May 1st movie, "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" broke 100 million at the box office on the first day of release, and currently ranks first temporarily.
But, sorry, it's hard to boast.
As a hero film with the main theme, this movie tells the little-known life and death moments of the Chinese peacekeeping police, such a heroic theme is still very much expected, but everyone has already watched domestic films of the same type such as "Operation Red Sea", and then watch this "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", the contrast is obvious, and it is really difficult to swallow.
The story is routine, the starring actor is idolized, the person is replaced, and the grease is whitewashed.
This is not to let heroes enter the hearts of the audience, but the regression of domestic hero films, no wonder there were bad reviews on Douban after the release.
A good story is the first step to attract the audience, but the story of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" is old-fashioned, patchwork, lacking novelty, and the characters are set up in a face.
The film tells the story of a small squad of the Chinese peacekeeping police formed police unit that was attacked by bandits while carrying out peacekeeping operations in Africa, but the most incomprehensible thing is that it is obviously a disciplined force, but the film wants to show the disorganization and undiscipline of the peacekeeping team.
If you want to show the growth of a character, you have to look like a silly boy at first?
Such a plot and character setting have been outdated for too many years.
The executive producer of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" is "Infernal Affairs" director Liu Weiqiang, but the director is the "newcomer" Li Dachao, who has worked with Liu Weiqiang for many years as a martial arts instructor.
It is worth noting that the Douban score of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" also has a particularly strange phenomenon:
On the one hand, there are all kinds of bad reviews and complaints, and on the other hand, there are all kinds of crazy five-star praises with full scores.
This has to go back to one of the problems of the aforementioned films: idolization.
"Peacekeeping Riot Squad", it stands to reason that it should be the mental outlook of the Chinese peacekeeping police, the strength of the blood, and the temperament of the disciplined forces, but the casting of this movie can be said to be idolized and traffic-oriented.
It must be admitted that Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo are really handsome, but being handsome and cool is not the same as the image of a police officer who can really be recognized by the audience.
This viewer's evaluation is quite high, and it speaks to many people's hearts:
The theme is very good, highlighting the national prestige of the mainland and promoting the heroic courage of the mainland peacekeeping police...... But as a peacekeeping policeman, every time I go out on a mission, I don't want to be handsome, can I act more professionally?
However, this kind of handsome performance was blown up by fans.
Compliments such as "so handsome", "really handsome", and "handsome" make people wonder whether they are watching a movie or a moving idol photo album.
When fans flock to rate movies starring idols, it is difficult for the scores and evaluations in this part to objectively present the true level of the movie itself.
A movie that has not reached the five-star level, and such a brainless boasting of five-star scoring has been distorted, and the enthusiastic help of fans has become a disservice.
How can actors improve if they can't hear real evaluations?
Huang Jingyu, who has acted in "Operation Red Sea", the only thing he can praise this time is his appearance and temperament, but he has been acting for many years, and his English in "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" this time is simply indescribable.
Wang Yibo is still too beautiful, and he still hasn't gotten rid of the feeling of delicate little fresh meat, and in terms of appearance and temperament, he doesn't look like a peacekeeping policeman at all.
The traces of acting are still too obvious.
This movie also suffered a "substitution", which led to the replacement of the actor Ou Hao, who appeared in the film, looking "weird".
The movie "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", which was originally launched in 2021, has not been released until now, which is more or less related to a traffic actor who starred in the film before, and finally became a "bad artist".
This Zhang Moumou, after the bad deeds incident was blocked, the filming of the movie was suspended for a while, and then it was finally replaced by Ou Hao, and the re-shooting plus "changing people and changing heads" was finally released.
But such a "change of head change" also led to incoherent film editing, and when Ou Hao appeared in the film, it was basically his single big head, how awkward it was.
What is even more unacceptable is the grease and powder of the female policeman in the film.
It's not that female police can't love beauty or makeup, but it's important to understand that this is a "Peacekeeping Riot Squad".
Look at the female soldier played by Jiang Luxia in "Operation Red Sea", and then look at Zhong Chuxi's image in "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" this time, this makeup is too obvious, too thick, and the burden of beauty is too heavy.
This is not the literary female soldier she danced in "Fanghua", but the female policeman who shoulders a heavy responsibility in overseas peacekeeping operations, not to perform on stage, but to walk through the rain of bullets.
Such an image of a policewoman really has no convincing power and sense of substitution.
I also want to say in particular: "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" has a total length of 101 minutes, but the subtitles at the end of the film are actually 13 minutes long! This point has been severely complained by many netizens.
If you could spend a little more effort on subtitling for another few dozen minutes, would it make this movie a little better?
Chinese hero films and military films have been improving over the years, but this movie really can't boast, good box office is not everything, and fans are not equal to real movie audiences.
Let's get down to earth.
