陈凯歌《妖猫传》首周票房破两亿元 口碑两极分化

《赵氏孤儿》 上映七年之后，陈凯歌再度进军贺岁档。这一次他带来的是筹备制作长达七年的奇幻电影 《妖猫传》，与上一部他执导的同类型影片《无极》恰巧间隔了十二年。许多人对后者的“烂片”印象逐渐改观，而新作的口碑再次呈两极分化趋势。上周五上映后，在首周三天破两亿元、相对其体量只能说表现较为一般的票房成绩下，爱《妖猫传》的人对影片中盛世大唐的极致之美念念不忘，而“恨”它的人，再次对这位第五代导演领军人物表达了“怒其不争”的感慨之情。

票房

或成陈凯歌十年来最佳

上周五，《妖猫传》正式在内地上映，与同日上映的《机器之血》《心理罪之城市之光》 以及已经上映一周的《芳华》展开了“激烈厮杀”，三天下来战况胶着。

猫眼专业版数据显示，截至昨日晚8点，三部新上映影片的三日累计票房以《妖猫传》的2.32亿元为首，《机器之血》1.86亿紧随其后，《心理罪之城市之光》1.38亿元排在第三。然而随着《芳华》口碑持续发酵，三部新片的单日票房仅在上映首日力压《芳华》，随后周末便被反超，后者也成为上周末唯一单日票房过亿的影片，目前累计票房已达8.17亿元。

首映日当天，成龙主演的科幻题材影片《机器之血》以约30%位居第一的全国排片率，单日票房报收7800万元，《妖猫传》 以约400万元的差距位居第二。随后周末两天，《芳华》 顺利夺回单日票房冠军宝座，《妖猫传》 则以稳定在24%左右的全国排片率，继续稳居票房榜榜眼位置，上映三天单日票房均未破亿。

相比陈凯歌上一部在2015年暑期档上映的作品《道士下山》，此次《妖猫传》首周票房有所上涨。前者首周三天报收1.9亿元，累计票房4亿元。后者据猫眼专业版预测，总票房为5.09亿元。尽管这一预估成绩并不突出，如果实现《妖猫传》将是陈凯歌近十年来电影的最佳市场表现之作。

口碑

景美人美，梦回大唐

目前《妖猫传》豆瓣评分为6.9分，比开画时的7.2分略有小跌。从评分的人数比例来看，近7万的评分者中占比最大约37.5%的人给出三星评价，紧随其后约36.2%给出了四星，其余五星与两星以下各占一半。

《无极》之后陈凯歌拍了《梅兰芳》《赵氏孤儿》《搜索》和《道士下山》，豆瓣评分分别为6.9分、5.8分、7.3分和5.4分，单从《妖猫传》的评分来看只能说影片水准在及格以上。不过从影评人与普通观众的反馈来看，妖猫传的优点与缺点同样明显，也许这也是目前口碑趋于两极分化的原因之一。

毫无疑问，《妖猫传》 是美的，景美人美，令人唏嘘的帝妃爱情与少年执着也让人感受到了悲剧之美。陈凯歌拍戏向来倾向于实景拍摄，这一次历时六年才完工的“唐城长安”，带领着观众“梦回大唐”，真实又梦幻的感觉恰到好处，既有视觉冲击力，又不会过于“喧宾夺主”，以故事和人物背景的辅助作用无缝融入影片。

同时，许多人赞叹，陈凯歌拍出了一众演员的“最好状态”。最受关注的杨玉环，张榕容一出场便打消了观众的疑虑。就剧中角色最终成为历史硝烟下牺牲品的命运来说，陈凯歌希望高贵且具有神秘感的杨贵妃，尽管内心深处波涛汹涌，但表演必须“云淡风轻”，而张榕容出色地完成了任务，“她的脸是华美但安静的，眼睛里沉静哀愁的同时还有种光辉”。除此之外，黄轩是“疯魔”白乐天，染谷将太是“迷之微笑”空海和尚，秦昊是“贪生怕死”金吾卫，张雨绮是“妖艳魅惑”春琴，张鲁一是“癫狂霸气”李隆基，辛柏青是潇洒酒仙李白，刘昊然是意气风发少年白龙，陈凯歌“将对的演员放到了对的位置”，人物活了，这个“幻想世界”也就活了。

遗憾

丢了原著哲学思辨

为了更好地改编日本原作小说《沙门空海之大唐鬼宴》，陈凯歌为《妖猫传》请来了李安御用编剧、曾写过《卧虎藏龙》《饮食男女》等经典影片剧本的王蕙玲。相比原作，电影最大的改动是精简了人物，比如僧人空海的好友、遣唐儒生橘逸势便被删去，一部分性格加到了白居易身上。

