CONGRATULATIONS JACKIE!!!


"Little Big Soldier" at the box office-breaking 100 million

Jackie Chan, the audience recognition of income recognized in transition

Morning News (Reporter Lian Jie), according to China's film distribution news, Jackie Chan, Lee Hom starring film "Little Big Soldier" who started from the first month after release, the box office has been steadily rising, as of yesterday, they had a breakthrough billion mark, becoming the first mainland box office over the Ministry of 100 million of "Jackie Chan movie." On the other hand, with the Lunar New Year stalls Amongst these lousy movies than "Little Big Soldier" also made a good reputation, and even considered to be "one of the most successful transformation of Jackie Chan." Ding Sheng said the film director Jackie Chan for the film at the box office is very pleased with planned celebration party was held early in March.

Box-office star effect Guoyi

"Little Big Soldier" ranked number one on the first day of release fetched 15.06 million in just 6 days time on the week at the box office topped the table top, doing well. Yesterday, the film distribution company for Valley Square China National Report, "Private Game" released 12 days and has been breaking box-office billion mark, as the Spring Festival Chinese-made films in the file title. Gu Guoqing said that the film is able to gain market recognition, in addition to Jackie Chan, Wang Lee Hom Lao Shaopei this star effect, but also because the film is copied from the movie Jackie Chan has always been humor, and full of humane care.

In fact, place names, including Jackie Chan, although the first loud, but he starred in the film - in particular, a strong personal touch "Jackie Chan movie" at the box office did not consequent correspondingly. Prior to "The Myth", "Rob-B-Hood" are in the brink of million threshold. "The Forbidden Kingdom" surprisingly easy to approaching 200 million, but after all, Jackie Chan and Jet Li co-operation, plus the Hollywood production, not really real "Jackie Chan movie." By contrast, "Little Big Soldier" starring Jackie Chan is not only, but also as investors, is a typical "Jackie Chan movie."

Successful transition was good

And the Lunar New Year stalls compared to a number of speculative film making money, "Little Big Soldier" Although there are many shortcomings, but it could be considered as one of faith. Movie playing in only at the box office rosy reputation is also relatively good. "Little Big Soldier", Chan changed the role of past heroes, who was playing a cowardly deserter and a bad martial arts, accidental capture of Lee Hom plays the generals.

Students Li Chen said: "Jackie Chan's older brother played a soldier in this very witty funny, made me laugh had been the more moving. He did not know great truths, do not want to fight. Even if the strange combination of circumstances captured by the enemy generals, but also just want to have his Quhuan a few acres of land, good farm home. In fact, most of our people is one such idea, so I think this soldier's role is very cordial. "Of course, there are viewers dissatisfied with the performance of Jackie Chan, Ren evaluation of Mr. said, "Little Big Soldier" to fight Jackie Chan's previous film was not as exciting, and obviously feeling old Jackie Chan, playing no more.

《大兵小将》票房破亿


晨报讯(记者 杨莲洁)据华夏电影发行公司消息,成龙、王力宏主演的电影《大兵小将》自正月初一上映后,票房一路走高,截至昨天已经突破亿元大关,成为首部在内地票房过亿的“成龙电影”。另一方面,与贺岁档的芸芸烂片相比,《大兵小将》也取得了不错口碑,甚至被认为是“成龙最成功的一次转型”。该片导演丁晟透露,成龙对该片票房十分欣慰,计划在3月初举行庆功宴。

  票房过亿 明星效应

  《大兵小将》上映首日就力挫群雄进账1506万,短短6天时间就荣登当周票房榜榜首,表现不俗。昨天,影片发行方华夏公司负责人谷国庆公布,《大兵小将》上映12天,票房已经突破亿元大关,成为春节档国产片中的冠军。谷国庆表示,影片之所以能获得市场认同,除了成龙、王力宏这对老少配的明星效应外,还因为本片承袭了成龙影片的一贯幽默,并且充满了人文关怀。

  事实上,成龙虽然在内地名头响亮,但他主演的电影——尤其是个人色彩强烈的“成龙电影”的票房却没有因之水涨船高。此前的《神话》、《宝贝计划》都在亿元门槛边缘徘徊。《功夫之王》倒是轻松逼近两亿,但那毕竟是成龙和李连杰的合作,外加好莱坞的制作,算不上真正的“成龙电影”。相比之下,《大兵小将》成龙不仅主演,还担任投资人,是地道的“成龙电影”。

  成功转型 口碑不错

  和贺岁档众多投机捞钱的影片相比,《大兵小将》虽然也有诸多缺点,但也算得上一部诚意之作。影片上映后不仅票房飘红,口碑也比较良好。《大兵小将》中,成龙一改往日的银幕英雄角色,饰演一个贪生怕死且武功不好的逃兵,意外擒获了王力宏饰演的大将。

