Preface
I really didn't expect that the box office of the May Day movie ushered in an epic upset!
Yang Mi Yu Qian's "There Is No Thing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" was at the bottom of the box office, and there was only a dismal box office of 40 million on the second day of May Day, which was not even as good as the box office of the animated film "Pig Man"!
However, although Xiao Shenyang and Jia Bing's "Spending Money at the End of the Road" had a mediocre reputation before its release, the box office of 185 million after its release ushered in a box office reversal.
Closely followed Louis Koo and Sammo Hung's "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" with a box office of 188 million.
However, the current first place in the box office list has won 245 million box office in just two days.
Before the release of this film, it didn't even promote it much, but it can become a box office dark horse in May Day in 2024, which really makes the audience's eyes shine.
I was going to Uncle Yu Qian and Da Mi Mi's "A Hot Pot" that day, but I didn't expect to be "amazed" by Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo's "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team"!
Why there is a cliff-like box office gap between these two dramas on May Day, let's take a look! (This article contains slight spoilers, which will not affect everyone's viewing experience).
Yang Mi Yu Qian's "Hot Pot" was defeated by this awkward "name"!
To be honest, the announcement of this movie was really "annoying" at that time, and almost one out of 5 short videos was about this movie.
But unexpectedly, it was "big thunder and small rain", which not only collapsed at the box office, but also was bombarded by the audience.
And the full name of this movie is "There is no thing that can't be solved by a hot pot", a total of 12 words, and before I entered the theater at that time, the editor almost "lost my breath" because of the lack of oxygen because of the name.
Not only that, but even on the promotional poster, the eye-catching 12 big characters, from beginning to end, are a little too fast to put down, overflowing the poster's feeling, is this the pursuit of "word count" is different, or blindly "eyeballs"?
In addition to the issue of the name of the movie, the plot of this drama is even more illogical.
is a group of people who know each other in the green bubble group, and they stole a huge amount of money from a corrupt official's house, but when they shared the spoils, one person died
So they were in the courtyard of a theater, playing mahjong, eating hot pot, and discussing how to properly solve these problems.
The overall feeling is like a group of people forming a game, and then sitting together rubbing mahjong and eating hot pot, inexplicably playing the script killing.
In terms of the texture of the movie, "Hot Pot" can be said to be very NICE!
The color collision of national style mahjong culture, Sichuan opera style, Chinese classical musical instruments, and cyberpunk can be said to be full of elements and explosive perception.
However, there are many elements, but the director will not use them.
In the movie, the inexplicable frequent camera turns, and the strong sound of gongs, drums, and suona that explode the ears almost deaf the audience's eardrums and blind their eyes.
And after watching the whole movie, there are only four summaries: "drive high and go low".
In the first half of the plot, the scenes of killing, sharing stolen goods, defrauding corpses, hiding corpses, and eating black have simply earned the audience's attention.
But in the second half of the plot, the tone created by the front as a whole was immediately returned to the prototype.
Even the decryption of the relationship between the identities of the characters in the end is simply speechless.
I didn't expect them to know each other, what kind of brother-in-law, lover, illegitimate relationship, simply shattered my three views.
After watching it, my mind is even like this boiled hot pot in the film, in the clouds, and I really need to be quiet.
In general, this movie complicates a very ordinary, very speechless script and a script.
The whole movie lasted more than two hours, and it almost made people fall asleep.
In terms of character casting, Yu Qian's performance is decent, and he is still as funny as always.
Yang Mi's makeup image is also very explosive, and he still has the feeling of "tough" in "Harbin 1944".
I think the people who watched this drama probably went to these two people.
Although the whole movie is a bit bad, it can still be watched in the May 1st gear, so it should be a pleasure!
"Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team", another dark horse movie with a military patriotic theme!
Unexpectedly, when the editor finished watching "A Hot Pot", he found that the theater of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" was full of people.
Then I took out my mobile phone and saw that "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" was on the first place in the box office!
So in the spirit of curiosity, the editor bought another movie ticket for "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" and swiped two movies in a row.
I want to take a good look at the difference in this movie.
I don't know if I don't watch it, I was shocked when I saw it, but I didn't expect this movie to be "rotten" out of New Skyrim.
The whole film is simply summed up, it is a story template for saving people - gunfight - being injured - continuing to save people - continuing to shootout - continuing to be injured - being seriously injured in the end - finally saving people successfully.
And the plot is also very simple, it is the story of the mainland's peacekeeping troops going to other countries to rescue the witnesses of the "terrorist attack".
belongs to the level of a bad movie with no script and no pictures, and after watching all of this movie, it is simply torture.
Why?
Because of such a simple task of saving people, this drama was filmed three times repeatedly.
The first time, on the battlefield where the war was raging, the peacekeepers collectively rescued the witnesses, but Wang Yibo did not listen to the command, acted without authorization, and fought crookedly, and finally the task was completed!
The second time, on the battlefield where the war was raging, the peacekeepers continued to rescue witnesses, Wang Yibo continued to disobey the command and caused his teammates to be shot, but in the end, the task was completed!
The third time, on the battlefield where the war was raging, the peacekeepers continued to rescue witnesses, but Wang Yibo still didn't listen to the command, because Wang Yibo was arrested, his teammates were still injured, and finally the collective did not listen to the command, and the task was finally completed!
Just such a thing, the director was stunned and turned it over and filmed it three times.
Not only that, but the special effects shots of the movie are really no different from the "anti-Japanese drama"!
The bullets fired by the enemy and us frequently collided, the "Peacekeeper" hit his finger with a shot from 100 meters away, and he was shot several times but was still refreshed.
It simply gathers all the elements of the filming of the drama, this is a tribute to the peacekeeping forces, please ask the director to take a snack!
However, what I can't hold back the most is that the characters of this show are simply difficult to stress.
Huang Jingyu turned out to be Zhu Yawen's old friend on the battlefield, and Zhu Yawen's son is Wang Yibo, after Zhu Yawen's sacrifice, Huang Jingyu grew up watching Wang Yibo from a young age, and both of them turned out to be "inferior" in the film.
When I saw this paragraph in the theater at the time, I was simply full of question marks.
Are the current movies really not even a little bit of real substitution? Can they be the two of them?
Therefore, this drama gives me the feeling of frivolity and nonsense.
Although the overall look and feel is not bad, but after reading it, it really can't stand scrutiny, and the image of the male protagonist is really fake and empty.
I thought "Wolf Warrior" was outrageous back then, but I didn't expect that many years later, this kind of military patriotic theme would be even more outrageous.
Although "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" broke out of the May Day encirclement and became the current box office champion, it still needs to work hard in the plot.
But compared to "There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot", I recommend everyone to watch "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team".
After all, the scenes of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" are bigger and grander, the plot is more realistic, and the popularity is good, so you can blow it to each other with friends.
epilogue
But then again, after all, only two days have passed since May Day, and in the remaining few days, we still don't know who the final box office champion will be.
In addition, the Japanese comic "Spy Playing Home" codename: white, which was released in theaters, with this lovely Aniah, the box office also rushed to 150 million, and it is said that it is very good-looking, and it is recommended that everyone pay attention to it.
So which film have you watched this May 1st file?
