"Manslaughter 2" can be said to have taken a "top-back separation" dilemma.
On the one hand, in the 11 days of release, it took 750 million yuan of good box office results; on the other hand, word of mouth almost took a bad review: Douban 5.9 rating, more than 50% of the audience gave 2-3 stars low rating.
With the release of the first wave of word-of-mouth of "Manslaughter 2", most netizens gave bad reviews after watching the movie:
Some netizens said that if you go to see the previous movie with the mentality of watching it, you will be disappointed, because the script of the second movie is too dishy and the plot is bland.
Another netizen directly pointed out that the plot of "Manslaughter 2" is protracted and boring, and the "big platter" that pieces together a number of foreign movie clips can no longer be given to two stars.
Looking at these word-of-mouth drama reviews, the curator thought of an idiom: it is actually difficult to be worthy under the name.
"Manslaughter 1" finally won the Douban 7.6 points, 1.33 billion yuan box office results ended, although it is only a remake, but the plot suspense is not lacking, it can be said that it is both popular and applauded. In fact, most of the audience went to see "Manslaughter 2" with the mentality of watching the previous game.
Is Manslaughter 2 really a low-quality movie with a high box office? The curator will talk to everyone today.
He has a "comedic" actor temperament, but he plays a "big villain" who feels terrible.
Discuss "Manslaughter 2" is inseparable from its predecessor, as a remake of the film no one expected it to be a big hit, the curator thought that behind the success of "Manslaughter 1", most of the credit should be attributed to Chen Sicheng, Ke Wenli, they brought the suspense and decryption of "Tang Detective" to this movie; at the same time, they also chose the right actor - Xiao Yang, this actor with a "comedic" temperament, giving people a loyal and honest surface, did not expect to play a bad person can also make people see "creepy", such actors are too few.
As a singer, Xiao Yang has produced very few new songs in recent years, but more and more movies have participated. On the contrary, Wang Taili, as a partner, has become less and less famous, perhaps Xiao Yang is aware that there will be more prospects for transforming movies, so he put the plan on the road of transformation.
Xiao Yang is a very talented person, his talent is not only reflected in singing, he even wrote and directed himself to act in a big network movie, although the final box office is very poor; originally thought that Xiao Yang, who had a "comedy" actor temperament, was only suitable for starring in such a funny style as "Weather Pre-explosion", the limitations would be very large, I did not expect him to play the bad guy, still make people feel afraid.
Xiao Yang's transformation can be said to be full of drama, at the beginning he was only a supporting role in "Tang Detective 1", a policeman "Kun Tai" with a big oil head wearing a floral shirt, although funny but impressed everyone, Chen Sicheng gave him a different role in the follow-up "Tang Detective" movie after seeing the flash points on him, the most profound is Song Yi (a member of the Q organization), at the end of "Tang Detective 2", he smiled across the evil charm of the barbed wire, and the previous image had a world of difference "hidden deeply".
It also indicates that Xiao Yang almost has the "Film Emperor" level acting skills, and at this point, his transformation has been successful.
"Manslaughter" is Xiao Yang's first crime suspense film after his transformation, although it is a remake, but the lineup is strong enough:
Produced by Chen Sicheng and directed by Ke Wenli;
Starring Chen Chong, Jiang Haowen, Xiao Yang and Tan Zhuo.
Such a card division is also a high-box office guarantee now, the plot has also been built into a high-burning brain suspense film of Tang Detective movies and web drama series, Xiao Yang's acting skills are even more than expected, on the one hand, honest people living in low-level society, on the other hand, for the sake of the family for their children can become bad people, Xiao Yang was also nominated as a "movie emperor" candidate with this movie.
How many of the unknown "Easter eggs" in "Manslaughter 2" do you understand?
The entire "manslaughter series" can be seen as a branch line of "Tang Detective", "Manslaughter 1" takes the "Chinatown Detective 1" and the network drama of the brain-burning reasoning route, full of all kinds of details, foreshadowing, but this kind of film audience is limited and can not achieve universal popularization of all ages, so the box office can only stop 1.33 billion yuan; when it comes to "Manslaughter 2", Chen Sicheng wants to change this situation, he hopes that this movie is not only for a small number of audiences who like Benge reasoning suspense films, but can cover the entire young people' group. On the plot style to make a major change: dig deep into the entertainment and commerciality of the film, ignore the original original reasoning, which leads to why the box office is so high, the reputation is not as good as the previous work.
In fact, "Manslaughter 2" also takes the path of "Tang Detective 2 and 3", wants to give up the reasoning to the end, and takes the road of "family fun" as a result, and the reputation is getting lower and lower. The biggest difference between "Manslaughter 2" and 1 is that the first part gives you a plot of reversal and reversal, both in depth and scale, while the second part gives you a smorgasbord of story plots, which is why fans will give such a low rating after watching "Manslaughter 2", because they are holding the mentality of watching the first part to watch the sequel.
But for the audience who have not seen the previous work, "Manslaughter 2" is very good in both the plot and the actor's acting skills, and the director even played a "careful machine" in the movie and buried 2 "Easter eggs":
01, the meaning of the actor's name. The starring name of "Manslaughter 2" has its own meaning, such as Ren Dahua playing the policeman "Zhang Zhengyi", he will not give up the pursuit of the truth, there are 2 shots in the movie with deep meaning, one is that Zhang Zhengyi looks at the sky shrouded in dark clouds overhead, and Lin Zhilang also looks at the black roof of the hospital, when you want to look through the abyss, it is also looking at you, which indicates that Lin Zhilang seeks to be equal in front of life, and the truth that Zhang Zhengyi is looking for is like a black cloud, which cannot be seen.
02, everything is "fake". About the ending of "Manslaughter 2" in fact, there is an Easter egg after the end of the subtitles, in fact, the worm is not sick, all this is filming, Lin Zhilang is an actor, their family of three acting on the set, Zhang Zhengyi, played by Ren Dahua, is the director, while praising Lin Zhilang's acting skills are in place, while escorting them out of the set, this Easter egg is to give everyone Happy Ending, just like the fireflies that appear many times in the movie, metaphor for everyone to believe in hope, believe that fairness and justice will come.
Curator's words about the movie: Compared with the previous work, "Manslaughter 2" is not a wonderful ben-style reasoning movie, but the audience who went to the scene held the mentality of watching the previous work, so it led to the high box office and low reputation of this movie, overall, the story plot is still relatively wonderful, the director buried those small Easter eggs, the movie is still a lot; but the most surprising to the curator is Xiao Yang, an actor with a "comedy" temperament, who will still feel terrible when playing a bad guy.
