Rebirth of literary style

Chapter 182 Two Days of Ice and Fire

The box office of "East Evil West Poison" surpassed "East and West Poison" on the first day, reaching 360,000, but on the second day, it dived on a high platform, only 1.73 million. On the third day, it was only more than 900,000, which can be said to be worse and worse.

Different from the downward trend of the box office, the evaluation of East Evil West Poison is extremely high. Of course, this refers to the evaluation obtained among professional film critics and the media.

Songjiang Morning Post belongs to Zhang Duo. In order to avoid suspicion, it rarely praises Zhang Duo or his works, because there is a suspicion of Wang's mother-in-law selling melons and boasting.

However, other domestic media have begun to report news about East and West Poison on a large scale. Because both the TV series version and the two movies are from the novel Legend of the Condor Heroes, and they are all from Zhang Duo, but they have different market performance and evaluations, which is worth analyzing by the media.

Needless to mention the success of the TV series version, the highest ratings reached 317.1. Gao Zhonghua, who played Guo Jing, Cheng Nan, Huang Rong, Zhang Duo, Yang Kang, and Jin Yuzhi, who played Mu Nianci, were all well-known in China and became the most popular stars.

As for the reputation of this TV series, it has become an indelible classic like the 86th edition of Journey to the West, the 87th edition of A Dream of Red Mansions, the 94th edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the 98th edition of Water Margin, and will meet the audience every summer vacation in the future.

"East and West" is not highly rated in the eyes of the media, and it is just a spoof comedy with no connotation in the eyes of some professional film critics. However, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, it is a rare classic, and the box office has reached 200 million, making it the highest-grossing film in China. Based on this alone, it can be recorded in the history of domestic cinema.

And "East Evil West Poison" is another manifestation. First of all, its evaluation polarization is extremely serious. In the eyes of the media, professional film critics and some audiences, this is an extremely classic art film, which subverts the traditional martial arts film pattern and satirizes the present.

The first comment in the entertainment section of Chu Tian Daily said that in East Evil West Poison, Ouyang Feng played by Zhang Duo is the most complex and painful character. Unlike previous martial arts movies, which are clear about good and evil, the "martial arts" in this film hardly take justice and eliminate violence and peace as their life goals. It is completely contrary to the idea of "the great chivalrous man, for the country and the people" in Zhang Duo's previous novels.

In this film, all the protagonists become indifferent and selfish after being injured by "love". After such plot processing, it becomes a possibility for other characters to project their surrounding personality to Ouyang Feng. In the film, this possibility is achieved and perfected by Zhang Duo's excellent performance.

At the beginning of the film, Ouyang Feng appeared as a kind of a bre. Such appearance will make the audience more or less disgusted with the role from the beginning. As the film unfolds, other characters appeared one after another, as well as the monologue and empty footage when Ouyang Feng was alone, the audience's psychology will Subtle changes have taken place - it turns out that Ouyang Feng is not so annoying, because "anyone can become vicious."

And when the film shows us all the separation and changes - the death of the blind man, Hong Qi's "Yaxing on duty, the north of Da Li", the death of the sister-in-law, the "will not come again" of Dong Xie, the disappearance of peach blossoms, Murong Yan and Dugu's defeat... We will find that the original The character and ending of all these parallel characters have long penetrated into Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng's strength and indifference are used to hide the fragility and tenderness in his heart.

"East Evil West Poison" is an aus in the new martial arts film. It takes martial arts as its shell, but describes the emotions, confusion, alienation and alienation of modern people. In fact, the storyline of the whole film has nothing to do with The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but borrowed the name of the original work, but it tells a story that happened in different times and spaces...

Entertainment Weekly, a subsidiary of East China Daily, published a film review: "Everyone has the opportunity to become Hong Qi, but they all become Ouyang Feng"

"Ouyang Feng is an extremely smart person, and there is always a sense of compassion on his body. He hates because there will never be a desert that can't go out in the vast world; he hates because there will always be women he can't get out of all kinds of life, and he will never get out of his traps in the contradictory struggle. On his body, hatred is a kind of power, so he always refuses to forget the past, and even often uncovers scarred wounds and sprinkles a handful of salt fiercely. In him, he can't see what he gets. What he can see will never be what he can get.

However, Hong Qi is a simple and direct person. He used to be quick because he was direct and thought it was right. He did it and never thought about the cost. But after living with Ouyang Feng for a long time, he completely changed so much that he would reject the girl at the beginning. But after all, he still avenged the girl. What he got was an egg and what he lost was a finger.