  记者在采访中发现,很多观众都看出了成龙在这部影片中的转变,并对这种转变表示支持。大学生李真说:“成龙大哥这次演的小兵很诙谐滑稽,却让我笑过之后有更多的感动。他不懂大道理,不想打仗。即使阴差阳错俘虏了敌国将军,也只想拿他去换几亩地,好回家种田。其实我们大多数老百姓的想法就是这样的,所以我觉得这个小兵的角色很亲切。”当然,也有观众对成龙的表现感到不满,任先生就评价说,《大兵小将》的打斗不如成龙以前的电影精彩了,明显感觉成龙老了,打不动了。

Little Big Soldier, Chinese Zodiac, News

Some interesting bits of information in this article:

Jackie Chan says new war film 20 years in making, credits director for help

By Min Lee (CP) – 16 hours ago

HONG KONG — Jackie Chan says his new Chinese movie was some 20 years in the making, crediting an unknown director for helping him develop the story of the friendship between a soldier and a general in ancient China.

The veteran action star said at his hometown premiere for "Little Big Soldier" on Friday night he first wanted to make an inspirational war film two decades ago, but suffered a bad case of writer's block.

"I couldn't write a script that would last 1 1/2 hours. I wrote half-an-hour worth of material but couldn't continue, no matter what. So then I made 'Police Story,' 'Project A,"' Chan told reporters, referring to two of his films in the 1980s.

The project was kept on hold until he met director Ding Sheng several years ago. The little-known Chinese filmmaker has spent the bulk of his career shooting TV commercials before moving to the big screen.

"He's better educated than I am. He's studied history. He knew how to weave together my story and the characters," Chan said of Ding.

The result is a 96-minute drama set in ancient China when the country was split into warring states. Chan plays a rank-and-file soldier who captures a wounded general from a rival state, hoping that his feat will win an honourable discharge from his superiors. But the two develop a friendship during their travels as they fend off desperate refugees, a preying bear and an assassination attempt.

"Little Big Soldier" is Chan's first widely released Chinese-language movie since his 2006 action comedy "Rob-B-Hood." The director of his previous Chinese film, "Shinjuku Incident," decided not to release the movie in China because he was worried its explicit violence would offend censors, but it was released in Hong Kong, a former British colony that enjoys a special political status under Chinese rule. The 2009 release featured Chan is one of his darker roles of late - as an illegal Chinese immigrant who becomes a hit man for the Japanese mafia.

Chan, also seen in the recently released Hollywood action comedy, "The Spy Next Door," said his next stop is Shanghai, where he will shoot cameo scenes for "Shaolin" - a Chinese production about the famed temple known for its fighting monks. Then he will start working on his 100th movie, "Chinese Zodiac," in a shoot he said is expected to last until the end of 2011.

"You won't see me for a while," Chan said.

The 55-year-old actor also gushed about his multitalented co-star, heartthrob Leehom Wang, who plays the general. The successful Chinese-American singer-songwriter is now making headway in his acting career after appearing in Oscar winner Ang Lee's 2007 spy thriller "Lust, Caution".

"He's so perfect," Chan said. "If I were a woman, I would like him too."

Review Little Big Soldier - Malaysian Today

Jackie's Back
Fresh from his folley as the fumbling spy next door, Hong Kong star Jackie Chan stars in a new outing and does superbly well even without his signature stunts, flying kicks and somersaults.

After the disastrous 'Spy Next Door', it is a welcome sight to see Jackie Chan in a proper big-budgeted flick. Just like James Cameron's 'Avatar', action comedy Little Big Soldier is a tale that took Jackie Chan many years (20 precisely) to finally put to production. But instead of bringing us to the far future, he takes us on a journey to ancient times, at a time where the various states of China were at war for power and control.

Jackie plays an unnamed soldier from the Liang state, which are at war with the Wei state. A massive ambush results around 2,000 casualties on both sides, leaving him and a young Wei general (Wang LeeHom) as the only survivors. He takes the general captive and heads back to Liang hoping for a big plot of land and ultimately, exemption from the army. Obviously the two do not get along well and get stuck in a range of tight situations. Facing many obstacles from enemies to nature, the two eventually develop some form of respect for one another. This is done really well as it doesn't feel forced or unnatural.

Jackie does a great job playing the opportunistic deserter who is armed with packets of blood and a spring-loaded arrow on his armor; anything to avoid actual conflict. LeeHom surprises with his role too, playing a dignified general who has seen many wars and is generally unimpressed with the deserter's cheap tactics. Along their adventure-filled journey the captor and the captive gained respect for one-another. The two share great chemistry and it's not hard to like them.

Those looking forward to Jackie's martial art moves might be disappointed as he is showing his age and wisely opts to reduce it to funny gags, leaving the fighting to those who can do it with full energy. Another thing to point out is the cinematography for this movie, which is just spellbinding. From the mountains to the forest, this US$25million film uses the best scenery, ensuring everything appears as realistic and authentic as possible. They also went to great lengths with the cool-looking costumes.

Little Big Soldier might possibly be one of Jackie's better films of late, and is an entertaining overall package that should surprise many who have absorbed many of his numerous Hollywood films of late.

PS: As always, stick around for the credits to watch his usual trademark out-takes!
