Tsui Hark is finally out of the mountains!
Recently, Tsui Hark's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" released the first concept poster, which clearly wrote that Guo Jing was played by Xiao Zhan, and the "Gram Girl" fell on Zhuang Duffy.
As soon as the poster comes out, who fights with the front?
Whether Xiao Zhan can be qualified for the role of Guo Jing has caused huge Internet discussion, and many terms have rushed into the hot search rankings, and the audience is generally not optimistic about Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan starred in Guo Jing, which is nothing more than two situations:
First, the role of Xiao Zhan was personally found by Tsui Hark, and in Tsui Hark's opinion, Xiao Zhan is very suitable for this role;
Second, the capital behind designated Xiao Zhan to play this role, Tsui Hark compromised with the capital and had to use Xiao Zhan, from the current point of view, the biggest investor in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" is China Film.
Whether there is capital manipulation behind this, only the investor and Tsui Hark know.
Let's analyze whether Xiao Zhan is qualified for this role, first, let's take a look at the plot summary of the film:
The historical background is set in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, when the Mongol army led by Genghis Khan was ready to go south to destroy the Song after conquering Jin.
At that time, the masters of the martial arts factions of the Central Plains were gathered, but there were constant disputes, and they were all planning for their own acres and three-point land, and there was no responsibility for the country and the world.
When facing the collapse of the country, Guo Jing gathered the martial arts power of the Central Plains, showed the spirit of "the great hero, for the country and the people", and vigorously defended Xiangyang.
Those who know the original work of Jin Yong's novel will definitely know that this plot comes from "The Condor Heroes", which means that the film will most likely not film Guo Jing to learn art from a teacher, fall in love with Huang Rong, and the story between various sects.
Even if it is filmed, it may not be colorful, and it is enough to prepare a 15-minute introduction to the preface at the beginning, because the timeline of this movie directly comes to Guo Jing's first stationing in Xiangyang.
It can also be seen from the subtitle "The Great of Xia" that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great of the Heroes" will be filmed with themes like "The Legend of Yue Fei" or "Yang Family General", which has a strong national heroic spirit, similar to Donnie Yen's "The Legend of Qiao Feng of the Dragon Babu".
At that time, Guo Jing was about 40 years old, Yang Guo was about 18 years old, he led martial arts people to guard Xiangyang for 30 years, if it is filmed into a trilogy, the age span will be more than 30 years, from 40 to 70 years old, until the city is broken...
Xiao Zhan is a traffic star, bright and beautiful, but his acting skills have been criticized, Xiao Zhan, born in 1991, is only 32 years old this year, how can he perfectly interpret this role?
The appearance can be achieved through makeup technology, such as the three main creators of the recently popular "Long Season", Fan Wei, Qin Hao and Chen Minghao, are all aged through special effects makeup, with a sense of age.
But acting skills can not be achieved through makeup, which requires the actor to figure out the heart of the character in a down-to-earth manner, how to act without a sense of violation, and also to exude the characteristics of the character.
Director Xin Shuang knows that young actors must have certain flaws, and the role of Shen Mo played by Li Gengxi was replaced by Zhang Jingchu twenty years later, and the age was put that, the acting skills were put that, and the audience could not find the slightest flaw in the egg.
It is impossible for Xiao Zhan to portray the mature and wooden chivalrous spirit of Guo Jing in his 40s, and Xiao Zhan has a high probability of word of mouth to hit the street.
Secondly, Xiao Zhan's "Yuxian 1" hit the street with a great reputation.
In 2019, directed by Cheng Xiaodong, Xiao Zhan and Li Qin's "Yuxian 1" opened during the Mid-Autumn Festival schedule, with a budget cost of 50 million yuan, and finally won 400 million at the box office, which did not bring losses to the producer, but the reputation really hit the street.
Douban's 650,000 viewers rated 4.5 points, a proper bad film, which can be on a par with Jet Li's "The Legend of Fengsheng", Andy Lau's "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", Wang Baoqiang's "Trouble in Tianzhu", Lu Han's "Shanghai Fortress", and Chow Yun-fat's "Macao Vice" series.
Although this movie is a fantasy theme, it still goes out from the martial arts branch after all, Xiao Zhan plays the first male protagonist Zhang Xiaofan in the film, and the first ten minutes completely destroyed this excellent IP, and the audience said that the best acting skills may be the monkey.
Xiao Zhan played Mune's Zhang Xiaofan as a fool, the skin was smiling and the flesh was not smiling, and the rhythm was seriously missing.
In the end, "Yuxian 1" won four Golden Broom Awards, and Xiao Zhan defeated Lu Han in "Shanghai Fortress" with this role and successfully won the Most Disappointing Actor Award.
The original version said that the trilogy "Xianxian", because the first part had a bad reputation, the latter two directly did not go away.
Tsui Hark uses Xiao Zhan as Guo Jing, and he is preparing to win the Golden Broom Award next year, and the probability of word of mouth hitting the street is as high as 90%.
In terms of box office, you can refer to Wang Yibo's "King of the Long Sky", this year's May 1st seed movie, and finally was beaten by Qiao Shanfan Chengcheng's "Life is Not Familiar".
Tsui Hark is famous and should not lose money, but it is basically impossible to sell in the long run.
Finally, the author believes that Xiao Zhan has some difficulty playing this role, and the concerns of netizens are reasonable.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a classic martial arts novel, and many people have their own imagination and expectations for the character image, so they will have different opinions on the choice of remake.
In short, Xiao Zhan's acting skills and image factors have led netizens to hold different views on Xiao Zhan's role as Guo Jing.
I don't know what Tsui Hark thinks, this role Hu Jun, Hu Ge, Huang Rihua, Zhang Hanyu and Zhu Yilong are all competent, why did you choose Xiao Zhan?
Do you have any views on whether Xiao Zhan is qualified for the role of Guo Jing?
