This director only makes bad movies

As a film critic, Tao Heng has read countless films and has his own judgment on movies.

This scene of the Taotie attacking the Great Wall is gorgeous and shocking, and the special effects are absolutely incredible. It was created by a Hollywood team.

But the war scenes are a bit strange, especially the army's armor, which is colorful, and the way of killing Taotie is also strange.

Those who like it will like it very much, but those who don't like it may find it a bit of a joke.

Anyway, Tao Heng couldn't understand why Zhang Yange wanted to make the army's colors so gorgeous and colorful.

Is this necessary?

Is this the unique aesthetics of a great director?

Tao Heng had a strange feeling like watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The movie continues.

The imprisoned William and Perot were released in the chaos by a Westerner like them. They participated in the Great Wall Counterattack and used their superb skills to kill several gluttons.

After the war, they were temporarily trusted by the Forbidden Army and their freedom was restored.

The Westerner who had freed them before appeared, his name was Ballard.

Ballard came to the East also to find the formula of black powder, but unfortunately he was caught by the Forbidden Army and trapped here.

He told William and Perrault that he had successfully learned the recipe for black powder, but was unable to leave the Great Wall, and hoped that the two of them could help him.

Next, there is a literary drama. After the actor Matt Damon got along with Lin Mei again, the two people actually developed feelings and began to fall in love ambiguously.

Seeing this, Tao Heng frowned.

If the previous plot just made him feel something was wrong, then this plot was an out-and-out failure in Tao Heng's opinion.

Let’s not talk about the emotional drama between these two people. The key point is that you let a foreigner fall in love with the well-known national goddess, the super white and rich Meilin Hongxiu.

Who can feel comfortable after seeing this? Is there no one left in the country?

Some people may not care, but some people will definitely feel uncomfortable.

This plot is bound to cause controversy and will dissuade many people.

The movie continues.

The Taotie monster is extremely terrifying and feeds on humans. It appears once every sixty years. The Great Wall is the only line of defense to protect the Taotie.

If this line of defense is breached, the people will become food and suffer heavy casualties.

During the fierce battle, the general played by the famous domestic actor Zhang Hanyu died. In the dark night, all the troops covered themselves with white cloth, stood on the Great Wall, and released Kongming lanterns together to pay homage to the general.

Tao Heng frowned.

Although this was a very pessimistic and heroic scene, he didn't feel moved at all?

Zhang Yange's handling here is a bit rough.

Next, the military counselor played by Andy Lau discovered Taotie's weakness. It turned out that Taotie was afraid of magnets. In the beginning, William was able to cut Taotie because he had magnets on him.

In order to verify this conjecture, they needed to capture a Taotie alive. In the process of capturing the Taotie alive, William could have taken advantage of the chaos and left with the formula of black powder, but he gave up.

Later, the Shadowless Forbidden Army used the captured Taotie to successfully verify the military advisor's conjecture. It turned out that magnets could really suppress Taotie.

Just when the Forbidden Army was happy about the news, a discovery made them frightened.

It turned out that Taotie had secretly dug a passage under the Great Wall and was heading towards the capital city of Bianliang.

At this critical moment of life and death, Lin Mei, played by Lin Hongxiu, took William, the military counselor, and a dozen soldiers on a Kongming lantern and flew all the way to Bianliang to fight Taotie.

But the number of Taotie was too great, and they couldn't resist it at all.

Seeing that Bianliang was about to become a hell on earth and a gluttonous canteen, the military strategist came up with a way.

It turns out that there is a Beast King in the Taotie. As long as the Beast King is killed, all the Taotie will die.

In order to kill the Beast King, they decided to tie gunpowder to the Taotie they had captured before, and then released it to let it go find the Beast King.

The plan went very smoothly. After Taotie was released, he acted instinctively and took the initiative to find the Beast King. At the critical moment, the protagonist William detonated the mole Taotie who was full of explosives with an arrow, killing the Beast King.

After the death of the Beast King, other Taotie fell down one after another, and this terrible disaster finally ended.

In the end, the protagonist William did not choose to stay at the Great Wall with General Lin Mei played by Lin Hongxiu, nor did he choose to take away the black powder formula that he had always wanted. Instead, he chose to leave the Great Wall with his friends and wander around the world.

At this point, the movie ends and the lights in the screening room come on.

"It's okay, it's quite shocking."

“Seeing so many big names is worth the price of admission.”

"What are you doing? Didn't the promotion say that this is a magic masterpiece with ancient costumes? The whole process is full of Western magic, and I don't feel any ancient culture at all."

"The colors are gorgeous and there are many big scenes."

"Just so-so."

The response from the audience was pretty good. After all, it is the work of the great director Zhang Yange. It was created by Hollywood's top special effects team. The quality is definitely not low, and the lineup is also gorgeous. It is definitely worth watching.

