I watched this movie because I loved Xiao Zhan in The Untamed, and he was one of the lead actors in this film. I haven't read the novel that it's based on. However, I heard that the novel spans 8 volumes! So, I didn't know what to expect plot-wise (I mean, how do you fit that much plot into less than two hours?). The beginning of the film was pretty hilarious, but the plot/direction kind of disintegrated from there. Some of the transitions, character introductions, and plot points were confusing. Honestly, the "twist/emotional scene" near the end lacked power not particularly because of any acting issues, but that I didn't feel enough build up in the characters' relationship to be invested in the story. Honestly, I feel like this was a situation where the entire production was disconnected from each other. It is the second-highest-grossing film of all time in China.The script was weak, the film wasn't long enough to fully develop the large cast of characters, they tried to include too many elements that weren't done well, and they probably tried to cut corners on production costs (that CGI, anyone?). The coming-of-age tale of a popular folk deity brought in $8.6 million, bringing its cume to a massive $690 million overall. And despite being in theaters for a whopping 53 days, Chinese animation “ Nezha” is still going strong, outstripping “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” for fifth place.
“ The Legend of Hei” came in fourth, with $13.1 million, bringing its total earnings to $32.3 million. 1 National Day holiday, it appears that the name change was sufficient to appease censors.Ĭhinese animation continues to perform strongly. Although there had been speculation that the Huayi-invested film wouldn’t come out until after China’s Oct. It was subsequently revealed that there was trouble with its Chinese-language title, which initially made use of the word “weida,” or “great” – a term typically reserved only for describing important political matters or Communist Party leaders. It had previously been scheduled to come out earlier in the summer, but the production team announced that it was pulling the film for unspecified “production reasons” just two weeks before its July 18 release. In third place, Chinese comedy “The Last Wish,” brought in $21 million in its long-awaited debut. The franchise is familiar to Chinese viewers, who turned out for earlier installments last November ($18 million) and in 2016 ($4.4 million). Japanese anime title “Detective Conan: The Fist of the Blue Sapphire” took second in its opening weekend, bringing in $22.6 million.
