The first wave of word-of-mouth of "749 Bureau" is really a large-scale rollover scene. As the protagonist of this film, Wang Junkai was once again pushed to the cusp of the "King of Bad Movies", and the reactions of netizens after watching it can be said to be even more exciting than the movie itself. Everyone thought that the movie would bring at least some freshness, but as a result, the whole process was full of "inexplicable" scenes and sensationalism. Some people even exaggerated to describe that after sitting in the cinema for more than ten minutes, they began to desperately want to escape, which shows that there are so many slots in this movie that people can't bear it.
The funniest thing is that some netizens associate "749 Bureau" with "Nine-Story Demon Tower", and even questioned that this movie was originally "Nine-Story Demon Tower 2", and later changed its name for fear of being scolded. Although this is just a joke in the market, I have to say that such ridicule also exposes the audience's disappointment with Director Lu Chuan. As a movie that focuses on science fiction and mystery, the result is confusing from beginning to end. After watching the movie reviews, many people call it "chaos", this is not ordinary chaos, from the story structure to the character setting to the fight scenes, it is completely a messy stew.
"Sensationalism is inexplicable, the logic of the characters is confused, and the world view is put together at will", these words have become the standard for the audience to complain about "749 Bureau".
In addition, Wang Junkai, the protagonist in the film, seems to have been completely reduced to a "tool man", and his sense of existence is so thin that people wonder if he is the protagonist.
This has to make people question, is the filmmaker relying on the plot to pull the audience, or relying on traffic stars to attract attention? Judging from the reactions of netizens, it is obvious that the traffic has overturned.
In fact, it is not the first time that Wang Junkai's performance in this film has been directly linked to the quality of the film. Before "Shanghai Fortress", Lu Han was burdened with a bad movie, but now it is Wang Junkai's turn, and everyone seems to have no expectations, just silently avoiding lightning.
Especially those comments that "Wang Junkai must be a bad movie when he is here" are more like labeling him as an exclusive "bad movie". The participation of traffic stars should be a double-edged sword, but these films have no hardcore support in the plot, and no matter how hard the actors work, it is difficult to save the situation.
The "trial" of the film critics industry is coming soon, and the comments in the Douban short review area have exploded, first all kinds of good reviews, followed by overwhelming bad reviews, which makes people wonder if the audience has watched two completely different movies.
Someone bluntly said: "I want to refund the ticket after watching it for ten minutes", this is not a momentary emotional outburst, but despair about the quality of the movie. Some netizens even said that this movie can be directly side by side with "Shanghai Fortress 2", and the degree of chaos makes people think that they are watching an unpolished PPT display.
An interesting phenomenon here is that a lot of sensational means were used in the promotion of the movie, and the tears of director Lu Chuan during the roadshow, as well as the story of 8 years of preparation behind it, made people look forward to it. However, everyone soon discovered that these "bitter cards" could not make up for the shortcomings of the film itself.
The audience is no longer the fans who were moved by sensational words back then, and the current market is very cruel, the content is not good, and all emotional stories are in vain.
Another reflection brought to us by "749 Bureau" is that the film industry really can't rely on traffic stars and gorgeous packaging to support, the audience has already become shrewd, and no matter how bad movies are dressed, they have to go to the trial table in the end.
This "mysterious science fiction" directed by Lu Chuan may also have to face this cruel reality.
Those fans who are looking forward to Wang Junkai's breakthrough may have to wait a little longer, after all, if traffic stars want to get rid of the hat of "bad movie king", it seems that it is far from enough to cry desperately and sell miserably.
So in the end, the editor wants to ask: Is it because the director's ability can't keep up, or are these traffic stars really unable to carry the banner? Do you think traffic stars are still worth investing in?
