Traditional sketch hunting in Chaoshan

Jackie Chan's Detective Pu Songling is not a bad movie from the perspective of commercial movies, but it is a bad movie from the perspective of China fantasy movies.

Jackie Chan's latest costume fantasy movie "Detective Pu Songling" has greatly increased the box office for these reasons.

Issue 1: Detective Pu Songling is not Jackie Chan's specialty.

Jackie Chan is good at action comedy. He has a mature industrial sector like a homemade class, and has accumulated profound experience in film shooting for decades.

Jackie Chan will only try kung fu action movies and related fields when he is older. If we surpass other fields, let alone any literary drama.

Even War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression movies like Flying Tiger on the Railway and sci-fi action movies like Blood of Machines.

Although there are many action scenes, there is also a strange sense of combing with Jackie Chan's long-standing good action comedy routines. However, Jackie Chan will shoot his own beautiful action comedies, works after the zodiac, such as Kung Fu Yoga, Jedi Escape and so on.

Jackie Chan is limited to his age. In the end, no matter the action design or other aspects, many action designs will be insufficient, and then the comedy bridge will be reused. The audience will naturally not buy it.

Jackie Chan's only well-received film in recent years, England vs. Britain, has a role that fits Jackie Chan's age very well. The doddering figure, the action that can't be performed, the persistence of being old, combined with the plot of European and American directors, are really wonderful.

Because this "Detective Pu Songling" is China's fantasy film, there are a lot of magical fighting scenes in it, and naturally there is no performance in the action comedy that Jackie Chan is good at.

Second, China fantasy movies have rotted in the streets.

In the past ten years, since Zhang Yimou's Hero in 2002, there have been a large number of Chinese movies with costume blockbusters, but the theme types are all historical martial arts, and there were not many fantasy and magic at that time.

After the painted skin 1 in 2008, it was still Tsui Hark's "Kingdom of Heaven" by 20 10 Di. Later, Stephen Chow Journey to the West series, Zheng Baorui Journey to the West series, Xu Chengyi monster hunt series and so on appeared.

There are not many fantasy movies mentioned above with good reputation. Not to mention other movies, such as Enchanting Zhong Kui, Legend of the Gods, to the sky kingdom, The Great Wall, Legend of the Dragon, Daoism, Wulin Supreme and so on.

China's fantasy blockbusters have long been spoiled by those movies on the market.

China audience will suffer from aesthetic fatigue, and their acceptance will naturally decrease a lot.

Third, Detective Pu Songling passed the special effects test but was mediocre.

The special effects of this film are better, but the theme is not as fresh as that of science fiction The Wandering Earth. Secondly, the special effects of this movie are not bad, but not as amazing as The Four Kings of Renjie.

Secondly, the detective Pu Songling imitates "Hunting Monsters", which is similar to the movie routines of historical celebrities in "Di Renjie". However, the level of special effects is not as good as Tsui Hark's imagination (although they are all bad), and there is no Di Renjie in Detective Work and Monster Hunt in Family Happiness.

Detective Pu Songling feels that everything depends on a little, but when it is combined, it is quite normal and mediocre.

Finally, the cultural connotation of China fantasy films, represented by Detective Pu Songling, is lacking.

Actually, it's not just Detective Pu Songling. In the past ten years, all China fantasy movies have been the same. Except for a few movies, most of them have a huge problem.

The Wandering Earth is being broadcasted, in which the connotation of China Homeland and China's ideology and culture are deeply loved by the audience.

These China fantasy films don't reflect the traditional culture of China, even the most basic artistic aesthetics and special effects production.

In the end, it is irrelevant, no three no four, neither fish nor fowl.

Obviously it is an oriental fantasy, but there are western castles, western monsters, western art and western aesthetic culture everywhere.

Detective Pu Songling is better, not so westernized, but it is completely oriental.

As shown in the above picture, there is a monster in the small house behind Jackie Chan, and there are a lot of monsters in the feature film. These artistic aesthetics and production styles.

I don't know if you have seen a Japanese movie, Kamakura Times by Masao Sakai.

The artistic aesthetics and monster style are exactly the same as this movie. A fantasy movie in China turns out to be the same as an oriental fantasy movie.

Coupled with the above reasons, fans naturally have no good feelings and cannot form a word-of-mouth effect. Ordinary audiences naturally have no intimacy and the box office is poor.

Finally, Detective Pu Songling is only a commercial fantasy film with good performance, but if we delve into the fantasy culture of China, it will be a downright bad film.
