Have you watched this year's May Day?
A total of 8 movies, covering animation, suspense, romance, comedy, action and other genres.
Sammo Hung , Louis Koo , Wang Yibo , Huang Jingyu , Xiao Shenyang Zhang Zifeng , Yang Mi , Ou Hao and other traffic superstars are scattered in different styles of films to accompany you for May Day.
Even if you haven't watched one yet, there is always one on it that echoes your preferences.
However, five of the domestic live-action movies have a big difference between expectations and the actual situation, which is another matter.
According to the feedback from the audience who have seen it, the slots of these five movies are often greater than the highlights.
Even if these big names are traffic superstars, they can't save this year's May Day.
And the winner in the end, you might never have imagined it would be.
Peacekeeping FPUs
Because of Wang Yibo's traffic, the film became the leader of the May 1st file as soon as it was released.
However, behind the glamour hides the water injection.
The movie is complained about too much because the characters are face-painted and the plot is routine, which is comparable to an anti-Japanese drama.
The most unbearable setting is that in order to intensify the contradictions, the characters are deliberately highlighted, and soldiers who do not obey orders are actually dispatched to maintain peace.
There is still such a setting in 2024, do you really treat our soldiers as fools?
In reality, this is purely impossible.
If this has something to do with the director's skills, then you don't need to watch the performances of several actors in the movie.
You must know that actors' acting skills are often related to the director's training.
The biggest problem this time is none other than Wang Yibo, a traffic actor who is not from a professional class, and Zhong Chuxi, who does not match the image of a female warrior.
Even if the former works hard outside the play, he still looks oily in the movie.
The acting skills are also superficial, and there is no trace of progress in sight.
I believe that except for fans, his level is really unable to convince the audience.
The latter's Zhong Chuxi's big red lips and heavy makeup are incompatible with the melody of the film, and those who don't know think she is acting in idol dramas.
Compared with the heroic image of Jiang Luxia in "Operation Red Sea" next door, the difference between the two is instantly clear at a glance.
In general, the theme of "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" is good, but you just can't see the sincerity of the film.
Everyone knows that this movie did not come forward, because of an accident with an artist surnamed Zhang, which caused Ou Hao to temporarily replace him.
As a result, most of the movies only have one-person shots, and it is obvious that the crew is not willing to waste time re-filming the rival scenes.
According to the audience's feedback, the effective plot of the movie is 88 minutes, and the end credits alone scroll for more than 10 minutes.
After all kinds of things, the movie almost didn't hit the screen perfunctory to the extreme.
No wonder in addition to the doting of fans, when you open the movie rating comment area, it is almost a lot of bad reviews.
The end of the road to spend money
Just by looking at the name, this movie can already be seen as the ending of a bad movie.
The classic name of the old film, the past overturned cases have grabbed a lot of them.
The core idea of "spending all the money" to watch the movie itself is very old-fashioned, and the process of spending money is even far less interesting than "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
So not to mention the logic of the movie, none of them match reality.
The protagonist can save money by stacking a lot of coupons, so ask which supermarket in real life supports you to do this?
And the friendship between the four brothers is also very fake plastic, and there is a feeling of imitating "Sunshine Sisters", which is not only not touching, but looks stupid.
The joining of several Internet celebrities has lowered the grade of the movie, so can any cat or dog be an actor?
As for the love scene in a small section plus memories and "Charlotte's Troubles", today's twist has become synonymous with bad movies, and co-authoring "Spending Money at the End of the Road" is also a tribute in this direction?
The cross-cutting of the ending reflects the cheap inspiration, which is a typical forcible dumpling.
If you search again, the director and screenwriter really made short dramas and online dramas before, and they don't have the ability to control feature films at all.
Although it is on the theater line, it is still only the rough texture and inferior level of the Internet University and short videos.
The only place you can see is Uncle Jewel's rap.
Finally, I would like to ask again, why didn't Tan Zhuo, who has always been a powerful faction, think about this film?
A trip through the moon
As the only romance film on May Day, first of all, "A Trip Through the Moon" took the lead in terms of subject matter.
