2021The "most crowded" May 1st stage ended, setting a new record with a box office of 1.67 billion. From the perspective of the number and quality of films, surprises and disappointments coexist. Among the more than 10 new films released , except for "Above the Cliff" directed by Zhang Yimou, which has won word of mouth, only "The Battle of the Black" has passed the passing line.
Compared with other films in the same period, "Anti-Black Showdown" is not dominant in terms of topic and marketing. On the first day of its release, only 6% of the films were arranged, and the percentage of films in the drama was the bottom. After that, the film gradually climbed with the accumulated word-of-mouth, and finally surpassed "The Secret Visitor" and "Chasing the Tiger" and entered the top three at the daily box office on May 4. ; After the May 1st holiday, the film market entered the end of the long tail. On May 7, the box office of "Anti-Black Battle" surpassed "Your Wedding", second only to "On the Cliff", becoming the runner-up in the box office of the day. The movie currently has a total box office of 140 million, and it is still possible to climb further. Maoyan Professional Edition predicts that the total box office of the film will reach 318 million.
"Anti-gangland battle" starring Zhang Songwen, Jiang Wu, Jin Shijia, Li Qian, etc. The film is the first film and television work to show the cases supervised by the national anti-gangster office, and it is also a realistic film. It tells the story of Song Yirui, the leader of an anti-criminal task force, who led the team to conduct an in-depth investigation of a land acquisition case, broke through layers of obstruction, and fought fiercely against the evil forces behind the scenes. Finally, they uncovered the hypocritical mask of corrupt officials using public power as a criminal umbrella. Stories of criminals being brought to justice.
From the content point of view, "Anti-gangland Showdown" is actually a crime-themed movie. The "anti-criminal" theme that is close to reality makes it unpopular, novel and real. The truth has become the label of the film. This film stands out among the May 1st works.
The beginning of the movie stated that "the story of this film is adapted from some real cases in the national special campaign against gangsters and evil". From the point of view of handling methods, the performance of "Anti-gangland" is quite satisfactory. "Texture" can't be talked about in all aspects. There is a lot of room for improvement in the script. There is suspicion of material stacking, the editing is skipped, and some plots are confusing. Some netizens commented "like watching a tight TV series" "only" The scenes of Zhang Songwen and Jiang Wubiao's play can only believe that this is a movie."
Fortunately, "Sweeping the Black" has a strong story and tells a story of "fighting the big tiger" very directly. It is as straightforward as splashing ink on white paper. , but surprisingly easier for the audience to accept. First of all, it is very "daring to shoot", and it shows the evil and cunning of the bad guys on the largest scale, such as violent land acquisition, indiscriminate killing of innocent people, violent debts in slaughterhouses, forced prostitutes, drug addiction, and drug trafficking. The investigation team confronted the underworld and fought wits and courage with the "big tiger" and "little fly". It's as simple as that, without making a fuss, the whole film renders the emotions very well, and the audience is immersed in it step by step, and it is easy to ignore the film's lack of film expression.
Besides the actors, there are no big names or traffic stars in the film. Jiang Wu and Zhang Songwen are the two leading actors with solid performances. Jiang Wu can show his arrogance through "eye skills" without saying a word. He is calm and careful, and has a strong force value. There is also a bit of a mischievous sense of humor in taking out the coin from the pocket.Zhang Songwen once again presented his textbook-like acting skills. He was diligent, upright, and dedicated to the people. He seemed to be the well-known "good county magistrate"; at night, he quietly squeezed cigarette butts with his bare hands, vividly explaining what was real Ruthless man, the confrontation with Jin Shijia's brother at his father's house is even more of a mirror to the end. As the county magistrate, he is daring to speak out, helpless and distressed, and he is very good. In the end, he was on the verge of losing control and pinched Jin Shijia. Neck, people outside the play are nervous when they see it. According to the director's interview, Zhang Songwen and Jiang Wu often have improvisational performances on the spot, and the two actors can catch each other's scenes. It's a lot of fun to watch the scenes that come out of the collision.
In front of Zhang Songwen and Jiang Wu, two acting masters who are calm on the surface and turbulent in their hearts, the most controversial part of the movie should be Jin Shijia's acting skills. ", even the bearded big golden watch can't cover his obedient face, because the hoarseness and almost crazy face distortion shown by drug use are exaggerated to many viewers. Of course, many viewers who recognized Jin Shijia's acting skills said they were "scared".
Some people commented that the movie "Sweeping Down" is too weak, like a "French popularization drama", but in general the movie has a strong story and strong real impact is the label of this movie, although other parts still need to be polished , but for the subject matter and practical significance, it is still worthy of appreciation.
