　　上周五，《妖猫传》、《机器之血》和《心理罪之城市之光》三部风格类型完全不同的电影同日上映。从票房表现来看，陈凯歌导演的《妖猫传》略胜一筹，首周末进账2.41亿元。成龙主演的《机器之血》和邓超主演的《心理罪之城市之光》分别进账1.96亿元和1.44亿元。

　　不过，《妖猫传》的口碑相当两极。喜爱这部影片的观众甚至将它放于和《霸王别姬》相对照的位置，而不喜欢的观众则认为这只是“另一部《无极》”。问题来了：在《霸王别姬》和《无极》之间，隔着多少部《妖猫传》呢？

　　票房 陈凯歌或创十年最佳

　　上周五，同日上映的《妖猫传》、《机器之血》、《心理罪之城市之光》，与已上映一周的《芳华》展开“激烈厮杀”。

　　根据猫眼专业版票房数据，首映日当天，成龙主演的科幻题材电影《机器之血》以30.3%的排片率位居第一，首日票房收入7809万元；《妖猫传》以23.7%的排片率，收入7405万元；《心理罪之城市之光》稍弱，27.4%的排片率进账5956万元。在三部新片的挤压下，《芳华》的排片率降至11.8%，但37.7%的上座率反而超过了三部新片。接下来的周末，《芳华》顺利夺回单日票房冠军宝座，两天分别进账1亿元和1.05亿元，排片率也逐渐回升。

　　截至昨日记者发稿时，新上映影片的累计票房以《妖猫传》的2.68亿元领头，《机器之血》紧随其后进账2.14亿元，《心理罪之城市之光》以1.58亿元排在第三。《芳华》的累计票房已经超过8.6亿元。口碑方面，《妖猫传》的豆瓣评分为6.9，《机器之血》得分5.0，《心理罪之城市之光》得分6.2。

　　近十多年来，相对于高速发展的国内电影市场，陈凯歌导演的作品票房却不尽如人意：2005年的《无极》1.75亿元；2008年的《梅兰芳》1.09亿元；2010年的《赵氏孤儿》1.82亿元；2012年的《搜索》1.73亿元；上一部电影是2015年的《道士下山》，票房为4亿元。而这次《妖猫传》的首周票房表现不俗，目前猫眼专业版预测该片总票房会超过5亿元，有望成为陈凯歌近十年来在市场上表现最好的电影。

　　口碑 两极化争议掀起热潮

　　不过，《妖猫传》引发的争议不少，口碑严重两极分化，豆瓣评分也比上映时有所下滑。在超过86000位评分者中，有37.7%给出三星，12.2%给出五星好评，同时也有13.8%的观众打出一星和两星的差评。围绕《妖猫传》的争议主要集中在两方面：一是影片呈现的繁盛大唐，究竟是谁眼中的唐朝？二是影片讲述的故事，是否过于简单断裂，在情感上难以动人？

　　叙事：

　　前后两段明显割裂

　　《妖猫传》改编自日本作家梦枕貘的小说《沙门空海》。相比充满哲理和思辨的原著，电影采用了更为大众化的处理方法。整部片子可看做一个悬疑推理故事：宫中妖猫作怪导致白居易（黄轩饰）被革职，于是，他和来自日本的空海和尚（染谷将太饰）开始探寻杨贵妃之死的真相。影片前半段节奏紧凑，悬念重重；后半段节奏放慢，逐渐解开妖猫之谜……

　　片中人物众多，除了空海、白居易、唐玄宗、杨贵妃，还有“金吾卫”陈云樵及妻子春琴、大诗人李白和高力士等等。故事线索清晰，环环相扣。从这个角度说，《妖猫传》是一部很商业性的电影，以悬疑故事为线索，披上历史的外衣，表现形式通俗易懂。但是，影片的后半段存在非常明显的断裂。从极乐之宴到马嵬驿兵变，杨贵妃之死的真相完全靠阿部仲麻吕遗留的日记来揭示，结局中一段虚构的爱情故事也表达得非常仓促。

