When it comes to "ten billion movie king" Huang Bo, it is really unknown to everyone.
The summer season is coming, and Huang Bo also has a new movie to meet with everyone.
This movie not only has Huang Bo, but also Li Xuejian, Fei Xiang and other drama bones.
Moreover, it is said that it has been preparing for many years and investing three billion yuan, which is a sincere work of director Wu Ershan's eight years of sharpening a sword.
What's more, it is based on the traditional Chinese myth "Fengshen List".
The explosive points one after another, from the official announcement, everyone watched.
As soon as the trailer came out, the special effects exploded, the audience shouted that it was addicted, and the expectations were directly full.
But it is such a work that makes the audience eagerly await, but because of a still of Huang Bo, it was "ridiculed by tens of thousands of people".
Directly from "fengsheng" into "joke".
First, is it "Jiang Ziya" or "Tuxing Sun"?
In 2016, director Wu Ershan publicly spoke out, claiming that he wanted to shoot the "Fengshen Trilogy" based on the Fengshen List.
As soon as the news came out, it caused widespread heated discussions.
Not only because of the famous director's masterpiece and mythical background, but also rumored to have super high investment and an all-star cast.
As soon as the cast of 2020 was announced, it sparked a big discussion on the whole network.
People were surprised to find that Li Xuejian, an old actor who was nearly 70 years old, actually came out of the mountain.
The official announcement starred in Zhou Wen Wang Jichang, this image, this temperament, simply not too suitable.
Fei Xiang, a popular male god who is nearly 60 years old, also reappeared after a long silence, and appeared half-naked to play the King of Jun.
With messy black hair, a manly beard, and a strong body, he is a king of the king.
There is also the Golden Horse actor Xia Yu who is dressed in ink and full of skeletons, starring in Shengong Leopard, full of villain atmosphere.
In addition, there is the drama goddess Yuan Quan, who wears ancient costumes many years later and plays the virtuous and generous Empress Jiang.
The names of these people above are randomly pulled out one of the pillars of the box office, and this movie directly collects a set of king fried.
What's more, there is also Huang Bo playing Jiang Ziya.
Wait, Huang Bo? Ginger teeth?
Comedian Huang Bo wants to star in the temperamental Jiang Ziya? Is this really appropriate?
Netizens have the same questions as us.
The short-sized, wretched-looking Huang Bo and the crane-haired childlike and strategizing Jiang Ziya don't look at how not to match.
Seeing that the main drama is about to become a comedy, the biggest controversial point of this movie has emerged.
As soon as the stills came out, netizens complained one after another, and the complaints were clearly divided into two factions.
Huang Bodang said: "What kind of makeup is this? This is Huang Bo? This Huang Bo's mother can't recognize it. ”
Jiang Ziya Party said: "This is Jiang Ziya? I see that the land is still about the same. ”
Don't blame netizens for their poisonous mouths, Huang Bo's appearance in this movie is indeed difficult to say.
The face is full of wrinkles, small squinting eyes, plus messy white hair and a five-fifty figure.
It is very different from the image of Jiang Ziya in our impression, and it is even more miserable compared to the classic image of Jiang Ziya.
Huang Bo himself should not have thought that a small still could actually set off such a big storm.
In order to calm public opinion, Huang Bo can only respond to netizens in a self-deprecating way on social networks.
But this time Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence was not bought by anyone, and the scolding was still overwhelming, and even directly affected the reputation of the entire film.
Some people say that they want to laugh when they see Huang Bo, so this movie is not about to date.
Some people also say that such an important role as Jiang Ziya is so faceless, there is nothing to look at.
Some people also say that Huang Bo's recent thoughts have not been on the movie, and he has become a variety showman.
All bad films are accepted, this film is a bad film at first glance, resisted.
In this way, the reputation of "Fengshen Trilogy" changed from "Fengshen Collection" to "blockade".
Second, is it "all-star" or "all-blind"?
When Huang Bo was scolded for Jiang Ziya, there was another person who had the same illness as him and was also sprayed not lightly.
That is actor Chen Kun.
Speaking of Chen Kun, everyone should be familiar with it.
In his early years, he made a deep impression with classic roles such as Chen Zikun and Jin Yanxi.
But in this movie, Chen Kun's handsomeness became the original sin.
Just because he starred in Jiang Ziya's master, Yuan Shi Tianzun.
I saw Chen Kun in the poster in white clothes fluttering, living off a male protagonist in an idol drama.
Not yet the "Hu Bayi" he starred in has "manhood".
One of the stills reminds people of Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West", which makes people jump the scene.
Such Chen Kun and Huang Bo, who had a wrinkled face, put together, and knew that it was the master and apprentice of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Jiang Ziya.
I don't know, I thought it was grandpa and grandson.
In addition, his eyes are empty and his movements are stiff in the poster.
Without the charm and majesty of the Yuan Shi Tianzun as the sect leader, it is not surprising that he was criticized as tangible and soulless.
Speaking of being too handsome, there are some characters that have to be mentioned.
That is the "little fresh meat" that the director claims to have spent several years selecting from more than 10,000 people.
These little fresh meats are all muscle men.
Eye-nourishing is really eye-catching, but inexperience is really inexperience.
And these "amateurs" who have almost no acting experience actually want to play important roles such as Ji Fa, Yang Jian, and Yin Jiao.
Although the director has long said that he will use the lineup of old actors + amateurs or new actors, many netizens still can't accept it.
