Since the release of "Country Love" in 2006, 13 films have been broadcast so far. Many characters with distinct personalities in the play have become the highlights of this TV series, Liu Neng, who is poor and loves rich, loves greed and cheapness, and Xie Guangkun, who has a lot of eyes and a good brain...
Zhao Si, played by Liu Xiaoguang, broke through the name of "Nicholas Zhao Si" for himself with a funny and strange dance posture.
What is surprising is that the original "Nicholas Zhao Si" was just a joke from many netizens, but Liu Xiaoguang made an online movie "Asian Dance King" with this gimmick.
The film won 3.04 million at the box office in 5 days of release, which seems to be good on the surface, but in fact, this is the result of dual-platform release. On average, each platform is only more than a million, which is not much different from many online movies that have been sprayed as "bad films".
Although Jia Bing, Wen Song and others were invited to make cameos in the play, it still did not change the reality of the collapse of word of mouth. Netizens' comments are generally the same, basically complaining about their dissatisfaction with this movie.
"Asian Dance King" looks like a talent show, but it is actually an inspirational film, with the plot as the main plot and the street dance as a supplement.
The film tells the story of 60-year-old Zhao Yongyong, in order to encourage his grandson Ogawa, who was injured by dancing, to learn street dance from scratch and participate in the Asian Dance King Competition.
Objectively speaking, the movie story is very cheesy, but it fully explains the causes and consequences, the motivations of the characters, and it is obvious that some effort has been spent on the creation of the script, which is much more conscientious than most online movies with special effects as gimmicks.
Whether it is the family background of the three generations of grandchildren, or the character experiences of several dance teachers, the film explains it more clearly, and even deliberately sets up the plot of Zhao Yong's participation in the dance king competition due to tension and dysfunction, which provides a conflict and opportunity for the characters' dance skills to improve and grow up internally.
But why do people still feel that the plot is very ridiculous?
"Not funny enough Nicholas Zhao Si."
"The plot is really ridiculous"
"That's a gimmick!" The script is not solid, the narrative is general, and the texture is poor. ”
In the final analysis, the story framework of "Asian Dance King" is OK, but it is not well grasped in the details, and there are even many contradictory plots.
If a person has to do something, he must have a driving force that cannot be easily changed, such as survival, love, revenge, etc.
In "The King of Asian Dance", the opportunity that prompted Zhao Yongyong to learn street dance and participate in the competition was that his grandson gave up on himself, which seemed reasonable on the surface, but in fact it was far from the level that must be done.
Ogawa fell off the stage while participating in the school's theatrical performance, not only was he physically injured, but he also lost face, and he gave up participating in the street dance competition he had been dreaming of.
If Ogawa's injury is serious, the doctor said that there is a high probability that he will be paralyzed, and he will indeed be devastated by this blow. But Ogawa's condition is that his condition is almost better, the plaster cast on his leg has also been removed, and the movie forcibly installs a self-destructive setting for him, which is a problem.
Where is self-abandonment? Can't even listen to the word hip-hop?
Ogawa's body is already unharmed, and only the loss of face in front of the teachers and students in the school is left, but this inner motivation obviously cannot convince the audience, because it is too different from everyone's cognition. Whoever didn't lose anyone when they were young didn't always continue to lose people the next day with vigor and vigor?
The film forcibly created a character for Ogawa that should not exist, and let Zhao Yong use this as a motivation to learn street dance, which can be said to have a strong sense of violation at the beginning.
In the process of Zhao yongly learning street dance, there are more slot points.
For example, Zhao Yongyong's money was stolen on the bus.
In addition to leading the character of Jia Bing, this plot is unnecessary in the movie. Because Jia Bing is irrelevant in the main plot, removing this plot will not affect the plot advancement. Then the reason why the director did this is obvious, that is, to rub Jia Bing's face. But this kind of forced rubbing, on the contrary, makes the plot have a great sense of separation.
The plot of Ogawa letting a female classmate secretly spy on her grandfather is equally difficult to understand.
At the beginning of the movie, it is explained that Ogawa and Ichigo are not very old students. Then a flower as a girl ran away to a remote area, compared with her grandfather, the one who was not deeply involved in the world and was not very old was the one who was more worrying, right?
It is not difficult to see from the plot that this is an intention to shape the relationship between Ogawa, Ichigo, and Grandpa, but this kind of setting that abandons reality and takes it for granted is difficult to make people feel substitution.
Later, Zhao Yongyong found a small hotel to stay, and the hostess heard that he wanted to learn street dance and introduced his daughter Xiaolian, who had learned street dance, to him. At first, Xiaolian refused on the grounds that she was rejected by her mother for learning street dance, but later agreed but introduced her boyfriend Wu Youyou to Zhao Yongyong.
This plot is actually very inexplicable.
First of all, the boss lady is not accustomed to her daughter learning street dance, so it shows that for many years it has been very repulsive to street dance, even if she knows that Zhao Yong wants to learn, she should not be so enthusiastic not to say dissuade, not to mention that she still found her daughter who had preached to her many times before.
This is followed by Xiaolian. If in the end it is destined to let Wu Worry teach him, then at the beginning of the direct preaching can not be finished, why take the mother not to let herself learn street dance? This plot is like, although I don't have the ability to teach you, but I still have to reject you, what kind of strange design is this?
The most sensational is the street dance teacher Wu worry.
In the play, Wu Youyou used all his savings to build a rehearsal field, hoping to use it as his love nest with Xiaolian. Who knows that the income is unstable, and even the rent of five hundred yuan per month cannot be paid. After Xiaolian left, he gave up on himself and fell into selling art on the street.
Sounds miserable isn't it? This is not the case at all.
The students taught by Wu Youyou have won the championship in international competitions, "French Street Dance Competition Lock Dance Champion", "International World Street Dance Competition Hip Hop Champion", "Japan World Street Dance Competition Shock Dance Champion", "International World Street Dance Competition Floor Dance Champion"
Many of the champion teachers have been reduced to street sales, is this because they can't do publicity? Obviously not.
When Zhao Yongyong first participated in the competition, he was eliminated because he was too nervous to move his legs. Wu Wu worried about mobilizing the resources in the circle, and in two weeks, Zhao yongly became an Internet celebrity and successfully won the place in the resurrection competition.
It can be seen from the above that on the one hand, the director wants to create the current situation of the unsatisfactory life of street dance workers, but he does not carefully polish the script, and directly assumes that everyone is set on Wu Youyou alone, but there are many inexplicable contradictions.
As a movie with hip-hop as the core, "Asian Dance King" even has the suspicion of misguided.
According to normal logic, a novice who has just studied for two months cannot win over an old dancer who has been studying for many years, and the film does follow this logic. However, when explaining, there was a problem, and the host said that "with the strength of Nicholas Zhao Si, even if you try hard, it is difficult to reach the professional level."
Then the problem comes, before Zhao Yong successfully got the tickets for the final circle with the popularity of the Internet, according to the setting that as long as the fame is high, you can directly advance to the final, then everyone will go to the hype and it will be over!
"Asian Dance King" as an online movie, on the whole, is still OK, but seriously you will lose...
