"Dragon Horse Spirit" was released, I thought that with Jackie Chan sitting in the town, he could fight the invincible hand all over the world.
As a result, the box office in four days was only more than 80 million, which was still when there were weekends.
The next week's working day is probably more difficult to break through.
The Maoyan platform predicts a total box office of 200 million, and Douban has 6.5 points, which is really a slap in the face.
From the former international superstar to today's dismal box office, Jackie Chan tells everyone with facts that when the times abandon you, you won't even say hello.
First, forcibly sensationalized, illogical, beating for the sake of fighting, netizens: a rag with gold edges
Let's not talk about the acting skills of the actors, as far as the script of "Dragon Horse Spirit" is concerned, the score can be passed, and it is already thankful.
In fact, it can be seen from Yang Zi's self-written and directed "Pet" that his ability is really limited.
Six short stories pieced together and stitched together can barely tell the story, and once it takes two hours to tell a complete story, there is no other way than to fill it with water.
It's been a long time since I've seen such an embarrassing but willing to smash a movie for publicity.
"Dragon Horse Spirit" generally talks about two lines, one is Lao Luo and his daughter, and the other is Lao Luo and Ai Ma Chitu.
The latter line extends a tribute to the dragon and tiger martial artist, but it is obvious that both lines of this movie are shallow and fragmented.
The focus of the grasp is not good to say, but the sensationalism that should be brought through is wave after wave.
1. The three actors are seriously mismatched
I really can't think of a trio that doesn't fit better than them.
Liu Haocun and Jackie Chan themselves do not have any characteristics of father and daughter, and even added a Guo Qilin who was born in crosstalk.
The true colors of the eldest brother are naturally very suitable for the role, but whenever Liu Haocun and the eldest brother are on the same screen, there will always be a feeling of drama.
Liu Haocun's acting skills always have a sense of youth with literary and artistic fan, and Jackie Chan's steady martial arts style is stable.
And Guo Qilin, the acting skills will not be commented, all his comedic roles are incompatible in the father-daughter emotional line.
And Guo Qilin and Liu Haocun these two people group CP, director you are really okay.
Every time I see these three people, I have a feeling of forcibly pretending.
They seem to be novel characters from three worlds who have traveled to one dimension, and each actor has to complete the task and disband on the spot according to the plot.
2. Ineffective tribute, forced sensationalism, stuck phlegm uncomfortable
If you want to engage in feelings, you can do it well, sitting on the two action superstars of Jackie Chan and Wu Jing, and making up the script so boring and illogical, this is also an ability.
Even the majority of netizens know where the biggest selling point of "Dragon Horse Spirit" is.
Sensationalism is okay, it is good to engage in feelings, the most important core is the dragon and tiger martial artist spirit that Jackie Chan can best support.
Family affection and spirit, the two most easily empathetic points are written perfunctory.
The father and daughter have just been thicker than water, and the next second they will not share the sky and directly fight, and before they can suddenly return to the old good, continue to be the best in the world.
I was confused, this father and daughter have a very good relationship, and they know how to play with the audience.
For the dragon and tiger martial artists, they all stay on the lips.
Yuanwei asked Lao Luo to pay tribute, and the result was a costume not to mention the use of special effects synthesis, Lao Luo is not a well-known martial arts star, which door is this tribute.
Not only that, Lao Luo was not responsible for the horse at all for filming, and he didn't even want a dress rehearsal, and everyone applauded him for a stand-in and a horse after filming.
Aren't there any normal people in the movie.
Large sections of awkward lines come out of the mouths of actors who don't have much acting skills, and there is no slightest logic to fight for the sake of filming scenes.
Even the villain will be bad and good for a while, and I am sitting in the audience like pins and needles, which is spending money to come to the kindergarten.
How to describe this feeling, or netizens said it more appropriately.
"After watching it, it was as uncomfortable as a lump of phlegm stuck in my throat, and the movie was like a rag with gold rims."
That's right, without the "Phnom Penh" of Jackie Chan's big brother, the whole movie is a rag.
Second, no one buys it after fighting for his old life, Jackie Chan: Filming will not be famous
In order to shoot "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master", Jackie Chan really fought hard.
At an altitude of 120 meters, the 69-year-old said it was up.
Not to mention the protection, just at this height, even if you sit, you have to be scared to the point of weakness.
Jackie Chan wanted to hold the steel cable, step on the supporting steel pole and walk forward, and look at the degree of sweat under it.
After being put down, Jackie Chan's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he felt that the staff was "making a fuss".
If it were someone else, it might have taken a while of publicity, but for Jackie Chan, this is really a piece of cake, and he has not taken it seriously after more than fifty years of acting.
Although it is more than a hundred meters high, it is only walking slowly, at least there is no real damage.
Those who do not have protection are commonplace, gritting their teeth and jumping deeper, even running down in a plane that tends to be vertical.
It was a real fight for life, and there were almost no injuries all over the body.
Even before filming "Ryoma Spirit", he also had 9 injections to block, and he also took a breath after the post-effect faded, without causing any trouble to the staff.