When I was in school, most people were like Hong Qi, which was simple and straightforward. However, after entering the society, we gradually lost the simplicity and directness of the original, and gradually learned to consider the gains and losses and weigh the pros and cons. Our ability and standards to distinguish right and wrong are gradually assimilated by some ideas that we originally dislike, and finally deviate from the original coordinates, but we can't change them, and these changes are mature in the eyes of everyone. Until one day, when we see a person who has not been assimilated and adheres to ideals and codes of conduct, it is like seeing ourselves. After laughing at his childishness, we may be jealous of that spirit and state, because those things we once had but can never be found again.

In fact, everyone has the opportunity to become Hong Qi and travel around the world with his wife. But in the end, we all became Ouyang Feng, who would only look on coldly and be jealous. Because you have also had such an opportunity, but I don't know why you gave up so easily.

Difference from the analysis and praise of professional film critics, in the eyes of some audiences who want to see a popcorn movie, this is a story of communication between paranoia and schizophrenia and amnesiac patients, coupled with sour lines and desperate expressions, making people I don't understand what you're talking about, but it's just an art blockbuster.

Because of the excellent reputation in the media, many audiences walked into the cinema, but eight of the ten people who entered the film felt boring, while the other two regarded "East Evil West Poison" as an insurmountable classic. And when these ten people went back to talk to their friends, some people were at a loss.

The box office of "East Evil West Poison" has not been declining unilaterally, but there is a small rebound from time to time. However, in the overall trend, it is still dominated by decline. So when it was painted, the box office was only more than 36 million, which was still stained with the light of the original novel, TV series and movie East and West. After the division of the cinema, I can barely recover the investment, but it is much better than the previous life.

"East to West" was released a month and a half after its release, and finally achieved a box office of 260 million, which appeared earlier than the previous life's "Hero" and a higher box office in the domestic market.

The adaptation of the same novel, the same director, the same production lineup, and the same rapid production have become classics of commercial films and art films respectively, and the box office results are even more icy and hot, which has surprised domestic media and industry insiders.

"East and West" has been verified by the market. Although "East Evil West Poison" has not won any awards, the vast majority of industry insiders believe that "East Evil West Poison" will sweep major awards in the domestic film industry. So much so that there are people in the world who want to make money and go to Zhang Duo; if you want to win a prize, you can also go to Zhang Duo.

In Xingshan No. 1 Middle School, after school at noon, students walked out of the classroom one after another. Some went home, some went to the canteen, and some went to the off-campus snack street. Zhang Duo took Qin Lan to the open space in front of the main building to pick up the car.

Xingshan No.1 Middle School does not have a special parking lot, but only the shed for students to put bicycles. Zhang Duo now drives to school every day, so he parked his car in the open space in front of the main building, with the principal, the teaching director and some teachers in good conditions.

It's just that their car is Santana and so on, but it's too far from Zhang Duo's. So that every time the headmaster picked up the car, he looked at Zhang Duo's BMW X5 next to him and shook his head.

When Zhang Duo and Qin Lan came out, the students at the school gate had almost left. Zhang Duo slowly drove the car out of the school gate and drove into the distance in the envious eyes of the students on both sides.

After returning to Xingshan, although Zhang Duo lived in the house he bought, he often went to Qin Lan's house for dinner. As the saying goes, half a son-son, Chu Yuwei is now more kin to Zhang Duo than her son. If he is asked to go home for lunch and dinner every day, Qin Lan will bring him breakfast.

The car arrived at Xing'an Community and stopped downstairs of Qinlan's house. Zhang Duo took Qin Lan's hand and was about to go upstairs, but he saw the window of a Porsche next to him roll down, revealing a rather handsome but expressionless face. It was Dai Anmin, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Director Zhang, how about chatting together?"

"You go upstairs first and tell your aunt that you don't have to wait for me!" Zhang Duo patted Qin Lan on the back and said.

Qin Lan obediently didn't ask anything, but said, "Then I'll go upstairs first!" He walked away gracefully.

Zhang Duo walked to the position of Porsche's co-driver, opened the door and sat in, and said in a bad tone, "Mr. Dai is well-informed enough. Even I go to my girlfriend's house for dinner every day."

Dai Anmin quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't ask anyone to stare at you. I just didn't have your contact information to find here. In addition, I also feel that it's more sincere to come to you in person."

Zhang Duo nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence to Dai Anmin's statement. Mr. Dai, why do you come to me when you are free?

Dai Anmin handed a check and said, "I want to cooperate with Director Zhang on a movie. It's just a little deposit to talk about it. Later, we can also talk about the box office share."

Zhang Duo was prepared for the arrival of this day, but when he saw the check handed over by Dai Anmin, he was still deeply shocked, because the number on it was 10 million.
