This year's National Day file Wei Xiang's new film "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is undoubtedly a loss.
As the only comedy film in the schedule, this new film with a somewhat long title has encountered a double cold reception from the audience and the cinema, the audience does not buy it, resulting in low attendance, and the cinema is not optimistic, resulting in the bottom of the ranking.
All this is actually related to the four words of happy twist!
With a loss of more than 170 million, Wei Xiang's new film collapsed at the box office! I sighed: I paid off the debt for the happy twist bad film!
Although there are 12 new films released in this year's National Day file, there are five blockbusters with high attention and high cost, including "Predecessor 4", "Rock Solid", "Volunteers", "Operation Moscow" and "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot".
The box office of "Predecessor 4" broke 91.67 million on the first day.
"Rock Solid" also hit 51.92 million on the first day.
"Volunteers" did not perform as expected, and also won 26.88 million first-day box office.
"Operation Moscow" was released 1 day late, and as of 8 o'clock on September 29, the box office on the first day had broken through 20.21 million, approaching "Predecessor 4"! These four blockbusters are more or less less amazing, but at least they can be watched at the box office.
But "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" can only be described as a collapse fiasco.
The box office on the first day of the film's release was only 2.92 million, and as of 8 o'clock on September 29, the movie was released for 2 days plus several days before, and the cumulative box office was only 16.15 million. The hard work is not as good as the results of 1 day of release, and "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is really disappointing.
This puts the film under unprecedented box office pressure.
The film spent a lot of money to sell the copyright, the remake is Spain's 2018 Spanish box office champion "Basketball Champion", due to the invitation of three real disabled people to star, resulting in a slow progress of film shooting, the entire film was shot for 8 months, according to online reports The cost of the film exceeded 200 million. According to the current trend, unless there is a counterattack at the box office, the final box office of the film will exceed 100 million.
The producer generally takes 38% of the box office, plus the cost of publicity, "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" may lose more than 170 million!
What makes me a little emotional is that "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is not a bad film, more of a debt for happy twist bad films.
Many audiences naturally regard "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" as a happy twist work, indeed starring Wei Xiang, Wang Zhi, Allen are all happy twist members, director Gao Hu, screenwriter and producer Xing Wenxiong are also happy twist old partners, the team's last work is the happy twist hit "This killer is not very calm".
"It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is clearly a movie that wants to replicate the success of "This Killer Is Not Too Calm".
But "It Doesn't seem to be so hot" is not a movie produced by Happy Twist, this audience is misunderstood, what is more funny is that Happy Twist used to be a golden signboard, many bad films are released under the banner of Happy Twist, in recent years, Happy Twist bad films have continued, and the audience has long been aesthetically fatigued!
"It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is not such a poor quality comedy. Mistaken by the audience for happy twist works but played a negative role, especially this summer's "Super Family" can be called the worst movie of the year, the audience is really afraid in a short period of time, resulting in the audience seeing the happy twist elements of the work dare not support!
Happy Twist finally paid the price for making a bad movie!
There is a gap with the original, but the quality of "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" is not bad.
In 2018, Spain gave birth to two masterpieces, the first is "Invisible Guest" swept the world, many countries remade this film, with almost no publicity, the Chinese mainland box office broke through 172 million.
However, in the Spanish market, "Invisible Guest" was crushed, and a "Basketball Champion" smashed more than $23 million at the box office, 7 times that of "Invisible Guest", and finally won the Spanish box office championship in 2018. It is a pity that "Basketball Champion" is not well-known in Chinese mainland, and judging from "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot", Chinese audiences do not pay much attention to this special group.
Because Spain has a lot of welfare systems for people with disabilities.
As a result, people with disabilities in Spain can live normally, and in the original version the team members have their own lives and occupations, gardeners, pet shops, assembly line workers, and even play bands and ride motorcycles.
This point naturally had to be localized, so in the Chinese version it became a special school team, rather than the original community team.
The entire team members of the original version are real disabled people, and the Chinese version uses three, the others are professional actors, even if the performance is similar, it is always almost meaningful, you can see the traces of acting skills, in many details of caring for people with disabilities, the two versions are also different.
There are still a lot of reversals in the original, but it makes sense to think about it.
For example, in the final final is one point away, there is a player who shoots with his back to the basket as usual, usually he has never shot it, in the usual movie, this must be the climactic ball scored, but the movie design is extremely exciting, the ball still rubs shoulders with the frame, and the team can only get the runner-up. This is life, maybe they do their best, but they are a little closer to normal people.
In the end, the coach got a better opportunity to leave, the team members came, according to the routine of domestic rotten films, it must be the affectionate call of the team members, the coach left a happy ending, but the team members actually came to bid farewell to the coach, after all, staying is probably only a plot that exists in movies, too many people leave for life.
It's a pity that "It Doesn't Seem to Be So Hot" has become a pure comedy, weakening the team members who should be cared for, and the setting and scenes are all added to the coach played by Wei Xiang, which does create a lot of laughter, but loses a lot of humanistic care!
Of course, it's not that the movie is bad, it's just not good enough.