The movie is released on Valentine's Day or Tanabata to commemorate the special meaning of love, and it may be a little interesting, but it not only bets on the wrong time, but also sets the setting in the 90s.
In today's era of developed high-speed rail, young people really can't empathize with the difficulty of meeting in a long-distance relationship at that time.
The key is that the two child stars, Hu Xianxu and Zhang Zifeng, were still playing junior high school students last time, and now they are acting in romance films, and there are still many large-scale dramas in it.
The two forcibly pretended to be adults to get married and show affection, which is really like a minor who dropped out of school early and started a family in the social news.
Although Hu Xianxu and Zhang Zifeng are indeed adults, they do not have a transition period of transformation, and as soon as they come up, they naturally make the audience who watched them grow up have a sense of awkwardness.
The love values promoted in the movie have also been criticized by the audience.
In the name of the good of the other party, the protagonists each wronged themselves.
I was reluctant to buy a boxed lunch for a few dollars, and I sold the blanket and changed it to a piano.
And love others first and love themselves, such a morbid effort will only make the other side feel burdened in real life, and may even become a foreshadowing of future contradictions.
A truly healthy relationship is one that doesn't affect oneself.
Just like the protagonist would rather starve than have the money left over for his partner, he can either buy it or express his love in another way, as long as his heart is sincere enough, their love will not fade.
Perhaps the only thing that this movie has to do with Labor Day is that the protagonist is a worker.
However, none of their uniforms are brand new and beautiful, and those who don't know think they are participating in the Metamorphosis.
is another perfunctory enough movie, no wonder it is the existence of the bottom of the May 1st file.
The siege of the Kowloon Walled City
The film changed the setting of the police and bandit showdown in Hong Kong films in the past, gathering gang fights + manga + action scenes heartily + Sammo Hung, Louis Koo, Ren Xianqi, and Lin Feng's super lineup sat in the formation, breaking the law that Hong Kong films are dead.
However, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" seems to be the most successful counterattack, but in fact it is just the tallest of the short.
Aside from the film's well-received action scenes, its characters, conflicts, and motivations are all old and messy.
It's 4202 years, and I'm still watching the clichéd grievances and grievances between the protagonists, for fear that they will act and suddenly become the self-moved of the grandfathers.
and the Kowloon Walled City to fantasize about Hong Kong as a dilapidated but warm paradise, even if you are purely looking forward to an action movie, you can't hold back when you see a punch that knocks people a few meters away.
The only thing that is somewhat recognized, perhaps, is the art setting.
In fact, "Hong Kong movies are dead" is a wrong statement in itself, otherwise how could a good film like "The Bad Tongue Lawyer" come out.
In the final analysis, there are still some Hong Kong films that can't tell a good story.
If such cheap movies continue to appear in the vanity and romance of the past, it will only spare no effort to confirm the view that "Hong Kong films are dead".
Finally, let's take a look:
The rest of the movie doesn't mention the name, just by looking at it and "Journey Through the Moon" to compete for the bottom, you can know what level it is.
said that it was a script kill, suspense + comedy elements, but it was actually filmed differently, and I still don't know its positioning.
Before the release of itself, there was a wave of controversy that angered the workers, but now it's okay, even the minimum quality can't be guaranteed, and the pure fans supply the film.
Unexpectedly, the final winner of this year's May Day file was actually a Japanese anime - Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle".
The film scored as high as 9.1 points with millions of people, and scored 9.7 on a ticketing platform, far ahead of the reputation of movies in the same schedule.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the re-screening, it even successfully surpassed the two classic anime films "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" and "Dream Travel" this time.
You must know that during the Qingming Festival some time ago, after the old man's finale "What kind of life do you want to live" was launched in China, it surpassed the local box office in Japan, not to mention, and also abused and killed our domestic films of the same period.
Nowadays, none of the May 1st domestic movies can be beaten, and they lost to Japanese anime again, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the worst May 1st in recent years.
When the sorrow of domestic movies will end, it depends on its next performance.
