On the first day, the box office was less than 1 10,000, and the Band of Seven lost. Is this movie good or not?

At the beginning of the release of Band of Seven, I expected that the box office would be unsatisfactory, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. The first day's box office was less than 6.5438+0 million (plus box office), and the total box office was only predicted to be more than 5 million. The lineup of "The Seven" is unprecedented, but it is also unique. After all, with Director Lin Lingdong gone, the box office failed for the following reasons.

Reasons for the low box office of Band of Seven

First, Shen Teng and Mary's Moon Man are too powerful, accounting for 60% of the films. Other films are basically cannon fodder players. Second, the film itself is a patchwork form, and many viewers tend to think it is a "Me and Me" series, which may be a little aesthetic fatigue.

Third, the fans of "Band of Seven" are so strong that seven directors express themselves and are not too worried about the feelings of the audience. Fourth, many cinemas don't arrange Cantonese soundtracks, and the Mandarin dubbing is seriously poor, which affects the viewing experience.

The sevens have a strong lineup.

Formerly known as Eight and a Half, the Seven-member Band began to prepare for filming as early as 20 14, with Du Qifeng as the protagonist, Hong Kong as the background and S of 1950 as the starting point. Eight directors drew lots to choose one of them, and then made a short film with "film" for more than ten minutes.

Later, John Woo quit due to physical reasons and was "vacated" at 1970' s, and was renamed "Seven-member Band". Sammo Hung, Xu Anhua, Tan Jiaming, Yuan Heping, Du Qifeng, Lin Lingdong and Tsui Hark played music together, and seven directors played seven unrelated stories with different musical instruments to bid farewell to the past.

Why did Du Qifeng take the lead? He didn't start shooting with a digital camera until 20 10. Originally, he wanted to continue to use "film", but the producer told him that if there was no film, he would have to develop it elsewhere. At this time, Du Qifeng realized that the original time for "filming" had passed, and he was a little sad. Coupled with his fame, it was because of the "movie" that he came up with the idea of making this movie and decided to invite a group of old friends to pay tribute to the "movie".

It has been recognized by international film festivals for many times, and its reputation is amazing and innocent.

The band of seven has won many awards at home and abroad. He has been selected for the 73rd Cannes International Film Festival, Tokyo FILMeX International Film Festival, Busan International Film Festival, Hong Kong International Film Festival and many other well-known film festivals, and has been selected as the opening film for many times. At the premiere of A Tribute to the Movie in Beijing, the video was once again praised by mainland audiences.

Many fans bluntly said that "the seven great masters have their own characteristics and interpreted the humanistic picture of the Pearl of the Orient" and "the movie screen is always a classic". Some peers in the industry lamented that "every story represents a life, simple and sincere", and some media bluntly said that "the most anticipated Hong Kong film of the year is well-deserved". From a large number of real word of mouth, we can see that "Band of Seven" lives up to the expectations of fans and is a masterpiece worthy of appreciation.
