Fan Wei, Dou Xiao, Zhang Songwen and other starring "Uninvited Guest", the reversal is non-stop, the suspense is continuous, and the story content is quite wonderful.
With a similar stage play and a "confined space" setting, a very interesting story was completed.
Although the film's setting and logic closed loop are slightly flawed, the highlights are still very obvious.
The identities, performances, and attributes of Fan Wei, Dou Xiao, Zhang Songwen and other starring actors are constantly reversed in the story.
The layers are rich and the texture is full.
Perhaps the biggest difference from other films is that "The Uninvited Guest" focuses on the story itself.
Stories with large limitations in this category are not uncommon on the theater stage, but have recently appeared less and less in films.
The carrier of film has very high requirements for logical coherence and dramatic realism.
In other words, it is a test of script and acting.
Every actor in "Uninvited Guest" contributed a wonderful performance, and what is even more gratifying is the newcomer director Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang (not related to the well-known runner, but just happens to have the same name) is not from the class, and serves as a director and screenwriter at the same time, and can have such a presentation, and the performance is quite remarkable.
However, despite its many advantages, this "Uninvited Guest" still quickly "lost" the theater line.
The film will be launched on the video platform on November 9, although it has not officially announced that it will be released from theaters, but as we all know, switching to the Internet means saying goodbye to theaters.
There is no shortage of highlight films, why is life difficult in theaters?
In the final analysis, there are too many competitors and too fierce competition in the same period.
The National Day giant "Chosin Lake" is still there, and the box office has become the second place in the general list of domestic film history, referring to "Wolf Warrior 2";
Unstoppable, very fierce.
Released on the same day as "Uninvited Guest", there is also "Dune", which is starry and luxurious;
Although Dune is not a Hollywood popcorn blockbuster in the conventional sense, although the "anti-climactic" treatment has caused a lot of controversy;
But this "space opera" still has a great advantage in scheduling.
Since then, the curtain call of ren 007, "007: No Time to Die", has landed in mainland theaters.
The film is very routine, decent and lacks highlights.
But relying on the fame of IP and the market acceptance of popcorn genre films, "007: No Time to Die" has become a single-day box office champion.
Among them, there are also films such as "The First Incense", which has a poor reputation but is highly discussed.
Director Xu Anhua, wang anyi screenwriter, Zhang Ailing original, a number of master soundtracks, photography, but the actors are very inappropriate.
Everyone is discussing "why Xu Anhua chose Ma Sichun, and whether Xu Anhua knows whether Ma Sichun is inappropriate", which further compresses the discussion space of other films.
In this case, "Uninvited Guest" is very passive.
The film is well done, but it has not been able to stand out as successfully as dark horse works such as "The Unknown Generation".
Perhaps, the advantage of "Uninvited Guest" only exists at the narrative level, but it lacks the resonant cornerstone of the emotional dimension.
At the end of the film, there are emotional elements such as the male protagonist's rescue of innocent children, father and son, father and daughter, but what runs through the film is "reverse suspense" instead of "emotion".
In contrast, most of the films that can hit the box office can arouse strong emotional resonance.
In any case, the emergence of a featured film like "Uninvited Guest" is in itself very encouraging.
