It's time to reverse the case of "Wuji"

In all fairness, in the three domestic blockbusters "The Banquet", "Full of Golden Armor" and "Wuji" in those two years, Wuji was the best. Although Wuji's narrative is not particularly good, it is still quite satisfactory, unlike the silent plots copied from the two parts.
Moreover, the pictures of Wuji are particularly beautiful. It is the best Chinese film I have ever watched (the hero is called coloring, which is not the same as beauty).
Wuji's biggest mistake is just the accent of the actor. Chen Kaige didn't use dubbing at the time. There are also a few small details that are a bit nonsense, but in fact they are harmless. There are not many people scolding a movie like Chibi, but Wuji is actually nothing.
After all, Wuji was scolded by so many people mainly because of Hu Ge's "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun". Before the steamed buns came out, although the public had scolded them, it was not a total denial, nor was everyone scolding Wuji.
After the steamed buns were released, there was no longer anything that said they were good on the market. But in my opinion, the spoof of steamed buns is nothing more than a smile, and it is on the same level as "Perfect" and "Hands Up". There is no need to lift it to the sky.
In addition, Promise may have been a bit over-promotional at the time, but in fact, in the Chinese market, publicity is the number one factor in determining the box office, and Promise is understandable.
After a few years, Wuji, as the first oriental fantasy film, still has many merits.

Supplementary Note
1: I didn't say how good this film is, but I just can't understand that such invincible and bad films as "Iron Man" can be very popular these days,
but Promise seems to have become the worst movie ever. I think Promise is at least a passing film. Good review of a movie
bad, the standard narrative and image, rather than accents and marketing, more than providing the ability to spoof material. Like "Mahjong," "Ghost
child is coming" this film is also still able to come up with a "Murder Caused by a **" to, but I want to and we can not deny
their level.

2: Don't compare "The Promise" with "Farewell My Concubine", but compare it with a film like "Golden Armor". In the 1990s, Zhang and Chen
made some relatively literary and artistic films, but under such circumstances, Chinese films almost collapsed by the end of the 1990s.
Film shoot artistic level is good, but look at Taiwan, each director Edward Yang wants to do, the end result is Taiwan Electrical and
shadow to rely on grant money until the possessor of this year's "Cape." Edward Yang's film like this, really good, I am also particularly fond of
a laugh, but the first may not have the patience to see a lot of people did not think Xianxin, the second might see people mostly from the network to download
(of course, the movie never Yang Released in mainland China). If you shoot more of this kind of film, you may have a lot of awards, but you ca
n't make money. Making a movie is not like writing a book. No money means nothing. Mainstream Chinese films have to go big production investment large tract of
road. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, we must support the exploration on this road, and the public has already supported it at the box office.
