The premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" ended, and the premiere of "Flowers of War" also ended at about this time.
Although we still have to wait a few hours for the first day's box office, the first batch of feedback from viewers has already come out.
Many of the first fans to watch the movie couldn't wait to express their thoughts on the Internet.
The first is "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
"It's shocking. Everything a movie can do is good. This movie has done it. What's left is that this era won't make it better. In the great changes of the times that we have just experienced, there are countless such little people who are in the torrent of times. They are struggling to survive while trying not to lose their souls. Finally, there is such a movie that allows us to see the times, see goodwill, and see hope. I hope this movie can also be treated well by this era."
"I burst into tears because of the sentence "Who doesn't have a patient yet?" and lamented that life is hopeless in the face of "poor disease". I feel that China finally has our own powerful reality-themed movie!"
"I love Zhou Guo's performance the most, almost all the tears were given to him! Because he saw the hope of life with the birth of his son, he longed to live, but in the end, he also wanted to relieve the burden on his wife and children. , to give them hope for the future, so they chose to commit suicide. The smile at the end made me feel so distressed!"
"There was "Garland Under the Mountain" before, and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" after that. You are indeed a bad director, awesome!"
"The directors of "Wreaths Under the Mountain" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are getting more and more stupid. I cry like a dog every time. But I don't know why I burst into tears when I watched it, but I couldn't bear it after watching it. I couldn’t stop laughing!”
"It may not be good enough, but for the current Chinese film market, it is extremely good."
"One of your actions may change someone else's life. The bartender fell in love with pole dancing ever since."
Forehead? It seems like something shady has been mixed in?
The first batch of movie fans who walked into the theater to watch the movie almost gave "I'm Not the God of Medicine" a zero-negative review!
The scores given by the first batch of fans are also frighteningly high. The score of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is as high as 9.5. Of course, this score must be quite high. After all, the first batch of fans must be Li Yi's loyal fans. , their evaluations will still have filters.
But such a score is still surprising and inexplicable.
On the other hand, "Flowers of War" is a bit surprising. The score is not particularly high, only 8.4 points. Of course, this score is not high compared to "I am not the God of Medicine"!
The movie reviews are more interesting.
It can be said that it is polarizing, and people who like it praise this movie.
"As one of the four famous directors, director Li Zhanshan's colors and pictures are as intoxicating as ever. "Flowers of War" tells the history of blood and tears from another angle. Although there are slight flaws, the flaws cannot be concealed!"
"Although "Flowers of War" is not as sharp as "Wreaths Under the Mountain", it is still a rare and good film."
"The war is more of a background. The film emphasizes the warmth in the cold, or the return of humanity in despair. Unfortunately, I always feel that the story advances too slowly and is very depressing, and the emotions are not released. It lacks the propulsion of the plot. , it will feel boring after watching it for a long time. However, there are a few slow-motion scenes that are done very well."
For those who don't like this movie, the most negative reviews are not the plot or the actors, but the language and meaty scenes!
"Am I the only one who thinks the biggest problem with this movie is the language? What's puzzling is that this seems to be a movie with a Chinese background, right?
But more than half of the dialogue is in English. The English we have learned for so many years is really in vain. Look at the people in this film, all of them speak excellent English. Whether they are women living in poverty or ordinary people who have survived, what is even more ridiculous is that even the traitors in the island country can speak fluently. of English. "
"After what the person above said, I finally understand why I feel like something is wrong. It really is!"
"Here, I could speak English so well in that era, but how could I live in the world? That's such nonsense!"
"Don't talk about that era, even in our era, if you speak English so well, then you are at least top-notch in heaven and earth, right?"
"Students, prostitutes, traitors, all of them have at least CET-8 or above in spoken English. Therefore, I feel very inferior after reading it. It seems like my CET-4 English skills are all scum!"
"This movie should be called "On the importance of speaking English in war", or "Learn English well so you can survive in war"!"
As a result, all screenings ended on the first day.
The score of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still 9.4 points, only dropping 0.1 points, while "Flower of War" dropped 0.3 points directly, leaving only 8.1 points!
The most negative review below is the language of "Flowers of War", with more than 60% of the dialogue being in English!
In fact, it doesn’t matter if there are too many English dialogues, but the problem is that this movie is set in China, and most of the characters in it are Chinese. However, the movie gives all Chinese people the buff of “being able to speak English.” This is a bit embarrassing.
In fact, another reason why the ratings dropped so quickly is that at the premiere, when asked why the English dialogues of "Flowers of War" took up so much space, Zhang Changnian said: "You can't see it that way, why don't you want to Think about the English version of "Flowers of War", where the same 40% is Chinese dialogue?"
But his statement was counterproductive.
Not only that, a previously released trailer for "Flower of War" actually intercepted an exciting (harmony) scene in the film.
This has also been criticized by countless movie fans.
Zhang Changnian also panicked when he saw the nearly zero negative reviews for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and the mixed reviews for "Flowers of War."