Not only that, but he also helped out on the set like a field choreo.
He couldn't stay at the hotel at all, and here he kept an eye on Wei Ya, helped carry the cushions, and helped a certain assistant director to build a shed there.
There is no sense of violation on the set, really like a little old man looking for work.
At such an age, he still has to go into battle with real knives and guns, busy on the set, but judging from the final result, Jackie Chan should be sad again.
I still remember that when Wu Jing sat on the first throne at the movie box office, Jackie Chan also teased in front of the camera.
"I only raised 20 billion in decades, and his four movies directly exceeded 20 billion."
It sounds a little sour, but it does say Jackie Chan's helplessness.
During the filming of "Dragon Horse Spirit", he also said that the current small fresh meat does not need to be beaten, just be famous.
It's hard not to think of many top players who appear in action scenes, it doesn't matter at all whether they will play or not, all kinds of camera movements plus double speed, will always dazzle the audience, and the most important thing is that someone buys it.
Jackie Chan really did a good job, and this is indeed reflected in "Dragon Horse Spirit".
Although he is a little tired when he is old, his crisp and neat movements and four or two thousand pound moves are all professional.
But to be honest, no matter how good the kung fu is, without a good script to show, it is all for nothing.
Even loyal fans have to say "the film sucks" despite the heartache.
The "moral kidnapping" set is no longer useful to today's audience.
When everyone walked into the theater with anticipation, they were willing to pay for this feeling, but what they received was a mess of plots and fragmentary forced sensationalism.
Deep fans can say that "although the film is rotten", why should ordinary audiences who pay for a bad film pay.
Every word and sentence is as long as there is fame, but the reputation of the so-called "little fresh meat" may not come so easily.
Some acting skills have to go through tearing and fork battles, and those without acting skills are even scolded to the sky.
This cauldron abandoned by the times must not fall on the heads of the audience.
Third, 7 years and 9 bad films, only by respecting the audience can we hold the market
When abandoned by the times, no one will say hello to you, and if you are still obsessed, you can only be "embarrassed" today.
Calling Jackie Chan a "big brother" is because he once relied on his own true hard work, which is admirable.
But the audience is not a big wrong, 9 bad films in seven years, how to be abandoned by the times has not yet counted.
When I watched Jackie Chan's promotional film on the movie channel, I also burst into tears.
Who has no youth memory as Jackie Chan, he has a real kung fu, brave Hollywood when Asian actors are not favored, and directly won the Oscar for lifetime achievement.
It's all real.
But when you see the movies made by Jackie Chan in "Dragon Horse Spirit" flash like a ppt, the so-called love for movies may have changed.
If you really pay tribute to the dragon and tiger martial artist, give back to the audience, and repay your life as a horse, "Dragon Horse Spirit" is not worthy of a moment except for the name of the movie.
The characters are thin, the lines are childish and awkward, the plot is incoherent, and even the cast is finished.
Don't talk about the reason for limited funds, there are many actors in the entertainment industry with low salaries and high cost performance.
What everyone sees in the movie is not Jackie Chan paying tribute to the dragon and tiger martial artist, but he paying tribute to himself, and when I think of the bad films he starred or played in supporting roles in recent years, I really can't empathize.
And the real rotten point of these bad films may not be the "little fresh meat" in his mouth.
Especially the special performance of the father and daughter is deep, and the performance of the two actors is awkward and rusty.
Ignoring his real biological daughter for decades, he showed great love for the virtual characters in the movie.
Is it really not weak-hearted, thinking that the current audience is still so easy to deceive?
Remember that when "Zodiac" was released, Jackie Chan made it clear on the scene that this would be his last action movie.
Indeed, after decades of fighting and killing, the eldest brother has already achieved fame, and he also needs to rest when he is older.
It is precisely this sentence that contrasts sharply with Jackie Chan's answer at the "Dragon Horse Spirit" roadshow scene.
"As long as there is no major damage, you can still make action movies."
How can you still shoot when you are old?
It can also be seen from Jackie Chan's dissatisfaction with the current situation of domestic entertainment in recent years, and today's action scenes have long been less desperate than before, not only do not have to take risks, but even easily get paid.
It can also be seen on the Douban platform that the resources of the eldest brother have even been ranked to 2027, and there will be six in 2024 alone, and Jackie Chan is all starring.
Is this the legendary "revenge" filming?
In my opinion, Jackie Chan's vision of choosing the script is still more than a decade ago.
Nowadays, the aesthetics of the audience have long been different, movie ticket prices have risen, and everyone's requirements for the quality of the film have gradually increased.
Guang envies Wu Jing's four movies of 20 billion, he went bankrupt and desperate to shoot "Wolf Warrior", you didn't fund it.
If you don't make changes, I'm afraid that making a hundred movies won't help.
Big brother, or find someone to check the script again, sometimes the good reputation that you have worked hard to build only needs one work.
Only by respecting the audience can we hold the market, and relying on emotional "moral kidnapping" has long been difficult.
