Although it had been predicted for a long time, Li Yi's movie could not be as bad as they hoped.
However, although the overall quality of a movie like "Wolf Warrior" is not as good as Li Yi's earlier high-scoring movies, its popularity is not weak at all.
To put it bluntly, the biggest reason why the movie "Wolf Warrior" has been so hotly discussed after its premiere is still because of patriotism and because it is a domestic hero film.
If the faces of this movie were Hollywood stars, then this would be an ordinary popcorn movie at best.
But for domestic movies, this is already above the standard.
After all, just like some emotional resonance, it is really irreplaceable.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the smoke of the Spring Festival film and television industry begins to fill the air.
Movies released during the Spring Festival have begun to receive comprehensive coverage and promotion.
However, what was supposed to come came.
At first, some people felt that after the premiere of "Wolf Warrior", the public reputation seemed to be not that good after all.
But when the box office was released on New Year's Day, it shocked everyone who felt that Li Yi's movie was a bit substandard this time.
In fact, during the Spring Festival, it is almost impossible to schedule movies to crush other movies like other schedules, especially the first day of the new year.
Because who is not a key project?
Even with Li Yi's reputation, the film schedule of "Wolf Warrior" is not much higher than that of other movies.
Even, it is not ranked first.
But after the box office results came out, people were sighing, the big devil is still the big devil, and your uncle is still your uncle.
With a first-day box office of 320 million, it ranked first. Although "Emergency" also received a box office of 230 million, the popularity between the two is completely different.
In fact, after the release of "Wolf Warrior", not only did its reputation not rise, but it plummeted on many movie review platforms.
A lot of people didn't like this movie.
"Director Dog is rich and willful. This movie is all about him realizing his dream of a little pink hero, with all kinds of equipment taking turns, regardless of physical logic. The only difference from the drama is probably that he is more famous! Anyway, it’s a film with a serious lewd theme at best!”
"The action scenes are good, but the plot is completely weak. I used to think that Director Gou was a rising star in Chinese-language films, but now I realize that he is no different from those people!"
"How can a movie like this have such a high box office? The level of domestic moviegoers is really low!"
Wait, wait, there are actually a lot of bad reviews.
But unable to hold on, "Wolf Warrior" took off at the box office, and the box office gap on the first day was actually the smallest.
Then, some fans came forward to give their own opinions.
Let me tell you why "Wolf Warrior" can get such high box office, and why it can still get such dazzling results even though it seems to be constantly complained about.
"To be honest, I personally am not very interested in movies and TV series. Occasionally I will watch something that I like, and only if I think it is good will it benefit the people around me.
I heard about Wolf Warriors online and took my mother to see it. Even she, who rarely goes to the theater once a year, said it was good. After watching it, we both wanted to watch it again and again. We thought it was so exciting. !
I think we should be the majority of passers-by who contributed to the box office this time!
In the past, there were ticket reimbursements, and I could watch a movie for a few dollars, and I accepted the bad parts.
Now you pay tens of dollars to watch a piece of garbage? I might as well go have a nice meal!
And I don’t understand the current director’s thinking. Either he is mentally retarded and how to shoot. The plot of a bunch of silly, sweet and overbearing presidents is really eye-catching!
Or it’s just obscure and difficult to understand and how to shoot, making it look like you are highly artistic.
Let me talk about my feelings. I am not a movie expert, I am just an ordinary viewer, but I think this movie is good. What is good about it?
Counting the number of characters that people can remember, I am actually surprised that in an action movie, so many small characters are so flesh and blood, including profiteers, aunts and sons, veterans, rich second generation, and the little girl Sasha. Although he doesn't appear much, who is not flesh and blood? The characters stand up. Even the strong man and the female villain have no lines about love, no ambiguous and passionate scenes, not even a few lines, but everyone can tell that they are a couple, and they are naturally not artificial.
The country's rebel chiefs and slain leaders are also remembered. There are also captains and officers in the warship command room. Most of them have backgrounds without lines, but their expressions and tears are naturally in place. Even passers-by A, B, and C don't make people laugh. The emotions expressed by these large and small characters can be found in you, me and the people around you. This is resonance.
After reading some movie reviews, they said that we are not allowed to say that this movie is bad, and that those who like this kind of movie are just little pinks. I was really drunk.
I don’t know since when, “patriotism”, a quality that is highly respected in every country in the world, has become an unspeakable thing in our country. If you say you are patriotic on the Internet, you will be scolded 50 cents; if you say China is good on the Internet, you will be scolded 50 cents; if you say you are patriotic in front of your friends, some people will look at you strangely.
In the film industry, even a movie that reflects the power of Chinese people will be labeled "main theme" -> "five cents" -> "patriotic thief". I don’t know since when, patriotism has been called a “thief”. If the Americans save the earth, they are normal. If the Chinese save the earth, they are weird, thematic, and patriotic. Think about the films made by Chinese directors in the past. If you want to get recognition from foreigners, there is only one way to do it, and that is to sell poorly.
All I can say is that Wolf Warrior is one of the few movies that can poke people’s g-spots. No matter how good the Hollywood movie is, it's not the Chinese g-spot that they're touching.
Many people clamor for art without borders, and then confuse it with g-spot without borders.
So, I am Chinese, and I like to watch Wolf Warrior, because it can hit my emotional g-spot and give me an emotional resonance. There are a few scenes that can make me burst into tears, so I Go see this movie, I will also recommend this movie to friends and family, here's why! "
Similarly, many people lamented about Wolf Warrior: "When I saw what those movie reviews said, if criticism is not free, praise is meaningless. I was really speechless. Earlier, those who didn't watch Wolf Warrior were unpatriotic. You guys So smart, can't you tell that your competitor is going in a bad direction?
But those of you who claim to be smart people choose to turn a blind eye. Every time you mention these things, it seems that public opinion insists on forcing you to watch this movie, and you seem to be kidnapped by morality.
Please, we are all adults, can we really not see such a low-level black person?
No, it’s just a matter of selective blindness and selective ignorance.
If you still don’t feel free to criticize, who won’t let you criticize? This is how double standards come about. You criticize yours and I praise mine. Does it matter whether it makes sense or not? "