Especially when the box office results were released on the first day, Zhang Changnian couldn't sit still.
Because the film schedules of "I'm Not a Medicine God" and "Flowers of War" are almost the same, the box office level is the most direct proof.
On the first day of release, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" accounted for 42% of the film schedule, the attendance rate exceeded 20%, and the box office share was as high as 61%!
It earned 168 million at the box office on the first day!
On the other hand, "Flowers of War" accounted for 43% of the film schedule on the first day of release, but its attendance rate was far lower than "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and its box office was only 86 million!
The box office gap between the two is almost double, which is very telling when the films are in the same schedule.
What made Zhang Changnian even more angry was the media reports the next day.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" can almost be said to be a blast.
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" received 168 million votes on its premiere day. Between laughter and tears, the movie became reality!" - Jingnan Morning Post
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" premiered to great reviews: It's been a long time since there's been such a good Chinese reality-themed movie!" - Penguin Entertainment
"'I'm Not the God of Medicine' - Who says you're not a hero if you don't stand in the light?" - "Film Weekly"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine" grossed 168 million at the box office on its first day of release, and a super hit realist movie was born!" - "Southern Weekend"
However, the media reports on "Flowers of War" were obviously biased.
"More than 60% of the English dialogue in "Flowers of War" has been questioned: Does the whole world speak English?" - Beijing News
"The premiere box office of "Flowers of War" was not as good as "I'm Not a Medicine God". Too much English dialogue may be the biggest drawback!" - Penguin Entertainment.
"The trailer for "Flowers of War"'s romantic gimmick was questioned by fans, and the box office was not good on the first day!" - "Contemporary Film Circle"!
Of course, this is not to say that this is all the case. In fact, it is normal for the media to be biased. After all, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" did win the box office championship, and Li Yi has always had a good relationship with the media.
In contrast, Zhang Changnian's relationship with the media is more than just bad.
Every time Li Zhanshan's movie is released and the media reports some negative news, Zhang Changnian is the first to refute it.
Coupled with the big mouth that has been open for many years, it can be said that he has offended everyone he can offend over the years.
Therefore, this is actually the reserved program of the media. Unless it is an option that is not available in the same period, their reports will definitely be biased.
The score of "Flower of War" exceeds 8 points. In fact, overall, Li Zhanshan's strength is still there. But the problem is that Li Zhanshan has been relatively low-key over the years, but he can't stand up to a bad teammate like Zhang Changnian. See Heaven and earth offend people.
So, very quickly, for "I'm Not the God of Medicine", stars and directors began to carry people in fancy sedan chairs.
They all recommended the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" on their official WeChat accounts.
On the other hand, for "Flowers of War", apart from the main creative members, few people took the initiative to help promote and recommend it.
Even many actors and stars who were popularized by Li Zhanshan in his early years remained silent.
In fact, there is a reason for this, because Zhang Changnian quarreled with others, not just his competitors. He went crazy and even quarreled with his own people.
For example, he once publicly criticized Hong Kong's veteran actor Yang Ye by name, saying that he acted like a big name and did not cooperate with publicity.
He also named Chen Wen, saying that Chen Wen graduated from the directing department but became an actor, so he likes to get involved in directing work. He said that he is not professional at all, and even said that if he could decide the actor, he would never choose Chen Wen. Problem actor!
As for the director, he named a lot of people, and many of them were shot even while lying down, such as Li Yi!
Therefore, one can imagine how bad his reputation is in the circle!
Then there are the film critics.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still getting rave reviews here.
Du Xianghai, Li Chui, sounded the first horn of the film review war!
His title borrowed from a lyric in "The Lonely Warrior": "Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?"
"Cheng Yong, I believe that when many people read Cheng Yong's background introduction earlier, they would never have imagined that such a person would become the 'God of Medicine'!
I believe no one would disagree with saying that Cheng Yong in the early days was a complete loser, right?
His ex-wife divorced due to unbearable domestic violence, and his only son will live abroad with his mother. He has no skills and has to make a living by selling Indian sacred oil. As a result, the business is deserted and even the rent has become a problem.
He was not only a loser, but also an unlucky guy. When he was in a state of desperation, his old father was diagnosed with a hemangioma and required surgery.
So he began a desperate career of smuggling Asan Grenin to make money. He said: Life is money!
Yes, those patients who want to live are the source of his money.
After that, he experienced many transformations and finally became the god of medicine. However, everything he did was shady. Smuggling was illegal, and selling fake medicine was also illegal. In the end, he was sentenced for this!
Before he got into the prison car, he asked Cao Bin to tell his son that his father was not a bad person! Yes, he can only pray that his son will not regard him as a bad person, because in the perception of others, those who go to prison are bad people! But is he a hero? Undoubtedly yes! He has spent all his money and wants nothing more! This is the character of a saint. If he is not a hero, who is?
