China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 587 The birth of the biggest dark horse of the year

After the premiere of "Li Yannian", the first round of feedback was quickly shared online by excited military fans.

It's not that ordinary audiences don't like "Li Yannian" or can't see the goodness of "Li Yannian", but military fans can realize more clearly than ordinary audiences the differences between "Li Yannian" and other tribute war films in the past.

.

They can keenly capture more details of the movie, and at the same time they are tortured by other similar movies.

Therefore, military fans were more surprised and had the most intense reactions.

Amway is also the most enthusiastic.

Due to various reasons such as the subject matter, cast lineup and film schedule, "Li Yannian" is not like Chen Jingxing's movie, or "Sky Eagle Warrior", which has been the protagonist of the media and the audience and the darling of theaters as soon as it came out.

That’s not to say that no one is paying attention. DreamWorks and National Film Group have put a lot of effort into promoting it.

But it's not as popular as other DreamWorks blockbusters.

This is also normal. In movies, subject matter, genre and style are often more decisive factors than actors, directors and companies.

A movie like "Li Yannian" that lacks gimmicks and is non-science fiction, non-suspense and non-love with a more traditional theme is difficult to arouse the interest of the audience, especially active Internet users.

The overwhelming praise and enthusiastic Amway also made "Li Yannian" surpass "The King of the Sky" on the third day of its premiere, and it surpassed it twice.

9.2 points

The most advanced thing is truth, and truth is the real advanced thing.

And during the day the next day, when more and more moviegoers and film critics published more detailed and meaningful comments, the topic and popularity of "Li Yannian" began to spread throughout the Internet.

"Where are your warriors?"

We are just not objective or calm!

I can even say without shame that "Li Yannian" can definitely rival or even surpass the benchmark war works "Saving Soldiers", "Band of Brothers" or "Generation Kill".

"The victory in the seven consecutive battles was achieved through the unified actions of the squad and platoon. Was it done by you alone?"

The first time was commercial, allowing domestic military action films to compete with Hollywood and becoming a possible mainstream commercial film theme.

There is also the wisdom of figuring out the enemy's artillery fire and crossing the line of fire. This kind of war wisdom is not uncommon, but I have never seen it in previous movies.

In this way, "Li Yannian" has become the most popular topic on Weibo, Douban, Zhihu and other websites.

"Li Yannian" not only talks about how to fight in a war, it also talks about how to work in a war, especially how political cadres work.

As reminded in the comment area, it is true that DreamWorks also has a way of making romance films. "Your Name" and "Mirage" are both touching. I hope to make more in the future]

We work hard to win, so that our compatriots in our hometown will no longer be disturbed by the flames of war, and to make the enemy fear our strength.

However, once word of mouth came out on the night of the premiere, the popularity of debuff with its inferior theme quickly increased again on the Internet.

But DreamWorks has raised domestic military war movies to a new level with "Li Yannian".

It will definitely leave a huge footprint in the history of world war-themed film and television.

It also led to subsequent increases in pre-sales. Even viewers who were not very interested in this kind of Korean war movie wanted to find out what it was out of curiosity about word-of-mouth.

Looking back now, in many domestic war movies, the commanders only know: hit me hard! Hold on! Charge! Kill! Retreat!

I’ve never seen anything good before.】

You will feel that the protagonist in this drama is much more tired and less energetic than the heroic protagonists in some domestic war dramas.

In addition to being real, there are also very solid dramatic conflicts. From the deserting scene at the beginning to the rape scene at the end, one after the other, it is simply a textbook-level plot arrangement.

It's very rare for a military-themed movie to achieve this score.

This enlightenment also opened my eyes. It turns out that this is how war is fought. In addition to fighting on the front line, we have to constantly hold meetings and study battle plans. It allowed me to see what an organized and disciplined army is.

This time, our battle to found the country, from conception to process to victory, was condensed into a small high-low offensive and defensive battle, which was vividly displayed.

Why is "Band of Brothers" an unsurpassed classic?

...]

Is there another war movie with the theme of tribute to the Korean War?

We can fight tooth and nail, but why do we sacrifice? Is it just to complete the mission or avenge our comrades, or for some bullshit military honor?

[When I heard that the dubbing of mortars was not the "dong-dong" sound in previous shocking dramas, but the original sound of "swish-swish" of the cannon being ejected from the chamber, I knew this movie was high-end.

The work of political cadres is shown to the audience in every detail: in addition to fighting, they also have to hold meetings, talk, and write reports. It can be said that they are "literate and capable of military affairs."

[When I saw on the encyclopedia that the name of the screenwriter of "Li Yannian" was Chen Jingxing, I was actually half relieved. As a result, the movie even exceeded my expectations.

It has reached a higher level of war movies.

Pinpin, this is the war-themed film and television work that the people love to see!

I haven't been this excited for a long time. As a military fan, I have become accustomed to the inaccuracies and lack of military knowledge in domestically produced war movies. After finally seeing such a conscientious work, I must be blown away. Don't even try to persuade me to be objective and calm.

It’s great to have DreamWorks in domestic films! I remember that there were people with ulterior motives who exaggerated that DreamWorks wanted to be China’s Disney and become a monopoly. I can’t wait for such a level and such a never-ending climbing spirit.

