Having just seen the latest trailer for the movie "Sunshine Sister Tao", I almost thought that Bao Bell's remake might recreate the classic.
Especially seeing a piece of dialogue in the film.
"Li Jun, are you doing well?"
"I'm fine, my husband is good, my daughter is pretty good."
"What about yourself?"
“......”
"For more than ten years, I feel that I have always been a mother and a wife, as if I have forgotten myself."
Not just me, I think as long as you are a mother, seeing such a conversation, more or less touched.
However, after I calmed down, I thought about it, there are Korean original movies in front, and Japanese remakes in the back, and it is still very difficult for Bao Bell's remake to surpass them.
However, if the creators can fully consider the following three issues, I think there is still a little hope.
First, the current height of the Korean version and the Japanese version
The 2011 Korean film "Sunshine SisterS" came out.
Directed by the famous Korean director Kang Kyung-chul, the film is starring Shen Eun-kyung, Min Hyo-lin, Kang Sura, Nam Paula, Chen Hee-joong, Kim Shi-ho and Yoo Hao-jeong.
The film tells the warm story of the former members of the small group of "Seven Princesses" in middle school, and after 25 years of becoming a woman and mother, they reunite again and look for memories of youth.
After the film was released, it triggered almost the enthusiasm of youth memories throughout Asia.
Of course, as a commercial film, "Sunshine Sister Tao" has received word-of-mouth and box office criticism at the same time, but after so many years, it has become a classic.
You just look at it has a high score of 8.8 points in Douban, ranking 135th in the Douban TOP250, you can peep at the leopard.
Then there was the 2018 Japanese remake, starring Suzu Hirose and Ryoko Shinohara.
The Japanese version of "Sunshine Sister Tao" has once again triggered the fever of youth memories.
The following year, the film won the Japanese Director's Blue Ribbon Award, becoming the top ten films of the year.
On Douban, it won the highest rating japanese film in the 6th Douban Movie Annual List, with a rating of 8.3 points.
It is in the case of such a classic original and excellent remake in the front, when there is news that China will remake "Sunshine Sister Tao", netizens immediately quarreled.
Most of them are singing.
From these few words of evaluation, we don't see much useful.
However, I think everything can not be too absolute, which involves the ability of the main creator, such as if the domestic "Sunshine Sisters Tao" can grasp the essence of the original film, combined with the national conditions, new, another way, may be able to recreate the classic.
Let's get into that.
Second, the original plot is difficult to copy
Audiences who have watched the original "Sunshine Sister Tao" know that the plot of the original Korean film involves a large part of the problem high school students and school violence plots.
These contents are shown without scruples in the Korean and Japanese versions of the film, so the film is a good expression of the restlessness and enthusiasm of adolescence.
However, due to different national conditions and different film censorship systems, in China, even if this part is filmed, it may eventually be deleted.
If this part of the content is deleted, it will have a certain impact on the quality of the film itself, and the audience will obviously feel that something is missing, after all, many people have watched the original movie.
Of course, I think Bao Bell should not sit still, at least I saw in the trailer, he focused on the sisters years later on the comparison of changes.
In addition to the happy student days in the film, there are also the life changes that the good sisters appear when they reunite many years later.
In the trailer, the pictures of each girl's girlhood and middle-aged life are switched in turn, and the objects of the past and present are not very serious, and it is easy to arouse the strong resonance of the audience.
Especially those poignant lines:
After all these years, are you still living for yourself? Is life free, healthy, rich, happy, fulfilling, idealistic, and young?
How are the companions who grew up with us, the sisters and brothers who are most precious in our lives, doing now?
If the audience sees this and is already moved by the deliberately rendered plot, then this film can also be justified.
The original plot can not be copied, with sensationalism to make up, of course, this is just my personal deduction, the final film will be what it will be like, we can only wait and see.
Now what I'm most worried about is the ability of the creator.
Third, the ability of the main creator
Many people know that the domestic "Sunshine Sister Tao" is directed by Bao Bell, starring Yin Tao, Zeng Li, Zhang Xinyi, Ma Su, Ni Hongjie, Jiang Xiaohan special starring, Wang Yueting, Zhou Jieqiong, Liang Songqing, Wang Qing, Yang Han, Xia Meng, Zhao Ming starring.
I have to say that this lineup can be called a combination of gods and immortals in terms of appearance.
However, you have to admit that neither the actor nor the director is very eye-catching.
The first is Bao Bell, who has not directed many works and the quality is very average.
In 2018, his independent directorial debut film, Fat Man Action Team, also won the Most Disappointing New Director Award at the 10th Golden Broom Awards.
"Sunshine Sister Tao" is his second film directed independently, and I personally express my concerns about the final quality.
In addition, a group of actors, many of them are the protagonists in the TV series, they are also very good, and their acting skills are also good, especially Yin Tao and Zeng Li.
But they rarely star in movies, and the gap between movies and TV series is very large, and whether they can control the role well on the big screen is a problem.
What's more, there are also a group of teenage actresses, and whether the girls they play can make a good transition to the middle age is also a problem.
Of course, it is still that sentence, everything can not be too absolute, and we have to consider many factors when evaluating the quality of a movie.
After all, there are many high-box-office and low-reputation movies today, and there are also many high-word-of-mouth and low-box office movies.
Therefore, the domestic "Sunshine Sister Tao" can become one of the above two kinds of success.
Oh, and by the way, the film was finalized on June 11, a month later, and we'll see.
Well, today I will say here, the domestic "Sunshine Sister Tao" is about to be released, breaking through these three points, Bao Bell Yin Tao Zeng Li or recreating the classic,
In addition to considering that the classic status of the original film is difficult to surpass, and the original plot is difficult to copy, the rest is to see whether Bao Bell and the creators can innovate and find another way.
