Li An is of course the light of the Chinese people. "Pi" won him two Oscars and successfully made him a god in China.

"Billy Lynn" was highly praised by the audience before its release.

It is both leading the future of film and creating a new film vocabulary.

But Li An himself was not lost in the praise of domestic audiences. He was still worried about the film.

"I don't know whether it opened up new hope or created new traps." His own words should not be false.

Obviously, the overlap between online reviews and those who actually bought tickets to watch the movie is not very high.

Although the Internet is still full of positive reviews, there are also netizens who say that it is hard to get a ticket, and they are searching for various details in the movie.

"Netizens praised Director Li An for being 'compassionate and compassionate' and for his superb skills. He showed the feelings of a boy who is not recognized in a 'heartbreaking' way. Many viewers couldn't stop crying after watching it. The richness of the film

The connotation of the film has also been hotly discussed by the audience on social networks. Netizens spontaneously interpreted the elements of soldiers, American society, religion and other elements in the film, setting off a wave of discussion in this "hottest November in history" and attracting more movie fans to go to the theater.

N brush' to find more details."

But none of this can change the dismal first-day box office result of "Billy Lynn" of 24.46 million.

"As for the film's box office performance, some industry insiders predict that with strong reputation and excellent quality, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is expected to make strong progress in the later period and occupy a place in the 'crowded' November schedule. Related

People pointed out that the 2012 "Life of Pi" was suppressed in the early stage of its release. It relied on the audience's word-of-mouth to counterattack and became a dark horse at the box office that year. According to industry insiders, "Billy Lynn's Middle School"

"Battlefield" faces a similar situation to "Pi", but with the long-term success brought by its excellent reputation, the film's box office is expected to suddenly rise in the later period."

However, that week's champion was firmly locked up by "Stop Killing" with a score of 227 million, trampling on "Billy Lynn" with 80 million.

Although "Billy Lynn" topped the word-of-mouth list on Douban for a week with a rating of 8.5, it also became the highest-rated live-action movie in theaters so far this year.

But this cannot conceal the reality that "Billy Lynn" has been met with failure.

"Stop Killing" only has a score of 7.5 on Douban.

Those who give negative reviews usually say that the movie does not capture the Chinese martial arts style, but "is a re-skinned Hollywood action movie."

Currently, only two theaters in China, Beijing and Shanghai, can support the top-quality "Billy Lynn". Golden Harvest also said last year that it would upgrade its equipment to match the playback of the movie. They also believe that Li An will create miracles again.

But Qin Ranqiu rejected it.

The reason is that 120-frame equipment is too expensive, and Li An is not a commercial film director like Cameron who leads the world in film technology. He is also not optimistic about Li An's attempt.

Facts have proved that Qin Ranqiu's decision was correct.

Mainstream audiences don't care about the so-called frame rate and parameters at all, as well as the so-called humanistic care and rich movie details. They won't eat 120 frames.

The high ticket price of the top-end format has turned away a lot of viewers.

And the boring theme of "Billy Lynn" is not something that mainstream audiences are willing to accept.

Literary films should have the market positioning that a literary film should have.

After Liu Yifei returned to Beijing, she took Cheng Yuan to watch "Billy Lynn" again.

Liu Yifei had never seen it before, and she frowned after watching it.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yu'an asked with a smile.

"I can't tell." Liu Yifei thought for a while and said, "It feels very strange. The level is definitely not low. I like it very much, but it's just weird."

Liu Yifei's feeling was right. Cheng Yu'an said: ""Pi" overdraws too much of Li An's thoughts. Billy Lynn's confusion and confusion have never been Li An's own. It's too twisted.

"Using the protagonist's PTSD to fight against the war did not do it more thoroughly. The core of the whole drama is too restrained and too oriental. Even if this movie were changed to 60 frames, the performance would not be very good. It has nothing to do with 120 frames.

"

Li An said before that if the movie doesn't look good, blame me, not the technology.

Of course there is nothing wrong with the technology itself. Is there something wrong with Qvod’s technology? But there is something wrong with the things it makes.

The same problem also appeared in "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".

The circular framing also challenges the audience’s viewing aesthetics.

However, Feng Xiaogang's domestic fundamentals are not comparable to Li An's.

The first-day sales of 70 million is an affirmation of director Xiaogang’s bold experiment.

But there are many people who like to watch Feng Xiaogang, and there are also a lot of people who don't like Feng Xiaogang.

Some people criticized the movie for being "pretend to be clever" and "self-righteous."

"The circular screen format minimizes the visual area of ​​the picture, and combined with a large number of medium and long shots, deliberately makes the audience unable to see the actors' faces and facial expressions, ignoring the acting skills. This is really clever!"

Cheng Yu'an has watched it and thinks this movie is more interesting than "Billy Lynn".

But the problem is still the same. Zhang Yimou's "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is the best. Feng Xiaogang will definitely compare it with it when he makes this movie. Moreover, Fan Xiaopang's appearance really does not look like a rural woman.

Gong Li's appearance in "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is really tacky.

However, "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" still took in 205 million at the box office in the three days of its first weekend, knocking "Stop Killing" from the top spot.

"Stop Killing" ranked second with 145 million this week, and third place was "Doctor Strange", which was released for 17 days, with 133 million.

There is a blockbuster blockbuster coming next week - "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and all the films are facing a formidable enemy, trying their best to harvest as much box office as possible before it is released.

This morning, Cheng Yuan had breakfast at home and planned to watch the later episodes of "The Wandering Earth".

"Dad, hold me." When her daughter saw that he was about to go out, she quickly held him back.

"You finish your meal first." Cheng Yu'an pointed to the beef patties in her bowl.

Cheng Mufan grabbed the remaining half of the cake with his hands and ate it in small bites.

Liu Yifei put down the kuaizi and said: "Eat slowly, eat half and miss out the other half. You know it's hard for every grain."

How could Qiqi understand this?

After finishing the meal in two or three mouthfuls: "Hug, outside."

"You're waiting here for me. You know dad is going out, so you want to go out and play with me, right?"

"Um."

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an took her daughter off the baby chair, "Let's wash our hands first."

After holding her daughter and washing her hands, Cheng Yu'an deliberately said to her daughter: "If you want to go out to play, you have to ask your mother if she agrees."

Cheng Mufan looked at his mother with wide eyes, walked up to Liu Yifei and patted her: "Hello, mom."

"Don't say such nice things," Liu Yifei said, "Don't make trouble for dad, you know?"

"Baby." Cheng Mufan patted his belly.

"Kiss mom." Liu Yifei leaned towards her face.

"Mua!" Cheng Muchan kissed his mother hard.

"Go ahead."

"Hey hey hey." Cheng Mufan happily hugged his father's leg.

"Remember to watch her eat," Liu Yifei hung the bottle around her daughter's neck and told her husband, "Let her sleep at noon, otherwise I won't care if she wakes up in the middle of the night."

"I know, I know, it's not the first day I've taken her with me." Cheng Yu'an said impatiently, "Bye bye to mom."

"Mom, Mua!" she said and blew a kiss.

"Come on, hurry up, you little thing can coax people."

After the father and daughter left, Liu Yifei began to exercise after cooking.

After a while, the phone rang.