He has a monopoly!

"Where is the platoon commander and company commander?"

Yes, what’s wrong with DreamWorks being a “red factory”? Your non-famous directors and non-famous companies haven’t seen their works exported overseas?]

For the first time, I learned that the instructors actually do these jobs, which shows the level of the films we usually shoot.

【What impressed me the most is:

"Where's your class?"

Fans and critics who have watched the movie also gave various kinds of praise, either lengthy or concise.

A score of 9.2 is completely different from a score of 8.4.

It is difficult for you to immerse yourself in war, but it is easy for you to immerse yourself in life. When war becomes a way of life, you will unconsciously immerse yourself in it and feel a feeling that is difficult to create in war movies:

reality.

Is honor such a frivolous thing only available to soldiers? Who have you seen win a war with honor? Wouldn't it be invincible to bring in the knights and nobles of the Middle Ages? Wouldn't it be invincible to bring in the knights and nobles from the Middle Ages? Would it be true to bring in the samurai from Japan next door who can commit seppuku?

Can't it also push the US military back to the 38th parallel?

Don’t the KMT troops understand brotherhood? Don’t they understand human sea tactics? Don’t they understand the honor of soldiers?

Others are probably already satisfied, and want to sit back and indulge themselves in their great achievements, and already want to brag about "I don't make movies, what will the Chinese people watch?"

reality!

It can be said that it single-handedly promoted two iterations of domestic military-themed works.

Especially after Douban's light-speed ratings were released, DreamWorks' movies have always been quick to score. After all, they never had to squeeze out scores. There was no fan-hate war in "Li Yannian" and the classification was normal.

If it's just about avenging your comrades, then what's the difference between it and the Western Cowboys, and what's the difference between it and "A Better Tomorrow"?

Some people just don't believe that we have simpler, more universal and noble beliefs beyond brotherhood and the so-called military honor of the old days.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that "King of the Sky" began to suffer from word-of-mouth abuse.

What I want to say is that after experiencing the strange atmosphere from "Assembly" to "Eight Hundred Revelation" and "Youth", this long-lost serious work that is responsible for history has finally appeared in our field of vision again.

——

"Mekong" ushered in a new era of domestic military themes, and the military action trilogy also brought domestic military action films to a very high level of maturity.

The reversal of the film market is often not gradual, but sudden and sudden, occurring in a certain moment.

But when all kinds of details fill your senses, that feeling comes again:

Attack, defense, clearing minefields, fire reconnaissance, counter-sniper, psychological warfare, beheading warfare, sparrow warfare, a movie is almost a tactical exhibition hall of the Volunteer Army.

In addition to Jangho's marketing, its original "polarized" reputation was also related to the fact that there were no very conspicuous references during the same period.

It really blows away some movies!

Some intersex people have come to the yin and yang again, but still think 9.2 is too high? I think it’s too low.

This is a bit new.

I'm here to put people's hats on me again, and you are still very skilled in doing so.

Some movies are professionally shot and have beautiful pictures, and every frame is full of skills and techniques. Even the most academic people are impeccable, but they cannot tell the story of China well and make people unable to feel the spiritual core of the Chinese people.

It not only talks about how to fight in war, it also talks about how to live in war. It not only pays attention to the details of battle, but also pays attention to the details of life.

【Become a god directly!

This film answers all the core questions of the Korean War.

If you can understand what I mean above, you can understand why the movie "Li Yannian" is awesome.

By the way, DreamWorks is so multi-faceted. It can produce a gift film of this kind with this level of texture. The 200 million film has produced many levels that even 500 million and 1 billion cannot. It seems that it can be done well.

The work is actually just a matter of attitude.

Why this war was fought, why it was won, how the war was fought, and what the soldiers and martyrs thought and did at that time.

DreamWorks probably doesn’t have any themes that it can’t make a profit on except romantic movies and comedies...

Directors who don’t understand this cannot produce good domestic historical war dramas. If they want to use Western or vulgar values ​​​​to apply to our soldiers, they will ultimately produce works that are completely different.]

More than two hours created the image of n flesh-and-blood people's heroes, and they are definitely not American heroes.

I also don’t believe that we can win without relying on individual heroes, mass tactics, or the mercy of the enemy.

The previous highest scores among domestic military films were "Operation Red Sea" and "Spike II" with 8.4 points.

["Respect and trust are more precious combat power than weapons and equipment!"

Faced with a war movie with a rating of over 9 points, "Lord of the Sky"'s "polarizing" reputation has quickly fallen towards the single-level reputation of "just a bad movie".

After 33 million on the first day and 49 million on the next day, on the first Saturday after the release of "Li Yannian", the single-day box office completely surpassed "The King of the Sky" and dominated the theater chain, with a revenue of 146 million, winning the first daily box office

crown.

Maotao's box office forecast has also jumped from the initial 870 million to 1.94 billion and 2.05 billion.

After all, the summer season has come to an end, and "Li Yannian" does have inherent flaws in its subject matter and cast lineup. To achieve such results is a life-changing success.

This is how the biggest dark horse of the summer season and even the year was born.