After all, the role is so heavy, and there are so many classic interpretations in front of them, it is understandable to worry about the ability of these young actors.
After talking about the controversy about handsome actors, let's talk about beautiful women.
The most anticipated female character in the list of gods is Daji.
As a "demon concubine" who indirectly caused the downfall of Yin Shang, Daji must be a beautiful woman with a natural bone.
In addition to appearance, it is also necessary to have acting skills.
It is necessary to perform not only the purity of Daji in the early stage, but also the charm and cruelty of her later stage.
This kind of female role with different appearances and great contrasts before and after is the most difficult to play.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, raising their heads, wanting to see the style of Xindaji, the film side sold a pass.
Tell us directly, confidential!
While the cast list is kept secret, it is very "scheming" to release a soft and slender back in the trailer, which arouses people's imagination.
This kind of appetizing operation has caused many viewers to speculate or choose their own Daji in the comment area.
In a short period of time, it made a big wave of popularity.
Some people say that this time they want to refer to the propaganda method of "The Legend of the Demon Cat" to keep Yang Guifei secret.
First secret, then amazed the world in one fell swoop.
But it is rumored on the Internet that the actor of Daji is also a fledgling girl, so it is controversial.
Looking at the photos of the actress on the Internet, it is not difficult to find that this girl seems to be more than pure, but not charming enough.
I don't know if she can perform the charm of Daji.
Third, is it "fengsheng" or "bad film booking"?
Seeing this, some soft-hearted friends may feel that a movie is just a movie, just watch it for fun.
Why are you so picky about actors, it's not easy for people.
I really can't blame netizens for being picky, but because the big IP of "God Sealing List" is too important.
After movies such as "The Return of the Great Sage" became popular, the world saw the power of traditional Chinese mythological IP.
Many netizens have spoken out hoping to develop a local "Fengshen series" and make domestic films really rise.
But the subsequent Fengshen series of movies "Jiang Ziya" and "Yang Jian" were all mediocre after they were broadcast, and did not meet the audience's expectations at all.
At present, the most recognized adaptation of the Fengshen List can be traced back to the TV series "Fengshen List" more than 30 years ago.
At that time, it was still the era when Lan Tianye played Jiang Ziya and Fu Yiwei played Daji.
Although the picture quality is rough and the service is cheap, the charm and temperament of the characters are there, which can be called a classic.
With the increasing level of TV series production, the Fengshen series no longer has good works.
It's either a random adaptation or a shoddy one.
And the slogan of the film "Fengshen Trilogy" was shouted loudly at the beginning.
It is claimed that the script alone has been polished for 5 years, and the investment is 3 billion yuan.
Such high-profile publicity will naturally raise the audience's psychological expectations.
Coupled with the famous sci-fi film director Guo Fan, who once published that "Compared with "Feng Shen", "The Wandering Earth 2" is simply a slum. ".
Let the audience's psychological expectations go up to another level.
However, after the pilot trailer of "Fengshen Trilogy" was released, it made the hearts of some audiences fall to the bottom.
The trailer has no shortage of wonderful special effects, animations and beautiful costume road displays.
So exquisite that even the lines on Lei Zhenzi's face can be seen clearly, but there are still many viewers who do not buy it.
The reason is that everything is too delicate, so delicate that it is somewhat distorted.
One of the most criticized is the messy clothing style, which is completely detached from the history of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.
It's just to be beautiful and beautiful, regardless of the character setting and historical background.
And the fight scenes, which should be magnificent, look like game screens.
More than delicate, not real, where it is like a movie, it is completely a game or cartoon.
In this trailer that is almost ostentatious to wealth, we don't see a bit of historical heaviness and texture.
It's all a pile of technology, seemingly gorgeous, but in fact empty and tasteless.
Therefore, many netizens began to express their worries and questioned whether it was a magical bad film.
After all, the famous bad film "Shanghai Fortress" also claims to have invested hundreds of millions of yuan, special effects exploded, famous guides escorted, and star blessings.
But the final result is also nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of Chinese fantasy films.
After all, after the work of archaeology director Urshan, everyone found:
This director is very good at creating gorgeous visual effects, but lacks control of the content of the story.
However, with a 30-second trailer alone, we can't directly label "Feng Shen" as a bad film.
Perhaps, those textured service roads are hidden in the feature film waiting for us to discover.
IV. Summary
As the saying goes: "The suspect is the buyer", and only when there is expectation will there be doubt.
The reason why this movie can cause such a big controversy is because the audience is expecting it enough.
I hope that the crew and director can really stick to their original intention, shoot a fantasy universe that belongs to Chinese, and live up to the audience's expectations.
As for casting, you don't have to care so much, after all, the contrast is only interesting.
Powerful actors such as Huang Bo do not eat by modeling, acting skills are real kung fu.
A still doesn't mean anything at all.
After all, a few days ago, Serenity performed the tragedy of the lonely queen on the show with a yellow-haired pigtail.
The superb acting skills make people completely ignore her look.
The addition of young actors can also inject new vitality into the interpretation of old drama bones, which may bring surprises.
A health evaluation system should have multiple standards, both for people and for movies.
For a movie, special effects and post-production can only show the most superficial part of the film.
Whether the plot can resonate is the ultimate criterion for evaluating the quality of the film.
Before the film comes out, any comments are speculation, and the evaluation after the broadcast has reference value.
I hope that after the release, the audience who buy tickets and consume can be "really fragrant".
