"A beautifully packaged but lackluster film. The young director's excessive pursuit of business has led to a loss of quality." - Not long after the first movie ended, the first critic review appeared on the Rotten Tomatoes website.
.Kirk Harnitko from "The Hollywood Reporter" gave it a 2/4 rating, a piece of shit.
Robert Kohler of Variety magazine followed closely behind and gave it a score of 8/10, a bright red tomato.
"Although there are no familiar Chinese stars in this film, including Li Lienjie and Yang Ziqiong, it still has fiery fighting scenes that are stunningly fancy. Compared with his youthful days when filming "Source Code" last year, Shao Shuaijun has matured.
Although the story is too tortuous, it is still a rare masterpiece."
One criticism and one praise kept the Rotten Tomatoes freshness score at 50%. It seems that the reputation of "Painted Skin" is destined not to be too high.
On imdb, audience ratings for "Painted Skin" also appeared.
George Levy gave 10 points: "I like this movie so much. The relaxed plot makes people feel the mysterious ancient charm of the East in the dull parts, and the sexy parts make people want to stop, especially at the end.
Xiao Wei turned into a white fox, I think it’s amazing.”
Schumacher's Racing gave it 9 points: "I thought the shot of Zhang Yimou's long sword passing through the water droplets in "Hero" was the coolest shot I had ever seen, but the shot of Xiao Wei peeling off her skin in "Painted Skin" was even better than that.
cool!"
Laposte only gave a score of 5 points: "I can't understand why Wang Sheng guarded Pei Rong in the end. Didn't she become a monster? However, the final monster battle was very interesting, not inferior to
Special effects for top blockbusters.”
Amazon Butterfly gave it a score of 7: "The peeling scene made me uncomfortable, but other than that, this is a qualified Chinese movie."
"I love "Source Code" very much. Although "Painted Skin" makes me a little confused, I still have to give it 10 points and support Shao Shuaijun. It's a pity that he didn't star in it himself." - Mike, who took off his boots, gave it a 10-point rating.
Perhaps the audience who chose to watch the first show are all interested in Chinese movies. On imdb, the rating situation is very good. Nine out of ten is not uncommon. In just one hour, the rating has been piled up to 7.9.
The height. Although this will not be the final score, it will undoubtedly have great appeal to the audience who are watching.
Shao Shuaijun was walking on the Hollywood Boulevard, listening to the American audience coming out of the movie, talking and laughing about "Painted Skin". He laughed silently. The original "Painted Skin" had no chance to be released in the United States, but after his efforts
, "Painted Skin" has been shown in more than 3,000 theaters across the United States.
And judging from the audience who left the scene, the movie brought joy to these people.
This is relying on his own efforts to bring joy through movies.
Although "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" have achieved some success in the United States, they are films that should have been recognized. "Painted Skin" is different. "Painted Skin" has been polished by his hands over and over again before it can be made.
He was able to show off his talents in the United States. Now all the sounds in his ears sound like everyone is applauding him.
Although others don't know it, this short-sighted, average-looking Chinese man with a silly grin is the director of "Painted Skin".
"Boss, what are you laughing at?" Yang Ying asked.
Li Xiuxiu left in a hurry after watching the movie, leaving Shao Shuaijun and others hanging out in Hollywood. The acquisition of Summit Entertainment reached a critical moment. If Shao Shuaijun hadn't pulled her along, she wouldn't have been willing to come to the cinema.
"Why are you laughing? Don't you understand English? Foreigners are praising "Painted Skin". How can I stop laughing?"
Yang Ying said with a smile: "Boss, you are so awesome. "Painted Skin" is really good-looking, but a bit scary. It seems that it will win high votes this time, and maybe it will be even better than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"
"'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'? This is a bit extravagant, right? With US$130 million, not many American films have achieved that." Shao Shuaijun is still somewhat self-aware.
Yang Ying shook her head: "It's not necessarily true. "Painted Skin" is so good-looking, it will definitely beat the mysterious "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."
"Haha, I'll give it to you."
"Hey, don't worry, "Painted Skin" will definitely be a hit. Well, boss, when will your new movie be shot? I've been in the United States for almost half a month, and I have nothing to do. I'm so busy."
After a long time, Yang Ying finally revealed her true feelings.
Shao Shuaijun blinked, knowing that it was Yang Ying's flattery, but it was still very useful, and immediately laughed: "I'm so busy, so I heard that you like doing business, and you often tease Xiaocui about you.
Business experience, brag about how much money you have made in Hong Kong. As it happens, my new movie still has to wait, and Mr. Li is short of manpower, so you might as well become her assistant."
"Ahhhhhh, I want to act in a movie, boss!"
"You may not become popular if you act in a movie. You should learn some business knowledge first. If you don't become popular, there is a way out. Mr. Li is so short of manpower recently. If you can work under her, you might be able to work in a company in the future.
Boss, if others want to do something for her, I may not agree to it, so just be content."
Shao Shuaijun knew that Yang Ying liked to run small businesses, so when he brought her to the United States, he didn't think about how to arrange her. During the filming of "Twilight", if an Asian protagonist was rashly added, the audience might not necessarily buy it. If a supporting role was arranged,
What's the difference between acting and not acting?
We can only send her to work in the company first and wait until we have the chance.
No matter how awkward Yang Ying was, Shao Shuaijun had already made a decision, and she had no choice but to obey.
I walked around for a long time and went back and forth to the Chinese Grand Theater several times. I found that as the sun gradually went down, more and more Americans chose to go in to watch movies. The attendance rate of "Painted Skin" here was even the third show in the evening.
Reached 80%.
Yang Hongtao called, and the staff sent to several major movie theaters to investigate reported back the news. Today, "Mission: Impossible 3" is still the most popular, with almost 90% of the hits in every movie. Although "Painted Skin" cannot reach this level
It's high, but it's getting better and better, surpassing the attendance of several other movies in the same period.
"The reputation of "Painted Skin" is good. American audiences like the fighting and love in "Painted Skin" very much. A box office success should not be a problem. By the way, have you read the domestic news?"
"Not yet."
"The good news has been put on the desk and has been announced on Time Online. You can go and see it yourself. I have to have dinner with people from Mira Company to discuss expanding the theater chain, so I won't talk more. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Shao Shuaijun was intrigued by the domestic box office, and immediately returned to his residence with Yang Ying and others to check the news online.
""Painted Skin" is an unparalleled storm, with a box office of 30 million on the first day, setting a new record in mainland film history!"
The huge title comes into view, and the base map of the entire website has turned into a poster for "Painted Skin". (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
