Speaking of which, the problem that Chinese remakes have always been unavoidable is that they should not think about it beyond the original, and if they can be one or two positions away from the original, the remake will be successful.
In recent years, the first successful remake of the film Yunfan feels that it is "Manslaughter", because it fits the plot of the original work and Xiao Yang's wonderful acting skills, and has won 1.3 billion + box office while Douban scored 7.6 points (the original Douban score is 8.6), which is a model of double harvest at the box office.
There is also Rao Xiaozhi's "Surging Crowds", under the wonderful interpretation of Andy Lau and Xiao Yang, the box office and word-of-mouth have counterattacked in the later stage, and in the end it is still a success.
The remake of the film" created by Fujian Hengye Film Co., Ltd., the production company of "Manslaughter", will be released nationwide on November 19.
Will it be another successful remake after Manslaughter?
Yun Fan believes that there is still a great chance.

Recently, the security of women living alone has become a hot topic on the Internet.
Because in the past October, two women living alone were killed......... On October 1, 2021, a 25-year-old woman living alone in Xiamen was killed. The murderer was a housing agent who could not repay his debts, so he sought out "women living alone" as the target of the crime.
On October 13, a 28-year-old woman living alone in Shanghai disappeared at her home and was photographed by cameras as the killer dumped her body in a suitcase. The murderer turned out to be a neighbor on the same floor. After examination, there is no intersection between the two, and only because the girl lives alone, she is targeted by the murderer.

The plot of "Door Lock": Fang Hui (Bai Baihe) is a single white-collar woman who works hard in a big city, and recently when she lives alone at home, she often feels uneasy, and it seems that there is always a pair of invisible eyes peeking into her daily life... In the dim corridors, she felt herself being followed. And when I was taking a shower, the door lock began to shake violently... Fang Hui was so frightened that she changed the door password and put men's clothes at home........ However, over time, she discovered that the people around her seemed to have hidden ulterior motives.
Her boss, Li Youlin (Ma Yuke), has a strong sense of oppression and is a person with a deep sense of the city government, who sneaks into her door lock code for some reason;
Xiao Wu (Fan Chengcheng), the security guard of the building, had a "fierce" look in his eyes, was quite silent, and seemed to know all the information about Fang Hui. But once told her that the surveillance of the layer where she lived suddenly broke.
And the pet doctor Zheng Fei (Bai Ke) also appears repeatedly in her life, as if with a very mysterious atmosphere...
After Fang Hui encountered various strange things, her spirit gradually deteriorated, and even at this time, there were various situations such as violence, anesthesia, and aggression...
It is conceivable that when a woman living alone is tired and running for a day, returns to her own space, washes away her fatigue, and lies in a comfortable bed, suddenly this safest and warmest home has become the most dangerous place - the door lock is shaken, life is peeped, what should she do?
As a crime suspense film that focuses on realistic thrillers, the overall rhythm control of "Door Lock" and the setting off of the horror atmosphere are also very good, and the film's mirror makes the immersion of horror horror upgrade, and the dark tones plus character close-ups bring a strong visual impact to the audience.
"Door Lock" is a remake of the 2018 South Korean film of the same name, which was viewed by more than 1.55 million people when it was released in South Korea that year. The Korean version tells a series of thrilling stories that occur through the unlocked door locks and various traces, and Kyung-min, who lives alone, discovers that his home has been invaded by strangers.
Media commentary: The film "Door Lock" appropriately combines the murder that unfolds without knowing the true identity of the prisoner and the cold reaction of the surroundings, which has aroused the audience's uneasiness. At the same time, the film truly depicts the insecurity felt by women living alone, as well as social issues such as the sadness of non-regular employees in the workplace, which has resonated with many people.
One of the keys to the success of the remake is the actor, "Manslaughter" was able to achieve a double harvest at the box office at that time, and the wonderful interpretation of Xiao Yang, Chen Chong, Tan Zhuo and other powerful actors is inseparable.
In this movie "Door Lock", Bai Baihe, Bai Ke and Fan Chengcheng starred, and Wang Zixuan, Ma Yuke, Liu Huan and Liu Wei starred.
Bai Baihe is a former "box office queen", graduated from the undergraduate class of the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and came from a class.
In 2006, he entered the entertainment industry by starring in his first TV series "Days Related to Youth". Later, he was familiar to the audience with the love movie "33 Days of Lost Love" and won the Best Actress Award at the 31st Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films.
After that, he successively starred in "Floating sinking", "The Five Years That Were Stolen", "Private Customization", "Grow Up", "Catch the Demon", "Get Out!". Tumor Jun", "Hotpot Hero", "Kidnapper", "Surgical Storm", "Catch the Demon 2" and other film and television works.
Among them, in 2015, the box office of "To Catch a Demon" on the first day of release broke the first and single-day box office records of Chinese films, and the final box office reached 2.44 billion, creating a box office record for mainland film history and a record for the number of moviegoers in mainland film history. In that year, Bai Baihe topped China's annual film box office list with a box office performance of 3.064 billion yuan for the annual starring film, becoming the first actress in the annual starring film box office rankings.
However, bai baihe lost the audience's popularity because of the well-known "one yang finger" incident, and made a comeback after a low profile of one or two years.
Despite this, Bai Baihe's acting skills are still very good. This time in "Door Lock", Bai Baihe changed the image created in previous movies and starred in a white-collar woman who lived alone in an urban area who was violated.
It can be seen from the trailer and other places that Bai Baihe's acting skills are very tense, and every eye also has a play, which is very rich in the level of the role.
Bai Ke in the movie is to play the pet doctor Zheng Fei, which is his first challenge to crime films, but also contributed a detailed performance, outstanding performance.
After becoming famous with the voice of Wan He and "Wan Wan Unexpected" (my name is Wang Sledgehammer), Bai Ke has honed his acting skills in various film and television works, and has successively starred in "Mermaid", "Big Trouble Tianzhu", "The Great Cause of Building the Army", "The Man Captured by the Light", "Revolutionary", "Peak Explosion" and other film and television works, and is now a powerful actor.
In fact, many plots of "Door Lock" have added localized plots on the basis of the Korean version, which makes it seem very grounded and real, which can trigger the empathy of the whole people.
The film cuts from the perspective of women living alone, so that all viewers can more intuitively feel the various injuries that women living alone are prone to at present, and also explores the social phenomena such as "insecurity at night" and "sexual harassment in the workplace" that many girls are facing.
"Door Lock" not only caters to the empathy of women living alone at present, but also allows more viewers to experience the difficulty of living alone. As the film emphasizes: living alone is her choice, not a reason to be hurt.
