's long-awaited " " has finally been launched, and it has achieved outstanding box office results in foreign markets. In 6 days, the box office exceeded 150 million US dollars, which is RMB 960 million.
Among them, North America has the best box office performance, with more than 94 million, ranking first in the North American box office list. Compared with other movies that went online during the same period, the box office and word-of-mouth are both a win.
Not only that, but for some viewers who are used to watching the U.S. Premier League, superheroes with Asian faces are also eye-catching, and there are a lot of Chinese elements interspersed in the film, so for many For foreign audiences, it was also full of surprises.
Although "Shang Qi" has not yet been released in China, it still hopes to win the Chinese film market from the main direction of its pre-publication.
not only modified some character settings, but also changed a large number of dialogues in the film into Chinese. In the selection of actors, Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh and others are undoubtedly accurate to capture the preferences of domestic audiences.
However, the shortcomings of the current film are also very obvious, and the overall casting is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Tony Leung’s biggest bonus
Many Chinese viewers look forward to the work "Shang Qi", not because it is the first superhero with an Asian face, but more importantly in this film Tony Leung made a surprise appearance.
As an actor-level actor, Tony Leung's domestic popularity is self-evident. Compared to the leading actor in "Shang Qi", Tony Leung is more gimmick. And this time Tony Leung did not disappoint the audience. His acting skills in "Shang Qi" are still at the textbook level, and the eye-catching scenes are still in place.
is also Tow Wai Leung’s brilliant acting, which exposes the shortcomings of the leading actor and other actors in "Shang Qi". It can be said that Tony Leung tore off the fig leaf of these foreign actors.
"Shang Qi" actor Liu Simu started his acting career in 2013, but most of the roles he played are unknown. It was not until "Kim's Convenience Store" that he opened up a certain degree of popularity.
And "Shang Qi" directly selected Liu Simu as the male lead. In fact, it is more in line with foreigners' aesthetic impression of Asian faces. For Chinese audiences, it is obviously not very friendly.
And the heroine Okafina Although the resume is very exciting, she is also a well-known Asian actor, but she is not very pleasing in appearance. After all, the audience is looking forward to such a movie featuring Asian heroes, and they should be more inclined to Asian aesthetics in casting, and Okafina obviously loses points in appearance.
Judging from the casting of "Shang Qi", apart from Tony Leung, it is Michelle Yeoh and Yuanhua that can be recognized by the Chinese audience. If there are no actors, I believe "Shang Qi" This film will not get too dazzling results in the Chinese market.
Although "Shangqi" has not yet been released in China, it is crucial for "Shangqi" to win the Chinese market, and the biggest bonus is Tony Leung.
Tony Leung's wonderful acting skills are indeed smashing faces of a lot of foreign actors, and it is really exciting.
Even Korean netizens were surprised by Tony Leung after watching it.
national style elements, American core
In the film "Shangqi" many Chinese Kungfu elements have been added,It is also a big benefit for domestic audiences.
There is even a part of the audience who can find a sense of familiarity from this movie. This is because the movie invited Jackie Chan's martial arts class as a martial arts instructor.
There are many national style elements interspersed in the film, such as bamboo forests or ancient buildings with Chinese style, etc., which give the audience a sense of sight when watching Chinese martial arts films. It has to be said that the martial arts instructor of the married class gives the male protagonist a lot of extra points.
Liu Simu is obviously lacking in acting against an old drama player like Tony Leung. His eye scenes and facial expressions feel very stiff.
But after adding these wonderful martial arts moves, his acting skills seem to have improved.
However, overall, the performance of "Shangqi" in the Chinese market will not be too brilliant. Although it uses many elements of national style, the overall story is still a common individual in American movies. The growth of the hero.
And the male protagonist played by Simu Liu is on the domestic film market, which is a too positive role, not as memorable as the civil and military played by Tony Leung.
Although Tony Leung plays a lot in this movie and even overwhelms the male lead, the protagonist Liu Simu is still very easy to persuade the audience.
Although some viewers who like super British movies will inevitably add "Shangqi" to their watch list, but the story told by "Shangqi" is actually still inevitable. Cliché.
The main points of this movie are focused on Tony Leung. Although Tony Leung's box office appeal cannot be underestimated, a film that is destined to not resonate with domestic audiences is difficult to attract ordinary audiences to pay for the film.
It can be said that the failure of "Shang Qi" in the overall casting of the cast is destined to persuade the Chinese audience.