Liu Sihui, played by Chu Xuexiang, is a woman who makes any bloody man willing to fight for her. She is tough and calm, sexy and charming when wearing heavy makeup, and has a distressed and haggard beauty when wearing no makeup. However, she is a dancer. Don't talk about professions that are indistinguishable. If it is true that there is no distinction between high and low in professions, then why did so many people not understand when it was revealed that Chu Xuexiang played a dancer?
But is she a hero? In my opinion, undoubtedly yes!
When my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, her father, the breadwinner of the family, ran away, leaving her orphaned and widowed, and had to bear the sky-high medical expenses.
When Cheng Yong used wads of money to force the bar manager to perform a striptease on Sihui's behalf, Sihui cheered and applauded in the audience with the strength of the wine, with light, fire, and tears in his eyes. The humiliation she had experienced and her unwillingness to fate were all written in this look.
A woman is weak but a mother is strong. For her daughter, she became a dancer standing in the dark and being criticized by others. I think any child, when asked, what does your mother do? I will be proud of my profession as a dancer.
But she gritted her teeth and did it, even though her career was so disgraceful! Even though she was wronged, she still gritted her teeth and persisted! For a mother, she is undoubtedly great. Although she cannot bring the best to her children, she works hard to keep her children alive! Such mothers are not heroes, so who is?
Lu Yiyi, he comes across as timid and weak, but to his family, he is a good husband and a good father!
When he was diagnosed with the disease, his wife was five months pregnant and he thought about committing suicide. Why? Because at that time he didn't want to drag down his wife and children.
But as soon as the child was born, he decided to live well.
He never seemed to think about himself. He had always lived or died for his family!
He didn't want his child to be without a father when he was born, so he chose to live hard, so he would find Cheng Yong, so he would go smuggling and sell medicine. When he found that living would only drag down his children and wife, he resolutely chose Suicide, he lived for hope, and also died for hope. Suicide is certainly not a glorious thing, but it is the only thing he can do for his wife and children!
I think his wife will definitely tell him the story about his father when the child grows up!
Huang Mao, or Peng Hao, although he is humble, although he is ridiculous, and although he is bizarre, he can never forget it, even if it is because of shock or disdain.
The first thing Huang Mao saw was that he was domineering and robbing. Want medicine without money. Then I realized that this person was actually for the weaker and more helpless people. Those people had lost even the strength to moan, and those people's remaining physical strength could no longer make ends meet. So Huang Mao, who was also a patient, helped them rob, or in other words, help them bleed;
Huang Mao's job is that of a butcher, a place where everyone should hide their noses. It was so dirty and messy, but it was the only place where he still had some income. It could even be said that he was the only coordinate point in this reinforced concrete forest.
When Huang Mao said "happy", he probably just wanted to go to jail instead of Brother Yong, or he was so happy that he could start smiling after breaking out of the police roundup. He smiled until the world no longer needed his burning.
The highest praise that can be given to Huang Mao is that he is still a teenager. Physically and mentally, he was damaged in both.
But he always felt that there were many things that he couldn't just sit back and watch. What was more important was that at those moments he flew up and rushed over again and again, without fear of falling.
Everyone should stop blaming or judging his broken body. Everyone should face his fall with awe, without consequences and without fear of cause and effect. He was so broken into pieces, and he just moved forward so indomitably. So, he's never in the light, but he's still a hero!
Pastor Liu, in the movie, he doesn’t even have his full name.
Pastor Liu’s world is very simple. Most people would say: May God bless you. When facing some people, even though there are tens of thousands of them, he will tremble and walk away: You are going to hell.
But what he did was equally disgraceful. He was a member of Cheng Yong's smuggling gang.
Doesn't he know this is illegal? Of course he knows, but he doesn't care.
He just wants patients to be able to get relatively cheap specific medicines, and he just wants more and more people to be able to afford the medicines and relieve their pain. He can count the bills together, and he can even accompany everyone to the nightclub to drink. He has always been a supporting character and has never spoken much.
But there was only one time when everyone was scolding him and walking away from the counterfeit medicine dealer's meeting place. He squeezed onto the podium with difficulty. When the liar thought he was just a dim old man, he set up a stage and waited for him to perform with smiles on his face. The pastor, who had always been docile, became angry with so many security guards and liars just like Moses faced the heretics: You will go to hell if you do this.
In the end, Brother Yong proposed to break up the group. He was not too surprised, let alone angry. He just looked like this, finally, he was still so indifferent. He picked up the wine glass: The original owner bless you. He will indeed be disappointed, but he will not just tell Brother Yong: You will go to hell.
Because even God cannot save his believers, how can he expect a mortal?
Pastor Liu speaks English and is gentle and elegant. If it hadn't been for the one and only Vajra glare, we would have even felt that this person had already become calm and calm. It can be said that there is no such thing as calm and calm. What we can only see is that the angry eyes of King Kong have been crushed in life, but they are still alive and well.
As a priest, Pastor Liu knows the law and breaks the law. He also does not stand in the light. His actions have even betrayed his faith, but he has no hesitation! He is no longer the most devout believer, but he is also a hero! "
