The movie "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain", which has been promoted for a long time, was finally released yesterday, and this movie has won too many honors before it was released, and Mr. Fan Wei successfully won the best actor of the Beijing Film Festival with this movie.
However, the addition of Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu, two powerful actors, and the blessing of the title of actor and actress, do not seem to make this film a little closer to the box office appeal of commercial films.
Although Fan Wei is the absolute protagonist in this movie, Zhou Dongyu has not a lot of roles in this movie, and we have to admit a fact through this movie, that is: Zhou Dongyu, the most talented young actress born in the 90s in China, who fought from the bottom, is changing from applauding and applauding, to not being very popular.
The last time Zhou Dongyu showed his box office appeal was the movie "Young You" released in 2019, this movie was because of the addition of Yi Yang Qianxi, and in the end, the two of them successfully won the box office of 1.5 billion.
The movie "Young You" also allowed Zhou Dongyu to sweep the major awards of Hundred Flowers, Golden Rooster, and Golden Statue, and the box office reputation was a bumper harvest.
But after this movie, Zhou Dongyu's movies from "You Are My Spring", "Burning Winter", "Parrot Killing", "Hot Search", etc., the box office results are not ideal.
"You Are My Spring" has a box office of 30 million, "Burning Winter" has a box office of 26 million, "Parrot Kill" has a box office of 39 million, and "Hot Search" has a box office of 63 million, none of which exceed 100 million.
"Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain", a niche movie, sure enough, after its release, the box office on the first day was only about 3 million, while the box office of the movie "Wandering Blade", which was also released today, was 10 million.
Along with the box office of Zhou Dongyu's starring movie encountering Waterloo, Zhou Dongyu's acting skills have been questioned more and more.
The initial reason for this is that in the costume TV series "Eternal Juechen" starring Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai, many people think that Zhou Dongyu is not suitable for the role of the heroine of "Eternal Juechen", and the styling is also a little distracted, even inferior to the maid ring next to him.
Because the appearance is not up to par, and the acting skills are not obvious enough in the TV series, it has led to the audience's rebellious psychology, which in turn has affected word of mouth.
Since this TV series, there have been rumors that Zhou Dongyu's acting skills have been beaten back to their original shape, and complaints have been overwhelming, and many viewers think that Zhou Dongyu's acting skills in this drama are not like the Three Golden Queens at all.
It was also from this TV series that Zhou Dongyu's reputation reversed, and the box office of the movies he starred in before was basically guaranteed, and many movies set records in the film industry, but almost none of the movies after this TV series played very well.
However, is Zhou Dongyu's acting skills really sorry for the title of the Three Golden Queens?
It is undeniable that Zhou Dongyu, as a female star born in 92, was able to achieve such high results in the film industry and successfully won the three golden films, which has a certain relationship with luck.
Because if you compare Zhou Dongyu with the 85 flowers and 90 flowers in the same period, you will find that in the film field, almost no one has the strength to come out and fight against Zhou Dongyu.
If Zhou Dongyu had been born a few years earlier and fought in the era of Sidan Shuangbing, maybe her road to winning the award would not have been so smooth, but from another point of view, her acting skills may be honed better.
In fact, the actors of her era are all in the field of TV dramas, and actors who have almost no shots can compete with her in the film field.
Bai Baihe may be able to compete with her before he has an accident, after all, after Zhang Ziyi, the most aura and high hopes on the screen is Bai Baihe, whose acting skills are vivid and aura, and his starring achievements in the field of movies have been matched so far.
But Bai Baihe's overturn gave Zhou Dongyu a chance, among the actors of this age, he is an excellent rider. And the actors of 95 flowers, the next generation of actors with more aura such as Zhang Zifeng, Wen Qi and others, have not yet formed a climate.
The fault line of talent has allowed her to eat enough of the actor dividend at this age, which is her excellent luck.
But if Zhou Dongyu has no acting skills, it is definitely a prejudice against her.
In the movie "Young You", she completely broke through her past roles and presented the best acting skills in her life since her debut 8 years ago, which was unanimously recognized by the majority of fans and audiences and professional film critics, and swept major awards, which is a proof of her strength.
Let's come back to the movie "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain".
In this movie, the absolute protagonist of the movie is Fan Wei, whether it is the lens language or the focus of events, the focus on Fan Wei is more.
And Mr. Fan Wei did play well, everyone knows that Fan Wei's performance in the TV series "The Long Season" is very outstanding, but in this movie, Mr. Fan Wei's performance is still outstanding.
Fan Wei portrays the psychology of a prisoner who has just been released from prison quite accurately, from the initial resignation to the process of slowly moving closer to this society, the psychological change and behavior change are very well controlled.
When you say goodbye to the prison warning, you will lower your eyebrows and be pleasing to your eyes; When I was sleeping, I would wake up when I heard the sound of the siren, and when I slowly integrated into this society, Mr. Fan Wei's interpretation was very delicate and nuanced.
And Zhou Dongyu's performance in this movie is also quite outstanding. The performance in the first half of the movie is Zhou Dongyu's ruling area, and he handles a rebellious girl with psychological problems very well.
But after being paralyzed, Zhou Dongyu interpreted the image of a paralyzed patient too brilliantly, it was a big explosion of acting skills, which was very shocking.
The movie "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" focuses on the story of two prisoners who have been released from prison, and the choice of subject matter is very avant-garde and realistic, just like in 2019, before school bullying caused large-scale social discussion, Zhou Dongyu chose to star in the movie "Young You", which focuses on school bullying.
The storyline of the follow-up movie "Morning Clouds and Twilight Rain" is not perfect enough, but as actors, the performance and effect of Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu are very outstanding.
Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu are typical representatives of the current domestic entertainment who are doing their best to explore the field of performance.
If Fan Wei and Zhou Dongyu take the route of traffic and pass a large number of fan comments, then the movie starring them, after its release, with their acting skills, the box office performance must be excellent.
But compared with the current popular stars of domestic entertainment, acting in TV series is all saved by dubbing, and movies can't use the original voice to play a brilliant role, the mainstream authoritative awards are basically zero, and they are getting older and older, and they continue to mix in idol dramas with no acting skills, which is somewhat ridiculous.
However, it is also these "traffic", relying on the support of those fans who are crazy about their presence, a little trivial matter, dominating the hot search lists of various platforms, eating the most commercial dividends, which seems somewhat funny.
I often see that some fans are only interested in appearance and traffic when their idols do not have the corresponding acting skills, and even when their idols do not get the corresponding awards, they are very compulsive.
Fortunately, there are also actors who rely on their acting skills to get out of the circle, and they are not coerced by traffic, which allows us to see the hope of the film industry.
