Hello, welcome to the commentary of Tang San Film and Television.
In this issue, let’s talk about Fast and Furious 9. The first two episodes of this series, Quick Seven and Quick Eight, sold a total of 5 billion box office in the mainland, so Suki also has high hopes. Many people think this movie It can be sold for at least 3 billion, but I never expected that the word-of-mouth will collapse after the release of Su Jijiu, and it has become the worst part of the series. This directly cut the box office expectation from 3 billion in half, and can exceed 1.5 billion. That's pretty good, so why is Su Ji Jiu being scolded like this?
This issue will be divided into two parts. The first half is what I said before. The content is the analysis of the entire series of Speed and Furious. If you don’t know much about the Speed and Furious series, this part The content can help you quickly understand this series. The second half is the analysis of Su Ji Jiu. If you already know the whole series, you can jump to this time to directly understand the real reason why Su Jiu was scolded.
Fast and Furious series is one of the most popular and longest-selling movies in the past 20 years. Eight Zheng Chuan and One Side Chuan have earned 5.5 billion U.S. dollars in the box office around the world. Initially, the quick and exciting series is a typical racing theme. In the movie, the crime scene gradually escalated, and the racing element became an auxiliary. However, the fast-excited series is still the absolute brother of the racing movie. On the surface, the fast-excited series can be sold out by these four key words, tough guys and beauties. , Speed, action, which guarantees the viewability of every speedy movie, in short, one word is, cool.
No one can deny that Quick Excite is a great movie, but in fact Quick Excite can really impress you with the secrets. It’s the underlying setting, which is sentiment and morality, and sentiment is the truth between small groups. , To stab at friends and fight through fire and water for the family, We are family morality is the principle that people who run the rivers and lakes respect the thief and morality, and behind the sentiment and morality, the core pillar of the entire quick-excited series,In fact, it is a game of two social orders. Which two social orders?
To put it simply, it is the white road representing the power of the state and the underworld representing the power of the underground. If the society we live in is simply divided into a three-tier structure, the upper level is the country. In the middle are our ordinary people, and the lower level is underground power. The people want to live a good life, so they need a stable social order. Who will provide order?
, of course, is the right of the state. There are laws and law enforcers to guarantee the stable life of every law-abiding citizen, but state power cannot solve all problems. At this time, if the people suffer losses, they will either swallow their anger or find underground power to give them. Get justice by yourself. For example, in the classic gangster movie "The Godfather", the opening talk is that the people have suffered a big loss, the police can't control, and the law can't be judged. They come to find the mafia boss to get justice, so they say something inappropriate. When the people are wronged, they must either find the police or the boss. From this perspective, it is easy to understand the game between these two social orders.
Let me give you a brief review of what the previous quick excites have said. First of all, let me explain that it is eight main stories and one outside story. In fact, to be precise, the third part of the series, Tokyo Drift, is also on the main line. Other than that, it can be regarded as uninformed, so the core story line of the quick excitement series is actually 1245678 steps. Time is limited. Let's just say these seven steps. The first two core protagonists appear. Boss Tang is a criminal, and Brian is an FBI agent. Brian was ordered to undercover and destroy the gang of Boss Don. As a result, the two heroes cherish the heroes. In the end, Brian released Boss Don and became a wanted criminal.
The second part is Bryan's one-man show. He was told by the police that he would kill the villain, so he cleared the case. As a result, Bryan teamed up to complete the task and successfully cleared the case and returned to the police.
In the fourth part, Mrs. Tang’s girlfriend was killed, and he wanted to find the murderer and get revenge. On the other hand, Brian was working on the case. What he wanted to catch was the murderer Mr. Tang was looking for. The two of them had reached the same goal. In the end, the murderer was killed. The boss became a murderer, and Brian was still a hero and cherished the hero, so he decided to fall into the grass to rescue the boss and formally join the group.
Part 5,Boss Don and Brian wanted to vote for the golden basin to wash their hands. They locked the boss. At this time, the new police character Hobbs also wanted to get the boss. So Don boss Brian Hobbs teamed up to get the boss. In the end, Huo Booth is also a hero and cherishes heroes, so he decided to let them go, but he didn't expect that Donald Trump would still take away 100 million US dollars.
In the sixth part, Hobbes united with Mrs. Don and his team to fight the big villain, saying that as long as the task is completed, Mr. Tang and their case can be washed away. In the end, the black and white combination succeeded again. Killed the big villain.
In the seventh installment, in the last issue, the villain’s elder brother Shaw, the bald head, found Mr. Tang and a group of people to avenge his younger brother, so he teamed up with the gang to deal with the team of Mr. Tang. In the end, the boss won, the gang died, and the gang was bald. Knocked to jail.
The eighth part, the villain of the fourth part in front, and the boss behind the villain Owen Shaw of Braga sixth part, is here. This woman is the real cruel character, kidnapping the old people of Tang and making him his own Fighting, grabbing super weapons, strong eyes, grabbing nuclear bomb launchers, nuclear submarines have to get a big vote, but Don’s boss and Hobbes shaved Shaw teamed up to make a round, let the beautiful villain’s conspiracy ruined, and finally the beautiful villain fled. Now, in the back section.
