China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 555 Polarization

The 2020 Chinese New Year season did not exceed most media and forecasts after it started, and it almost stably formed a situation of two super teams and multiple top teams.

"Fenghuo Yunshan" and "Interstellar" are the second super, with Happy Twist's "Desperate Househusband" and two animated movies being the stronger ones.

"War in the Mountains" is a major tribute film to the National Film Festival, and it is also the first Korean War film to be released. Of course, it is a bit early to release it 20 years ago.

However, we have to consider that there are quite a few tribute films in production and completed in the past two years.

Counting only the tribute films to the Korean War, excluding TV series and small and medium-budget films, there are quite a few industrial-level blockbusters produced by the six major companies. DreamWorks alone has three films, including two of Chen Jingxing's "1951"

"Li Yannian" by Hetian Xinye.

There are also "King Kong River" about the Battle of Jincheng produced by Beijing Film Studio, and "Shangganling" and "Changjin Lake" by National Film and other three major studios.

In addition, there are many films dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The relatively heavyweight Ning Hao as the chief director talked about the struggle of young people in building a new China and reforming "My Youth and Me", and the air combat film "Me and My Youth" starring Luo Chen.

"King of the Sky" and "Spike III" currently being filmed by DreamWorks.

And it can’t all be a gift, movies with other themes will also be released.

This kind of industrial-level blockbusters usually require a good schedule, or a good schedule can allow these blockbusters, which cost 5 to 6 billion to 7 to 8 billion, to recoup their costs and even make money with lower risks.

China is also a strong schedule market, and there are only so many good schedules in a year. In fact, the National Film Festival took advantage of the fact that it moved "Beacon Fire and Cloud Mountain" to the Spring Festival in 2020, taking advantage of the fact that the project was established early and the filming was fast.

But it is true that the reputation of his movies has been getting higher and higher in the past two years, with basically all scores exceeding 9 points.

Some people lament that Chen Jingxing is becoming more and more evil. He is completely different from most literary and artistic creators. Most literary and artistic creators either debut or reach their peak. Their best works mainly appear in the early stages of creation, and they often go downhill later.

After all, Chen Jingxing's two previous films were "Inception" and "The Matrix III". "Inception" is still the highest-scoring Chinese film in the past thirty years. It has been released for more than a year, and it still has a score of 9.4 on Douban.

However, Douban’s subsequent score of 9.3 still surprised many people.

But no matter what some more inclined netizens think about Chen Jingxing's tendency to "drive low and go high" in recent years, and his increasingly monstrous film productions, the film market is still mainly supported by passers-by.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen unexpectedly.

The scripts for "The Matrix III" and "Inception" were revised and used after they were released.

The reviews from film critics and the public did not make "Interstellar"'s Douban rating appear overly favorable.

Coupled with the support of stars headed by Lei Jiayin and the strong promotion of National Film, the film schedule of "Feng Huo Yun Shan" is slightly higher than that of "Interstellar".

The number of movie fans and fans has also become more and more devout since then, with an astonishing growth rate.

There are indeed some subtle differences in concepts between Chinese audiences and European and American audiences on this point, and they are quite disgusted with narratives that are relatively white and leftist.

For example, the family drama is a bit too lengthy. If it weren't for Chen Jingxing's signature style, people might not have the patience to continue watching.

Simply put, China Film Group is also the main producer of "Interstellar", otherwise the film schedule would be even more suppressed.

A very hard-core scientific but extremely delicate story. Those who say this bug or that bug should watch it a few more times. There are also actor-level performances. Factory Flowers simply impressed me. Chen Jingxing’s cake is the best cake. I won’t accept it.

refute!

And one of the best movie soundtracks ever, I went home and played it all night.

In fact, most of the audience just wants to watch a lively, exciting plot, and the visual effects are guaranteed to be big scenes that don't stretch the hips, so ordinary audiences are satisfied.

The reputation of "Interstellar" did not exceed the expectations of the media and audiences.

