At present, "Volunteer Army 2" has become the only blockbuster film that officially launched an impact on the box office of 1 billion in October this year.
Although it is not as good as the first place in the usual popular schedules, looking at the results of this past few streets of others, I believe that Chen Kaige himself is secretly happy.
Of course, with the increase in the number of moviegoers, word-of-mouth is still controversial, and the Douban score has dropped directly to 7.1.
But, even so, "Volunteer Army 2" is still far ahead of the same work.
It's just that most of the feedback from fans who have watched the film around them is not impressive.
This time, even Tang Guoqiang expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart-
1. The same film circle twice, "Volunteer Army 2" lost its original intention?
Regarding the comparison between "Volunteers" and "Changjin Lake" in terms of quality, I believe everyone has their own judgments in their hearts.
On the eve of the release of the first part of "Volunteers", the publicity formation was among the best in the entire film history, and hundreds of stars broke out posters with it, and various acting highlights appeared on the screen for a time.
Although the first box office reputation did not meet expectations, the audience still recognized his acting skills when they mentioned the male number one Tang Guoqiang.
Even every shot can raise the whole movie to a higher level, after all, they are special actors, and the acting instructors are simply handy.
It's just that in "Volunteer Army 2", the scenes of the special actors were all cut.
The Mr. Peng that the audience saw was played by Wang Yanhui.
I don't think there is much to say about his acting skills, but this kind of great man sitting in the main theme blockbuster is really a little bit worse.
The backbone has changed from Tang Guoqiang and Liu Jin to Wang Yanhui, and everyone has a certain number in their hearts about how much this visibility has decreased.
Sure enough, Tang Guoqiang also mentioned this kind of problem privately with the screenwriters of the "Volunteers" series.
"If you make this film again, it won't be "Volunteers", it will become "Changjin Lake"!"
"[The chairman] must be throughout, from top to bottom. I want to write about the difficulties of the instructors sending troops, this time it's good, the difficulties are all cut by them. ”
Indeed, compared with "Changjin Lake", it is not that "Changjin Lake" is bad, after all, Tang Guoqiang also has a cameo in it.
However, "Changjin Lake" was originally adapted from Lan Xiaolong's novel, with the Wu Qianli brothers as the main line, and expanded to the immortal spirit of all warriors from a small perspective.
However, in the process of filming "Volunteers", Chen Kaige has always emphasized the need to "show the panorama of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea".
At the same time, it is also the "only film in the history of film that restores history on the largest scale in multiple dimensions and panoramas".
But in fact, in terms of plot, the gap between "Volunteer Army 2" and the first part is too obvious.
I vaguely remember that most netizens also praised it at that time, and when Tang Guoqiang appeared on the stage, the effect was immediately different.
As the most popular special actor today, I believe that Tang Guoqiang's research on history is also very profound, which is why he is so dissatisfied with the adaptation.
In fact, as a "major historical theme", films will actually enjoy preferential treatment from creation to release to final awards.
However, you can search the homepages of the two "Volunteers" on your own, and from the second part, only "war" and "plot" are left in the theme, and the word "history" has disappeared.
Therefore, the box office of the first part of "Volunteers" is only more than 800 million, and the Douban score is not 7 points, but it can directly win the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Film.
So the second part, which undertook the propaganda that was blown to the sky before, will this kind of "preferential treatment" continue?
Second, the first male from Tang Guoqiang to Zhu Yilong to Chen Feiyu, selling dog meat on the head of a sheep?
The propaganda operation of "Volunteers", if it was put on other movies, may have been sprayed into the sky a long time ago.
Do you remember the "Fan War" when the first part was released?
This film is actually adapted from Lan Xiaolong's novel, formerly known as "War and Ritual", for some reason the original book and author are no longer displayed on the homepage.
The absolute protagonists of this novel are Li Xiang's family, that is, Zhu Yilong, Xin Baiqing and Zhang Zifeng.
As a result, the first part was about to be launched, and Zhu Yilong suddenly changed from one to two, and fans directly fried the pot for a while.
Subsequently, the day before the release, special actors such as Tang Guoqiang were temporarily moved to the front of the cast list.
This series of operations makes the audience scratch their heads.
As a result, after watching the first part, I found out that Zhu Yilong was used to promote it for so long, and as a result, Zhu Yilong only appeared in the easter egg in the first part.
In the second part, Zhu Yilong finally became an absolute one.
Chen Feiyu started from 10 times and mentioned four times.
But in the film, Chen Feiyu and Zhu Yilong almost became the two male leads.
Who would have thought that a deputy company commander could be on an equal footing with the instructor in the battalion, and the two did not know each other but forcibly pretended to be familiar like brothers.
This is not over, Li Moyin played by Xin Baiqing and Li Xiang played by Zhu Yilong all died honorably in the second part.
Therefore, in the third part, Chen Feiyu also became the male number one.
We don't know, it's obviously a novel of "War and Ritual", and the first thing I started to talk about was a "panorama" to show the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, how to shoot and shoot Not only the virtual character has always been the protagonist, but even the real male protagonist has gone offline.
Looking at it this way, no one believes it if it is not to support his son.
In fact, from the propaganda foothold of the first part, some clues can be seen.
At that time, what everyone remembered the most was of course Zhang Songwen's acting skills.
He also appeared on such an occasion, or appeared in the final stage, after Zhang Songwen's fire, he was directly cut into the cinema patch promotional video, and almost all the remaining clips were spoiled.
However, judging from the statistics of the promotional keywords of the Maoyan platform, Zhang Songwen can only rank fifth.
Among them, the most publicity points are placed in Chen Kaige, and the most publicized among the actors are Chen Feiyu and Wei Daxun, and Zhu Yilong, who did not appear, ranked fourth.
The three leading actors who were originally in the front, Tang Guoqiang, Liu Jin and Wang Yanhui, did not have any marketing.
is not a traffic star, and he really doesn't pay much attention to this.
Not only that, in the nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Wei Daxun actually appeared with Zhang Songwen's name.
Otherwise, sometimes there is no need to hide from the public who the jackpot is biased to.
epilogue
Indeed, it can be seen that Chen Kaige wants to put all his skills on the filming of the "Volunteers" trilogy.
After all, it is a "pro-son" project, and there are two other directors in "Changjin Lake" next door, and this series is directed by Chen Kaige, produced by Chen Hong, and Chen Feiyu is the male protagonist step by step.
However, it was also in his promotional video that he said that it was the film that took the most effort, but this represents Chen Kaige's level.
With "Changjin Lake" in front of Zhuyu, the "Volunteers" series was born, and there must be some differences from it, but now you can look at it.
Chen Kaige wants to join historical figures, but at the same time he is unwilling to give up the main line, after all, the main line will not exist without Chen Feiyu's role.
Grasping with both hands, I want to shoot everything, and in the end, the real and the virtual are mixed together, and they only become nondescript.
I don't know if when the third part of "Volunteers" is released on National Day next year, will you contribute to its box office? #秋日生活打卡季 ##电影志愿军存亡之战#