In the ninth and tenth parts, he should still come out to do things. A brief review of the main story, you should also be easy to see that the game between the two orders is fast. In the series, one kind of social order is the power of the state, that is, police Brian Hobbs, and their other kind of social order is the underground order, that is, the beauty villains, the gangsters and Don bosses, but please note that all the protagonists don’t care. Whether they are black or white, they are all at the bottom of their respective orders. Whether the police or Taiyuan, they are all executors of state power.
is the small soldier. The boss of Tang and his gang are also engaged in robbery. They seem to be playing very lively, but they have no big ambitions. So far in the whole series, the real villain Saifu is different. He is underground. The boss of order, what he wants to do is not simply grab some money, but also represent the underground order and subvert the state power. And these protagonists, the dark boss and the gang can be said to be thieves, they are indeed criminals. .
but their way of survival,But in the face of big right and wrong, they showed their chivalrous side again. The same goes for Brian and Hobbs. They can be said to be chivalrous men. On the one hand, they represent the power of the country to eliminate violence and peace. Admire, if you watch a lot of martial arts movies, you will find that this is not the temple and the rivers and lakes? One of the police and the Speeding Party is in the temple, and the other is in the arena. They are tied together by affection and morality, or to sum it up in a narrow sense. In a society, there will be all kinds of underworlds, that is, the power of the state. Together with underground rights, they have created a social order. What everyone seeks is a balance, and it cannot be the death of one side, and there should be people who disrupt the balance on the other side.
For example, Saifu wants to use nuclear weapons to disrupt the balance of this social order. Then at this time, the chivalrous man will come forward, and the quick shock series can be sold and sold well. In addition to the visual sensory stimulation, this chivalrous spirit is the deep reason why he makes people like it. The inspiration for the birth of the Speedy series is the underground racing party of Boston , so at the beginning of the series, racing is the core element of the movie, but this routine will not work after the Chinese director Lin Yibin took over. , Speedy Three Tokyo Drift encountered a box office loss, so in Speedy Four, Lin Yibing began to add more criminal elements and action scenes, although the core element of drag racing still exists, but began to play down this change more and more. , Successfully rescued the Quick Excitation series, Quick Excitation IV achieved box office success, and also promoted the entire series to the scale of Hollywood A-level blockbusters.
The style change of Speedy IV to Speedy V is even more obvious. The production cost of Speedy V has reached 125 million US dollars. If you spend so much money, if you just engage in drag racing, it will definitely not be enough, so you have to Create a visual wonder. In this episode, the planes and tanks are all here, and the big scene is very popular. This makes Su Jiwu a super cool movie, conquering action movie fans all over the world, and the box office reached 426 million US dollars. After that, the investment cost of the six-speed seven-speed-kiba has continued to increase, and the investment cost of the six-speed-kiba is as high as 250 million U.S. dollars, but there is no change in the model.The scale of the crime is getting bigger and bigger, and the scene is getting bigger and bigger.
But please note that while these visual spectacles continue to increase, the essential core of the quick-excitation series has not changed. As mentioned before, the speeding family is described in the game between state power and underground power, the two social orders. For the love and morality, Su Qi to Suqi 8 introduced a new role, Hobbes played by Dashi Johnson. This role is very important, because when Brian is completely defeated, the pillar of national power disappears. , And Hobbs’ debut is to fill this part. From the perspective of a series of commercial films, this idea is very clear. The original successful things must be retained by all means, and then more on this basis. The visual organ is like a best-selling chicken chop rice. How to upgrade it?
First, you cannot change the cooking method of the chicken steak. If the taste changes, it will be too risky. The second is to provide a larger chicken steak. More side dishes users will continue to be willing to pay. Therefore, from Su Ji 5 to Su Ji 8, investment costs continue to increase, and the box office continues to rise, of which Su Ji 7 is an exception, because the unexpected death of the lead actor Paul Walker stimulated the audience’s massive emotional recognition and made this movie The global box office broke through 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and it is also the best-selling part of the entire Quick Excitation series. The main reason why Su Ji 9 is not seen by the audience is that the core of this series has changed, without Hobbes. Whether there is a counter-reinforcement of the new heavyweight role, leading to the break of the pillar of state power, and the game between the two orders is impossible to talk about.
The villain has become the brother of Tang boss, no matter how it ends, it is actually very difficult to come back round. The brotherhood within the speed family is even more difficult to impress the audience. There is no fight for love, and the Jiuli Tang boss organization is quickly stimulated. The purpose has even become purely to maintain world peace, which has also wiped out the moral and justice that once moved people's hearts. You will find that Su Ji Jiu has almost overthrown all the foundations of previous success, and there is only a large amount of money left in the movie. A visual spectacle, the protagonists are not like a speed party at all, they are more like superheroes. They can't be killed no matter how they shoot, and they won't be injured even if they crash. And the so-called highlight of the space on the speed vehicle is really sloppy. You said the audience, especially How can the hardcore fans of the Swift series not scold the streets?
