When it comes to the box office of movies, the first topic that will be brought up must be "number one at the box office" .
Although the blockbuster sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" released in the Spring Festival this year has exceeded 4.6 billion , it is still far from the 5.6 billion "Wolf Warrior 2" that has always occupied the first place .
After all, patriotic movies are always the main theme that most easily resonates with the people.
Korea is the same,
As of this year's Spring Festival, their "number one box office" has always been this historical war movie released in 2014 - "The Battle of Liangming Sea" , which tells the story of the patriotic general Yi Sun-sin leading the North Korean Navy to defeat the Japanese fleet with less patriotism. story.
But after the Spring Festival, history reversed.
A hit movie "Extreme Profession" born during the Spring Festival , with 9.5 billion investment (about 56 million yuan), won 137 billion box office (about 813 million yuan),
Beyond "Liang Minghai Battle", it has become the first box office in Korean film history!
Moreover, this "Extreme Profession" has nothing to do with patriotism or national honor. It's just a pure police and bandit comedy ? ? ?
what reason? ? ?
Wait for the editor to analyze and analyze.
The protagonists in the film are a group of unreliable drug detectives.
Although this group of people clocked in on time every day, they were stunned to be able to turn the noble profession of police into a decadent and poor social animal style——
Since the funding for solving the case is not high, everyone is afraid to do anything, for fear that they will lose money for "destroying every needle and thread of the common people".
Therefore, their performance in catching prisoners is not as cool as a police and bandit action movie, but instead presents a cruel contrast between "you in your eyes" and "you in other people's eyes" .
yourself in your eyes-
You in the eyes of others—
If things go on like this, the anti-narcotics team not only has a low case-solving rate, but also often becomes stupid when handling cases, and will be dismissed by the police station on the spot every minute.
At this moment, the serious crime team leader invited them to join hands to solve the case, and shared an important clue——
The big drug lord Li Wupei recently returned to China to resume his old business;
His gangster, Hong Subi, was calling a group of drug dealers in the name of a labor agency.
Therefore, the police also adopted a strategy of division of labor and cooperation:
The anti-drug team is responsible for guarding the labor intermediaries. Once they get evidence of their drug trafficking, they will immediately arrest Li Wupei;
The serious crime team is dedicated to arresting Hong Xabi.
As a result, the anti-drug team quickly rushed to the scene, and in the fried chicken shop opposite the labor agency, they started a week of all-weather squatting...
Since they could not reveal their identities, they pretended to be guests and spy on drug dealers while eating fried chicken.
Unexpectedly, before they got the evidence, a few people spit on themselves first, and the fried chicken shop, which was not doing well, closed down soon.
In order to complete the task of squatting and guarding, the team leader had to break the boat, take out the pension, and put down the fried chicken shop.
They turned the restaurant into a monitoring room, intending to quickly complete the search and arrest.
In order to complete the task of squatting and guarding, the team leader had to break the boat, take out the pension, and put down the fried chicken shop.
They turned the restaurant into a monitoring room, intending to quickly complete the search and arrest.
But unexpectedly , the plot deviated again--
Their fried chicken shop has skyrocketed in customer traffic. On the first day, there were thirteen tables of customers, including drug dealers.
This caused everyone to be monitoring the first second, and then scrambling to clean up the scene the next second...
Later, a few people also concocted a pork-rib-flavored fried chicken by accident, which attracted foodies rushing to punch in, and the fried chicken shop became an "Internet celebrity shop" in seconds.
Now let's not talk about monitoring and arresting drug dealers. They are so tired that they are about to vomit blood every day just to deal with the customers in the store.
What's more unfortunate is that before the anti-drug team can find evidence, the drug dealers cautiously moved out because the fried chicken shop was too busy...
If you are careful, you must have discovered that this kind of plot trend seems to be somewhat similar to the domestic film "Lobster Detective" .
So some people say that, judging by the release time, this "Extreme Profession" is clearly a remake.
In fact, it's not plagiarism or remake, it's just using the same script,
The script was recognized for its high degree of completion and peculiar settings, so it was adapted and cast in China and South Korea, and released at different times.
The slap in the face is that they used the same script, one became the number one movie in film history, and the other did not even pass.
The contrast is too strong, it is easy to cause discomfort...
The reason why the Korean version can lie down and win is that it is enough to kill the Chinese version by just taking out the aspect of "character building and image fullness" .
Team leader Gao shoulders the mission of leading the entire team, but also faces the disappointment of his wife and the anxiety of middle age.
I can't make a lot of money and I can't solve a big case, and I live a dignified life.
Officer Zhang is a carefree woman, and Officer Ma, who is a bit cheap, is very concerned about other people's comments about his appearance;
Yinghu is a sullen man who is loyal to his duties, Zaixun is a newcomer who is not deep in the world, and his eyes are still clear and innocent...
The success of the fried chicken shop has given them new impetus to realize that they are not just nothing.
From the affirmation of the taste of the fried chicken, to the praise from the guests to the booming business, they cheered and sank again and again.
After all, they are the police.
But it is fried chicken that can bring long-lost comfort and encouragement.
Here is the biggest highlight of the film -
It finds the purest resonance between the police and the merchants,
Both are working hard to support their families and realize their self-worth .
In particular, the comedy that it combines with the development of the story is not low -level at all.
5 people danced and held a placard at the door of the store because of the irregular business, saying "we reflect on" the part, they laughed like pigs, did you!
There are also aunts who are not afraid of armed gangsters in South Korea. They can be seen everywhere...
Dare to push me? Steal my car?
Boy, are you afraid that you are tired of living? ? ?
Of course, the funny part of this film is more than that.
Otherwise, others will not help reminding you: brother dei, it's time to take medicine...
Let's go back to the movie "Extreme Profession" itself, its greatest success lies in-
Korean filmmakers' mastery of commercial genre films.
As a movie with a clear genre positioning, it is light-paced, attractive in story concept, and achieves a balance between the two types of narratives of small-person comedy and police and crime.
In addition, the characters of each character are very three-dimensional and distinct, which has already made the film successful for the most part.
But then again, the result of the same script is that one failed and bad reviews, and the other broke the box office.
The gap between the two films may be the gap between domestic films and Korean films.
This gap does not lie in the production level of the film industry, but in the professionalism and attentiveness of Korean filmmakers in localized production .
This may be the place where domestic films need to learn and learn from.
