From "one of the six middle school students" to "persuasion group", is Deng Chao underestimated?

8 days after release, Douban 7.1 points, word of mouth belongs to the best in the same schedule, but the box office results have not exceeded 100 million, and the total box office is not only far behind "Exchange Life", which ranks at the bottom of the Spring Festival file.

Even the word-of-mouth Waterloo Marvel's new film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Frenzy" has not been able to fight.

This is the current situation faced by the movie "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back" with twists and turns on the road to the file, after missing the competitive Spring Festival file, the Jedi counterattacked, did not usher in a counterattack, but faced "Jedi".

Most of the audiences who have seen it have given good reviews, believing that the film is seriously underestimated.

In sports-themed movies, although "Chinese Table Tennis" does not present much breakthrough, it renders the athletes' fighting spirit and the tension, enthusiasm, and high combustion of the arena very well, and the tears and ignition coexist, which is quite emotional.

Whether it is the high reputation of the Spring Festival or the Douban results that have passed the test now, they are all worthy of the name, but why has this movie with a good feedback from the audience been in a state of "undervaluation" at the box office?

There are two reasons for this.

One is a bit of bad luck.

"Chinese Table Tennis" was originally one of the "Seven King Kongs" of the Spring Festival file, and it pointed to the Spring Festival market early, and the movie publicity was basically opened, but for various reasons, it was necessary to change the lines, change the title of the film, and temporarily withdraw the file.

Subsequently, it was once chosen to be released on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but because of the fierce competition in the Spring Festival file, the film schedule was very tense, and finally "Chinese Table Tennis" decided to change the file to mid-February and set the file for three times, which not only wasted a lot of publicity effects.

It also distracts the audience.

The battlefield pays attention to "one blow, then decline, three exhaustion", the same is true of the box office battle, the two releases led to the most interested wave of audiences being diverted, tap water for word-of-mouth fermentation lacked a bit of concentrated momentum.

The second is the historical "pot" of two directors, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei.

No matter how the audience who has seen it praises "Chinese Table Tennis", some passers-by will question: Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, a well-known "persuasion combination" in the movie circle, can really make us feel at ease to choose?

The "sequelae" of "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" are too strong, making it difficult for many audiences to change their perception, "Chinese Table Tennis" is cold, and there are also two directors who are still "paying off debts" for their earlier works.

The combination of multiple factors has formed a situation in which "Chinese Table Tennis" is underestimated and cold.

But it is not only this movie that is underestimated, but also the starring Deng Chao.

The popularity of the TV series "Crazy" in the opening year has set off another wave of "uncle circle" fever on the Internet, but most of the lists do not have Deng Chao's figure, and posts that inventory the results of middle-class movies often complain that Deng Chao "can't do it".

Even, there will be a surprise to young audiences: Deng Chao is actually one of the six middle school students!

Seeing this, Qiyan suddenly realized that many young people's memories of Deng Chao should not be the powerful actors of the past, but the current "bad film director", or in other words, they have not experienced the peak of Deng Chao's real strength.

As a director, he is controversial, but as an actor, Deng Chao is quite durable.

Regardless of the results of the work, or the strength of the individual.

"Young Tianzi" and "The First in the World" during the newcomer period are word-of-mouth costume dramas often inventoried by netizens, and the masterpieces of the popular period are basically popular ratings kings, and they were once in a state of annual explosion.

With Sun Li's love work "Happiness Like a Flower" was popular across the board, it was a popular hit in 05, and in the era of sadomasochistic Korean dramas, this romantic story still left its name in love-themed works.

This TV series is also a key work for Sun Li's transition from the popular "rock girl" to the "queen of ratings".

"Women Don't Cry" in 06 was one of the annual hot dramas at that time, the ratings champion of the same schedule, many rounds of hits, the influence is a bit like "Niang Dao" that was quite well rated a few years ago, but the reputation is much better than "Niang Dao".

Subsequently, Deng Chao and Sun Li cooperated again in "Sweet Honey" and "The Difficult Love of the Diamond King Lao Wu" cooperated with Che Xiao to support his high popularity status in romantic dramas and is an existence that can compete for popularity in Korean dramas.

At that time, the platform organized online voting to select the popular drama of the year, and the champion and runner-up were all Deng Chao's dramas, and his works even overwhelmed the national hit "Crossing the Guandong" on the Internet, and the protagonist Deng Chao's ability to carry dramas can be seen.

