There are still ten days left before the college entrance examination on May 28. In addition to "5 Centimeters Per Second", there are also ghost movies "Desolate Village 2", action movies "Rare and Harder", martial arts movies "The Last Swordsman" and romance movies currently in theaters.

"The Hundredth Date", and "Three Cross Roads" which will be finished soon.

The day after the premiere, 3,317 theaters will screen this cartoon called "Five Centimeters per Second". Fans of Cheng Xiaoyu in various cities hope to have a sneak peek. However, after just one hour of watching the movie, most of them

However, the audience felt that it was far less good-looking than "My Sassy Girl".

At this moment, Shanghai Satellite TV's "New World of Entertainment" was broadcasting news about reporters standing in front of the cinema doing random interviews. The beautiful reporter stopped two good-looking girls and asked: "Classmates, what movie are you watching?"

""Five Centimeters per Second"" one of the cute girls replied.

The reporter asked again: "Do you think it looks good?"

Another taller girl replied: "The picture is beautiful, very good-looking, but it is too short, and the ending is a bit too sad. We are senior high school students, and we are here specifically to support Teacher Cheng!" As soon as this girl finished speaking, the cute person next to her

The little girl even shouted, "Teacher Cheng, I love you." Then she hid behind the tall girl.

After the reporter wished the two girls good luck in the college entrance examination, he stopped a couple and asked, "What movie did you two watch?"

"Five Centimeters per Second." The boy replied.

"So what do you think of Director Cheng's new work?"

The boy said: "I think it's too bland and doesn't have much content. How should I put it? It's just the romantic love stories of ordinary middle school students. I don't think it's very touching. I also feel that the male protagonist is too pretentious."

The reporter pointed the microphone at the girl again and asked: "Then what do you think?"

The girl replied: "I think it's pretty good among Chinese cartoons! The pictures are really beautiful, but the plot is a bit messy."

Then the reporter saw several boys who were all wearing glasses and were a little fat. He stopped them and asked, "May I ask what movie you were watching?"

These guys were obviously otaku manga fans, and they said, "I watched "5 Centimeters Per Second"."

"Then do you think it looks good?"

Several people pushed each other and were too embarrassed to speak to the camera. Finally, the beautiful reporter pointed the microphone at one of the thinner ones. He pushed up his glasses and said: "Well, this picture can indeed be taken as a desktop. But

There are so many things worth complaining about in the plot. Are there so many cherry blossoms in Shanghai? There should be more plane trees in Shanghai! Why are the names all like Japanese names? Akari, Guishu, and Hanamiao, I really can’t complain.

Please ask a Japanese painter, I can understand, what the hell is a Japanese name?"

The boy with pimples next to him also chimed in: "There are also Chinese trains from the 1990s. The paintings are more like Japanese trains, which is really a bit weird. The Japanese style is too strong... Anyway,

, compared to most Chinese comics, it is still sincere, but the details of the story are really lacking."

"What about the plot?"

"The plot is too scattered. Is this film just about one man and two women? It's so boring that I don't want to understand it."

"No! I think it's pretty good. Although it's a bit bland and there's no bloody plot, I think other things aside, the story is worth remembering. It's just that it was so depressing that I never wanted to watch it again."

Several people ignored the cameras and reporters and just started arguing among themselves. It seemed that their senses were very inconsistent.

The Internet is even more noisy, and the animation forum Bilibili also has mixed reviews. Generally speaking, there are slightly more negative reviews.

"Hearing a 13-year-old man's tender, fragile and tormented inner reading really made me sick..."

"Suitable for viewing at five times speed, one star for the painting."

"This is the spiritual journey brought by Cheng Xiaoyu, which brings a certain touch to our souls. This story describes such a young and sincere emotion, which is even far more precious than the lingering love. That is the most pure love in the world, a love that does not need any foundation or support, a love that does not need to anchor or chase eternity, because it itself is eternal."

"Looking at the Japanese-looking street scenes, Japanese characters, and Japanese trains with the names of Chinese animations... I just threw up anyway. I won't watch Cheng Xiaoyu's works anymore."

"I was shocked by this refreshing story about being completely healthy, but looking back at those years, I was never sick either. Isn't that what youth is all about! I will give it three stars in 'Petals'"

"The picture is really beautiful, and I can understand the feeling of missing it somehow. When I look up at the sky, I can't help but think of this animation, but I never thought about such a lost youth."

"The picture is so beautiful, it can be regarded as a model of a pure love movie. But I have never felt the hazy emotion of first love. I give it three stars, two stars for the picture and one star for the plot."

"The tone of the narrative is quite dull, but it fits the theme quite well. Only when you calm down can you feel that it is a good movie. It is a good movie that I don't want to watch a second time."