But if you want to say it's wonderful, it doesn't seem to be enough.

Anyway, Tao Heng felt weird the whole time.

He had a hunch that the movie would be quite controversial.

During National Day, there are many people watching movies.

Soon, there were reviews of the two movies on the Internet.

Netizens generally praised "The Beginning".

"It exploded. This movie really exploded."

"Hold your breath the whole time, for fear of breaking the tense and exciting atmosphere."

"From the first reincarnation to the last reincarnation, every death makes people's hearts tremble."

"The best domestic suspense film, from the first death to the last awakening, every moment makes people tense and breathless."

"This is the first time I saw such a dazzling heroine. Li Shiqing was a weak little girl, but she was brave and resourceful. She worked with Xiao Heyun to investigate the passengers on the car, and every time she paid the price with her own life, but she never gave up. , until the last turning point."

"To be honest, when the pressure cooker auntie stabbed Xiao Heyun's body with a knife for the last time, my heart also died."

"Fortunately, the director didn't choose to issue a knife, otherwise I would have been really angry."

"It's hard to imagine that this is a movie made by Xu Nan. I even suspected that I had watched a fake movie."

"Who says it's not? Before I started watching the movie, I thought it was just another bad movie. I wanted to do something different for the National Day, but I was shocked by the content of the movie."

"Believe it or not, I even watched the movie three times in a row in order to understand the details."

"This is the best National Day movie, bar none."

On the other hand, the movie "The Great Wall" also received good reviews, but it was also somewhat controversial.

"The scenes are gorgeous, the cast is gorgeous, and almost every character is a famous movie star. It's a wonderful movie."

"My family Yuanyuan contributed wonderful performances in it, and everyone must support it."

"My little deer also gave a wonderful performance. Please support me."

"How should I put it? The colors are gorgeous, the visual effects are also very good, and the modeling of Taotie is also very exquisite, but I still feel that it is not enough."

"A good popcorn movie, the lineup alone is worth the price of admission."

"I watched this movie because of the stars in it. It turns out that this movie is still very exciting."

"Haha, in the two-hour plot, Lin Hongxiu and a female general accounted for more than half of the plot, more than Matt Damon, the Hollywood actor. So many big names just want to praise Lin Hongxiu. She is indeed a top white So rich and beautiful.”

"Zhang Yange was able to perfectly combine the Olympic opening ceremony with a magical blockbuster. Everyone should really applaud."

"There are so many things I don't have room to complain about. I won't go into why the protagonist is in love with Lin Hongxiu. I just want to ask how Taotie could dig such a long tunnel from the ground. They are all excavators."

"It's still worth watching. The big scenes and stars alone are worth the price of admission. As for the plot, the beholder has a different opinion."

The media did not miss the good opportunity of the holiday and seized the time to report.

"The Great Wall" held the largest premiere in history, with many stars appearing in costumes. 》

"Start to be launched in a low-key manner, is Xu Nan brewing something?" 》

"Fans of popular celebrities such as Lin Hongxiu and Lu Han raised funds to book movie theaters for people to watch. 》

"The Beginning VS The Great Wall, who will win at the box office on the first day?" 》

"Zhang Yange promises to break the first-day box office record. 》

"The Great Wall" received rave reviews, and the audience said it was wonderful. 》

"Audience: I couldn't breathe when I watched the beginning. 》

During the National Day holiday, it was a long-lost time to relax. All parts of the country were very lively and people were having fun.

The attention of the entertainment industry is focused on several popular movies.

"The proportion of films scheduled for "The Great Wall" is so high, more than half. I haven't encountered this situation for a long time."

"It doesn't matter how strong their lineup is."

"The premiere of "The Great Wall" was even more exaggerated. Everyone in the entertainment industry who had any significance went there. There are not so many people at the film festival."

"I just went to the cinema, and 80% of the people were watching "The Great Wall." The first-day box office of this movie will definitely not be low, and it may break the record."

"Where's the beginning?"

"I just finished watching it. The quality is explosive. It is definitely the best domestic suspense film ever. Xu Nan really changed my impression of him this time."

"Brother, are you kidding me? How can the quality of Xu Nan's movies be so good?"

""The Beginning" is indeed well received on the Internet, even Zhang Yange's "The Great Wall" cannot compare."

"I don't believe that the quality of Xu Nan's movies will be good. I guess the good reviews are just false."

"Comments on the Internet can only be used as a reference. There is too much water. If you want to know whether the movie is good or bad, you still have to look at the box office."

"Yes, public opinion can deceive people, but box office cannot. Audiences paying real money to watch movies are more convincing than anything else."

"Just look at the first-day box office. Once the first-day box office comes out, everything will be clear. There is no point in arguing now."
