Since November, China's mainland movie market has been in the doldrums due to the lack of heavyweight new releases, with the October 23 release of "King Kong River" occupying the top spot at the single-day box office for more than 20 days, with only the introduction of the film "Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen" making a brief appearance on November 9 as the single-day box office champion for one day. Then came the world of "King Kong River", which, as of November 19, had grossed 1.021 billion yuan in 28 days of release.
By November 20, Wang Qianyuan and Wu Yanzu led by the release of "In addition to violence" once gave the cinema some hope.
Hong Kong-made police films in the mainland market, although not to a burst one, but relatively speaking there will be a relatively stable audience and box office performance, competition is not too fierce, the quality itself is excellent, to a "double" or "bomb disposal experts" good results is not impossible.
In addition, the new crown epidemic has made the mainland market almost completely missing Hollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong police films as a mature commercial genre supplement, is the most urgent need of the cinema right now.
On the first day of its release, nearly 55 million dollars of box office accounted for 60% of the day's gross, which was also directly double the gross of the previous weekdays. By the end of the weekend, the film's ranking increased to 45% from 25% the day before, and the box office easily exceeded 100 million. The three days of the weekend, "except for the storm" box office broke 200 million, not a big pop achievement, but after all, became a dismal November film market, the highest-grossing film released so far.
The two kinds of embarrassment of "bath towel" and "condom"
The bathroom fight scene in "Riot Control
The audience enjoyed the intense police clashes and fast-paced case progression, but was also confused by how Wang Qianyuan and Wu Yanzu could keep the towel from falling off in such a good bathroom fight scene. Of course the bath towel detail is a typical representative, such discussions and questions point to the film's excessive pursuit of stylization and character "charm", and in many plot disposition seems exaggerated illogical.
The two kinds of embarrassment of "bath towel" and "condom"
The poster of "Busted
The title of the film is "Bite the bullet", the English translation of "Caught the time" (deadline to solve the case), and finally settled on the name "Bite the bullet", the theme of "Bite the bullet" is very clear, but also part of the audience considered too deliberate. The film presents the dedication and sacrifice of the public security police, interspersed with narratives of family, friendship and love in the midst of several intense cases, but the scribble is not convincing, but because some lines are too obvious, the audience is directly aware that some actors will soon "take the poo" and out of the scene.
The plot is too "smooth", the bandits are strong, the accuracy of the police shooting erratic, many settings seem too "tool", only a "fake Robin Wu" a small The reversal is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetite of the audience who were previously mobilized by the strong audiovisual style and narrative. The final highlight fell on the "bath towel fight", which naturally gave the audience an outlet to focus on their grievances, leaving the impression of the movie in the most out-of-place place when they walked out of the theater.
The "violence" and the other crime film "calm" released earlier this month, although the style is very different, but suffered a similar word-of-mouth situation, do not like the audience will be indignant about the plot holes, and like the audience will be happy to find details in it, looking for some retro or even classical beauty.