"The gorgeous background is used to cover up the hollowness of the plot. However, I like that the three stories are strung together by one person. The music and photography are good. Cheng Xiaoyu's style. There must be good-looking composition, music, sky and universe, so that it can It makes the short story lively, but you can’t read too much if it’s fresh.”

The media and film critics seemed to have discovered Cheng Xiaoyu's sore feet, and began to write all kinds of sensational titles, such as "China Film Weekly" film review, "Beautiful Pictures, Empty Plot".

"Everyone spoke highly of Cheng Xiaoyu because of "My Sassy Girl", and in "Five Centimeters Per Second", the sky is full of cherry blossoms, the beautiful sky, every frame is restored to the ultimate picture quality, and the protagonist is still speechless. , green love.

But this cannot cover up the lack of plot. The whole film can only rely on a large number of scenes and inner monologues of the characters to promote, which is very thin. The director tried to use the beautiful cherry blossoms to contrast the 45-degree looking up to the sky, the faint melancholy, green and fruitless love. .

Although the director's signature style of MV shooting has always been aesthetic, this is Director Cheng's own style and should be encouraged, but I hope Director Cheng can pay more attention to the plot. In fact, Director Cheng should be able to do better, after all, this film The animation is only one hour long, so it would certainly be possible to expand the content to 100 minutes, but Director Cheng chose to leave it blank. This approach is the opposite extreme of "My Sassy Girl", but I personally don't think it is a success.

On the other hand, if you look at Japanese animation masters such as Yumeno Hisaku and Matsuki Toshi, the plot of "The Deer and the Wolf" and "Asami's House" many years ago will linger in my mind no matter how long I think of it. But I still hope that Director Cheng will get better and better.

There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand viewers, and many friends around me have good reviews of "5 Centimeters per Second." Generally speaking, this movie is above the Chinese standard, but it made me a little disappointed."

The title of "Filmmaker" is "Miracle Director No longer Miracles", "If we use commendable to evaluate a person, it may be a compliment, but when such words are used on Director Cheng, they are criticism. This "Second Speed"

"Five Centimeters" has been released for one week, but the box office has not exceeded 100 million, and the number of screening theaters has dropped to 2,759. Obviously, Director Cheng has disappointed many theaters waiting to count their money. He has not been able to continue the success of "My Sassy Girl"

brilliant.

The background of the story is not rigorous, the characters and scenes are overly modified, and the plot is worthy of criticism. Maybe it is because of the funds, maybe it is because of self-confidence. This animated movie is only a short one hour, which makes people feel that Director Cheng has made this movie

It was sent to the big screen prematurely. Of course, Director Cheng took advantage of the popularity of "My Sassy Girl". It is not a problem for this cartoon to collect 200 to 300 million yuan at the box office. It is just that Director Cheng, as a representative of the younger generation, should be more cautious.

To deal with public expectations......

"China Times" reported: "The box office of "Five Seconds" did not meet expectations, and the miracle director has been abandoned by fans." Director Cheng, who has a box office of 2 billion, may be a little confused this time, "I have tried so hard, but I still can't lead it."

"The rhythm of Chinese cartoons", to be honest, this cartoon is definitely not a bad movie, but it invested 100 million, and the box office is less than 100 million in the first week of release. Compared with "My Sassy Girl" which only invested 30 million

”, it can only be described as horrific.

It’s actually not surprising that this is a failure. The characters are poorly developed, the plot is monotonous, and the background of the story is confusing. The only thing worthy of praise is the picture and music.

Of course, some people think it is actually quite good, such as Zhang Hongjian, who also wrote a film review "The Youth We Missed Back then".

"Miaowu is undoubtedly talking about first love, but what he is talking about is the regret of first love but not the regret of first love. To be precise, the word regret cannot explain what Miaowu wants to express. I would like to ask everyone, what do you know?

Is it life?

Life, being born, living, being busy every day is like rushing to the market, mechanical study, work, no matter how beautiful the relationship, family affection, will be obliterated by life one day. This obliteration is not obliteration in the literal sense, the obliteration I mean.

It refers to the fatigue and powerlessness you have in life. This powerlessness will appear occasionally throughout our lives. It has nothing to do with mentality. It is like the different junior high schools assigned to you after elementary school, junior high school graduation, high school graduation, and former friends.

But they have gone their separate ways, things have changed and people have changed. This is life and growth.

What we cannot avoid and cannot change is that no matter how we contact or how we try to recover, we still have a sense of powerlessness, because we can no longer go back to our youth where we spent all day hanging out together. The most beautiful relationship is undoubtedly the most beautiful one.

Pure emotion, and we who are young and innocent are undoubtedly the purest.

