Chapter 1111

In fact, many domestic audiences really don't have very high requirements for movies.

For commercial blockbusters, you need to have the excitement of commercial blockbusters. In "Dangerous Couple", you have everything you should have, although the plot is actually very routine, and the routine is relatively old.

But it made the audience watch it with gusto, why?Because of handsome men and beautiful women, because of the way of fighting, because of the final showdown, in fact, there are not many big scenes in this film, and even many audiences don't care too much about these things. What do they care about?
What they like is that in a dangerous relationship, being hunted down, and in daily life, the couple's various witty confrontations seem particularly interesting.

Of course, it is impossible to say that the reputation of this movie is against the sky. After all, this is just a commercial action movie without much connotation, but this way of putting old wine in new bottles is quite pleasing .

In fact, these days, there are not no truly innovative films, but after all, after more than a hundred years of development, films have already formed a very mature industrial system. Sometimes innovation is indeed a bright spot, but innovation often means adventure.

Because you don't know whether this innovation can be recognized by most people. If not, it will be difficult to pay back the high investment.

Therefore, this is why, at this stage, many people feel that the current new movies are not as good as those old movies in the past.

If you observe carefully, you will find that almost most of the big productions of movies nowadays are relatively old-fashioned plots, with a layer of other skins on them, but audiences just like them.

However, the same will also make complaints, and the current movies are all a routine.

On the contrary, in some low-budget films, you often see some innovative things, which are actually very simple. If you don’t innovate in low-budget films, what will you use to attract the audience?

However, big productions with high costs and large investments often dare not take risks, so why most big productions are adapted movies rather than original movies.

Because of the old routine, no matter how old the routine is, at least the risk is lower. Although it may be difficult to have a big explosion, it is better than stability.

As for innovative films, if one mistakenly loses everything, it involves hundreds of millions of investments.

The National Day schedule, thanks to Li Zhongzheng's skipped tickets, resulted in no blockbuster films being released in this schedule, which gave "Dangerous Couple" a relatively relaxed environment, but the first day of "Dangerous Couple" was not too high.

Because although there are no blockbuster movies, the newly released mid-budget movies in this year's National Day file seem to be clustered together. Although the schedule of each movie is not too high, they still account for a considerable proportion.

Of course, the market is where the fittest survive. Some of these films may explode, while others may collapse.

The word-of-mouth of "Dangerous Couple" is considered good among commercial films, especially the audience's evaluation of this film is quite high.

"It's very exciting. I like the scene of being hunted down the most. It's so fun."

"Lin Xiao is Lin Xiao, and your uncle is your uncle. No matter how old-fashioned the story is, it can be played with new tricks."

"I want to say, what kind of killer couple are these? Not many!"

"Haha, it's funny and exciting, and it also has some things that can't be said lightly, which is interesting."

"Am I the only one who thinks that this movie is actually all kinds of metaphors for real marriage? For example, isn't the organization behind the husband and wife a metaphor for the mother's family behind each other? And the battle scene between the two at home, no It is a metaphor for married life, which is like a hail of bullets, and the husband and wife can eventually reconcile no matter what, but once the natal family forces behind it intervene, it will often destroy the family."

"The rhythm is very good, and there is no urine point in the whole process!"

"As a popcorn movie, "Dangerous Couple" definitely exceeded expectations. Many people say that it is old wine in a new bottle, but in fact, the mode of this movie itself is different from other popcorn movies. I think This level of innovation is already full of sincerity.”

In terms of evaluation, the audience is still relatively merciful. In other words, most audiences in China actually have a relatively high tolerance for movies. For some minor flaws, as long as the movie does not have too many problems in general, they often Neither are too harsh.

What's interesting is that "Dangerous Couple" has rarely received a lot of praise in terms of film critics' evaluations and media evaluations.

This is really rare. You know, purely commercial films are not very popular most of the time, but what is rare this time is that many film critics gave this film good reviews.

"The so-called connotation of the film!" This is the film review of Lin Jun, a senior film critic.

As a relatively authoritative and influential film critic among domestic film critics, Lin Jun's film criticism still has a lot of influence.

"Film is the art of light and shadow, audio-visual art, but it is not limited to this!"

"As a film critic, I have also been thinking about how to evaluate the quality of a movie. Maybe when we treat different movies, we need to look at them from different angles."

"For a literary film, its audience is not the general public, so when we evaluate it, we can focus on highlighting what the film wants to show and reflect, as well as some cruel truths hidden deep in it. "

"Literary and artistic films are usually directors' subjective films, which represent the director's views and opinions on a certain matter."

"But when it comes to commercial films, should we have a different benchmark for our judging criteria, our perspective, and the content of our evaluation?"

"There was a time when I couldn't help doubting our profession as a film critic, because as long as a film with a high box office is basically given a low professional evaluation, it seems to have become a norm nowadays."

"So the role of our film critics has lost the role it should have?"

"So, from then on, I started to use the eyes of an audience, to watch this kind of movie from the audience's point of view, and to give evaluations."

"I think this is probably the fairest. Literary films and commercial films have different audiences. One is a minority and the other is the general public. Then the angle of film criticism should also be different."

"So what kind of movie is a good movie?"

"I have always believed that, aside from some professional aspects of film criticism, a film that can tell a good story is a qualified film. On this basis, comedy can make people laugh, tragedy, It’s a good movie that makes people cry, sad, action movies, makes people watch adrenaline rush.”
