New Year's Action: Bollywood Mission Impossible

The box office record created by "Three Fools in Bollywood" was broken by "New Year Action" three years later, and in India, the number of viewers of "New Year Action" has exceeded 100 million, and the god-level record it created is still in a jaw-dropping climb...

Pie will not fall from the sky, box office success comes from the quality of the film itself, "New Year Action" is a standard family action comedy blockbuster, the so-called crying and laughing have true feelings, "New Year Action" is fully qualified, very suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year file. Of course, Indian movies have their own distinctive characteristics, "New Year Action" can not be excluded, but the film sets the plot of the World Dance Competition, so as to organically integrate the bridge section of the song and dance into the plot, and does not feel delayed; and a group of chicken and dog thieves gather to steal diamonds, but also reminiscent of the classic "group fight" mode such as "Twelve Arhats" and "Shaolin Soccer" (I am more reminded of "Garrison Death Squad"), a group of people flying up and down in a luxury hotel in Dubai, compared with "Mission Impossible" In addition, the dense funny section in the film has a "nonsensical" style, and Indian films often make the Chinese people have a sigh of "dog blood", but once the irony is added, it is immediately ridiculed.

In short, "New Year's Action" is a good quality genre film, very suitable for family viewing (of course, the length of the film has also been deleted when it was introduced), and the bridge section with songs and dances is also very eye-catching - the female director of this film, Farah Khan, is a senior film director, and has also choreographed Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and others.

"New Year Action", you can attack jade. At present, the voice of criticism of domestic films is endless, and many people often take Hollywood as a standard board, but it is better than Hollywood than Bollywood, India's development stage is more similar to ours, according to the report released by the United Nations last year, India's 1.2 billion people in adult illiteracy are 287 million, China's 1.36 billion people in adult illiteracy is 183 million, calculated that India's illiteracy rate is much higher than China, and the per capita GDP is only 1/4 of China, but it is in this educational and economic background. Bollywood's films have achieved much higher international influence than Chinese films in recent years, which is undoubtedly worthy of Chinese film scrutiny.

In fact, Chinese films have also experienced a climax, but also in the world film industry has aroused widespread attention, but with the rapid development of the film market, there must be some chaotic situations, in general, this is caused by the shortage of film products - compared to the rapid growth of the number of screens and the enthusiasm of young audiences for movies, the production of domestic films has not yet reached the requirements, for a long time for film products "wen to carry the road" requirements, but also make domestic films always have a considerable distance from the audience, when the entertainment valve is opened, It caused a mixed situation of mud and sand.

After the shock, it must still be a stable genre film to hit the world, last year's North American box office champion "Guardians of the Galaxy", is the (science fiction) action + comedy routine, but also a few strange coffee team adventure story, in the end, "New Year Action" is the same as it, this high concept, big stars, big scenes to obtain ultra-high box office model, is undoubtedly the fruit of the benign development of the film industry. Urban, fashionable, hot-blooded, beautiful, eye-catching, technological, fighting, leaning down to see the world from the perspective of the most grassroots urban civilians, serving the audience in their own right, telling a warm story with fireworks, you will find that everything becomes logical, and even the patriotic sensationalism becomes appropriate.

For some people who often hope to show their "cultural taste" through movies, it is obviously not high enough to watch Indian films such as "New Year Action", they always tend to use dull art films to characterize their own differences, of course, niche art films are also necessary in a diversified film ecology, but for a large country with a population base of more than one billion people and grassroots audiences, what we need is a movie like "New Year Action".

In the words of Zheng Zhengqiu, the pioneer of Chinese cinema, "adding a little conscience to businessism" is so simple, but unfortunately many domestic films have not done it.