However, a person always has to go through his life, start a family and start a career, joys and sorrows, and you will slowly think about many things. This is a kind of growth. Then Five Seconds is such a movie that uses Guishu’s story to express Cheng Xiaoyu’s understanding of this kind of life.

The remembrance of the beautiful feelings that will inevitably fade away and his views on this feeling.

.....................

After watching this film by Cheng Xiaoyu, I began to encounter such a feeling - how subtle and a touch of sadness it was. After experiencing endless disappointment, I found that this was the most beautiful emotion in my life.

But I have always been worried about it, and I will never let go of it during the spiritual journey Cheng Xiaoyu brought us.

This movie hits my soft spot better than "My Sassy Girl", so I give it five stars.

.........

The Internet, the media, and film critics are all quarreling over this animated film. Some people think that this film has the potential to be a masterpiece, while others think that it is not very good, too literary, and too pretentious.

The controversy is hot but it does not help the box office. The animation schedule is being reduced, and the Japanese version of "5 Centimeters per Second" will be released in Japan soon.

And the media has begun to predict how disastrous this movie, which is unaccustomed to China, will be in Japan.

"Film Weekly" reported: "Obviously, Cheng Xiaoyu's "controversial" film has become increasingly polarizing. Its conflicts and developments have exceeded many people's expectations. "5 Centimeters per Second" cannot achieve the level of "My Sassy Girl" "There is no doubt about the box office performance of "The Movie," but no one expected it to be so miserable. At the same time, the fierce conflict between crowd ridicule and enthusiasm seemed to have cast a shadow on Cheng Xiaoyu's own personal appeal and commercial realization journey. A layer of shadow. The box office failure of "5 Centimeters Per Second" does not just mean the failure of the movie, it seems to involve something more behind it."

Slender Fox Entertainment front page: "Director Cheng estimates that this cartoon will not even be able to make back the cost. The total investment is close to 100 million. The movie box office needs at least 250 million to recover the pre-production and post-production costs. And with the sluggish box office situation, society The impact of negative public opinion has undoubtedly put great pressure on Cheng Xiaoyu. But I don’t think the Japanese market can save Director Cheng.”

"Banana Entertainment Weekly" reported: "A strong dubbing cast cannot change the tragedy of box office failure. It cannot even stay in the top three at the box office. It is said that Cheng Xiaoyu originally wanted to make a cartoon, and everyone in the company opposed it, but Director Cheng himself is the boss, so Against all odds, he said that making cartoons is to fulfill his dream, and to try and make mistakes on the road to domestic animation, but this dream turned out to be "a dream". And the failure of "5 Centimeters Per Second" has left future generations with I’m afraid investment in animation should be more prudent. This time, ‘Miracle Director’ not only has to pay for his own choices, but he also has to take the blame for domestic animation.”

The front page of "China Weekly": "Compared with the fierce publicity and momentum in the early stage, the gap is that the box office of "5 Centimeters Per Second" lags far behind "Mouse Hard" and "The Last Swordsman", and "The Hundredth Time" "Date" was flat. Such results may put pressure on Xichu Pictures, the investor of "5 Centimeters Per Second". Of course, the pressure is not great. At least Director Cheng made a lot of money from his last film. After the movie was released, as expected, the movie itself had controversies, such as a simple plot, confusing background, insufficient dubbing, etc., which triggered two extreme phenomena of negative reviews from the public and praise from fans. In the popular trend Under this situation, the mainstream of society has gained the upper hand. The box office is getting worse and worse, and we have to say that the myth of the miracle director has been shattered."

The messages on Cheng Xiaoyu's "Whispers" are also full of ridicule and doubts.

"No matter how many Japanese elements this movie uses, I think it will only embarrass the Japanese audience. If Director Cheng didn't deliberately try to please the Japanese audience, I would actually still be willing to go to the cinema to see an illustration book."

"Is this considered embarrassing and being sent abroad? It's not enough to let your own people see the joke, but you still have to be embarrassed abroad. Even if the painting is good, it was painted by Japanese. We Chinese people don't have a sense of involvement in such a story. Japan

People are probably going to laugh out loud."

"The domestic box office has just exceeded 100 million. Director Cheng has lost money this time and has gone to his grandma's house. He is anxious to go to Japan to check the box office. At least in China, the dubbing of Sung Soo Jung and Bae Suzy can attract some fans of the 'Idol Project' to watch

, the tragic situation in Japan, the base of animation, can be imagined. I feel sorry for Director Cheng’s lifelong reputation..."

"There won't be any miracles this time... Director Cheng should focus more on his experience in music! You see, this time there is only a mini album, and there are only three new songs...

..."

.......

No one knows that there is a big difference between the Japanese version of "5 Centimeters per Second" and the domestic version...
