Subject matter and production

First of all, it is an action movie with the widest audience. From old to young, there are almost no viewers who don’t like to watch commercial action blockbusters. This is It can win the foundation of film history championship. In the production of domestic action films, its level is very high. The long-shot underwater fight in the opening scene is not even available in Hollywood. The subsequent car chase scenes, tank battles, and hand-to-hand combat can be said to be unique among domestic films in recent years. of. Audiences can watch domestic action movies in theaters that are close to the level of Hollywood production, why not? Plot Rhythm and Soundtrack

The overt thread of Wolf Warrior 2 is about finding a wife and evacuating overseas Chinese, and the dark thread is about virus antibodies. The three threads are well integrated, with personal emotions and family and country justice, and the audience has a strong sense of involvement. The strongest point of Wolf Warrior 2 is its rhythm. The long underwater shot in the opening attracts the audience's attention. The rhythm of the subsequent plot is smooth and soothing. The climax comes one after another, and finally the emotions reach the peak and are released. The audience is completely carried away by the movie. This is something that even Hollywood, which is known as an industrialized process, has rarely done in recent years. At the same time, the soundtrack of Wolf Warrior 2 is also excellent and majestic. It was specially produced according to the plot and recorded in the UK. Character creation

Wu Jing successfully created the character of Leng Feng. The heroic image of the Chinese soldier and the love between his sons and daughters, coupled with his own popularity, have been highly recognized and loved by the public. At the same time, the supporting characters in Wolf Warrior 2 are also very well created, the interactions between the characters are also very good, and the laughter is reasonably interspersed. The profiteer, doctor, rich second generation, aunt, two children, and the villain mercenary all have their moments to show themselves. It's not just the background board, which is a consistent shortcoming of domestic films. Concept

As a large-scale domestic action film, based on the above points, it is already an excellent commercial blockbuster, but its concept makes it sublimated. Many plots are adapted from reality, but when the audience's emotions gradually increase and explode, you will find that maybe you love the motherland so deeply. But this is something that a mediocre or bad movie cannot do, as evidenced by the founding of the army in the same period and the subsequent Sky Hunter.

This also means that it is difficult for a popcorn action movie with a main theme to get high scores on Douban, because their shortcomings overlap with Douban’s needs. Therefore, Wolf Warrior 2’s success on Douban is The scores are normal. Similarly, none of Jackie Chan's action movies scored an 8 on Douban, but they still won multiple box office titles that year and were loved by the audience. Regarding the public reputation and love of theatrical movies, Maotao ticket purchase scores are closer to box office trends. Wolf Warrior 2 ranks first among domestic movies on both platforms. Why don’t films with higher Douban ratings get such high box office hits?

This question coincides with the fourth point. A high score on Douban may mean that its lens expresses better, its director has stronger skills, its plot is more rigorous, its subject matter is more realistic, it is more reflective and in-depth, etc. A considerable part of these are award-winning films, and Wu Jing is not a professional director after all. It is normal for him to be deficient in expressing these professional aspects on camera. His strengths are plot rhythm and stimulating the audience's emotions. Jackie Chan's movies are the same in this regard.

However, a high Douban score does not mean that the audience likes to watch it. As a movie fan, I will savor some Douban high-scoring movies on my computer. But for box office trends and ordinary audiences, the most important thing is the direct viewing experience, emotional mobilization and explosion in front of the big screen in the cinema, and Wolf Warrior 2 is indeed the best in this regard It has reached a very high level, and it is the same for me.

At the same time, with the official background of the Founding of the Army, Sansheng III, which has the largest traffic and pre-sales of over 100 million, how can Wolf Warrior 2 crush them and win the box office championship? From the data listed in the first point, it is obvious how much the broadest masses of the people love this movie. There are also some uncountable offline broadcasts and secondary market mobile screenings. The data will surely be even more amazing. So, the answer is very simple, because it is good-looking, it is a commercial popcorn blockbuster with a smooth plot and excellent action. The audience likes to watch it, the reviews are good, it is spread by word of mouth, and the box office stamina is amazing, so it has such a high box office.

Audience reputation is the secret to the box office success

Wolf Warrior 2’s single-day highest box office was on the 11th day after its release. The following weekend countered the first weekend, exceeding 200 million for 12 consecutive days and 18 consecutive days. It has exceeded 100 million. On the 39th day of its release, it still has a box office of 10 million in a single day. It continues to the National Day and has a single day of about 2 million. It is absolutely impossible to achieve without a strong reputation among the audience.
