"The opposition between evil and justice makes the world full of passion, and this opposition is mainly between two men, so the world becomes very simple. There is no need for any reason for two men with guns to meet each other head-on. What they fight for is secondary. The only complicated thing is the process of killing the other. During this period, the interweaving of friendship and hatred is the real theme. "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" praises and promotes loyalty and friendship, even if it is the loyalty and friendship in the evil camp, or the loyalty and friendship shown by a villain in an instant. The philosophy of "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" is so simple and direct - if a man has a choice, he should choose friendship, and if there is a second choice, he should choose a gun. Young director Xu Kai explained to us what is called violent aesthetics!"
"I don't know whether it was Yu Qingyun who made Xiao Ma Ge successful, or Xiao Ma Ge who made Yu Qingyun successful. This may be a question that can never be answered. Yu Qingyun used his superb acting skills and unparalleled charm to create an almost mythical and eternal image for us. As Xiao Ma Ge said in the film: "I am God, and the one who can control his own destiny is God!" So from then on, Xiao Ma Ge's image became a god-like totem in my heart."
"Once you are in the underworld, you have no choice. Once you step on the pirate ship of the underworld, don't think you can steer the ship yourself. You can only leave it to fate. If you want to turn back, it is not impossible, but you must pay an immeasurable price. The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is still the sea. Just like, once a thief, always a thief. Even if you can turn back, how many people can believe that you are a prodigal son? Just like what is said in "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands", "The underworld is a game that will cause trouble for the rest of your life" - "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" is an educational film that teaches people not to go to the underworld."
"In addition to family and love, we also have friendship. There are not many people in this society who are truly brothers, but there is a point where there are none. Some things are not necessarily better when they are more, but they must be true and sincere. But Xiao Ma Ge did it, and Yu Qingyun did it too. In the play, Yu Qingyun showed his excellent acting charm. The film successfully brought together the contradictions between brotherhood and brotherhood between biological brothers, reflecting their different frustrations, failures, repentance and revenge. Through these interpersonal conflicts, the film uses successful sensationalism to make the film more enjoyable."
"Through the use of up-frame, down-frame, freeze-frame and scene processing, movies can magnify, compress and solidify real time and space in one shot, and the montage language formed by the combination of shots is the basic way of film time and space narration. The fighting scenes in the film edited together a large number of up-frame shots and shots recorded at normal speed. The up-frame shots slowed down the process of the action, giving people a "beauty of dance", while the shots recorded at normal speeds that followed enhanced the tension of the fight, making people feel the visual pleasure of the person being hit "falling to the ground". Director Yu Qingyun has such a deep directing skill, and he doesn't look like a new director at all."
"Yu Qingyun's "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" is a film that highlights the true emotions between people through violent scenes. It is a simple friendship between men. Using gunfights and death to express such a theme is so appropriate and shocking. This movie almost satisfies all my youthful fantasies - the rivers and lakes in troubled times, brotherhood, revenge, and love. Although with the progress of the times, the rivers and lakes of swords and swords have evolved into gunfire and rain of bullets, the rough and wild spirit of this rivers and lakes has not diminished at all, and we can still roar in it. I don't know what Zhang's "Blood Labyrinth" will look like, but I dare to assert that it will never surpass Yu Qingyun's "Ten Miles of Foreign Land."
"One is a man of great righteousness, loyal and courageous; one speaks for justice, is unrestrained and uninhibited, and values friendship and righteousness; one is persistent in his beliefs, fights violence and upholds justice. Three heroes, three heroes of the foreign concessions era. Although the name "The Foreign Concessions" is also very close to the theme, personally, I think it might be closer to "A Better Tomorrow"."
“…”
Soon after the premiere, film critics and audiences gave "The Foreign Land" extremely high praise!
In addition, the early publicity and promotion of "Shiliyangchang" was too sufficient.
The key point is that "Blood Labyrinth" will not be released until July 1st - it is said that this is the day that Zhang Ping asked an expert to calculate. Of course, this is also because "Blood Labyrinth" has to wait until the summer vacation arrives before releasing this blockbuster movie.
After Xu Kai heard about this, he deliberately moved up the release date of "Shiliyangchang" by four days, preparing to build momentum for "Shiliyangchang" first and then start a war with "Blood Labyrinth".
Therefore, there are currently no strong films competing with "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" for screening schedules.
As a result, the midnight box office of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" reached 9.6 million, breaking the record of the highest midnight box office of 6 million set by the oriental fantasy romance movie "The Story of a Demon" released in the summer of last year.
Do you think that's the end?
Wrong! Very wrong!
It has a very high reputation, strong publicity, no strong films competing for the screening schedule, and a very high midnight box office.
On June 28, the first day of the release of "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions", the screening rate of "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions" was as high as 65%!
After attending the premiere of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands", Shi Jiahui, Shen Hehe and Si Peizhi were not in a hurry to go back to take the final exams of the Central Academy of Drama. Instead, they planned to wait for Dong Ni for two days, and then the four of them would go back to school together tomorrow night.
Because they were not in a hurry to go back to school, Dong Ni, Shi Jiahui, Shen Hehe and Si Peizhi planned to watch "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions" several times on the first day of its release on the 28th to support Xu Kai.
But when the four of them arrived at the cinema after eating and drinking, they were shocked to find that the cinema hall was packed with people. Most of them came to see "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions". Tickets for "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions" were hard to come by, and even the shows before 10 o'clock that night were all sold out.
The four of them quickly changed to another cinema, and the situation was exactly the same.
Shen Hehe asked around and found out that this was the case in all the movie theaters in Shanghai today.
Seeing this, Dong Ni and the other three girls were dumbfounded. Shen Hehe murmured, "Nini, your brother-in-law is about to post a message!"
Shi Jiahui, who was most sensitive to money, asked immediately after hearing what Shen Hehe said, "What do you think the first-day box office of "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" will be?"
Si Peizhi counted on her fingers and said confidently, "More than 100 million!"
I don’t know if Si Peizhi is really a man of talent or if she just has a lucky mouth, but she really got it right!
During the golden screening on the first day of its release, the attendance rate of "Shiliyangchang" was close to 100%!
The average occupancy rate throughout the day is as high as 70%!
In the end, "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" raked in 102 million on its first day of release, beating the first-day box office record of 70 million set by "A Demon's Story"!
According to analysis by industry insiders, judging from the current screening schedule, attendance rate and overwhelming reputation of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands", the box office in the first weekend (that is, Saturday and Sunday) is expected to reach 300 million!
