The box office of ＂Guild Wars＂ broke through the billion yuan mark, and Zhang Jiahui’s performance was praised
"Guild Wars" "Undefeated" Edition Poster
"It’s good-looking, but after watching it, I feel a little strangely confused. For example, like many people, I expected the battle scene to be exciting before entering the scene, but after watching it, I couldn’t say it; you thought the whole film would be a very tense and serious movie, like or that, but it turned out to be not…" Just as the Hong Kong writer Wang Yixing said in his comments, this "Guild War" directed by Lin Chaoxian and starring Zhang Jiahui, Peng Yuyan and others brought a sense of surprise to too many ordinary audiences. The relaxed laughter outside the blood boiling made it a really surprising Chinese movie in the summer of 2013. As of August 26, the box office results of "Guild Wars" exceeded the 100 million yuan mark. Although the process was difficult, the laughter and applause from the audience and the spontaneous word-of-mouth praise between each screening were the best encouragement for this industry conscience work besides the ticket price of tens of yuan. At the same time, a poster titled "Undefeated Life" was also exposed, and the film will continue to "fight" in the summer film market.
Lin Chaoxian’s passion and tenderness
Chen Jiashang, the director who once brought Lin Chaoxian out, immediately said after watching the film at the premiere of "Guild Wars": "This is Lin Chaoxian’s best work so far!" Of course, this is not a casual statement. "Guild Wars" is "bright" and "transcendent" compared to "Witness" and "Informant", and can completely withstand the test of audience reputation and comments from all sides. "Do you think these formulaic boxing movies are heavy? No, the rhythm is smooth, the literary drama and martial arts are tightly interwoven, combined with blood and sweat, and there are tears in the smile. Zhang Jiahui, the poor dysfunctional young woman Mei Ting and the young daughter Li Xinqiao see the truth in adversity, warm and sincere. Li Xinqiao is very lively and cute, and she is delightful. She is like a stroke of God and runs through the whole play. As for the fighting part, it is quite realistic.
In the words of columnist Jin Qingsong, it is not difficult to realize that the director Lin Chaoxian pours out the same passion and tenderness into this work as before. Of course, Lin Chaoxian’s tenderness is not only there, because the length of the film is limited, and he also wants to add the unfinished interest in this story as an "easter egg" into the closing credits. If you are not in a hurry to leave the scene before the end of the film, but patiently take a few minutes and pay attention to the photos interspersed in the closing credits, you can find that the director’s explanation of the later development of the characters in the film may have another feeling.
Amazing Zhang Jiahui
"You thought that Zhang Jiahui would try to show you the whole film with the serious expression of’wooden mouth ‘like’The Informer’ or’Witness’, but you can’t help but see the bone-changing dragon that we miss and are familiar with again and again, making you Gag (cold joke) and making you laugh. From the time he pretended to be happy in front of Lu Mixue, to the time he played a male-male kissing joke with Peng Yuyan, you will not be able to help it…" I believe this kind of comment will be very close to most people’s feelings. However, Zhang Jiahui’s contribution to "Guild Wars" is not only that.
If you pay attention to Zhang Jiahui’s works, he is completely dedicated to everything in "Witness", "Informer", and other films. This time, for his role in "Guild Wars", Zhang Jiahui went through hell-style hard work and trained himself to a reborn body. Competing with Peng Yuyan in the limelight, he made this good movie. Coupled with the warmth and comedy of "Cheap Hui", it created a different Zhang Jiahui, which once again made the audience exclaim.
Zhang Jiahui’s will is admirable. After watching "Guild Wars", countless people have the urge to get up in the morning to exercise, but it is unknown when they will wake up the next morning. As the saying goes, non-professionals should not imitate at will, "Maybe the only one who can learn from Zhang Jiahui is to take the same nickname as him in the film: Xiao Hui." In the face of "Guild Wars", can we only laugh at ourselves like the writer Ma Jiahui? Not necessarily, it’s up to you!
