On June 24, the movie " Life Events " starring Zhu Yilong was officially released. The movie performed well in the first weekend. The single-day box office was 83.59 million on Saturday, June 25, and on Sunday, June 26, the proportion of film schedule increased from 41.3% to 42.6%. However, as of press time, the single-day box office was less than 30 million, because the attendance rate dropped to 3.5%, indicating that the film was somewhat weak in succession.
However, it is worth mentioning that as of press time, the cumulative box office of major life events has reached 193 million, and the film company's share of the accounts has reached 66.32 million. Audiences who have watched the movie know that the movie is only Zhu Yilong, a big-name actor. The movie has no special effects and not many scenes. The movie is filmed in Wuhan, and the production cost will definitely not exceed 60 million. Therefore, after three days of its release, "The Big Events of Life" has recovered and started to make money. The final box office forecast given by the professional box office software is 705 million. According to the film company's 37.31% share, at which time, there will be more than 260 million share of the box office, and at least 200 million can be made. The reason why the movie is successful is simple. Director Liu Jiangjiang used the method of a commercial film to package the theme of an art film. After being released from prison, Mo Sanmei, played by Zhu Yilong, "son inherited her father's business" and accepted her father's funeral shop. During a funeral, he met Xiaowen, who was played by Yang En. By chance, he and two partners got custody of Xiaowen, but after that, a series of accidents followed one after another. Mo Sanmei's father passed away, causing trouble for the living people, and Xiaowen's mother suddenly appeared... These accidents changed Mo Sanmei's attitude towards career and life.
movies attract audiences at least two aspects, one is the attention to the funeral industry, and the full-time dialect dialogue is very attractive. The beginning of the film is that Mo Sanmei wears a mourning dress for the old lady. After the "love rival" died unexpectedly, Mo Sanmei and her father went to the funeral home to help sew and put on makeup, and the ultimate messy funeral of living people, which are all presentations of the funeral customs and customs. This is a relatively unpopular theme in the movie. It makes people think of the Japanese movie " Devourer ". Relatively speaking, "The Big Events in Life" is more real and down-to-earth.
On the other hand, it is the presentation of father-daughter family affection. Yang En, who plays Xiaowen, can be said to be a genius actor. There are many crying scenes in the movie, which correspond to different emotions. The little girl performed very well, and some netizens even thought that her performance was better than Zhu Yilong. Because the performances of both actors were very successful, the relationship between Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen, from the beginning of being incompatible with each other, to the fact that father and daughter were inseparable from being inseparable from being inseparable from the later generations of father-daughter relationship and being inseparable from being inseparable from being inseparable from the transition and progression of the whole emotion was very convincing, and many plots made people cry, for example, Xiaowen looked at the blue smoke from the chimney and felt that her grandma went to the sky, and she said at school that "father" Mo Sanmei was a star-like person. After the biological mother was found, Mo Sanmei took Xiaowen to a taxi while she was asleep. As a result, Xiaowen woke up, and patted the window and called him dad. The scene of Mo Sanmei chasing the car behind was also very touching.
and all this is achieved thanks to the director's polishing of the script. During the interview, director Liu Jiangjiang revealed that he has had relatives engaged in the funeral industry since he was a child, and he has also attended many funerals, so he had the idea of making the funeral industry into a movie.
I guess the script may have simply told the funeral industry, but the director revealed in the interview that the script had been revised 12 drafts. The way the story was promoted is actually very similar to the style of Han Yan, the producer of , which shows that under Han Yan's guidance and suggestions, the script should have been greatly changed and finally appeared.
"The Big Events in Life" has a good reputation. Two days after its release, Douban scored 7.5 points, and more than 60% of the audience gave four-star and five-star praises. Of course, there were also many bad reviews. Judging from Douban's reviews, the reputation is polarized. Some netizens commented that "Han Yan's advantages have not been learned, Han Yan's faults have been accepted, and all two stars have been given to the little girl." Some netizens wrote that "a crappy script will make the actor's careful performance look like a joke." Some netizens criticized even more ruthlessly, believing that the movie "style is commercial and genre, with farce-like drama structure, and the so-called funeral theme is a gimmick."
is actually not unfair to be criticized by the audience. The second half of "The Great Events in Life" is indeed too dramatic, lacking rationality and has many logical bugs.
For example, how could Xiaowen's mother suddenly appear? Her own explanation is that she was imprisoned abroad and could not contact her family, so her family thought she was dead, so Xiaowen became an orphan. Not to mention that she had a daughter in China, Xiaowen's mother would definitely try every means to keep in touch with her family. Even if she was arrested and imprisoned, there must be policies to contact her family. At least she sent WeChat and wrote an email, right?
Mo Sanmei decided to send Xiaowen away, but it was obvious that Jianren and Yin Baixue adopted at the legal level, so how could Mo Sanmei not have it? Tell them that they decided to send Xiaowen away? Are you too self-righteous? Moreover, Mo Sanmei's self-righteousness is more than here. After her father passed away, her sister should have decided on the funeral method. However, Mo Sanmei did not discuss with her sister at all, so she turned her father's ashes into fireworks. Are you too disrespectful to her sister and not considering her sister's feelings?
Overall, "The Big Events in Life" is indeed quite touching, but there are indeed many drama problems, and these problems have a great impact on reputation, resulting in Sundays on the off-day holiday, and the attendance rate is only half of Saturdays, which means that the audience is not willing to watch the movie. However, as mentioned above, the movie has already made a profit, so the box office pressure is not great. I hope to have a better box office result!