尽管已经作了大幅改编，还是有许多观众表示，影片前半部分和后半部分割裂感严重：前半段是白居易的时代，让大家惴惴不安的杀人妖猫引得主角二人组开始探查谜团，节奏紧凑，颇有悬疑破案片的感觉，后半段则着重于唐玄宗时代的贵妃传说，阿部仲麻吕将从极乐之宴到马嵬驿兵变盛极而衰的真相娓娓道来。然而到了结尾，白乐天、空海与丹龙白龙会面的过程又过于仓促。

同时，也有原著粉提出了自己的不满，比如电影丢掉了原著带有的哲学思辨——小说中空海和妖猫在陈宅会面时以言语斗法，而这一段在电影中仅余空海向猫妖追问血案的线索。还有影迷认为，“影片场面大格局小，到头来还是一个人人都爱杨贵妃的玛丽苏魔幻神剧，把《无极》又用幻术演了一遍。”

对于展现“大唐盛世”的核心主题，也有影评人表示，由于受到原作所限，影片所展现的唐文化终归带有“日本的基因”，“陈凯歌和王慧玲都没有对日本作家的想象做进一步处理，电影中的文化符号混乱，情感暧昧，深情的部分反而难以得到体现。”

The first week of Kaige Chen's "the biography of the demon cat" broke the polarization of two hundred million yuan in the box office

The "orphan" released in seven years, Kaige Chen once again enter the Lunar New Year stalls. This time he brought the seven year old fantasy movie "the devil cat biography", which was twelve years apart from the last movie he had directed.

Word of mouth

In the United States, dreaming Datang

From the score proportion, accounting for about 37.5% of the people than the evaluation given Samsung nearly 70 thousand raters, followed by about 36.2% and the rest are four-star, five-star stars following each half.

"The promise", "Mei Lanfang" after Kaige Chen took the "orphan" to "search" and "Taoist mountain", watercress score were 6.9 points, 5.8 points, 7.3 points and 5.4 points, single from "demon cat biography" the score only said the movie level in more than a pass. However, from the feedback of movie critics and ordinary audiences, the advantages and disadvantages of the cat pass are also obvious. Maybe this is one of the reasons why word of mouth tends to polarization.

There is no doubt that the "demon cat" is beautiful, beautiful person, a sigh of love and dedication to the imperial concubine youth also let people feel the beauty of tragedy. Kaige Chen was always inclined to real shooting, this time lasted six years before completion of the "city of Changan", led the audience to "dreaming Datang", real and fantastic feeling just perfect, not only the visual impact, but it won't be too distracting, the auxiliary function of the story and the characters background seamlessly into the movie.

You play the role of the victim eventually became history -- fate, Kaige Chen hope that noble and mysterious Yang Guifei, although the heart but the show must "roaring waves, clear, and Rongrong Zhang brilliantly completed the task," her face is beautiful but quiet, quiet eyes sad and bright". In addition, Huang Xuan's "madness" Bai Letian, Someya Masata "fans of the empty monk, smile" Qin Hao "to" Jin Wuwei, Zhang Yuqi "enchanting charm" spring, "mad Li Longji Luyi Zhang Bian", Xin Baiqing Li Bai Liu Hao is so handsome brewmaster, Kaige Chen "the young white dragon in high and vigorous spirits, of the actor on the position of" people live, the "fantasy world" will live.

Embody. "

regret

Lost the philosophical thought of the original work

In order to better adapted Japanese novel "Salmonella air of Datang Kaige Chen as the" ghost feast "," demon cat invited Ang Lee queen screenwriter, wrote "Crouching.Tiger,Hidden.Dragon" "and other classic films" the natural instincts of man plays Wang Huiling. Compared to the original film, the biggest change is to streamline the characters, such as the Tang Dynasty monk Kukai's friends, scholars tachibanano hayanari will be deleted and the character part added to the body of Bai Juyi.

Although it has made substantial adaptation, there are still many viewers said, the first half of the film and the second half split fracture serious: first half of the era of Bai Juyi, to kill demon cat attracted two groups of people anxious and fearful protagonist began to explore the mystery, the rhythm of the compact, a broken piece of suspense case feeling, the second half emphasizes in the era of Emperor Xuanzong of Princess Abe Nakamaro from the legend, the bliss of feast to Mawei Yi mutiny bust truth meanders. However, to the end, Bai Letian met with the white dragon, Konghai Danlong too hasty.

At the same time, also has the original powder to make their own grievances, such as film lost original with speculative philosophy -- Konghai and demon cat novels meet in Chen Zhai to verbal battle of wits, and this section only Konghai to ask more than cat in the movie murder clues. Some fans think, "the movie scene in the end or a pattern of small, everybody loves Marysu Yang's magic oratorio, put" the promise "and play magic again."

To show the core theme of "Tang Dynasty", critics also said that due to the limitation of the original film, to show the culture of Tang Dynasty will with Japan "gene", "Kaige Chen and Wang Huiling are not on the Japanese writer's imagination for further processing, the symbol of the film's emotional confusion, ambiguous, affectionate part of it is difficult to be reflected."