After the release of several popular romantic dramas in succession, Deng Chao's selected dramas began to focus on non-love themes, and their performance was still outstanding.

starring in "You Are My Brother", is the 2011 crown.

After moving to the big screen, although Deng Chao has acted in many bad films, he has gained a lot in awards, and the three Chinese gold medals have been shortlisted, and there is a Golden Rooster actor trophy in hand, which is completely worthy of being classified as a "middle student".

In terms of the results of his works, he is definitely the best in the life of the small screen.

However, what impressed Deng Chao the most in Episode was his shaping power, which is quite distinctive among domestic entertainment actors.

The public's impression of the real star Deng Chao is basically a funny man, which is a relatively common "normal person" image, and in film and television works, most of his roles are also "normal people".

But Seven Words feels that Deng Chao's brightest thing is the extreme "abnormal" characters, such as a little perverted, paranoid, sick, domineering, "suspended"... Or a little scummy but affectionate characters, who can always present a different charm.

"Love Dispersed", the strong third party who can't love is full of tension, even if the plot and character scale are quite controversial for the current audience, there are many people who are provoked by the taboo and love desire interpreted by the characters.

The domineering president in "Difficult Love", the male protagonist who really makes "domineering" to the extreme in domestic dramas, is obviously a forcible robbery that does not fit the three views, but the audience can be seduced by the Su sense on him, which is really a metaphysics.

The most typical is Xiao Ran, the male protagonist of "Ten Years of Love", a scumbag who cheats while being affectionate.

The audience scolded the character's behavior extremely bitterly, but at the same time couldn't help but sigh that "Zasu" was really attractive, and seeing Xiao Ran, it seemed that he could understand why some girls knew that they chose a scumbag but it was difficult to get out.

When many people have difficulty digesting the suspension and greasy of the "overbearing president", Deng Chao can integrate the overbearing temperament with himself, and when many paranoid ethical roles are controversial, Deng Chao can show charm with these roles.

This unique adaptability can be regarded as the only one among online actors, if this unique shaping power continues, Deng Chao's ability to attract fans should be stronger, and it will not cause the age gap of fans.

But when it comes to career choices, he seems to be more fond of challenging new things.

When "Difficult Love" caught fire, Deng Chao considered avoiding this theme because of the popularity of many consecutive romantic dramas, and did not want to repeat himself, which is completely contrary to the situation that many young actors are addicted to receiving popular themes.

The choice of not indulging in safe areas and explosive areas has allowed Deng Chao to walk very wide on the road of actors, and once ushered in the results of double flowering of large and small screens, which is actually worth praise, and is the enterprising spirit that actors should maintain.

But choose a challenge, there will be success, and there will be failure.

In the follow-up, Deng Chao transformed into a director who still lost many battles, and he also liked to challenge the feeling of insecurity if he didn't love the safe zone, and seemed to be stuffy, and it seemed that he must let the audience see that he must be able to do what he likes well.

Unfortunately, what Deng Chao likes is often something that he is not suitable for in the eyes of the audience, such as comedy.

Audiences who often watched interview shows in the entertainment industry when they were children should still have the impression that Deng Chao has always been a "funny man" in life, and his various spoof anti-string performances in his student days are often Deng Chao's interview variety shows must reveal "black history".

This is also the key reason why he was chosen to become the original member of "Running Man".

Many places show that funny is his true love, but funny, and not very suitable for him, the failure of "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" is a typical representative, even playing the domineering president is not suspended at all, acting comedy pompous.

The two comedian + director challenges left him with the imprint of "bad films", and even the influence in young audiences overwhelmed his former actor achievements, resulting in his actor strength being underestimated, which may be completely unexpected by Deng Chao.

Objectively speaking, Seven Words feels that Deng Chao will be better to return to his role as an actor, he is a good actor who can bring amazing performances to the film and television industry, but everyone's choice and pursuit are different, and those who have potential may not necessarily be correct.

Now the audience's evaluation of Deng Chao's directorial works has become a bitter scolding of "bad films" to regret that they are "underestimated", which also indicates that he has grown up in an unsafe area, and it remains to be seen whether it will usher in qualitative changes in quantitative changes.

I hope that the underrated actor Deng Chao can prove that he can not be underestimated.
