China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 185 We have better science fiction movies

"Chen Jingxing proposed a concept that few people dare to imagine, and presented it to the audience with a very high degree of completion. This is a perfect commercial movie" - "Sina News"

""Source Code", like Chen Jingxing's previous films, wins with creativity and conquers the audience with solid innovation and imagination. From it, you can clearly feel the director's strong desire for expression, both in light, shadow and lens.

His own breakthrough." - "Penguin Entertainment"

"Chen Jingxing used poetic lens language to tell a complex and brain-burning story, and the actors' performances were impeccable. Hu Ge gave his best big-screen role. This is the best domestic film this year." -

—"1905 Movie Network"

"Chen Jingxing has not failed. His strong and vigorous creative talent shows no sign of decline. He is now the best commercial film director in China, perhaps none." - "Huaguo News Network"

Almost all the media participating in the premiere gave full praise, and at the same time, the entertainment section was also occupied by Chen Jingxing's "frivolous speech" - there is no doubt that the interesting movie-watching experience could not stop the reporters from rushing to the page.

idea.

"Chen Jingxing's tone is a bit sour? His box office record of 1.9 billion is just average."

"Chen Jingxing boldly promised to break the box office record of "Young Avengers" within one year"

"Chen Jingxing believes that "Young Avengers" is a nutritious fast food movie and calls on Chinese people to support domestic movies" - it seems that this is an article with a title that has nothing to do with the content.

"At the premiere, Chen Jingxing's optimistic statement shocked all the actors?"

"Chen Jingxing hinted that "Source Code" will surpass "Young Avengers" at the box office?"

The scenes and production of "The Signal" are much larger, but it has not had any friction with superhero blockbusters in the film market. On the contrary, the biggest competitor is domestic films. Naturally, everyone can't wait to step into the bad domestic films.

One kick.

And "Young Avengers" is indeed not a seamless story. Whether it is the appearance of a generation of Iron Man as a "father" - including the classic role as the nurturer of the young Avengers, a generation of Iron Man remains anonymous and is forced to pretend to be a pig.

The dramatic plot of eating a tiger and then putting on the suit again - or the Young Avengers' fathers appearing extensively in the flashbacks - all show the producers' naked intention to serve feelings as the main course on the table.

All these have given netizens who can't stand "Young Avengers" an excuse to attack. Moreover, the movie that shot the first one off and set a box office record in film history will itself cause many people to put on colored glasses and find faults.

Although many media are reporting on this matter, the news headlines are all about changing the soup without changing the medicine. Chen Jingxing "believes that the box office record of 1.9 billion set by "Young Avengers" will be broken within one year, and it will be broken by a domestic film."

as the focus of the report.

"Breaking the box office record in film history within one year, is Chen Jingxing confident or arrogant?"

"Source Code" is first and foremost a science fiction movie. Although the scene is relatively fixed and narrow, it is densely packed with high-concept ideas and has a more exciting and compact story rhythm. It also introduces the military, terrorist organizations, train explosions and the destruction of metropolises.

The trailer has explosive background settings, which makes the audience ignore the cramped scenes, and the viewing experience is more blockbuster-like than that of "The Signal".

Netizens who didn’t like superhero movies in the past responded to questions like “Who do you think the people like you are?”, “Douban’s Imdb score is much higher than that of domestic movies. Of course, the audience will watch good movies rather than bad ones.” “The whole world likes you.

I don’t like useless things”, “The science fiction movies they make are just good-looking, you can make them too if you have the skills”, etc. It is impossible to organize an effective counterattack.

"Source Code" is Chen Jingxing's first time to compete head-on with a superhero blockbuster in theaters, even though it was released for more than 20 days.

"1.9 billion, not bad, one year" has even become a new Internet meme, and has also been made into a ghost video. It has also caused a dispute between superhero movie fans and netizens who don't like superhero movies on major forums.

Another round of scolding.

And the premiere interview video of "1.9 billion? Not bad." and "When will it break? Well, one year." are also ranked second on the hot search list. The kind of non-concern emanating from the bones,

And the tone in which he paused deliberately and seemed to have thought carefully before answering "maybe a year" naturally revealed a strong sense of ridicule in the eyes of netizens.

The release of "Source Code" and Chen Jingxing's controversial remarks naturally triggered a debate on the Internet. From the perspective of box office PK - "Source Code" has no advantage. Even Chen Jingxing's fans only paid tribute to "one year"

"Ba" refers not to "Source Code" but to other domestic movies.

Movie, after all, 1.9 billion makes the current Chinese people look up to it - when it comes to the PK of movie quality Douban score, "Source Code" still has the upper hand. The movie's score of 9.0 is higher than "Young Avengers", and "Young Avengers"

"Avengers" indeed consumes a lot of water in the emotional score.

When "Comet" and "Fatal Identity" became popular, first of all, they did not compete with blockbusters in theaters. Secondly, the cost was too low. They were small-budget creative movies. Although they were considered science fiction movies, no one really took them.

As a reference for comparison with blockbusters, after all, the gap in level and size is too big.

And this did have a miraculous effect. With a story that is not even top-notch among superhero movies, "Young Avengers" not only set a box office record in Chinese film history, but also received an 8.9 score on Douban, even after it was released.

It’s still 8.5 points after more than 20 days.

All of this has allowed netizens who have never been used to watching superhero movies to find a stick with which to suppress "Young Avengers" - they may not be supporters of domestic movies, but "Young Avengers" has been super popular for a month.

The strong sense of presence, as well as the frequent and ubiquitous discussions and screen surfing by fans have caused many people to feel rebellious.

Then the debate progressed to the fight over the concept and definition of science fiction, what is hard science fiction and soft science fiction, comic book movies are simply fantasy, etc. This old topic that has been discussed countless times has been brought up again.

But with the high reputation of "Source Code" and the several science fiction movies produced by Chen Jingxing in the past year or so, the hard science fiction school and netizens who think that superhero movies are simply fantasy fast food and not excellent science fiction movies are more confident.

, and prevailed to a certain extent.

After all, there were no outstanding science fiction films in domestic films before. You are short of breath no matter how many arguments you make. You can no longer tolerate superhero movies and criticize them as popcorn. The problem is that you can't even make popcorn.

But this time, with the support of "Source Code" and Chen Jingxing's previous films, netizens who hold this view are really proud. I just look down on you, because we have better science fiction films.
