The inspirational film "Hot Blood Choir", produced and starred by Andy Lau, was released last week. The box office was only 30 million yuan in 5 days. With Andy Lau's top spot, this box office can only be said to be disappointing; in word of mouth, the film’s The online score is only 4.8 points, and the audience's evaluation of the film is mainly negative, which can be described as a loss of box office and word of mouth.

In fact, "Hot Blood Choir" has a great relationship with the 2015 Hong Kong film "Lovely You", because the directors of both films are Guan Xinhui, and the screenwriter is also the same person Zhang Peiqiong, but the starring role has been changed from the previous Miriam Yeung and Louis Koo Andy Lau and E Jingwen. "Lovely You" is really a masterpiece in 2015, because it won the annual box office championship in Hong Kong with a record of 46.7 million Hong Kong dollars. The film tells the touching story of a school principal, Lu Huihong (played by Miriam Yang), who gave up her plan to travel around the world with her husband, and resolutely applied for a kindergarten that was facing closure. He devoted all his efforts to help five children and their families out of the predicament. Hong Kong has always had a sequel or a tradition of similar themes immediately after a great sale of a work in Hong Kong. "Lovely You" must have given the creators confidence with a small box office miracle, but they did not expect this time to be broken in the mainland. Netizens' comments on the film can be summarized into a few key words: student works, very "awkward", old-fashioned plot, dry characters, and chaotic rhythm. As a major music film, although it has gathered outstanding Hong Kong music creators such as Red Song and Lu Guanting, the music part of the film is seriously inconsistent with the reputation of the two, especially the end of the film uses RAP (rap) In this way, many audiences "played out". Netizens have commented: "The strongest feelings are still not worth the deliberate blood after all", "Holding a subject that can easily make the audience tolerant, but doing it so perfunctorily, so unbearable, is also very difficult. "It can be seen that if a movie cannot move the audience in the story, even if it is starred by a Uranus superstar, the audience will not buy it. If you compare "Lovely You", it is not difficult to find that although the two films are stories with inspirational themes, they are actually completely different. The story of "Lovely You" comes from real life. Director Guan Xinhui heard this story in real life and was moved and determined to shoot it. In order to present the original appearance of the story more truly, Guan Xinhui made a special trip to visit the prototype characters to understand the characters' emotions, emotions, and thoughts, and chose the scene of the film in the kindergarten where the story took place. The lead actor Miriam Yang is also very hardworking and visits the homes of the five children in the film to learn about the children's movements. In Hong Kong, where genre films are all over the floor, a movie with such a niche theme makes a city crazy. The only explanation is that the movie touches the emotional points of the audience and inspires the truth, goodness and beauty in the audience. Because only from the truth of life can there be such a touching power. Looking at "The Hot Blood Chorus" again, the story seems to be made up. Similar plots are shown in domestic and foreign movies, such as "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class" and "Spicy Teacher". A group of problematic teenagers gathered together, and finally they were subdued and taught by a talented teacher, and finally they all "returned to justice." ". The 2018 Indian movie "Hiccup Teacher" is also the theme, but the film is based on Brad Cohen’s biographical novel "Call Me Number One", with a strong reality foundation, coupled with the wonderful performances of actors, So the score on Douban is as high as 7.5 points. Whether a film has a realistic basis is easy to see. There is no problem with the theme of "The Hot Blood Chorus". The plot and characters in it are taken out separately, and there is no problem, but when put together, it seems very fake. Many details can not help but deliberate. This is the lack of real life nutrients. This also reminds the creators. If the creators are opportunistic, do not go deep into life, study life, and just want to continue to succeed through simple copying, then it will be no wonder that the film is not seen by the audience in the end.