　　著名导演谢飞在豆瓣上发表评论：“商业类型片的外衣与艺术片的内涵追求相结合是可以的，但做好不易。”他认为，占据主要篇幅的两个人物白居易和空海沦为串场解说，探案推理的主干剧情以集锦综艺式的人物、场面、细节展开，都难以丰满、深入，感染力也就弱了。谢飞表示：“对这部作品我并不是失望，感受到了制作者的才华与努力，它引起了我很多思考。为什么许多过去创作出传世经典的、极富才华的创作者，如此用心、用力，包括巨额的用钱，拍出来的作品却常常不尽如人意？不仅票房、评论不如预期，更谈不上流传下去成为时代经典。是个人出了问题？还是环境出了问题？”

The question is: "in between" Farewell to My Concubine and "the promise", by how many "demon cat"?

Box office Kaige Chen or the best of ten years

Last Friday, on the same day, "the cat's biography", "the blood of machine", "the light of psychological guilt", launched a fierce fight with Fanghua, which has been released for a week.

According to the cat's Professional Edition Box Office data, opening day, Jackie Chan starred in the science fiction film "blood" machine with 30.3% row piece rate ranked first, the first day at the box office revenue 78 million 90 thousand yuan; "demon cat" in the 23.7% row piece rate, income 74 million 50 thousand yuan; "weaker city lights" psychological crime, 27.4% the row piece rate fetched 59 million 560 thousand yuan.

At present, the cat eye Professional Edition predicts that the total box office will exceed 500 million yuan, which is expected to become Kaige Chen's best performance in the market in the past ten years.

Controversy over the polarization of word of mouth

However, the "biography of the demon cat" caused a lot of controversy, serious word of mouth polarization, the score of the bean is also lower than when it was shown. In more than 86000 raters, 37.7% are Samsung, 12.2% are five-star praise, but also 13.8% of the audience hit a star and two star. The controversy surrounding the "biography of the demon cat" is mainly concentrated in two aspects: one is the flourishing Tang Dynasty, and who is the Tang Dynasty in the eyes of the movie? Two is the story of the film, is it too simple to break, and emotionally difficult to move?

Narration:

Clear split between the two segments

"Demon cat" adapted from the Japanese writer Baku yumeimakura novel "Salmonella.". Compared to the philosophical and speculative original works, the film has adopted a more popular approach. The movie can be seen as a mystery story: the palace play demon cat led to Bai Juyi (Huang Xuanshi) was dismissed, so he and from Japanese monk Kukai (Someya Masata ornaments) to begin to explore the truth of the death of yang. The first half of the film has a tight rhythm and a lot of suspense; the second half of the rhythm slows down, and gradually unraveling the riddle of the demon cat...

In many people, in addition to Bai Juyi, Tang Xuanzong, Yang Guifei, air, and "my Wei Chen Yunqiao and his wife Chun Qin gold", the great poet Li Bai and Gao Lishi etc.. The story is clear and all round. From this point of view, "the demon cat biography" is a very commercial film, with suspense story as the clue, put on the history of the coat, the form of expression is easy to understand. However, there is a very obvious break in the second half of the film. From heaven to feast Yi Mawei mutiny, Yang's death the truth by Abe Nakamaro left the diary to reveal, in the outcome of a fictional love story also expressed very hasty.

Xie Fei, a famous director, commented on the bean flap: "the combination of the outer garment of the commercial type and the pursuit of the artistic film is possible, but it is not easy to do it well." He believes that the two space occupying the main characters Bai Juyi and Konghai become on field commentary, the main plot detective on the scene, highlights the variety characters and details are difficult to full, deep infection, force is weak. Xie Fei said: "I am not disappointed in this work, I feel the talent and efforts of the producers, it has caused me a lot of thinking. Why do many of the great and talented creators who have created classics in the past are so creative and hard? Not only box office, comment is not as good as expected, more talk about not going down to become the classic of the times. Is it a problem for individuals? Or is the environment a problem? "
