April 30th passed in the blink of an eye.
After all, the audience at the midnight show is small, so the criticism is quite obvious.
Therefore, the impact of word-of-mouth is not that obvious.
On April 30th, the box office of the market exceeded 100 million, and three of the new movies accounted for more than 90% of the box office of the market.
Director Wu Junming's "Fatal Partner" topped the list with a first-day box office of 45 million.
Huang Zhenyi's "The Legend of the Walled City" ranked second with a box office of 32 million.
As for "Mom Love Me Again", its first-day schedule was smaller than the first two, but thanks to the strong early publicity of the movie, although it was not as good as the first two, it also achieved a box office of 28 million on the first day.
After the day's box office results were released, everyone was happy.
However, after a full day of screening on the first day, the reputation of the three movies began to change significantly.
On Popular Film Critics Online, "Fatal Companion" has been rated by over 10,000 people, but its overall score has plummeted from 8.5 points to 7.0 points after the zero-point screening.
Most of the comments below said that "Fatal Companion" is a tiger rather than a dog, and its reputation can be said to have plummeted.
In fact, this is also a situation that often occurs in most "imitation" movies.
However, "Fatal Companion" was not the one with the worst reputational fall, the worst one was "The Walled City Heroes".
Just after the midnight show earlier, "Heroes of the Walled City" had the same score of 8.4 points due to review control. However, in just one day, the overall score dropped directly to 6.2 points.
Although the comprehensive evaluation of the movie will decline as the number of moviegoers and the number of people participating in the rating increases, the drop from an excellent movie with a score of 8.4 to a passing movie with a score of 6.2 in one day is real. The reputation of Waterloo.
As for "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes", the biggest problem is still the same old problem.
"The emotional balance is insufficient. Apart from the protagonist of "The Legend of the Walled City", these supporting characters have too little sense of existence. Apart from familiar faces, all that is left are unforgettable feelings."
One of the short comments was liked and pinned to the top: "We have defeated all the Young and Dangerous boys in the city, but we can never bring back the old Hong Kong movies of the past."
And these are actually good reviews.
The real negative reviews are that many viewers are dissatisfied with the movie's story and plot being cliche and outdated.
"Old stories, old routines, we can indeed see many classic shadows, but if there are too many shadows, we will lose ourselves. The story is too twists and turns, bizarre and complex. Don't delete what should be deleted, and what should be detailed. The details will be too abrupt. It's unconvincing. Maybe it would be better to make a 20-episode TV series with more details. I don't know if the action scenes are to highlight the flavor of old Hong Kong movies, but they are still all kinds of old-fashioned gun battles and explosions, but I don't know if they are just emotions and are they action scenes? Not long.”
"Is the so-called revival of the glory of old Hong Kong films just a shadow of the clichés of various classic Hong Kong films? Sorry, brother, times have changed!"
"Perhaps because it wants to please the mainland audience, the whole movie is more like a legal documentary about police and robbers chasing each other, rather than the blood-soaked police and robbers in the past that are unique to Hong Kong Island. Success is also emotional, and failure is also emotional. !”
In fact, "The Legend of the Walled City" can be said to be a microcosm of Hong Kong movies that are mostly aimed at reviving Hong Kong movies.
Apart from feelings, there is nothing new.
Probably because of the sentiment of selling Hong Kong films in the early years, that group of old audiences particularly bought into it. Therefore, every time a group of veteran Hong Kong directors like Huang Zhenyi made a film, the first thing they thought of was selling sentiment! But they ignore that old audiences will always grow old, and even old audiences like new things. The same old things are outdated.
What's interesting is that some viewers also mentioned the movie "Mom Love Me Again" next door!
Although Li Yi graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, his father is Li Zhenye, and he grew up in Hong Kong Island.
He is also a director from Hong Kong Island.
"I don't know when. It seems that many well-known old directors in Hong Kong no longer understand how to make movies without their feelings. Why don't they learn from the next door "Mom Love Me Again". Facts have proved that people don't rely on selling feelings. Can make good movies!”
The reputation of "Mom Love Me Again" is in sharp contrast to "The Legend of the Walled City Heroes".
Earlier, "Mom Love Me Again" only received a score of 8.2 on the Popular Film Critics website. Of course, this was mainly because there was no review control.
Because the tap water rating is higher than 8 points, there is no need to control the rating.
However, one day after its release, the score of "Mom Love Me Again" on the popular film review website did not decrease. Instead, it increased by 0.1 points to 8.3 points.
The key is the number of scorers, which is actually higher than the previous two, with nearly 20,000 people participating in the score.
"The same Hong Kong director, "Mom Love Me Again" sells not feelings, but extreme sensationalism!"
"The plot of the movie is cliche, which is often a derogation, but here, it becomes a compliment, because even if you know that the plot of this movie is cliché and sensational, it can still make people cry like Fool."
There are more movie reviews, but each audience member shares his own story with his mother!
"I booked a train ticket overnight after watching the movie. When I got home today, I just told my mother that I missed her and the food she cooked. However, I made my mother think that something had happened to me. In the end, she secretly I took out a bankbook and took it out. The deposits in it made me shed tears because every time I gave it to my mother, she never touched a penny. This is my mother. Ah, the mother who will always, always only think about us children!"
"For me, who has had no mother since I was a child, watching this movie is like a knife stabbing my chest. The only thing I can do is cry until my heart breaks. My destiny has already been written. In the next life, I want to have a mother."
"I took my mother to see this movie after a friend recommended it. While watching it, mother and daughter burst into tears. Then after we went back, my mother said to me with an annoyed look on her face: "If you don't hurry up and find someone else, Object, your mother and I are really going crazy. You can only let your mother and I accompany you when you watch a movie! "Suddenly speechless!"
"It's very embarrassing, very shameful. After watching this movie, I thought today was Mother's Day, so I called my mother to say happy holiday. My mother smiled and said to me, let's have fun together. I was immediately dumbfounded! It turns out that old Mom thought I was telling her Happy Labor Day!”
Li Yi and Mu Nanxing both breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Li Yi is not completely sure about "Mom Love Me Again".
After all, this movie was born quite a long time ago.
And now, although the box office on the first day did not sweep the country as much as in memory, it also proved that some things will not change with the passage of time. The things that moved you back then are still popular today. It can move you!
It's just like the Li Yi in my memory. I watched it when I was a child in my previous life and cried a lot. But when I grow up and watch it again, I still can't stop crying.