“…the reputation is overwhelming”

There are even many viewers who believe that this is the fault of DreamWorks. From "Mekong" to "Spike II" and then to "Operation Red Sea", the action movie routines of the military action trilogy were copied by the war tribute film.

It makes real war look like a special action movie.

So "Yunshan" probably has a score of 7 to 7.5.

By then, those who defend Chen Jingxing, those who criticize Chen Jingxing, loyal movie fans and arrogant netizens who have always disliked Jingxing fans, and the debates about the movie will be enough to create a feast of public opinion, and how many marketing accounts and new media practitioners can be supported.

"Please forgive me for "Inception," I am a person who likes the new but hates the old. This is the best movie I have ever seen.

As a director, Chen Jingxing, even if there are so-called rival directors provoked by irrational fans, such as Ning Hao, Ang Lee, Cameron, etc., the fans of these directors are not popular, or in other words, how can a normal director have as many fans as Chen Jingxing.

Those who like it can't wait to enshrine it on the altar, and even think it is Chen Jingxing's best movie.

If Fusarium wilt is not a virus, but a genetic mutation, but genetic mutations are random, it would be a bit unreasonable for all plants to have directional genetic mutations that cause Fusarium wilt.

"The Matrix III" is considered by many fans to be the pinnacle of the Matrix series, with a score of 9.1 on Douban, the same as the first film.

However, there are still a few viewers who complain that "Cloud Mountain" still commits the old problems of this genre. The characters in the movie seem to have not learned discipline and political common sense, as if they have directly transplanted the US military from Hollywood movies.

However, with last year's "Eight Hundred Revelations", this group of viewers who are more demanding are not too embarrassed to criticize "Yunshan" too much. Compared with Crooked Butt, this problem of "Yunshan" does not seem to matter.

So serious.

Plants wither and become extinct, and oxygen disappears. Can humans also produce artificial oxygen by electrolyzing water?

No matter what, it is normal for humans to suffer heavy losses due to blight, but it is still too far-fetched to make humans extinct.

And Chen Jingxing can be said to have opened low and gone high. Although this "open low" is a bit exaggerated, after all, his first movie "Comet" still has a score of 8.7.

The vocabulary that is almost tied to Chen Jingxing's movies was once again "copied and pasted" by editors of major media outlets.

If Fusarium wilt is a virus, isolating crops and viruses can be achieved on earth without pushing humans to a dead end. Besides, artificial starch is more realistic than science fiction technology such as cracking the gravity equation.

I was shocked that this score almost caught up with "Inception" and far exceeded "Gravity" and "The Martian".

But the editor who has watched the movie can still praise it with reason.

“rave reviews”

However, reviews for this final chapter of the space trilogy are somewhat polarized.

Of course, some people think this is the reason why Chen Jingxing has more and more fans and is becoming more and more obsessed.

Compared with the original version, first of all, the blight was replaced by solar expansion - he really felt that the setting problem of the blight was a bit big.

"Kingshen is a movie directed for your brain to expand your understanding of time. Any rating below a 9 is bullshit."

In addition to such praise-worthy reviews, there are also some slightly disappointing reviews of the film.

Is human nature the shackles that keep humans from leaving the earth?

There is also 'Don't go gentle into the good night'. This poem runs through the entire space trilogy. Every time I hear it, I have a new understanding. It's amazing."

Some people think that the movie has a bit of a "love can generate electricity" feeling, and it overextends the element of emotion, relying on love to save the world.

Some people also think that the final ending is a bit deus ex machina, forcing a five-dimensional civilization to complete the male protagonist's father-daughter relationship. Even if this five-dimensional civilization is the future of mankind, it still feels a bit far-fetched and nonsense.

"Director Chen is amazing. Other film series are all starting at the beginning and ending at the end. He did the opposite. "The Matrix III" is the best in the series, and "Interstellar" is also the best in the space trilogy, and it directly sublimates the entire space series."

