The second wave of the summer file has arrived, and the box office results of "Catching the Doll" have been unbeatable.
Obviously, the blockbusters only have about two weeks left for them, and the new films are about to debut.
From "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century", which I can't understand from the comments, to Chen Sicheng's first spy war blockbuster "Decryption", to Wu Ershan, Xu Zheng and others joining strongly.
In this summer's film market, the real excitement is probably still to come, and it is difficult to say whether "Shen Ma CP" can stand in the end.
When everyone focuses on mainland movies, they always feel that something is missing.
I still remember that in previous years, Hollywood blockbusters were all harvested at the right time, trying to form a sharp contrast with mainland movies.
But this time, why didn't there be any movement?
In fact, it's not that there is no movement, but that the results are too miserable to be left behind.
There was a horror film big IP "A Quiet Place 3" for almost a month, and it only won 100 million box office.
Later, "Tornado" played in a high-profile manner, but was beaten by "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf's Guardian" next door.
More than 40 million box office was received in 6 days after its release, and "Tornado" was only about one-third of the animated film.
It cost 110 million yuan and more than 10 million box office, which is going to lose the sky!
Cold rice and hard stir-fry, story routines, what's the meaning of a remake?
In today's film market, everyone seems to have greatly reduced their expectations as soon as they hear the word "remake".
Whether it is Chen Sicheng's "Manslaughter", Zhang Yi's "Priceless Treasure", as well as Shen Teng's "Super Family" and Jia Ling's "Hot and Hot" and so on.
Everyone is particularly resistant to the remake, the screenwriter has no idea of his own, and if he copies other stories, he can cut another wave of leeks.
As the object of cutting, it is reasonable for the audience to be disgusted.
However, it is not difficult to find that even if the original versions of these movies are indeed well-known and are classics from other countries, there are not many mainland audiences who have seen them.
However, "Tornado", as a blockbuster work of Hollywood's summer attack on the Chinese film market, is still a remake of United States' work 28 years ago.
Even the name of the movie has not changed, the story is basically the same, and the twists and turns in it may not be as good as the original.
Good guys, cold rice and hard frying, remake your own story, and you can also release it to China to grab the summer market.
Are you crazy?
Moreover, leaving aside the remake, even the storyline is obviously not created with care.
The plot is divided into three sections.
First, how the heroine's university suffered a tornado setback, how to produce a psychological shadow.
The second is to overcome obstacles and return to the outdoors, and then meet love.
Third, how the heroine overcame all difficulties in a difficult environment and completed the mission to escape.
Good guy, it's like writing essays in junior high school.
Why is this story so familiar?
I admit that the special effects of "Tornado" are still remarkable, and the United Kingdom actor Daisy · Edgar-Jones, who plays the heroine, is also relatively good-looking.
However, the male protagonist is very oily and his acting skills are average, and this movie looks really boring.
As a brainless cool film, you can still choose, after all, fans who like Hollywood movies may not have such high requirements for the story itself.
But if this kind of film, once it becomes made by a Chinese director, I can't imagine what it will be scolded.
This is like someone remaking "The Wandering Earth" more than ten years later, the story line is simple, and it has to be the first part, I'm afraid that I will be scolded out of the circle.
It can only be said that our audience is still a little tolerant of Hollywood movies.
Individual heroism against natural disasters?
The individual heroism of United States films has long been subtly accepted by domestic audiences.
Until the rise of Chinese films in the past few years, we also have our own heroism, especially the two "Wolf Warriors" directly broke the box office ceiling.
The controversy was rampant, and the trial of individual heroism began.
If you don't say it, your own people will subconsciously find fault with your own people.
In this regard, the special effects of Hollywood movies are actually still online, but our technology has developed, especially after watching really good movies such as "Changjin Lake" and "The Wandering Earth 2".
The story and special effects are both amazing, and the grand enjoyment of sight and sound is the "disenchantment" of Hollywood movies.
At the same time, through "Tornado", it is not difficult to find that perhaps the "big heroine" theme is not only a problem in the mainland market.
The actresses in the film are so amazingly chosen, brave and cheerful, and will never back down in the face of terrible natural disasters.
The most important thing is to fall in love, the male protagonist is an Internet celebrity, and the actor is still greasy.
At the same time, the second male protagonist is the same as the male protagonist.,It also has to act as the female protagonist's "licking dog".,I want to ask what kind of big female protagonist is this.。
Obviously, both the casting script creation is very perfunctory, why do you think you can get a piece of the cake in China, and who gives them confidence.
And there are actually a lot of bugs in the plot of "Tornado".
It's already 2024, and natural disasters can't be predicted, and every time a disaster has come,
The police lights just started flashing.
The professional department does not send people, at least similar to civil servants such as firefighters or policemen, and natural disasters always have to save people.
As a result, there is only one Internet celebrity for the male protagonist, and the male protagonist is the second capitalist, and the female protagonist still asked for leave.
Didn't I say, isn't the heroine an expert in meteorology, the tornadoes are coming and I have to work, so why do I have to ask for leave to come?
Relationship experts also have to sit on duty for 8 hours, right?
This kind of personal heroism, which has no logic and does not stand up to scrutiny, is actually like a child's play.
And every time I watch this kind of disaster blockbuster in United States, I even have more confidence in our own country's police force and system.
I understand, it turned out to be a friendly army, and it was released in China, just to highlight the national strength of our own country.
epilogue
Such a bad movie can make money in China in the summer, and even the Douban score can pass.
The score of 6.9 is 0.7 points higher than the really cool and exciting "Silent Killing", and I was also stunned.
In my opinion, if this kind of disaster film is made by our director, the most level will be to become a network university.
This is not prejudice, if you really understand the online market, you will find that the story routine in it is not bad from this Hollywood blockbuster, and many of the special effects of the film are also unbeatable, most of the online universities are disaster or thriller horror movies, and the degree of completion is relatively high.
Back to "Tornado" itself, in fact, the whole is just a piece of exquisite packaging.
The special effects are amazing, and they are not at the same level as "Dune", and the story is no different from that written by AI.
As for the cost of 1.1 billion, we don't know where it was spent.
IMHO, there may still be a long way to go for Chinese audiences to disenchant Hollywood blockbusters. #记录我的2024#
