Why didn't One Step Go continue the success of Let the Bullets Fly?

Because "Let the Bullets Fly" is so successful, our expectations for "One Step Away" are too high. And just as Jiang Wen was filming One Step Away, he began to tell stories, and the dialogue was terrible, which made the audience dizzy. Naturally, he can't continue the success of Let the Bullets Fly. Without the excellent reputation of Let the Bullets Fly, the final box office of One Step Away will be even more shabby.

When filming "One Step Away", we melon eaters wondered whether it would be a sequel to "Let the Bullets Fly", because a big hole was buried at the end of "Let the Bullets Fly", and Zhang Mazi's brothers rolled up their money and ran to Shanghai where "One Step Away" took place. Moreover, "One Step Away" participated in many foreign film festivals, and released a poster or notice every once in a while, which kept the audience's appetite alive for two years. So when One Step Away was released, the audience had high expectations. Although they didn't expect it to be as classic as Let the Bullets Fly, at least it should look good.

But Jiang Wen is Jiang Wen, and we will never guess whether his next movie will be delicious food or rotten rice. Although we waited for many years, even though we iron fans let "One Step Away" box office exceed 200 million when it was pre-sold, it still failed to stop Jiang Wen's humanity and freedom. He totally ignored the expectations of the audience and the reputation saved by letting bullets fly, and abruptly brought us One Step Away, which is not a fragmented film in my opinion.

Later, word-of-mouth declined sharply. We all know that One Step Away once set two records, one is the pre-sale box office record, and the other is the minimum price difference record between the final box office and the pre-sale box office. After "One Step Away" was released, there was a flood of bad reviews. "One Step Away" is actually very similar to "Let the Bullets Fly", but it is handled too casually, which is a bit crude and abstruse, which directly leads to the audience's disapproval.

Expectations are too high, so disappointment is too great. "One Step Away" doesn't tell a good story, but it is also mixed with many elements of stage performance. It seems to be suspected of an experimental movie, but don't forget that we bought tickets to watch movies, not to see your cleverness. One Step Away is not a good movie except that Zhou Yun is still beautiful. So it is easy to understand why it failed to continue the success of Let the Bullets Fly.