In layman's terms, I feel that Chen Jingxing's fans have indeed maintained their Douban accounts. In a sense, they are not fundamentally different from the traffic fans who have experienced an upsurge in maintaining accounts in recent years.

The Chinese film industry is now moving towards industrialization. The advantage of industrialization is that industrial films on the assembly line have mature routines and sufficient visual effects technology to implement big scenes, which ensures that it will not be a bad film.

"I think "Interstellar" is like a beautiful poem. The emotional line, characterization and science fiction concepts are all perfectly integrated to the peak, surpassing all Director Chen's previous films.

Although "Yunshan" is indeed, as Lei Jiayin and Chen Jingxing said, the preparation and production were a bit rushed, mainly reflected in the roughness of the narrative, the visual effects and grand scenes are not realistic, and the battle scenes are very intense.

Because humans did not solve the blight disease from the beginning to the end of the original version, even if they eventually moved to the space city, why wouldn’t crops be blighted? Are crops grown on habitable alien planets free from blight?

“…all positive reviews”

Although Director Chen Da gained a reputation as a genius when he debuted, it was not until "Gravity" that he truly established his status as a master. He also officially got rid of the style of early small and medium-cost science fiction sketches and embarked on the career of heavy industry science fiction blockbusters.

the way.

However, there are not many such criticisms, because Chen Jingxing took this into consideration during the sinicization process.

If we really want to design a disaster that will start slowly and leave humans with no choice but to become extinct, solar expansion is obviously more reliable than blight.

The character of Lei Datou is so shocking. This villain is not only unexpected, but also terrifying.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing's movies in recent years basically receive a large number of five-star reviews from fans before they are released, which is also the reason why they are criticized by some people.

The somewhat malicious joke "Douban's surname is Chen" has appeared on the Internet for a long time, and many people agree with it as it spreads.

"Scientists will debate, theologians will think, and philosophers will be curious. It has exceeded my best imagination of space movies."

Moreover, the traffic fans have raised their accounts, and the black ones have also raised their accounts, and the war between pink and black has just offset it.

Although the story is a bit complicated and mind-numbing, it makes you think deeply about the universe and family, and it is a masterpiece that I can read over and over again."

Secondly, the character of Lei Jiayin was transformed. In the original version, Lei Jiayin was actually a completely cowardly, selfish, despicable, relatively simple villain who found a noble reason for himself.

The battalion commander played by Lei Jiayin is as cool as an American soldier. He speaks like a brother, but there is no "comrades or soldiers". It is basically a replica of the template of successful Hollywood war movies. It does not show why we can win, just watch

The protagonist’s aura and natural bravery have arrived.

Taking a step back, if it is a genetic disease caused by gravitational anomalies, does the gravity of the space city have normal? The gravity of the planet close to the black hole on the other side of the wormhole is normal?

In terms of word-of-mouth, the two first movies did not have any big surprises.

Although there are indeed many people and many media secretly looking forward to Chen Jingxing's failure - in a sense, Chen Jingxing's new movie's bad reputation is more newsworthy than a word-of-mouth explosion.

Three of the top ten cinema chains in China are controlled by China Film Group. In addition, there are four cinema chains with more than 40% shareholding. They are all very large cinema chains. What is the big brother of the film industry?

ah.

Chen Jingxing changed this character from the original setting of having no children and no family to a new setting of having children.

Then the discussion of human nature was introduced - attaching family affection and the love of parents to their children to bigger things, thus making Lei Jiayin's character a more attractive villain and a repentant and determined teacher who abandons human nature.

A staunch racial survivalist in chains.

And it also wraps love into the concept of human nature in a certain sense, thereby dispelling part of the perception of "love can generate electricity, love saves everything" in the original version, and turning love from saving human beings to human nature saving human beings.

This is not to say which one is higher or lower, but Chinese audiences do have some ideas that are different from European and American audiences.
