film face full of audience feelings should not become a feeling, a memory, and should not become part of the algorithm and data of the internet movie explosion.
After all, filters have a day of expiration sooner or later.
